| Text | Manage Mutrie has determined to take up the old reserve team idea originated by Harry Wright, and will carry two nines next season. One will be the regular team and the other will be known as the New York Club's Reserves, and will play on the Mott Haven grounds under the management of Mr. Becannon, who had charge of the grounds last season. All the players who will play in the second nine will sign regular League contracts with the New York Club. Some of the young players who signed contracts some time since with the New Yorks, instead of waiting to be called upon by the managers of the regular nine, will earn their salaries by showing their points in the second nine. The idea of the New York people in putting two nines in the field is to bring out players for their regular team and to have men in reserve when wanted. It may work well, and if properly handles may even be made a source of revenue. It's worth a trial, anyhow. |
