"Theie aie many clicumstances." said Manager Orlflm last night, "which make me believe that tho club will lie continued In this cltj, but befoio speakinr, in detail about that I want to sav a word about the past of the piesent association. The men who compose It assumed contiol of tho club with the put pose of making it a .suc cess accotdlng to their own Ideas or to abandon the enteipii.-e. It has been a falluio financially, but only In that paitlcular. Spectators have seen good ball and clean ball, they have had the best of paik laullltles and attention. The owners did not poiinlt Sunday playing nor would they dispose of good plaeis and get poor ones In older to lessen their losses.
