BROOKLYN WINS AGAIN,
Giving the BridegroOms n Big Lead In
the Worlds Championship Contest

Brooklyn won again yesterday from New
York. thus taking big lead in the race for the
worlds championship. The game was played
in Brooklyn and the score was 10 to z. Crane
and Ewing and Terry and Clark were the bat
teries. The day was very cold and raw and
the 5000 people who attended were barely
able to keep warm. Six innings carried the
game well into the dark and were all that could
be played. The umpiring favored Brooklyn
throughout and the partisans of the Giants
were disgusted- New York made 8 hits and 8
errors and BROOKLYN hits and error The
Giants played a chasing game making five
runs in the sixth and thus tying the score. But
the Bridegrooms made three In their half and
settled the contest.

1t seems that President Hewett has not Of
Tered contracts to any of his men because they
have hot yet been classified by President
Young. This is very sensible; it might be that
the work done now would have to be repeated
In striking contrast with this attitude is that
of President Spalding of Chicago, who says:
when the men signed our contracts last year
II was under the agreement that we had the
right TO reserve them for this year. Now we
wish to enforce the terms of that contract, but
as yet no one but Capt Arson has signed.

must come to the front and sign for next year

secret organization and they won't say they
will not sign nor will they say they will. They
simply look wise and say nothing. But will

THE BROTHERHOOD SCHEME.
II is more than likely that the widely adver.
tised brotherhood scheme has been the result
Of the Vaccinations Of few leading and infiu-
entail agitators who have acted without any
authority from the central body. 1t is there
fore with evident truth that the brotherhood
players declare that they know nothing of the
scheme. In view of this fact the following an
nouncement from Chicago is interesting:
The brotherhood Of base ball players has
issued a call for a convention, which will meet
In New York soon after the first of next month.
Fred Pfeffer, who is reported to be at the head
OF the brotherhood movement in Chicago said
Each chapter will send one man. and then
all our grievances will be talked over The
classification of players and the salary question
will be an important considerat. IN. think we
can settle everything in day; anyhow we will
not be in session over two days. We agreed
that 1t would be best to hold meeting before
the meeting of the league directors, because
We might decide to present our claims before
them But IL is too early yet to anticipate what
We will do. We have really not vet decided
upon anything definite, and until the meeting
occurs all talk about what action we will take
Is merely surmise-that is, beyond what have
already told you"
NOTES.
'The Giants are in tine SOUP" pathetically
remarked De Wolf Hopper last night ..It's .
good thing their benefit is over, or this would
hurt it. We are the people no more"
Indianapolis has signed Eiteljorg, q youne
pitcher who has been on trial since the close
OF the season None Of the regular and re-
served his players have signed, nor have they
been requested to do so.
Secretary Scandrett of the Pittsburg club
says he viii institute legal proceedings to pre-
vent players from playing with rival organiza
lions.
