Spring Meeting at Washington-Full Schedule
of Games for the Coming Season.

DARLINGTON, mdICu o-1hC dAtuuoi
spring meeting of the National League of
Baseball Clubsconvened in parlor +, of the
Arlington Hotel, to-day. The principal OBJ
ject of the meeting is to adopted a schedule
for the coming season. and thus far 1T has
proved a most difficult task. The general
tone of the various managers has been har-
monious, but occasionally there has been
manifested considerable bitterness. TIL
convention was called to order at 10 o'clock
by President Young, and the only business
transacted until a recess was taken, at 4
o'clock, was the adoption of a resolution
providing for an additional umpire, max
ing the quota five, with a salary OF 500 a
month and expenses. At 4 o'clock the
meeting was again called to order by Presi-
dent Young, but as the managers, in an in
formal conference, had failed to agree upon
dates for the coming season, another recess
was taken until s o'clock, when 1t is ex"
pected the schedule will be adopted.
The delegates present are John b. Day,
Walter Appleton and Manager Mutrie, New
York; Soden, Billings and Conant, Boston;
Reach and Rogers, Philadelphia; Nimmick,
Scandrett and Phillips, Pittsburg; Walter
Hewitt and Secretary Burkett, Washing
ton; Robinson. Cleveland: Brush and Mar
tin, indianapolis; +. X. Stearns, Detroit;
John B. Sage, Buffalo, n. Y, and Walter
Spalding, of New York, representing the
Chicago Club. Some of the prominent
players seen in the corridors were Paul
Hines and Glasscock, of Indianapolis; Will
White, of st. Louis, and Umpires Quinn
and McQuaid.
DooiIont Hewitt nf tho CaShinn fon
club, when asked if there had been any
agreement made to-day between himself
and the Boston delegates in regard to
Ward, replied that the matter had not
been preached. "Why should it?" he con-
tinned; Il am perfectly satisfied that Ward
will captain and manage my club next sea-
son. and we are willing to and have bid as
high as Boston for Wards release from
New York. The question now is between
Ward and myself, and | intend to sail
great short-stOp. and make satisfactory
terms with him.
During the meetings communication was
received from Mr.. j. +. c. Blackhurst, re-
questing that he be heard in regard to the
complaint of j. w. GlasscOck, of the In
dianapolis club. Mr.. Blackhurst was ac-
corded a hearing. and stated that Mr.. Glass
cock had withdrawn his complaint and the
matter was dropped.
The report of the board of arbitration was

TO sign the agreement on behalf of the
League. The committee appointed to change
the form of the League constitution submit
ted it's report, which, with recommended
tions as TO amendments, of minor lmpor-
lance, was unanimously adopted.
The only obstacle which prevented the
adoption of the schedule after the cOnven-
ton met, at s o'clock, was the dlSSatlsfac-
tiCn of the Pittsburg delegates, which,
however, after long wrangling. was adj
a 81 H. rl,AH ANy< ann
