? GENERAL BASEBALL KEWS OF THE DAT
All the leading baseball authorities have
much to say about the alleged scheme of the
.Ball Players' Brotherhood. They almost
all deny the truth of the story. The home
club easily beat "Washington. The trouble
between Ton der,Ahe and President Byrne
was settled in a compromise. There was an
exciting time at the Brooklyn-Columbus
fe ame.
rSrECIAX. TELISEUl TO THE DISPATCH.1
"WAshixgton, September 23. "It is the
-season for the annus! base ball scare," said
President Young, of the National League,
to-day, "and hence I was not at all sur
prised when ,1 read the details of the
Brotherhood of Ball Players' scheme in the
paper this morning. So far as the League
officials are concerned, they will not pay
any attention to the matter until the annual
meeting in November. Naturally this,
with other topics, will come up for consid
eration, and until the subject is thoroughly
discussed there is no telling what we will
do about the Brotherhood. Besides, it must
bo borne in mind that a little over two months
ago, when complaints were made by certain
jilayers regarding classification and sale of
plajers, the question was referred to a special
committee of three, with instructions to report
the result of their investigations at the annual
meeting, which this year will be held on No
vember 13 at New York.
WON'T TVOEKT OVEK IT.
"Although we did not co into details when
.Mr. Day was in Washington recently with the
3f cw Tork club we talLed over the subject in
cidentally and I gathered from what he said
that none of the magnates of the League are
inclined to worry much over this proposition.
There are several w eak points in the plan as
put foith in the newspapers, and this is espe
cially true regarding the location of some of
the proposed Brotherhood teams. Washington
Is ignored entirely aud some of the cities
-which hare made poor reputations for money
1 making, whi'e members of the Leagur are
Ciren preference over the capital. Despite
talk to the contrary, there will be a League
team iu Washington next year, for it is too
'good a baseball center to be despised, and now
that the club is on a good playing financial
"basis there is no reason why it should not make
money lor the syndicate which will run it dur
ing 1S90.
THE LEAGUE ALL BIGHT.
"Xho League organizations will be stronger
than ever before m their history. This is true
of Pittsburg, Clevelaland and Indianapolis,
where the baseball patrons have been remark
ably steadfast even in the face of the defeat of
their local teams, and I do not believe that any
- of those interested in these new League mem
bers have any cause to regret the money they
Lave expended to foster and promote the in
terest of the national game. Under all the clr-
cumstances. therefore. I do not see anything
t that is to be gained by the Brotherhood of ball
players or any similar organization among the
professional ball plaj ers of the United States
in getting into a snarl with the National
League until the report of the committee to
i which 1 have referred is submitted for consid
eration." ANOTHER TIEW OF IT.
.Forepaugh Said to be Interested Colonel
Rogers' Opinion.
rSI-ZCIAt. TVLEPBAM TO THE DISPATCH.1
Philadelphia, September 21 The base
"ball world is literally on the rack over the pub
lication of the plan of the Brotherhood to cap
ture the League. Adam Forepaugh, the circus
owner, is out of town, but It is now positively
(known that he is interested in the Philadelphia
end of the scheme, and that his circus lot is to
Vbe used as the new grounds. This lot is bound
ed by Thirteenth and Broad and Dauphin and
-York streets, and is much larger than the
Philadelphia ball park. It is two blocks nearer
the center of the city, the Reading Railroad
tracks run along one end of it and three street
car lines rnn within a block of it, going past
it on the Thirteenth street side.
Hamilton Disstou, the big saw manufacturer,
acknowledged that he had been approached
and asked to put capital in a Philadelphia
club -But," said he. "I have not the time to
attend to it so I declined. I think U will boa
good investment and Hill succeed."
Colonel John L Rogers, Secretary of the
Philadelphia Club, said be did not think the
scheme was practicable and that he was posi
tive that not a single member of the Philadel
phia club was in it. "-The slavery of the ball
player is delightful slavery," said the Colonel.
'The talk about the sale of a player is all
wrong. Aplayer is never sold. A clnb merely
Bells the right to bis services, and the player's
consent must first be obtained. In the case of
Ward papers were drawn up by which Wash
, lngtonnasto have given S1ZOO0 for Ward's
services. Ward was to have been manager and
captain, and was beside to have received a
i larger 6alary, but he absolutely refused to go
f to Washington and that ended the matter."
i
DISSTOX DENIES IT.
He and Forepaugh Not Connected With
the Brotherhood Scheme.
rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. I
s Philadelphia, September 21 Among the
capitalists whose names have been mentioned
1 as backers of the new baseball scheme that is
j?to be sprung upon ball patrons next year are
those of Hamilton Disston, the millionaire saw
Hinaker, and Adam Forepaugh, the great circus
s?man. If the names of the rest of the alleged
Jbackers of the Brotherhood have been given
tont for publication with as little warrant as
those of Hamilton Duston and Adam Fore
t paucb, the magnates of the threatened League
i'may rest in peace, for both gentlemen to-aay
tdemed being connected with it in any way.
' John A. Forepaugh, who is fully authorized
1 to speak for his uncle, said: "Mr. Forepaugh
Alias no connection with this league of the
'Brotherhood, in any shape or form, and you
4 may deny it emphatically."
J "Mr. Disston was found at his house and be
Caaid: "No, J have no connection with It at all.
I though I was aoproacbea some time ago: but I

'JIkdiakapolis, September 21 The New
iTork club arrived here late last night, tired out
with a long and fatiguing railway ride. What
ever rumors are afloat in other League cities
regarding the new League and Brotherhood
schemes little stock apparently is taken in
them by the New Yorkers. Ewing says there
Us not a thing in it. Mr. Day says: "Well, it
?Eeeras useless denying these minors and state
imcnts. The newspaper correspondents con
tinue to earnestly build up new baseball
'schemes, but there is really nothing in it."
"League players," Mutric says, "would be
foolish to riBk their positions in any chimerical
schemes, and that if newspaper correspondents
comprehended the colossal work absolutely
necessary to form another successful league, or
to create a combination such as is foreshadowed
In this Brotherhood scheme they would see at
once that the chances are altogether against It,
and that it will all end in smoke. Supposing

Al Johnson and Oil Lawyer Setose to
DJsclose Its Parpos.
Cleveland, September 23. The officials of
the Cleveland Baseball Club were somewhat
excited to-day when they learned the details of
the plan adopted by the Brotherhood. The
first thing they did was to hold a consultation.
To-night they say they will be represented In
the League next year, come what may. No
member of the clnb has complained to them,
and if any player has a erievance. all he has to
' do is to mention it and justice will be done
mm.
L. A RusselL Eso... is attorney for Al. John
son, fie local capitalist Dehlnd the proposed
brotherhood organization. When asked to-aay
if he had drawn the necessary papers he de
cline . to say a word, save that be could not
talk, but would later on. Zimmer denies that
he has subscribed for stock in the new organ
ization, and other members of the Cleveland
team aeclare that they do not kuow anything
about the new movement. AL Johnson even
says the same, but his lawyer, one of the most
prominent members of the Cleveland Bar, says
that he will talk later on, which shows that he
at least knows something about the enterprise.
The Pblladelphians, who are here, claim to
know all about the scheme, but will not give
out any information. They alto refuse to com
mit themselves to decline to say whether they
will remain in the League if the concessions
they ask for are granted. The Cleveland play
ers evidently are not in the secret, and the best
men among them are emphatic in saying as
much. r
THE BROTHEBIIOOD SCHE3IK.
Local Opinions Abont the Alleged
New
Baseball Organization.
The great topic of conversation yesterday In
baseball circles was the article published in
yesterday's Dispatch relative to the alleged
new organization of the ball players' brother
hood. The officials of the local ball dnb, in
cluding Director Palmer O'Neil, treated the
announcement very lightly, mdned. Secretary
Scandrett offered to bet $100 that the brother
hood would have no team at all next year. Mr.
O'Neil claimed that the scheme could not be
pnt into operation.
The majority of cranks as patrons of the
game, hon ever, were of opinion that there Is
"something in it." The manager of Expo
sition Park, while admitting that application
had been made for the park, stated that he was
not in a position to talk abont the matter yet.
The players all declined to say whether or not
the story was trna.
COL. BOGERS' OPINION.
Each League Clnb Hns the Right to Its
Players' Service lo 1S90.
Philadelphia, September 23. Colonel
John I. Rogers, Secretary of the Philadelphia
Baseball Club, has sent to the Presidents of the
League clubs his legal opinion that section 18
of the contract now in force between League
dobs and their players (and which is known as
the Brotherhood contract, having been formu
lated and prepared by that body and accepted
by the League), expressly secures to each
League club the absolute right to its players'
services for the season of 1890.
The Brotherhood After Western PInyers.
Memteafolis. September 21 Overtures
have been made to several of the crack players
of the Western Association by members of the
Brotherhood to join the co-operative leaguel
Duke, Hengle and Foster, of Minneapolis;
Ix ichols, Clark and Nagle, of Omaha; Widner,
of St Joe; Burdick. Crotty and Powell, of
Sioux City, are among those mentioned. The
Minneapolis players do not deny having re
ceived offers, but have not yet accepted.
WITHOUT MUCH TBOUBLE.
The Home Talent Win n Tame Game from
the Senators Llttls Keefe Is
Touched Up Quite Lively
Staler Does Good Work
Bad Fielding by
the Visitors.
It might be safe to say that if the Senators
were the hardest lot of ball players to beat,
the Pittsburg representatives would have some
thing like'a sure thing in winning the League
pennant. This does not mean that Mr. Hewitt's
aggregation are altogether to be despised, but
it means that they are a few degrees inferior
in quality of playing to the players who bail
from this city. This fact, or at least the effects
of it. came in very handy yesterday, as the
home players, in tackling the Senators, stepped
up to their old position sixth place. The
Hooslers failed to seep pace with the Giants,
and the former took a little tumble. If the
Senators were to stay here until the end of the
season, and everything went ell, the home
club might pass more people than the Hoosl
ers, providing too many phenoms were not
tried in the box.
Yesterday's game between the Washington
delegation and the local talent was not one of
the brightest by any means. The weather was
excellent: just cool enough for outdoor enjoy
ment when anything exciting is going on.
not TEKr Excrrnfo.
But there were few, if any, exciting features
in the contest, as from the start the home
players had considerably the best of it. The
playing on both sides was slow, and lacked
what Manager John Glasscock would call
ginger. Seldom did a player on either side dis
p.ay even an average liveliness; in fact, the
visitors plajed a tiresome came. They made
costly mistakes, just as if they were under
lined on the programme and must needs be
performed.
Staley pitched a rather peculiar game. At
times he was very shaky, and looked as if he
was abont to collapse. Then suddenly he
would brace up and strike two or three men
out in an inning. In the sixth inning he struck
the entire side out, and in the second and fifth
struck two men out In each instance. How
ever, he held himself well together at very
critical stages, and Carroll caught him admir
ably. Keefe was not a great success in the box.
He did fairly well, but he was very unsteady.
Riddle, a new man, eaught him, and did fairly
well. The latter seems an energetic young
fellow, and is very well built. Wllmot evi
dently had a day off, as he could neither hit
the ball nor field. ,
THEY COTTLDN'T HIT.
Wise and Irwin, too, were completely af sea
when facing Stale. Altogether, if the Sen
ators do not put up a better game than they
did yesterday it is reasonable to expect that
they'll not win a game in Pittsburg.
The contest began bv Carroll being called
ont on strikes. Umpire Knight, without
doubt, gave the burly catcher a tough deal,
but it had to go. Rowe was retired at first
base, and Beckley reached first on John Ir
win's wild throw to Mack. Deacon White
then made a little single more by cood luck
than by good management, and Jocko Fields
thumped the ball aver to the left field fence for
two bases, scoring Beckley Hanlon retired
the side by going out at first.
The Senators tied the score in the second
inning. After A. Irwin had struck but Mack
made a single to left, and made a clean steal of
second. Riddle, the new catcher, then sized
Staley up for a long single to center, and Mack
scored. Ridnle tried to pilfer second, but was
cleverly nabbed, and Keefe struck out.
In the tuird inning Beckley reached second
on a muffed flly bv Wilniot. White hit to left
for a Blngre, sendingBeckley to third, and a
passed ball sent the Deacon to second. Fields
knocked a long fly to right field, ana Beckley
scored on the throw in.
HANLON'S TWO-BAGGER SENT
White home, and Miller and Dunlap went out
in order. For the visitors G. Irwin led off
with a single, and scored on a sacrifice by Wll
mot and a long single by Beecher.
The seventh inning was reached before any
more runs were made. Both pitchers did good
work up to that point, but when that inning
was reached little Southpawed Keefe was
something of a mark. Beckley led off and was
retired at first. White then made a double to
left field, and Jocko banged the ball out to the
left field fence for two more bases, scoring
White. Hanlon reached hrst on a muffed fly
by Wilmot, and Miller's two-bagger to deep
center field sent both Fields and Hanlon home.
Dunlap and Staley each filed ont.
The Senators began the seventh also In a
lively way. J. Irwin led off and made a single
to left, and reached third on a good single by
Hoy to right field. Wilmot's sacrifice sent
Irwin across the plate, and Beecher' 8 sacrifice
sent Hoy to third. Wise, however, struck out,
and the side was retired. After another inning
had been played it was too dark to continue
the game and Umpire Knight stopped the pro
ceedings. The crowd was meaeer. not more
than 600 people being present. Following is the
score.

AN INTERESTING SERIES.
Efforts to Have the Plttsbnrgs Play the
County Leogue Teams.
Mr. A. G. Pratt, the local patron of amateur
baseball playing, is negotiating with:President
Nimick with a view of arranging a series of
games between the Plttsbnrgs and the County
League clubs. Mr. Pratt desires that the
Plttsbnrgs play two games each with the East
End Athletics, McKeesports, Braddocks and
Homesteads, that is a home and home game
with each clnb. President Nimick is inclined
to grant Mr. Pratt's request
A series such as above named after the
championship season is over would be inter
esting. It would give the admirers of the
amateur players an opportunity of seeing how
the amateurs compare with the full-Hedged
professionals. This would be an attractive
feature. The series would also likely be as
profitable financially as a series of games with
professional teams. Heretofore games with
Association or minor league clubs have been
financial failures.

Philadelphia, September 23. Manager

Brooklyn, to-day was a case of incompetent
umpire, bad management quarreling players
and unduly demonstrative spectators, of whom
there wen about 2,400. Umpire Henkle started
the game at 8:40 P. it. The Columbus men se
cured three runs and then the trouble be ran.
The. visiting players "gibed" the umpire from
the players' bench and he fined O'Connor and
Baldwin $3 each and Marr $10.
"In the second inning the trouble was renewed

and continued throughout the game. Burns
was dedared out at third base. He objected so
forcibly that he 'was fined tlO and ordered out
of the game. VIsner took his place In right
field. Henkle ordered pitcher Baldwin out Of
the game in the eighth Inning and iaston was
substituted.
The home players had scored two runs in the
seventh Inning. At the end of the eighth the
Columbus men protested against begin
ning the ninth, .but Umpire Henkle ordered
them to go on. In the first half Brooklyn got a
rnn and tied the score. Henkle then called the
game, claiming it was too dark to play longer,
and throwing the game back to the eigthtb, or
completed inning. A howl of dismay went np
from the crowd at this decision and a wild rush
was made for the umpire. The police and
players quickly surrounded the umpire and
Henkle was got safely to the club house. The
crowd then dispersed. When Henkle called
the game in the ninth he thought it was the
close of the Inning aud that the score was a tie.

CracrNirATi, September 23. At the Grand
Hotel this morning all the clubs of the Ameri
can BasebaU Association were represented at a
meeting of the directors to act on the question
in dispute between the St. Louis and Brooklyn
clubs in the forfeited games of September 7
and 8. The following persons weie present,
rcspresen ting their respective clubs:
AthletlcsW. H. Whittaker.
Baltimore-J. W. Walt
Brooklyn C. H. Byrae, J. J. Doyle and F. A.
Abel.
Cincinnati Harry Sterne and Louis Kramer.
Columbus C. Bern, Jr., and Balph Lazarus.
Kansas City J. W. Spease.
Louisville L. 8. Parsons.
St Louis CjVon der Ahe, John J. O'Neil
and!C W. Scott
The Boaid of Directors continued In session
all day and evening with short recesses for
meals. The game of September 7 was passed
upon first after hearing statements from Mr.
Von Der Ahe and Captain Comiskey, of the St
Louts Club, and the reading of the affidavits of
Milligan, McCarthy and Chamberlln, of the St
Louis.
Mr. Bvrne. of Brooklyn, presented the affi
davits of Umpire Fred Goldsmith, all the
Brooklyn players and of representatives of the
New York press present at the games in ques
tion, also of telegraph operators.
The point to be decided was whether Umpire
Goldsmith was warranted in the decision be
gave. All the testimony was as to whether it
was light enongh to proceed with the game on
tne 7tb. Before a decision was pronounced in
this case, the Sunday came of May 8 was taken
up, the one in which the St. Louis club Is
charged with having refused to go to Ridge
wood Park to play. Both sides offered much
testimony, that of St Louis was their fear of
violence from the crowd. Against this Mr.
Byrne's affidavit was presented that Mr. Von
der Ahe agreed to play provided the forfeited
game of the day before should be played oft.
After long consultation theboatd decided
upon a sort of compromise, awarding Satur
day's game to the tit Lauis club and remitting
the fine on the gronnd that Umpire Gold
smith's decision was wrong. As to Sunday's
game the board gave that to the Brooklyn club
9 to 0, and imposed a fine of 51,500 on the St
Louis club for failing to appear at Rldgewood
Park.
The directors also recommended that the
services of Fred Goldsmith as umpire be dis
continued. The board is In session to-night
ana will meet again to-morrow.

THE 0SLT BARNDM'S CIRCUS.
Large Crowds From City and Country Saw
the Performances.
Barnum's circus showed in Allegheny
yesterday; it will be there again to-day, and
a large number of people from city and
country saw the animals and the perform
ances. About 1S.O00 people were present in
the afternoon, 5,000 remained for the con
cert, and in the evening well, the big tent
wns running over. Its seating capacity is
20,000.
A party of newspaper men witnessed the
acrobatic feats, the antics of the clowns,
the tricks of trained animals, the skill of
bareback riders, and the work of tumblers,
contortionists, etc., with as much pleasure
as a little golden-haired maiden who saw
everything and was anxious lor her mamma
to do so, too. Tony Pastor, with a few
members of bis company, occupied seats in
the press gallery, and the old showman's
eyes sparkled at times as if he had never
seen a circus before.
There was nothing particularly startling
about the perl'ormance. Everything was
done easily and well. The costumes of the
actors were bright and clean, as it they had
not been used all summer. "With two rings
aud as 'many platforms' in operation at the
same time the big crowds had all they could
do to watch the performances. Many
wished there could nave been one large
ring, but with such a number of performers
to do their parts in two hours this would be
impossible. Even the concert after the
show was something novel in its line. Bar
num certainiy maintained his reputation as
the greatest showman on earth.
A SMALL SIZED BIOT.
Colored Men nnd Italians Fight Over a
Boy on Second Avenue.
About 6 O'clock yesterday afternoon a row
that threatened to end in a large sized riot
happened on Second avenue, near Franks
town, between the colored and Italian labor
ers employed by Booth & Plinn to repair
the street The trouble arose over the boy
who carries water being struck by an en
raged Italian. The" colored laborers took up
the cudgel in, the boy's behalf and went at
the Italians with picks and shovels.
"When Captain Mercer appeared with a
squad of police in the patrol Wflgbn, the
fighters fled. Two of them were captured,
both, colored men, who gave their names as
James Clark aud Fred Black. Captain
Mercer learned the names oi a number of
others, and informations will be made
apaimt.them to-day.

word in beautiful shape. Alcryon was at the
pole, Pilot Knox was second. Nelson third and

owner; Alcryon, by Robbins; Junemont by
James Golden; Granby, by Crit Davis, and
Pilot Knox, by J. J. Powers.

WHY O'CONNOR WAS BBATEN.
Mr. Rogers, the Canadian's Backer, Ke
tnrns nnd Explains.
ISPXCTAL TXX.XQBAX TO THE DISFATCII.I
Toronto, Ont., September 23. People here
were disappointed when O'Connor did not re
turn with his backer, Joe Rogers. Rogers says
O'Connor was overtrained, and adds:
"When O'Connor is O'Connor he can beat
Searle, for be is a superior oarsman and faster
than Searle. Searle has not yet given any
definite answer to the offer to give him a race
in this country straight away for any distance
with O'Connor, and also an offer to match
Hanlan and O'Connor against him and Matter,
son. O'Connor could not get a berth in the
Alaska. He Is probably on his way across
now."
A FlercB Fight.
OXAHA, Neb September 23. Patsy Corri
gan. a stone cntter, and Steve Hill, laborer,
fought 13 savage rounds here in a barn near
Shot Tower last night with two ounce gloves.
Hill was nearly ten pounds lighter than his ad
versary, but was much quicker of the two. He
got the first blood, and by skillful work soon
bad the bitr man exhausted, and finished him
without difficulty by terrific right banders in
the jaw. The fight lasted about an hour, and
both men were fearfully punished.

Sam Day, the pedestrian, called at this office
last evening and left the following proposition:
