Mr. Caylor Explains a Matter or Two About Changing Bales. O. P. Caylor, who knows inoreanont prac tical baseball than all the little clique who are trying to ruin the game by getting it back toward the game of rounders, says: "I want to point out one reason why the diamond should not be enlarged if the game is meant to be enlivened. By placing the pitcher back as intended it will give him moieof a facing position toward first and third base, and make It all the harder for a base runner to getaway. With the angle made more obtuse lie will be ablo to doceive the baso runner still more as to his inten tions to either pitch the ball or throw to the base, Xow. if three feet be added to the distance hich the bae rnnner will have to go the handicap will be still greater, and base running will be practically fciiled. "The great evil in base hall during the last few years has been an insane do9ire to experiment. A lot of socialistic agitators who aro never content except when they nre trying to make the world believe that they know it all in baseball, put in their time exciting the players to rebellion, in venting millenium plans or trying to earn their 'pap' by ursmg 'innovations.' Double seasons, flat bats, livelier balls, "both feet on the ground,' and such fads have served In their vi ay to take publio Interest from the sport." MADDEN'S PLANS. William TTU1 Xot Allow Goddard to Fight SlavInatX w Orleans. Xew Tobk, Dec. 14 Ueiarding the offer of the Olympic Club, of Xew Orleans, of a pulse of $10,000 for a fight between Goddard and Frnnk Slavin, Billy Siadden. the for mers manager, says the proposition will not be accepted. "Goddard is quite willing to meet Slavin," said Madden, "but I wilt not permit him. He has never been deleated, while Slavin and Jacfcson have both suffered defeat. I do not want Goddard to enter the ring un less It Is for championship honors. Jackson whipped Slavin in ten rounds, and there vtouldbe no honor for Goddard In a flyht with Slavin. Goddaranill make one more effort to induce Corbettto fl-ht. He will post $2,500. and chal.enge Corbett to fight tor the largert purse offeied and $5,000 a side. Should Corbett again refuse Goddard will then arrange a match with Mitchell and fight him lor the championship." rX-CHAMPION UEEDHAM BESTED.

Last night, in company with Buffalo Costello, Peter visited Warren Lewis' place on Eighth nvenno. A Sun reporter saw him there in the act of drinking. To look at him a casual observer would not dream that he had been engaged in a wind-mill battle three nights ago. I (mesa I'll have to go to work in a very little while," he "-aid, "and try to get in shape for my fight with Choynskl, which takes place befote the Olympic Club of Xew Orleans, very shortly. The purse Is $7,500 The affair was arranged bororo my tight ith Gonuard, and I was to meet Chovnski, in or low."

He also said that the State lost largely by not being able to assess such properties ai the Western Union Telegraph Company. Keverting to the question of estates, a member of the committee asked Mr. Feit ner what was the personal assessment of Jay Gould. He replied that lor lour years past it had been 5500,000, but for many years prior to that it was only $250,000, and Mr. Gould complained not a little about the increase. Mr. Feitner said that the difficulty in getting at the taxable property of we'althy men was that they always "pleaded heavy indebtedness. He said "that on one occasion Cbauncey M. Depew had told him that Commodore Van derbilt often carried an indebtedness of 20,000,000 and saved from 5 to 7 per cent on his investments by dodging taxes through the debt. LABOR WINS A VICTORY. The Office That Prints World's Fair Cata logues Will Probably Be Unionized. Chicago, Dec li The dispute concern ing the letting of the contract for the print ing of the official catalogue of exhibits to Conkey & Co. is in a fair way to be settled. The Exposition officials have surprised the representatives of organized labor by meet ing them more than half way. The opinion is prevalent that a settlement will be reached by unionizing the Conkey establishment. Mr. Conkey announced to-night that he had no objec tions to labor unions, and that be intended to pay more than union wages to the men who worked upon the catalogue. The committee appointed by the labor union men met the Executive Committee of the World's Fair to-day. The matter was thoroughly discussed, and the labor com mittee was requested to present its charges in writing, which it prom ised to do at 4 o'clock to-morrow aftemoon. The World's Fair officials have promised to make the fullest investigation into the matter, and have promised that it any official has been mixed up with the let ting of the contract his resignation will be demanded, and, if possible, the contract will be annulled. LAWIHO FOE (SPECULATION. An Expensive Statute Which WIU Cause the Hoosiers Much Trouble. Indianapolis, Dec. 14. The decision of the Supreme Court, holding the Black board law constitutional, will probably give rise to a large amount of litigation over the settlement of past offenses. The law provides that half of each fine of 525 assessed shall go to the Proscuting Attorney. In Shelby county Senator A. F. Wray. a speculator, assisted by Attorneys Adams and Carter, brought suit against the C, C, G & St. Louis Railroad in 74 paragraphs, each of which constitutes a separate offense, making the aggregate of 519,000. There are 68 paragraphs against the Pennsylvania Company, amounting to $17,000. Senator Wray's fees in these amounts are 518,350. Prosecuting attorneys in many other counties have been equally industri ous, and, if the law hold, these claims against the railroads will find the Black board an exceedingly expensive one. THETBTJST BREAKS A C0STEACT, And Will Be Sued by tho Directors of One of the Distilleries It Robbed. St. Louis, Dec. 14. Steps are being taken by the directors of the defunct Cen tral Distilling Company, of this city, look ing to the enforcement of contracts assumed by Samuel Woolner, of Peoria, 111., when he purchased the plant for the Whisky Trust. The contracts called for the deliv ery of about 10,000 barrels of spiritB at SI 10 per gallon in reasonable quantities on demand. Some days since stockholders in the old Central Company who held the mnjority of these contracts, demanded the delivery of some of the spirits, and the trnst has failed to comply, though it has filled orders from Baltimore, also called for in the contracts mentioned.
