(SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TITE DISPATCH.
2Er York, Sept. 2& The opinion that
there should be radical changes in the sys
tem of conducting the baseball champion
ship is not confined.to the magnates. 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

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

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:

GOOD FOE YALE.
A Professional Baseball Coachcr Offered
Them for the Entire Season.
Xew Haven, Sept. 2S. "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

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.

English Racers Arrive.
New Tore, Sept 28. SoeciaU Ono of the
largest and best consignments of thorough
bred mares, colts and fillies ever brought to
this country arrived in New Tork yesteiday
on the White Star steamer Nomadic. There
wore some CO head in all, twenty of them
being consigned to J. A. & A. H. Morris and
the remainder to Tattersalls of New Tork.
Neither A. J. Cassatt's celebratod hackney
.stallion Ci'det nor Marcus Daly's two valua
ble yearling colts, which wero expected to
arrive, were on board. They will piobably
come by the next steamer. The Noraadlo
had a very smooth passage, and alt ot the
horses seemed to be in first-rate condition.
Tho Mortis yearllngsare a fina-looking lot,
and as soon as they got on the dock they
convinced everyone that they were alive by
nearly kicking that structure into the river.
In the Tattersall consignment tbe stallion
Candlemas and the bay mare Ormolu at
tracted the most attention, although the
others were a fine-looking lot.

FIESX 0? THE SEASON.
Harvard Football Players Lino Up and
i Have Their Initial Game.
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

arkbee:!:-;:::.v:::: Haif-b.cs. :--:
Brewer. 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.

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.

The barometer has risen over the Lake)
region? and the Northeast, and is generally
above me normal from tho Central Missis
sippi Valley to Now England. A depression
of decided intensity is central over tho
Lower Saskatchewan Valley, having ,ad
vanced eastward from over British Colum
bia in tbe past 24 hours. Threatening con
ditions are reported from North Dakota,
Montana and the Northwest, and a belt of
cloudiness with occasional light rains covers
Missouri and Western Illinois. Bains are
also reported from the Florida stations.
Elsewhere fair weather prevails.
The temperature has fallen over the Lake
regions and Northern New England, owing
to the cool northerly winds from the high
pressnre area advancing over that district,
but shows a general slight rise elsewhere,
except over the Northwest States, where
the rise Is more decided. The weather oa
Thursday should be generallv &lr In all
districts, except the usual rains in Florida
and probable light rains over the North
west. Present conditions tend to the belief
that the threatening area over Missouri and
Illinois will be dissipated during the night.
