GESKSATj sporting news of THE DAI
rrKCI At TELEOKAH TO TUT Dtr ATfTl.l
Xew York, April It will be news of
a startlinc nature to the baseball world
that the new big Twelve Club League is
governed aud controlled by a comhiuation;
that lour votes absolutely carries the day ill
all its (resent actions; that the four oldest
League clubs are helplessly under the feet
of the American Association clement and
are liable to remain there.
The formation of this combination took
place in Iudianapolis and other "Western
cities before the recent consolidation was
made and was part of the agreement where
by Louisville, St. Louis and the Athletics
were on over.'
The combination of control comprises the
clubs from St. Louis, Cincinnati, Cleveland,
Louisville, Brooklyn, "Washington and
Baltimore. This combination votes as a
whole on all important questions and also
in the election of officers, and a caucus
always controls the vote. Pour votes out
of the s"ven, it is agreed, will goern the
other three in caucus, aud so four clubs .by
this agreement or compact can control (and
in one case at least has actually controlled)
the new League legislation. The real big
four are Von der Ahe, Phelps (who really
represents Louisville), Byrne and Brush.
There is a ring within this ring, although
this latter disclosure will be a surprise to
llobinson, Barnie and Voaderhorst.
DenialOIar 15r Kxpected.
The existence of this controlling cabal
and its methods will, of course, bejgenerally
denied, because to acknowledge -nould be
to overthrow it: but there is no more ques
tion about ils formation arid workings than
there is about the existence of the Consoli
dated League.
Such a combine existed in the American
Association from about 1865 until J8D0. It
originated with Zach l'hclps who believed
that three or four of the brainiest men in the
Association should pull together on all im
portant measures and control the organiza
tion. He picked out his men, approached
them with the scheme and everyone agreed
to it. Had one of the other three objected
to or repudiated the plan it would hate
fallen through.
The men he selected for the council of
four, besides himself, were William Barnie,
of Baltimore; O. P. Caylor, of Cincinnati,
and C. H. Byrne, of Brooklyn. It was de
cided that three of these four men agreeing
should control the fourth vote, and their
three votes if they could not carrv a meas
ure to success, could at least defeat any
scheme to which the three were opposed,
and the slate of three of these four men for
officers and committee would either be
elected or block the election of any other
nominations by reason of a tie vote.
The secret combination existed in the
American Association forseveral vears, and
frequently one of the four xould radically
differ from the of her three on some measure,
but he would be compelled to abide by his
agreement and vote as the caucus decided.
"When the four divided upon any question,
which was seldom, the combination was, of
course, 'ijot in it."
"When l'helps Retired.
After a few years went bv Phelps retired
from the Louisville club and Speas, of Kan
sas City, took his plac?. The combination
then was Sneas, Stern, Byrne and Barnie,
Caylor having been relegated to inactive
baseball life bv the action taken at the
Clc eland meeting in 18SC or 188".
It was this latest combine which caured
the deadlock in the fall of 1889 at the As
sociation annual meeting and which re
Fulted in the split ot that once powerful
body. The combine supported "Wheeler C
"Wyckoff, the incumbent, for President, be
cause he had been "in" with them and
acted as their executor in all their secret
plans. The other four clubs in some way
had gotten knowledge of the Big Four's way
of doinj business and they too formed a
consolidation of their own. Then came the
three days' deadlock at the Association's an
nual meeting in 1889, which resulted finally
in the sudden jump of the Cincinnati and
Brooklyn clubs into the National League.
After Byrne and Stern deserted Barnie and
Speas the Big Four showed this fragment
of the old original cabal no mercy and they
were compelled also to pull out, Speas go
ing to the Western Association and Barnie
to the Eastern League.
In 1890 Von der Ahe.Schmelz, "Whittaker
and Phelps combined for a governing
power, but thev didn't work well together.
Last season Phelps, Von der Ahe and
Schmelz acted as a unit in nearly every im
portant move made bv the Association and
it was through this source that the consoli
dation of the two great baseball bodies was
effected.
A Mistake TTasMade.
"When tl'e National League appointed
Soden, Brush and Robinson a secret com
mittee to work the consolidation scheme, it
made a mistake, for the committee would
never hae accomplished hat was after
ward done, because Soden would have
refused to have entered a secret combination
evsn had he been asked. But his presence
on the committee would have prevented
consideration of any overtures to Von der
Ahe and others to come into the League.
Soden, however, could not give up his time
to go West and B me, by request of some
of the Association peoplej was substituted.
The original cab.i!, as formed by Byrne
and Von der Ahe in St. Louis, was composed
oi six men, intended only to block adverse
legislation as the old original American As
sociation combine had done. The six con
tested of Von der Ahe, Byrne, Phelps,
Barnie, Vonderhorst and Brush. All but
the latter had at one time or another been
members of a similar confederation in the
Association. Brash readily fell in with the
plan and coralled Robinson, who refused to
agree to Sunday ball and was excused.
President Young" was put "on" before his
election, and he is a fnend now of the com
bine. Von der Ahe. Byrne, Phelps and
Brush are a combine within the seven-club
combine. Tl.cy will control all officials and
committees, an'd will see that Boston. Chi
cago and Xew York are no longer the
dominant parties.
Some Very Plain Talk.
Ed Ueilly called at this office last evening
and left the following challenge: "As Bert

WHAT THE SECBETABY SAYS.
Mr. Snlltvan, of the A. A. T7 Declares Him
self About Janssen's League.
Secretary James E. Sullivan, of the A. A.
IT., has the following to say about the new
Athletic Leaane: "The Amateur Athletic
Union was born lighting, and will dio w ith a
battle on Us hands. Athletics have reached
a point where they cannot get along without
a misunderstanding of some kind. There is
trouble within the ranks or the A. A. U. and
I reully never expect to see any improve
ment in this direction. A great deal is being
said about the law recently passed by tho
Union not to recognize associations formed
within the regular divisions of that organi
zation. Most of the trouble we experience
lias arisen lrom jist tlnst state of affairs.
These 1'iside associations are not composed
ot the representative clubs in their locality
in nine cases out of ten.
"Of these leagues, one is in the West, one
in iiulTaln. one on Long Island. Theyfoim
the nucleus of tho movement which has
been made to hive tho present divisions
di ided. so that each might become a sep
arate division. The better class of clubs do
not de-Ire this. Take It in the western part
of the State, for instance. The clubs that
are demanding separate divisions out there
do not represent the real athletic sentiment.
There will be no separate divisions foimed
until there is a gencial demand for them bv
the clubs that aro the backbone of athletics
in their respective localities. Tes, it is true
the Urion will shortly give up Juiisdiction
over boxing."
ENGLISH 'VAESIIY CHEWS.
The Oxford and Cambridge Causing Lots of
British Interest.
JUT CAELE TO THE DISPATCH.!
Iomkb, April 2. Tho practice this week
shows that the Univeiity crews aie above
the :n erage. Cambridge has made tho most
rapid progress and although their faults are
at times glaring, they succeed in making
their boat travel. This week thecrew rowed
over the course under favorabla conditions
in 19 minutes 22 seconds, a time which 1ms
only on one or two occasions been beaten and
they were rowing as sti ongly In the last half
mile as at tli e.start. It was a strikingly good
perfoi inance.
Oxford is as near perfect in stylo as a crew
can well be. They have done some hard
work this week, and in sharp twists against
strong crews of Thames amateurs the Uni
versity men have shown to conspicuous
advantage. On Thursday, Oxford rowed
from Putney to Hammersmith in 7 minutes
29 seconds the fastest time for the distance
on it-cord. The men kept up 30 as the rate of
strokingandwfcen "easvall" was cried there
was not a man in the boit who had not had
quite enough of it. Had they done this in tho
race itself Cambridge would have lowed
them down in the last tw o miles. Provided
tho Oxford crew aro not overtrained the
race next Saturday should be a close one.

Fitzsimmons also is cognizant of the fact
that Hall and mysolf. will be in England in
less than four weeks for a two months' stay,

There are not many flies on the East End
Gyms, to use a common, every-day street
phrase, and that young man Thompson who
pitches for them need not blush to, tell his
acquaintances that he is a ,pitclier. The
Gyms hustled the new League representa
tives yesterday afternoon at Exposition
Park to a somewhat uncomfortable degree,
and at one time there w'as a probability of.
defeat being the lot of our expected cham
pions. There were about 1,200 people on the
grounds, and they saw a thoroughly inter
esting game. It was not brilliant, to be
sure, but there was a closeness and a neat
ness about it at this early stage of the year
that kept all the spectators in good humor.
Exhibition games, as a rule, do not go well,

cause the local sluggers, hadn't the soft

The grounds were far from being good,

that the outfielders were not required to ex

innings from being played. But those peo
ple who thus anticipated were wrong.
Thompson upset all calculations of that
kind, and once more he 'demonstrated tbe
fact that he is a goodpitchcr. Certainly all
the sluggers are not in slusging condition
yet, but he pitched in a way that'gave every
man who faced him to understand that he
has a very good notion ot his business. Not
a run was earned off his delivery. He was
splendidly supported by Berger. The lat
ter not 'only caught well, but was in first
class throwing form. He played in a way
that means he is worthy of a place in the
big League. The East End "fielders dd
tolerably well with the exception of C.
Addy, who made one or two wretched
throws which meant runs.
Baldwin pitched the first five innings for
the home players, and he had the Gyms at
his mercy. Mark was in good form, and he
had capital aim. He pitched in a way that
somewhat reminded one of his best perform
ance".. If he is rightly taken care of he
ought to be in splendid condition for the
opening of the championship season. He
was replaced by Camp in the sixth inning,
and that very lithe youngster kept up his
good name.-' There were six hits made of!
ms pitching, including two doubles, but for
all that he pitched well, and he nabbed
Gumbert cleverly at first. Camp is a hawk
in watching bases.
They Fielded Very "Well.
The Pittsburg fielders generally did well.
Shugart performed much better than on
Friday, and Cork bill, Hanlon and Swart
wood each accepted very difficult chances in
admirable style.
In the first inning Hanlon made a little
scratch hit and reached second on Bier-
bauer's out at first. The Captain got to
third on a passed ball and was nabbed at
the plate when trying to score on a life hit
bySwartwood. Berger's bad throw scored
Swarty. In the fourth inning Bierbauer
led oft and reached second on a yery wild
throw by.C. Addy, who had made a splendid
stop of a hot grounder. Swartwood banged
a single out to center, scoring Bierbauer,
and the latter got to third on a wild pitch.
Farrell's sacrifice hit scored the run. In
the fifth singles by-Baldwin ,and Bierbauer
and an error by C Addy- scored another
ran, and in the seventh Hanlon got his
base on bails, stole second, got to third on
a fumble by Cargo and stole liome.
The Gyms made their first runs in the
seventh. F. Barr started off with a single
to center, reached second on a wild throw
bv Beck ley, stole third and scored on a lite
hit by Haller, Farrell aiding the run get
ting by muffing a thrown ball. After Bsrger
had struck out Thompson's double scored
Barr. In the ninth inning Haller led off
with a fine two-bagger and scored the only
earned run in the game on Berger's single to
center. A neat double play by Shugart
and Becklev retired Berger and Thompson
and Camp threw D. Barr out at first. The

IN A BLOCK OP WOOD

Tannery. Mystery at Mansfield, O.
The Cooleys Again Notes of Nearby
Towns.
tsrECIAL" telegram to the dispatch.
Mansfield, O., April 2. A desperate
attempt, to wreck a tannery was brought to
light 'to-day. About a month ago "W. B.
Carpenter, proprietor of a tannery near the
business part of the city, in going to his
business one morning, was surprised to find
a block of wood on the steps. Out of curi
osity he picked it up and whs amazed when
he found it very heavy and wrapped with
wire. He became suspicious, and several
days aeo he delivered the piece of wood to
C. L. Gibbon, a gunsmith in this city.
This noon Mr. Gibbon took the block of
wood to an unfrequented part of the city
and burned it. Inside was found what ap
peared to bea boHle with a percussion cap
attached. The latter then took the bottle
to a chemist, who analyzed the contentsand
pronounced it nitro-glycerine, and a suffi
cient quantity to blow up a whole tannery.
Mr. Carpenter acknowledges that he prob
ably has a few enemies, but cannot con-
,ceive who could have laid the infernal ma
chine at his door.
