GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAT
It is surprising to know of the mistaken
opinion that to a large extent prevails re
garding the quality of ball playing to be
fonnd among the minor leagues as com
pared with that of the larger organizations.
Of course the general idea has been for a
very long time that good players in either
the National League or American Associa
tion would have what is commonly called a
picnic in the lesser organizations. There
are, however, some good authorities who
contend otherwise. This contention, doubt
less, appear strance to the vast majority of the
enthusiasts, but it is this feature that makes it
exceedingly Interesting.
Sarins a conversation on the matter yester
day Al Pratt said: "I confess that for a long
time I was fully convinced that nothing ap
proaching good ball playing could be seen in
the minor leagues. A few years ago there was
some truth in an opinion of this kind, but
lately things have cbanccd considerably.
SOME OF THE FIXEST.
I state emphatically that last season I wit
nessed as fine a class of ball playing on the
grounds of minor leagues as I have ever seen
on the Pittsburg grounds. I have been forced
by the clearest evidence in the world to change
the opinion I held a few years ago. I have no
ticed that as a rule players in the small leagues
are considerably more fearless than those in
the big leagues. There is a reason for this, and
it is fonnd In the fact that the young men in
the small organizations aro extremely anxious
to make a reputation at all hazards. Besides
young players are becoming more numerous
every year, and this means that there are more
good men at command. It is really surprising
to learn the great number of young players
who apply for engagements now. Certainly I
do not wish to be understood as saying
that the minor leagues are entirely as
good as the larger bodies, but I do contend
that there is not that great difference in tho
quality of playing as is cenerally understood.
Huw do our 'best League or American teams
suffer defeat at the hands of the lesser lichts?
Many of us are disposed to attribute these de
feats to luck or flukes. Such is not always the
case, however. The result is caused by a better
class of playing than the big people generally
expect."
Manager Swartwood also had something to say
on the question. "I was never more deceived
in my life," he said, "than I was when I joined
the International League.
HE EXPECTED A PICNIC.
"I really thought that I would have a picnic
in holding my own. I was badly fooled, how
ever, and it keeps me hustling for all I am
worth to keep anything like even. lean say
without fear of successful contradiction that I
have seen as good ball played in the minor
leagues as I have ever seen in the National
League or American Association. For instance.
Cliff Carroll used to be considered a prominent
base-runner in the National League, and he
was a good runner. When he joined the
International League there were several better
men than he was in that respect. Young Keefe,
the pitcher whom Washington bought from
the International League, puzzles many of the
big hitters of the National League, and when
he pitched in a minor league he got a worse
drubbing than he has ever gotten since. 1
venture to say that if Rowe and White were to
play jn ihe International League they will not
be one whit more snecessf ul than they were in
the league they want to leave. I can mention
numerous players who wore considered
good in the big leagues and who
barely held their own in the small,
organizations. The players in the latter are
more enthusiastic as a rule. I know clubs
the members of which spend hours a morning
in learning to slide. They will make a mark,
say about 12 feet from the base, and then
practice to slide that distance. When they can
accomplish that they make the mark 15 or 16
feet away from the base, and by this kind of
enthusiastic practico they soon know exactly
what they can do In a game, and they can do it
welL Ball players are becoming so numerous
that the big organizations cannot'take all the
good men, and they must necessarily play with
clubs of lesser note. The opinions I have just
expressed are the result of practical ex
perience. There is no theory about them."
BOOMING THE PEDS.

About Ward'a Return.
WAshhtqtox, March 7. During a talk with
President Hewitt, of the Washington dob, this
evening he said Ward had left Liverpool for
New York last Friday and that he would meet
him there when he arrived. "We are -able to
pav Jl2.C00.for Ward's release, and will give
him Vvery liberal salary. I don't think Boston
wants Ward now. Mr. Soden told mo yester
day that some of the Boston papers have been
more anxious about W ard's future than he or
bis partners have. I will take Morrill if I can
Est him, but 1 don't think Boston will release
Un. At any rate, Washington will place tho
strongest team in the field it ever had. Our
people have patronized us liberally, and we are
anxious to show them that we appreciate what
tbey have done for us."

said: "I will rest at home a short time and
then proceed to St. Pack where I jeprt on
April L I think we'll have a good claj this
year, and if we don't win the penant, we'll not
be far from it."

A CALL ONXJARNOT.
The French President Unable to Attend the
Game In Paris To-Day Monsieur Lynch
Disappointed Boulangcr Bound to Be
President.
tBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.
Pabis, March 7. Copyrlghtl The weather
continues bad, but the prospects are fine for -a
big attendance to-morrow, if the game can bo
played. Lynch visited President Carnot, this
afternoon, with an Invitation. M. Carnot
responded that he would be most happy to at
tend, if possible. Later he sent word that an
official engagement prevented, but he would
send his official staff.
It was ImpoJ8lble,of course, to send an official
invitation to Boulanger, but it is likely he will
be there if the game can be played. Notes of
invitation have been sent also to all the em
bassies, and the responses show that the at
tendance will be of a most desirable character.
It will be necessary to leave on Friday night,
after the game, in order to be in Bristol on
Saturday, where a game is billed. Many Amer
icans called at the Hotel St. Petersburg to-day
to see the boys. Placards announcing to-morrow's
game may be seen in all the principal
shops.
Ward has told Spalding that It will be neces
sary for him (Ward) to leave the company
after the first gamo in England. Ward says
this is made necessary by the state of his per
sonal affairs. He says he has a note due on
Denver property on March 29, and other affairs
requiring his attention. Arrangements have
been made so that this defection will not injure
the trip.
BIG SALE OP TEOTTEBS.
All the Lending Horsemen at the New York
Auction Mr. Qnlnion Bnya Mascot for
826,000 Other Costly Horses Bongbt.
New Yoke, March 7. Fully 2,500 people as
sembled in the American Institute building at
10 o'clock this morning to be present at tho
auction combination salo of California trot
ting stock. They found that a trotting track
nearly one-sixth of a mile in length had been
laid in the building in order that the gait and
style of animals to be sold might be displayed
thereon to good advantage.
This sale, both in the number of animals of
f ered and their character, was the most import
ant ever known in the East.
It was the greatest gathering of trotting
horsemen seen in New York this winter, and
was mainly composed of men whose names are
well known on every trotting track and stable
in America. Prominent among these were
David Bonner. J. H. Schultz, J. D. Ferguson,
Jack Splan, John Madden and W. H. Croffut,
both ot Lexington, Ky.: Jack Bowen and John
Golden, of Boston; John Goldsmith, of Califor
nia; Peter Johnson, of Philadelphia; B. F.
Myers, Dayton, O.; J. M. Wilcox. Wilkesbarre,
Pa., and Gabe Case, of New York.
Promptly at 1 o'clock the autioneer mounted
his rostrum and the famous bay filly Nehushta
was hooked to a sulky and sent around the
ring. She is by Stamboul. 2:14; dam, Mel
uska, 2:30 at 2 years. Nehushta is 15 bands
high, and is marked by a small star She has
been broken single and double, is a natural
trotter, and made 2.37 when 3 years old, and
2:30 on January 11 last, winning her race in
three straight heats. She was knocked down
to J. H. Schultz. of Brooklyn, for8a,500.
Then came the sensation of the day. The
sale of Mascot by Stamboul-Minnebaha and his
yearling brother. It was announced that bid
ders could have their choice of the animals.
Mascot is a fine-sized bay with a white left hind
ankle and white face coronet. He is a tnlen
did looking colt, with fine action, and is of un
doubted gam en ess. He has trotted a quarter
of a mile in 3S seconds, and was warranted to
go faster.
He was started at S5.000, but in less than a
minute $8,000 was offered for him. His price
advanced steadily 31,000 a clip until $13,000 was
bid for him. Then the auctioneer paused a
moment and made a little speech in which he
claimed that 25,000 would only be a fair price
for him or other colts he was selling, and pre
dicted that the stock farm which got him, no
matter how obscure it might now be, would be
celebrated and marked hereafter.
After this bidding went steadily on until
820,000 was reached, when there was consider
able applause. The contest was now between
Mr. Schultz, of Brooklyn, and Mr. D. S. Quin
ton, of Trenton, N. J They raised each other
$500 at a clip until a burst of applause greeted
the call of 525,000. It was Mr. fcchultrs oiler.
Mr. Quinton saw him and went (1,000 better.
Mr. bchultz turned his back to the auctioneer,
who dwelt a few moments over $26,000, and
then, amid deafening applause, knocked the
animal down to Mr. Quinton at that figure, the
greatest ever bid for a 2-year-old at an auc
tion. Other horses of noted breeds were sold at
good prices, including a brown filly by Alcazer,
who was sold to J. D. Ferguson, of this city,
for $4,000. An Alcazer colt was also bought by
Mr. Ferguson for $2,300.
STECBENTILLE WEAKENS.
Nobody There Will Venture to Orgnnlze'a
Ball Club.
Al Pratt visited Steubenville yesterday with
the object of trying to get a baseball club or
ganized there in connection with the Tri-State
League. Mr. Pratt returned home fully con
vinced that a club cannot be organized there
this year. Speaking of his trip he said:
"There is considerable baseball enthusiasm in
Steubenville, but the difficulty is to get hold of
somebody to be responsible for a club. About
$1,000 would organize a team there that would
pay well, and I'm certain that more than that
could be secured from the business people.
Why 100 persons could soon be found who
would be willing to put up $10 a piece, just be
cause of the advertising that city would
get as a result. If I had not been
in bnsmess here I could soon have a team in
Steubenville. 1 would get about 11 young men.
paying the fielders and basemen from $45 to $50
per month each, and two batteries at about $60
or $70 each man, and have a good team. There
are plenty ofood young men ready to make a
start at these figures. The grounds and grand
stand are there yet and everything could be
made comfortable at little expense. However,
high salaries placed the club in so much debt
when it was in the Ohio State League that no
body seems inclined to be identified with it
again. I think Erie will be willing to take the
place intended for Steubenville. Erie Is a
good place and will have an excellent team."
TERY MUCH CONCERNED.
Officials of the Local Club Figuring on
Kaehne's Case.
The officials of the local club are much con
cerned about the difficulty that Kuebne and
probably Morris have gotten into concerning
the charges against them for running a poker
room. Yesterday morning Manager Phillips
and Secretary Scandrett had a long conversa
tion about the matter. They examined the law,
and found that the penalty for such offenses Is
a fine of $500 and a year's imprisonment.
Last evening Manager Phillips stated that
Chief Kirschler is of opinion that the accused
players need not expect to be leniently dealt
with. It is understood that there is a warrant
out for the arrest of Morris when he returns
to the city. There is general regret regarding
the unfortunate affair, particularly because of
the possibility of imprisonment.
Manager Phillips is. Indeed, anxious about
the matter, claiming that every player on tbe
team has had every inducement to do right.
He met Miller at Harrisburg on Saturday, and
gave George some sensible advice.
KILRAIN INDIGNANT.

Baltimore, March 7. Kilrain has com
pleted arrangements for his European trip.
He will sail from New York by the White Star
steamer Adriatic Wednesday next. This will
land him In Liverpool in ample time to be pres
ent at tho Smith-Mitchell fight, which comes
off on tbe 23d.

declared that he would give up his trip abroad

weeks.

GETTING DOWN TO WORK.
Countr League Clubs Preparing for Their
Coming Struggle.
The Riverside Greys don't mean to allow
grass to grow beneath. their feet now that they
have been admitted to the County League.
Yesterday they were at Pratt's store in strong
force purchasing a stock of bats, and other
articles necessary to play the national game.
They mean to get down to hard practice at
once, and if they don't open tbe season In good
condition it will not be because of a lack of
work.
The balance of the County League clubs are
one by one getting into working order. There
is undoubtedly a greater enthusiasm among
the local amateurs this year than there has
ever been.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
A German Drug Clerk Frightfully Batch-
cred With a Ilatchot The Store Was
Robbed, bat That Is Not tbe
Truo- Dlotive of the
Atrocious Deed.
New Yokk, March 7. Qanther Wech
rung, 29 years of age, a Gecroan drug clerk,
was struck on the head with an ax early
this morning by an unknown man, who at
tempted to rob the store. Wcchrung's
skull was fractured, and he will die. Wech
rung said he was lying on a lonnge when
the thief entered, and that when he tried to
prevent the robbery the thief drew the ax
from beneath his coat and struck him down.
"Wechrung's hands were almost cut oif in
trying to save his head. His assailant has
not been arrested. The store was -robbed,
but the police believe that this was done to
avert suspicion as to the real motive of the
crime. "Wechrung was not insensible when
discovered,and was removed to the hospital,
where the doctors set to work to try and
bring him to such a state that he would bs
able to tell something of the crime.
The hatchet with which the deed was
done was new. It had an edge five inches
long and a handle a loot long. The edge of
the steel had been tnrned by the force of the
blows upon Wechrung's skull. The drug
store is on the ground floor of a tenement.
The prescription counter, where the murder
occurred, is concealed from the view of cus
tomers in the store, and at its rear a window
overlooks the yard.
The proprietor of the store was sum
moned and the dying clerk placed upon the
lounge, where restoratives were adminis
tered. His senses were not gone, and when
questioned as to how he had received the
cuts answered slowly and painfully. He
had sat down on the lounge, when the boy
lett him, and bent forward to lace his shoes.
"While in that position he received a blow
on the arm, and in attempting to rise was
struck in the head. Instinctively raising
his hand to ward off the blow, the hatchet,
in the grasp of the butcher, again descended,
and the member was nearly severed. The
clerk then lost consciousness.

PBEJUDICED JUDGES
Are tho Obstacles With Which Mr.
Parnell Now Has to Contend.
some Outrageous decisions
Hade to Sustain the' Puerile Evidence
Offered by the Times.
ONE WITNESS PROVED A PEBJDBEE.
Bonlanger's Popularity ana Other Matters Continue
to Trouble France.
The judges of the Parnell Commission
are snowing an evident partiality toward
the Times. One member is rendering him
self particularly obnoxious. The witnesses
examined yesterday were of the Le Caron
stripe, and their testimony was almost ab
surd. The English Government wants
more money for the navy. . Paris continues
in a troubled condition. -
TBT CABLE TO TUB D1SFATCH.3
London, March 7. Copyright Justice
Smith, to whose appointment it will be re
membered the Irish members strongly ob
jected last year, has from the first sitting of
the commission frequently behaved in a
manner which afforded ample justification
for the suspicions entertained of his im
partiality. "
To-day he excelled himself by frequent
displays of temper, rude interruptions of
the defendant's counsel and ostentatious
patronage 'and protection of the rimes'
counsel and witnesses. Both Mr. Bussell
and his colleague, Mr. Lockwood, had sev
eral lively skirmishes with his Lordship,
who, getting the worst of it, took his re
venge by sharply reprimanding Michael
Davitt for a disrespectful allusion to the
present Government
HE LAMENTS PIGOTT.
The general feeling is that Justice Smith
has been much upset by the collapseof
Pigott, for whom, when he was in the wit
ness box, he showed a curious consideration.
It was strange, too, to note with what joy
ous alacrity he concurred in President Han
nen's amazing ruling at tho opening of to
day's proceedings, to the effect that hearsay
evidence was admissible againt the Irish
members. Excepting this ruling and the
Attorney General's announcement that he
is within a measureable distance of the
close of the Times' case, the proceedings
were much more amusing than important.
Coleman, alias Caulfield, who re-entered
the witness box, proved to be an informer
of the type with which we have been made
familiar during tbe last few months.
He talked glibly in his examination of
the outrages planned and carried out by the
Land Leaguers and paid for out of the
League treasury, but, as usual, fell to
pieces in the cross-examination. Six years
ago, in a court of justice, he gave evidence
supposed to cover the same period, the same
persons and the same outrages. He had
forgotten that that evidence was duly en
tered in the official dispositions, which Mr.
Bussell produced to-day with crushing ef
fect. FEIWUBY PEOTED.
The informer had to choose whether he
had committed perjury in 1883 or to-day,
and naturally got into a hopeless tangle.
Like LeCaron, Coleman seems to have made
a pretty good thing out of the informing
business. He was paid liberally and regu
larly by the police, and in 1883, after he had
given the evidence which sent several men
to penal servitude, he was presented by the
grateful Government with 1,000, with
which he went to Canada.
Later in the afternoon Solicitor Soames
was put in the witness box. It seemed
quite like old times and the resemblance
was heightened when he began to talk
about Parnell letters. One Thouas "Walsh
had tried to make a deal with Soames on
the Picott line, and promised to obtain doc
umentary evidence of Parnell's illicit deal
ings in arms. This man produced a letter,
which Soames, amid a big burst of laughter,
naively declared bore Mr. Parnell's un
doubted signature and received 50 on ac
count, with a promise of 500 more, and
then Walsh vanished never to be heard of
more.
The story was a funny one, and the man
ner of its telling was comical in the ex
treme. The Court adjourned until Tues
day, and the Times' case will close before
the end of next week.
THE PANAMA AGITATION.
An Effort Blnde to Secure Government Help
for the Cnnal.
Pabis, March 7. In the Chamber of
Deputies to-day M. Villain urged that the
canal scheme should not be abandoned, and
that a meeting of the shareholders of the
company should be convened for the pur
pose of discussing means for the continua
tion of work on tbe canal. M. Villain said
that if the savings of France were insuffi

That Is About tbe Figure England's New
Navy Will Cost.
London, March 7. In the House to-day
Lord George Hamilton, First Lord of the
Admiralty, stated that the delay to supply
the navy with guns was due to the failure
of the system of lining. All the ships, he
said, would be supplied by the end of the
present year. He stated that the Govern
ment proposed to build eight first-class
men-of-war of 14,000 tons each, and two of
9,000 tons; nine class crnisers, fonr of the
Pandora type of cruisers and 18 of the
sharpshooter type of torpedo vessels. The
total tonnage of all these vessels will be
318,000 and the total cost 21,500,000. '
Lord George Hamilton asked that 10,
000,000 be appropriated from the con
solidated fund for the proposed increase of
the navy, and that the remainder of the
sum required be provided for in the ordi
nary estimates. He promised, that the

The Prohibitory Amendment Causes a Lively
Debate In the Bouse Demo
cratic Amendments Defeated
Raton's Petition.
fFItOMA STAFFCOIlBESPONDBNr.I
Haebisbubo, March 7. The debate to
day on the law to govern the prohibition
election was rendered interesting by the at
tempt of the Democratic Senators, through
Henninger, of Lehigh county, to fasten an
amendment on it providing for the exten
sion of licenses to their natural limit incase
the amendment should be carried. Senator
Henninger, aided by Senator Boss, of
Bucks, explained that the amendment'was
based on the assumption that if the Consti
tutional amendment were carried it would
wipe out the licenses as well as the liquor
laws.
The interesting features of the debate were
the admission of Senator Cooper that he
would like to submit the .high license ques
tion along with the prohibition question,
and the assertion of Senator Butan that if
the sale of liquor was immediately abol
ished the penalties against selling liquor
without a license would remain in force.
This was in answer to a declaration of "Sen
ator Boss that the passage of the amend
ment by abolishing liquor laws and licenses
and providing no penalties to enforce the
amendment, would produce anarchy. .
Senator Green, of Berks, controverted
Senator Butan's position by pointing out
that the submission resolution provided
that the amendment was to be carried pro
vided that penalties were to be provided in
the future. Senator Boss also held that the
penalties to which Senator Butan referred
were Siamese twins with the license laws
and fell with them.
Senator Newmyer pointed out that the
amendment proposed to the election bill by
tbe Democrats brought two subjects nnder
one title, and would render the' bill uncon
stitutional. After a great deal of talk the
bill passed finally as amended by Senator
Cooper last night to cover the" poll tax
amendment The House to-night concurred
in thii, and Captain Dravo proposed some
amendments correcting clerical errors, which
rendered it necessary ior the bill to go over.

Habkisbubg, March 7. The committee
to investigate, at his own request, the rumor
that Chairman Andrews had handled money
to defeat'the dressed beef bill, met to-night
and examined a number of newspaper cor
respondents, with the result that the only
thing developed was that there had been ru
mors which no one could trace to any re
sponsible source. Representative Brown,
of Lawrence, was called and stated that the
resolntion he had intended to introduce was
framed because of a desire to vindicate him
self, with others who had voted their hon
est convictions in. opposition to the measure.
He had not been offered money and knew
of no one who had been. The only remark
able part of the proceedings to-night was
the refusal of Mr. Dohoney, Managing Edi
tor of tbe Patriot, to tell who he had heard
talking about the matter.
