TELEGEAM TO TBI DI6PATCH.1 2? ew York, October 10. A serious hitch has occurred in the efforts of the rival baseball magnates to effect a compromise. The National League members and sop porters and those ot the American Associa tion desire in the event of a consolidation of the Players' League and Association that the new organization be named the Ameri can Association. To this the P. L. magnates most strongly object and their objections are so strong that no compromise will be effected if the name "Players' L-eajrue" is not retained. This feature of the business has been the leading topic under discussion in the hotel corridors to-day. Several of the K. L. magnates are at present inclined to insist on any new organization that may be formed being called the American Association. This matter is merely one of sentiment, and good supporters and advocates of peace think that as soon as a solid plan of compromise is formulated this sentimental difficulty will vanish. DID LITTLE WORK. The delegates to the National Baseball League Convention went into session again this moraine at the Fifth Avenue Hotel to hear the report of the committee which con ferred last evening with committees from the Players' League and American Association. There was a. lull attendance of the Rational League proper. A. G. bpalding, in conversation to-aay. said that there was a disposition on the part of the Rational League people to look at this matter of a union from a fair business standpoint, and if they can arrive at some solution they are all disposed to sacrifice something for the good of the baseball business. He said they wished to bring baseball back to its former glory. Jlr. Bpalding declared that the Rational League people realize that there is a sort of pressure from the public press and baseball-goers to bring this work to a close, and they are going to assist in this good work. They do not favor any temporary arrangement, but want some thing permanent. At present they have no idea of what will be done, bnt suggestions will be made and received between now and the 22q of October, at which time there is to be anotner conierence. GOOD CIRCUITS NAMED. The morning conference of the Presidents of the Rational League continued until 1 o'clock, when an adjournment was had to meet on the evening of October 22, when they shall receive the report of their committee, which meets that day at noon, with the committees from the other leagues. This was the sub stance of all they had to report, and the mem bers attending the conference had little to say on the situation. A G. Spalding thought that some satisfactory agreement would be easily made within a month's time. In the meantime the ba-eball managers w ill see what can be done in the various cities. There was a good deal of talk indulged in as to what could be accomplished, hot no person seemed to have any idea of what would be done. Many think that quite probablv two major leagues will be formed, and the proposi tion madeyesterday by Allen V. Tburnianjr., is quite generally discussed. This proposition is to have two major leagues. In the first would be Boston, Brookin. New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus and Indianapolis: and in the second Boston, Philadelphia. Baltimore, Washington. Cincin nati, Pittsburg, Louisville and St. Louis. The Association clubs in Rochester. Toledo and fcyracuse could go back into the International League. In the next two weeks many proposi tions will be made, and tnere is little doubt but that some satisfactory arrangement will be made, for there is a disposition on the part of all to take some action that will settle all these troubles which exist at present among the base ball players. George K. Frazer, President and Manager of the Syracuse club, was at the hotel this morn ing. He, with other Association people, does not think that the American Association will ever join the Brotherhood. He is confident that the national agreement will not be violated. A TALK WITH WABD. With all due respect to the business quali fications of E. B. Talcott, Wendell Goodwin and Al Johnson, who represented the Players' League at the conference held at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, the general impression seemed to be among the supporters of that organization that John tVard had a deal to say regarding the movements of those gentlemen while they were confe -'ng with the National League magnates, and furthermore nothing will be accomp ished without the Sanction of the Brooklyn Platers' League club's manager. Ward said to a DlS TATCH reporter to-day that he was willing to submit to anything that was reason able to effect a settlement, "It is a mistake to think." said he, "that I was anxious to have a conference with the Rational League magnates. I knew no more of the intentions of our men than you did until I received a dispatch in Pittsburg to the effect that 1 was wanted in Rew York. When I got here and was told of the intentions oi the men who were behind the Plavers' League clubs my advice to them when I beard that the Rational League objected to any of the Players' pi esence in the conference was to go ahead and do what they thought best. That's ray leeling now. and I have the utmost confidence in our representatives that they will do only that which will be for the best in terests of the game. I dnn't want to be under stood that the matter is settled by any means. Mr wish is that it may be, that's all." Mr. Johnson said he w.is perfectly willing to sell his club to Messrs. Howe and Robinson in Cleveland and take hold of the Cincinnati club, of which he is part owner. He said that he would pay these gentlemen a visit and talk over matters as soon as he returns home.

He also said that he bad wired Manager Frazier in the morning that he would protest the games un less his claim was satirhed. Manager Power ws much put out at this treatment and said Messrs.

MORE RECORDS LOWERED. Hamlin's Great Team Goes a Mile in 2il5 An Eventful Say on the Terre Haute Track. Terbe Haute, October Id Two more world records are nailed to the mast that files the Terre Haute Trotting Association flag. An other day, perfect in its autumnal splendor and in its sport, marked the last day of the great fall meeting, a meet ing that in the expressed opinion of such horsemen and breeders as Budd Doble, Omn Hickok, John Splan, Colonel J. W. Co ely. C. J. Hamlin and others, eclipses all harness events, not only in the sport offered, the interest manifested by large attendance but in its effect Interests all. Having driven Bell Hamlin and Globe a half mile Tuesday ic 16K. Mr. Hamlin concluded that he would go against the record to-day with this team. After one score . the team took the ward, troinc strong. Globe not being able to make the short turns handily, went to a break and there brougnt bank for another effort, and they got the word. They are taken back at the turns, and are only rushed in the four stretches. The mile was made in 2:16. It was then announced tbat within an hour Belle Hamlin, with Jutina as mate, would be driven by W. J. Andrews against the world's record. Promptly the great team was brought out and after scoring several times to get the hang of them, having never driven them before, Andrews nodded for the word. Mindful of the turn. Andrews let tnem go easy and to the quarter pole in 34. Row he lets them have their heads and to the half in 1.-0SK, and a murmur goes up from the throng "It can't be done." But the dnve has com menced, and with their tails floating like banners in the breeze, another link is let out, the third quarter being done in 33 sec onds. Still a limit to their speed has not been reached, as with flying feet they turn for home. Without a skip or wabble the mile is done strong in 2:15. Another world's record stands to the credit of the Terre Haute track. Three rousing cheers were given for the great team, three more for the superb driver, three more for tbe breeder, C. J. Hamlin, and three more for the Terre Haute track and its President. W. P. Ijams. The second world's record of the day and tbe fifth of tbe week was the average time for 43 heats in class races of 2:19. In tbe unfinished 2:18 trot the remaining two heats went to Mocking Bird.

Is by the long cross-country races of the various college hare and hounds clnbs.
