Tltcomb and Murphy Sold to New York and O'Brieii to the MeU. JERSKT CITY, N. J., Aug. 26. It looks very much as if the homo club was preparing to fol low the example ofO-swi-go, Utica and Bingham- ton, as to-day long pending negotiations for the ale of tho three best men in the team wore con- summated, New York getting pitcher TUcomb »nd catcher Murphy, and the Metropolitan Club first baseman O'lJricn. The battery, it is said, cost New York $3,000. Ledell Titcomb wna born in Haverhill, Mass., l» 23 years old, 5ft. 9in. high, and weighs 157 pound <. He bogan playing with the Haverhills in 1884 against all the lending Bay State clubs. In 1885 the club joined tho Now England League and Titcomb went with it. Ho made an excellent record that year, nnd in an exhibition game Ihe I'billies got only four safe hits off h.s delivery and were beaten by two runs to one. Harry Wright then ligued Titcomb to ploy with the Phillics in 1SS6, but be left that clnb early in tho season aud \veut wilb Die Athletics. He also secured his release from that club and joined the Jersey City team. When with the former club ho was wild. Since joining the jer--ey City toiim, however, ho has been playing a remarkably trong game, leading by lona; od.is any pitcher in tbe International League, and tho HiilHes wanted him luck. Brooklyn n'so tried to get him. Patrick Muruhy, his catcher, is a great back stop and thrower, nnd under tho Od rules last yenr made a fine average. He is 27 years of ase, weighs ICO playing remarkably well, but she has commenced i too late, aud th« re is little probability of her taking the lead. Dei Moinrs is in a fair way to get ahead hut her spurts are spaimodic aud this one will not last St. Paul is easily bea'cn i»ow that her luck )>ai worked off, And is almost an unknown quantity iu ihe finish of tho race. In spite of the fact that the Des Moines, Oslikoan, St Paul, and, in fact, all the clubs have been expending a great deal of money in securing new and valuable players, Manager Hart has pursued an even tenor and made but two changes ia the Milwaukee team, a the &Hine time keeping up a lead, though at times liar, prewed. The home team has played great ball, both at h»n>e and abroad, aod yith the exception of St Paul, won majority of every seties of games playei thus far. The attendance, in spite of the fact that ihe home team was in the lead, has not been as large aa in St. Paul aud Minneapolis, or in DOJ Monies, excepting on Sundays. Manager Hart is running the club 01 his own responsibility, so he say?, while the othei teams are owned by wealthy men of tho various cities and on (hut account he is unable to buy expensive players and pay extravagant salaries, as Oihbochhaa done. Milwankeeaus, however, have ample reason t be proud of their base ball club, and should try t< patronize it aa it deserves. There are prospect* of an American Association team being placed here nex season should the homo paironauo warrant puch an experiment, and it ia hoped the scheme will go through TOPEKA TOPICS. A Successful Trip Misstatements Corrected Club News and Gossip. TOPEKA, Has., Aug. 22. Editor SPOKTISO Lir The Giants returned home last Tuesday from a very successful trip, they, winning Dine out of thfrteei games plavetl, losing two games each to Hastings sn Lincoln. The boys complain bitterly of ihe treat men rect-ivtd at the hand* of the umpires in both Hasting and Lincoln, especially in the lait earned place. Tlm Kansas City Club played Ihpir ft mil series iu thi city Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday of last week and were beaten three straight. The result of th Kansas City st-rieaon tho home grounds is eight vie tories and one dt-feat for the home team. TLat individual who signs himself "Quill," bu wh(«o real name is very well known here, makes som very rash tttemeiU* iu his l«'ter of the fith ins There is no record-playing in tho Topek* Club as th brillitnt individual atiiteH, as every man pulls toeethe ami ttiey go after everything tdatis hit at them.

Jimmie Little, while h«re, was Ihe recipient of diamond etml from r>no of his Kaunas City admirers about the s'ze df a s'lver dollar, aud he is justly prou of his beautiful and coetly present.

The Team's Winning Streak More Trouble Over Sunday Games, Etc. MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 24. Editor SPORTING LIFE: The Minneapolis Club ha/at lost struck a winning gait, which if kept up will give them a good fighting chance for the pennant. -Fiv< members of our club, Whiklemnn, Foster, Mur- ray, Shaw and Kreig, wore arrested for playing ball Sunday week and bound over to appor in the district court in September. An injunction is threatened by the "Law nnd Order" people in rase they attempt (. play aga'u on Sur-duy, whicl they undoubtedly will, as Sunday frame* are vt>r profitable, tho atteudaiicu being ftiim 2,500, to 3,500. I sincerely hopo the day Is coming w lit-u people gen erally will recognizo the fart thit ''Sunday wan made for man, not man for Sunday," aud that anything thit tends to rest and recreate will be cousideret right and proper on the Sabbath day. I think the person who works six dayw in the week, with no op- portunity f'>r amusement or recreation, can derivL nmeh benefit fn>ni a little innocent amusemoat on Sunday such as witnessing a ball game.

Milwaukee, Though Unablo to Strengthen, Still Has the Best Chance for Winning It. MILWAUKEE, Aug. 23. Editor SPOJITISG LIFR: Oshkosh and Dos Moines are both play- ing to win just now, while Milwaukee and S'. Paul, which started out for first andsecond place." »t such & rapid gait, are in danger of being set back from tho places which they worked so hard to atlain. Tho smaller fellows, Minneapolis, Duluth, La Crosso an! Eau Claire, are all play- teg much better ball than they did previously, ml it is hard to tell what places they will occupy before the season ends. However, there is only one last place and that seems to be firmly gripped by Eau Claire, which club gives promise at times of great things, but fails to keep up her C l woik. Milwaukee hn« still 45 gamiw to be played. jr about one-tbird of these are to be played with Ibe leading clubs. The rest of tbe fames ate with the iBmller club«.

Tho success of the Chicago Club's fight for total abstinence in its ranks has had its effect and there is now considerable talk in favor of the League itself taking up the temperance question this fall. Tho plan suggested is for tho incor- poration of a clause in the contracts requiring each player to abstain from intoxicating liquors absolutely during the regular season. It is urgue.l that experience hai fc hown that local man- agers for various reasons are unable to abate this evil. Wlieii an attempt in made to discipline a man he is in- directly encouraged in his bad behavior by some club stepping iu aud ottering aconsideiation for his relvute. According to the plan suggested, when a plnyer goes "off on a toot" the League, through its representative, will step in and place a fine upon the offender, notify- ing the club of which lie may he a member and collect- ing it through the manager on tho following pa}-day. Any man peiristing in dissipating will be suspendeJ a certain length of time during which no nuuia^er will beallowel to communicate with the clnb for bis re- lease or transfer. On tho temperance question the League is to have full power. On all other matter* ot discipline the local managements are to exercito their ituthoiityas at pnseut. This it is thought will effec- tually weed out tbe drinking element or make them abandon tbe habit entirely for six months in the year. REMARKABLE PITCHING. Bohn and Handiboc Retire a Team With- out a Base Hit of Any Kind. Charles Bohn, pitcher of the Mansfield Club, of the Ohio State League, gave a wonderful per- formance in the box against the Cantons on Au- gust 22. Not asemblanie of a base hit was made by the Cantons, nn.l so perfect was the fielding of the Mansfields that not a Canton man reached first base. Only twenty-seven batsmen faced Bohn in the nine innings, and nine were etruck out hy his remarkable work. The lull score of this re- markaWe gHlno appears in the Ohio League's columns. Handiboe.of theColumbug Club, al*ojdid gieat work against the Akrons on August 21, not a single man reaching fir*t, either in a hit or a base on balls. He was not as well supported in the field, however, as Bohn. This Handiboe is a younger brother of the'ex- 1'ittiburg pitcher of the same ncme. Such exhibi- tions aa these are very rare in the annals of base ball. is behind nine ten games. , . ne games, and Oshr.osb is in iho rear by .

OalikUli It Severed Him Right. William Rinkin, the base ball reporter of the New- York Sporting World, was ruled off HIM Polo Grounds by President Day, of the New York Club, on Monday, owing to anariiclo which appeared iu Hie Spor/ing World stating that base ball was crookid. Here Is an- other instance of base bail writers whose interests ought to be, and aie, identical with those of the game they write about trying to do it grave injurv merely to manufacture sensntions or to gratify malice.

A Meeting of the Arbitration Committee Asked for The Reasons. The American Association haa finally taken an important and decisive step in the Beatin case through its representative on the Arbitra- tion Committee, Secretary Byrne, a copy of whose letter, requesting a meeting of the com- mittee to consider the case, with the grounds therefor, ia hereby appended: CINCINNATI, 0., Aug. 20. MR. N. E. YOUNG, CHAIRMAN BOARD OF ARBITRA- TION i>«ar Sir: On June 27, 18S7. Mr. Ed Uealin and Mr. Thos. Kinslow, ball players, at that time in the city of Alleutjwu, Pa., signed each for himself an agreement to play base bull with Iho Cincinnati Rage Ball Olub, said agreements setting forth the compen- sation each man was to receive for bis services. Upon the aamo day, aud immediately upon the signing of said agreements by Btatin and Kinslow, Mr. G. H. Schrnelz, the manager and agent of the Cincinnati Base- B;ill Cmb, forwarded to Mr. W. C. Wikoff, presi- dent and secretary of the American Association, and also to you as president and secretary of Ihe National League, notice by telegraph of the fact that Beatiu and Kinslow had signed with tho Cincinnati Club. Immediately upon receipt of stid notice, Mr. Wiknff, as required to do by our constitution and the National Agreement as well, promulgated u* tice of such contracts and upon notice from bim to you, it was presumed you would, iu the ordinary course and as required hy tho Agreement, promulgate *aid notice. This you declined to do, I Kin informed, i,u the ground that Messrs. Beatiu and Kinslow were virtually already ui.der contract with the Detroit Club, a club member of the Natloi-al League, utie of tho patties to the National Agreement; it being claimed th>it Bentin and Kinalow had name 1 their tt-ruis to the Do'roit Hub ami the same had been accepted prior to the tigoing of the agreements with the Cincinnnnti Club. Having in Its possession agreements signed by these men, which, under the respective constitutions of tlip League and Association, and also by the provisions of the Agreement, are n'ganlod as binding contracts, the Cincinnati Club ordered these men to report to said club in New York for duly and furnished them fund* fo to do. Instead of reporting as they agreed to do in New York, they reported to tho Detroit, Club and it is presumed are now with eaiJ club. Failing to report for duty as they were obligated to do under the con- tracts made and signed voluntarily by them, the Cincinnati Club availed itself of its rights aud privileges and suspended the two players for non-fuiflllnnnt of COD tract, at once notify- ing Secretary Wikoff of Hi action and he at once promulgated notice in regular form. This notice yon hnvo 8''eti fit to utterly ignore and disregard. While disclaimin? any right or intention of reminding you of your duty I am finite euro it was clearly your duty under the requirements of the Agreement to promulgate said notice, it boing regularly Issued and It was emin<ntlv proper for you to aw-ume lhat a party to tho National Agreement would hardly is>uo so important a notice without substantial reasons therefor. I am Informed by Mr. Wikoff (hit upon his cillinsr ymir attention m re direct ly to his iiotic < of fcuspcii- sion, yon advised him that you were satisfied Detroit's cliim to Messrs. Beatin and Kinslow was a good ami valid one, and that ended the matter so far as tho League win concerned. Permit me to suggest that your tpse d'r.et diws not settle this matter so far a-t either the League or tho Association is concerned. The League and Association b^ing thf creators of and the parties to the National Agreement, and tlu same boing in force, it remains to bo seen if nne party thereto can icnore and over-rido the provisions and conditions of Ihe said Agree- ment whenever it sees fit or finds it convenient to do so. If th iff is the fact the sooner tho other party to ttie compact Is made aware of it the bet- ter it will be- for all concerned. Under 'be Agreement a Bo:ird of Arbitration was created, and among the duties of paid board, as defined by Section X , I fiud "They shall also, in the interest r.f harmony and peace arbitrate upon and decide all differences and disputes arising between * * * a club member of one and a club member of the otlier Afsicialion p-*rty hereto." That there is a dispute between tho Cincinnati Club of the American Association, and the Detroit Club, oi tlio National League, as to the services of Messrs ~>atin and Kluslnw, will hardly bn denied. It is 11 matter of puWic notoriety. There bein^a dispute, ii is clearly the duty of tho Board of Arbitration, not the chairmnn, or the tfCretan/, or any itttUv&lnnl tn&nbi ttiereof to determine as to the rights of tho clubs, or justice or injustice of the claims of tho rrspcctm clubs. The Agreement aims to protect the rights am interests of all rartie* to (t and it pn-videa a Iribuna to pass upon questions involving tho righto of al! idt-utifit d therewith. lit this tribumil ihe Cincirm iti Clnb append tlin uph tho Association delegates ant! a-kn to be protected in its rights, whutrver they may bo, in the matter of the services of M-^rs. Beatin and Kirslow, now held by the Detroit Club. I therefor respectfully call upon you as chairman of the Board of Arbitration to call a meeting of naid Board at as early a day as pra-,11 able. If you will permit mo, 1 will pugg^st New York a* the place of meeting and Ser-t. '2, 3 or 4 ns the date, as you deem best I suggest thfl^e dates for the reason I will not bo able to got back before Sept. 2, and at that time Messrs. Phelps and V<,n der Ahe, my co-delegates, wi be in the Ka«t with their clubs. Mr. Day will prob- ably be iu New Ynrk at that time, and Col. Rogers can un o^er from Philadelphia. It may CAU«O you some itt'e inconvenience, but I know how willing you are at all times to suffer for the general good, and, as the meeting can be made brief, it will not kefp you away any length of time from your iappy household. I shall advise the Cincinnati Club to te present and furnish us with their sido of Ihe case md trudt you will a'lvisr- tho I)e:roit Club to do like- wise. It seems to me only fair that the Detroit Club ihould refrain from using either of the mon named intil tho question at issue is settled. I cfafuld liko to iear from you by wire or mail on receipt of Una. I will be at the HawUy House, Cleveland, until Vedoesday, Aug. 24, thence to Louisville Hotel, Jonisvillo, until Aug. 28. thence to Lindell Hotel, St. mis, until Aug. 31. With sincere good wishes, Very truly yours, C. II. BYRNF. When President Young was in town last week he hod but little to say about the case, ex- 'ept that he thought his course in the matter ccmed to him right and according to the rules. ie deplored the fact that through tho ambiguity f the National Agreement as to when a minor oague'a protection lapses, such a case as his had been made possible. He wished t was already settled and stated that he would willingly call a meeting of tho Arbitration Com- mittee when requested to do go. Nevertheless up to the hour of going to press he had not acknowledged the receipt of Mr. Byrne's letter nor-appointed a date for a meeting of the Com- mittee. Detroit has been excited, judging from our )etroit letter, over the receipt by Beatin and vinslow of contracts from the Cincinnati Club,and otters formally demanding their signature to he contracts. These were probably sent not nth a view to taking the men from Detroit, iutto make Cincinnati's case complete by com- >Iying with Section 33, of the Association Con- titution, which requires that a player who has igned an agreement with a club must sign a egular contract within thirty days after making he agreement. the proprietor of the house dance on the parlor tabl broke the furniture, terrifieJ the inma-es, who jumpe out of tho windows, and pouuded Smith on the hea with the butt of his revolver.

Editor SPORTIX LIFE: The Southern League has passed throug! another little squabble, but, as usual, earn through it right side up, and once more dis played the grit and determination that ha characterized its actions in every difficulty i has met from the outset. We all hated to se Nashville drop out of the race, but its dropping out under the circumstances proved a benefi rather than an injury. Five clubs caused sev eral expensive lay-offs, whereas now the fou clubs can play a close schedule with more game: on the home grounds. New Orleans is now well in tin load, and a* all tho players are in flue form, excep Kwiug, we ought to keep in the lead and win the pen- nant handily. The League for next season is giving people in this neck of tho woods more serious thought LOW than the present one. That there will be a Southern League next (Mason there is no question, thong] there is some question aa to what cities will com pose it and the plan upon which it will be run. I am positively In favor of the percentage plan and believe that it la the only eafe one for all the minor leagues. It was upon that plan base bal was fostered and built up, and the minor leagues & least must look to tbat plan for Iheir success. A league of clubs must be considered as organization, each club forming a part, and each part is necessary to the other, the stronger part, must take care of the weaker (ones, or the weake ones fail. This plan also ^ives the club that is no drawing well at home a chance to strengthen up, fo tha stronger ihe ctub the better they draw, whereas on the guarantee plan, if a club h weak and not draw ing well at home they have no chance to strengthen up, and tho whole league becomes a loser in CUM se- quence. Though New Orleans is the best drawing city iu the S>mih, we are willing to go into nex season's League upon tho percentage plan, and so declare ourselves now. Had the Southern ]>aeu Blurted on the percentage p'an this year it would no havo kwt a single club. I woul i like to «ee an eight-club Southern League m'xi season, made up as follows: Richmond, Norfolk Charleston and Atlanta forming the EasVrn division, nnrt Memphis, Nnshvil'e, Birmingham at d New Or- leans the Western. Some may claim that these dis lances are too great, but I hold it is better to pay little more railroad fare and go to good towns than pftv a little less and play to empty benches for a ehor while in poor towns, and then suffer the annoyance o having these empty-bench towns drop out a little late on. If NorfolkandRichmondwillcomeIn, tbe Southern League next y^ar will be made up pretty near a named above. The winter Vase ball managers havo overlookei Mew Orleans in their mat ru-tti for California thi season. This city uow has ttie .greatest ba«e bill boom ever knov. n in iho Sout!i, and, from Oct. 15 to Dec. 1 tb the prettiest season of ihi year for base ball in Ne Orleans. Tbe game is likely to bo overdone this season on the co.ist, and I think some of the teams that ar poing to California would make more money here An effort will he mide to have the teann going to California either g> or return vit New Orleans, ant each play a week here. The Southern route i* tho bhorff*t aud the pivttiodt one to tha conjt in the fall ai»d, brides tho g;iruea in New Orleans, games could be arranged in Gabeston aud L->s Angeles. The total fines on the local [Jayen this season amount to only ten dollars, and though Ay debt to wa laid up two months nnd Kinsman one, there wai not a niclile deducted from their s.i"arie*. Tho loc i\a havo signed pitcher \ViJncr, I-ito of the Cincinnati Club. He will be given a trial agalus Charleston ihU week. New Orleans Las beaten Birmingham twelve strat^n guinea. CHEOLE. THE INTERNATINNAX, TROUBLE. The League Umpires. The League btnfi -.f umpires now consists of Doescher, Powers, Chas. Daniels and Jackson Ilrady Daniels succeeds Jerry Sullivan. He id an experienced man, having served in both the League and A*s .ciation as well as iu minor leagues. Hia last berth was as nnn- mtter of tho Hartford Club. Jackson Brady takes V»l- cntluo's place until the latter recovers from his broken itrm. Mr. Brady is a brother of the well-known ex- Melropolit-in player, Steve Brady. He has been giv- ing good satitfiw tion as Kabferu League umpire, and WJM strongly recoinclfindwl to President Young.

First baaemau Smith, of the Eau Cltiro ball team, went to a (Irrefutable house in thehiiburbs in company with a stranger, who gave his name us Taylur and his htme as Oshkonh. Taylor, who waa drunk, dix-w^a tU-ahooter aud made Illiighamton's Disbaiidment Causes a Seri- ous Dispute A Special Meeting Called. The Binghamton Club disbanded last Satur- day, Aug. 20, making the third club that 1ms ;nne to pieces in the International League this ^OudO:i. The remaining clubs are agitated now not so much over the disbandinent as over the disposition to bo made of the games played by tho defunct club. If Binghainton's place can be filled for the remainder of the season all her games will count. If tbe games were thrown out Syracuse, Newark, Rochester, Jersey City and Toronto would have to suffer, while Buffalo, Hamilton, Scranton and Wilke.sbarrc would be the gainers. Syracuse would take a big fa!], her loam having won ten out of the twelve games with Bmjthamtou, ami film thr utens to withdraw if the games aru nut c-nintyl. Iu regard to counting the ganua S<crera:y C. I). White fays: "I think that tho first four panic's participated in by Binghiunton with a'l other clubs should count. Al- though Bingliamt'-n only plajed two g tinea with Scranton, it played two gumes wiih Osw^go, and if tho Oflwego ganns with Binyhamton are not laken in ci nideration it will make an unequal ratio. 'Ihe board ol direct* rs will bo sole judg< s, how ever." The cons ! itution, however, provides that when club dlsbaudn and tho va ancy U not flllfd, just so many of th« pantea dial! be couiitad with each te-tm HS aro equal to the least number p'ayrd by tho dia- bunded club wiih any other club. Binghamtou bad only played two gamea with Scnnton. Therefore it icenis (hat the fi:st tw,i srame^ played by each club with Biiighamton eh .uld alone be counted. This would probably destroy Syracuse's chances for the pennant, and R'xlu-slcr wonl'l be nowhtre. It ii ar- gued (hat Biu^lumton had played four panics with Oswego, Scrantou's predecessor, making six with Iho Oswigo-Scrauton combination, and that this should be the basis of distribution. The vexed matter will be settled at a special meeting of tho League to be held at the Genfcfeseo HOUPC, Buffalo, N. Y., Tuesday, Auir. 30. It is said lhat Elmira will tako Binghamton's place, in which event all will be clear sailing. THE CALIFORNIA WINTER SEANCE. Four Combinations Already Booked to Go- Where They Will Play, Etc. From present appearances there will be at least four Eastern base ball combinations on the Pacific coast next winter, viz., Jim Hart's Chi- cago combination, Watkins' Detroit team, Mu- trie's New Yorks, and the St. Louis Browns, un- der Geo. Munson. Tho Browns and Detroits will likely play at Alameda Park, at Oakland; Hart's Cuicagos at Central Park, San Francisco, and the New Yorks in the same city, at the new Haight slreet grounds. The inU-ivst in these various contest* will he so great that undoubtedly there will bean interchange of games between the Si. Louis Browns, the N»-w Yorks, Detroits an 1 Chicagos. Mr. George Muuaon, the Browns' secretary, will leave St. Louis about Oct. 30 for the far West, and en route will arrange games for the Browns at Kaunas City, Denver and S'tlt Lake City. Tbe Browns will leave St. Louis about Nov. 10. Thty have already ar- ranged for a series of ten games with ihe LVtroits on the Alameda grounds, tut they will probably take part in full fifty game?before returning Kast. "They will remain iu California from November until tha latter part of January. It will thus be seen that the coast is to have as good hall thi? winter (if not better) as Iho Eastern cities havo had during this, the regular sea- on. There is an obs'acle, however, to the Eastern teams playing on tht1 coast which should bo adjusted as soon as possible. There are two blacklisted players in the einplov of the California League, viz., John J. Smith, blacklisted by Loui-ville, and Donah UP, of tho Havcrlys, blackliit'-d by AiUnte. Perhaps the Na- tional Agreement doesn't apply to or have jurisdiction over tramping Eastern clubs in tho winter, but since these comliiualiana propose to travel under the name and presumably function of noted League and Asso- ciation clubs, it might be made to apply, and thereforo to bo on tl:e &a!e side the backers of these winter anapa would perhaps do well to exert themselves to have the disability of these two me-a removed. The Signs Are "Agin" It. President Stearns, of Detroit ia quoted as fol- lows by an interviewer: "I am a believer in a twelve-club league, and think t has g-:.t to come. I am in favor of taking a good mini like Mr. Mil's, for instance, and paying him a ud salary, say 810,000 to run the league. A man o would give his entire attention to the business. One who had no favorites and no prejudices and was jnder obligations to no club. Make him plmost a dic- ;aior, subject only, under certain rules, to the board of directors, composed of the president* of the several clubs. It's a scheme that is laughed at by many, but he immense and growing popularity of tho game will brce its ad iption IT a moMfied addition to it." This contains a pretty hard and undeserved ship at President Nick Young. As for the .welve-club scheme, it "hasn't got to come," and will be a long time maturing. There are two big >rgaiiizations now in tbe field, friend Stearns; here's room for them; the people who support >ase ball want them, and they'll stay quite a good while yet. You'll got cold on the twelvo- club scheme by-and-bjr. MOVESOFIMPORT The Date of the Associa tion Meeting Changed. A Significant Movement by the Minor Leagues in Con- templation, THE ASSOCIATION. The Chances for Percentage Still Brigh The I>ate of Meeting Changed. As foreshadowed in our last issue, the date o the special meeting of tho Association has been changed according to the following notice: COU'MBUS, 0, Aug. 24. The special meeting ha been changed from Sept. 3 to S*-pt. 5 by requrst of th' clubs. WHEELER WIKOFF, Secretary. The object of the change is two-fold: Firstly to prevent a lay-over in New York over Sunday should the business demand moro than one day' attention, and secondly, to enable tho Associa- tion to await the action of the League and the Arbitration Committee in the Beatin case, ant to resolve upon decisive action should such be- come necessary. As to the umin question, "percentage or guar- antee/'' there are no new devevopments. There haa been a lot of private conferring and much quiet discussion going on over the matter be- tween the clubs, and from what can be gleaned the outlook for percentage is eren brighter than it was a week ago. Cleveland, Louisville, St. Louis and the Mets are, of course, solid for it, Cincinnati is said to favor it in return for some concessions, and the Athletics are also prepared to turn in for it in certain contingencies. Mr. Vonderhorst, of Baltimore, who was in town for a few hours last week, was non-committal, but stated that he would act as seeinod to him good for the Association as a whole. Even Brooklyn, hitherto the staunchest supporter of the guaran- tee plan, while not willing to go the whole hog on the question, is willing to make some sort of compromise. With all the clubs in this frame of mind it ought not to be so very difficult to arrive at an equitable solution of tho most impor- tant question the Association has ever been called to consider. ANOTHER MOVEMENT. Minor leagues Scheming For a Reserve Rule Within Themselves. Special to SPORTING LIFE. NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 27. There is a move- ment on foot, the object of which is to form an organization of all tho minor leagues now under the National Agreement. One of the objects ol the organization will be to establish the Reserve Rule among the minor leagues wit/tin tkemeelvet. Another one of it.s objects will be to try and prevent the National League and American Asso- ciation from signing minor leaf ue players without compeniation tor tho same. Those discussing the movement seem willing that these two associa- tions shall be entitled to sign players reserved t>y the minor leagues, but they also believe that it is not fair for those organizations to sign a pljiyer that a minor league has spent money in developing without compensation. Tho?e and the general interests of the minor leagues looked after in an organized way teem to be the objects of the movement. ClihOLE. FROM: THE CAPITAL. Poor Showing; of the Senators Since Their Return Why the Ward Deal Failed The Pool Selling Nuisance Shaw Laid Off- News Notes. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 26. Editor SPORT- ING LIFE: The successes in Boston last Satur- day ver.v fittingly closed a suscessful trip, and the victories were duo more to the excellent work of Whitney than to any other member of ;he team. The result of the trip is very satia- actory, for the club started out in a very bad condition, and a club of amateurs could have defeated them when they were either in Indian- apolis or Chicago. The games at home, so far, since the club's return, have been one-sided and ;he Senators have been the sulfercr. j , and al! .his is due to wretched fielding. Only Ilines ind Dealey have shown up in their best form, while the balance, outside of the batteries, seem ;o have taken a week off. And it eeoms ever ,hus. When the audjenoes become of good size .he team goes to pieces and gives such disgust- ng exnibitions that the people stay away. The ;ry has been raised that this city will not sup- port a ball club. Well, if the club wiil hut play U-a-ly ball I will wager that the people will be ti-ady in their attendance. The exhibitions this ek. were enough to disgufct even a base ball raiik. HE WARD DEAL THE POOL-SELLING NUISANCE. In conversation with Mr. Hcwitt he 8»yd "that tho rhnle reason that the WarJ transfer uas not consum- mated was because the outiru press of New Yurk City uinped u[*m Mr. Day's ahouUeru nnd raised a howl Inch he \\m bound to heed. If the prea* had kept till, Ward woull have bomi in Washington to-day tnd plnyiag out rheru in the field. In»tcu<l, ho wiil ery likely remain ia .New Yoik ;is louj^as ho cares t> :>Uy ball. I have not given him up entirely, but my io|>ts are very small." He further sayu that since that article in a Pitts- jiir* paper appeared, charging the Washington play- rs with crookedness, that he baa been luvoKtigitthig t, aud -'I am golDg to make a naove upon the telo- ph companies. I ahull call tho attention of the j<-ajaio to the fuel that one end of the wire Jy on the all Held and the other eud terminates in a p»>ol room. will nut pennit it auy longer, and if they persist in li!B kind of business I ahull throw their uirt-M over lie fence aud not let tlum into the grounds at all." PITCHER SHAW'S CASE. When Shaw was seut home from Pittsburg ho was ry loud in his grievances to tho press, and an- ouDCtd that he would not play hall in this city or vith the club. As 6<ion as Manager Gaffuey returned o iufurmed th*» '"Wizard" that ho would piny iu Mon- ay's game. After the negotiation:! tor his release r e>e olT the directors decided that as he hud not iu wo years boon pitching in puod shape that >ey would KIVO him but one more trial, [o went in the box Monday, and the 'ay Detroit pounded him was tcnible. He was, after tho game, suspended indefinitely without ay. To Bay that the public approved of this uct would e putting it mildly. No man ever was dealt with- lure leniently. He was given a good salary and was indly trcaied. Whenever he complained of his piiy- cal condition he icsteJ at the expense of the club, 'et he would only at tinn-s do his best am) the reit of id work WH*of an indifferent chivrac't-r. His siupen- on was merited, and l;c wiil stay thera for somu time coinP, and it will be v/oll for him to buy his own re- ease as it seems as if no other club is willing to put p any dual for it. MINOR IfE.NTtOS. The day that punishment was uietoil out to Shaw it was lumurod that Shock had been released, but such a^ in t the case. The question of big rc-leiso w*w c,>n- dert'd, but it was decided to hold him a wliilo longer, his young playtr did sumo very effective work with 10 stick in the early part of the season, and his Lat- ug was RO stiong that witli his loojr, unlucky streak, e has yet a very creditable average uiid a goodly tmm- jer of stolon basop.

Manager lUruie had no sooner set foot in St. Louis with his Oriole song birds than a reporter of the Kepublican co'lared him and extracted . hugo chunks of base ball lore. Regarding the Beitin-KinsJow affair Barnio is quoted assaying: "I think Mr. Young assumed entirely too much. authority. He must remember he is not the National Agreement. Whatever the facts in the Ecutin-Kinrilow matter, Mr. Young should by all means have listened to what the Association had to say before he so summarily rendered a decision in the matter. It was an in?ult to our body, and we should not let it go unheeded." When tho reporter asked concerning the make- up of the Association next year, the Usltimoro manager said: "Well, it will'bejujt the same as it is this year." He emphasised the state- ment v:ith a nod and a wink the nod implying that he knew what ho was talking about anil the wink that he wnsu't goincr to jmv away the pr*ciso reason v;hy he knew it. '-Yes sir, the talk about Louisville ia a f«ke, and Mr. Von dt-r Abe ingoing to stay where it will bo for his best interests." "Aieyou in favor cf percentage? 1' "No, sir, 1 am not. NeverlheUed, I am for the in- terests of the Ai-ocwtlon." "Supposing Mr. Yon der Ahe demands it? "Let him denimi-i. We aie not ruled by any one cluh and nre not 11 be bn'ldojwd. Mr. Von der Ahe 't force the ptTceiita.-e through, but h* may be able to get it through. That's diftVr*nt, ywu know"." "Are you in favor of giving Ihe champion club a e;«cia1 percentage on account of it's being ihe cham- pion club?" "Ye»; (hat Is fair and a good rule. That ought to be nutde a rejtnlur thing." Regarding the League and Association Mr. P>a>nie id; "I wuHlriu't be a bitparprised to nee thj Detroit Club locate at Staten Island next season. The Drtroita can'tstay in unions the LongiM adopt* the percentage, and thitt they won't do. B -stou, Washington and Philadelphia aro dead sj^ainst it, and it takes a two third votH to change the constitution just as it does in our Asfiociat(6ti. Pittsburg ia also against percen- tage." WILKESI5ARRE WIIISrKRS. Shutting; Out the Stars The Excursion Kacket .A Couple of Players Released. WILRKSBARRE, Pa., Aii£. 24. Editor SPORT- ISO LIFE: Our boys havo mude another trip and came home with one game to their credit out of four played, in all of which our club played good bail, but luck seemed against them. This week, owing to Bin?hamton £*-ing by the board, they were compelled to lie idle, ns the League would not allow exhibition g«rnes to b« played with the Syracuse Club.

Kditor SPOHCIM* LIFE: Last Monday the Fiuffalo* finished their East* crn trip, which was the most succc<sful one ac- :omplished by any International League team his season. They played sevent«cti games, finning ten. The closest game of the season was that played at Syracuse on the 19th, ten. nnings being played without a run. Fanning cored the winning run in the eleventh. During the past week tw>> additional pitchers ave been signed. W. F. Caliban, the wcll- vnown pitcher of the Elmira CUib, was secured n Friday.

VI i at tho Abuses of tho Present System May Lead to in the Near Future. That there are likely to bo sonic great changes n the ba#c ball wurld at the end of this season, r at least before the beginning of another, is retty well known. Matters look smooth enough r. tho surface, but beneath there are strong cur- :nts and counter currents, and no one knows xaetly what may happen. The players are be- inning to grow restive under tbo abuses en- endcrcd by the Reserve Rule. Some of them re men of education, many arc men of shrewd usiness sense. It is a f|uc<tion how long they ill enduro to remain "chattels." If they ever come o any agreement among tbtnnfclves thoy may effect a ivat clmnge. S'M'P »*, for insunce, says the New ork Jif«rt «»rf Exjn-ess, that they were to hold aeon- entiou next Oct-jber, and draw up and adept a "bill 1 righ's." Suppose i lie directors of the Lcajuo refused o graut it. Hupposo, fnrtiier, that thw players there- pon sliould form n co-operative Ita^uo of their own, jporliou their own playora nnd their territory, aiid e^i" next teasou on their o\\n huok. What would be ho rorfuh? Very likely iiothiug of the For t will be tempted ao souu. Stil!, oucl: a thing is by no me,ins ni]>u6siMo, and in case nu change is mwde in the pres- nt constitution of the League uiid the Associiition it ia ardly improbnblo.

IS JERSEY CITY CLOSING OUT?

Tltcomb and Murphy Sold to New York andO'Brieii to the MeU.

JERSKT CITY, N. J., Aug. 26. It looks very much as if the homo club was preparing to fol low the example ofO-swi-go, Utica and Bingham- ton, as to-day long pending negotiations for the ale of tho three best men in the team wore con­ summated, New York getting pitcher TUcomb »nd catcher Murphy, and the Metropolitan Club first baseman O'lJricn. The battery, it is said, cost New York $3,000.

Ledell Titcomb wna born in Haverhill, Mass., l» 23 years old, 5ft. 9in. high, and weighs 157 pound <. He bogan playing with the Haverhills in 1884 against all the lending Bay State clubs. In 1885 the club joined tho Now England League and Titcomb went with it. Ho made an excellent record that year, nnd in an exhibition game Ihe I'billies got only four safe hits off h.s delivery and were beaten by two runs to one. Harry Wright then ligued Titcomb to ploy with the Phillics in 1SS6, but be left that clnb early in tho season aud \veut wilb Die Athletics. He also secured his release from that club and joined the Jersey City team. When with the former club ho was wild. Since joining the jer--ey City toiim, however, ho has been playing a remarkably trong game, leading by lona; od.is any pitcher in tbe International League, and tho HiilHes wanted him luck. Brooklyn n'so tried to get him.

Patrick Muruhy, his catcher, is a great back stop and thrower, nnd under tho Od rules last yenr made a fine average. He is 27 years of ase, weighs ICO

playing remarkably well, but she has commenced i too late, aud th« re is little probability of her taking the lead. Dei Moinrs is in a fair way to get ahead hut her spurts are spaimodic aud this one will not last St. Paul is easily bea'cn i»ow that her luck )>ai worked off, And is almost an unknown quantity iu ihe finish of tho race.

In spite of the fact that the Des Moines, Oslikoan, St Paul, and, in fact, all the clubs have been expending a great deal of money in securing new and valuable players, Manager Hart has pursued an even tenor and made but two changes ia the Milwaukee team, a the &Hine time keeping up a lead, though at times liar, prewed. The home team has played great ball, both at h»n>e and abroad, aod yith the exception of St Paul, won majority of every seties of games playei thus far. The attendance, in spite of the fact that ihe home team was in the lead, has not been as large aa in St. Paul aud Minneapolis, or in DOJ Monies, excepting on Sundays. Manager Hart is running the club 01 his own responsibility, so he say?, while the othei teams are owned by wealthy men of tho various cities and on (hut account he is unable to buy expensive players and pay extravagant salaries, as Oihbochhaa done. Milwankeeaus, however, have ample reason t be proud of their base ball club, and should try t< patronize it aa it deserves. There are prospect* of an American Association team being placed here nex season should the homo paironauo warrant puch an experiment, and it ia hoped the scheme will go through

Probabilities That the League Will Deter­ minedly Deal With the Question thi Fall.Tho success of the Chicago Club's fight for

total abstinence in its ranks has had its effect and there is now considerable talk in favor of the League itself taking up the temperance question this fall. Tho plan suggested is for tho incor­ poration of a clause in the contracts requiring each player to abstain from intoxicating liquors absolutely during the regular season. It is urgue.l that experience hai fchown that local man­ agers for various reasons are unable to abate this evil. Wlieii an attempt in made to discipline a man he is in­ directly encouraged in his bad behavior by some club stepping iu aud ottering aconsideiation for his relvute. According to the plan suggested, when a plnyer goes "off on a toot" the League, through its representative, will step in and place a fine upon the offender, notify­ ing the club of which lie may he a member and collect­ ing it through the manager on tho following pa}-day. Any man peiristing in dissipating will be suspendeJ a certain length of time during which no nuuia^er will beallowel to communicate with the clnb for bis re­ lease or transfer. On tho temperance question the League is to have full power. On all other matter* ot discipline the local managements are to exercito their ituthoiityas at pnseut. This it is thought will effec­ tually weed out tbe drinking element or make them abandon tbe habit entirely for six months in the year.

REMARKABLE PITCHING.

Bohn and Handiboc Retire a Team With­ out a Base Hit of Any Kind.

Charles Bohn, pitcher of the Mansfield Club, of the Ohio State League, gave a wonderful per­ formance in the box against the Cantons on Au­ gust 22. Not asemblanie of a base hit was made by the Cantons, nn.l so perfect was the fielding of the Mansfields that not a Canton man reached first base. Only twenty-seven batsmen faced Bohn in the nine innings, and nine were etruck out hy his remarkable work. The lull score of this re- markaWe gHlno appears in the Ohio League's columns.

Handiboe.of theColumbug Club, al*ojdid gieat work against the Akrons on August 21, not a single man reaching fir*t, either in a hit or a base on balls. He was not as well supported in the field, however, as Bohn. This Handiboe is a younger brother of the'ex- 1'ittiburg pitcher of the same ncme.

THE BEATIN CASE.A Formal Demand Made

by the Association.

A Meeting of the ArbitrationCommittee Asked for

The Reasons.

The American Association haa finally taken an important and decisive step in the Beatin case through its representative on the Arbitra­ tion Committee, Secretary Byrne, a copy of whose letter, requesting a meeting of the com­ mittee to consider the case, with the grounds therefor, ia hereby appended:

CINCINNATI, 0., Aug. 20.MR. N. E. YOUNG, CHAIRMAN BOARD OF ARBITRA­

TION i>«ar Sir: On June 27, 18S7. Mr. Ed Uealin and Mr. Thos. Kinslow, ball players, at that time in the city of Alleutjwu, Pa., signed each for himself an agreement to play base bull with Iho Cincinnati Rage Ball Olub, said agreements setting forth the compen­ sation each man was to receive for bis services. Upon the aamo day, aud immediately upon the signing of said agreements by Btatin and Kinslow, Mr. G. H. Schrnelz, the manager and agent of the Cincinnati Base- B;ill Cmb, forwarded to Mr. W. C. Wikoff, presi­ dent and secretary of the American Association, and also to you as president and secretary of Ihe National League, notice by telegraph of the fact that Beatiu and Kinslow had signed with tho Cincinnati Club. Immediately upon receipt of stid notice, Mr. Wiknff, as required to do by our constitution and the National Agreement as well, promulgated u* tice of such contracts and upon notice from bim to you, it was presumed you would, iu the ordinary course and as required hy tho Agreement, promulgate *aid notice. This you declined to do, I Kin informed, i,u the ground that Messrs. Beatiu and Kinslow were virtually already ui.der contract with the Detroit Club, a club member of the Natloi-al League, utie of tho patties to the National Agreement; it being claimed th>it Bentin and Kinalow had name 1 their tt-ruis to the Do'roit Hub ami the same had been accepted prior to the tigoing of the agreements with the Cincinnnnti Club.

Having in Its possession agreements signed by these men, which, under the respective constitutions of tlip League and Association, and also by the provisions of the Agreement, are n'ganlod as binding contracts, the Cincinnati Club ordered these men to report to said club in New York for duly and furnished them fund* fo to do. Instead of reporting as they agreed to do in New York, they reported to tho Detroit, Club and it is presumed are now with eaiJ club. Failing to report for duty as they were obligated to do under the con­ tracts made and signed voluntarily by them, the Cincinnati Club availed itself of its rights aud privileges and suspended the two players for non-fuiflllnnnt of COD tract, at once notify­ ing Secretary Wikoff of Hi action and he at once promulgated notice in regular form. This notice yon hnvo 8''eti fit to utterly ignore and disregard. While disclaimin? any right or intention of reminding you of your duty I am finite euro it was clearly your duty under the requirements of the Agreement to promulgate said notice, it boing regularly Issued and It was emin<ntlv proper for you to aw-ume lhat a party to tho National Agreement would hardly is>uo so important a notice without substantial reasons therefor.

I am Informed by Mr. Wikoff (hit upon his cillinsr ymir attention m re direct ly to his iiotic < of fcuspcii- sion, yon advised him that you were satisfied Detroit's cliim to Messrs. Beatin and Kinslow was a good ami valid one, and that ended the matter so far as tho League win concerned. Permit me to suggest that your tpse d'r.et diws not settle this matter so far a-t either the League or tho Association is concerned. The League and Association b^ing thf creators of and the parties to the National Agreement, and tlu same boing in force, it remains to bo seen if nne party thereto can icnore and over-rido the provisions and conditions of Ihe said Agree­ ment whenever it sees fit or finds it convenient to do so. If th iff is the fact the sooner tho other party to ttie compact Is made aware of it the bet­ ter it will be- for all concerned. Under 'be Agreement a Bo:ird of Arbitration was created, and among the duties of paid board, as defined by Section X , I fiud "They shall also, in the interest r.f harmony and peace arbitrate upon and decide all differences and disputes arising between * * * a club member of one and a club member of the otlier Afsicialion p-*rty hereto."

That there is a dispute between tho Cincinnati Club of the American Association, and the Detroit Club, oi tlio National League, as to the services of Messrs ~>atin and Kluslnw, will hardly bn denied. It is 11 matter of puWic notoriety. There bein^a dispute, ii is clearly the duty of tho Board of Arbitration, not the chairmnn, or the tfCretan/, or any itttUv&lnnl tn&nbi ttiereof to determine as to the rights of tho clubs, or

justice or injustice of the claims of tho rrspcctm clubs. The Agreement aims to protect the rights am interests of all rartie* to (t and it pn-videa a Iribuna to pass upon questions involving tho righto of al! idt-utifit d therewith. lit this tribumil ihe Cincirm iti Clnb append tlin uph tho Association delegates ant! a-kn to be protected in its rights, whutrver they may bo, in the matter of the services of M-^rs. Beatin and Kirslow, now held by the Detroit Club. I therefor respectfully call upon you as chairman of the Board of Arbitration to call a meeting of naid Board at as early a day as pra-,11 able. If you will permit mo, 1 will pugg^st New York a* the place of meeting and Ser-t. '2, 3 or 4 ns the date, as you deem best

I suggest thfl^e dates for the reason I will not bo able to got back before Sept. 2, and at that time Messrs. Phelps and V<,n der Ahe, my co-delegates, wi be in the Ka«t with their clubs. Mr. Day will prob­ ably be iu New Ynrk at that time, and Col. Rogers can un o^er from Philadelphia. It may CAU«O you some itt'e inconvenience, but I know how willing you are

at all times to suffer for the general good, and, as the meeting can be made brief, it will not kefp you away any length of time from your iappy household. I shall advise the Cincinnati Club to te present and furnish us with their sido of Ihe case md trudt you will a'lvisr- tho I)e:roit Club to do like­

wise. It seems to me only fair that the Detroit Club ihould refrain from using either of the mon named intil tho question at issue is settled. I cfafuld liko to iear from you by wire or mail on receipt of Una.

I will be at the HawUy House, Cleveland, until Vedoesday, Aug. 24, thence to Louisville Hotel, Jonisvillo, until Aug. 28. thence to Lindell Hotel, St.

mis, until Aug. 31. With sincere good wishes, Very truly yours, C. II. BYRNF.

When President Young was in town last week he hod but little to say about the case, ex- 'ept that he thought his course in the matter ccmed to him right and according to the rules. ie deplored the fact that through tho ambiguity f the National Agreement as to when a minor oague'a protection lapses, such a case as his had been made possible. He wished t was already settled and stated that he would

willingly call a meeting of tho Arbitration Com­ mittee when requested to do go. Nevertheless up to the hour of going to press he had not acknowledged the receipt of Mr. Byrne's letter nor-appointed a date for a meeting of the Com­ mittee.

Detroit has been excited, judging from our )etroit letter, over the receipt by Beatin and vinslow of contracts from the Cincinnati Club,and otters formally demanding their signature to he contracts. These were probably sent not nth a view to taking the men from Detroit, iutto make Cincinnati's case complete by com- >Iying with Section 33, of the Association Con- titution, which requires that a player who has igned an agreement with a club must sign a egular contract within thirty days after making he agreement.

THE SOUTH.

How Next Year's League Will Probably b Made Up and on What Principles it Will be Hun.NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 23. Editor SPORTIX

LIFE: The Southern League has passed throug! another little squabble, but, as usual, earn through it right side up, and once more dis played the grit and determination that ha characterized its actions in every difficulty i has met from the outset. We all hated to se Nashville drop out of the race, but its dropping out under the circumstances proved a benefi rather than an injury. Five clubs caused sev eral expensive lay-offs, whereas now the fou clubs can play a close schedule with more game: on the home grounds. New Orleans is now well in tin load, and a* all tho players are in flue form, excep Kwiug, we ought to keep in the lead and win the pen­ nant handily.

The League for next season is giving people in this neck of tho woods more serious thought LOW than the present one. That there will be a Southern League next (Mason there is no question, thong] there is some question aa to what cities will com pose it and the plan upon which it will be run.

I am positively In favor of the percentage plan and believe that it la the only eafe one for all the minor leagues. It was upon that plan base bal was fostered and built up, and the minor leagues & least must look to tbat plan for Iheir success. A league of clubs must be considered as organization, each club forming a part, and each part is necessary to the other, the stronger part, must take care of the weaker (ones, or the weake ones fail. This plan also ^ives the club that is no drawing well at home a chance to strengthen up, fo tha stronger ihe ctub the better they draw, whereas on the guarantee plan, if a club h weak and not draw ing well at home they have no chance to strengthen up, and tho whole league becomes a loser in CUM se­ quence. Though New Orleans is the best drawing city iu the S>mih, we are willing to go into nex season's League upon tho percentage plan, and so declare ourselves now. Had the Southern ]>aeu Blurted on the percentage p'an this year it would no havo kwt a single club.

I woul i like to «ee an eight-club Southern League m'xi season, made up as follows: Richmond, Norfolk Charleston and Atlanta forming the EasVrn division, nnrt Memphis, Nnshvil'e, Birmingham at d New Or­ leans the Western. Some may claim that these dis lances are too great, but I hold it is better to pay little more railroad fare and go to good towns than pftv a little less and play to empty benches for a ehor while in poor towns, and then suffer the annoyance o having these empty-bench towns drop out a little late on.

If NorfolkandRichmondwillcomeIn, tbe Southern League next y^ar will be made up pretty near a named above.

The winter Vase ball managers havo overlookei Mew Orleans in their mat ru-tti for California thi season. This city uow has ttie .greatest ba«e bill boom ever knov. n in iho Sout!i, and, from Oct. 15 to Dec. 1 tb the prettiest season of ihi year for base ball in Ne Orleans. Tbe game is likely to bo overdone this season on the co.ist, and I think some of the teams that ar poing to California would make more money here An effort will he mide to have the teann going to California either g> or return vit New Orleans, ant each play a week here. The Southern route i* tho bhorff*t aud the pivttiodt one to tha conjt in the fall ai»d, brides tho g;iruea in New Orleans, games could be arranged in Gabeston aud L->s Angeles.

The total fines on the local [Jayen this season amount to only ten dollars, and though Ay debt to wa laid up two months nnd Kinsman one, there wai not a niclile deducted from their s.i"arie*.

Tho loc i\a havo signed pitcher \ViJncr, I-ito of the Cincinnati Club. He will be given a trial agalus Charleston ihU week.

Illiighamton's Disbaiidment Causes a Seri­ ous Dispute A Special Meeting Called.The Binghamton Club disbanded last Satur­

day, Aug. 20, making the third club that 1ms ;nne to pieces in the International League this

^OudO:i. The remaining clubs are agitated now not so much over the disbandinent as over the disposition to bo made of the games played by tho defunct club. If Binghainton's place can be filled for the remainder of the season all her games will count. If tbe games were thrown out Syracuse, Newark, Rochester, Jersey City and Toronto would have to suffer, while Buffalo, Hamilton, Scranton and Wilke.sbarrc would be the gainers. Syracuse would take a big fa!], her loam having won ten out of the twelve games with Bmjthamtou, ami film thr utens to withdraw if the games aru nut c-nintyl. Iu regard to counting the ganua S<crera:y C. I). White fays:

"I think that tho first four panic's participated in by Binghiunton with a'l other clubs should count. Al­ though Bingliamt'-n only plajed two g tinea with Scranton, it played two gumes wiih Osw^go, and if tho Oflwego ganns with Binyhamton are not laken in ci nideration it will make an unequal ratio. 'Ihe board ol direct* rs will bo sole judg< s, how ever."

The cons ! itution, however, provides that when club dlsbaudn and tho va ancy U not flllfd, just so many of th« pantea dial! be couiitad with each te-tm HS aro equal to the least number p'ayrd by tho dia- bunded club wiih any other club. Binghamtou bad only played two gamea with Scnnton. Therefore it icenis (hat the fi:st tw,i srame^ played by each club with Biiighamton eh .uld alone be counted. This would probably destroy Syracuse's chances for the pennant, and R'xlu-slcr wonl'l be nowhtre. It ii ar­ gued (hat Biu^lumton had played four panics with Oswego, Scrantou's predecessor, making six with Iho Oswigo-Scrauton combination, and that this should be the basis of distribution. The vexed matter will be settled at a special meeting of tho League to be held at the Genfcfeseo HOUPC, Buffalo, N. Y., Tuesday, Auir. 30. It is said lhat Elmira will tako Binghamton's place, in which event all will be clear sailing.

THE CALIFORNIA WINTER SEANCE.

Four Combinations Already Booked to Go- Where They Will Play, Etc.

From present appearances there will be at least four Eastern base ball combinations on the Pacific coast next winter, viz., Jim Hart's Chi­ cago combination, Watkins' Detroit team, Mu- trie's New Yorks, and the St. Louis Browns, un­ der Geo. Munson. Tho Browns and Detroits will likely play at Alameda Park, at Oakland; Hart's Cuicagos at Central Park, San Francisco, and the New Yorks in the same city, at the new Haight slreet grounds. The inU-ivst in these various contest* will he so great that undoubtedly there will bean interchange of games between the Si. Louis Browns, the N»-w Yorks, Detroits an 1 Chicagos.

Mr. George Muuaon, the Browns' secretary, will leave St. Louis about Oct. 30 for the far West, and en route will arrange games for the Browns at Kaunas City, Denver and S'tlt Lake City. Tbe Browns will leave St. Louis about Nov. 10. Thty have already ar­ ranged for a series of ten games with ihe LVtroits on the Alameda grounds, tut they will probably take part in full fifty game?before returning Kast. "They will remain iu California from November until tha latter part of January. It will thus be seen that the coast is to have as good hall thi? winter (if not better) as Iho Eastern cities havo had during this, the regular sea- on.

There is an obs'acle, however, to the Eastern teams playing on tht1 coast which should bo adjusted as soon as possible. There are two blacklisted players in the einplov of the California League, viz., John J. Smith, blacklisted by Loui-ville, and Donah UP, of tho Havcrlys, blackliit'-d by AiUnte. Perhaps the Na­ tional Agreement doesn't apply to or have jurisdiction over tramping Eastern clubs in tho winter, but since these comliiualiana propose to travel under the name and presumably function of noted League and Asso­ ciation clubs, it might be made to apply, and thereforo to bo on tl:e &a!e side the backers of these winter anapa would perhaps do well to exert themselves to have the disability of these two me-a removed.

The Signs Are "Agin" It.President Stearns, of Detroit ia quoted as fol­

lows by an interviewer:"I am a believer in a twelve-club league, and think

t has g-:.t to come. I am in favor of taking a good mini like Mr. Mil's, for instance, and paying him a

ud salary, say 810,000 to run the league. A mano would give his entire attention to the business.

One who had no favorites and no prejudices and was jnder obligations to no club. Make him plmost a dic- ;aior, subject only, under certain rules, to the board of directors, composed of the president* of the several clubs. It's a scheme that is laughed at by many, but he immense and growing popularity of tho game will brce its ad iption IT a moMfied addition to it."

This contains a pretty hard and undeserved ship at President Nick Young. As for the .welve-club scheme, it "hasn't got to come," and will be a long time maturing. There are two big >rgaiiizations now in tbe field, friend Stearns; here's room for them; the people who support >ase ball want them, and they'll stay quite a

good while yet. You'll got cold on the twelvo- club scheme by-and-bjr.

MOVESOFIMPORTThe Date of the Associa

tion Meeting Changed.

A Significant Movement by the Minor Leagues in Con­

templation,

THE ASSOCIATION.

The Chances for Percentage Still Brigh The I>ate of Meeting Changed.

As foreshadowed in our last issue, the date o the special meeting of tho Association has been changed according to the following notice:

COU'MBUS, 0, Aug. 24. The special meeting ha been changed from Sept. 3 to S*-pt. 5 by requrst of th' clubs. WHEELER WIKOFF, Secretary.

The object of the change is two-fold: Firstly to prevent a lay-over in New York over Sunday should the business demand moro than one day' attention, and secondly, to enable tho Associa­ tion to await the action of the League and the Arbitration Committee in the Beatin case, ant to resolve upon decisive action should such be­ come necessary.

As to the umin question, "percentage or guar­ antee/'' there are no new devevopments. There haa been a lot of private conferring and much quiet discussion going on over the matter be­ tween the clubs, and from what can be gleaned the outlook for percentage is eren brighter than it was a week ago. Cleveland, Louisville, St. Louis and the Mets are, of course, solid for it, Cincinnati is said to favor it in return for some concessions, and the Athletics are also prepared to turn in for it in certain contingencies. Mr. Vonderhorst, of Baltimore, who was in town for a few hours last week, was non-committal, but stated that he would act as seeinod to him good for the Association as a whole. Even Brooklyn, hitherto the staunchest supporter of the guaran­ tee plan, while not willing to go the whole hog on the question, is willing to make some sort of compromise. With all the clubs in this frame of mind it ought not to be so very difficult to arrive at an equitable solution of tho most impor­ tant question the Association has ever been called to consider.

ANOTHER MOVEMENT.

Minor leagues Scheming For a Reserve Rule Within Themselves.

Special to SPORTING LIFE.NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 27. There is a move­

ment on foot, the object of which is to form an organization of all tho minor leagues now under the National Agreement. One of the objects ol the organization will be to establish the Reserve Rule among the minor leagues wit/tin tkemeelvet.

Another one of it.s objects will be to try and prevent the National League and American Asso­ ciation from signing minor leaf ue players without compeniation tor tho same. Those discussing the movement seem willing that these two associa­ tions shall be entitled to sign players reserved t>y the minor leagues, but they also believe that it is not fair for those organizations to sign a pljiyer that a minor league has spent money in developing without compensation. Tho?e and the general interests of the minor leagues looked after in an organized way teem to be the objectsof the movement. ClihOLE.

Poor Showing; of the Senators Since Their Return Why the Ward Deal Failed The Pool Selling Nuisance Shaw Laid Off- News Notes.WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 26. Editor SPORT­

ING LIFE: The successes in Boston last Satur­ day ver.v fittingly closed a suscessful trip, and the victories were duo more to the excellent work of Whitney than to any other member of ;he team. The result of the trip is very satia- actory, for the club started out in a very bad

condition, and a club of amateurs could have defeated them when they were either in Indian­ apolis or Chicago. The games at home, so far, since the club's return, have been one-sided and ;he Senators have been the sulfercr.j , and al! .his is due to wretched fielding. Only Ilines ind Dealey have shown up in their best form, while the balance, outside of the batteries, seem ;o have taken a week off. And it eeoms ever ,hus. When the audjenoes become of good size .he team goes to pieces and gives such disgust- ng exnibitions that the people stay away. The ;ry has been raised that this city will not sup­ port a ball club. Well, if the club wiil hut play U-a-ly ball I will wager that the people will be ti-ady in their attendance. The exhibitions this

ek. were enough to disgufct even a base ball raiik.HE WARD DEAL THE POOL-SELLING NUISANCE.In conversation with Mr. Hcwitt he 8»yd "that tho

rhnle reason that the WarJ transfer uas not consum­ mated was because the outiru press of New Yurk City uinped u[*m Mr. Day's ahouUeru nnd raised a howlInch he \\m bound to heed. If the prea* had kept

till, Ward woull have bomi in Washington to-day tnd plnyiag out rheru in the field. In»tcu<l, ho wiil ery likely remain ia .New Yoik ;is louj^as ho cares t> :>Uy ball. I have not given him up entirely, but my io|>ts are very small."

He further sayu that since that article in a Pitts- jiir* paper appeared, charging the Washington play- rs with crookedness, that he baa been luvoKtigitthig t, aud -'I am golDg to make a naove upon the telo-

ph companies. I ahull call tho attention of the j<-ajaio to the fuel that one end of the wire Jy on the all Held and the other eud terminates in a p»>ol room.will nut pennit it auy longer, and if they persist in

li!B kind of business I ahull throw their uirt-M over lie fence aud not let tlum into the grounds at all."

PITCHER SHAW'S CASE.When Shaw was seut home from Pittsburg ho was ry loud in his grievances to tho press, and an-

ouDCtd that he would not play hall in this city or vith the club. As 6<ion as Manager Gaffuey returned o iufurmed th*» '"Wizard" that ho would piny iu Mon- ay's game. After the negotiation:! tor his release r e>e olT the directors decided that as he hud not iu wo years boon pitching in puod shape that >ey would KIVO him but one more trial, [o went in the box Monday, and the 'ay Detroit pounded him was tcnible. He

was, after tho game, suspended indefinitely without ay. To Bay that the public approved of this uct would e putting it mildly. No man ever was dealt with- lure leniently. He was given a good salary and was indly trcaied. Whenever he complained of his piiy- cal condition he icsteJ at the expense of the club, 'et he would only at tinn-s do his best am) the reit of id work WH*of an indifferent chivrac't-r. His siupen- on was merited, and l;c wiil stay thera for somu time

coinP, and it will be v/oll for him to buy his own re- ease as it seems as if no other club is willing to put p any dual for it.

was lumurod that Shock had been released, but such a^ in t the case. The question of big rc-leiso w*w c,>n- dert'd, but it was decided to hold him a wliilo longer, his young playtr did sumo very effective work with 10 stick in the early part of the season, and his Lat- ug was RO stiong that witli his loojr, unlucky streak, e has yet a very creditable average uiid a goodly tmm-

BOLD BARNIE'S BRKATHIXGS.

The Baltimore's Manager Delivers Himself on Important Current Topics.

Manager lUruie had no sooner set foot in St. Louis with his Oriole song birds than a reporter of the Kepublican co'lared him and extracted . hugo chunks of base ball lore. Regarding the Beitin-KinsJow affair Barnio is quoted assaying: "I think Mr. Young assumed entirely too much. authority. He must remember he is not the National Agreement. Whatever the facts in the Ecutin-Kinrilow matter, Mr. Young should by all means have listened to what the Association had to say before he so summarily rendered a decision in the matter. It was an in?ult to our body, and we should not let it go unheeded."

When tho reporter asked concerning the make­ up of the Association next year, the Usltimoro manager said: "Well, it will'bejujt the same as it is this year." He emphasised the state­ ment v:ith a nod and a wink the nod implying that he knew what ho was talking about anil the wink that he wnsu't goincr to jmv away the pr*ciso reason v;hy he knew it. '-Yes sir, the talk about Louisville ia a f«ke, and Mr. Von dt-r Abe ingoing to stay where it will bo for his best interests."

"Aieyou in favor cf percentage?1' "No, sir, 1 am not. NeverlheUed, I am for the in­

terests of the Ai-ocwtlon." "Supposing Mr. Yon der Ahe demands it? "Let him denimi-i. We aie not ruled by any one

cluh and nre not 11 be bn'ldojwd. Mr. Von der Ahe 't force the ptTceiita.-e through, but h* may be able

to get it through. That's diftVr*nt, ywu know".""Are you in favor of giving Ihe champion club a

e;«cia1 percentage on account of it's being ihe cham­ pion club?"

"Ye»; (hat Is fair and a good rule. That ought to be nutde a rejtnlur thing."

Regarding the League and Association Mr. P>a>nie id; "I wuHlriu't be a bitparprised to nee thj Detroit

Club locate at Staten Island next season. The Drtroita can'tstay in unions the LongiM adopt* the percentage, and thitt they won't do. B -stou, Washington and Philadelphia aro dead sj^ainst it, and it takes a two third votH to change the constitution just as it does in our Asfiociat(6ti. Pittsburg ia also against percen­ tage."

ISO LIFE: Our boys havo mude another trip and came home with one game to their credit out of four played, in all of which our club played good bail, but luck seemed against them.

This week, owing to Bin?hamton £*-ing by the board, they were compelled to lie idle, ns the League would not allow exhibition g«rnes to b« played with the Syracuse Club.

BUFFALO, Aug. 25. Kditor SPOHCIM* LIFE: Last Monday the Fiuffalo* finished their East* crn trip, which was the most succc<sful one ac- :omplished by any International League team his season. They played sevent«cti games, finning ten. The closest game of the season

was that played at Syracuse on the 19th, ten. nnings being played without a run. Fanning cored the winning run in the eleventh.

During the past week tw>> additional pitchers ave been signed. W. F. Caliban, the wcll-

IT*S IN THE AIR.

VI i at tho Abuses of tho Present System May Lead to in the Near Future.

That there are likely to bo sonic great changes n the ba#c ball wurld at the end of this season, r at least before the beginning of another, is retty well known. Matters look smooth enough r. tho surface, but beneath there are strong cur- :nts and counter currents, and no one knows

xaetly what may happen. The players are be- inning to grow restive under tbo abuses en- endcrcd by the Reserve Rule. Some of them re men of education, many arc men of shrewd usiness sense. It is a f|uc<tion how long they ill enduro to remain "chattels." If they ever come

o any agreement among tbtnnfclves thoy may effect a ivat clmnge. S'M'P »*, for insunce, says the New ork Jif«rt «»rf Exjn-ess, that they were to hold aeon-

entiou next Oct-jber, and draw up and adept a "bill 1 righ's." Suppose i lie directors of the Lcajuo refused o graut it. Hupposo, fnrtiier, that thw players there- pon sliould form n co-operative Ita^uo of their own, jporliou their own playora nnd their territory, aiid e^i" next teasou on their o\\n huok. What would be ho rorfuh? Very likely iiothiug of the For t will be

tempted ao souu. Stil!, oucl: a thing is by no me,ins ni]>u6siMo, and in case nu change is mwde in the pres- nt constitution of the League uiid the Associiition it ia ardly improbnblo. I?a?o ball is n new Uuitiiu-fta, com- iiiutively tv&a <h(\ii twenty jeais oM and its princi­

ples ore notyet thoroughly ilctormiufd. It is n"t yet past Ihe experimental nttigc iu respect tu methods. Pecuniarily, it is a tremendous SUCCCKB, b«t the ro- laticus between employern and employes aro notyet BO;tied, and are not likely to be until thoy aro put upon a fairer basis than tho present one.
