“Buck” Ewing, catcher of the New York club, says he is going to Australia with a ball team next winter, and the team will not be Spalding’s: “I go with Jim Hart’s combination. Jim Hart arranged for an Australian trip early last fall, on the same plan as Spalding’s. Ten of the twenty or more men who will go on the trip have already been named. They are Pfeffer, Kelly, Williamson, Wood and Irwin of Philadelphia; Carroll of Pittsburg and John Ward. The names of the other two men I’ve forgotten.” The chances are, however, that Spalding’s agent in Australia has made such preparations that the Hart combination’s trip will be given up.
