ALL PAID OFF.
The Local Club Observation-Disclosures
Threatened by Local Officials.

The Local Club Observation-Disclosures
Threatened by Local Officials.
The players of the local club were all paid off
yesterday morning and many of them are now
on their way home. Among thoses who have
left or will leave to-day are White, Sowders
and Fields. There is general complaint about SO
many leaving before to-morrow's game for the
benefit of ex-Manager Phillips. However, a
strong team will be on hand. President Nimick
received the signed contracts of Catcher Kit
teridge and Infelder La Rogue.
There was any amount of talk regarding the
League and the Brotherhood. Secretary Scam
drett is still of opinion that there is not as
much in the Brotherhood threats as some peo-
pie imagine. He said: Il notice that the
players, or at least some of them are kicking
about the reserve rule. That rulse is their
own and ii embraced in their own
contract. They seem to complain most about
the selling system. Now the fact is that not
club in the League can sell player against his
will. A club must either Keep the player or
give him an unconditional release. The case
OF Rowe and White was an exceptional case
as the Detroit club had disbanded. 1t is an i'm
portant fact that almost every player sold is
greatly benefited by it; some gain thousands of
dollars and yet we hear people talk about the
poor players. A player must consent to be
sold or else we cannot sell him. That is all
there is in it.n
1t was stated last evening that the local club
is inclined to follow the example of President
Spalding and issue injunctions to prevent the
reserved players from playing elsewhere. If
this is done it will probably mean a very costly
legal fight. The expense, one authority fig
ures, will 90 long way toward consuming tine
subscribed capital that the players are alleged
to have.

WAITING AND WATCHING.
The Chicago Players Not In a Hurry-Man.
ager Hart ENplains.

ager Hart Explains.
CHICAGO, October 22-"Where are you going
to play next seasonr' was asked of Van
Haltren to-day.
"In Chicago" he replied, with smile.
"Under AnsonT'
81 can't say about that"
"How soon will you known
'Well. named my price to Spalding and he
said he send me word after got back home
1 start for California this week."
Van Haltren talks as all other members of
the Chicago club do. They are apparently de-
termined not to sign until after the League
meeting. The wait seems to be for the purpose
of learning what action the magnates will take
before any announcement of the Brotherhood
scheme is made 1t is settled that in no
event will any local club (city league) be lifted
into the shoes of the old Chicago players. Mr..
Brown, partner of Spalding, said to-day that
it had been decided better material could be
obtained from the great army Of ambitious
baseball players over the country.
Manager Hart, of the Bostons was in Chi
cago to-day, en- route to the Pacific coast. He
said: This Brotherhood scheme was first
started for the purpose of opposing the man.
agement of the League and gaining certain
concessions. As their plans developed the
Brotherhood men saw the possibility OF estab-
fishing a league of their own wherein they
might do better. With this new idea in view,
the organization was completed, and now they
mean business. If an amicable settlement
should be made the men will sign; if not they
will publish their alternative and let the
League hustle for ITSELF"
The question of the possibility of certain
leaders of the Brotherhood being blacklisted
was pronounced absurd by Mr.. Hart.

MILLS OPINION.
The League Ex-President Talks About the
Reserve Rule,


Reserve Rule.
BOSTON, October 2-ExPresident "A. g.
Mills of the National League who still takes
an active interest in baseball, although not
connected with any organization, has this to
say about the proposed Brotherhood League, in
connection with the presidency of which his
name has been mentioned: II do not believe
movement of the character named will be at
tempted next year. The League players are in
no position to take such a step, for they have
clearly obligated themselves to serve the clubs
OF the League next season, should such clubs
decide to avail of their services upon the terms
plainly set forth in their contracts. notice
that one prominent player who is also lawyer,
has suggested a technical point that the reserve
clause in the contract is only operative as be-
tween the cllbs of the League. l assume he
made this suggestion as a clever means OF
frightening the magnates by inducing the be-
lief that the scheme of a new league had been
seriously entertained by the players There
would be no difficulty in establishing the legal
effect OF the word reserve as employed in the
eighteenth section of the players contract.
The provisions of that section clearly bind
the player signing contract containing it to
serve that particular club as against the whole
world during the ensuing season should the
club reserve him as therein provided. 1t has
been suggested that the League has forfeited
its rights under the contract by certain illegal
breaches. Each contract by its express terms
is made between particular club and a par
ticular player. Ii, therefore, it be the fact that
breach has in any case been committed, the
adjustment of that particularicase would have
no effect upon the status of the parties to
other contracts who have complied with all of
the conditions of such contracts. Curiously
enough. Ii the eighteenth section of the play
ers' contract should be brought before the
courts. and any question of ambiguity be raised
by the players as to the meaning of the terms
reserve, or reservation, the courts would be
obliged. under a familiar rule of law to make
the construction most strongly against the
player. as the evidence would conclusively
show that the words were introduced--indeed,
the entire stipulation-in favor of the player;
in fact. they we're insisted upon by him or on
his behalf"

NOT so BAD AS PAINTED.
Report on the Alleged Abuse of Soldiers ar
Jefferson Barracks.

Report on the Alleged Abuse of Soldiers at
Jefferson Barracks.
WAsHIN GToN, October 22.-The report
of the Army Court of Inquiry, which in
vestigated the charges made with regard to
the treatment of recruits at Jefferson bar
racks, Mo-, has been LAID before Secretary
Proctor by Cattsin Ebstein, member of
the court, who came on here for the purpose.
No recommendations or opinions are con-
tanned in the report, as articles OF war pro-
vide that courts of inquiry shall not submit
any opinions with their reports, unless
specifically ordered to do so. The testimony
taken showed that the charges made were
exaggerated, but that there was some
foundation for part of them.
The assertion that men were strung up by
their thumbs in the guard house was dis
proved, although it had slight basis.
Drunken and refractory prisoners, for their
own safety and that of other soldiers, and of
the Government property, were placed in q
large cage, and their wrists handcufed on
the outside of the bars, but this was neither
harsh nor cruel treatment, and was gener-
ally necessary. Captain Ebstein believes
that the investigation will have beneficial
result.

Not Getting His Rich wife's Money He
Left Her TO Marry Another.
CLEVELAND, October 22.-Early in Sep
tember Albert B. Crenshaw and Alice
Grace Wilson ran away from Tawas City,
Mich, and on arriving in Detroit were
married. After the ceremony they came to
Cleveland and put up at the Hollenden,
where they have since remained at cost
of $40 per day. Mrs Crenshaw is an heiress,
beautiful woman, and but 19
years old. In June, 1888, Crenshaw was
married to Miss Jennie Evans, at Chatta-
nooga. Miss Evans home was in Oberlin,
o few miles west Of Cleveland, and she had
some property which Crenshaw demanded
as soon as he married her. Not getting it,
he deserted her. She applied for a divorce,
and three weeks before it was granted her
he married Miss Wilson.
Mrs. Crenshaw heard all this to-day. She
was quite equal to the occasion, for she i'm
mediately hired an attorney, swore out a
warrant for Crenshaw's arrest, and tonight
he is snug and tight in the county Jail. She
declares that she Will prosecute him to the
end, and see that he goes TO the peniten-
tiary.

WARDS PLAIN TALK.
He AssaiIs the Wild-Eyed Rumers About
the Brotherhood.

John NJ. Ward, President Of the Ball Players
Brotherhood, has finally said few words on
the situation. His statement is not only sig
niicant, but very interesting, inasmuch as he
assails all the wild and absurd rumors that Ger.
tain newspapers and individuals have from
time 70 time been circulating about the Broth
erhood. He says:
do not know Of the Brotherhood scheme YOU
refer TO. replied Ward. AS far their statements
are concerned think they are as foolish as can
be. They jump before the public and postulate a
theory or a scheme which they call Brother
hood plan Then they tear it to pieces and
claim that II will never work. Four-ffths of the
talk about alleged Brotherhood schemes emapate
from the hair-brained Western newspaper men,
If the baseball players OF the League should make
up their minds to play ball for men with lust as
much money and an amount of brains equal to
that possessed by the League people. can they be
prevented? ] think not. You see 1 do not bring
the Bro: :herhood into the case at all. am merely
supposing a case. The League can reserve play.
ers from year to year within League limits but
they can no more prevent q player from playing
with another organization than they can prevent
him from earning living by keeping a hotel or
driving a dray. The brotherhood is, of course
interested in protecting the players. That is its
sole and only object.

The Very Best.

You know the Wanamaker
& Brown plan of business.
Reliable Clothing or none.
We don't get the meanest
cloth we can, get it made up
as meanly, and puff it up for
all the newspaper is worth.
We make and keep de-
pendable clothing, and sell it
after a fashion of our own.
We wouldn't know how to
sell it, with our generous
rules, if we hadn't made it
and didn't know how good it
was through and through.
You would see the hesitation
in our faces.
But, you don't see any.
We are ready to come to a
reckoning with you any day
in the year over the wear of
our clothing. Over the prices,
too.
We are seeking a large
business now. Money-mak-
ing can take its turn after
awhile. We believe the road
to the business is through the
best clothing: and we're
crowding all our push on
giving you that.
Are you going to get the
best clothing there ISL Well
have you for a customer,
surely.

NOT TO BE CAUGHT MAPPING.
President Young Not Alarmed Because No
Players Have SiRned.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.J
WASHINGTON, October 22-There is nothing
at League headquarters TO indicate that any
of the clubs have commenced signing players
for next season. President Young stated to-
night that he authorized Messrs. Spalding, of
Chicago, and Nimick, Of Pittsburg, to negoti-
ate with certain players, more than a week
ago and although the daily papers state that
both of these gentlemen have signed several
players from minor leagues, they
have given him no official inform
alton on the subject. The record of the League
will show that it is very unusual occurrence
for players to put their names to contracts at
this season of the year. consequently he is not
disappointed at having a clean docket at this
time. No requests for reclassficatlon of
players have been filed, and he has taken no
steps IN that direction.
There seems to be a general disposition on
the part of managers and players to remain
passive until after the annual meeting of the
League is held, 1t is not improbable that some
OF the League men, anticipating trouble with
the brotherhood. are preparing for an emer-
gency by securing desirable young players
whenever they may be found. The magnates
have been too long in the business to be caught
mapping.

A FOOTBALL MATCH.
Arrangements Being Made for n Contest on

Arrangements Being Made for n Contest on
Thanksgiving Day.
Arrangements are being made for the open
ing of the local football season. Shadyside
Academy has challenged the team of the Pitts
burg Cricket Club to a match. and it is probable
that the challenge will be accepted. Mr.. o. d.
Thompson is also making efforts to organize a
team in Allegheny, and he is likely to succeed.
A gentleman interested in the sport said yester-
day afternoon:
Il think well manage to get up a good match
for Thanksgiving Day. There are plenty Of
players to get and all that is needed is to get
them together. There is some talk of trying 20
organize little league of four or six clubs to
play a series of games. IT somebody would take
the initiative and call meeting Of club repre-
sentatives, L think that sufficient number of
clubs would be obtained.

their mail this morning a notice couched in
legal terms TO the effect that a contract Is
awaiting their signature under the eighteenth
section of their last years agreement, which
gives President Spalding the right to reserve
them for the season.
