KIMICK'S PREDICTIONS.
He Maps out Cherries Future for the
Brotherhood Scheme.

It is amusing how conflicting are the opin-
ions of the local supporters of the League and
those of the Brotherhood. Yesterday afternoon
President Nimick said:
81 have standing bet to the effect that a
Brotherhood club will not play game in
Pittsburg. Idon't mean there will be no new
league; simply mean that there will be no
Brotherhood club here look more like win
ming my bet than ever Sensible people know
that Brotherhood team will be q loser here.
We will get lots of our old players. and let me
tell you that dozens who are reported signed
with the Brotherhood are not signed at all.
Old and level-headed players are waiting to see
how things are going to be, and when it is seen
that there is hardly anything else but wind in
this Brotherhood affair, all the old players will
rush backn

interesting statement.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DlsPATcH.l
ST. PAUL, November 3O.-W ilmOt, the
big hitting fielder of the Washington
League club, has signed with the Chicsgos.
Captain Anson captured him to-day for the
Windy City. This is understood to mean
that Washingtons as a League club is out Of
that organization, except as being consoli-
dated with Baltimore. Anson states that
there are many more League players who
will resign Leagne contracts before next Feb
ruary. The big captain is certain that the
Brotherhood viii never materialize.
Wilmot has any amount of strong objections
to the Brotherhood, and contends that it has
too shaky foundation for anybody to have any
thing to do with it.
wILMoT's OBJECTIONS.
He objects to the methods that have been
used in adopting rules and regulations, and
claims that Only Swo three players are hav-
ing a voice in the affairs. His principal objec-
ton is to the effect that the players have little
or no protection according to the contract.
He has signed,with Anson for five years. 1t is
certain that Hoy will also sign League con-
tract, and also several other members Of last
years Senators.
During a conversation Anson stated that the
Chicago League club will be little different
from what it was last season. 1--WE will get all
the old players we want" he said, land it is
needless to say that there were few we did not
want. Public
OPINION IN CHICAGO
will teach anybody that fact, because last sea-
sons team gave precious little satisfaction.
No, don't think the Brotherhood scheme can
be successful even if its clubs make
q start. There are too many aspiring
bosses in it. Almost all those
persons now taking an active part in it want to
be the king bee. Not one Of them has the
least idea about organizing and running
league. Had anyone of them been even ex-
perIenced in managing q tolerably good club
there might have been an excuse for their pre-
sumption. But they haven't, and they will
soon squander the little money there is behind
this new departure. Already they have made
enough mistakes TO prove that they know moth
ing about the business, and their most critical
work is to come yet"
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-12-01

! don't think that any casual observer of
baseball affairs will have failed TO observe that
as body of capitalists the League magnates
are superior to those of the Association. That
The players know tnis is certain. 1t follows
then that if MessTs Ward, Keefe & Co. Join
hKnd in hand with the Association authorities
they are going under the influences, more or
less, of q worse set of men than they have left.
But il this is true it proves more. 1t proves
that this extraordinary departure has been
prompted more by the envy and ambition Of a
few well paid ball players. Mark 1 don't say
that this is the case. 1 only contend that if the
deal between the Brotherhood and Association
IS completed we have ample reason for coming
TO the conclusion Just stated If there is a
spark of manhood or union principle in the
players they will travel their journey alone
We're they to do this and remedy few appa-
entimperfectiOns in the systeuAOf organization
there would not be much fear of their success.
But the very fact of their negotiating with
other organizations at this stage of the journey
would seem 20 mean thar they are convinced
OF their own weakness. If there is that solidity
among the players that we are told there is and
If there are the thousands of dollars behind
them that has been stated time and time again,
what necessity is there for Ward and others to
seek the help of other organizations? How
ever the efforts for consolidat alton, for there
have been such efforts, may come to naught
So far it seems that only two or three men are
running this big democratic union of players;
the latter apparently have very little to do with
it. Well, If the rank and file of those who
make up the Brotherhood, or who are intended
10 make it up, would declare themselves on
This deal question. the deal may never be made
Certainly am not surprised at the Association
being willing to 90 anything that may leopard
ize the National League. The latter has NOT
proven itself a friend of the Association by
any means 1t Is not WIDE of the mark
70 say that the Leagues action at
its last meeting tolIed the death
knell Of the Association. This combined with
the so-called unionist players who beguiled As
sociatiOn players to desert their clubs dealt the
Association a blow that to all appearances will
be fatal This desire to wreck and ruin which
unfortunately exists all round cannot be otlfer
than injurious to the national game. Retalia-
tions are sure to comesin every instance of as
ssult- and as result the dignity and even the
integrity will be affected. All this is to be la
mented. because players, capitalists and public

The General Outlook.

The week has just about been as remarkable
Tor false stories as its predecessors. According
70 reports about every ball player IN the League
and Association have been signed, and accord
ing 70 reports scarcely any of them have signed.
Between these extremes all kinds Of rumors
have been hoatingi so much SO that
every opinion and every shade of sym
pathy has been catered to. 1t is nv
nrm conviction that not 30 per cent
of the players whom we are told have signed
have done 50. What mean is, they have not
signed a thoroughly out and out contract
They may have like Messrs. Glasscock and
Denny, appended their names to formal
agreement, which has been made no agreement
at all by the numerous and important changes
that have been made in the Brotherhood plavs.
signings Of this kind are no signings at All.
However, the struggle is one of talking at
present, and certainly the Brotherhood is doing
the most of that. But the Brotherhood fol-
lowers are also acting. At several places they
are getting comfortably and strongly into line
OF course, / say this subject to the truthful
ness OF the reports from the places referred to-
On the other hand, there are more old League
players showing inclination to remain with
that organization than was at first expected
League authorities claim that a very larpe
number Of old PLAYERS viii be found in their
old clubs. Whether OF not this prediction will
turn out true time alone will tell
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-12-01

There is still plenty Of excitement in base
ball circles. The war between the Brotherhood
and the League continues to wage hotter than
ever but at present the 'hustling'' or fighting
seems to be almost all on the side of the
Brotherhood. The League has not gotten
really down to work yet, and when it does we
may expect livelier times than ever. However,
the developments of the past week have shown
one thing, viz: tnat we may expect very many
changes in the proposed makeup of the new
league before its clubs are put on the field A
few weeks ago it was stated in this paper
that the imperfections Of the players proposed
league were numerous and in some instances
very grave. This was said as a matter of fair
criticism because one certainly has the right
20 comment on anything that exists by public
hrOnage. And wish TO say at this juncture
lat my criticisms of the players new depart
re have never gone beyond some Of their
principles of organization. Whether the players
have q club here or whether the League has
one OF two, bOthers me very little indeed. The
great ain suppose for which we are all
striving IS TO keep the national game as pure
and as popular as possible. This aim, or
object then gives us all license to point
ont what we may term weak points in the pro-
posed new organization just as we have done in
the past with the old organizations. Well,
shat was going 10 say was that one of the
teakest features Of the proposed league is the
layers contract. uon't hesitate 70 say, after
