Kansas City withdrew from the Association, and Baltimore mar buy the "Washington franchise. The League will appeal to law to secure injunctions against the old players. Final arrange ments were made for the Friddy-SIcClelland race. 1EFXCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! 2etv Yoke, November 15. To-day was the fifth day of the great baseball meetings at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. The League had very little business to attend to, and the del egates were soon ready to leave for home. Sogers, of Philadelphia, said that it was a notorious fact that a cumber of players re served by League clubs had declared their intention to violate said reserve, notwith standing notices by their respective clubs of said reserve, and of the latter's option to re sew the usual form of contract with such players for the season of '90. Also, that the opinions of eminent counsel bad been re ceived affirming the legal and equitable rights of said clubs under said contracts to the services of their respective players for the sea son of '90. That, therefore, he moved the fol lowing resolution: A BIG BESOLVE. Resolved, That the League hereby declares that it will aid each of its club members in the enforcement of the contractual rights of said clubs to the services of its reserved players for the season of '90; and that a committee of three be appointed by tho League with full power to formulate and carry out the best methods of enforcement of said contractual rights of said clubs; and that such committee be authorized to draw upon the guarantee fund of the League for such amounts as may be necessary to carry out the intent of this resolution. Messrs. Byrne, Rogers and Day were appointed as said committee. Mr. Spalding offered the follow ing resolution, which was adopted: Resolved. That no League club shall from this time enter into negotiations or contracts with players not under League reservation, or enter into negotiations with any club for the transfer of any of its players until February 1, 1890. A SETT COMMITTEE. Resolved, That a committee of three be ap pointed to be designated as the Negotiations Committee, of which the President of the League shall be Chairman, to which shall be referred all applications from players desiring positions on League teams as well as applica tions from club members of the national agreement wishing to dispose of the leases of their players; Resolved, That the Chairman of this commit tee shall be the exclusive channel through which such applications and negotiation can be conducted by the National League or any of its clubs, and said committee shall ascertain the terms upon which any such releases can be pro cured or such contracts executed; Resolved, That all League clubs in order to secure the services of such players will indicate to the Chairman the positions to be filled and the names of the players wanted, and upon the unanimous vote of said committee a contract may be executed between a club and any player so approved and formulated in the usual manner. GETTING CASK BEADY. Resolved, That the committee, by its unani mous vote, be authorized to draw from the guarantee fund of the League such funds .as maybe necessary to carry ont the purpose of this resolution, to be repaid to the fund by the clubs benefited thereby. Messrs. Byrne, Young and Reach were ap pointed on this committee. The League then adjourned, to reconvene on January 2S. 1890. Acting rresiaem v on aer An called the As sociation meeting to order at 11 o'clock. The first business before the meeting was the resig nation tendered by Delegate Q. C. Krauthoff, of the Kansas City club, irom the Association. According to the constitution, any club can re sign during the month of November without going through the formality of an acceptance of the resignation by the Association. Messrs. Spease and Krauthoff left the rooms, and the Kansas City club was immediately transferred to the Western Association by telegraph. This action left only five clubs in the Association. As the representatives of five clubs constitute a quorum, business was resumed, and Zach .Phelps, of Louisville, was elected President All this occurred before the Association bad been in session an hour. It leaked out later that the DETBOIT AND STBACUSE Clubs had made formal application for ad mission to the Association. The result of the application has not yet been made public There are well-authenticated rumors afloat to the effect that the Baltimore is making an ef fort to desert the Association and it is said that an attempt will be made by the Baltimore managers to make their club a member of the League by the purchase of the Washington franchise. All the morning Walter E. Hewitt, of Washington, and Henry R. Von der Horst. the wealthy brewer, who virtually owns the Baltimore club, have been in close consulta tion. Mr. C Born, of Columbus, was elected Vice President. The following committees were then elected: Board of Directors Ath letic, Baltimore, Columbus and St. Louis. Finance Committee Columbus, Athletic and Bt. Louis. Schedule Committe Athletic. St Louis and Louisville. Players' Rules Ath letic, Baltimore and Couisville. Board of Ar bitration Phelps, Wbittaker and O'Neil. MB. BTBNE'S BEPLT. A recess was then taken until 2.30 o'clock. TJpon reassembling Mr. Barnie was added to the Finance Committee. This committee was empowered to receive applications and approve them. Their decision will be final. Messrs. Phe!p Whlttaker and Barnie were appointed a committee to revise the constitution. The next meeting of the association will be held in Columbus in December. The meeting was ad. journed until to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock. J jur. .Byrne saia: "I have no reply to make to any statement made by the St. Louis club or its allsged legal representative. The press and the public will readily recognize and appreciate the animus which prompts any statements made by the ex champion club of the American Association against the Brooklyn club " After the routine business the Hon. John J. O'Neil, Mr. Von aer Abe's legal adviser, ex plained the argument of the '-combine" in the following manner, as he walked nervouslv up and down the carpet MB. O'UEIL'S ABGUMEKT. "Ton gentlemen are probably aware of the statements floating around the corridors to the effect that a combine had been formed against the Cincinnati and Brooklyn clubs. I wish to contradict these statementsand the men in this room will bear me out There has been no combine having for its object any injury to Brooklyn or Cincinnati. We have known for tome months that the Brooklyn and Cincinnati clubi had intended forsaking the Association. Realizing that we had to deal with a conspiracy -we selected a man in Mr. Phelps for President whom we knew to be above suspi cion and who would not be influenced by a financial consideration. We knew he did pot have a dollar invested in the Louisville club. We believed he would preserve the As sociation from disintegration agaigst some who were conspirators in it We believed that the Brooklyn club resorted to dishonorable means, such as Indirect bribery and tampering with the club in order to get the Association cham pionship. Telegrams were sent by A. J. Bnshong, a Brooklyn catcher, to John Milli gan, 5f the St Louis club, of a very compro mising nature. These telegrams were the re sult of an agreement, as near as can be learned, made previously between MILLIGAN AKD BUSHONG toihe effect that Bo-hong agreed to give Mill- .fancne-nsil of the money he recelred in case. tho Brooklyn team won, if HUHfrn would do the same with him. At this time the Brooklyn team was four frames ahead. One of the tele crams was produced by Mr. O'Neil. It read as follows: To John liiUlt-an, Catcher BU Louis Baseball Club: FMIKDJACK Hone Ton will answer the tele trram 1 sent you which was that 111 give S200 for your share In our agreement. It will be a per sonal favor to me lfyoa will and besides will he a sure thin for you and yet jtlve me a chance to make a little. Don't lose your chance as yon did with Tucker, heply Instantly at my expense. A. J. BnsiiONO. Mr. O'Neil closed his talk by sayinc that It was the intention of the Association to hew close to the line In the future no matter whero the chips fell, to play honest ball and make the came purely an athletic test between men and men. Mr. Von der Ahe stated that the dispatch to Milligan was opened by him as he thought John micht be sick and he was given permis sion to open any letter that he thought was of any importance. "When I read the diSDatch." continued Mr. Von der Ahe, "I was thunder struck. Wlien I saw Milligan and asked him to explain matters, he said that the agreement which has already been read here, was true In crery respect, but he contended that he did not mean anything wrong." SPALDING'S PLAIN TALK. He Snjs gome Pointed Things About the Situation. New York. November 1& After the League meeting adjourned to-day, A. G. Spalding was, interviewed on the situation. He said be was perfectly satisfied with the legislation and work of the League at this meeting and with the addition of Brooklyn and Cincinnati, he considered the League stronger now than it. ever was in its history. The in creasing of the bond to be given by each club to $25,000, not only in his opinion insures the financial responsibility of the League, but Is a guarantee to the players that any contract made between r League club and a player can be enforced by the player. "The League," said Mr. Spalding, "by the abolishment of the 'sale system and classifica tion rule-and by the payment of $250toSut cllffe. although technically there was no legal obligation to do this, as Sutcliffe did not sign a Brotherhood contract with the Detroit club in 1SS7 containing the salary reservation clause, has civen the players more than they asked for, all of which carries out my promise to Ward that the matters referred to in our June con ference could safelv be entrusted to the League for a fair consideration and settlement at its annual meeting. The League has up to the present time given the Brotherhood every thing they have asked for, and if after this action the players are determined to make an effort to break the League and Join a rival onranlzation they must prepare themselves to take the consequences." In answer to a question as to what the policy of the League would be toward their revolting players. Mr. Spalding said that no one could speak definitely for the League, but his per sonal Idea was tnstu tnepiayers persist in their "conspiracy," and show in same more substantial way than empty threats that they really intend to carry their scheme into opera tion, he had no doubt that the League clubs would make every possible effort to enjoin the players from playing in any other organiza tion. Mr. Spalding said that it was the opinion of some of the most prominent lawyers in the country that such an injunction will hold. He has, as yet seen no opinion from any lawyer on the other side, indicating the reverse. "In case the injunctions are not obtainable what will thepolicv of the League be thenT" Mr. Spalding was asked. "In that event there will be nothing left for the League to do but to expel all the players who enter into the conspiracy, which will prac tically mean their retirement Irom professional baseball, should their rebellious scheme prove a failure. "I have too high a regard for the general in telligence of the rank and file of the League players to believe that they will be led into such a dangerous experiment by a few hot headed anarchists, urged on and abetted by a few enthusiastic long-chance capitalists whose only possible interest in the matter, according to their 'own statements, is tbe amonnt of money they hope to realize out of it" MB- STERN'S SCHEME. He Wants to Pat His Plnyers on the Co operative Plan. KetTobk, November Id The Cincinnati players are going to be given an opportunity to play speculative baseball next year. It is the plan which President Stern has been hatching for such a length of time, and a hint of which was given out last week. Mr. Stern said to day: I was going to wait until I got home, hut have concluded to let you telegraph a skeleton out line of the plan, so that the players will have time to do a little thinkinir before I get back to Cincinnati. They think, I guess, that I made money last year. Such is not the case. I lost money, and my books will show it Here is what I nropose to do: My men. if they want to. can go with me on the co-operative plan. By that I mean that my players and myself will go on the salary list at (1,200 a year each and at the end of the season we will divide profits or losses as the case may be. Of course tbe man ager is tbe exception to this, for he must be paid his contract price. Tbe players can help select their own gate-keepers, money-coujters, bookkeepers,auditing committee, and can have a say in imposing fines, the discharging of E layers, tbe engagement of new ones, and, in nef, they will share authority with me in everything that pertains to the management and welfare of the club. Can anything be fairer than that? You can add, also, that my expense will be greater than theirs because I will make no charge for interest on the capital I have invested in tbe plant Everything will go into them free. Here is a chance for them to work on a basis that double discounts tbe Brotherhood plans for making money. As I say, the chance is theirs if tbey want it and I was led to devise this plan only because I pro pose to do everything 1 can to make them con tented. Tbey can take their choice of tbe old way or tbe new, and their choice will be a mat ter of indifference to me." PHELPS' NOTION. He Thinks the Association and Brother hood Could Unite. ISFECTAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISFATCH.l Louisville, Ky., November 15. The with drawals of tbe Cincinnati and Brooklyn clubs from tbe American Association have caused no little anxiety among the local lovers of the na tional game. As to the fate of the Louisville club many seem to fear that the withdrawal of two of the strongest clnbswill result in the break ing up of the Association, while others seem to think that it is a very fortunate thing for the Association. A reporter this morning called upon Mr. Zach Phelps, the new president and asked what would bo the effect of the with drawal of clubs. He said: "I am too far from the seat of war to be in formed of the plans formed by tbe remaining clubs. Of course the withdrawal of Brooklyn and Cincinnati will temporarily embarass the Association. However, all of the clnbs have been expecting this very thing for several months. They knew tbat Byrne and Stearns were waiting for the first opportunity to jump and they believed tbat tbe League would make places for them at its November meeting. Here is a fine chance for tbe Association to build up the grandest League that ever ex isted in tbe history pf baseball. It can affiliate with the Brotherhood. I do not advocate the breaking of the national agreement, although things seem to have been drifting in that direc tion for some time. Of course to unite with the Brotherhood would be an open violation of the agreement, unless it is shown tbat the League has violated it in admitting the Cincinnati and Brooklyn clubs. Whether it has or not, I do not know as any negotiations prior to Novem ber 1 would have been kept very quiet. It the Association and Brotherhood were to unite, a splendid league of ten clubs could be organ ized. The Brotherhood players and those of the Association Could be distributed in such a manner to make tbe ten clubs very nearly equal in strength," Got Their Charter. f FECIAL TTST.ErRAM TO Till DI8FATCR.1 Albany, N.

The St Louis base ball public were up in arms to-day when they heard of tbe desertion of Brooklyn and Cin cinnati. To-night Eddie Von der Ahe, the only son of tbeTresldent of the St Louis club, at tbe suggestion of several of President Von der Ahe's warmest friends, sent him a letter to New York, urging him to form a coalition be tween the clubs that are left of the American Association and the Brotherhood. The dispatch woundup by saying: "If you will join forces with tbe Brotherhood we will elect yon Governor of Missouri." Mr. Spink, editor of tho Sporting Neve, said to-night: "President Von der Ahe has always been friendly to the Brotherhood, and tbe dispatch sent out some time ago quoting him as saying that the fight between tbe Brotherhood ana the League was a fight between labor and cap ital, and that he would be found on the side of capital, was a lie made out of whole cloth. He is too good a business man to make such a statement, knowing, as be does, that such an assertion would be a direct affront to a large part of his patronage." TO-DAY'S BIG RACE. Ted Johnson Selected Referee for the Prlddy-McClcllnnd Contest. The representatives of Peter Priddy and E. C. McClelland met at this office last evening and made final arrangements for the big foot race which takes place between these two run ners to-day at Exposition Park. The meeting was of the most harmonious kind, and showed that each party means business. The names of Henry Meyers and Ted John son were mentioned as suitable persons to act as referee, and the toss of a coin decided in favor of Johnson. It was then decided to engage two policemen to keep the track clear. Tbe contestants will be on the mark at 4:15. A good rate is expected, as both peds are in ex cellent condition and confident of victory. The track is heavy, but the race has to take place "rain or shine." The stakes are $500 aside and the distance one mile. There is sure to be some spirited betting, but mo conamon ot the tracx will certainly pre vent anything like fast time. Last evening Priddy ran a strong half mile, and finished in excellent Shape. McClelland has, it is stated, been doing first-class work. He will strip at 132, and Priddy will be ten pounds heavier. Sam Day has bad Priddy In charge, and Chris. Boselip has been training Mr. McClel land. Pnddywillbe accompanied on the track by his trainer and George Smith, and McClel land will be attended by his trainer and Ben Trimber.

Circuit Attorney Clover had a tilt with the grand jury to-day over tbe Jackson prize fight case. It appears the grand jury refused to return an Indictment for murder against Joseph A.

HOW BIS H00SIER FEIENDSDO BANKING The Treasurer's Flan Still Criticised by Eminent Financiers. Treasurer Huston's plan to prevent the re turn of so many silver dollars to the Treas ury has been explained by that gentleman, together with his reasons for such a recom mendation. But that does not suffice with other financiers, who find it a subject of criticism. rSMCIAI. TELEOBAM TO THE DISFATCH.l Washington, November 15. The mys teriousuggestion Dy Treasurer Huston, in his annual report, that for the Government to cease paying tbe cost of -transportation on silver sent out of the Treasury in re sponse to private demands might be effect ive as a means of preventing tbe return of the coin to the Treasury, has finally been explained by that gentleman, "Let us suppose," he says, '-that a bank in my State, when the grain harvesting sea son approaches, with the necessity for pay ing off large numbers of field hands, makes a draft upon us for 50,000 in standard sil ver dollars. There is no hesitancy in making this call, because it will not cost the bank anything to get the money. "Well, the men are paid off, tbe season of harvest is over, and the silver finds its wav back into the bank by degrees. The managers of the bank, knowing that they "WILL NOT NEED THE SILVER AGAIN for a long time, conclude to ship it to us once more, because they are aware that at any time they desire they can have it returned without expense. Now don't yon see that if the managers understood that they would be.obliged to pay a ronnd sun for recover ing possession of that silver they would not send it back to us so promptly?" "But would they order it in the first place as readily if they had to pay transportation on it?" he was asked. "Well, experience has shown thai we can not expect to keep more than $55,000,000 to 60,000,000 in circulation at any time. The amount varies slightly, but the average is pretty well maintained year by year. I as sume that it would stay about the same if we ceased paying transportation. But the point I wanted to impress in my report was that if the Government ceased paying trans portation, the banks which now'feel confi dent of their ability to get their silver again by merely asking for it would hold fast to it while it is in their hands, instead of ship ping it to "Washington when there was a temporary lull." THE PLAN CBITICISED. A well-known financier who was for a number of years an officer of die Treasury, when this explanation was qnoted to him promptly commented: "That is a brilliant idea of the Treasurer's, but the bankers where he came irom must do business on peculiar principles. Anywhere else they would do their thinking before they paid the expressage from their town to "Washing ton for the return of the dollars to the Treas ury. When they are willing to take that expense upon themselves, and incur the further risk of having a lot of them thrown out as counterfeit, or light weight, or other wise imperfect, it is prettv good proof that they want to get rid of "it, I should think. .Having got it out of" their hands at such a cost, does it not stand to reason that they would think twice before ordering it back the next season ? Mr. Huston's argument is very interesting, but it begins at the wrong end. It mav be that we cannot keep more than $60,000,000 in circulation, do what we may; butisngtGgfjOQ BETTEE THAyA SMALLER SUM, ""' such as we should' snreIy be reduced to if w ' Husjsu policy in force? There is no loabt of the unp0pn-.arity of the standard do5-ar ag a coin for generai cir. culation; my experience has given me abudan' Pf of it. Our people were spoiled by thjfir iong nse of paper for form of metai moneVi anil especially so bulky a forr as Bilver. But there is the silver law, jhich cannot be repealed as a whole, and it js certainly to the interest of everybody tfljput as aany of these dollars out of the i jTreasurv vaults and into the w a5 n e hands of the De0Dle a5 Pos sible. All j,e Government pays for car nage, as I Understand the present contract, is 2 mills a mile for eTery $1,000. Those are very ltjw terms much lower than any private paUy could command from the ex press companies.
