Devlin, the crooked pitcher of the Louisvilles, is in town, and will remain here for some days. The story of his wanderings and suffering since his expulsion from the League is pitiful in the extreme. He has played most of this season in the champion amateur club of Canada, and, after winning the pennant for them by his superb work, he was cheated of a liberal part of his salary, and was obliged to leave his wife and 3-year-old boy in that country. He claims that if he can obtain the signatures of three out of the five members of the Judiciary Committee of the Internal Association, he can be reinstated. Devlin is in Utica now for the purpose of presenting his petition to Mr. Lynch for his signature, and promises, if he is successful, and the Association allows him to play once more, that he will come to Utica for next season at a nominal salary, notwithstanding the liberal offers he has received from other clubs., quoting the Utica Republican
