THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, TUESDAY, MARCH 18, 1890.
6
LOCAL RIVALS MEET,
talon, Tener and O'Neill
Have a Hot Argument.
SOME EACY THINGS SAID.
Beckley Declares He Has Kot Re
ceived Scandrett's Check.
THE SPORTING NEWS OP THE DAT
J. Palmer O'Neill, of the old club, and
Messrs. Hanlon and Teaer, of the new club,
hare a long argument regarding the base
ball conflict. Beckley states that he has not
received the check that he sent for to the old
club. Anson states that he has the best
team he ever had. Nearly 20 well-known
young men enter for the local amateur foot
race.
Probably the present baseball conflict in
many of its bearings was never more inter
estingly discussed than yesterday in Al
Pratt's store. Thedisputants were J. Palm
er O'Neill a director of the old club, on the
one side and Manager Hanlon and Secre
tary John Tener on the other. The two par
ties met accidentally and the leeling dis
played was of the best as far as good natnre
was concerned. Mr. O'Neill is a fluent
talker and a Tery intelligent gentleman on
baseball matters. Uis declarations and
opinions make him also an extremely lib
eral minded man. Of course the Beckley
affair was the first subject referred to and as
soon as it was mentioned Mr. O'Neill said:
mil. O'Neill's bemarks.
Well, Beckley may have left us. I didn't
think that he would, because I certainly looked
upon him as an honest man. But if be has
gone I say by all means let him stay. I would
not either bylaw or anything else try and in
duce him back; in fact I would not under any
circumstances whatever, re-engago him were I
President of the club. No such men are hon
orable enough for a club that I am interested
in."
Manager Hanlon said: "Didn't yon sign
Beckley when he had already signed a contract
with us?"
"No, sir; I maintain that he had no contract
with you. He may have signed an agreement,
but even the conditions of that agreement were
not fulfilled by you, so tht he had not by any
means a contract with you. He took our
money, and he has used it I think an intelli
gent public only need know that about Beckley.
Xt'e can live without him, and by that 1 don't
mean he is a bad player. He is a good one."
ABOUT THE BROTHERHOOD.
The argument then turned to the formation
of the Biotherhood, and Manager Hanlon said:
"Now, I can tell you that there never would
have been a Brotherhood at all had John L
Rogers not been in the League. He was never
a players' friend, and opposed everything that
was fair toward us. His actions caused us to
orcanize."
Mr. O'Neill That is all nonsense. Xou said
that you had numerous grievances, and these
very grievances you speak of have made many
of you rich. The courts have decided that the
reserve rule is no good. AVo have paid $10,000
or $12,000 to find that out and it is worth it
But let me tell you that the reserve rule was
the best friend of the players. Tell me a player
w hose services were ever sold to another club
who did not receive more money by the trans
fer. Mr. Tener But were all players transferred
as they wished?
COULDN'T DO OTHERWISE.
Mr. O'Neill Why, we couldn't do otherwise,
because we could not force a man to go to
another club against his will, and if we did not
v ant to keep him we were bound togivehim
his unconditional release.
Mr. Tener How about Rowe and White and
Gunning?
Mr. O'Neill Well, now the case of Rowe and
White was exceptional, because they belong to
a disbanded clnb, and I know little about the
case of Gunning. But let me give you an
illustration of that rule. Last season we had
Dunlap, and Mr. Hanlon urged us to release
him, claiming that a cheaper and as able a
player could Le secured. We did not want to
do that and we preferred to keep him and try
to dispose of him with advantage to himself
and ourselves. The reserve rule enabled us to
keep him on our list and it is easy to see that
ibe rule was advantageous to him as well as
to us."
Manager Hanlon Well, the law has shown
the reserve rule to be illegal.
Mr. Tener True, bnt you didn't know that
before, no more than I did. Everjone of you
signed your contracts fully convinced that you
were rigned to play with us for two years at
least if we desired vou."
"Withm the limits of the national agree
ment" remarked Mr. Hanlon.
A CASE IK POINT.
Mr. O'Neill No, no. That was never in
tended. I will prove it A League pitcher,
now a member of the Brotherhood, was asked
his terms last summer by wire, and he replied
that he would play the balance of the season
for S1.C00 if he was not reserved, and he
requested $1,500 if he was reserved.
The latter price was given him,
and do you thine that it would
had been paid bad it been commonly under
stood that the word reserve did not cover all
clubs in the country? Let ma tell you how
ever, the beginning and the end of the Broth
erhood. J ohnM. Ward is fond of advertising,
and be. will manage bis wife next winter when
she goes on the stage. Well, John thought the
Brotherhood a good advertising medium."
Managet Hanlon resented this latter
opinion in verv strong terms and so did Mr.
Tener. Mr. O'Neill somewhat modified his
statement by saying that it was his own opin
ion and that he might be mistaken.
THE NATIONAL AGREEMENT.
The national agreement was then discussed,
and Mr. O'Neill said: "Let me tell you that
you cannot get alODg without a national
agreement of some kind. The present one may
be faulty, but there must be one of some kind.
Years of experience has led up to this
conclusion. The League and the Brotherhood
cannot both exist because there will not be a na
tional agreement between them. One of us
must go, and if we go I will get out of a losing
business. Already I have sunk $15,000 In it and
don't like to he kicked out I can be bought
out, and 1 will not be kicked out as long as I
have a dollar. If the League Is downed de
pend upon it the baseball players will have lost
the organization that has made everj'one of
them and they will have lost employers who have
given them manv thousands of dollars. 1 have
no fear. We will have a good club; just as
good as we ever bad."
ABOUT THAT CHECE.
Beckley Wires to Nimick That lie Did Nat
RccrWe It.
During a conversation yesterday afternoon
President Nimick said:
I have received a telegram from Beckley
which reads: 'I haven't received check. I am
with the boys. Now 1 don't know who he
means by the boys. He has not officially
notified us abont his change of mind, if he has
changed it after nsing our money, lie says he
has not received the check we sent meaning
the check for SD0. Well, I think wo'll prove
different The postoffice authorities will soon
settle that matter. Beckley's actions are very,
very strange, but it is better to viait awhile."
S. H. Larogue and H. Youngman. two of the
61d local club, arrived yesterday. J. Kelty will
arrive to-day. The youngsters are going to
work with a will, and certainly they are an
enthusiastic lot of young men. It will indeed
be strange if some of them do not blossom into
first-class players. Manager Hecker thinks
highly of many of them.
Scornlnle All Right.
ffPTXIAI. TKtEBRAM TO THE DISPATCH I
Scottdale, March 17. Scottdalo will have a
good team in the proposed new Amateur
League, which formation seems assured, as a
number of contingencies have been removed.
Martin, first base: Miller, right field, and
Geyer, catcher and first base, will play with
the home team the coming season, ftinebart,
who will play with the Easton Inter-State
League Club, and Manafee, who will pitch tor
the Erin club, of the New York and Pennsyl
vania League, are in the pink of condition.
They are practicing daily.
ANSON'S LUCK.
He Has a Great Team of Young Baseball
Players.
Judelns from what J. Palmer O'Neill said
yesterday Anson has a great team of ball play
ers this season. Mr. O'Neill's remarks were:
"Anson sends Mr. Spalding a letter every
week for publication and he sends a few pri
vate opinions also. Among the latter a few
days ago I read Anson's opinion to tho follow
ing effect: 'I have the finest team 1 have bad
since I have managed a Chicago team. 1 tell
you there are some great ball players in the
nine. I think that Cooney is one of the finest
players in the country. The young men are all
good ones.' Now this goes "to show that the
old "stars' will not have in future the grip on
the market that they have had in the past
Certainly the young men will develop just as
those of the past have."
Mr. O'Neill stated that he is not bere on
baseball business at all.

Alons; Nicely.
Ottavca, March 17. Hon. C. H. Tnpper,
Minister of Marino and Fisheries, is expected

the most satisfactory nature. Matters have
proceeded so far that before tbe next step is

A SERIOUS MISTAKE.
Much mischief Is done in the treatment of
constipation. Tbe common opinion is that all
Indications are fulfilled If medicine forces un
loading of the bowels. A great error. Medi
cine simply purgative corrects no morbid con
dition, consequently their use is followed by
greater costiveness. A remedy, to be effectual
and permanent, must be composed of tonic, al
terative, corrective and cathartic properties.
These aro admirably combined in Dr. Tutt's
Liver Pills. They will, in a short time, cure all
the sufferings that result from inactive bowels.
They give tone to the intestines, stimulate the
secretions, and correct imperfect functional
action of the stomach and liver.
