James Mutrie, the organizer and manager of the Metropolitans, withdraws from that club at the close of the season. Mutrie is now getting together a club to represent New York in the American Association next season. He is backed by Messrs. Lippincott and Day, the present backers of the Metropolitans, who have a lease on the Polo grounds, where the “Mets” now play. Among the players that are claimed for the new club are Radbourne, Start, Gore and several of the Metropolitan nine. It is likely that the “Mets” will be under the management of Ferguson, with their grounds in Brooklyn.
