STILL NOT SETTLED.
Tie Old League May
Haye Eight Clubs.
Yet
WHAT NICK YOUNG SAYS.
Ad. Gnmbert Agrees to go With the
Boston Players.
THE SPORTING HEWS OP THE DAY
President N. E. Young, of the National
League, states tbat two League schedules
may be made out, one for eight and the
other for teD clubs. Ad. Gumbert agrees to
Bo with the Boston Players' club. Pitcher
Blair is seriously ill. Spalding talks about
Gumbert's case.
ferrciAi. tklxobax to the dispatch.!
Washington, February 13. The next
official bulletin issued from League head
quarters will contain a call for the meeting
of the Schedule Committee in Cleveland,0.,
on March i. President Young says the
coming meeting is similar to that recently
held in New York City, as it is simply an
adjourned meeting of the League at which
any business relating to the national game may
be transacted. In addition to arranging tbe
schedule for the coming season the appoint
ment of tbe staff of umpires will be announced
and all of the preliminaries for opening the
campaign will be arranged.
AIT OFFEB WITHDRAWN.
Mr. Young has jnst receired a letter from
Mr. Howe, of Cleveland, stating that the
League club in that city has w ithdrawn its offer
to sell out to Detroit and proposes to remain in
the League, sink or swim. Mr. Brush has
written to Mr. Vonng assnnng him that there
Is nothing in the rumor floating about in base
ball circles to the effect that the Hoosier team
is to be transferred to New York. Mr. Young
does not hesitate to say that be expects to hear
all kinds of sensational reports concerning tbe
membership of the League until after the
March meeting is held and the playing schedule
is promulgated
NO SUGGESTIONS HADE.
He says he has not receired a word or a sug
gestion from any member of the committee on
the subject, and be does not know whether
they are making up the schedule for eight or
ten clubs. They may prepare two separate
schedules to enact either emergency, and It
will be competent for the League to determine
which shall be adopted. As tbe coming meet
ing is really a continuation of the annual meet
ing, the membership can be changed if neces
sary and any other legitimate business in con
nection with tbe League, present or future,
may be transacted.
It is eTident from Mr. Young's remarks that
if there is any deal on foot he is not aware of
it, and he does not like to belleTe that he would
be ignored if anything of the kind was contem
plated. KICKS A LITTLE STR0KGER.
Old League People Scoring a Point on tbe
Brotherhood.
New Toss, February 13. Director "Walter
Appleton, of the New York League Baseball
Club, returned from Elmira this morning, and
to a crowd of newspaper men hinted that Dan
Richardson, tbe famous secund baseman, would
sign a League contract and play in his old posi
tion this season. Mr. Appleton said also that
Mice Kelly will sign a Leagne contract within
two weeks. Among tbe Players' League men
there is a disposition to stamp tbe whole affair
as a League oluff, designed to work distrust
among the players and thus weaken their or
ganization. "Danny is as solid ase. rock'' said a Brother
hood man, "and as for Mike Kelly, the League
magnates can't touch him."
League adherents on the other hand declared
that if Richardson had not posltirely signed he
had given bis word to Mr. Appleton to stand by
tbe old club. In baseball circles here there a
considerable talk about tbe members of the
Players' League now in this city and in Chi
cago. It is noted that these old players are ap
parently resting on their "reputation," as ball
players, ana mat tney are all in high flesh and
living "sumptuously every day." while the
League Chicago team headed by Anson are
already in perfect form, and are on the road
"playing ball." It is also said that it will be
impossible for the Players' League men to get
in "ball form" by the time the season opens,
and that many of them will commence the sea
son fat and heavy, and in no shape to compete
with athletes who have been under the rigid
discipline of the League management, and in
all other respects fitted for good ball playing.
WHAT SPALDING SATS.
He Thinks That Gnmbert li a Little Too
Greedy.
Chicago, February 13. Relative to the re
port that Pitcher Gumbert had refused the
Chicago club's offer Mr. Spalding said to-day
that be had a conversation with Gumbert at
tbe Pittsburg depot while he (Spalding) was on
bis way West from the League meeting. He
offered Gumbert the same salary that he re.
ceived last year, which was $2,500, cr about 70
a game for every game he pitched.
"I consider this." said Mr. Spalding, "a lib
eral salary, and told Gumbert that I would not
pay him more, althoogh he Intimated to me
that he wonld sign for $3,600. Gumbert is
placed in a peculiar position. He has too in
telligent an idea as to tbe kind of contract be
wants should he conclude to sign with tbe
Brotherhood, and is a little too greedy to sign
with us. Possibly be may decide to accept my
offer ot $2,500, though 1 believe I have secured
as good man in young Blair, who pitched last
season in Hamilton."
WILL BENEFIT PATE0NS.
A Kew Entrance Gate for the Old Clnb Ball
Gronnds.
The directors of the old League clnb of this
city are figuring on making an entrance gate
and turnstile at the Pennsylvania avenue
corner of Recreation Park. This will enahle
patrons of tbe ball games to leave postofflce
corner on the electric cars and be at the ball
grounds in 9 minutes. Undoubtedly this will
be a great advantage to the patrons of the
National Leagne games.
Manager Hecker arranged dates for exhibi
tion games as follows: With the East End
Athletics, at Recreation Park, April 2 and 3:
with Wheeling, at Recreation Park, April 9
and 10; at Wheeling April 11 and 12. The
players of tbe old club will report next month,
and each as he reports will commence active
exercise.
GDMBEET FOR BOSTON.
The Yonng East End Pitcher Joins the Bos
Ion Players' Team.
An evening-paper yesterday stated, on what
appears to be reliable authority, that Ad Gum
bert has arranged to pitch for the Boston
Brotherhood or new League club. He was
anxions to remain in the new League and
doubtless Boston has made term? with Chicago
about his release. Boston will get a very good
and promising pitcher and batter.
Gumbert would have made a good member
for the new local clnb and it is a pity that a
very unfortunate difference prevented his sign-
ing with Manager fianlon. Tbe latter claims
tbat everything could have been fixed had
Gumbert only talked to him. Hanlon, instead
of talking to many others.
Carroll's Sensible View.
Fred Carroll talked rery pointedly and forci
bly about the AIcKean case yesterday. Carroll
supports the opinions of Ward, Brunei! and
others, which are to tbe effect that the new
League can get along without McKean or any
man ot bis tendency of mind. If McKean is
reinstated, there is no reason why a man like
Tucker should not be induced to return to the
new League.
Plicber Blair Very IIU
Pitcher Blair, of tbe East .End, was ex
tremely ill yesterday. His sickness has devel
oped into a malignant attack of typhoid fever.
He has been unconscious for two days. His
friends and physicians bope for tbe best, al
though be is in a very critical state.
Ansen at fit. Augustine.
St. Auoubttwe, FlAm February 18. Cap
tain Anson and 18 men of the Chicago League
team arrived here this evening and will play
tbe first game to-morrow with the home team,
which has been reinforced by several prof es-ionsjs.-

'SPECIAL T.I r.OBAM TO THS DISPATCH.!
Boston. February 13. In dlscussine Ben
nett's signing with tbe Boston League Club1
this afternoon, Secretary Hart, of the Players'
League club, said:
"There is not the slightest truth in tbe pub
lished statement that Bennett demanded tbat
tbe salary offered him bv tbe Boston Players'
clnb should be guaranteed by some responsible ,
party. In all of bis communications with Us he .
never demanded or suggested such a thing.
He always expressed the utmost confidence in
the Players' movement, and was willing to put
his money in it when I saw bim in Detroit. '
He did not suggest any guarantee for his sal
ary and I did not offer him any. I have not the
slightest hard feeling against Bennett I am
satisfied that had he been a single man he
would have signed with us long ago. His sym
pathies have been with us from the start but
he could not withstand the immense pressure
brought to bear on him by tbe old club, by his
friends in Detroit and by Mrs. Bennett her

"Washington, February 13. The Presi
dent to-day sent to the Senate several nomi
nations to postoffices in the western part of
Pennsylvania, all of which have been pre
viously indicated in these dispatches. He
settled the fight over the 'Washington, Pa.,
Postoffice by nominating Congressman Bay's
man, William H. Underwood. This is the
office to which Secretary of State Blaine de
sired the appointment of bis relative,
Samuel Ewing. Mr. Bay does not know
whether this support was withdrawn from
Samuel and transferred to his brother John,
who is understood to be desirous of occupy
ing the position of Surveyor of Customs at
the port of Pittsburg. Bnt if Mr. Blaine'
was really anxious to have one of these two
relatives appointed to one of these respect
ive positions, Mr. Underwood's appoint
ment to-day may complicate the situation
with regard to the surveyorship.
Mr. Bav is congratulating himself on
having safely landed his man after a delay
of four months, and is not troubling himself
about the effect his success in this case may
have upon the appointments in another part
of the State. Mr. Bobert McWhinney's
nomination as postmaster at Homestead
was also in the list, and Mr. Bay is not an
ticipating any trouble over his confirma
tion. Both of Representative Watson's
recommendations, mentioned in these
dispatches last night, were acted
upon favorably and Messrs. Wm. M.
McKim and Henry H. Evans will soon be
dispensing stamps and money orders at the

spondents are those as to which the majority of
tbe English public has already pronounced its
own informal verdict of guilty.
Nothlac New Is True.
The Chronicle says:
Tbe report confirms the impression made
upon calm observers by the violent and noisy
"Paraellism and Crime" articles when they
first apDeared that what was new in them
was not true: The report will be
satisfactory to the English people
for as tbe leaders of both the great parties in
tbe State interfered with Parnell and tried to
buy his support it wonld bave been painful to
discover that the Parnell party nad been guilty
of crimes which should bave made it impossi
ble for decent men to hold intercourse
with them. The report may be summed np in
a sentence: Tbe Parnellltes bare done and
said nothing more reprehensible than a Salis
bury and Carnarvon knew tbey had
done when the latter negotiated with
them an alliance tbat placed the
Government in the bands of the Tories.
The Timet case has tumbled down like a house
ot cards. Tbe history of "Parnellism and
Crime," from its birth to its burial in
this report, is the history of the most
colossal fiasco la tbe political Journalism
of the Victorian era. The special value of the
report Ues in the candor with which it states
not only of what charges tbe respondents are
innocent, but also of which they are guilty.
The Report Scrupulously Fair.
The Standard dwells upon the scrupulous
fairness of the report and the determination
with which the judges gave the accused the
benefit of every possible doubt It hopes
that those who had cast inneudoes upon
their impartiality are now ashamed of them
selves. It then says:
We may say generally that while the verdict
favors the accused upon a few of the most
heinous charges in support of which but few
people expected tbat any proof would be
brought, there are more than enough behind
to substantiate all that has been generally
believed of the connection between home
rulers and conspiracies against the law, and to
bring borne to the respondents at tbe same time
tbe moral responsibility for tbe worst crimes
committed by tbe League and its agents.
If Parnell condemned crime in one breath be
encouraged it in another. Whatever his sup
porters may say in tne House or commons tne
Independent public win form bat one opinion
of the conduct that three impartial Jndges so
severely censured.

A Discussion Upon Britain's Foreign Rels.
lions In the House of Commons.
London, February 13. In the House of
Commons Sir James Fergusson said that
negotiations on the fishery question were

under favorable auspices. He denied tbat
England was under any obligation in re
gard to Armenia beyond that of using her
influence to secure a proper trial ot the
case against Moussa Bey, and of securing
better treatment for the Christians ot that
country.
Mr. Bryce, dealing with foreign questions
generally, gave the whole credit for any
benefit accruing to British subjects in Samoa
to the spirited action of the United States.
He trusted the Government might be able
to induce Tnrkey to give self-government to
Crete, as-tbe only way to avert another
rebellion, which wonld involve Greece cer
tainly, and perhaps Europe.

TO PREVENT SLEEPLESSNESS USE
ROGERS' ROYAL
NERVINE
There is a glass lamp chim
ney so tough that it almost
never breaks in use. It is of
the finest glass; it is also per
fect in form and action.
The glass costs several
times as much as common
glass. The chimney costs two
or three times as much as
others to make; the dealer, of
course, has to pay for it; but
he can afford to sell it as
usual. Some object to it
"Can't afford to sdl it," they
say; but they can. It brings
good will of more value than
all their brittle-chimney profits
good proht besides.
