[from the Washington correspondent] I regret that I am compelled to announce that Scanlon has disposed of his stock and has severed his connection with the club entirely. It will seem strange to see a club running in this city without his finger being in the pie. He has been closely identified with all base ball affairs in this city since away back in the sixties, and made a trip with the old National Club in '67 which did so much toward advertising base ball and gaining for it a firm foothold as the great American sport. He informed me this morning that he desired to see the local club succeed and become pennant winners, but that his private business, on which the support of his family depended, must receive his entire attention.
