BMITH, OF DENYEB, A BIG FAILURE.
Jicfoen'j Driw Witt Qoditrf ProTts i Toy Icjorttnt
rsttAbctt EnlliTin.
Although it seems certain that there Trill
be no Players' League next season there is
still some uncertainty as to how matters will
be finally fixed up. The work of burying
the P. L. is a much harder task than any of
its friends or foes anticipated. Of course, it
is dead to all intents and purposes, hut it is
sot entirely buried yet and there may be
considerable unpleasantness before the re
mains ot the P. L. are forever laid aside.
I only say there may be and, of course,
that implies there may not be.
But more on this point presently. The
week has been somewhat quiet in baseball
circles, as nothing definite of any great im
portance has been done. There has been
plenty of talk as to changes that are to be
made when everything is settled down. Of
course many changes are needed, but there
are more being talked of than can possibly
be made during one winter. Director
O'Neill is authority for the statpment that
next season the visiting clnbs may have SO
per cent of the receipts. A change of
this kind will be a beneficial one to
Pittsburg, and I may add several other
cities. I have always claimed that a pre
ponderance ot argument is in favor of an
equal division of the receipts among ail the
clnbs in the Rational League, that if, for
each visiting club to have an equal share
of the receipts during its games. If this
plan is adopted it will be a change in the
X. L., although it was in operation in the
P. Xi. last season. Anv organization that
has within its membership one member who is
clearing large sums a&nially while another is
losing fast, cannot exist in liarmonv, and,
therefore, with success. An equal division
would prevent this difficulty.
Consolidation Difficulties.
In the preceding paragraph I remarked
about the difficulties that may occur before
everything in the big baseball deal Is settled.
The difficulties I refer to are possible, and I
will not be astounded if the stands, etc, of both
Corporation Park and Recreation Part are
sold at public auction. Kow I want to be un
derstood as only saving that such result is pos
sible. I don't saj that It ill take place, lam
informed that each of the local clubs has debts
standing against it. Then comes the question
of who will pay thee debts; There are stock
holders whs have only their original stock and
bo have not paid up their subsequent assess
ments. They Kill insist on bavins tbeir stock
acknowledged m the new concern, bat
tbey Mill not advance another dollar
toward paying off the existing debts of
their ciub. If a state of things like
this transpires, and depend upon it, it is pos
sible, what will be the result? Why, those
who are wishful to pay up all claims and go on
with the consolidated enterprise Mill simply
call a sale and have grand stands, chairs, etc,
sold by an auctioneer. Tbey could all be
bought in for verv little, and the parties n ho
forced matters to this result would get nothing
at all because the sale Mould realize little or
nothing. In this connection I may remark that,
during the recent New York meeting, the
legal phase of ibesedebts was argued, and the
following case was submitted: A stockholder
of a P. L. club complained of tlie debt and
asked the club's President how the debt bad
been incurred.
"Mostly bv plavers' falaries," was tbe reply.
"Then it is illegal."" rejoined the nocklio'.ders.
The latter proceeded to bay that tlio tilayir''"
contract only permitted his salary to be paid
out of tbe receipts, and it was because of nut
condition that he, the stockholder, invested in
the affair. Of course there is creat force In
the contention, but I do not anticipate that any
local stockholders will make ai y lucb objection
or charge. It is to be hoped th . liutb the local
clubs Mill get dissolved and tbe n-w
club reorganized. Time is precious just
now and eterj thing that can be done
should be done to get matters into a
business shape. Of course there is a little un
pleasantness existing among a certain few. but
the majority of tbe proposed directors can soon
kill that. 11) ey need not be told bow to act,
but if the permit a continuation of the pre
ent disagreeableness, then the consequences
will be on their beads. Anything that w ill tend
to perpetuate pettj jealousies should and must
be snnauea at once.
Al. Johnson's Difficulty.
It is only fair to assnmo that everybody who
has made and who is trjing to make deals amid
the baseDall complications have tried to make
or are trying to make tbe best terms possible
for themselves. In so doing, of coarse, each
one has been acting stricilj within bis right.
But there is such a thing as acting too much
within our right. I mean that at times it is
possible to enforce our right too much. Many
a good cause has been lost and many bright pros
pects entirely blighted by the absence of a little
policy, and it is at junctures of this kind that
a good diplomat Mill be successful while the
man who rigidly sticks to a principle of
personal right makes an absolute failure. Well,
I am inclined to think that Albert L. Johnson
is in all respects making matters much more
unprofitable and unpleasant for himself than
they might otherwise be. Mr. Johnson's
actions recently have forcibly reminded me of
that ola nursery story about the boy and the
nuts. It is worth repeating here. Jiursery
tradition tell us of a greedy little boy
who discovered a jar of nuts. He
put his hand inside to belp himself
and he grasped as many as his
hand could bold. But the greedy little
fellows' hand was so much Increased in size by
holding tbe nuts that his hand stuck fast in the
mouth of the jar. Just then somebody ap
proached and to escape the little fellow had to
relinquish tbe entire lot, and he got nothing.
Had that greedy little chap been content to
take a reasonable quantity be could easily have
been out of the way with a lair share in bis
po-session 1 his littie lesson uf over-reaching
one a self Is certainly applicable to Mr. John
son's case. He started out by wanting no less
than SbOUOO for his baseball interests. The
latest news is to tbe effect that be will be con
tent with 29.000. The .National League, I under
stand, has offered him 25,000, the same amount
of money that Chicago P.Li, magnates were paid.
Most certainly it is not my business to try and
prevent Mr. Johnson from getting every dollar
to which he thinks be has a claim, but I am
certainly within my right as a public writer
when I say that he is entirely at tbe mercy of
those with whom he is dealing or negotiating;
Indeed, I am of opinion tbatif he is not content
to take a smaller hold like the little boy be will
get nothing at all. Of course Mr. Johnson's
threats about taking all the ball players on his
side is absolute nonsense, and as a business
man be must know that a threat of that kind
will have no weight whatever with anybody.
Depend upon it, the idle players have had all
tbey want of experiments, either in forming a
new league or anything else. They know that
it is to their advantage to have the old and
piofitable state of things re-established.
The American Association.
There seems to be no longer any doubt about
the makeup of the American Association for
next year. Tbe annual meeting of that organi
sation on Monday was one of those affairs in
which there is more than meets the eye. The
business done was not, on tbe face of it, very
great and it was to a very great extent mislead
ing. Judging from outward appearances it
would seem that Rochester, Sjracuso and To.
ledo would still be "in it." Why, representa
tives of these teams were put on committees to
make arrangements for the Association for
next year. However, they will not stay there,
tind as I remarked last week it seems to be cer
tain that tbe Boston and Philadelphia P. L.
clnbs will be in the Eastern half of tbe Asso
ciation and that Chicago will be in tbe Western
balf. This will give tbe Association a better
circuit than it has ever bad and will, indeed, be
a victory for the P. L. Club of Boston. A year
ago that club started in by absolute encroach
ment and the club was soon thoroughly estab
lished. Now it is about to be recog
nized as an established organization
and will doubtless take its place as
such amid the full recognition of those whom
it tried to kill. There is not much defeat In
this. That the Association will do right in ad
mitting Chicago or Milwaukee, Boston and
Philadelphia there is no doubt, because tbe
Association has Its own existence to sustain
and it certainly could not live if Syracuse,
Rochester and 1 oledo were to remain in it. The
last three named cities have been failures and
a change mnst be made. I cannot belp think,
mg that tbe directors of these clubs are fully
aware of what is In store for them, but it is
highly probable that tbey are banging on wltb
a hope ot being paid for their franchises. This
hope certainly seems to be a vain one.
About Players' Salaries.
During the week very many opinions bave
been expressed to tbe effect that the magnates
intend to adopt a plan whereby players' salar
ies can be kept down below tbe high rates paid
just before tbe revolt was made. lam not in
clined at all to believe that any such plan will
ever be adopted, and I question very much
whether any experienced magnate would intro
duce any such question to the annual meeting
ot tbe League. About two years ago my read
ers will remember that I assailed that noto
rious classification plan, the object of which
was to limit tbe salaries of players.
There were conditions of espionage
connected with the plan, and altogether the
plan was absolutely unsound in principle and
un-American iu its details. Before the season
was half over the plan was a dead letter and
nobody could be found to defend it. When it
was adopted almost everybody defended it. Its
object in some respects was all right, but it was
one oftjbe most unsound pieces of legislation
that the National League has ever been con
nected wltb. Well, then In the faoji of that
experience, will anvbody be foolish enough to
again step iu and trv to Secure a concerted
effort to keep down salaries? I think not; bnt
if there is, failure will just be as certain as it
was two years ago. Whatever prevents the
free and unfettered recognition of merit will
injure baseball. Good services demand
good pay and extraordinarily good ser
vices demand extraordinarily cood pay. Pro
minent players of merit will always be in de
maud, and this demand, as in the past, will
secure them the highest salaries that the mar
ket will allow. When this is secured, surely a
ball player needs nothing more, and, in fact, he
cannot get anything more, because capitalists
are not going to pay high salaries if tbe re
ceipts will not permit it. Without going fully
into the matter, there is nothing to convince
me that when matters have become thoroughly
settled ball-players' salaries will be any less
than in the past. For a season, or it
may be two seasons, salaries may be
kept down by the force of circumstances.
Everything in baseball is in an abnormal con
dition, and only lots of hard work and sacrifices
will Dring matters again inio iuhi uoinui
state The condition down to which baseball
has been dragged is a very grave question for
ballplayers and some of their friends to con
sider. We can all see the injury done and the
enormous losses sustained. It will take a long
time to redeem theso losses, ana sureiy uau
players from now on should be tbe most con
servative of men in dealing with masters that
propose to change tbe status of baseball.
The, Football Boom.
Well, we certainly have had a great week of
footbalk Within a very few Cays two of the
greatest contests of the year have taken place,
and as a result the glory of Princeton has been
bedimmed. While it may remain an open
question to some extent as to whether or not
Harvard Is superior to Yale In football play
ing, It seems certain to me that Princeton is
considerablv interior to either of the two.
Everything that Princeton has done this year
goes to prove this. Why, it seemed to be more
by good luck than good management that
Princeton defeated the University of Pennsvl
vacia team. I don't think that anybody will
dispute the fact that in football plaving
this year Princeton is far behind either Yale
or Harvard. This being so it would be super
fluous to argue tbe matter. But it is different
with Yale and Harvard. While we are all
bound to admit the fact of the wearers of the
crimson defeating the blues, we are also bound
to admit that victory might just as easily have
been on the other side. It was one of these
contests in which victory does not absolutely
prove the victors to be the better players. The
truth is that there are just as many people to
day who believe that Yale's team is as good as
Harvard's as there were before their game was
played. This is so true that were another
game plaved between them It would be
one of the most interesting contests
that has been seen for years. And there
would be lots of money behind Yale. The
games however, show that football is under
going a remarkable boom, and when next sea
son comes tbe names of leading "kickers" will
be almost as familiar to the public as the
names of popular ball players. Locally the
sport is still becoming more popular, and,
judging from the meeting held yesterday, we
may expect a league to be organized here
shortly. Association rules are taking a strong
hold, and tbe proposed league is to be governed
by those rules. Tbey are a contrast to the Rugby
coJe, but while I am not at present disposed to
find any fault with the Rugby rules I do claim
that anjbody who patronizes a Rugby game of
football cannot conscientiously or consistently
object to public boxing contests with gloves.
In the administration of punlshmenttbe former
certainly exceeds. Mark I am not saying
this to disparage the Rugby rules, but am
stating it to show that those who desire
public boxing contests ought to be listened to.
I am not an opponent of Rugby rnles nor of
public boxing, bnt 1 do support falrplay and
consistency.
Sir. "Denver" Smith.
The past week has to some extent been re
markable In the pugilistic world because of the
very signal defeat of "Ed Smith, of Denver."
He met George Godfrey a few nights ago In a
glove contest and was very badly defeated In
23 rounds. Two weeks' ago I had a few words
to say In advance about the fight. I think I then
remarked that nowadays It Is not safe to take for
granted the statement about this man or that
man being a "wonder" and a "phenomenon."
I advised this precaution because ot the ex
travagant things that were said about Smith.
He naa oeen neraiaea turouna lac couoiry as
the "great coming man" who was going to
pulverize falavin. Jackson, Sullivan and in short
everybody who would stand before him. This
mode of advertising was all right, consider
ing the fact that Mr. Smith was on
ihe road giving exhibitions under a manager.
However, be has been stopped, and miserably
stopped, and his effort to cope with Godfrey is
oae more proof that Mr. Muldoon. the wrestler,
knows nothing at all about pugilism. I don't
for a moment contend that Smith is a coward.
He is not; be is quite a gtme man, but he is not
a fighter any more than making a good display
in a boxing contest is concerned. It is reason
able to say that the Denver man would have
made a much better stand had he been at all
properly trained. He was in very poor condi
tion, and to make matters worse that great au
thority, Mr. Mnldoon, almost filled him full of
whisky and brandy. Smith couldn't bave been
seconded in a worse way than he was. One
very good authority writing on the battle
says: "Smith was fat and flabby. Tbe won
derful course of training tbe Denver man was
reported to nave gone through nnder the per
sonal supervision of Muldoon did not show in
any of his actions. He was several pounds too
heavy. The layers of flesh quivered on his
chest and body when he was aroused to activity.
Had Smith not trained at all be would have
looked just 'as well prepared for a test of en
durance, and be certainly would have made a
better showing."
Smith's Bad Trainer.
After the training of Smith, let nobody talk
to me about Muldoon's knowledge of fighters
and the ring. I have always argued in this
strain regarding Muldoon, even when he was
reaping false praise about his alleged great
training of Sullivan. In a word, it seems to
me that Muldoon has only been instrumental
in making a fool and a victim of a well-intentioned
and ambitious young fellow named
binith. Bnt there was nothing In the fight to
show if Smith had been in the best of condi
tion and bandied by tbe best possible seconds
that be would bave won. ne is not class
enough yet as a fighter to defeat Godfrey, and
that does not say much for him, because God
frey was literally terrified when he faced Jack
son. Smith has a most objectionable method
of fighting, much to the discredit of that
great authority, his trainer. Muldoon. When
lacine an opponent he bows bis head and body
down low and fixes his eyes apparently on blspJ
opponent's leeu xnere cannot wen De a worse
method. Of course I am aware that George
Rouk indulged in it to some extent; that is be
apparently kept watching an opponent's feet.
But Rook was not much ot a success at it and
would certainly have been better had be stood
In a position to command all his power and
activity at any moment. Smith by this crude
position managed to deceive Godfrey once or
twice, but the colored man soon "caught on,"
and Mr. Smith.s style became absolutely use
less. Tbe bgbt proves that we haven't to ex
pect anything creat from Smith for a
long time, at least. It also shows
that be has all along been an overrated
man. Muldoon has now to relv on Kllrain, and
tbe latter bas been held up as the man willing
to next fight Godfrey. Already tbe latter has
polished off two of -Muldoon's men, Ashton
and Smith, and it will be amusing if be causes
the "great trainer's" champion to take a back
seat also. However, if Godfrey meets Kllrain
be will tackle a much superior man to Smith.
After all, Kllrain is a good second-class man,
and if he were rightly nut into condition and
well seconded be certainly ought to defeat a
man like Godfrey.
Jackson and Goddard.
Since we had our last weekly talk Peter
Jackson has had a "go" with Goddard, and as
a result the great colored champion was con
tent to have tbe affair called a draw. This no,
donbt would be a great surprise to the follow
ers of Jackson, because be had a following of
people who couldn't be convinced tbat anybody
on earth could stand before bun. However, his
draw should give all those out and out be
lievers in Jackson to understand tbat he is
not the irresistible man they deemed him to
be. I am now more convinced than ever that
there was a time In the history of John L. Bui.
llvan when Peter Jackson could not have stood
four three-minute rounds in front of mm. Bui,
livan. Jackson's draw with Goddard proves it.
Jackson tried his very best fnr eight ronnds to
knock Goddard out, and Jackson not only
failed To accomplish his object, but Goddard,
according to accounts, was just as good as
Jackson at the finish. They both f oueht: that
Is, they did not dodge to gain time. Now tell
me a man who could have stood anything
like four rounds before Sullivan when the
latter was in form, and when both men were
fighting. In this connection I omt Sullivan's
contest with McCaffrey, because In that affair
Sullivan bad not an opponent who Stood np
with the object of knocking him out. But Jack
son, according to reports, got bis blows home,
and so did Goddard, and still neither was
knocked out. This, more than anything else,
settles the fact that Jickson would have been
no match for Sullivan, because the man never
lived whi could stand up before Sullivan four
rounds and fairly exchange blows. There is
another singular feature about Jackson and
his draw. Almost as soon as he
had the encounter with Goddard h left the
country for America. Now I ask Is it reason
able to think tnat if Jackson had a "sure thing"
of defeating Goddard he would not bave come
away without settling the question of superior
ity between them? A draw to Jackson was
similar to a defeat to anybody else, because
Jackson was announced as tbe "champion of
champions." Yet he makes a draw and imme
diately leaves for the United States. He most
certainly cannot come here now and preach his
championship claims. Of course he has almost
a clear course here except Corbett is anything
like as good as his friends say he is. At any
rate Jackson can come here and flood the coun
try with challenges with impnnity. Tne ques
tion, however, for him to answer is, why did he
not stay at home and defeat Goddard before
coming here? Prinqlk.

A SEVERE ATTACK OP CROUP,

Cough Remedy.
I wish to say to tbe public that Chamber.
Jain's Cough Bemedy it the best I have ever
used or sold for croup. I am never without
it at my home for my children. Last winter
a child of Mr. E. J. "Wetzel, one of my cus
tomers, was choking with a sudden and
severe attack of croup. I gave him a bottle
of this cough remedy, and he started for
home, gave tbe child two doses of it, which
stoppod the coughing and smothering in
stantly and in a few minutes the little one
was out of all danger. Mr, Wetzel came back
to the store as happy as he could be and
said: "That bottle of congh remedy saved
the life of my child." Furthermore I feel
friendly toward you as tbe manufacturers of
such a valuable remedy and am proud of its
being manufactured in our own titate. I
can cheerfully and willingly give many in
stances of its good works to anyone that may
want a reliable cough remedy,
