Text	A large number of the old Metropolitan Club players of this city were at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday afternoon, and as many, if not all, of them are not under engagement for next season, they decided to reorganize the old Indians and play their own hook. A meeting looking toward such a move will be held at 21 Park row on Wednesday next. The make-up of the team as it has been suggested is as follows: Holbert, c.; Lynch, p.; Charley Jones, 1st b.; Troy, 2d b.; Nelson, 3d b.; Kennedy, l.f.; Roseman, c. f.; Burdock, r. f.; Sam Crane and Hankinson, substitutes. Three of the players are willing to put up $20,000 to back the team, while outside parties have already offered to p ut up from $10,000 to $15,000. It looks very much as though the team would make it a go, and there is no reason in the world why they should not play good bal, and they will to.
