Man agers and players are un&nimous in favor of a return to first principles. There have been many rumors recently as to what the magnates are going to do, but nobody knows what will be done. There are many alleged causes for the financial failures almost all round and managers and players are numer ous who think the 12-club League is the great source of trouble. Manager Selee's Opinions. In a recent interview with Frank Selee, the Boston manager, he said: "Too manv games, too many championships and too many clubs are what aret ruining baseball, and not till there is a return to the old sys tem of two leagues of eight clubs each will baseball resain its popularity. A continu ance of the 12-club plan will prove disas trous" "When Charlie Comiskey was asked for his opinion, he said: "I think the proper remedy is a return to two leagues of eight clubs each, with one championship and a shorter tcason. "But if there was another American as sociation started, would it not result in an other war?" "I do not think tKere is a good fight left in anv baseball magnate in the country. For that reason I am confident they woufd get along peacefully." Fred PieiFer also favors a shorter session, with one championship, but thinks an East ern and a Western League is the true solu tion of the difficulty. Those who oppose the dissolution of the 12-club League argue that there are not enough Eastern cities for the purpose of forming" an association cir cuit, and that in order to make a satisfac tory circuit it would be necessary to put two clubs in one or two cities, which propo sition would not be listened to. An Important aiatter to Tackle. From all of which it appears evident that the magnates have work before them re quiring the closest attention and best judg ment. At any rate, a gentleman who is in a posi tion to know something said to-dav that there is to be a strong eflort made to have the 12-club league abolished. Magnates are opposed to it, who so far have not publicly The question will be dealt with shortly. TERRY'S GREAT SKILL. He lias Quite an Easy Task In Tooling the St, Louis Browns The Pittsbnrgs Do Some Remarkably Tine Fielding, Partic ularly Shngart Grant Briggs Makes a Poor Show. St-Louis. Sept, 2a Special.- Brooklyn Bill Terry distinguished himself to-dav, and under his skillful CJ& spherical manipu lation, Pittsburg put the Browns to sleep, winning as they pleased. Um pire McQuaid call ed the game at the end of seven inn ings on account of h rt? darkness. It made no dif ference to the Brov. ns. They were not in it at any stage, an d they were easily out classed. Terry's su perb pitching was beautifully backed up, the work of Shngart, Beckley and Bierbauer being of a remarkably clev er nature. Terry had fine control of the ball and he pitched just as easily and as gracefully as ever he did for Brooklyn. The playing of Shngart yesterday and to day has not been excelled by any shortstop seen here this year. It is difficult to under stand why Pittsburg wants to exchange him for Glasscock. Shugart knocked down base hits, threw men out with marvelous skill, and participated in a neatly executed double plav. Genins, formerly with Cin cinnati, took Glasscock's place to-day, and oh what a difierence. Genins was wofnlly weak, and one bad break of his in letting a ball get away from him cost two runs. Hawley was greatly handicapped by Bnjrgs, whose bluff at catching was largely instrumental in costing three of the first six runs. He was in a trance in the second in ning, and the substitution of Buckley came too late and alter the real damage had been done. Hawley pitched effectively with Buckley behind him, and after the" second inning "Pittsburg could do but little with him. No matter how well he pitched, the Browns' very yellow fielding precluded the possibility of "victory, and they "dubbed" away whatever chances they may have had to win. Attendance GOO. Score: ST.

"Dutch" Carter, the long and sinewy baseball star, who made a brilliant record as catcher and first baseman lor the Yale nine last season, has been in town for several days getting ready to enter college. He is accompanied by his father, who is a prominent lawyer of Brooklyn. Mr. Carter has been greatly interested in his son's baseball career, and through him, takes great interest iu Tale and its baseball inteiests in particular. He has inquired into the financial condi tion of tho baseball association, and learn ing that it is not overburdened with wealth, Mr. Carter has made a verv generous offer. He told Captain Lauri Bliss of the nine that he would pay the salary of a profes bioual player through the college season, to coach the ball players in pitching and bat ting. Captain Bliss and President Swayne have accepted the offer with thanks, and the Tale nine will have a first-class coach through the coining season. Toung Carter pitched with tho Staten Island Athletic Club all summer and did phenomenal work. In tho last game he struck out 15 men, only 27 men coming to fhe bat. Carter has played in 70 games this year. Ho promises to bo a star pitcher next season. "Tim" Keefo. of the Philadelphia team, is iiKeij ij uu seicuieju nsiue man to coacn cue pitchers, and ic is thought that he. can ac complish great things with Carter. TAN EALTBEN COtflNQ. The Local Club Gltes Jo Kelly and Two Thousand Dollars Tor Him. In last Sunday's Dispatch it was stated that a deal was in progress to trade Kelly, of the local club, for "Van Haltren, or the Paltimores, the local club to give a sum of money to boot. It was also stated that the deal would bo consummated in two or three days, and It was completed yesterday. The local club gives Kelly and $2,000 for Tan Haltren, and the latter will be uejio to mon ow and will likely take part In to-mor-ron'sgame. Van Haltren Is undoubtedly one of tbe best players in tho count! y, and he will strengthen the local team. He is also a gentleman, and tbe kind or player tbe local cluo desires most. An official of the local clnb stated last evening that an offer had been made the at. Louis Club for both Glea.ou and Glasscock. The deal is not off and Von dor Alio wired the local officials yesterdays stating that the matterwould be definitely dealt with next week when the St. Louis team tame, here. Glasscock's "10 days" expired jesterday, but Von dor Alio lias him to tied up by con tract agreements that he cannot sign with v any club except with Von der Ahe's con- A. Chance fop Crooks. The following reply to the challenge of Jack Creoles, the bull player, has been re ceived at this office: him for fun or money, before or after any (same on thel?lttstmre grounds under these conditions.

Good players are worth money and they usually earn their salaries. VanHaltreh is a good player and ought to be come a favorite here. New York has one of the weakest throwing out fields In the country. Two, if not three, new faces will be seen in the Boston team next season. THE local team and the Lonlsvllles will not play to-day but will play two games here Saturday. Dib'ector HILLINGS said yesterday thai the money given to settle up the baseball trouble last winter was thrown away. Kid Gleasox's peculiar let-down in one Inning almost every game he pitches Is a source of worry and wonder to President Von der Alie. He knows the Kid" Is an excellent pitcher and can't under stand why there should nearly always be easy In onl) oneinulug. The G. W. Trirabur team will play the Sonthslrte Gyms a match game for a stake on the Homestead grounds next Saturday. Gould and Evans will be the Trlmburs' battery, and Casey and O'Brien will act for the Gjmi. A great contest Is ex pected, as the teams have already met four times, each winning two. When the Eastern League decided to cnrtall its season and end on September 16. instead of Sep" tember 30. It shortened Its contracts with itsplav ers, and the question has now" arisen whether it can retain its reservation rights. An appeal has been made to the Board of Control, and the ques tion will probably be decided In a few days. Much surprise has been expressed in certain parts of the country over the poor base stealing rccoid that Mike Kelly has made this season. The question has arisen as to why tie occupies such a position In this respect and why he takes so few chances. To those who watched Kelly ol late the reason Is verv clear. The Boston player is getting entirely too fat to run bases. AMATEUK XYLEE IN TEOUBLE. He Is Charged With Selling a Prize He "Won at Baltimore. Baltimore, Sept. 23. SpecuiM Two orack amateur cyclers are likely to get into seri ous trouble.

Lots of Good Contests at Gravesend and Also at Latonia Track. GENERAL SPORTJMi NEWS OP THE DAI Gbavesend Race Teack, Sept.S!28. Fair weather and a last track were the opening features of a rather uneventful day's racing at Gravesend. After Chiswick, from Foxhall Scene's stable, had won the f, first race in a gallop at post odils ot 7 to 1, with Frieze, 40 to 1, second, and Prince iGeorge, 8 to 5, third, Freddy Gebhart's J20.500 counterfeit Canvass, 8 to 5, broke away from the maiden class by winning the second race after a hard drive with Eose Dauce and Elmer, each 6 to L Had there .been a less vigorous rider on Canvass he Inould still be a maiden.

Cambridge, Sept. 23 The first real foot ball 1 of the year at Harvard was played yesterday afternoon, when the candidates were arranged in two elevens and put la line against one another.. Captain Trafford played for a few minutes on both elevens, but during most of the afternoon the opposing teams were made up as follows: FIRST eleven. second eleven. Collamore....!. e r. e....Bond Walters... L t ....r. t.... Beats Highlands....!, g r. g. ...Williams Lewis Center Russell Acion..r. g 1. g....B.axe Joeneu....r.

Full-back Pbelau Perry Trafford and John Cranston were on tbe field ccicliinz the candidates; each stepped into the line occasionally and ex emplified whit he wanted done. Playing was kept up lor nearly an hour, and ic was hard, continuous playing for that time. At tho end of the atternooh's work tho men were quite willing to rest. Newell, Hallowell and Corbett were out for the fit st time this year. They all appeared to bo in flno physical condition, and played with exceptional snap and lite. Acton and Highlands weie quick and stionir in thelrusli line, but they hadcom- Saratlvely weak men against them. Acton roke through constantly, but he did not soem to know what he onzht to do when lie did get through. He followed the ball well. Tho first eleven had an easy ttme with the second team, and carried the ball down the field about as they chose. Among tho Interested spectators who watched the afternoon praotloe, were J. R. Finlay, who played right guard on the vic torious Harvard eleven two years ago, and Mason, tho baseball and football man. Finlay is East on business conneoted with his mining interests, but Mason has Just re turned to Cambridge lor the college year, and will probably put on his football Jacket to-day or to-morrow. He will be tried at end or tackle. A number of other candidates lay around the field yesterday and passed the ball back and forth. Some of them will be given a chance to show what they can do, but in general the men nn the two elevens are sup posed to be the best material Harvard has. On Thursday, tbe day which begins the college term, a swarm of new men will pnt in an appearance. Captain TrafTord hopes to find among them some promising young plaj ers. PHINCET0HS AT PEACTIC2.

SKELETON OF A WHALE-UZ1ED. Discovery In Alaska of the Eemalns of a i Now Extinct AnlmaL Seattle, Wash., Sept. 23. The steamer City of Topeka has Just brought down from Alaska one of the greatest natural curiosi ties yet discovered in this country. It is the skeleton of a whale-lizard, and Is tbe second .of its kind known to he in Existence. The other was found so'me years ago near Ox ford, England, but Is much smaller than this one. It is now in tho British Museum. Tbe skeleton was discovered .alout lour years ago near the Mnir glacier by a pros pector namedFrankWiiloughby. J. L. Back, of Everett, heard of it, and, having learned its exact location as near as possible, deter mined to find lc and bring it down for exhi bition at the World's Fair. After a long search ho and his Indian assistant fonnd it on top of the glacier, MX miles from the sea, S03 ieet above sea leveJ,and a mile from the place where it was first discovered. It was firmly Imbedded in a great cake of ice, and took the party two days to dlslo Ige It. It had at some time been either crashed or shattered by a fall, for It was somewhat damaged. Tbe nunphoreatcs has been extinct for over five centuries. It is described in nat ural history as "the king of tho land and sea," doubtless from tbe fact that it was equally at home on land or in tbe water. In water its speed was terrific: it swam with its legs, its enormous wings serving to keep its body above the surface, so that it must liavo appeared to bo walking on the water. An Idea of its great sizo can be formed from the fact that one bone weighed 734 ponnd, and the weight of the wholo skeleton is 2,400 pounds. Mr. Buck "Will put the bones together at his home, at Everett, and nltbr exhibiting the skeleton there will send it to the Smith sonian Institution for exhibition at the World's Fair.
