[from “Mugwump's” column] This man Anson is a veritable wonder in managing a ball team. He has some ideas entirely original, and one of them enables hyim to pick out the finest young players in the county. He takes youngsters whom he has never seen play but once, perhaps, and immediately they turn out trump cards. Everybody wonders how me makes his selections. I'll give it away. He has men on the loookout for him all over the country, whose judgment he can depend on. Tim Murnan is his agent here, and is expected to follow the New England League closely. Tim picked out Martin Sullivan for Anson last fall. Up in the International League Joe Battin is keeping his eyes open, and through him Anson may be able to pick out the best man in this League. Then, out in the Western League, “Ans” gets his tips from orator Shaffer.
