K AKOTHEE ENGLISH CHAMPION COMING.
There has been nothing startling in the
baseball world this week. The Eastern
clubs hare come West, and with the excep
tion of "Washington hare done welL So far
this season the Eastern people have had a
little the best of it. One of this number is
firsi and two others third and fourth. It
seems safe to say that the three clubs referred
to will keep near the top until the end of
the season. During the last few days Pitts
burgers have had a chance to sec the great
Bostons. I hare watched their playing
with considerable interest and I am free to
say that the team is a great one; probably
Boston never had a better one than at
present. The players are all good ones,
both in fielding and batting, and without
doubt they are up to championship form,
But the very fact that Boston is such an
unusually strong team proves that
we have at Pittsburg a team
of the first-class order. This
can be proven by comparison, for during this
week tbe borne team has shown as good form
as tbe Boston. Of course, Boston bas been on
an average considerably stronger, but at times
the local players hare played just as well as
Boston can play. In Thursday's game, for in
stance, bad tbe element called luck not been
entirely on tbe side of the big people tbe home
players would have won. However, I don't for
a moment suppose that Pittsburg will finish
ahead of Boston, but I am not by any means
certain of Boston's keeping in tbe ran until the
end of thfracc There is one feature, how
ever, in tbe Boston team that is worth notice
ing, viz thi good supply of pitchers. Clark
son, Radbourne, Madden andSowders are arery
powerful quartet.
About Those Babies.
I had a conversation with Dan Broutbers tbe
other day about tbe Cleveland club. Like the
majority of baseball people San couldn't well
explain why tbe "Spiders" have been so phe
nomenally successful. He said: "They puzzle
me, and I really cannot account for tbeir vic
tories. Oh, no, they are not as good as the
Bostons by any means. We can outbat them
at any stage, ar.d they cannot steal bases on
Bennett and GanzeL However, the Cleveland
team is a good one, but there are better gen
eral teams in tbe League." Ed Hanlon was
also a listener to tbe remarks of Brouthers,
and he caid that Cleveland's success was
in its batteries. "That man O'Brien," said
Hanlon, "is one of the nerviest fellows
I have ever seen. Nothing but bis nerve has
made him so successful. I remember that tbe
first time I faced him two strikes and three
balls were called and yet he pitched a slow
ball to mo. I was never expecting such a
thing, thinking that as a stranger in tbe League
be would not give any chances for a while.
However, I said then that O'Brien would make
a mark in the League." I share the opinion of
Hanlon, when he says that Cleveland's success
is in its batteries. There are many young
pitchers in tbe team, ana they are eager to out
pitch each other. This conditiau of things will
v. not last, however, and when the measure of
these pitchers is taken tbe club w ill fall j ust as
rapidly as it went up.
The Brotherhood's Demands.
The Player's Brotherhood and the League
are getting closer together, and before many
days we may expect these two bodies to meet.
In response to a request from the players
President Young bas appointed a committee to
meet the Brotherhood. This committee con
sists ol Messrs. Bay, Rogers and Spalding.
The meeting may take place in this city when
the New Yorks are here. So far, however, the
demands of the players have not been definite
ly stated. It seems that tbey have only made
ageneial statement regarding the classifica
tion rule and the reserve rule. Of course, we
all know that the players are strongly opposed
to both the graded salary plan and tbe
reserve rule. These two questions will, doubt
less, be thoroughly discussod at the proposed
conference between tbe League and the play
ers, and while the magnates may be disposed to
xnodifv or change the present classification
rule, it seems safe to predict that the reserve
rule will stand. From a sentimental standpoint
tbe reserve rule looks extremely oppressive and
tyrannical, bnt in reality it is not so bad as it
looks. Certainly wben it is compared to tbe
Iirinciples of slavery tbe players hare the pub
ic sympathy, bnt the comparison is not alto
gether a true one. I would like to know how
tbe League and Association would get along
without a reserve rule, and this is the proper
business way of looking at tbe matter. We can
all find faults and flaws in almost any rule, but
it is not so easy to make an improvement on
that which we condemn. This seems to be the
case with the reserve rule; at any rate it seems
that to abolish this rule would mean the col
lapse of the League. There are many things in
lite that are not comfortable, but circumstances
compel us to tolerate them until we can replace
them with something better. So it is with tbe
reserve rule, and until tbe players can sugge
something that will take its place and accom
plish the objects it bas in riew they ought
never to think of abolishing it.
Dividing tbe Receipt.
President J. B. Day's idea of all the League
clubs equally dividing the receipts seems to
bare met with universal faror among the
players, but whether or not Mr. Day made the
suggestion in good faith remains to be seen.
However, John M. Ward, Ed Hanlon and
other prominent players are advocating tbe
plan for all there is in It Two or three days
ago Hanlon expressed himself to me to tbe
effect that he believed an equal division of re
ceipts would cure all tbe evils complained of
by tbe players and magnates. This certainly
is a very hopeful view of it, and if the plan
could accomplish what Mr. Hanlon
claims it would, the sooner it is
put into operation tbe better. But
I question very much that it will be as great a
boon as promised. Of course it won a cause
one club to think more about another than at
present, but it would also tend to kill compe
tition. There is an old socialistic principle
underlying the proposed plan; that principle is
the equal division of tbe returns of combined
effort. This principle always ha-snd always
will to a great extent destroy tbe spirit of self
dependence. However, it is not likely that the
plan will ever be adopted. I venture to say
that even Mr. Day will not be disposed to try
it.
The Youne Locnl Plicben.
There Is a general desire to know what is to
be done with the three young pitchers recently
signed by the home club. So far tbey have not
been tried on tbe local grounds yet, and we
may expect to see them .in tbe box this week.
It is not to be expected that all three will be
retained. Altogether the club has eight pitchers
under contract and it is certain that no club
will carry that number. However, the ques
tion who will be dispensed with? Iasked a local
official that question the other day and ho gave
me to understand that nothing definite is
known about the matter. The Washington
team will be here this week and very likely one
or two of the young men will be tried. At any
rate if Morris retains tbe form be showed on
Thursday tbere will be little use for the young
sters. Aiorrls really did well, and the players
and the public wero extremely glad of it. , If
Conway could regain his old form the local
club would soon make its way toward the top.
Tbe season is not far gone yet, and witb lour
good pitchers tbe club would make up lost
ground very rapidly.
The League Umpire.
It If a long time since the League was so
i poorly supplied witb umpires as at present, and
lor this the League is entirely to blame. Ac
cording to tbe general opinion of the players
and managers tbere is not a first-class umpire
V, on tbe staff. Lynch is now deemed the best
man in mo tot, ana mat says very jitne lor tbe
quality of the others. Baroum is a failnre
and Curry is dailv in trouble. Fessen
den's work in this, city this week was
verv bad, indeed. On Thursday bU
decisions un'balls and strikes were of the rank
est kind. Altogether, a very great change is
needed, and tbe better it will be for the League
and the public If President Young would get a
new staff. There are plenty of good men in tbe
country, aDd if good salaries are offered these
men can be secured. An organization like tbe
League certainly ought to lie iua position to
have the very best umpires in tbe country.
9 W
Association Troubles.
The American Association is having its share
of troublo at present, and when they will end
does not by any means seem clear. The great
est difficulty is the Louisville club, and no one
seems to know what is to become of that team.
Certainly a more mismanaged club never was
heard tell of, and the Association would be
perfectly justified m taking the club from
President Davidson by hook or by crook. Tbe
wretched condition to which the club has fallen
is one more proof that a team is not so easy to
manage as some people imagine. Mr. David
son has evidently not been born to be a base
ball club manager. His forte is certainly not
in that direction, and a more miserable failnre
would be hard to find. The Louisville affair
may eventually result in the franchise of that
citv being transferred to another city.
The Cricket Clnb Sporu.
The annual field sports of the Pittsburg
Cricket Club will take place on Saturday next
at Brnshton. The programme is an exceedingly
attractive one, and it the weather is fine the
events will be w ell worth seeing. The contests
underlined are of vinous Kinds, and the con
testants will be numerous. The cricket club
deserves all the patronage that the public can
give it. The gentlemen who compose tbe club
aro all in the business entirely for the love of
it Their annual outlay is big. and so far they
have admirably upneld the name of Pittsburg
among the cricketers of the country. 1 under
stand tbat the club is preparing for a busy
reason, and it is to be hoped that their sports
on Saturday will be successful.
Some Novel Contend.
Duncan C. Ross, the all round athlete, paid
me a visit the other day. Ross is now almost
one of tbe old timers. It is many years since I
first saw him perform publicly. He has had a
remarkable career, and probably a better all
round athlete was never in this country. When
I say this I am mindful of the existence of
Donald Dennie, but I have always maintained
that Ross was a much superior all round man
than ever Dennie was. Well, what I want to
say is that Ross has arranged to take part in a
mounted sword content at Exposition Park on
July i. His opponent w ill be Sergeant Walsh.
As far as I am aware there has been no such
contest here before and the novelty of it to
gether with the highly exciting features of the
combat is sure tc draw a very large crowd.
There is also to be a mounted wrestling contest
open to the world, beside trotting and running
races.
Among tbe Pugilists.
During the last few days a whole batch of
letters have been received at this office from
correspondents wanting to know abont Sulli
van and Kilrain, Dempsey and LaBlanche, etc
Judging from tbe letters referred to, there must
be a greater public interest in pugilistic affairs
than Is generally believed. Howerer, whjle we
are always glad to answer all questions, or
give any information in our power, it is some
times impossible to publish letters sent or to
give answers required. One correspondent
from Wheeling asks who, in my estimation.was
the best middle-weight fighter in tbe world.
Tbe question, from a pugilistic point of riew,
is an interesting and not very easy one to de
cide. My opinion, of course, may not be shared
by others who are as well able to judge
as I am. However, I have always held
tbe opinion tbat Jem Mace was the best
middle-weight that ever lived. I am aware that
a very high authority claims that Tom Belcher
was bis equal and probably his superior in box
ing. True it is tbat Belcher defeated some
verv good men and was only beaten once him
self, but be was not defeated on his merits.
Still I am inclined to the opinion that Mace
should be awarded the palm. Taking Mace as
the standard we do not seem to have a first
class middle-weight to-day. Ho w long would a
man like tbe "Marine" have stood up against
Mace when the latter was at bis best? The
Marine would soon bave been blinded and
knocked out Yet it took Dempsey a consider
able time to finish tbe Marine. By this mode of
reasoning it seems that Dempsey is not first
class bv anv means. At anv rate Mace, in his
best day, was far superior to any middle-weight
now livinc. Amid all the new methods of box
ing that havo sprang up lately Mace's style has
not been improved on and 1 don't think it will,
The BIc Battle.
It seems strange, but It is nevertheless true
that a week cannot go by except reports being
circulated to -the effect that Sullivan is on
"another drunk." Why these rumors are
spread so regularly and so extensively I don't
know, but tbey are not true, at least I don't
think tbey are. I am informed that John L. is
all right and that be is fully determined to face
Knrain. hetber that meeting will ever take
place or not I cannot tell, but it looks as if both
principals desire to fight Dempsey has re-
lusea to secona ouuivan ana x ininK mat tnis
is better for Sullivan. I don't know of any
particularly good qualities Dempsey has as a
second. He has bad no opportunity to
learn as far as big fights are concerned
and beyond all a second should
be a man of great experience. Very often the
second is just as important in determining tbe
result of a battle as tbe principal. Prize ring
trickery is very prolific, and it takes the old
'uns like Barnett and McDonald to know any
thing like all of it There are plenty of good
and experienced men in the country better
able to look after Sullivan than Dempsey is.
Tbere has been considerable betting on the
proposed battle, the odds being in favor of
Kilrain at one place and in faror of Sullivan at
another. I wouldn't like to bet odds on either
man just now, but I won't be surprised if
Kilrain is a rery strong farorite. Taking
everything into consideration ho ought to be.
If the battle is going to take place the princi
pals won't be long in starting for New Orleans.
When tbey start excitement will become gen
eral and then betting will be lively, indeed. I
really expect to see some heavy betting on the
affair.
The Light Weights.
It looks as if we were determined to not have
another light between Jem Carney and McAu
llffe or Meyer. Tbe first named bas stated defi
nitely that he won't come here to fight
anybody, and the lightweights here re
fuse to cross the Atlantic to meet Carney
on the other side. This is a pity because
nothing would be or greater Interest than a good
encounter between ilcAullffe and Carnev. The
strangest feature, bow ever. Is the fact that while
McAullffe will go to Encland and box Carney a
limited number of rounds he -won't go and fight
him to a finish. Hot 1 don't know what prompts
Meyer to challenge Carney, Meyer has not pro en
yet tnat he is in the same class as Carney, and the
best thing for Meyer to do is to prove that be Is a
better man than McAulltte before he tackles
higher game. ,
Dempvcy unci La Blanche.
There Is one thing that has characterized Jack
Dempsey during bis pugilistic career more than
anything else; that is. his carefulness In getting
Into condition. It Is true that he was neglectful
In this respect wj len be met Donovan, but gener
ally speaking be. is a very carelul and painstaking
young fillow. "Well, he is training very carefully
for his proposed battle with La Blanche, and I
think thatbe will need all the good training that
he can get J.'ick Halllban arrived from 'Frisco
the other day, and lie states that Dempsey Is &
trifle worse than he was when he met the Marine
before. This may and 11 may not be true, but lr It
Is true I still think that Dempsey will
not have -a very bard task In 'settling the
Marine. Tbe latter Is plucky and can stand
any amount, of punishment bnt he Is too short In
the arms to give much to Dempsey. The latter is
anxious to win and he has all the best of the con
test to start with because he is facing a man whom
he has beiiten before. But if Dempsey Is not the
man he was what about the Mariner He, too. has
been Uvl ng a fast life during recent years, and his
roamlngs around cannot bave Improved him phvs
lcallv by anv means. However, the battle will be
an iuterestlngoncandwhen more lslcarned about
the condition or the principals I may have a few
more opinions to offer.

A Coming Champion.
It may be that before this year ends we will bave
Ted Prftchard and Jem Smith here. The former
is tbe phenomenal young man who has been
knocking everybody out In England. He is a
cleiver voung fellow, without doubt, but whether
or not be will hold bis own here remains to be
seen. Ko doubt be can get plenty of backing to
Tight Dempsey, and If be comes to this country the
first thing be will do, I think, will be to throw
down the gauntlet to the Nonpareil. Smith has
been Intending to visit America a long time, and
doubtless, if he comes here, he will gather In quite a
pileordollars. It is some time since be did any
thing and It may be that he needs an engagement
or two. It may be taken for crantcd that bmlth
win challenge the winner or the Bmitti-Kllraln
fight, lrit comes off. and If he does it Is reasonable
to expect that It will tike place In this country
And there Is Jackson: be, too, will want to fight
the winner, and by that time Slavln will be here
wanting to light anybody at all. It therefore,
seems as If there will be a bnsy fall among the
Sngllists. At any rate, lr Sullivan and Kilrain
ght there will be several other battles of equal
linportauce, and the object of all. of course, will
be to get at tbe champion, whoever he may be.

CHICAGO BEATS THE QUAKER TEAM
To say the least of it there is an irritating
toughness in being downed twice on the
same day in two baseball contests'. To be
snuffed ont to that extent was the lot of the
home talent yesterday in their two games
against Boston at Recreation Park. Two
games were played and two discouraging and
chilling defeats were marked up against the
home fellows.
The two games were tbe result of tbe rain on
Friday. Tbe price of admission was to the
effect that anybody who wanted to see one
game for 50 cents could see two for the same
price. There were more tban 5,000 people pres
ent when the first game began, and the crowd
seemed to be one of those crowds made up of
people who are always glad to see each other.
At any rate tbere were lots of bandrubblng
and handshaking, and everybody seemed to
think it a blessing to be on a ball ground on
such a day.
The game started, that Is the first game, "and
long before it finished, enthusiasts, not only in
expensive boxes, but also in dead-head boxes
said that several of tbe Boston team were men
devoid of generosity and were even prone to
trickery. The contest went on, and indeed, it
was a contestand the vanquished in that strug
gle probably deserve, strange to say. as much
praise as those who were presented with the
games. Morris was in the box yesterday and
he was there also on Thursday. He did well
on Thursday but goodness knows Sir Edward
was in line yesterday. The tall stout
and cold fact remains that anybody who
can prevent the Bostons from scoring in nine
innings is what the First ward authontes will
call a dandy. Morris did that yesterday, and
the public can depend upon it tbat Edward bad
no picnic in fooling people like big Dan
Broutbers, Richardson, Kelly, etc These men
and their colleagues are all very shrewd men
with a bat in their bands when at a diamond
plate. Morris, howerer, settled them all until
the tenth inning, when the fatal swipe came
and the battle was lost and won.
A pitchers' battle, as a rule, is not worth
much because of its tediousness, but yester
day's conflict in the first game was an invigor
ating treat It seems safe to say tbat Clarkson
never pitched better since he was born, and
certainly Morris was out to wrestle with any
problem that might question his art or bis
strength. Morns pitched just as housed to do
and as a result the great Boston people couldn't
hit him. On the other hand, Clarkson got
down to work, and be is quite an Impressive
man in the box. He was just as good as Morris
for nine Innings, and wben the ninth inning
closed neither side had scored a run. OhI but
the suspense was awful, tbe suspense was pain
ful, and the hopes and fears of tbe crowds
seemed to move everybody.
The tenth inning came, however, and that
very remote and generally not anticipated part
of a game was tbere and tbe visitors scored
that score which meant glory to them and de
feat to our heroes, who bad fought so long and
well. That young man Quinn was chiefly re
sponsible for that fatal run. He led off with a
double and got to third on Bennett's out at
first Then John Clarkson loomed up and really
surprised everybody by making a hit, and Quinn
got home. Fessenden s work as umpire was
rerv seedy, indeed. '
The second game was almost as exciting as
the first Old Galvin and Sowders were the
twirlers, and "Jeems'' particularly did well.
The visitors, as fortune wonldhave it, led off in
tbe first Inning with two runs. That seemed to
dampen all enthusiasm and quell all good fel
lowship. Brown got his base on balls and John
ston flew out to Fields. Then Kelly thumped
ont a two-bagger, and Brown landed home.
Broutbers was retired at first but a single by
Richardson brought Kelly in. Nash got his
base on balls, but Quinn was retired at first.
It was the seventh inning when the visitors
made their second break in run-getting. Gan
zel led off with a bit and Sowders was out at
first Brown made a hit and an error sent
Sowders tome and Johnston to first Kelly's
second two-bagger brought Johnston home and
tbat ended all run-getting. -
The borne plavers made a run in the second.
After Maul was'out Sunday made a double and
scored on Dunlap's single. Kuebne made a
bit but tbe next two men went out in order.
In tbe fifth inning, after Maul was out Sunday
made another corking two-bagger. Then Dun
laD made a hit and Sundav scored. Tbe next
two men, however, ended tbe argument by
foing out at first No more scores were made,
essenden's work was again wretched, and may
justly be termed rotten. Score:

MR. BRUSH'S YIEWS.
The Hoosier President Talks Abgut
Brotherhood Demands.
THERE WILL BE LITTLE CHANGE.
Some Interesting Gossip- From tbe Spiders
and Cleveland
NEWS FK0M IEAGDB HEADQUARTERS.
Indianapolis, June 22. The recent
action of the Brotherhood of Baseball
Players in making certain demands relative
to the classification system and other alleged
hardships, has caused some speculation here,
and tbe matter' has been discussed in its
different phases by nearly everybody inter
ested in tbe future of tbe game. I find,
however, that those who appear to be well
posted do not anticipate any serious trouble.
President Brush left suddenly for Chicago
last Saturday, and was gone for several
days, and the belief obtained that he had
made it a point to see Spalding in regard to
tbe matter, but wben I met him to-day and
asked for his views be assured me that be did
not see Spalding at all, and was entirely tree
from fear as to tbe ultimate outcome of the
threatened strike. Mr. Brush says tbat
he tblnKs tbe players will do nothing
rash, but supplemented this statement with
the additional one that If tbe League was to
have any difficulty with tbe players it might
just as well come now as any time. "For my
part," he said, "1 am ready for it now." The
players have no real grievance and I fail to see
what they will gain by the move just made.
Knowing that the official head of the Hooslers
had received one of tbe Brotherhood circulars
from President Young, with a request for a re
ply, I made quite a persistent effort to extract
some information from him relative to tbat
matter, but it was a failure. Mr. Brush, it
should be understood, is about the last
man in tbe business to discuss affairs
of this character. He said, in
substance, that he had answered President
Young's communication, but declined to tell
what view be had taKon of the subject. Ashe
regarded the circular as private and confiden
tial, Mr. Brush felt tbat be bad no right to make
public his reply, for tho reason that by so doing
he would to a certain extent give publicity to
the circular itself. He stated, however, tbat
he cannot see what the committee appointed
by Mr. Young can accomplish, and did not
know when or where it will meet. He ad
mitted that the Brotherhood circular made no
specific demands and was as a whole rather
vague and indefinite.
Mr. Brush said tbat so far as the classifica
tion plan is concerned that cannot and w ill not
be changed In any manner by this committee.
It is one of the League laws and a part of the
constitution and nobody other than tho League
itself can annul or'alter it. As all other League
laws are subject to revision only by a two
thirds Vote at some regular meeting or annani
nious vote by mail. In view of this fact Mr.
Brush is of the opinion that tbe committee ap
pointed to meet tbe committee from tbe
Brotherhood bas no power to do anytbingother
than agree to recommend certain legislation to
tbe League to be acted upon at the proper
time. It takes no great ability to bo able to
see that Mr. Brnsh is still in favor of tbe classi
fication system and means to stand by
it in spite of fate. From his talk
too, I very clearly understand that he feels se
cure in his position for tbe reason that several
otber members of the League are with him.
In fact, when I asked him how many favored
the plan he very promptly replied, "seven."
He admits that the system is not perfect and
may undergo some modifications, but seems
confident that with a few changes will be con
tinued as a law of tbe League and special pains
will be taken to see tnat it is oueyeu. air.
Brush says that tbe time has passed wben one,
two or even three members of the League can
disregard the laws of tbat body simply to ad
vance tbeir own interests, taking no account of
tbe Injury such violation may work to others.
There Is too much money invested in baseball
to permit such jncgling and it will not be al
lowed. I rather think tbat the Hoosier Presi
dent feels tbat Mr. Bay, of New York, bas no
right to openly qppose and try to discredit the
system. He very sensibly argues tbat so long
as it is a law it should be respected and obeyed.
If. however, at the proner time, a majority de
cides tbat the system is not a good one It ought
to be repealed. Until that is done,
Mr. Brush maintains, no one has a
right to violate it. It is my opinion, based
upon a few facts recently obtained, tbat there
is even at this time a concerted movement
among a majority of the clubs to modify and
readopt, at the next annual meeting, tbe sys
tem of classification now in vogue, and bring
every player in the country within the ran e ot
its provisions. Tbere will be no exceptions.
Mr. Keefe, Mr. Kelly, Mr. Connor.Mr. Ward
and all otbers will stand on the same ground.
Mr. Ward argues that if Indianapolis, Pitts
burg, Cleveland and. Washington cannot pay
salaries demanded tbey ought to get out
of the League. On tbe otber hand
it can be argncd tbat if Mr. Ward and those or
bis class tbink they cannot afford to play ball
for tbe salaries fixed by the classifier let them
get out. Tbey do not have to nlay ball if it
is against their best interests. Tbe country is
full of rising young ball players. It seems
rather a singular business proposition that tbe
League cannot say what tbe salary limit will
be. Time will teli and we shall see what we
shall see in thesweet by and by.
The Hooslers havo braced up, and just at
present are playing great ball. The pitchers
have settled down and Getzeln and Boyle es
specially bare been doing good work. Tbe
team is batting heavily, and tbe fielding has
been above the average. A. G. Ovens.
FROM HEAP QUARTERS.
President Yonoa's Letter That He Sent to
the Clabs.
Washington, June 22. Up to the present
writing there has been considerable curiosity
expressed as to the text of tbe communication
which the Brotherhood addressed to tbe Presi
dent of the League several weeks ago. Presi
dent Young declined to make any statement on
the subject until the substance of communica
tion was given out elsewhere.
Tbe following is tbe text of the letter which
Mr. Young sent to tbe members of his League:
"I am in receipt of a communication from a
committee of the Ball Players' Brotherhood, of
which tbe following is a copy: At a meeting of
tbe League and the Brotherhood committees in
1SS7, the former agreed for tbe League tbat
players should not be reserved at a reduction of
salary. In pursuance of this agreement the new
contract was made to read that tbe players
could not be reserved at a salary less than that
mentioned in par. 20 of the contract, the under
standing being that the full salary would be in
serted. This last, the League afterward claimed
to be unable to do, because, of the refusal of the
American Association to agreo to the repeal of
the absolute $2,000 limit rule; but this new rule
could not have interfered in any way witb its
fulfillment of tho agreement itself not to re
serve at a reduction of salary.
"In the application of the classification
scheme, tbe League has violated its promise by
holding men at a reduced salary. At the an
nual meeting of tbe representative body of tho
Brotherhood, it was resolved to insist upon a
fulfillment by the League of Its agreement,
and to respectfully, but firmly, ask tbat justice
be done in tbe cases of those members who
have been injured by this default" The com
mittee also protests against "the evils of the
sales system."
"1 respectfully beg leave to recommend that
a committee of three be appointed, to whom
shall be refet red for consiueration all griev
ances of League players not specially provided
for by the League Constitution. An early re
ply will oDlige. Yours, very truly,
N. K YotTNG.
President.
As Is well known, a favorable reply was
promptly sent In by all tbe League magnates,
and Messrs. Day, Rogers and Spalding were
selected to handle these subjects in behalf of
the League. B. M. Lasneb.
FROM THE BABIES.
Thursday's Great Gnme nt Cleveland 91c
Alcer'a Remarkable Work.
Cleveland, O., June 22. Tbe wonderful
exhibition given Thursday by the New Yorks
and the home club bas warmed the blood of
the old-timers to fever beat. Tbe equal of tbe
game has never been played in the town.
Again and again the New Yorks were denrived
of runs by almost miraculous fielding, and on
tbe otber band tbe Clevelands were disposed of
with equally brilliant plays. Tbe result of.the
game has been shown In tbe different conduct
ot those who have been1 continuously sneering
at the club's success. They arc no longer at
tributing it to luck, but are glad to acknowl
edge It is the result of good playing. The Gi
ant Killers set the pace, in Thursday's game,
and in spite ot the fact tbat It was swift and
rapid, the Giants came to it nobly and dnolb
cated science witb science, skill with skill and
brilliancy with brilliancy.
McAIeer during the week bas tied Jimmy
Fogarty's phenomenal record of ten chances in
one game, and now "Me" is waiting tbe oppor
tunity to go Jimmy one better. It was In Wed
nesday's game tbat McAleermade his phenom
enal record. Four of bis catches were simply
wonderful. He ran like a deer for balls over
his bead and balls away in front of bim, and
got everything tbat came his way and otber
ways, too.
I was talking with Crane during one of the
games, and he told me tbat he thought Cleve
land's outfield, taken as a whole, surpassed
anything In the League.
The home people take very kindly to Ewlng's
men, but they are dead sore on Anson and bis
team. Of course, the Saturday exhibition in
which Anson made such a blooming idiot of
himself is responsible for all tbe row. We
bave had enough American Association ball in
this town to know just what a good, thorough,
iron-bound kick is like, but in tbe palmiest
days of the "ornoriest" tribe of kickers no one
ever saw anything to equal this exhibition of
Anson's. The "grand old man" disgraced him
self, the game and the Chicago team, and I, for
one, believe Anson thoroughly knew it and was
ashamed of it afternard in spite of his
braggadocio and bluster. Then tho Chl
cagos baa the sublime cheek to nowi
Association ball at our people, when every one
of tneir infield except Pfefler was resorting to
every manner of trick to bold base runners and
prevent Cleveland men from scoring. Even
Anson himself was gnilty of blocking Paul
Radford at first. The Chicago papers bave bad
a great deal to sav about the intense rivalry
that will now exist between Cbicago and tbe
Garden City club. Well, let her rival. We al
ways could bold our end up with Cbicatto. and
might just as well light for a good place over
the necks of tbe Colts as well as any one else.
Tbe Pittsburg club, I am bound to say. Is
playing In very hard Inck. They did excel
lently here, except in the game in which
Morris pitched. Whether Morris was in old
time form or not, or whether tbe wet ball af
fected bim. it is a fact that he was hammered
unmercifully. Horace Phillips did pretty well
here financially, and would hare done better
bad tho weather not been against bim. Pitts
burg will always be well receired here, and
they deserve it. John B. Foster.

teenth Regiment, bas been in the city during
the' past week on business of a private nature.
Ho states tbat his regimeut bas not yet deter

Sixteen commissions were issued through
out the State during the months of April and
May. Among them was tbat of Captain James
Muldoon, of Company E, First Regiment,.wbo
ranks as Captain from 1869, and is consequently
senior in the division.
A soldier in the Austrian army was recent
ly killed by a bullet from a Molicher rifle at a
distance of 2 miles, while at target practice.
Tbe Springfield rifle in use. in tbe United States
can be sighted for 2,000 yards' practice, but will
carry 1,006 yards further.
A picked team from the best shots in tbe
National Guard of Massachusetts sailed for
England last 'Wednesday. Entries will be
made for all tbe crack contests abroad, and as
the team bas some very fine material in it.somo
good reports may bo expected.
Colonel Norman M. Smith paid a flying
visit home yesterday, aft or an absence of nearly
four weeks In Jobnstown. Colonal Smith has
had cbarge of the supplies of the Pennsylvania
Railroad in reconstructing tbe tracks, and will
go back to-morrow to finish up tbe work.
Lieutenants Charles A. Mat, of Com
pany F, and Frederick W. Milley, of Company
D, Eighteenth Regiment, are discharged by
reason of resignation. Special orders also
grant Captain Alfred E. Hunt, of Battery B,
leave of absence for tour months, and Lieu
tenant J. R. Treacy leave for 60 days.
Captain John P. Penny, W. H. Davis
and several other officers of tbe Eighteenth
took a short trip np to Brownsville and vicinity
last night, to remain until this evening. While
f;one they will look out for a site for the com
ng encampment of tbe regiment, as tbat
vicinity has about been decided upon.
Battery B is making active preperations for
tbe coming encampment, and as they will be
brought in comparison with the other two bat
teries of the State at the consolidated camp at
Mt. Gretna, the boys are Influenced to make
tbe best showing possible. Lieutenant Shep
herd will be in command, as Captain Hunt is
not expected back from .Europe until the last
of August.
Colonel Thos. Watt, of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, has been acting as Quartermaster of
the Fourteenth Regiment during the past?
week. Lieutenant Patterson having been re
lieved for the time being. Tbe Colonel is an
old timer at the business, having bad consider
able experience of tbo kind during the un
pleasantness of '61 to '60, and consequently is
filling the bill in great shape.
A New cap for field officers Is proposed
from ideas suggested by Colonel Heyl, Inspec
tor General in the regular army. It is across be
tween tbe German and Russian caps, and dif
fers from the present foraee cap In tbe size
and shape of ne visor, which is designed to
afford better protection to the eyes, and In tbe
crown, which is soft and rather large. It is de
signed for comfort rather than beauty, and
will probably be adopted in tbe regular ser
vice. Colonel Perchment, of the Fourteenth,
has asked permission of the Adjutant General
to forego the coming summer encampment
owing to tbe extra tour of duty required of tbe
regiment at Jobnstown. The members of the
Fourteenth, both officers and men, are thor
oughly sick of Johnstown and military matters
in general owing to the manner in which they
have been worked and fed durlngthe past three
weeks. Colonel Perchment's request will prob
ably be granted.
Lieutenant Charles H. Harlow, United
States Navy, wbo has been stationed in this
city during the past winter as steel inspector,
leads one of Allegheny's most charming young
ladies to the altar next Tuesdav. After a short
wedding tour Mr. Harlow will reside in i
Annapolis, wnere no win act at instructor ol
gunnery at tho academy. Lieutenant W. H.
Burdick and Lieutenant L. K. Lansdale, both
naval officers, have arrived in tbe city to act as
groomsmen to Mr. .uariow.
Lieutenant R. C Patterson, Quarter
master ot tbe Fourteenth Regiment, placed
bis resignation in the bands of Colonel Perch
ment last week. Lieutenant Patterson has
been connected with tbe Fourteenth off and on
since 1874, and served as Quartermaster under
Colonel Glenn. The reasons assigned by Mr.
Patterson for tendering bis resignation is that
Srivate business compels bim to take this step,
ut from outside sources it Is learned tbat there
1ms been a slight disagreement between Colonel
Perchment and some of his officers for some
time past, and tbat the above resignation mav
be followed by others. Wbo tho successor of
Mf. Patterson will be is not yet known. The in
dications, however, point to Mr. Thomas Watt.
General order No. 7, from the Adjutant
General's office, has been issued relative to tbe
summer encampments. As has been generally
understood for some time, they will be held by
regiments, the commandant of each organiza
tion being allowed to select the location. A
consolidated camp of the cavalry and artillery
will probably be ordered for Mt. Gretna. Com
mutation for rations and fuel will be allowed
at tbe rate of 20 cents per day per man for eight
days; all other expenses other than those for
transportation, rations and fuel to be borne by
the several resinients. In tbose camps wbere
tbo entire command are provided with white
helmets, they will be permitted to wear them
on all duties except at tbe inspection of tbo
Adjutant General. No enlistments, excepting
re-enlistments, will be made for 30 days pre
vious to tbo close of the several encampments,
and all enlistments of men who bave been en
listed since last camp will be forwarded at once.

Puerto Cortez, Spanish Bondueas
Central America, June 1. This is the
chief port of entry to the Eepablic and the
beginning of that imposing line of railway
tbat stretches its. black length clear across
tbe State to the Pacific on the map but
which in reality extends just 37 miles from
the coast to San Pedro where travelers
must take to mules or continue this journey
on foot I this evening witnessed the most
notable event of the season, the successful
trial of an American locomotive on this
bit of road.
It was not exactly a new engine, but had
been made to look quite respectable by paint
and polish, and presented a striking con
trast to the old, stackless and worn-out ma
chine that has been doing service for the
past 20 years, and wben the new acquisition
came (earing along at the rate of 12 miles an
hour the enthusiasm knew no bounds. The
superintendent and sub-officers, witb all the
local great men seated in the tender, waved
their hats, bowed and smiled, and the crowd
answered with deafening cheers.
After making three trips from the Custom
House to the "lagoon," a distance of abont
three miles, the test was decided to be favor
able and the machine accepted, and every
body drank to the road and its management,
the Government, as a whole, to the Presi
dent and Cabinet, individually and collect
ively, to the United States and her repre
sentatives, to everybody and anybody, and
the joy was universal. The general rejoic
ing will not be wondered at when it is stated
that the trip from this point to San. Pedro
has, up to this time, taken from 20 to 30
hours.
' biding on the rail.
It seems incredible, but it is a fact, with
the new locomotive it is expected to rednce
the time to five hoursl The principal indus
try here is banana culture, and there arc
shipped every week about 40,000.bunches,
at an'average rate ot 6 reals, or 75 cents of
this money, equal to about 50 cents of
United States currency. I am told by men
who have experience in this branch ot fruit
culture tbat $150 per acre is not an unnsual
profit, and tbat this sum is often exceeded.
The soil and climate are perfectly
adapted to this fruit, the labor of clearing
the ground being tbe largest item of ex
pense, yet very few natives are fonnd engaged
in this business, the whole being controlled
by foreigners. The residents are satisfied to
work two or three days out of a week for
6 or 8 reals, with which "they can procure
a bottle of rum, a little corn for tortillas
which, with frijoles, constitute their whole
living.
Clothing is hardly worth mentioning in
their bill of expense, as it consists, with the
men, of a pair of cotton drawers and shirt.
All are barefoot. Ladies dress little better,
tbeir usual costume consisting of a calico
gown, sleeveless and short skirted, with a
bright colored shawl to wrap about the
head when ont shopping. Like the men,
they wear no shoes' and smoke constantly.
PBIMATIVE SIMPLICITY.
Children wear nothing, but may be seen
running aranud at all times, with cigarettes
between their teeth. They are taught to
smoke as soon as they can sitnp. Of course
it will be understood I refer to the laboring
classes. The merchants and their families
and Government officials dress as well fas
the same classes in the States, and are, with
out exception, obliging and the very em
bodiment ot politeness.
That the country offers great inducements
to enterprising Americans, cannot be
doubted. Probably no territory of similar
extent on the globe contains so much in the
way of mineral wealth, to say nothing of a
rich soil and equable climate, capable of
producing everything necessary to existence
with the smallest amount of labor. Cocoa
nuts, bananas and pine apples do best near
the coast; further back on tbe uplands, cof
fee, cocoa, tobacco, rice (upland), and
Indian corn abonnd.
The Northern fruits also do well on the
high plateaus of tbe interior, such as pears,
peaches, plums andcherries. In these ele
vated regions the climate is like our June,
seldom exceeding 80 degrees in snnimer or
falling below bO degrees in tbe winter,
though on some of the greatest elevations
frost occasionally appears. The scenery is
beautiful the wide plains,fianked on every
side by lofty mountains clothed with mag
nificent forests to their verv sunimits,around
which the clouds wreath themselves in
many fantastic forms.
IMITATION SNOW.
Often in early morning tbe vapors settle
in the ravines, looking exactly like snow
drifts and have often been mistaken for
such but snow has never been knowu to
fall even on the highest points. This de
lightful region needs only a stable govern
ment and an enterprising population to be
come a perfect garden.
Just now there is a little excitement over
the prospect 01 a continuation of the rail
road to the Pacific coast. It is asserted that
a number of New York capitalists stand
ready to push the matter as soon as certain
Government privileges are granted, and
these, it is said, will shortly be arranged.
This is donethat tbe State will experience
a boom that will be unequaled in American
history, as this is the only thing needed to
release the now imprisoned mineral treas
ures that are known to abound at every
step, and at the same time will open to set
tlement one of the richest agricultural belts
in the world. N. Teebla.
