Soon after the conclusion of the disastrous season of 1898, negotiations were entered into by the Brooklyn and Baltimore clubs, which culminated in the consolidation of the two organizations. The four owners, Harry Von der Horst, Edward Hanlon, Chas. H. Ebbets and F. A. Abell, pooled their stock, giving up half their holdings in their respective clubs and receiving the equivalent in the other. Charles H. Ebbets was retained as president of the Brooklyn Club at a salary of $4,000, F. A. Abell and Harry Von der Horst became secretary and treasurer, respectively, at a salary of $2,000 each, while Edward Hanlon was appointed manager at the princely salary of $10,000. In the Baltimore corporation Edward Hanlon retained his position as president, F. A. Abell became vicepresident and Mr. Borman, secretary. The others were elected directors. The leading players of both teams were assigned to Brooklyn, the remainder going to Baltimore. Under the clever management of HanJon, the Brooklyn team won the pennant of 1900, while the Baltimore team, under the capable lead of John McGraw, furnished the surprise of the season by finishing fourth, when a second division place was the best expected of them. The Brooklyn team displayed early ability. On May 22 it forged to the front and maintained its lead until the end. The cleverness of Hanlon made this possible. Dahlen was shifted to short field while the release of Casey was purchased from Washington for $3,500 and the new assigned to third base. man McGann of first base was released, Anderson being transferred to the initial bag. He, however, failed to improve the strength of the team there, and Jennings was ultimately placed at first base, where he proved to be a star. The catching department was strengthened by the acquisition of Farrell and McGuire, Grim and Smith being disposed of. The pitchers were also added to from time to time, but the four stars, Hughes, Dunn, Kennedy and McJames, did most of the work. officiating in 137 of the 148 games played and winning 94 of them.

The New York Club had a disastrous season, losing, it is said, in the neighborhood of $40,000. The policy of rule or ruin inaugurated by Presdent Andrew Freedman in 1898 was continued, no effort being made to strengthen the team, which fared poorly from the start.

Although as much cricket as ever was played throughout the United States during 1899 the game and its American exponents did not show to quite the same advantage as formerly. In the test between English and American cricket, furnished by the visit to this country of Ranjitsinhji's team, the Yankees came in for no share of the laurels. On the other hand Young America, represented by an eleven of Quakers, did splendid work by winning the international match with Canada. Philadelphia continues the stronghold of cricket in this country, and upheld its supremacy by defeating New York in the inter-city match. The game continued to develop in and around the Metropolitan District, and particularly so in Brooklyn, which added one more club, the New York Cricket Club, formerly of Manhattan, to its list. The League championship went to the Knickerbocker A. C. and the pennant of the N. Y. Cricket Association was captured by the Paterson Cricket Club.

The general riding dropped off. as did the club memberships, etc. In racing there was an expensive effort, by the two factions that rended the sport, to make a brave showing. In the New England States and upper New York State the League of American Wheelmen held its old time sway; in New York City and in the bigger cities the National Cycling Association made big inroads and monopolized the sport.
