JSriCIAI. TZLIGBAM TO TIH DISrATCIM
New Yobk, January 9. That portion of
the, Supreme Court over which Judge Mor
pan T. O'Brien presides -was filled to over
flowing to-day by a crowd partaking of the
baseball character, who expected to listen to
arguments by counsel respecting the valid
ity of contracts between the National League
and its players, and in which the Metropoli
tan Exhibition Company, controlling the
New York Clnb, is the plaintiff, and John
M. Ward, of the Players' League is the de
fendant. An injunction was moved for last
week to restrainJohn M."Ward from playing with
any organization other than the National
League, bat the mass of evidence that was to
he presented induced Judge O'Brien to post
pone the case until to-day, so that the whole
matter could he probed to the bottom and a
proper decision rendered. The case was sixth
on the calendar, and it was hut a short time
after court convened that His Honor called:
"The Metropolitan Exhibition Company versus
John M. Ward."
THE LEGAL LIMBS.
Messrs. Choate and Beaman, with George M.
Bursters, of connsel for the New York clnb,
were early upon the scene of action and ex
Judge Howland and his colleague, Mr. Ander
son, of connsel for the Flayers' League, sat im
" mediately beside their opponents. The rela
tions between the learned experts of the law
were of the friendliest character, and before
and during the argument of Mr. Beaman,
Juage Howland and Mr. Choate had frequent
chats together. Among the important base
ball personages present were: President John
B. Iay, Directors Charles T. Dillingham, Wal
ter Apple ton and Jos. Gordon, ol the Metro
politan Exhibition Company; President Byrne,
of the Brooklyn club; Manager llutrie, John
Ward, Tim Keefe, George Gore and Buck
Becannon. .Mr. Beaman presented the case of
the plaintiff and asked for the restraint of the
defendant. Ward, from playing witb any other
club. In support of the request he carefully
explained to the court what the game of base
ban really was. how the clubs were constituted
and managed; told what the national agree
ment was and the methods of the Brotherhood
and the Players' .League.
THE CLUB'S BEHEFITS.
He dweU at some length on how the New
Fork derived its benefits, claiming that it was
principally by the reputation and ability of its
players. Dropping his manuscript for a mo
ment, and lootd g at Judge O'Brien smilingly,
be said: "In addition to Ward's good qualities
as a ball player he is a lawyer." This amused
the court in general. The contract with the
players was read through hurriedly until tbe
supplementary contract with Ward was
reached.
"Not satisfied with the original contract,"
said Mr. Beaman. "Ward insisted on signing a
contract of bis ow-. In wiich the word reserve
was omitted. But 1 woull like to know the
difference between the original contract with
the word reserve included and tbe supple
mentary contract which Ward signed. That
contract stated that he shall not be held for
1890 on a salary less than 3,00(1. Is not that a re-
serve contract? Suppose he was offered $3,000
or more, would nut that hold him under his
own contract? We think it undoubtedly would.
This supplementary contract is certainly a part
of the original contract. It is a contract made
to protect himself. Then why should it not
protect a club as well ?"
In concluding. Mr. Beaman said: "The ques
tion is, have we a contract with Ward? Is he
bound by it? Or Is it simply an ordinary
laborer's contract which can be broken with
out recourse to tbe law?"
HOWLAND CALLED DOWN.
Ex-Judge Eowland settled himself for an ex
tended argument after Mr. Beaman had con
cluded, but Mr. Choate was on his feet in an
instant, and claimed that Juage Howland's
procedure was at total variance with the law,
and asked tbe Court's interposition. Judge
Howland was anxious to present a mass of
affidavits, iu support of which be would be
obliged to refer at some length to the National
League from its inception to the nresent time.
Judge O'Brien said that Mr. Howland's course
was the general one, and if he insisted tbe case
would have to proceed, but he thought tbe only
proper way in this instance was to give the
plaintiff an opportunity to reply to his affidavits.
Ex-Jndgc Howland Your Honor, it is abso
lutely necessary to bave this case ended as soon
as possible. There is a desperate straggle
going on between the players and tbe plaintiff,
and the sooner the matter is settled the better
it will be for both sides.
Mr. Choate But we bave not seen your affi
davits, and cannot make a proper defense. We
mav want to serve a few additional affidavits
also;
Judge O'Btien How long, Mr. Choate, will
you require?
Mr. thoate A week from to-day.
Mr. Howland That will be satisiactory to us,
but they've got our thunder. I have just
banded tbem our briefs and they'll know as
much about our defense as we do.
Mr. Choate Ob, all we want is a shortstop.
His Honor and everybody else was much
amused at this remark. This ended tbe case
until next Thursday.
J0HNS0H THREATENS TO SUE.
He Means to Retaliate on the Deserters of
tbe Brotherhood.
The Cleveland Players' League clnb will pro
ceed legally against c?ery ball player who has
signed a contract with it and then signed with
the League club. Not only that, but suits will
also be brought against the players who signed
the original agreement and have since signed
with tbe League. This means thatZimmer.
McKean, Beatin and Uilks will be defendants
in suits at law.
President A L. Johnson said last night that
suits would surely be brought and that the
Players' .League will make all the trouble i:
possibly can for the men who bave deserted it
"I will go to the court," said Mr. Johnson,
show tbe agreement signed by these men.
promising to do certain things if 1 did others;
prove that I have kept my agreement in every
respect and bave gone into this thing in good
faith, and then ask the court to force the
players to do as they promised. I havo not tbe
slightest doubt I can hold every one of the
men. I showed the original agreement signed
by alt the men to a competent lawyer to-day
and he said it was as good a contract as was
ever drawn up and that tbe men have no show
of getting away." Plaindeater.
Gumberl's Boin Talk,
During a conversation yesterday Ad Gum
bert said that he means every word he says
when he demands absolute security for his
salary no matter with what clnb he signs. "I
have a lawyer," he said, "and be mnst be satis
fled that I am perfectly secured for every dol
lar toy contract calls for before I sign. This is
simply Dusiness and I am determined to look
after my own Interests first."

ilUXW I ore, January . vivii justice Peter
Mitchell received a telegram to-day from
Timothy Bchaefer Williams, Governor Hill's
Private Secretary, announcing that Governor

rants for the extradition of William E. Hard

KICK EKGEL IK TOWS.
He aad Charley Bray Talk Abont Base
ball and Pugilism.
Nick Engel, one of the most popular support
ers of the Players' Baseball League in New
York, accompanied by Charley Bray, one of Jl
L. Sullivan's backers, arrived in tbe city last
evening and located at the Hotel Anderson.
Mr. Engel is a hale and hearty middle-aged
gentleman, and has hosts of friends In this city.
Mr. Bray is a younger man, but has seen much
of the world.
During a conversation Mr. Engel stated that
there is no fear of the success of the new
league. "It will come out all right,'1 he said.
"We are fighting tbe National League's strong
est forces just now, and are beating them at
that. We have no fear of the injunction case,
because we are certain that tbe court will not
sustain the National League in its claims.
Ward is absolutely confident of the outcome,
and Ed Hanlon will be in Pittsburg to-morrow
morning." ,
Mr. Bray had much td say about John L.
Sullivan and others. During a conversation he
said: "Tbe big fellow is in good condition, but
the Rlcbburg case Is troubling him consider
ably. We all think now that it is Intended to
make matters warm for Sullivan and his
friends down in Mississippi. I really think tbe
appeal against the one year's sentence will be
useless. If it is. it is needless to talk about a
fight between Sullivan and Jackson for a long
time to come. Buliivan win go to T ew Or
leans next month, and if tbe appeal goes against
him he will take his medicine like a brave man.
If he has to do that it would be well In tbe
meantime for Jackson and Slavin to prove who
is the better man between them. Sullivan
need not be in first-class trim to settle either of
them, but I would like to see him meet the
best man there is."
Continuing, Mr. Bray said: "Jack Ashton
ought tp have defeated Godfrey easily in their
last fight had he taken Sullivan's advice. Ash
ton would not rush in and force tbe fighting
and, therefore, was beaten. I think Jack Mc
Auliffe will retire after bis fight with Carroll.
McAuliffeis weary of tbe business. He is a good
fighter, but only when somebody stands up ana
fights him. In this respect he is like Sullivan."
AK INTERESTING EACE.
Local Pedestrians to Have a 24-Hoar Go-n-You-Plene.
What promises to be an interesting pedes
trian contest has been arranged by the local
peds and their friends. After due considera
tion of the undertaking, it has been decided to
have a 14-hour go-as-you-please contest, that is
four hours per day for six days, commencing
January 20. Tbe race will take place in tbe
Palace Rink. East Liberty, and a track can be
made there of IS laps to the mile.
The race will be confined to residents of Al
legheny county, as tbe object is entirely to de
velop home talent and an object of this kind is
sure to meet the hearty appfoval of all
wbo patronize sporting events. It has
further been decided that each contest
ant Jput up T10 with tbe sporting editor of
The Dispatch not later than next Thursday.
Tbe winner of the race is to receive 63 per cent
of tbe sweepstakes and-the second man will re
ceive 35 per cent. The receipts are to be di
vided as follows: First, 40 per cent; second, 30;
third, 20, and fourth, 10 per cent. This arrange
ment is a capital one, as it insures fonr men
each a share of what promises to be a very
good amount of money. That there are some
good local pedestrians In and about the city
there Is no doubt and the race is certain to be
of a verv exciting kitid. Each evening it will
start at T F. x. and finish at 11 o'clock. At any
rate theie will be plenty of lively running.
Among the starters there will probably be:
E. C. McClelland, Ed Nikirk, E. Momger, Joe
Ridge. McCaffrey, of Woods Run; Andy Sie
bert, Heagerling, Southside, and Reddy Mason.
Others are expected to enter and can do so by
forwarding their entrance fee, 510, to this office

BROOKLYN SELECTED.
The Association Also Pnts a Clnb Into the
Church City.
rSFZCTAt. TXLZttHAX TO THE DICFATCH.l
New York, January 9. The American As
sociation is now ready for business. It has
decided to place, a club in Brooklyn, thus com
pleting their circuit. Messrs. Powers, Chap
man and Whitaker, the committee appointed
by .the American Association at the recent
meeting at Rochester to select an eighth club,
met at the Astor House to-day and decided to
admit a club from Brooklyn. The committee
had full power to act in tbe matter, and its
action is final. This leaves the Baltimore clnb
out in the cold, and it must sink or swim with
the Atlantic Association.
President Wallace, of the Rldgewood Exhi
bition Company, the owners of the grounds
upon which the Brooklyn clnb has been in the
habit of playing Sunday games, was at the
meeting, and said that his grounds would be
the finest in this part of tbe country when con
templated Improvements had been made. Tbe
new club will be run by a stock company, and
will have plenty of backing. Sunday and week
day gomes will he played, and 25 cents will be
the ruling price. The new club managers say
that the Brooklyn clnb cannot prevent their
putting a club in Rldgewood. for it is In
Queens county, while tbe Brooklyns have con
trol of Kings county only.
GREEN'S DENIAL.
lie Repudiates the story Abont Trottlne
Associations Consolidating.
.LEXTNOTOir, Ky January 9. President P. P,
Johnston, of the National Trotting Associa
tion, not seeing any contradiction from Presi
dent Green, of the American Association, that
the National bad proposed a consolidation,
wrote nim, asking if he had made any such re
marks. President Green replied on the 6th,
emphatically denying that he had ever used
any such language as that attributed to him.
Trotting horsemen here are very indignant
over the matter, and ono man Temarked to
night: "It looks strange that a reporter should
make Buch a mistake as Green insists has been
made. If be really said it, and it looks as If he
did, he ought to have manhood enough to
stand by bis words. If he did not. he ought to
have contradicted it without waiting for Presi
dent J ohnson to write to him." '

of the Seenlar Society who claims t: be one
of a party of half a dozen people invited to
a seance "at 91 River avenue, Allegheny, a

to give a performance.
Whether it was a bad night for spirits, or
whether Mr. Slade was incapable of pro
ducing the spirits, does not appear, but Mr.,
Hoover was dissatisfied with the attempt,
being an expert in spiritualistic sleight-of-hand.
He told Slade that the performance
was simply ridiculons, and he demanded
his money back. This was refused, and a
dispnte followed, in which the spirits could
not be induced to take Blade's part. Tbe
suit resulted and Slade. was arrested.

Bosroir, Jaaaary 9. Mr. J. A. St John;
Gaudaur's former backer, came to Boston to
day, and, lathe course of a chat with a re
porter, lie said: "That miserable deal be
tween the professional oarsmen has had the
effect of making me lose all interest in pro
fessional aquatics. I regret very much that
Gaudaur's partner, Hamm, had a hand in
such an affair,, and I believe that Teemer's
side of the house drew Gaudaur into it"
"What do you think of the professional
championship question?" the reporter asked.
"As I said before, I have washed my
hands of professional rowing, bnt I am not
averse to expressing an opinion in the mat
ter. I believe in Mr. Thayer's scheme for
the settlement of the championship ques
tion. I have read O'Connor's objection to
it in his letter, 'and I cannot agree with him.
O'Connor is the champion of America at the
present time, and what fs the title, worth?
He can't lny any beef with it. The only
way he can make money with it is to row.
If he wants the honor without a battle it is
advisable for him not to row, though I can
see no reason why he should fear any man in
a race.
"There are only two Americans who, in a
fair contest, would be np witb O'Connor at
the half-mile mark in a race Teemer and
Gaudaur. Han tan has seen his best days, I
believe, and woqld not be in a champion
ship race at anystasel He might be able
to train for a mile race, but it is extremely
doubtful if tie could do so successfully. The
other oarsmen in America wonld not be in
it with O'Connor, Gaudaur and Teemer,
and therefore it wonld be useless for them
to put up a forfeit in order to get a chance
at the championship. I know tbat Gaudaur
is very anxious for such a race as Mr.
Thayer proposes, and as I have been assured
that the race will not take place at the
Point ot Pines, he can be put down as sure
to enter it"

CONSUMPTION,
IN its first stages, can be successfully
checked by the prompt rise of AVer's '
Clierry Pectoral. Even" in. the later
periods of that disease, the cough is
wonderf ully relieved by this medicine.
"I have used Ayers Cherry Pectoral
with the best effect In my practice.
This wonderful preparation once saved
my life. I had a constant otrgh, night
sweats, was greatly reduced In flesh,
and given up by ray physioian. One
bottle and a naif of the Pectoral cured
me." A. J. Eidson, H. D., Middleton,
Tennessee. lj
" Several years ago I was sevenly HI.
The doctors said I was in consumption,
snd that they could do nothing fox me,
but advised me, as a last resort, to try
Ayers Cherry Pectoral. After takwg
this medicine two or three months JL
was cured, and my health, remains good l
to the present day." James Birchard, t
Darien, Conn. is
"Several years ago, on a passage lome 1
from California, by water, I contracted
so severe a cold that for some days I j
was confined to my state-room, and a i
physician on board considered my life
In danger. Happening to-have a bottle
of Ayert Cherry Pectoral, I used it
freely, and my lungs were soon restored
to a healthy condition. 'Since then I
have invariably recommended this prep, n
aration." J.B. Chandler, Junction, Ya
