JCew Yoek, Feb. 20. What do you
think of it? Another baseball war. This
time it is my old fellow associates of
the American Association reinforced bv
Mich ex-I5rotnerliood nujor-, capt-uns
and privates as Chailie 1'rinre, the War
ner llrotiicrs, Albert McClotkev John
son, Francis lliteracain Urunell and
Arthur Irwin, who hate r.illied lo the bnplc
call of revolution. Then Michael .Til? Kellv
Mys to thcui, "I'm twd tcz," and that do
Settle it.
w
I was an Assotiation "magnate" for seven
years, during which period I had plenty of
tine to study the character and methods of
Barnie and Von der Ahc I can honestly
say that iXe only reason why the two men
never succeeded in wrecking the Association
was because they were checkmated in their
anarchistic feints and forays by the clement
of good sense to whica they were opposed;
several times they brought temporary
trouble upon the Association from which,
however, their nio-c sensible and conservative
associate- resrucd the organization 1 his time
11 ej hate had the help and encouragement of
the most tronhlcsomc remnant of the late
leavers' rebellion, aud tLeir rei.ru of terror i a
lliirg ot reality.
Xo one living regrets this monstrous blunder
of the Association more than I. There is no
usetryiig to discount the calamitj. It is a
calamity. Baseball will sutler some more at a
Mi-e when it can leist afford it at a time when
every lover of the game hoped for the return
cl the good old tiuirs.
There can be bnt one end it the national
sgrecmem forces make the right the should
srainst the new rebellion. It will be the end of
the mencan Association as sure as jou are
leading these lines.
tr
I hat e reason tn l.uotr that tb6 revolutionists
of this will not only be accommodated with the
fight thej invite, hut nil! get much more thin
they cipected. The nauon.il agreement forces
will be more compact than they were lastycir.
This mem- that the National lyeague. the
"Western Association, the International League,
the ew Englai.d League, the Calilornia
Lreirue, the 1'acihc Northwestern League, the
Tn-fctate Leagnp and all the State Leagues will
Itand togeihcr and fight lor the preservation
of the game. 4
.
Moreover, the National Hoard, which will
lave met again before this is printed, will lay
down the coi sequences to all who onco nioro
flefi the supreme law of the national game.
In both the former revolts tho ictors com
mitted the error of lotal atmicst The mistake
wfllnot be made tho third time. It is gcttinc
tobetooco-tlj. When this resolution cmKai
it must end, there will be nme distinguished
corpses strew n otcr tho battlefield, and anion"
theslam will be founa Michael .1. Kell and
Arthur Irmu. There will aNo be Men ..pale
Upturned German lace ind a strancc head,
vith no hair where the Inir ought to grow.
Matbctou do not think I l.now what I am
talking about. Well, wait and sec.
Have these men counted the flmncial col?
"VVbV.tbei. campaign to carry half through the
f eason would cost SIOIUKX) cah. Hat e they cot
it? Where will it come from? fctop aud ask
yourself.
Then think of the cif.es that are supposed to
support this costly hght against combined base
ball. Anion; them arc Loui-tillc. Washing

Rntt Baltimore teims. is a counter attraction.
lo you think the Bo-tun people will hesitate
long in a choice between the two charmers?
But the greatest weakness of all will bo found
in the Association's lack of tact and shrewd
ness. They will not be in it when pitted against
fuel men as Spalding, Daj. Bjrne. lingers,
Knoli. KraufiolT. fcodeu, Kohison, Hone'
OTseill and Ihurman
1 mention Thurman because ho will be
forced to 1 em una mouibcr of the National
Board aud its Chairman.
Those of the Association men who were
duped by the anarchists in their midst will be
orr) that the did not do some thinking for
themselves. I have not touched upon the al
leged cause of itall. because I think before I
write arother letter for our pages the public
will tee prettj clearlv that the allezcd gncv
anees. were greatly inagnihcd and for a precon
certed purpose. Iheplan was to get Johnson
and Cincinnati a lot of star platers, aud then
come backstrorg and Le given a national agree
ment partnership.
But oh. how- the will miss it,

ImtUiey hate made a bad miscalculation.

WAB TO THE KKITE.
The National Itoaitl of Control BecLires
Itseir on the Itaseball Trouble.
Chicago. Feb. 2L War to the knife is the
Ultimatum ot the National Board of Control.
Thecauntlet was thrown down by the Amen
can Association when tht organization bolted
the national agreement. Ihc challenge was
takpn up and at the meeting of the Board of
Control this afternoon, the following was guen
out .is the result of tho members' delibera
tions: The National Board has received the notice
Signid by William Barnie, Vie- President 1 f
the American Association, announcing lho
withdrawal of that bod from the benefits and
prmleces of iIil national agreement on Febru
ary IS, 1S30. No reasons aie assigned for this
action, nor does this board understanu tint
there is the slightest ju-tihcatioti lor so unwise
a -tep on the part or that organization. If tvo are
10 Uike and Pellet c the published accounts for
the action, thev cannot be regarded as more
than pretexts for repudiating the new national
agreement, to rcccntlt and so solemnly entered
into, and to the maintenance of v inch that as
f ouatlon stood pledged by the strongest consid
crations of truth aud honor. The resultingconso
qucuces of this ill-advised act must rest on that
to-da. By its on n action it has annulled the
approtalof the contracts its clubs have made
with plaers and its clubs have released all
their plat ers from reservation. Those players
are row fiee to sign with any National League.
"W cs.ern Association or other national agree
ment club. T he pla ers under reserve by theso
last-named clubs remain subject to their con
tracts and to re-crvation and to all the pro
visions of tbcnitional agreement. Nor can

TOMMY SYAN AEEESTED.
Indiana Onicials Take Charge of nira for
righting in Their Itulinick.
Chicago, Ii.t., Fch. 2L The tables wcro
turned m sensational fashion this evening on
Tommy Ityan, the champion welter-weight
prize lighter, whose latest feat was the mart el-ousTO-ronnd
victory ntcr Danny Necuhamat
Minneapolis. W'hile Rv?u was quietly quaff
ing a glass of beer with a friend, an ufheer
stepped up and served a warrant on the cele
brated pugilist, charging huu with prize fight
ing 111 Lake county two months ago.
A. M. Turner, the Hoosier SheriH. who acted
as complainant, took immediate charge of Mr.
lit an, being backed up by a requisition duly
approved by the Governor of Indiana and the
Governor ot Illinois. With seeming utter dis
regard of Itjan's ncwlv acquired honors in
pugilism, the Indiana ofnci.il hurriedly piled
tho worla's welter-weight champion on the 5:13
r. 3L Panhandle passenger train, aud had the
satisfaction of gloatinc out of the car windows
at a prominent Chicago lawcr w ho dashed up
to tho depot in a cab with a writ of habeas
corpus, i ust a minute late to prevent Mr. R van's
legal abduction.
'I he eminent counsel grew black in the face
with rage, and made the air livid with threats
to hate the Indiana ofhcial indicted for violat
ing tho Illinois habeas corpus statute. Then
the lecal gentleman cooled off a lutle, and,
catching his second wind, cunningly tele
graphed to Crown Point, Ind.. instructing to
hate Ilvan arrested en route, from the Sheriff
by the Clerk of the Court there, bail bonds be
ing provided. 1 he pugilist and his hundreds
of friends in Chicago were angry enough over
the affair if possible to tip the whole State of
Indiana into Lake Alichigan.
Just before the train started Kt an said: "It's
a big bli ff to get stuff out of inc. The know
I wonalot of mono up in Minneapolis in the
fight with Needham, and thev think they can
jugmcard line mo a thousind or so, but it
won't go. l'to get ton many friends."

"With Dannj Noedham.
Chicago, Fcb.2L Tom Ilvan. the conqueror
of Danny Needham. returned homo esterdav,
accompanied by his faithtul trainer, "Old Bill"
Richards, who doesn't know what it is to sit in
a loser's corner, and who is as proud as a pea
cock ot er Ryan's latest victory George Sid
dons, who acted as one of Ryan's seconds, and
the bulk of the Chicago delegation arrived on
the same train.
Excepting a slight abrasion on the lower lip
and a slight swelling of the hands Ryan show
no signs of punishment and looks as w ell as ho
did the day he left for the battle ground
Speaking ot the fight he said: "I neter lost
confidence 111 my ability to win. but 1 knew I
was up against the bes. man I ever faced and I
didn't care about taking chances. I used my
own judgment and figured out the best way to
whip him, aud the result shons that I was
right."

him tho race bv a scant six inches. Massey

inr DujLAr's carls comfaxt.
London, Feb. 21. Colonel North has scored
again at tho great Waterloo coursing meeting,
his dog Fullerton, tho winner last ear, again
proving successful. The Colonel also secured
tho Waterloo plate with Simoman, a promisirg
puppy, who looked verv much like beating Ful
lertou in the first cnur-e for the cup. He had
more speed than Fullerton, though tho latter
was rather cleverer.
Thcic is no doubt North owns the two best
greyhounds in England. Tho Waterloo plate
was won bv Mr. Russel's dog Rhymes, an ani
n.al that was verv little fancied. Snnonian is
full brother to Fullerton.

A MAN FOE FAfiRELL
Arrangements About Made for Pat to
Tackle Joo McAnliffi.
TO FIGHTTEN ROUNDS IN NEW YORK
Western Sportsmen Making Efforts to Have
Changes Jlade in Game Laws.
GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY
Tat Farrell, the local pugilist, has se
cured a man at last, and lie is far and away
out of middle weight as far as weight is con
cerned. Farrell's intended opponent is none
other than big Joe JIcAuIifle, who was re
cently defeated by Slavm, and who still
claims that he can defeat any man in
America. The arrangements so far made
are to the effect that Farrell and JIcAulilTe
box ten rounds for points, which nowadays
means that the contestants will try to knock
each other out.
W. E. Harding, of New York, has been in
strumental in bringing the men together. Somo
time ago ho was empowered to act for Farrell
in New York and try to arrange a hattlo hc
tw een Farrell and Fitzsimmons. The latter, as
has already been stated, refused to fight, and
Mr. Harding began looking rnnnd for another
opponent for Farrell. McAuliilo offered to bet
that he would knock Fitz-immous out 111 ten
1 Quids, and Mr. Harding offered to wtger that
he, McAuliffe, could not st ip Fanell in ten
rounds. McAuliffe declined to undertake that
t isk. but stated he would bo quite willing to
box Farrell the number of rounds mentioned.
Mi. flarding wired John J. Qulnn, 1 arrell's
bicker, to tins effect csterda. The dispatch
also asked if Farrell would be willing to meet
-McAuliffe m thieo weeks' time.
In reply Mr. (tumn. after consulting with
Farrell, wired that Farrell would contest
against Mc uliffe hvc weeks after signing ar
ticles. It is thought that these conditions will
be accepted If thev are, tho contest will take
place lri Cronlume's theater,IoboKen.lhe win
ner will receite 75 and the loser 2o per cent ot tho
receipts. As soon as the match is definitely
ratihcd, Farrell will go into training under the
care of a first class man. Mr. Qaran states that
it is impossible to get any of the leading light
ers to put up a dollar in the way of stke
money. They will only box or fight for purses
or receipts.
l'arrcll has tried all means to secure a match
with a middleweight and has failed. His
backers are determined to have him tried and
are, therefore, forced to put him up atramst
one of tho biggest men 111 the pugilistic pro
fession. WANT THE LAWS CHANGED.
Illinois Sportsmen Hate Another Meeting
Regarding the Protection of Game.
CniCAGo, Feb. 21. A committee of the Illi
nois Sportsmen's Association met in W. S.
Low's oflico in the Chamber of Commerce
building tcsterda afternoon and decided to
appoint a snb-legislatite committee to en
deavor to bring about a change in the game
laws of Illinois. Somo time ago a law was
passed by the Legislature making the Pinnated
grouse or prairie chicken season open Septem
ber 1j. A mistake of the engrossing clerk at
Springfield made the law read September I in
stead of September 13. The country boys at
onco took advantage of the mistake of the
clerk and shot tho birds long Before the city
men left town witii their guns. The reason ot
the action t esterdiy was that there was no wish
to antagonize the farmer hunters.
'lho Icgislatite committee was also empow
ered to ask a change or the law allowing the
selling of (jamo in Chicago markets from Feb
ruar l to .lanuir 10, and that the law apply
not only to Illinois game, but 10 game killed in
other Stltes. There were two South Water
street game merchants present, Messrs. Bond
and Barnctt, and they fought this last proposi
tion. It went to the legislttivo .committee,
nctcrtheless.
It was proposed to hato the present Fish
Wardens actasgime wardens as well, in order
to otcrcome tho inaetitit of supposed game
protectors in Illinois, and especially 111 the
county of Cook. Dr. S. P. B irtlett, oT the
Stale Fish Commission, was nominated with
his subordinates to look after game as well as
fish, provided the Legisiatuic will allow it.
The lgislatite committee appointed was as
follows: M. S. Bortreo, F. S. Bunc, llr. IJart
lett. R, B. Organ, W. M. Sowand, Dr. N. Rowc.
It is a notorious fact tint quail can be bought
plucked from almost any game dealing store in
tins citv under the name of sqnab, tn season or
out uf season.
TWO H0RE SIGNED.
Mntll and Fields Append Their Names to
Pittsburg Club Contracts.
Mamger Hanlon was In Now York last even

to tho effect that he had signed Maul and
Ticlds to play with the Pittsburg club next
season. The manager will be 111 Philadelphia
probably 10 morrow, and epects to do busi
ness withFogartj.
It is understood that both President O'Neill
and Manager Hanlon aro making efforts to
secure one or two pliyerswhom Pittsburgers
have no idea of seeing on the team The Asso
ciation's break is opening tho way for catching
at least one good pitcher, whose name 15 with
held for the present.
Tho W ar at Boston.
Boston, Mass., Feb. 21. It is to bo the same
old struggle m baseball here text year. Con

uetermined to open his season on Memoilil
Dav with Kelly's Cincinnati team, and that will

To Stop Prize' Fighting.
NA-dlVlLLB, Fob. 21.-T-Pnzo fighting in Ten
nessee is a thing of the 'past. Heretofore all
violations of the liw were punished bt a small
fine, butthe Legislature now has under consid
eration anu it is meot)ng with almost unam
mous approval a bill to make iny sparring ex
lubition, with or without glotes, a high misde
meanor, and all persons interested, including
principals, seconds, backers and witnesses, sub
ject to a fine not less than 500 nor more than
$1,000 aud imprisonment for not less than 3
nor more than 12 months in tho county jail.
The fact that Toifcmy Warren, the featnnr
w eight, is in this city trying to arrange a fight
with a local pugilist has caused many legislators
to favor the measure.

Tho General Siiperiutendent Tells Why tho
Men Aro Growing 3Iort! Efficient.
Pittsburg was honored yesterday with a
Tisit from Captain Joseph E. "White, Gen
eral Superintendent of the Railway Mail
Service lor the entire United States.
Captain White is one of the oldest men in
the department, having been in the railway
mail service for the past 2j years. He re
gards Pittsburg as one of the greatest points
of distribution in the country, as over
25 cars of mail go out of Pitts
burg every day. In speaking of the
the work o the railway mail service he
said: "Last year we handled 7,500,000,000
pieces of mail matter. As an instance of
how the work iu this department has
grown in 1884 we only handled 3,400,000,
000 pieces ot mail matter. This great work
is done now with only one mistake in every
4,000 pieces. When the first report of the
railway mail service was made in187I there
was one mistake iu every 700 pieces. The
improvement is due to the faet that younger
men are employed aud are becom
ing thoroughly trained, and also to the in
troduction of case examinations and facing
slips. The systemof case examin itionstvas
introduced fry myseli. While I was the
Superintendent ot Mails at Chicago I made
the first dura my case formyowu instruction,
and it has since been made a partnl the ex
aminations." PEOPLE WHO COME AND GO.

Huntingdon, Feb. 21. It is reliably
reported that the miners in the Hoalzdale
district of the Clearfield region are mating
very elaborate, though quiet, preparations
lor a prolonged strike, which, it is believed,
will begin on or abont March 5, when the
probation asUcd by the operators will expire.
The leading operators here regard the threat
ened disturbance with dark foreboding, as it
is known that the Cicarficld and Phillips
burg miners arc arming themselves in an
ticipation of violence over a solution of the
impending strike. The general feeling pre
vails that only a generous accession by the
operators to the miners' demands will avert
seribus trouble.
One of the most influential Broad Top
miners said to-day that the miners in the
several districts throughout tho'cntirePeun
srltanii bituminous coalfields aro in secret
and constant communication, which will facili
tate an immediate and united shutdown in the
wholo region when tho promised notice to
strike is gn en. Tho miners in general in the
Huntingdon district arc, perhaps, better pre
pared for .1 protracted -tnke than their breth
ren in the Clearfield region. It carried out
this strike will affect oter 5,000 miners and
mine laborers.

day from an ofhcial visit to tho Latrobo coal
and coke regions. He is considering tho ad-vi-abtlity
of ordering the men there out on a
strike, as the operators hate been filling orders
which came to Scottdalc before the beginning
of the present strike. Between 700 and 1.000
men are einplojcd there, and tho question of
ordering them to striKo will be decided next
week.
'the Clearfield region will also receive a
shaking up if it is shown they are s-iptling

tive Board handed douu a decision that all
pumpers cnipIoed in this region shall strike
next week. The Executive Board nowsays tho
striko must involve all workmen. It is feared
considerable damage nill be done to the mines
unless some protision be made to do the worb
of the puiuuers.
The Carpenters and Joiners' Association, at
an open meeting held last night, decided to de
mand of the contractors for the coming year
