Text	[discussing attempts to persuade Van Haltren to come to Chicago] Van Haltren also received a telegram from Lou Hardie, of Chicago, congratulating him upon his being now a White Stocking. It seems that the ex-catcher of the Haverlys is in a very bad way, not having a pitcher for this season, and the missive sent by him is regarded as a shrewd dodge to enlist the Oaklander in the nine, and, therefore, strengthen Hardie's chances of keeping with the team the entire season. Flynn, Hardie's pitcher, besides having a sore arm, is ill, and may not be in condition to play this season. The other batteries are paired, and, of course, Hardie, being of no value to Spalding without a pitcher, is endeavoring to secure the Oakland “phenom.
