My ideas of what the National league would de at Clci eland didn't pan out very well, except In that my belfef that Indianapolis would net be forced out proved correct. Cer tainly If unanimity en the part of the ether clubs and (icrsiiatlva ekxjuence could have done the business there would be only eight clubs Iu the Lcague today; but Jehn T, finish was determined net te be dislodged, and with typical Indiana persistency lie held the fort and Is still holding It. There area great many people In the vicin ity of New Yerk, and iu ether places, tee, who firmly believe that Brush will yet capitulate, and the League will only have eight clubs when the bell rings. It seems te me rather a forlorn hope, and yet I knew that some of the Mew Yerk club managers still believe that Brush will weaken. Messrs. Seden, Spalding and Roblxen, the committee who tried te argue Mr. Brush Inte selling out, are persuasive men, nnd if tbey could net talk ever the Indiana man there Is little chance of ethers succeeding. The schedule has been made and the ten clubs seem te lie fixtures. That ten clubs will handicap the League financially Is quite ovl evl dent It forces them te lap off fourteen games from the quota of each club, and this, togethcr with eight open dates, gives a total less of twenty-two games te each club, en tailing the sacriflcoef the receipts such games would bring, which may safely be estimated at fUO.000 a club. Then comes the less in drawing power, owing te the weakness of two or three of the teams. Washington is lamentably deficient In playing material. Pittsburg ts net ever strong, and New Yerk has net get the t-nin that IU Importance re quires. Still, by the time the season opens, six weeks from new, Mr. Day will have a team that will satisfy New Yorkers. Pitts burg will strengthen tome, but where Walter Hewitt is te get a team te represent Wash ington that is of any account as compared te the ethers, Is one of these things no fellow can find out. His chnnce teams te lie In the disruption of the International league, but that organization Beems se tenacious of life that there Is hope for it yet The Brotherhood has prepared Its schedule, and Its mnnagers are In high glee ever the discomfiture of Jehn U, Day nnd at the pros pects of the new league. Tbey tay that Jehn T. Brush by refusing te get out of the leugue mere than makes amends for having per per tueded nine Brotherhood players te stick te the League. One of tbe miner leaders ad mitted te me the ethor day that with eight clubs, with the Iudlanapelis players In New Yerk, the playing strength of the two leagues would lie pretty well balanced. "But," said this gentleman, "they ain't In It with ten clubs." It Is Just possible that they will be In It with ten clubs and very much iu It, I think, when all the lines are set for business. And there Is yet n geed chance for a induc tion frdtn ten te eight clubs. Collectively the Brotherhood has about 10 per cent, the best of the League in players, I belle ve. Cetnmrcl team for team, se far as paer calculations can demonstrate It, the Brotherhood has a much greater advantage In Miuie places. Lea lug New Yerk aside, becauee the league team is net cempleted, the Brethel heed appears te have the strongest teams at Chicago, at P'ttsburg and at Cleve land. In Brooklyn the League team leads. At Philadelphia and Bosten it is very near a stand elT. At Buffalo the Brotherhood will net lme Lengue opesltion, but the Indian aKlls or Cincinnati teams are far suierler te the Buffalo aggregation. The League will have no opposition at Washington, Indian a polls or Cincinnati. Of course these are estimates based en paper strength. When actual playing Is made tbe test it may turn out that the weak are strong and the strong weak. Such are the possibilities of baseball. The preliminary exhibition tm ion give ene u few tips tn this dlroctien, aud with fair weather the practlce beasen premises te be Interesting and excltlug. The American association, which scemed lest December te be hopelessly knocked out, has rcce cred from the shock mm h better than any ene expected It would. It has com pleted its circuit and will start out with eight cities, which are all llable te de well with tweuty-flve cent ball. The list comprises Broekljn, Rochester, Syracuse, Philadelphia, Teledo, Columbus, St. Leuis and Louisville. Tbe Association has lest tbe prestige It on en on jeyed last jear. Although still a major league and n virty te the national ngreement of the first part, it really classes little tiettur than the Wextcrn association, and even the Atlanlle nvtociatlen is llable te puu it for importance us n league The Association this season has a pretty hard ?"" te hoe insoeralef its cities. In .Philadelphia and Brookh u It will have two i' clulis In opposition, and nil strong ones, tee. The Athletics, however, have a strong held en the Philadelphia public and may pull through, but the Ieah of se many of the old faeritrw will hurt thu club a great deal. Still, with Welch, Purcell, Seward and Itol Itel Invm left Manager Sharsig may make both ends meet, but that they will make a dollar profit few baseball men believe. Indeed, the opinion prevails that all the Philadelphia clulw will leso money. The future of the Brooklyn American asso ciation club seems te me te rest ery largely upon whether or net It is permltted te play Sunday games. If it is, the tiwn may pull through with small less. Otherwise it will net be In it financially, cven though Its salary list is lighter, perhaps, than any tam In the Association. Rochester will de well eueugh. Teledo will held Its own if iu tenm is any w here in the race. S) racue will lese money. I doubt It Its managers expect te make any, Columbus, with Its expensive team, ought te (.tay up among the leaders nnd male both ends meet financially, St Leuis will ceme near being iu the turreen befere the season is ever, aud Louisville well, Jack Chapman may save it from disaster hy his managerial ehremlness, hut he will have a very difficult task after the exierieuce LeuUvilla went through last season with a fair but terribly mismanaged team. On the w hole the outlook for the American association is net brilliant, but eiery cloud has its siher lining, and perhaps theentrgy of Pat Powers at Rochester, young Mr. Fra ler at Syrncuse, Jimmy Kennedy in Brook lyn, mud Jink Chapman at Louisville and Billy Sunrslg nt Philadelphia may proe Just the alley uecessai y te bring the Association metal te the standard of success. If pluck, bustle, shrewdness aud courage will win, the Association, under the leadership of Zack Plulps, with such lieutenants, ought te ouce rnmre ceme te the front W 1. llARnts. OBSERVATIONS ON WHIST. Type uf Whist IMajrers te He Met with In the Course nt Traiel. The writer of a book en whist which has but receutly Iwen published, nnd which I should he glad te give the name of te my readers, ns it is really an excellent book, were it net for the fact that I de net doslrenny fame as an advertising agent the writer of this book, let me oliserve, has taken occasion te speak contemptuously of railroad whist, nnd I must confess te a fix ling of sympathy with hlai in the evident sincerity of his dis gust at the player you meet in the smoking car. Some jeart age I took a trip up the Mis sissippi uver ou a beat, and having uniple luisure the passengers organized a whist table. My partuer was a gruft old Englishman, who had imhilied jut enough of the piiuclples of "Cavendish" te make him, if auythitig, a worse player than if he had resorted mere te bus own natural Intelligence, Fer te days we placed together, and it was us much as the old gentleman () could de te restrain him self at what he considered my stupid play. Near the close of the second day's play i made an unsuccessful llnesse, playing the nine third hand n hen I also held the knave, ami the ten w as nt my left. At this my partner's ire brole forth, lie threw down his cards in a vieleut fit of anzer and. ttuuiuiua bit feet. lie exclaimed! "BJ gad, r, yeti are tM most stupid player I ever saw. Yeu ought te threw yourself overboard. " The most exasperating type of whist player te meet it the one who bat read a few whist books and thinks that he knows It all. I was recently Introduced te a gentleman of this kind. "I have been told," said be, "that you play the gams, and should enjoy playing with you, but, let ma tell you, sir, that I play entirely by book, and I absolutely refuse te play with a careless player. I have mails a study of the game, sir, and flatter myself I understand it." I thought I had struck a rite, but, alatl I found that a few rules earned by heart bad se clogged his under standing and warped hit reason that be was worse than useless as a player of the real game. He would , flneess precisely at the wrong time, and hit knowledge of unblock ing was te uncertain that be was sure te get tangled up aud fall helpless at the most criti cal period. I made up my mind that In whist, at In life, "a little learning it a dangerous tiling," and my experience Is that the man who studies the game for IU own sake, trying te find a reason for every play without refer ence te books, It a much better partner than he who depends entirely upon written rules. In an experience of years of travel In va rious sections of the country I have never yet met a whist player who united a systematic reasoning with a thorough knowledge of the laws of the game. The great difficulty Is that peeple have net the time te devote te the study of the game. They will pass hour upon hour playing euchre, casino, hearts, seven up and llke games, and, Indeed, they will play what It termed railroad whist, but the idesef making a study of the game is te tliem absurd and ridiculous, nnd yet, at ene who bat played all games, I have no hesitation in saying that for an Intellectual human being there It no game which affords se much pleasure at whist New situations are constantly crowding themselves en the player, and te meet them with a keen reason and an understanding mind affords an enjoyment which is peculiar te the whist player. Let these who would learn the gume study It in Its entirety, and as they grew elder in it tbey will And that it will become one of the keenest intellectual pleasures of their lives. Tem Lansine.
