A Cleveland paper speaks as follows in regard to the Forest City Club of that city: “The management of the Forest City Club have wound up the concern. The nine is to be paid off to-day, and the contracts of the players canceled. The nine will henceforth play on its own hook as a co-operative club. James White has been chosen captain and will play second base, Sweasy being left out of the new firm. The head-quarters of the club will be in Cleveland as heretofore, and it is to be hoped that it will be more successful than the managers have in bringing clubs to Cleveland to play. It is now the first of August and we have seen but three first-class games in Cleveland. We wish the boys success. They can play a good game if they choose, and now that they are working for themselves they have a chance to show what they are made of.
