IN A BAD BOX.
A Lumber Dealer Charged With Forgery
and Evasion of the Law.

Lumber Dealer Charged with Forgery
and Evnsion of the Law.
NEW YORK, November 5.-Horace F.
Burroughs, the Hunters Point lumber
dealer, whose yard was closed in August
last by order of the Secretary of the Treas
ury, under suspicion of having been the
scene of smuggling operations whereby some
1000, 900 feet of lumber escaped paying
duty, was arrested IN this city last Saturday
on the charge of forgery, on information
furnished by Donald Lee and others. The
prisoner was taken late Saturday night to
the Elizabeth street station house and locked
up. Sunday morning he was taken before
Judge German, at the latter's house, and
released on bail.
Mr.. Burroughs was admitted to $1,000
bail on the previous charge. The Govern
meut in that case claimed that it had been
defrauded out of some s., 900 by the disap-
pearance of 2, 900, 900 feet of Canadian lum-
Der which was admitted in bond, but Mr.
Burroughs asserted that it was on the wharf
and had not been sold to American dealers,
as the special Treasury agents asserted.
1t is now claimed that the lumber in
spector's certificate was forged, and that the
lumber was disposed of contrary to law.

somewhat DiscnurnRin9.

If the Brotherhood of Ballplayers shall find
no more substantial support elsewhere than in
Philadelphia their career as independent ex-
ponents of the national game will be brief. in
deed. To those who are familiar with the in
ception and progress of the Brotherhood move
ment, the entire affair assumes a farcical
aspect, in despite of the earnest asseverations
of nlayers who have confused retribution with
injustice The baseball sky is not all rose
color and the question with the players is
simply whether they shall abdicate their posi-
tions as exponents of the national game or take
the chances of unOrganized independence and
endeavor to convince the public that they have
been prosecuted and Tilifed by their former
employers. On either side is presented the
horn of dilemma; and the stars of the base
ball profession will be fortunate if they be not
tossed on the one hand the other into the
slough of oblivion and innocuous desuetude.-

WHO ARE THE BACKERse
Mayor McCallin and MIR. Kerr Deny They
Are Supporting Any Club.

Mayor McCalIin and MIR. Kerr Deny They
Are Supporting Any Club.
There is some mystery as to who is going to
put up the money for the Brotherhood club in
this city. Mayor McCalIin and Mr, W. W. Kerr
both emphatically deny that they have invested
any money in the scheme or that they have
been asked to put up any money. Mr.. Kerr
also states that the Exposition Park has not
been leased to the Brotherhood. Now that the
Mayor and MI. Kerr persist in denying that
they have any money invested in the Brother
hood, the names of various other gentle
men have been mentioned as the back
ers However, a local player still in
sists that Staley and Calvin were
delegated to ask the Mayor to support the
scheme and that he promised to do SO. The
Exposition Park management is anxious to as
sist the Brotherhood club in any way and it is
understood that if that club leases the park,
the management of the latter will help to put
up handsome grand stand and grade the
grounds. Mr.. Kerr estimates that to do this
properly will cost Sl2 600 or Sl50O0 But be is
confident that the club will be great financial
success. At any rate he is prepared to buy
stock in the club if matters are explained suffi-
ciently to him.
George Meyers, the agent.of Brunswick and
Bake Billiard Company. stated last evening
that he had been approached to take stock in
the proposed club. but had not yet made up his
mind about doing so. 1t was rumored that
Mr. Witherow, of the Duquesne Hotel is back
ing Ine pTOlecI, out tnat gentleman could not
be seen last evening. A well known gentleman
from New York, however was seen at the hotel
and made a few significant statements on the
matter. The gentleman has big business inter
ests in this city, and absolutely refuses to have
his name published in connection with the
scheme at present He has been at the hotel
all week. During conversation he said:
Il saw Mr.. Van Cott at New York few DAYS
ago, and he told me that the Pittsburg stock
holders had not been selected and would not be
until after the meetings. There are plenty of
gentlemen ready to take stock, and Mr.. Van
Cott informed me that might be given an op-
portunity to take some Pittsburg stock, as 1
was shut out at New York. There is a very
large amount of money behind the Brotherhood
in New York, and can assure you that it is
a CO."
MIR. Meyers leaves for New York this morn
ing. but he states his business is not of a base
hall kind: Hanlon is representing Mr.. Kerr at
New York.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1sPATcH.l

NEW YORK, November 5.-The second an
nual fall games of the Outing Athletic Club
were held this afternoon on the grounds OF the
Brooklyn Athletic Association. There were
about l,500 spectators. A great drawing card
was the match at throwing the l6-pound ham
mer, throwing the 56-pound weight and putting
the l6-pound shot. between A. A. Jordan Of the
New York Athletic Club, and NJ. w. Ford, of
the Staten Island Athletic Club. 1t resulted in
a victory for Jordan, and the probabilities are
that these two men will consider it a final set
tlement of their differences.

This afternoons meeting was more lively
than that of Monday and more business was
transacted. In fact all of the plans of the or
ganIzation were fully outlined. There were
some Is or 80 players present as well as several
of the hackers, including George Wright,
General Dixwell and Al johnson. Now and
again player would come down stairs from

that was that the players did not look so down.
hearted as when they made the official an
nOuncement that they had decided to break
away from the League.
NOT GOING SMOOTHLY.
The players said that matters were not
moving as smoothly as on Monday but that ne
serious internal dissensions had occurred. The
capital stock of each club is to be $4,000, and
the players are expected to take half of that
amount.
Jack Rowe of Pittsburg was asked if it was
the Brotherhood movement that eliminated
