Text	[from the Boston correspondent] ...the “Three Graces” have carried through a deal that is big even for them, and think nothing of a $10,000 deal. It is not a “big four,” but a “big five” this time. Isn't this a quintette of stars:--Brouthers, Richardson, White, Bennett and Ganzel? Before this has been read each one of these five “Jim Dandies” will be at liberty to sign a Boston contract. At 2 o'clock on Wednesday morning ex-President Stearns, of the Detroit Club, and Treasurer Billings, of the Bostons, signed the papers in New York, which gave us the cre4am of the Wolverine team. So far as any deal can be perfected until the players have signed the contracts this one is complete. Only one thing can block it. Of course any one of these five men can refuse point blank to play in Boston, but there is not a fool in the lot. They are all bright young men, and over seven.
