The Cincinnati Park will have very few idle days the coming season. Manager Schmelz wilol never take more than thirtee men on a trip. In consequence there will be four or five extra players left at home all the time. It iwll not do to let these men lay around the ctiy with nothing to do. Idleness would only do them harm, and in order to give them occupation and also afford the public an opportunity of witnessing games during the absence of the Cincinnatis, President Stern has determined to organize a team similar to the Shamrocks of 1883 and 1884. This team will be made up of Cincinnati’s extra men and a number of amateurs to be engaged hereafter. This team will play exhibition games with Ohio League clubs and other combinations during the absence of the Cincinnatis.
