BASEBALL POSSIBILITIES.
The New League that is to be Formed by the
Brotherhood of Baseball Players.

Especial to THE misunderstanding Dispatch.l
New YORK, Oct ga week from to day
the Brotherhood of Professional Ball Play
ers will meet at the Fifth Avenue hotel to
begin business on their own hook. AS the
National league has ignored the players in
the past, SO the players now will ignore the
league. The franchises which three months
ago were worth nearly two million dollars
cannot now be sold for 2, 100000 cents to the
six capitalists, representing the four
brotherhood clubs, who met at the Windsor
hotel yesterday afternoon. Except for q
few minor details, arrangements were made
for the establishment of brotherhood
league. Operations will be begun immedi-
ately after the players meeting.
During the past week tract of land
twice as large as the polo grounds in the
upper part of the city has been leased by
gentlemen who are behind the brotherhood
club here. Among them are men in a
financial comparison with whom the present
league magnates are pigmieS. 1t will be a
matter of knife between the magnates and
PLAYERS from this time forward. Each of
the eight chapters will be represented by
one delegate in the brotherhood meeting.
Soon afterward the players and capital
lists will meet and formally sign the agree
ment, the terms of which are fully under
stood by both parties at the present time.
The eight cities most likely to be
selected in the formation of the
new league are: New York, Brook
Ign, Boston, Philadelphia. Buffalo,
Cleveland, Pittsburg and Chicago.
For several days past the league has been
engaged in an endeavor to frighten the
players from carrying out their intentions
by insisting that they were legally ire

PHINEAS TAYLOR BARNUM.

mum is guilty of heresy. He has been
telling the reporters that England is a
preferable country to America, and that
he would rather live here. 1t is his firm
conviction, he says, and it is shared by
Oliver Wendell Holmes, that in time the
better and more cultivated Americans will
come over and settle in England. This is
probably taffy. Nevertheless, Barnum's
show has already made great hit in Lon
don, though it does not open until the 18th
of next month. The metropolis and it's en-
virons are gaudy with the great posters
familiar TO all New Workers, and great
crowds gather before the bill boards to
wonder and admire.
Barnum himself is much sought after by
the reporters. He has been interviewed
in railway carriages, at breakfast and in
bed. What he eats, what he drinks and
wherewithall he is clothed has been de-
scribed in the press. and his daily walks
and drives chronicled with extreme pre-
cision. Barnum has now decided that as
his whole show will not be allowed in the
lord mayors procession, he will give
separate procession of his own on the
same day and make the lord mayors show

New YORK, Oct. 2S.-The ladies of New

club just like their husbands. They arc
thoroughly in earnest with their project,
and they have secured a club house on
Lexington avenue near Twenty-third
street. 1t will be called the New York
Ladies' club. The parlor floor will be de-
voted to sitting and reading rooms. On
the ground floor is large sunny dining
room where the members may take lunch

will be engaged and the menu, while not
eXtravagant, will be varied and dainty and
served at the usual restaurant prices. Up
stairs half dozen bed chambers will be
fitted up tastefully for the convenience of
out-of-town members, if they find it
desirable to remain over night. 1t is pro-
posed to have afternoon tea service daily,

Mrs. John Van Rensselaer,, who is &c
lively interested, has made suggestion in
connection with these weekly reunions
which has been received with great favor.
She proposes that q loan collection of laceS,
lace embroideries, jewels and curious shall
be shown from time to time by the mem
bers on these occasions; and it is believed
that many who would hesitate to expose
their treasures publicly will be persuaded
to exhibit them at the club. An advisory
committee will govern the club, and will
constitute a court of appeals, but an intro
ductioI BY or from any of the original
members will be a satisfactory credential
Among the names on the club roll is that

promptly assured her that restoratives
would be forthcoming. if necessary. But
so far the weight of opinion is against

Another member, a lively young married
woman, who was asked what she thought
of blue ribbon policy for the New York
Ladies' club, replied: mo woman win be
driven to the club to obtain such things.
We all have our own sideboards, and can
order what we choose from our grocers and
