8 -THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 189L OUT F0BBL00D HOW Ihe League Magnates Abandon the National Agreement and De clare War to the Knife. ASSOCIATION MEN SURPKISED. Hike Kelly Is Likelj to Be Transferred From the Boston Club to the Xcw'Torks. SODEN EXPLAINS THE SITUATIM. A. G. Mills, the League Ex-Fresidsnt; In Town General Easeba.II Kews. rsrzciAt. telsgrm: to the msrATcn.i Xew York, Xbv. 12. The National Lcaiue officials are fairly launched on a sea o!" discussion that promises to toss tiicrn about for the remainder of the week. Up to date the results of their long sessions have been Blender. The delegates had another long session to-day. It is pretty well under stood that the League to-day practically agreed to abandon the national agreement, in which event the baseball business of the future will be a go-as-you-please race. The Leaguers say they do not feel like taking money for something it cannot civc True, one result of the agreement is that the National League respects the contracts of the minor organizations, and the latter bodies are compelled to observe each other's contracts, but there stands the American Association nith no obligation to respect the rights of any league, and the National League officials do not feel warranted in offering the minors protection that may not protect A Very Hard Blow. The abandonment of the national agree ment would be a hard blow to the minors, which would be plucked by League or As sociation. This move is simply one more shrewd step on the part of the League mag nates, who thus put on the Association the onus of the very unsatisfactory condition of affairs. Coupled with the 25-cen scheme, it can readily be seen tha. the crafty Lcagucrsare preparing large doses of trouble for the Association people The 25-cent ar rangement was a bomb in the camp of the Association. It is generally admitted to have been a masterly move by Byrne. Its rirrct will be keenly Mt bv the Association teams in Chicago, IJrooklyn and Philadel phia, providing they are in existence next fcuramcr, and it will put Brooklyn ertirely out of question for Association purposes If the Association ever had anv scriou. idea of putting a team in New York City Bryne's stroke has put an end to it. The general at titude of the League is well summarized by A. H. Soden, a conservative, clear-headed cflicial. He said to a reporter: Mr. Soden's Summary. "The League is in a good position for a fight, and I am confident we can stand it better than the Association. I certainly hope for a settlement, as the present condi tion of afiairs hurts the game. However, the League will continue on its way and prepare for every emereencv. I am aware that some Association officials are in favor of making advances to the League, but of the sentiments of the majority I am ignor ant There is yet plenty o"f time before spring to arrange'matters. " A proposed baseball deal of general in terest leaked out to-day. It is a plan to transfer Mike Kelly to the Xcw York Base ball Club, and it caused considerable ex citement "When President Soden was in terrogated, he said: "Yes, I have had some talk with President Day on the matter and if the transfer is made "it will be solelv be cause of Boston s desire to assist the New York Club. There is no desire on the part of the Boston club to get rid of Kelly, and before anything is done he will be con sulted. If he does not desire to join the New York team he will stay in Boston." Mike a White Elephant Despite the denial of President Soden it is the general opinion of baseball men that Boston has a burning desire to unload Mike Kelly. The Triumvirs find that he is a white elephant of large proportions and they have selected the Polo grounds as the proper place in which to land him. Kelly is a fifth wheel in the Boston coach. The team has two first-class back-stops in Ben nett and Ganzeland three fine outfielders in Stovey, Brodie and Lowe. There is no place on the team for Kelly, and as Billr Nash has shown himself to be a splendid field captain, there was absolutely no need of Kelly. The only remaining qualification was his drawine ability, aud. owing to the agility with which he flopped from League to Association and then back acaiu, he has injured himself to an extent that destroys his pow er to attract Kins "vTlll Stay In Xew York. Mr. Prince, of the Boston Association Club, arrived to-nicht and had a conference with Soden, the subject of which is said to be the proposed amalgamation of Boston's rival clubs. It is also announced to-night that committees repesenting the League and Association will met in a fer days to try and arrange a general truce. A question that took up considerable time was that concerning the signinc by the New York club of pitcher King. Pittsburg protested against New York taking the plavcr, on the ground that he agreed to play in Pittsbursr. The New York delegates set forth that King had been regularlv re leased by Pittsburg, and the protest of the latter club was brushed aside. Silver King will pitch for New York next season. A LITTLE TOO SLOW. Mr. Kerr Thinks That .Tack Boyle Might Have Been Signed Here. During a conversation yesterday Director Kerr, of the local club, intimated that he aud the other directors of the club had been in hopes of securing Jack Boyle as one of the local catchers, but that inactivity on the part of somebodv had spoiled the chance Mr. Kerr also stated that Killen may vet be secured to pitch for the Pittsbure'club, and the director further stated that efforts to Mcure both Killen and Davics should have been made long atro. Mr. Kerr is of opinion that pitchers like Killenand Davies arebetterand safer invest ments. generally than signing unheard-of youngsters. A. G. Mills in Town. A. G. Mills, President of the New York Athletic Club and ex-President of the Na tional Baseball League, is in the city. He deplores the present condition of affairs in the baseball world and maintains that with out a national agreement the game will be ruined. He hopes that peace will soon be made by the contending parties. EHODES BOX SATISFIED. Ho Is Displeased nt Tate's Showing and Tl ill Coach the Team. New Haven; Conk., Nov. 12. "y7. C Bhodcs, captain of last year's Yale team, came to New Haven to-day, and will coach the eleven until Thanksgiving. He saw the Amherst game yesterday afternoon as ref eree, and expressed him self as far from sat isfied with the team's showing. He may put on a can vas jacket, as he is in good con dition, having played in Cleveland through October. Heavy rain made the field soft and slippery yesterday afternoon, with big pools of water in the middle. The Yale team played its last game on home grounds, and sent the 600 students home with the tally of 27 points scored against Amherst It was somethingtoponderand grow nervous over. It was a hard fouzht game. This the list of injured shows. The Yale team strangely enough showed fatal weakness in places hitherto taken care of, and in its old faults showed some improvement The Amherst men put up a stiff, steady game, and made all their gains through the line, between "guard ana end, with several good runs around the ends. Yale's defensive was bet ter, but her interference wretched. The fumbling was less marked, despite the slip pery ball. Quite a Serious Joke. On Tuesday afternoon the final game for the inter-class football championship of Columbia resulted in a -victory for Ninety three, the junior class. Yesterday morning the students, on coming to college, discov ered that during the night the fountain upon the college campus had been smeared with bright red paint, and upon the outside wall of the college, on Forty-ninth street, the words, "Damn 'OV'weie painted m large red letters. The faculty and President Low are very much wrought up about the affair, and are taking measures to discover the offenders. Yesterday President Low called together the presidents of the four classes and made strict inquiries. The sen timentof the college is strongly in disap probation of this wanton defacement of col lege property. If the perpetrators are dis covered expulsion is pretty sure to follow. Sac Tork Sun. The Adelberts 'Won. Newark, Nov. 12. Spain?. This afternoon a hotly contested game of foot ball was played on Athletic grounds, Gran ville. It was the championship game of the intercollegiate teams, Adelbert, of Cleve land, and Dennison, of Granville. The Adelberts were in fine trim and played a great game, being far superior in strength and rushing qualities. A large crowJ wit nessed the game. It was very exciting. Game resulted: Adelbert, 14: Dennison, 10. Slosson Makps i& Kick. NewYokk,Nov.12. Special. Billiard ist George Slosson received a dispatch from Champion Jacob Schaefer yesterday, saying that John Moulds has been authorized by him to act in arranging matters for the match for the championship emblem, and that Moulds will be here to-day. The match was arranged to be played in this city on December 22, Schaefer to receive $250 for expenses if he loses. There may be trouble in bringing about the meeting of the experts, notwithstanding that Slosson has deposited his forfeit and Schaefer's money is up. There is blood in Slosson's eyes. He makes no secret of the fact that he is much dissatisfied with the financial return of the Chickering Hall match that was played before a crowded house on Oc tober 20." He said he didn't get nearly as much out of it as Schaefer roI out of the match for the championship emblem, which also drew a crowd. He wants to know the reason, and he said something yesterday about forfeiting the game if things weren't thoroighv investigated. It should be said that Mr. A. F. Troescher is not at all in volved in the dispute. It concerns other parties, and it seems to mean war for the other parties in Slosson's present frame of mind. Open to the TVor'd. CHICAGO, Nov. 12.

The Stalen Island Athlete Talks of His Proposed League. NOT TO KILL THE SMALLER CLUBS. Amateur Athletes and Baseball Players Or ganize at Wilkinsbarg. GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OP THE DAT rSPECIAI. TELEGRAM TO TnE PtSPATOIt.l New York, Nov. 12. The proposed new athletic league, of which Fred Janssen is the prime mover, was fully explained by that gentleman to-day. He is a member of the Staten Island Athletic Club, but to day's explanation of his proposed league is not by any means satisfactory to the repre sentative amateurs of this city. Mr. Jans- sen's explanations are as follows: ioff mat me proposeu league ox amieuu clubs has been commented upon by the press throughout the country, kindly allow me to say a few words in behalf of the league and its objects, so that those who Jiavc misconstrued the original ideas and in tentions of its promoters may realize the true benefits to be derived from an organi zation of tliis character. First I desire it to be clearly and dis tinctly understood that the league does not seek in any way the destruction of the Amateur Athletic Union. The league, as a limited organization, proposes to establish an entirely new de parture in the world of clubs. It desires to encourage aud promote among its members social intercourse and such games and sports as billiards, pool, football, court tennis, bowling, rackets, baseball, shooting, whist, polo, riding, yachting and a number of others that the A. A. TJ. as a body takes no interest in. Sports such as running, walk ing, jumping, swimming, gymnastics, wrestling and boxing simply appear on the league's calendar in the same category as lawn tennis, boating, bicycling and skating, each with its distinctive national legislative body, as they do 'upon the calerdar of the A. A.U. Not to Kill Smaller Clubs. Suppose, for example, the strictly Bocial clubs of the country were to combine in a body and form cither a league or a national organization for similar purposes, the larger athletic clubs of the country would un doubtedly join. This would not be looked upon as antagonistic to the A. A. TJ., and as such a movement has been -anticipated by athletic clubs, there should be no miscon struction.of the league's purposes. Second I also wish to correct the im pression that the league is iormed for the purpose of eliminating the smaller clubs and catering to an exclusive and aristocratic class. The A. A. V. demands that clubs shall have certain qualifications and a requisite number of members before they are eligible for membership. The league requires the same. It would not be fair for a club with a small membership and without property to have an equal voice with a club of ten times its size. For this reason it was deemed advisable to divide the clubs into two classes, and the qualification of either 400 members or 530, 000 worth of property was specified as the dividing line. Third The public does not seem to un derstand that there are a number ot promi nent and flourishing athletic clubs which derive absolutely no benefit from the Ama teur Athletic Union, for the simple reason that the latter does not cater to the in terests of these clubs nor cau it be expected to, and thus it becomes the more apparent that they wil be largely benefited by be coming members of the proposed league. Of the 28 representative and successful athletic clubs mentioned for membership in the league, 19 are never represented in any ofthe Amateur Athletic Union competi tions. The Social Element Some of these clubs are not even members of the union, but have gained prominence by being associated with minor leagues, which, on account of being limited organizations, have been able to legislate to their own par ticular interests. I refer esuecially to the Orange-Crescent Football League, Staten Island-Englewood Baseball League and the Athletic Club Bowling League wmen have undeniably proved successful. Fourth No one will denv the fact that the larger athletic organizations are gaining a larger social element and also that team contests are gradually taking the individual competitions, therefore limited leagues with limited jurisdiction and rulings that are re spected and enforced are infinitely prefer able to national organizations with rulings that are not enforced. In limited leagues the person who is in sport for pleasure and recreation is known as an amateur, while the one who is paid for his services in sport for remunerative consideration is known as the professional, although the two may com pete together side by side "We have two classes in sports, the amateur and professional, each with its distinctive and praiseworthy merits, and while there is no discredit in an athlete being a professional there is a decided objection to a professional masquerading as an amateur, or, in the words of our esteemed old friend, Mr. Dana, "Never print a paid advertisement as read ing matter." CHALLENGE TO THE WOBLD. Peter Priddy "Will Run E. C. McClelland or Any Other Man. The backer of Peter Priddy called at this office last evening and left the following challenge, accompanied by a forfeit of S50: "Peter Priddy willrun E. C. McClelland a foot race of from 100 yards to five miles for ?250 a side, the race to take place six weeks after signing articles. If McClelland does not accept this offer Peter Priddy will run any man in the world a race of from one to five miles for ?o00 or 1,000 a side, the race to take place six weeks from sign ing articles. If anybody will cover a for feit of 550 now put up in The Dispatch office and name a date of meeting, a match can be made." The above challenge is perfectly genuine and the gentleman who offers to back Priddy is a man of his word at all times and means business. McClelland and Selbert Matched. A match has been made between E. C. McClelland and the veteran, Andy Seibert, who agree to run a foot race of five miles T,. -v . :: i.1f .,. " . ' Seibert receiving a half mile start The race is for 5250 a side, and is to take place on the "Wheeling Fair Grounds November 28. McClelland also offers to run Paxton, of Martin's Ferry, a race of 100 yards and take ten yards start, or "Wilson, of Bellaire, on the same terms. McClelland does not claim to be a sprinter, but all the "Wheeling sprinters want to run him. He is training every day. Will Try at Homewood. Steve Farrell and his backer, and John Quinn, the backer of G. Smith, returned from New Castle last evening. The track was not in good enough condition for a race, and probably won't be for some days. The entire party met at this office last even ing and discussed matters very warmly. Farrell claimed that he was being unfairly treated by being kept here waiting for a fine day and having to pay his own expenses after winning a race. As matters now stand he is to try and beat record time on Homewood track. Parrell to Joe Priddy. In reply to the challange of Joe Priddy, Farrcll says: "I will give Joe PriddylO yards start in 300 yards, for ?500 a side. I will allow him $100 expenses to run at Bockville, Conn. I will also guarantee him better treatment than I have received in Pittsburg. He won't be robbed if he defeats me." FINISHED THXIB WOBK.

Mr. Bonner sent this dispatch in reply to one from Senator Stanford: "Two ten and three-quarters for a two-year-Old is so far beyond anything I ever expected to see that it dumfounds me, and I can only add that I most heartily congratulate you on your unparalleled and undreamt-of success in breeding and developing the trotting horse."

A New Athletic Association to Be Organ ized There or Great Dimensions. "Wilkinsburg is preparing for a good sea son of baseball and general athletics next year. There is a movement on foot to get up a creditable baseball club to represent the borough. Application has been made for a charter for the "Wilkinsburg Athletic Association," and from the way the stock is being taken up there is no doubt that there will be no lack of capital. Some 52,000, at ?10 a share, have already been subscribed. The incorporators of the association are Messrs. S. H. Thompson, B. "W. Carskad don, John McMahon, J. K. Dillon and Frank Miller. The object of the association is said to be to maintain athletic and other sports, which will comprise baseball, tennis, cricket, foot ball, bicycling and other amusements of the road and field. The association has already secured a large tract of ground on what is known as the Doran property in Wilkins burg. It will have a good track for bicy cling and foot racing, and will afford" a splendid place for athletics of all kinds, particularly baseball.. The "Wilkinsburg players have hitherto had to go to Home wood to indulge in their favorite sport Now they will be able to stay at home and have all the fun they want. A pleasant feature of the association's new grounds will be a clubhouse fitted up with a gvmnasium, billiard room, hand somely furnished parlor and other con veniences that will make it a desirable resort for ladies as well as gentlemen.

AROUND THE IN THEETT Peculiarities and Possibilities or Travel as Uelated by Commercial Salesmen. A group of traveling salesmen were en joying themselves in the lobby of a down town hotel the other evening in that pastime peculiar to the jovial commercial traveler, telling stories. The narration of amusing incidents had drifted to a discus sion of the number of miles traveled and the amount of money expended by a salesman in a year. The figures given are interesting and show that sitnations as traveling sales man are not all sunshine in view ofthe fact that during 10 years' service one entire year is spent on railway trains, in which period a distance of 182,000 miles, equal to over keven times the distance around the world, is traveled, to say nothing of the hurry and inconvenience incident to early rising to catch trains. This' computation is based on the consideration that salesmen as a rule cover an average of CO miles per day the year 'round. Each one of the seven drnmmers in the group exhausted about 20 1,000-mile tickets per annum, which would give an average of nearly 53 miles per day for 365 days, although the seasons for work do not extend throughout the entire year. "Allowing 20 1,000-mile tickets "as the average," said the representative of a New York drvgoods firm, figuring on the fly leaf of an order book, "the yearly bill for trans portation amounts to S400. Hotel bills and sundries will swell the total to something like 51,500 per year, making a grand total of $13,000 expended in ten years, equal to a daily expenditure of 57 CO, as none of us work over 200 days in a year. Now figure in wearing apparel, and you have a sum not much short of 18 per day for individual ex penses. I don't believe there's another class of working people, who spend that much money for personal expenses." "Well, gentlemen," spoke up the senior of the group, a hale looking gentleman beyond the meridian oflife, those figure are pretty reliable. At least I've found them so in over a quarter of a century's service on the road. In that time I've seen all sorts of accommodations, from the very limited ones afiorded bv a cross-roads tavern to the luxury of a 56 per day hotel; have been tortured by riding over rickety railroads, which shook a fellow up so that it was difficult to stay in his clothes. I I have also enjoyed riding in luxury in the most modern vestibule flyers, as I've beey over about every' piece of railroad in this country. The fastest and most comfortable riding I ever experienced was a few weeks ago. I had just arrived at St Louis, and as I was registering at the hotel the clerk handed me a telegram. I found it to be a message from my wife, who wired that our youngest daughter was seriously ill at our home in New York. I didn't wait for breakfast at the hotel after I learned that a through train for the East departed from St Louis over the Vandalia and Pennsyl vania lines at 7:30 o'clock, only a few min utes after the receipt of the telegram. I made that train, and after sleeping in Mis souri I had breakfast in the dining car as the train was passing through Illinois; took dinner while the train was going through Indiana and supper in the diner while we were in Ohio, in which State I retired to my berth and awoke in Pennsylvania. I arose in time for breakfast in "that State, and was at home in New York in time to take dinner with my family. You see, I ate four meals in as many different State3 after sleeping in a fifth, and all within 30 hours, it being 7:30 A. M. when I left St. Louis and 1:30 P. M. when I reached New York, 1,100 miles away. Bessie, my daugh ter, had only a slight attack of illness, but her mother, like all women anxious about their little ones, telegraphed me to come home, although the physician in attendance said it was not necessary. "As my presence was not required in New York, and being behind on my trip, I started back at once in order to be in Chi cago as soon as possible. I caught the vesti bule train, the Columbian express, ont of New York over the Pennsylvania Bailroad at 4 P. 3t., and had supper in the dining car wh''e Soing through Pennsylvania; ate breakfast in Ohio and dinner in Indiana in the diner, and was in Chicago at my hotel in time fr supper, making over 900 miles on that run- Now, then, here's my record: Slept in Missouri, got breakfast in Illinois, ate dinner in Indiana, supper in Ohio, slept in Ohio and Pennsylvania, had breakfast in Pennsylvania and dinner in New York with my family, supper in Pennsylvania on the train, breakfast in Ohio, dinner in Indiana, also on the train, and supper in Illinois, traveled over 2,000 miles and did not get ofTthe train or change cars except the one time when under jny own roof at dinner with my family in New York. The distance traveled over 2,000 miles was covered in exactly 5G hours. At that pace one can go around the world in less than 30 days. " "But," ventured one of the interested auditors, "it should be borne in mind that in that instance the trip was made on the standard railway of America, the direct route between St. Louis and the East, and between New York and Chicago, ad vantage"? which make fast traveling permissible. An other thing to be considered is the rapidity with which improvements for facilitating travel have been developed in the past few years, a contemplation of which leads to the conclusion that in days soon to come the methods of transportation will be as marvelous as thev are unique. Aerial nav igation seems to be the fertile field of the present day for inventive genius, and evi dences of her remarkable achievements will, no doubt, soon be seen in the air. Just imagine yourself going through space like a bird. One hundred miles an hour will be a snail's pace compared to the velocity possible for a flying contrivance. Until a fellow got the hang of the thing it would be a little bit awkward to be rigged out with a machine in which yon could stand in New York and by pulling a string drop down in Chicago in a few hours. Such a machine would be a damper on the rain maker's occupation, as it would do away with the use of explosives. Whenever it rain would be needed some one could start skyward in a flvinz machine and bv pnncturing a rain cloud let down a shower." "I've got a better scheme than bombard ing the heavens for the purpose of produc ing rain," calmly remarked one of the group. "Let's have it." "Send up balloons laden with horse radish. It' would make the heavens weep." The Latest Investments. The unscrupulous character of many rail road directors, their disregard for theinter est of other stockholders, and the wrecks they have deliberately planned, have caused people with money to invest to be suspi cious of railroad stocks and bonds. The safest investments at the present day are industrial institutions, manufactories and institutions that are founded upon a rock and cannot be shaken. The popularity which the stock of the H. H. Warner & Co., Limited, has achieved, is due both to its solidity and the high rate of dividends which it has pajd and is paying. For the past two years this company has paid a divi dend of 17J4 percent, besides accumulating a large reserve. Coque Jeather collarettes at 73c, worth 51 50. .
