THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH. 'MQNDAY, DECEMBER . 14 189L
A LETTER TO YOKDY.
He Claims to Receive Some Promises
of Help From Scandrett,
TO SETTLE THE BASEBALL WAR.
Eecords of the Local Team and Pitchers'
Work of Last Season.
TOE EAST EXD EOWLING TOUENET
Ecry patron of baseball in the country
will be looking toward to-morrow's meet
ing at Indianapolis with more or less anx
iety. To a great extent the weal or woe of
the national game depends on the meeting,
because if the macnates who meet do not
resolve to abandon the present ruinous con
flict going on a "ong themselves the public
will lose interest in the game and many
clubs will eveniuallv be wrecked. Of late
years patrons of baseball have been trifled
with to a remarkable degres both by play
ers and bv magnates. Patienre, like all
human qualities has its limit and that limit
is almost reached. The majority of mag
nates are aware of this and that fact gives
hope of a settlement.
The Ieaijuo Favors It.
Almost every club in the League is in
fat or of a 12-club organization which means
a consolidation of the Association and the
Iieague. IJnt there are, indeed, many dif
ficulties in the way of consolidation not
withstanding the statement of Mr. Bvrnes
to the effect thit then, will be no hitch.
Sunday cames, big salaries already contract
cl and" players "stolen" are questions that
will cause some very warm talk. It seems
as if Von der Ahe is now willing to con
solidate, and he has received letters from
Leajue representatives on the subject.
Amontj the letters is one from Secretary
Scandrett, of this city, stating that Pitts
burg is willing to play Sunday games and
also willing to join forces with the Associa
tion on almost any terms. A dispatch from
Ft. Louis quotes Von der Ahe as making
tome verv important statements which go
to show that for a long time past he and
other League and Association representa
tives have been discussing the matter by
letter. Von der Abe's talk also shows that
President Bjrne's recent trip West was not
on "private business " but on a baseball
mission, the object of which was to advo
cate the organization of a 12-club Leaifuc.
Dunne the conversation referred to Von der
Ahe said
A Itter From Scandrett.
"The only thing in the way of consolida
tion is Sunday games. Four members of the
Leisue stand ready to play Sunday games
in Association cities where they are per
mitted bv the authorities. These clubs are
Cleveland, Pittsburg, Brooklyn and Cincin
nati, the Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia and
ew lork chilis lieing opposed to Sunday
rallies. Mr. Spalding controls the Jfcwr
Yoik and Chicago teams, and he and Mr.
Soden. of Boston, nro opposed to Sunday
pines and opposed to consolidation with
the Association on anv terms. We havo let
teisfrom Brush, of Cincinnati; Rohisou, of
Cle -l .iiid; Abel, of Brooklyn, and Scandrett,
ot Pittsburg, which state that tbey are will
ing to join forcts with the Association and
help its magnates organize a 12-club Icigue.
mul are willing to plv Sund.iy games in the
, cities where thc arc permitted.
"It was owing to the receipt of these let
ters that the .ssoci itlon this week went to
w oik la ing pl.m to drop some of its clubs.
The scheme i this. Consolidition in Phila
delphia and Boston; take players of tho
present Chicago Association club and
scatter them among the remaining clubs;
drop Columbus ai.d Milwaukee, and lorm
tho remaining clubs for a 12-clnb league, tho
greatest organization b is.cbill evei knew."
About the Sunday Gninrs.
Of course theie will he no Sunday games
in Pittsburg, but tmlj in cities west of here.
The players ot the club are not opposed to
Sunda games, ard the club directors fail to
tee anv othei way out nf the difficulty than
plavmgon Sundavs where gaiies are al
lowed. But the 'ocal directors are empliati
cillv opposed to the returning ot now play
ers to tne c!uL fiom which they came.
And almost every League club will" be simi
laily opposea, and so will several of the
Association clubs It is also stated that all
the 12 clubs w hich w ill make up tho pro
posed league w ill have to contribute equally
toward the bujmg out of Milwaukee and
Columbus. If a consolidation is affected
the great gainers will be those men who
have l-ecentl organized an Association club
in Chicago

A BAS2B&LL PLOT THAT TAILED.
The 12-Lepgno Club Scheme Knocked In
the Head by President 'VI illlams.
rniLADO-rniA, Dec. 13. Up to yesterday
morning it looked as if the tho one leaguo
12-club scheme would boa certainty. Presi
dent Williams, of the Chicago club, how
ev er, started East and, he soon remov ed tho
cl.arm. He armed hero last night and had
an extended interview with the Wagner
brothers. First Chris Von der Ahe was ap
proached, and he w.ts ajsured that the Wag
neis aud Princo was willing to quit. Then
Mi Wagner w as assured that Mr. Williams
Wiisreadv torctite. Care wastakentli.it no
tw were operated on at the same time.
1 he fcii'ine prov ided for the retirement
of the Boston and Athletic Clubs, the re
funding to the Chicago Association Club of
all the money that it had expended, and
the addition of Louisville and "-t. Louis to
League circuit. At St. Louis Mr. Von der
Ahe was to have the privilege of charging
only 25 cents admission and playing Suuday
games.
The Dog Show.
Tne gentlemen having in charge the ar
rangements for the next dog show in this

team starts in with the best cf it, because if
they win to-night and also two weeks henco
they get the cup. Belleflcld's victory made

conditions of the contest require that a

T0KMY EYAN STILL CHAMPION.
lie Whips Howson, tho Englishman in a
Remarkably Fair Tight.
CnicAno, Dec 13. "Tommy" Kyan is still
the champion welter-weight of the world.
He retains this title after a 14 round light
with Frank Howson, of Sheffield, England,
fought near this city this morning. From a
professional and scientific standpoint the
contest was a beauty.
After the third round parries, ducks and
counters w cro too thick to, cause comment.
The battle was remarkable for its fairness.
Not a single call of "foul" was made: not an
advantage taken, and not an angry word
passed between the contestants. Ryan
emerged from the fight unscathed, while his
opponent has one eje nearly knocked out
and one check laid open. Howson, while as
quick as a cat, was unable to hit hard, nnd
showed the bad effects of too much training.
Ryan displayed by far the best generalship.
The fight was for $1,000 a side and the welter-weight
championship, and was witnessed
by about 300 people. Ryan w as the lavorite
in betting.

It Is safe to bet that if the magnates fail to effect
peace when they meet there will be more 'blood

IF a consolidation is t fleeted a plan could be
agreed upon to reduce the big salaries. The

rOCOCK NOT CALLED TO CANTON FOE
AN APPOINTMENT.
Governor-Elect McKlnlcy Wanted to Know
Why tho Soldier Once Voted for Camp
bell Discovery or a Tell-Tale Letter
Caught Dead to Rights.
Columbus, O., Dec 13. Special A
sensation underlies McKinley's delay in
announcing his appointment for Adjutant
General. The Governor-elect had virtually
decided to place Colonel E. J. Pocock at
the head of tbe State militia. Pocock's
friends were given to understand he had
drawn tbe prize, and with a light heart he
went to Canton Friday, in response to a
telegram from JIcKinley requesting a per
sonal interview.
Colonel Pocock had no other thought than
that the great ambition of his life was about
to be realized. Ho expected upon his ar-i
rival tno new eovernor womu loruiallv
tender him tbe appointment. Great was his
surpiisc, however, when be learned he had
been summoned lor u far different purpose.
Colonel Pocock had not been in Canton
more than a half hour before he discovered
he had struck a snag. Governor McKlnlcy
had summoned h:m to explain awav a
charge that had been filed against him just
in time to nip his aspirations in the bud.
It eem as soon as it became apparent
Pocock was to receive the appointment, a
well known Columbus politician, who was
championing the cindidacy of another
aspirant, instituted an investigation of
Pocock's politics! record. Tne result was
moie than gratifying, as it developed
Pocock li id not nlwajS4eell- As true as,
steel. It vvaslearneu, o it is claimed, thtt
Pocock refused to support Fnraker in the
Gubernatorial campaign of 1SS9. and instead,
v otod for Campbell. This was regarded as
sufficient evidence to use in precluding tho
possibilitv of Pocock being chosen for the
place, and a delegation of Columbus citi
zens who aro opposed to him left for Canton
to protest against his appointment. They
laid the matter before 3IcKinlev.
It is said that when Pocock was informed
of the charge he was inclined to demur. The
proof of his backsliding was forthcoming,
howev er, as a letter was unearthed in which
the Colonel stated be had csst his vote for
Campbell in pielcrence to Fornker, This
letter was written by Pocock to Campbell,
and was in the form of a recommendation
for the appointment of one of the Colonel's
friends to office under the Campbell admin
istration. In the letter the Colonel states he
thinks he is deserving of especial considera
tion from Governor Campbell, because he,
although a Itcpublicaii, cast his voto for
Campbell. Gov ernor McKinlev told Pococ'
the charge against ntni must be disprov ed,
mid gave him threo days in w Inch to pro
duce the ev idence for the defense.
Notwithstanding tbo seiiisitional episode,
nnd the effort to put Pococknwav.it is the
opinion of tlin better Judges that Pocock
uill be named for the position to-morrow.
