An interesting storr regarding Buck Ewing and Mike Kelly and the late Play ers' League is now to the front. It purports -to give the details or how Ewing and Kelly soon discovered that the P. L. was a failure, and how they speedily made known the fact to Messrs. Anson. Spaldinc-aml J. B. Day. In July A. G. Spalding went to "Sew York, preparatory to a contemplated trip to Europe. Anson and Euing had talked orer the baseball situation in the meantime, and a bond of sjm pathy Las been established. Spalding was ig norant of this. One day Anson requested the Chicago League President to take a drive with him that evening. He refused to take "no" for an answer, and asked furthermore that John B. Day, the New Yorks' President, be invited to a seat in the carriage. So anxious did the "old man" appear to de sire the company that Spalding gave consent, althongb he knew not the purpose of the drive. He had, in fact, asked for Informa tion and had been told to wait and learn. A carriage drove up to the Fifth Avenue Hotel at the appointed time. Spalding and Anson took scats and the ride uptown began. A stop was made at Da"s home and that magnate was taken awheel. He, too, wondered what it was all about. Then a long, tedious drive began. lhe men in the carriage were silent. Away up near Hich Brn'ge the carriage stopped and Anson alighted. Soon ho returned and the drive was resumed. But another carriage was following close behind, bpalding and Day wondered some more. But Auson was silent. Shortly afterward the city lights were lost in the distance. The procession moved nn. At Westchester a stop was made. Anson got out and after reconnoitenng led Spalding and Day to and through a dimly rented cigir shop to a small room in the rear. Then the Chicago ball captain hastened to the second carriage and escorted us occupants to the rear room of the little shop. As the trio entered the two League magnates looked up In the greatest sur prise. The newcomers were Buck" Ewing and Dan Richardson, two of the Flayers' League's most noted sympathizers and ardent Brotherhood supporters. Emngnas aware of the purpose of tne errand, for he had consented to Anson': proposition. Kichardson was of the partv because of BuckV request that his friend's presence and counsel be allowed. Subsequently it was agreed that Kelly. Ewin: and a player from each of tlio other clubs should issue a manifesto to the Brother hood stating that all should leave the P. L. at the end of the season. It was on braiding's suggestion that the time was set for the end of the seaon. He bad no desire for vengeance, but, on the contrary, hoped to end the tight in the most honorable way to the capitalists and players. The details were all arranced. On a certain date Spa!dinr, Day, Kelly and Ewing were to meet in Younastown, O. The mani festo was then to be issued, the consent of the other leading players having been obtained by Kelly ana Ening. Each of the quartet was ready to start forthe Ohio town. Kelly was in Younpstown a day ahead of time. That evening fcpaldinc and Day were surprised to receive telegrams which read: "Don't come; the bird has Sown." Ewins bad backed out at the last moment. The manifesto was nut issued. But the pronhecic of Kelly and Ewing were correct. The Players' League had nlready reached the bediming of the end. It is ' now no more. The Chicago Leacue President tben decided to await the natural results of events. He said that in spite of the dissensions and rottenness of thfiPIajcrs' League it would finish its season. Within three days Spalding set sail for Europe. FITZSIHMOHS A FAVOBITE. AHeaij- Commission to Back the Austra lian in the Coming 1'ight. New Oeleass. Jan. 2. The interest over the battle for 1000 between Jack Dempsey and Bob Fitzsiminons for the middle-weight championship of the world is increasing. It is the mam topic in sporting circles here. Fitzsirumons is a heavy favorite, and every day he gains new admirers. If the present champion defeats him it will be a sreat sur prise. The quick way Fitzsimmons deleated Billy McCarthy, of Australia, at San Francisco on Alaj SO, Las considerable to do with his being such a favorite, coupled with the comparative ease in w hich he defeated Arthur Upbain in this city. Thomas Rollins, w ell known in San Fran cisco, has arrived iicre to witness the light, and it is said he has a Iieay commission to hack the New Zealand champion. Rollins said Fitx siiiiuions demonstrated when he fought Mc Carthy that he was one of the best fighters and cleverest ever seen in San Francisco. He knocked McCarthy out in the first round, 'but turned and walked away, allowing McCarthy to recover for seven rounds, after McCarthy was knocked round like a ship without a rudder In a rough sea. Fitzsiminons is a tremendnns hitter and a clecr two-handed lighter. He stands 6 feet in height and has arms as lonas ayardarm. He strikes straight from the shoulder, no swinging blows, and uses both hands with a rapidity that is astonishing. His less are very thin, all his strength beinc in his big body and shoulders. Betting is 100 tu SO on Fitzsiminons, and it should be 2 to L judging by the form both dis played when they fought McCarthy, at San Francisco. TO SELL THE CEAETZE.

A big cocking main took place at Summit Mines, near here, yesterday, which was witnessed by fully 500 people. The battles were between the Union town and Scottdale fowls, and the latter were completely victorious, winning six out of the seven fichu. The Uniontown sports wero rather inclined to bet freely on their favorites, and as a result lost about $500. The only battle won during the entire day bythe Uniontown people was due to the fact that the local men put a crippled bird into the ring. The last battle was a light for S75, and the Scottdale people, after winninc it, paid ihe boys' lares home. An other big main is being arranged, which will take place near here within a few weeks.

Al Johnson Becomes Hallucinated Again and Talks About Baseball and the New League He and Bruuell Are Going to Form. SPECIAL TKLEnCAM TO TBI DtFrATCIT.1 Cleveland, Jan Z A genuine sensation in baseball news is to be sprung upon the public within a day or two. and the essential features of the new deal wero learned inadvertently by yonr correspondent to-night. The Players' League people contemplate organizing a circuit nf clubs composed of Philadelphia, Brooklyn, New York and Boston on the East, and Cleve land, Columbus, Cincinnati and St; Louis or Pittsburg on the West, to play Sunday ball at 23 cents per game. While your correspondent was in a down town restaurant to-night Al Johnson and Sec retary Brunell came in arm-in-arm. "I have the letter here," said Johnson, "calling for the special mectinc of the Brotherhood players within a week." "What assurance have you," asked Secrotary Brunell. "that the Brotherhood men will stick to the new agreement?" Why," said AL "there are being mailed to the Brotherhood players to-day 100 ironclad agreements that the boys will be asked to sign before leaving the secret meeting next week. In this agreement the pla ers bond themselves not to sign with the National League or Ameri can Association. We will have nine-tenths of our old players in line when the deal is com pleted." "What about Cincinnati?" asked Secretary Brunell. Here." said Albert, as be handed out a bit of paper, here is a New York draft forthe amount the Cincinnati club owes. Ooto the telegraph office and wire Lawyer Johu Bruce that a draft bas been sent wuerewitn to pay an debts of the club. I will then become the re sponsible owner of the club." "But about that Brooklyn dealf asked Brunell. Johnson laughed heartily, and said something about a throw down and about tho League people's mistake. The draft he banded Brunell was thrust into an envelope and ad dressed to John Bruce. Cincinnati. Tben Brunell hurried to the telegraph office, and sent some kind ot a message, the contents of which could not, of course, be learned. "What hae you new in baseball!" asked yonr correspondent of Mr. Johnson a halt hour later. Nothing at all," was the reply, after a mo ment's hesitation. Ten minutes later Albert said that ir he could secure a circuit of Sunday playing clubs he would agree to pay the expense of the homo organization out of the Sunday receipts. The talk between Johnson and Brunell drifted to the makeup of the new league. "Vhy." said Johnson, "the managers and stockholders in St. Louis and Columbus would certainly rather come into our organization than into one where big bonuses must be paid Rochester, Syracuse, Toledo and other cities to get our," All this was said in a whisper, but could easily be heard a dozen feet-distant. Almost simultaneously with Mr. Johnson's declaration, J. J. Coleman, who managed the Players' club here last season, called a meeting of the locI players of the city, and secured their signatures to a petition addressed to the General Assem bly of Ohio asking that Sunday games be allowed.

The controversy about the title of wrestling champion is becoming very interesting. Jack Carkeek has appeared on the scene and defies anybody and everybody. He says: "Will you kindly allowme to contribute my little song and dance about the much-coveted title of champion catcb-as-catch-can wrestler. Lewis' (or the Parson's) talk about Lewis being champion is all bosk. Of course, he won from Acton at Battery D in Chicago 'a very long tnuo ago.' Previous to that time he was defeated by Tom Cannon, winning two falls in the short spaas of six minutes. Up to then where does Lewis come in as cbampionT He then went to Pittsburg with the title of cham pion tacked to his name, and wrestled Tom Connors. The result of that match was not only disastrous to Lewis, but to the entire party of MadKon sports, who lost some $1,500 on tho sure thing. 'Parson' Davics claims that Lewis was robbed. Be that as it mav. Lewis was given the first fall because Connors butted him and made his eye black. When they came together again Connors won a fall, the only one that occurred during the match. The finish of that match was a brutal rough and tumble fight, and Lewis lost. The title of champion of course went to Connors, who must have retained it until defeated, which was not until I met him at Milwaukee. I have "not a word to say about Lewis' ability as a wrestler. No one knows- what he can do any better than I, but I do object to his being called champion until lie wins it from me. He knows, and so does Parson Davies, that for the last fivo years I have been willirg to wrestle Lewis at any spot or place and in any style not only Lewis, but anybody and I am still willing to wrestle him catch-as-catch-can, best two in three. In regard to the forfeit posted with the Police JVeic. that was a bona fide challenge, I believe, and was backed by the Parson's money, but It was a general and not an Individual proposition to wrestle for the championship, and so goes for nothing. Itispossibietb.it Lewis can win from me at catch-as-catch-can wrestling, but he must do it before he has any right to the title of champion. Cocking Main at Newark. rsrsciAi.

He says the line will probably go to, or near, Gettys burg. He lins been here'for several days examining titles of land in the vicinity of Hillsdale, with reference to the Beech Creek system. The Vauderbilts, who bought up the hold ings of the minority stockholders in the road, are understood to have transferred their holdings to the New York Central Compauv, aud it is understood that they de sire to bring the Beech Creek directly under tbe influence of tbe New York Central.

George Holiinger, of Mulberry, stated to-day that there wero thousands of ready made snow balls, varying from tbe size of a walnut to that of a football, to be seen in the fields in the vicinity of hts home. They are as well formed and as hard, and even rounder than the ball usually made by the small boy. At first it was impossible to account for the presence of the suowballs. but afterwards It was ascertained they bad been formed by the whirling action of tbe wind. The first snow that fell bad been covered with a coat of ice. The second snow fall was very light, and on ly about one inch in depth. This last snow fall was set in motion by the scurrying wind, and rolled along its smooth. Icy bed. forming into balls which increased in size as they rolled along. Fenee rorners, ditches and hollow places were so filled by the round spheres as to create the belief at first that they had been dumped there by the wagon load. Several impromptu snow balling parties were formed. DEMANDING HIGHER WAGES. Iron Men at SteubenvBIe Qnlt Work on the Expiration of the Scale. TPFCIAI.

The Terrible Experience of Mr. Phillip A. C. Beaver as Told by Himself. His Condition Had Continued for Years --The Story of His Final Rescue by Drs. Cops land & Blair. Mr. Philip A. C. Beavers, who lives at "Wilkinsburg, Pa., and is in the employ of the Union Switch and Signal Company, of Swissvale, Pa., has the following to say in commendation of Drs. Copeland and Blair: "I think my catarrhal trouble was heredi tary. I had been afflicted more or less all my life. But for the past ten years I suf fered constantly, the disease had under mined my entire, constitution, and I was little better than a dead man. 3Sr. Philip A, C. Beavers, Wilkinsburg, Fa. "I consulted doctor after doctor and spent a lot of money, bnt got no relief. Then after reading the statements of patients who had been cured by Drs. Copeland and Blair while suffering almost as 1 did, I went to see them, and finding their charcesso reasonable simply nominal as compared to those of other physi cians I began their treatment, although I ex pected when I paid out my money that it wonld go like all the rest for nothing. "Imagine my surprise and delight to find that I lroDroved steadily nnder their splendid care, until now I am as well as I ever was in my life. I need not tell you my symDtoms, I had them all.-and to an intense degree my head. nose, throat, eyes, ears, lnngs and stomach, and, in fact, nearly every portion of my body was af fected by the loathsome disease. Drs. CoDe land and Blair not only furnish their patients all medicines, but give tbem also a regular methodical local treatment mild and agree able, bnt very effective, as tbe result in my case proves. The best I could say for these eminent specialists would not do them half justice. Tney saved my life, for had it not oeen tor them the disease would have brought me to my grave." Dns. Copeland A.
