BASE BALL LEGISLATION.
The Rivalry Between the League and
the Association.

NEW YORK, Nov. l5.-The dead lock in the
choice of president for the base ball associa-
ton still continues. though there are plenty OF
rumors flying about. every one of which lacks
confirmation. Today in the corridors OF the
Fifth Avenue hotel men who were willing 10
talk yesterday declined TO discuss matters ox-
cept among themselves. For time considerable
anxiety was felt as 20 whether or not Kansas
City and baltimore would return TO the conyen-
uon today and thus compose quorum. Later
on when it WAS found that both were pres
ent and had actually gone into the convention
there was general rejoicing. At 1880 another
rumor loomed up, to the effect that Phelps of
the Louisville had been given the prcsidential
honors and that Kansas City had Withdrawn
and joined the Western association. These
bits of news were followed by another setting
forth that Syracuse and Detroit had applied
Tor admission INTO the American association
and that the application had been granted
so as to i'll the vacancies caused
by the Withdrawal of the Brooklyn and Gin
cinnati clubs Every effort was made to con-
hrm these reports without success. Those IN
the convention declined 10 talk about them and
those on the outside had merely heard the ru-
mors.
THE LEAGUE ADJoURNs.
The national base ball league met at noon
and finished up the odds and ends of details
that were left over from yesterday and then
finally adjourned.
KANSAS CITY wITHpRAws.
Kansas City this afternoon Withdrew from the
American association and ten minutes later was
admitted to membership in the Western asso-
citation.
After the withdrawal of Kansas City Phelps
was elected president of the association.
SYRACUSE HAS APPLIED.
SYRACUSE, MY, Nov. l5.-The stockholders
in the Syracuse base ball association, now hav-
ing u franchise in the International association,
at a meeting today directed President H. v Mil
Ter to wire the American association Ia conVcu-
tlon at New York an application for member

Various Recommendation.

Col. John NJ. Wilson, commandant OF West
Point and the military academy, has reported
to the adjutant general the operations of the
post and academy for the year ended August
81, 1882 The colonel took command on tho
Goth of August. There were at the end of the

of a number of cadets. Orders have been
given that the guns of this battery shall NOS
again be SSed. Col Wilson strongly recon-
mends that
APPOINTMENTS TO cADETsHIPs
be confined to the June examination, ap-
pointments during the summer recess result in
a very large per cent of failure. Ii is also urged
that the members of the band at West Point be
increased from twenty-four TO forty, and in any
event that the wages of the musicians be raised
so that first-class talent may be employed
Colonel Wilson recommends that the
positions Of master Of sword and teacher
of music now neither officers nor ell
listed men, carry with them the rank,
pay. allowances and privileges of second
iieutenants in the United States army and that
they be appointed, the professors in the
institution, by the President of the United
States. An appropriation is recommended OF
S24,OOO for the erection Of quarters for the
enlisted men at the post, many of them old
soldiers grown grown gray in the service Of the
country. In conclusion Col Wilson expresses
his appreciation Of the assistance received from
all the professors and officers and his gratifica-
ton at finding the cadet corps in such excellent
condition respecting drill, discipline and i'm
