The fact that baseball is not a paying busi
ness is becoming more apparent daily.
First the Texas League disbanded and the
International Association soon followed
suit, -while tiro clubs dropped out ot tbe
Tri-State, and teams left the race in other
minor organizations because they could not
draw money enough to pay salaries and run
sing expenses.
That which is true of tbe minor leagues
is equally true of tbe major organizations.
Scarcely one of tbe Association teams is
drawing money enough to pay cxpenses,and
in the National and Players' Leagues it is
probable that if the expenses had to be
taken in at the gate not a club would be able
to stand tbe pressure. BulTalo. of the Flayers',
and Pittsburg, of tbe National League, when
At home are not drawing the Guarantee, and it
is only the trips abroad that save them.
THE MEETING HELD.
Taking all these things into consideration, tbe
statement appearing in The Dispatch yester
day regarding an assessment being necessary in
tbe local Players' League team, did not canse a
great deal of surprise, though it was the chief
topic of conversation in baseball circles all over
the city. A meeting was held at W. P. Potter's
office, and a committee appointed to settle up
the business and dissolve tbe old limited co
partnership, as a charter bad been obtained for
a stock company. Accordiug to the statement
of 'gentlemen present this was tbe only busi
ness transacted, and no assessment was made.
Manager Hanlon made the statement that on
the last trip $1,000 hud been sent to President
McCallln, and tbe 60 a day story was wrong.
SOME FIGURES.
According to figures civen the press, tbe
three games at Philadelphia drew 2,667 people
at 25 cents a ticket. At Boston 4,134 people at
tended the tbree games. At Brooklyn 950 per
sons were present on the three days. At New
Tork tho three davs' attendance was 3,711. This
mates a total of 8.797 admissions at 50 ceutsand
2,667 admissions at 23 cents each. This would
amount to $5,004 25, and the local team's per
centage would be S2,53212. An average ot
one-third of tbe attendance usually goes in tbe
grand stand, and this would add sb44 to the
amount received by Pittsburg. If tbey sent
borne SI, 000 that would leave 1.776 for running
expenses for two weeks, or S12U a day. Iho
above figures are compiled from tbe attendance
as given to the press, and there is no doubt but
that both National and Plai era' League swell
their attendance.
WHAT MEANS THIS?
As to the truth of tbe statements printed by
The Dispatch yesterday morning nothing
more need be given than the interviews that
were secured. Manager Hanlon said that Colo
nel W. A. Stone and V. P. Potter had charge
of tbe matter, and that he had received his
notice of a meeting from them on Wednesday.
He referred the reporter to these gentlemen for
information. Tbe reporter had already been
to the residences of these gentlemen, and did
not bnd them at borne. It was learned yester
day that both bad gone East tbe fore part .of
tbe week, and consequently could not have
been at home to send out the notices or to give
out any information. Why did Manager Han
lon want to send The Dispatch on a "wild
goose chase" into Allegheny to find men who
were several hundred miles .East and not ex
pected back for a week T
ANOTHEB STATEMENT.
Yesterday afternoon a reporter called on
Moiris iiaer, a stockholder, and asked bini tbe
result of the meeting. Mr. Bier replied that
tbe meeting bad been held In Mr. Potter's
office, and that he (Mr. Potter) could give out
any information necessary. As before stated,
Mr. Potter was notarthe meeting. Tbeabora
statements ue given without comment, and
indeed none is necessary.
Tbe local National League team is also on
the down crade, so far as the financial part of
the affair is concerned, ana the moneyed men
make no show of denying it. They are able to
stand a loss and for tbat matter so are tbe
Players' League men. Tbere is plenty of room
for a good fight, even yet.

PUIXIKQ THE FOOL BOOMS.
A Fight Between Iho Race Tracks and City
Fifteen nt Chlcngo,
rSrXCTAL TKLEPRAM TO Till DISPATCTC.1
Chicago, July 24. When tbe Washington
Park races begun, last June, the pool rooms
in the city agreed to shut down until the races
were over, providing the Washington Park
Association would leave them alone the rest of
the year. Both sides observed the agreement.
When the Wcstside races began this week all
tho poolrooms reopened, and drew hundreds of
people to them who would otherwise have cone
to the park and paid the admission fee. This
so angered Ed Corrigan, who is at tbe head of
the West Park Association, that he Immediate
ly began war on the poolrooms.
Ho retained the Boland and Pinkerton detect
ive agencies to assist him in the fight, and for
nearly a week now everv room is "pulled" on
an average of 15 times a day. It costs Corrigan
t2 for every raid, and it costs gamblers $1 for
bail. To-day detectives and constables who
attempted to raid Hankln's place were as
saulted by a lot of plug-nglles. who had been,
kept in a closet for that purpose. Tbe officers
left tbo room badly beaten. Tbe raids will be
resumed to-morrow.
STJNOL'S FAST HALF.
The California Filly Hakes Wonderful TIrao
nt Detroit.
Detroit, July 24. At the conclusion of the
Horsemen's Expectation race to-day Marvin
came out with tbe celebrated Sunol (2:10)
and sent her a half mile, starting at the half
mile post. A running horse joined her at the
stretch to incite her to renewed effort. The
beautiful filly went from tbe half to the three
quarters like a streak, covering the distance in
81 seconds. Coming into the stretch Marvin
encouraged her by voice and whip.'and she
came under tbe aire moving like a macnine.
It was evident sbe had done a remarkably fast
half, but when Judge Campau announced tbat
the time was 1-02 tbe crowd yelled like mad.
Belle Hamlin is reported to have done a half
in this time, which is the fastest recorded for a
half mile.

Findlay, J uly 21 A romance in real life was

ment tbat Charles Russell, a young man ot 24
years, had eloped with Mrs. Henry Freed, a
portly matron nearing tbe half century mark
and the mother of an Interesting family, the
youngest of which is 10 years old. Behind the
fact of tbe elopement, is a story illustrating
the stringe pranks ,love often plays with its
victims. A year or more ago young Russell
met, and immediatey fell iu love with Miss
Anna Freed, a daughter of the woman with
whom he left the city this morning. Rusell
and Miss Kreed became engaged, and as the
lady was deservedly a favorite, and tbe; man
Considered worthy. tliR nnfrarrenient waa
looked upon as a happy one.
The couriship progressed rapidly and tbe day
for the wedding was fixed: the bride's trosseau
being in course of preparation when sbe was
suddenly taken sick with a malignant fever,
and after a month of struggle death became
the bridegroom and claimed and took his own.
The grief or the young man over the loss of his
promised wife was seemingly full and genuine,
and for weeks he mourned tbe beautiful girl
who had beeu taken from him.
Time, bowever, appears to have gotten In Its
usual healing treatment, for this morning Mr.
Russell ran away with the mother ot the young
lady who died one short year ago. Tbe an
nouncement of the flight' of the young man
with Mrs. Freed was a terrible shock to her
husband and children, as well as tbe friends of
tbe pair, who had not suspected tbe infatua

one has an idea as to whither tbey have gone,
and it is understood they will not be pursued.
Mrs. Freed carried away quite a sum of money
belonging to her husband.

NOTHING BUT A BLUFF
Capital Statesmen Not Alarmed by
tbe British Attitude Upon
THAT BEHBING SEA TROUBLE.
It Can be Settled by Arbitration Even if
Diplomacy Fails.
NEITHER COONTBX ANXIOUS TO FIGHT
tFBOM A BTATP CORRESPOlTDENT.J
"Washingtok, July 24. The publica
tion, of the correspondence between this
Government and that of Great Britain rela
tive to the Behring Sea dispute has aroused
much interest here. Considerable comment
was occasioned by the apparently belliger
ent attitude assumed by the British repre
sentatives, but the general drift of opinion
is to the effect that that tone was assumed
more 'for diplomatic effect than for any
reason of graver moment.
In other words England is credited, when
her representatives talk about holding the
United States responsible for any further
seizures, with a desire to witness the effect
of a "bluff." No one doubts that Sec
retary Blaine is fully capable of maintain
ing the prestige of this country, or that
matters will eventually be settled peace
fully and without bloodshed.
negotiations nr progress.
The negotiations between the two govern
ments are still progressing, and the resources
of diplomacy are capable of being sub
jected to a much greater strain than this
controversy has yet produced before there is
an open rupture. A gentleman occupying
a high position id the House of Representa
tives and wbo is also intimately associated
with the head of the State Department and
other diplomatic sources of information, but
who for that very reason does not desire to bo
quoted personally, said to-day to The DIS
PATCH correspondent: "I don't think there is
any immediate cause for alarm. I be
lieve, and the recent course of events
seem to support my belief, that an un
derstanding has been reached between tbe
State Department and the British Government,
by which there will be no further poaching on
our seal preserves by British or Canadian seal
ers, and consequently no more seizures of
British vessels, until tbe questions at issue be
tween the two countries have been amicably
adjusted. Tbe sealing season is now nearly
over and so Tar there has been no poaching or
seizure reported from Behring Sea, so I con
clude tbat the two powers have mutually
agreed to keep "hands off" pending a settle
ment. Anere is no aouot mat this is the wise
course to pursue, for to have fresh 'causes of
disagreement arising day after day at this
juncture could not fail to be mutually irritat
ing and to Increase the difficulties of reaching
a friendly understanding.
FICKLE LORD 3ALTSBUBY.
"I am very glad tbat the correspondence bas
been published. From a perusal of it tho pub
lio will be better able to appreciate the situa
tion. It shows tbat at one time in 1888 Lord
Salisbury was perfectly ready to admit the
truth of all our arguments and to conclude an
agreement on the lines upheld by Secretary
Blaine. But lust as It appeared that everything
was satisfactorily settled, Lord Salisbury drew
back suddenly. Ho had heard from Canada.
It is unquestionably true that at the time
negotiations between this country and England
upon this subject were abruptly broken off.
"After their subsequent renewal. Lord Salis
bury was not nearly so complaisant. He de
manded moro and was willing to grant less to
tbe United States, and he is now trying to se
cure an agreement with U3 on a basis of just
about half what be was willing to graDt in 18SS.
One of tbe prettiest pieces of dlaietical writing
in diplomatic correspondence 1 have ever seen
is that part of to-day's publication whero Mr.
Blaine picks up Lord Salisbury on his garbled
quotation from John Quincy Adams. This
correspondence also shows what tbe real claims
of the United States are not that tbe whole
Behring Sea was a closed sea, open only to tbe
commerce of the United States, but tbat the
seal fisheries within that sea belong exclusively
tu uid uniteu mates ana must not De poached
upon by unauthorized persons. The simile
which Mr. Blaine uses of tbe British pearl
fisheries on the coast of Ceylon is almost a
parallel case.
THE QUESTION AT ISSUE.
"The question at issue is wbetber we can
make such a preserve of these wild animals
and punish these poachers who take our seals
without our permission. For we claim that
they belong to us, whether found on the breed
ing Islands or in tbe open sea, because wo
bought and paid for them when we purchased
Alaska. England wants to arbitrate tho
auestion, and that proposition would un
oubtedly be agreed to by this coutry if onr
position was taken as the- modus Vivendi.
There should be no difficulty in arbitrating the
point as to whether a man should be permitted
to live on bis own farm, his cattle, his sheop,
his dogs or his seals."
Representative McCreary, of KentucKy, a
Democratic member of the House Committee
on Foreign Affairs, said tbat be believed the
subject would be eventually settled by arbitra
tion. "If," said he, "an amicable settlement of
the dispute cannot be obtained by means of
diplomatic correspondence, England and tbe
United States, knowine each other's powers so
well, will not seek war, but will submit the
matter to the proper arbitrators."
Representative Farquhar, Chairman of the
Committee on tbe Merchant Marine and Fish
eries, which a year ago held a lengthy investi
gation into the fur seal fisheries of Alaska, said
tbat a couple of years ago, before be had ex
amined into the subject, be bad felt a little un
easiness about tho trouble that might possibly
arise over this question.
NOTHING OFFENSIVE MEANT.
"Now, however," said he, "lam sure that En
gland means nothing offensive. The matter
won't even come to arbitration, in my opinion,
but will just drift along in statu quo. Of
course, tbere will be a letter occasionally pass
ing between tho State Department and tho
British legation. They will have to do that,
you know, for appearance's sake. England
now gets as much from the Behring Sea seal
fisheries as does tbe United States. London is
the center of tbe fur curing trade of tho world,
and British workmen get dollai for dollar with
tbe United States from tbe fisheries. England
is not going to destroy that source of income.
Her diplomacy is In her purse. She knows
better than to cnt off so profitable a source of
trade as the Behring Sea seal fisheries have
been to ber. Oh, no; tbere may be some diplo
matic reason behind ber attitude on this ques
tion, but it will not injure tbe interests of tbe
United States in those waters. By the way, tbe
phrase which makes some people nervous in
this correspondence, 'Her Britanic Majesty's
Government must hold tbe Government of the
United States responsiblo for the consequences,
etc,' is not so bloodthirsty as it appears. It
has tho same significance in diplomacy as tho
lawyer's phrase, 'I reserve that point.' "
A DELICATE NATURE.
Representative Chipman, of Michigan, be
lieved that the situation in Europe was of too
delicate a nature to permit England to embroil
herself with the United States just now. Rep
resentative Stahlnecker, of New York, admits
tbat his State would be largely the battle
ground in case of war, but dues not bcllevo
tbere is any danger of a ruction. He says:
"England cannot fight the United States, lor
tbo reason tbat tbe two nations are naturally
the peacemakers between tbe large powers of
the world. Yoa might also imagine bow many
Irishmen in this country would gladly take this
cause up as their own. and the natural result
of such earnest soldiers, coupled with tbe
Yankee instincts, which make tbem as ready to
fight as eat. would make short work of England.
Tbe United Stales is in tbe best of condition to
fight Eugland. While sho does not wish to
urge some one to step on ner coat talis lor
flgnt the dignity of our country must and will
always be preserved. I don't, however, think
tbat the case will go any inrtner tnan arbitra
tion, and be fairly settled. Mr. Blaine is a
natural diplomat, able to cope with any of tbe
gentlemen on tbe other side of the Atlantic,
and I think Is too sensible to make a mistake
either In being too slow or too fast."

BOON FOB TENNIS PLAYEES.
A Machine That Will Ciena Balls aad Make
Them Good as New.
That lawn tennis balls get unsightly with
use qnd also lose (in part) their power of re
bounding, so that accuracy of play inter
fered with is well known to all players.
But at the same time good balls are expen
sive and all clubs cannot afford to be per
petually renewing them. The new lawn
tennis ball washing machine is thereiore
likely to have a very wide sphere of useful
ness, as it not only cleans the balls, but
turns them out practically as good as new.
The machine consists of a circular box in a
rounded channel of which the balls lie. A
cover screws down from above, so that the
cleaning is done uuder tight pressure.
Water is introduced by a tube and iunnel
through a handle, and issues when done
with, through the waste pipe. Tbere is an
aperture at the top for introducing a prepa
ration of soft soap and methylated spirits.
When the cover is turned round the balls
are cleaned, under pressure of the wood
above and below. The general objection to
washed balls is that the covers are slackened
and the rebounding power is lessened. By
ine new device, however, the bails are
"milled," or shrunk, so that the coverings
are actually tightened, and the ball is posi
tively restored and renewed as well as
washed. The machine acts on every part of
the ball, it is very easy to work, it has no
loose parts, and is not liable to get out of or
der; while the working parts being easily ac
cessible, no dirt need remain in the machine.
The cover of the machine is instantly
secured when placed over the balls, and
pressure is automatically aoplied on turn
ing the handle. Six balls, or any Jess num
ber, can be cleaned at one time, in two
minutes. No chalk or other whitening
powder is reqnired, and there is no dust
raised in the process.
THE SEAT OF CHABACTEB.
Removal of the Frontal Parts of the Brain
Docs Not Affect the Body.
Modern physiologists regard the frontal
part of the brain as the seat of character and
intellect. After the removal of this part in
dogs and monkeys, no paralysis of any
muscles or loss ot sensibility occurs, but
singular changes in the behavior, emotions
and character of the animals have been ob
served. They become livelier, restless, im
patient, irritable, quarrelsome and violent.
Their movements seem purposeless, and
their attention to what is going on around
them and their intelligence are diminished.
These observations have been confirmed in
the case of human beings.
