BASEBALL AGITATION.
The Brotherhood May Cut Loose From the Ma

The Brotherhood May Cut Loose From the Ma.
tional League-The Conferences.
Especial to the HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New YORK, Sept. 2l.-There is deep agi-
tation in baseball circles; rumors of the
new league are flying through the air thick
and fast. j. j. Coogan has said that cap
italists and men interested in the New
York club have approached him with offers
to lease certain lands just north of the polo
grounds for baseball purposes. Although
it is impossible on account Of conflicting
statements to ascertain the exact truth of
the matter, the most reasonable conclusion
is that if the National league does not con-
cede certain demands that will be made by
the brotherhood this fall, the players will
take the management of the game into their
own hands.
John NJ. Ward said: IF the National
league does not grant the requests we shall
make at their fall meeting, we shall GER
tainly form league of our own"
But will you form this league regard
less of what the present magnates may
do?n
THAT is question / am not in a position
to answer at the present time,'' was the
reply This diplomatic answer of the cele-
brated ball player is significant.
According to COogan a syndicate com
posed of capitalists and baseball players
has been formed in this city and its repre-
sentatives have made an offer of $50, 900 a
year rental for plot of land just north OF
/ the present polo grounds. Coogan is adj
ministrator OF the Lynch estate, to which
this land belongs. He has been
in conference with syndicate for several
days and a lease of property for five years,
with privilege of renewal, has been
framed in legal form and will undoubtedly
soon be signed by the contracting parties.
Coogan refused to divulge the names of the
gentlemen who form this remarkable syn
dicate. but said some were men who con
! trolled millions of dollars, others were
players in the New York club.
For eleven months past, or since the
adoption of the obnoxious classification
rule by the National league, it has been
apparent that sooner or later the Brother
hood would class with the baseball monopoly
According to the current report the
Brotherhood has agents at work in five
cities, including Boston, Chicago and New
York, and is prepared in every detail tC
conduct the game on q conservative plan, il

The Blythe Estate Case

SAN Francisco, Sept. 2l.-Alice Edith
Blythe to-day filed an answer to the
amended complaint of Florence Blythe in
the Blythe estate contest. The document
denies that Thomas H. n. Blythe, the de-
ceased millionaire, signed paper acknowl-
edging himself as the father of Florence,
and states that the deceased had no knowl
edge of the paternity of Florence. Edith,
through letters from Julia Ashcroft and
James Crisp Perry, alleges the former was
the mother and the deceased was the
father of Florence. The answer then
alleges that the deceased was not the
father of Florence and that the statements
made by Julia Ashcroft and James Crisp
Perry were false, and asks that Florence
be debarred from sharing IN the estate Of
the deceased. Alice Edith Blythe claims
to be the widow of Thomas Blythe.

as an excuse that he had come
back for some clothing which
they had forgotten. He disappeared
that evening and nothing was thought
about the matter until to-day when the
bank officials received letter from Mrs
Williams asking where her husband was.
They became SUSPICIOUS and ordered an ip-
vestigation of his books which revealed q
deficit of over eight Thousand. Further in
vestigasion shows that the night of the
day he returned to the city was spent at
a notorious hOHse on Twenty second and
