GENERAL SFORTIXG SETTS OP THE DiT
ftrtCIAL TELEGEAM TO THE DISTATCn.
Seattle, March M. The case of Pitcher
Camp, a reserved player of the Seattle club,
who was signed by the l'ittsburg National
League Club, will in all probability be taken
into the courts as the League has practically
announced its intention not to interfere.
The matter has been placed in the hands of
an attornev who will, if investigation war
rants it, bring suit for breach of contract, to
recover the 51,000 paid by the Pacific
Xoribwest Lcajue last season to the Board
ot Control for protection under the national
agreement, to which the National
League was one of the principal
parties. This action was determined
upon by the receipt yesterday of
a letter by"V. E. Rockwell, President of
the Pacinc Northwest League, Irom 2. E.
Young, President of the Natiorial League,
and a member of the rcw national board
which looks after the enforcement of the
provisions of the new agreement adonted at
the League meeting held in Xew Xork on
March Mr. Rockwell wrote Mr. Young
several week1! ago fully about Camp's case,
au! received a. brief replv stating that it
could not be laid before the Board of Con
trol because there was no such body. Mr.
Rockwell wrote again reminding the League
President of the rights that theminor asso
ciations were entitled to by paving their as
sessments under the terms of the national
agreement Since then a "National Board
of Professional Baseball Associations" has
lwen "stablished to take the place of the old
Board of Control, and Mr. Young was
chosen as one ot the three members.
Appreciate ilie Good "WorU.
President Rockwell says that he appreci
ates the good work done at the Indianapolis
meeting in patching up peace between the
two warring maior leagues, but, like manv
others, cannot understand why the rights of
leservation of minor leagues should be
taken from them without even notification
at the time or since, until recently. The
long and honorable service in baseball of
Mr. Young and others associated with him
in the Indianapolis treatv. entitle them to
a great deal of consideration and respect,
and yet at the same time to a man up a tree
it looks as if they had, at the time they
w ere arranging the differences between the
bic league', been gniltv of a serious over
sight in failing to make any provisions con
cerning the rights and duties of minor
leagues which they professed a desire to
protect.
After allowing the matter to run along
until complaints and disputes from the
lesser organizations forced it upon their
notice, the pdjvers that be suddenly re
member at this late hour that there was
some provision made. .Tohn P. Brush,
President of the Cincinnati club, at the re
cent Xew York meeting pointed out that
at the Indianapolis meeting reservation
privileges, not onlv of the League and As
sociation, but of all other associations un
der the national agreement, were wiped
out, and that the powers of a committee
on plavers were by resolution enlarged so
as to include within its scope everything
pertaining to the players, and gave it ab
solute control over all ball players ot what
soever degree and position. "While this
action probably was taken, and might have
been intended to include minor league
players, there was never any notification
given to the officials of such organizations,
either directly or through the press, that
the right of reservation was taken away.
The Grounds for Action.
The Pacific Northwest League proposes to
base its ground ot action on the fact that it
complied with all of its obligations under
its contract for protection, while the other
parties tailed to fulfill theirs. In accord
ance with the terms of the national agree
ment 51,000 was forwarded to the Board of
Control of April 9, 1891, as the considera
tion for protection, which included the
right of reserving players for one year
from that date. On October 9. as required
by the agreement, a list of players reserved
by the Pacific Northwest League was sent
in. One or the players on Seattle's reserve
list was AVinfieid Scott Camp, whom Pitts
burg signed without the least notice to Seat
tle of its intention. -The offense is more ag
gravating because after the Pacific North
west League had paid for protection during
1890 and 1891 a number of its players were
stolen by the California League," and now
there promises to be a repetition of last
season's piracy.
The course taken by the League in the
Camp matter would seem to mean that the
minor Leagues will go to fighting for play
ers as they did last year, and none will en
joy protection. Already a California club
has signed .Tack Fanning, reserved by Ta
enma, and it is not unlikely that the Pacific
Northwest clubs will adopt retaliatory
measures Again, there is apt to be trouble
over the fact that President "Williams, of
the "Western League, has issued a bulletin
of players signed, or whose terms have been
accepted, several of whom are either signed
or reserved by Pacific Northwest League
clubs, and are expected to come here.
President Young, if reports are true, cer
tainly seems open to criticism in his action
in I'annisg's case.
Soma of tlia Active Gun Experts Organize
a Xew Club.
The Sportsmen's Gun Club, of Wilkinsburg,
is tho name of an organization that was
formed last "Wednesday evening at the office
or L. A. Ratsur & Co., Penn avenue, Wilkins
bunr. The new club starts with a member
ship ofl3, of whom nine were formerly mem
bers of the Wilkinsburc Gun Club. In fact.
lt is not likely that tho new club would have
been formed at all had not there been a
Kreat deal of dissatisfaction with tho old
one.
The nine scceders from tint organization
were the prime movers in tho formation of
the Sportsmen's, and as they are allartive
sportsmen it is likely that the new club will
set the pace for some good shooting in tho
vicinity of Wilklnsbnnr. Assoonasarrange
ments are perfected the club will look alter
a site and erect a clubhouse that is expected
to bo tho most perfectly appointed estab
lishment of its kind eat ot East Liberty.
Wilkmsburg has a number or splendid
maiksmen who have alunys made a sood
record hitherto, and it is assumed that tho
competition betw een the two clubs or W1I
kinsburg will awaken a livelier interest in
shnroshootlnjr than has existed since tho
borough wa ir.coi porated. Following is a
list of the officers of the "Sportsmen's Gun

Ed Richter Foints Oat That the Big league
Is All Right.
The Sporting life has the following
this week regarding the new I-eague
A few baseball writers, who ha e profited
in adding fuel to the flames of dissension,
are endeavoring to mako readeis believe
that there is trouble in the present League.
This is untrue. There are differences of
opinion, but so there were in the rich and
prosperous days of 18S9. Clubs in the
stionger cities have been led to give their
consent to more liberal legislation in the
matter of a division ot finances, and, in spite
of the fact that such a law is in effect, both
Mr. John B. Dav, of Xew Torlr, and Mr. Will
iam Conant, ot Boston, are opposed to it.
Had such a measure been on the book-, five
vears azo there never would have been a
Brotherhood league. It was the constant
squeezing of the smaller clubs and their in
ability to compete with the larger in the
matter of signing players that led to the dis
astrous war. At the same time the little
ones weie pleaded with to hang on in order
to fill out trie circuit.
As liberal as John R Day has always been
with his players, he has been extremely
illiberal in his views on League legislation,
and has apparently been imbued witli the
Idea that the success and necessities of Xew
York were paramount to any other matters
of business connected with baseball. This
falling, however, is perfectly natural, as tho
a erage resident of Xew York City lives in
an atmosphere of self-consciousness, strong
ly charged with the idea that if Xew YorK
should be swallowed upin thenight by some
tremendous convulsion of nature the re
mainder of the United States would filter
through the crack befoie morning.
VOir DEB ABE IS VEBY FIBM.
He Insists on Strieker and Drodle Signing
Willi St. Louis.
St. Louis, March 19. Special. Chris Yon
der Ahe is having some trouble in getting
Cub Strieker and Walter Brodie, of Boston,
to sign. Both of these men were assigned
to St. Louis by 41io Distribution Committee,
but so far Yon der Ahe has been unable to
come to terms with them. Ho said to-day:
"Both of these men will play in
thin city or retire from tho business.
I want to go on lecord as saying
so, too. I also wish you to state that all this
talk about me endeavoring to trade Strieker
off for a pitcher or any other plaver, or sll
him for a cash consideration is bosh.
Strieker will, as I said before, play here or
nowhere. However, lie will have to come
to onr terms.
"Wo have in Jack Crooks a first-class man,
who can cover tho bag as well as Strieker,
so that you can see that we are in a position
not to bo alarmed by any bluffs of the latter
about not playing out here unless his terms
aieaccepted.1'
JORDAN C0HES TO TIME.
THE VETERAN'S TALK.
He Says Something About Future Battles
and Their Prospects.
A veteran of the prize ring, who fre
quently calls at this office, and whose opin
ions are always w orthy of attention, looked
in last evening and said:
"Xow do not let anybody think thai Sulli
van and Corbett won't fight, Corbett will
have to light. He will be a winner If he
makes a draw, and should ho win he will
obtain a fortune. Now anybody who knows
anything, about fighting must know that
Corbett is wishing to make a draw of it. IT
Corbett can keep all right Tor six rounds I
fear Jonn L's chances will be small. Coi
bett i not a fighter. He knows, or at least
he feels sure, tint Sullivan is worse to-dav
than he ever was, and he thinks he will
chase John out of it. He may do that. It is
too far off vet to ma ke an y predictions.
"But I will say this: Sullivan would sooner
meet Corbett than Mitchell, and the latter
would sooner meet Sullivan than Fitz."
He Accepts Prlddy'a Challenge for a Ron
. In the Windy City.
Chicago, March 19. Special. Jordan has
accepted Pnddy's proposition, and will sign
articles as soon as they arrive. He says he
wHl accept $50 expenses and 70 per cent of
the gate if he wins, or 30 if he loses. He is
confident that he can make it very warm for
the l'ittsburg sprinter.
Jordan is tall- and well built, and has
plenty of endurance. The articles, when
forwarded to the Herald office, will be re
turned duly signed.
Mclaughlin All Right.
New York, March 19. Special That good
rider, James McLaughlin, will be seen yery
often in the saddle during the coming
season, as he will ride for Michael F. Dwyer
whenever he can do the 'weight, McLaugh
lin Is lighter at present than he has been in
March for two or three years pat and he
hopes to be able to get down to 113 pounds
when the warm weather comes.
Chicago. March 19. That billiard match
to-night at the Central Music Hall was in
many respects ono of the jnost interesting
ever played in this country. Jacob Schaefer,
the world's champion btlllardist, and Frank
C. Ives, were the contestants in the game,
which was lor 800 points, 11-inch
balk line. The contest was for the world's
championship, carrying with it tho hand
some Bruns wick-Balke-Collender Company's
silver trophy, $1,000 a side and the gate re
ceipts. Henry Bhines was referee, and
Charles Mathews maiker.
The game was made the more Interesting
from the fact that the winner will, before ho
can hold tho title of world's champion, have
to again win it from George F. Slosson, the
latter having already issued his challenge
and posted his forfeit for a game to be
played within 60 days.
To-night's game began at S.-2G. Ives won
the bank for first shot, and scored nothing.
At the outset Ives was quite nervous, and
carefully, almost anxiously, watched each
oneofSchaefer's 45 points secured during
the first inning. Schaefer In Contrast to
bis opponent was collected and allowed, a
slight sarcastic smile to p.iss over his fea
tures us some well played shot was vocifer
ously applauded. ,
In the second inning Ives regained his
nerve, and from that time to the finish the
game was carefully played, each
shot, especally on Ives' part, being
well studied. That the good wishes
of the audience of neaily 2,000
people were with Ives was made evident in
the third inning when a chorus of sympa
thetlc"Ahs"and sighs greeted the announce
ment that Ives had fouled on his sixty-ninth
point. .
At tho end of the first hour eight inninsrs
had been played and Ives, who had 133
points to his credit, led Schaefer by one.
Score by innlii?s:
Ives 0. 27, 63. 1, 9, 6, 13, 9, 18, 60, 0, 1, 5, 13, 1,

A Pathetic Scene In tho Case of Chicago'

Chicago, March 19. Michael Schwelsthal
appeared in tho County Court this after-'
noon. Judge Scales was absent, and the
banker asked for a continuance until Mon
day. Some of the creditors pressed rather
hai d for a hearing.
"I have oome here without an attorney,"
Schweisthal said: then added, brokenly, "I
have no money to litre a lawyer."
After that sobs stifled his voice, and he
turned from the group tnat surrounded him.
Mr. Sehwclstlial's friends hurried him away
from the court before the scene grew more
painfnl. A continuance was agreed to.

FOOTBALL GOSSIP.
The Xccal Team Getting Ready for the Xew
Castle Chan-pions.
The local football team, w ho are to play
tho Xew Castles Saturday next, had a good
practice game yesterday at Kecreation Park.
They played well although the grounds were
bad.
There Is a report current to the effect that
there is trouble in the club. Tho leport is
false, and has had its origination in the fact
that some of the Executive Committeemen
were replaced at the last meeting. These
gentlemen who were replaced could not at
tend the meetings regularly.
It is likely that Mr. J. J. Kelly, ot Chicago,
will be referee for the big match, as the
Frankfort team of Philadelphia have not
been heard Irom. Mr. Kellv wiltes here
stating that he is quite willing to referee
the contest. He is unable and honest man.
The Xew Castle team will be written on the
matter to-mono w.
The 25-Cent Seats.
"A mill worker" and a host of others
write this paper td the effect that it is not
good policy on the part of the local ball club
director to put the new 25-cent seats in
deep center field. Others write in favor of
having no 25-oent seats at all and point out
that the directors have a side of the question
that is a good one.

quests that he be allowed to not report for
duty until Apiil 12, at CincinnatL The

St. I-ons, March It. Special Captain
Jack Glasscock, who will pilot the St. Louis

the city ycsfci day, looking better than ho
cerdid in his long and tucees-fciul service
on the diamond.
"I have been spending the past winter at
home in Wheeling," said ho to a reporter
who saw him at Sportsman's Park, "and I
feci first-rate after two months' regular
practice in gymnasium woik. I am reduced
conMderably- to mv former weight, and am
ready to jump in to play at an v moment."
"What do you think of the Browns?"
"The team selected is a good one. It is
well balanced, has good pitching material,
and in the general depart inents of the game,
in hittin-.', fielding and base-running, it is
strong. I think we can soon get down to
nork. and if the weathei w ill only moderate
n e w ill be in shape to prepare for our big
fcci-on'h w ork."
"What do you think of the prospects for
tho cison?"
They're great. It ought to be the great
est year for baseball on record. Tho two
leading organizations are now one, and St.
Louis will sec all the leading attractions in
the business this car. Then, again, making
two championship races will tend to stimu
late the rivalry and mako matters all the
more interesting all along the line."

"I trust this offer is plain nnd fair enough.

FBED MILLET'S VICTIM IS, DEAD.
He Has Another Wife and Family Living at
Philadelphia.
The final act in the Southside tragedy was
enacted yesterday ' afternoon at 4:30, when
Mrs. Eosa Milley died at the Southside
Hospital. The woman had rallied all
of the previous night and the
greater portion of yesterday afternoon,
but toward the middle of the
day she began to sink and it was evident
she had but a few hours to live. She was
conscious, however, and when told she
could not live long she said she
wanted to make a will. Alderman
Bleichner was sent for, and
after taking her deposition, which
has already been published, he wrote her
will. It is a very brief. document, appoint
ing her son-in-law, James "W. Miller, her
executor and guardian of her -children, to
whom she bequeaths what little "pronertv
and personal effects she had.
A sensational story was started on the
Southside last night to the effect that Mil
lev was never married to the woman he
killed. This, however, is denied, but a
Philadelphia telegram to Roger O'Mara
says Milley had a wife and family living in
Philadelphia, and that he had never pro
cured a divorce. An inquest was held in
Milley's cue yesterday and the-fact estab
Jhhe'd that'jealousy had caused the crime.
