LEAGUE.
NOTES.
And still another!

Ana stlll another!
There was never such a race
Philadelphia and Indianapolis could not play
In account of rain.
President Young thus Eliminates on the last
let Of the play: 1T will only be a short time,
|ow. before We will be closing the base ball
Jason OF 1859 and in every respect it bids fair
p be the most prosperous in our history. The
|nnual meeting Of the league will be held in
he Fifth Avenue hotel New York on Noyem-
er IS. Probably the most important question
nat will come before the meeting after the
Grievances Of the brotherhood are stated will
|e that in relation to double umpires. This
Ill entail an additional expense, but the trial
wen this scheme demonstrated that it is popu-
IT with players and patrons. 1t viii be an OBJ
ct to get good men for these positiops, but in
i fairness do not think it will pay to have
me man selected TO umpire games on the home
rounds, as experience has proved that such a
curse retards rather than advances the ma
Ional pastime.
There il considerable speculation as to the
egality Of game played at Boston on the 10th
Instant between the Chicagos and Bostons and
have been appealed to for decision as to
Whether or not 1t was . scheduled game. Ac-
|ording to the statement submitted to me the
tame was called at o'clock in the afternoon
nd thirteen innings were necessary to decide
|he contest. A second game was to have been
played, but darkness intsrfsred and caused a
Postponement and this has given rise to a dis
ute as 10 the game which was begun early in
he afternoon. My reply was to consult the
ules and see what they have to say on the sub
|ect
The bottom seems to have dropped out Of
he brotherhood schsne just now and it is not
|kely that we will hear any more on the sub
|ect until the meeting in November"
The following comment ON the brotherhood
|eheme In the Philadelphia Inquirer about fits
he case: MANY flaws have been found in the
motherhood scheme. One of the most trans
parent Is the failure to provide any plan to
BRING fresh men into the scheme. The players
p today are to be stockholders in the scheme
] nd once stockholders they will always want to
le stockholders. Ball players become old and
year out the same as men in other trades and
professions. Ten years from now many of the
popular players Of today will be spawned and
blind, and yet being stockholders they will
|sant to keep on playing. The public will not
ARE to see Mike Kelly hmping about on
rutches in the outfield. John Clarkson pitch
ing curved balls by the aid of q storage electric
battery concealed in his shirt, or Arthur Irwin
patching the upward course of fly ball
through a spy-glass. Younger men are needed
or PLAYERS every year, and the gradual weed
ing out OF the veterans would be one of the i'm
possible things under the new scheme. The
uls or ruin policy adopted by some Of the
prominent players will not work, and in the end
fhey will be the sufferers"
