NETWORK TO PROTEST A BOSTON. GAME

The New-York Club proposes to protest one Of the
Boston indianapolis games played at Boston on
Wednesday, Two games were played on that day.
Boston winning both According to all League rules
the Giants protest and the outcome viii probably be
the throwing out Of the protested game, as 1t was
clearly Illegal. The first or protested game was dis
continued at tho end of the sixth inning and the
second game was started almost Immediately after
ward According to the rules baseball match must
consist Of nine innings unless play is made impossible
by darkness or rain. After such interruptions only
can a game be counted after five innings have been
played. One victory amounts 10 a great deal, with
Boston and New-Yerk close together in the League
race
After residing the recent dispatches from the West
one Will be surprised to learn that
there Is no such order Association Brotherhood
The dongs of the new Brotherhood were telegraphed
fully and every word apparently that fell from the
lips of President Bushong treasured up and then
sent broadcast over the land. Tho writer saw Dr
BlShong the catcher of the Brooklyn club and the
alleged president OF the Players brotherhood, al
Washington Park Brooklyn. yesterday. "You sur
prise very much" said Bushong. " and If there IS
any Brotherhood 1 know nothing about it. There was
some talk of organizing order while the Louisville
players having much trouble but taat was all
that ever came of II. The Association promptly
stepped in and settled the Louisville trouble. and
sequently had further use for a Brotherhood.
AT tnar time some OF prayers OF tne JOusNlI6,
Athletic, Baltimore and Kansas City teams did intend
to start an order, and IN fact did start petition
around. That petition presented to us during the
progress of game at St Louis. We WERE of course,
too busy to attend 1t then, and We
never II again. SO you see where there is
ganzaiOn there can be president Even the League
Brotherhood does prosperous at present
If one may judge by the remarks dropped by players
It a mistake 10 attempt 10 hold Brotherhood
meeting at the Fifth Avenue Hotel last Sunday.
There has been no meeting OF any League COM
mttee consider Spaldings Wholesale classification
scheme and meeting will be held until next fan.
1t is highly improbable that any such scheme vii.
ever be adopted by the League. One point in the plan
must be condemned, not only by baseball players, but
by every fsirminded person 1t would make II COM
pulsory upon any minor league club 10 release any
PLAYER for certain sum- TO he paid by major league
The player wanted might be the backbone of the team
Yet the minor league management would have ~ give

Of this laughabe classification infant John B. Day,
of the NewYOrk club, Is always the first ian baseball
reforms but he does not Ia think that spading
scheme Is a reform Said Mr.. Day yesterday: " Yes,
am ono of the committee of three appointed by the
League TO look into this scheme. don't favor it Of
course. | favored special legislation anyway
think that every club should be made - stand its
own bottom. If certain teams cannot Afford TO pay
League salaries, then let them 60 into some minor
organization. where they belong. II would be easy
enough TO fiji their PLACES" The New-York players
frown upon spadings proposition and say that there
Is enough slavery IN baseball already.
The Jersey City Club will attempt 10 begin Sun
DAY games at Oakland Park. Jersey City, to-day The
River Is strong. and there viii probably be some
sensational features at to-day game. The arrest OF
Manager Powers and of the players Will probably
follow the game.
