There is to be no second nine in the Allegheny Base-ball Club. Every man we have hired belongs to the Allegheny Club, and they will all have an equal chance to be put forward, and the most capable man will be given the position. I intend to divide men up as evenly as can, making two nines, and playing one against the other through April. At the end of that time it will be pretty clear who are going to do the playing this season. The best men, of course, will be taken to contest for the American Association championship when it begins in May. I have great confidence in some of our new players. They are developing well, and if trainer Smith tells me aright, there will be more activity in the field and in base running among our players this season, a thing we have been very deficient in heretofore. We hope to make a good showing, but our ability to play ball can be tested better by the 1 st of May., quoting Denny McKnight
