six companies were enrolled as members
of the association. The first championship game

In long article in the FortniohtEy RepiesU
William DaY, the famous English racehorse
trainer, has the following to say about the in
Creasing value Of thoroughbreds:
At Middle Park, about 1867 or soon after
yearlings fetched extraordinary prices: as
much as l,O60 guineas, and 2,4O0 guineas were
given, and out of a lot one year the average
price was 500 guineas, or 20 600 for the 40 Such
prices no one thought would be exceeded or
even ever reached again. But prices have still
gone up, and broodmares have increased in
value as much as the yearlings, and, in fact.
every sort OF racehorse has augmented in value
in like proportion, till now over 5000 guipeas
are given for broodmare, and over 1000
lguIneas for yearling- Stations have fetched
16,OOO gulneas, 1000 guineas have been offered
and refused for horse in training and s 600
tguineas was sum not sufficiently attractive
20 secure yearling that was offered for sale
At private contract this year.
But these facts and figures gigantic and snr-
prising as they are, dwindle into utter ipsirnifi
canoe when compared with the value of Her.
init This wonderful and lucky horse stands
alone as racehOrSe and stallion for Hermit
1las won in stakes and bets for his owner M
Chaplin, somewhere about s15O00O. and has
Since earned at the stud at least as much more
and may still further augment this almost in,
credible sum. Again, Donovan, up to the pres
ent time, mas won in stakes more than any
horse ever did, and may, and most likely will
add many more thousands to his record. he
has already secured S39, ,963 and NAV Vet even
surpass the mighty deeds of Hermit at the
stud. as he has Tiumphed over his perform
aDces on the raCecourse. Ayrshire another
lucky horse, has won for the same ducal owner
nearly as much as Donovan himself having
secured in stakes alone over esq 600 IN TO the
present date, and may. like him, yet increase
ARrgely this magnificent sum before his racine
career is terminated, and afterTard be at the
stud as great success as either of the two ex
traordinary horses just mentioned These few
cases. TO which many other horses NAV he
added, will show us the present value of our
racehOrses, and how greatly it exceeds the
worth OF those of any other age or country.

The Board of Review Deals With sam.
WeII-knOwn Pittsburgers.
The official report of the Board of Review of
the National Trotting Association shows that
Pittsburgers have figured there prominently as
violators Of racing rules. Some time ago it was
stated in THE DISPATCH that by the order of
the Fairfield Agricultural Society. Lancaster
o., Joseph H. Heideger bad been expelIed
from all association tracks. This Statement
was denied. but the report above mentioned
shows that both Heideger and Henry Hsg-
maier. Of this city, appealed against the order
OF the Fairfield Society. The Board of Re-
view have confirmed the order so that the two
4 local hOrsemen remain expelled Following is
the official report relating to the two cases:
Joseph H Heideger, Allegheny, Pa, ex parte
Application for release Of himself from ex
pulsion imposed November %. 1889. under au-
thority Of rule . by order of the Fairfield Agri-
cultural Society, Lancaster, o.
From the evidence presented the board finds
that the applicant was justly expelled for fraud
by the member for entering and competing
out of his class and under the name of Still
Alarm.
The application for release from expulsion is
denied.

WANTS CHEAP BALL.
An Earnest Plea for Lower Prices TO Local
Games.

An Earnest flea Tor Lower EFiceB 10 Local
Games.
To the Sporting Editor Of The Dispatch:
1t is amusing to observe the manner in which
the League and Brotherhood magnates are
catering to the old ball players for
further contracts, which leads one to think
that the remarks previously made by the
League, that there was no money in the
business, are nothing more thar delusion and
a snare. If the statement is true, why offer
such fabulous prices over the old contracts?
Does any sane man believe that Pitcher Clark
son is worth S10, 900 per anDum? No, my friends;
the whole sum and substance is that the public
are the victims, and, such being the case, the
public would be justified in issuing the fiat
that unless the League or Brotherhood con-
sents to play ball for % cents admission neither
party will be patronized
How is it that the Philadelphia club makes
heaps of money under the % cent tariff? 1t is
all very we'll for Secretary Scaudrett to say
each year the home club will come out about
even this year. This statement has been made
too often. Suppose Andrew Carnegie's men
quit work next year and he made a public
statement that his firm had lost money this
year; yet. TO get them to return to their work
he offered them an advance in their salaries of
% per cent, as is the case with Midget Miller
would Carneg1e's statement be believed? l
guess not The press is with us. AgItate for
a reduction in admission, and if the Brother
hood or League refuse it, make yourselves con-
spicuous by your absence. Yours truly,

TO Do Business.
NEW YORK, Decepber 15-The meeting of
the Brotherhood to effect permanent organi-
cation will be held at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
tomorrow and already many of the prime
movers in the scheme are in the city, Last
night there was quite gathering of them at
an uptown resort, among them being Mr.. Al
johnson, of Cleveland, Arthur Irwin, Jay
Faatz, John Ward, George Gore and Fred
Pfeffer. Chris Won der Ahe of st. Louis, is
also in the city and will attend the meeting in
the hope that he NAV be able to prevent the
annihilation of his St Louis Browns
Of course to-morrow's meeting was the one
topic of conversation among the players, and
at a caucus during the evening the work to be
done tomorrow was outlined. All spoke hope
fully of the future of the organization did not
seem at all dismayed at the desertion of SO
many of their number, and predicted that to-
morrow would see the organization built on a
sounder basis than was generally believed.
As to whether or not there would be an
amalgamation of the remnants of the Amer
lean Association with the Brotherhood nobody
cared to say. Some thought st. Louis would
be taken care of, while others were of the
opinion that the Brotherhood would 90 along
with the cities originally picked out. How
ever, the meeting tomorrow will settle all
speculation on that point.

xPEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcE-i
SAN FRANCISCO, December 15.-Jimmy
Carroll, lightweight instructor of the Cali.
fornia Athletic Club, has become light.
weight champion of America without
battling for it, Jack McAulife having for.
5eited that title to him to-day. On Thurs
day night President Fulda telegraphed to
McAulife that Carroll was ready to sign
articles for championship fight at 1SS
pounds, or if McAuliffe would forfeit cham
pionship to him Carroll would fight him at lSI
pounds for purse and side bet of IS 600. As
a guarantee of good faith Carroll deposited $500
with the club.
To-day dispatch was received from New
York by President Fulda stating that McAu-
life would accept Carroll's second proposition
and fight at lST pounds for the purpose of bet.
Carroll. therefore, has become lightweight
champion of America. and will still be SO if
beaten by McAuliffe. The fight will take place
in February in the California Athletic Club
rooms.
THE SPIDER is INJURED.
Confident predictions that some accident
would happen to keep Murphy and Weir out
OF the ring on the 9th inst. have been verified.
Weir's injured hand has become so much worse
Thai IL VIII De Impossible for him to light The
Spider accidentally shot himself in the finger
some weeks ago. and the wound not being
given chance to heal, has become an ugly one
that promises to get worse rather than better.
The fight between Jack Dempsey and the Aus
Hralian Murphy has been set for January 49,
Much interest was aroused among New York
sports to-day when 1t was definitely learned
that Mitchell thinks Kilrain can defeat Jack
son, the colored pugilist Mitchell writes a
friend in this city and expresses himself very
strongly on the matter. He says that Kilrain
IS a quicker boxer and much harder hitter
MitChelrs opinion. if honest is taken 10 mean
that jackson will be easily beaten by Sullivan.
WANTS A BIG PURSE.
The latter denies that he has agreed to meet
Jackson for purse of $4,000. Efforts are still
being made to arrange another battle between
George Godfrey and Jack Ashton. The COL
ored man, however, refuses to meet Ashton
outside of Boston. Godfrey claims that he
viii not get fair play at Providence or any
place where Ashton has numerous friends
Ashton may agree to fight again in Boston.
Nothing definite has been done relariVe to the
challenge of McCaffrey to fight Pat Farrell, of
Pittsburg, or La Blanche. The last named is
TOO well fixed" at present TO care about fight
ing, and il is thought that Farrell cannot find a
stake big enough to fight for. McCaffrey
however, is in a poor condition to fight. Heis
boxing regularly.
