Text	[from the Pittsburgh correspondent] There has been quite a quantity of talk flying around here about the Pittsburgs going to take the place of the St. Louis League club, but a responsible authority has said that there is nothing in it. At the same time it is looked upon here as an almost settled fact that Pittsburg will next year be represented in the League. That body has been trying very hard for some time to coax us in, as there is no better city in the country for base ball than this, but one thing the League will find, and that is that if we do go in, the League must make some concessions for us. A twenty-five cent tariff is the only thing that will pay here. Then we do not want to be treated as Washington and Kansas City, that is to have to make up our team out of the leavings of the other clubs. If we cannot succeed in taking out pick of our present players with us, it will go a long ways towards keeping us just where we are.
