MAULlFFES CHALLENGE TO CARROLL

And still we have to say a few words
about the League and the Brotherhood.
There is no way to avoid it because in the
sporting world during the week it has been
Brotherhood in the morning, Brotherhood
at noon and Brotherhood at night One of
the most interesting features of this Brother
hood affair, during this Brotherhood week,
has been the story of Mr.. johnson, OF Cleve-
land, A. C. johnson, 1 think. Well, in a
very long story, remarkable for its mac
curscies, according to Manager Hanlon,
Mr.. johnson frankly tells the world why he
is interesting himself in the baseball bust
ness. 1t is not to make money, not a bit OF
it. as far as anything of such sordid nature
like that is concerned, Mr.. johnson is now
on too high plane to stoop to such thing.
He has resolved to metaphorically offer
himself up as a sacrifice for the
poor downtroden ball player; whose bondage
according to some, modern historians is worse
than was that of the Israelites under Pharaoh;
that of the Poles under the bloodthirsJy and
desperate tyranny of Russia, or even that of the
Italians under the fiendish treatment of the
Austrians. Doubtless his mission. self-im-
posed at that presume, is, or at least ought to
be considered a noble one. The burden of
ball player nowadays is probably more than can
be tolerated. 1t may be one of Mr.. Johnson's
aims to see that this poor and struggling SER
want Of the people should have more leisure
than is now meted out to him. 1t is fact that
he performs six or seven months in the year
for the paltry sum of s. OOO or s., 600. and even
at that his daily toll sometimes extends into
the third hour. Doubtless, Mr.. JohnsOn's
philsnthropic spirit may become so powerful
that he'll think it very tyrannical state of
things to see ball player doing any work at
all. Oh! What a blessing it would be
if Mr.. johnson imbued with all the
spirit of philanthrophy that our Cleveland
Mr.. johnson possesses. would spring up and
for instance try and improve the lot of those
poor overworked and underpaid street car con-
luctors. The ball players lot may be hard
ne, but even he, poor wretch, invariably earns
lore in an hour than driver or a conductor
lrns in a month. When we reflect moment
two it does seem strange that Mr.. johnson
some kind, whose heart is overfowing with
sympathy for the oppressed, does not observe
the sufferings of street car employees in some
cities; or even notice the exacting toll of re-
porters who, for $40 or SIS per week, are daily
telling the story of the sufferings and unjust
treatment of S250per-day ball players Surely
there is something rotten in the State of Den
mark"

Keefe's Latest.

Tim Keefe has been talking again. and his
latest statement is quite contrary to his former
declarations. Here's his latest: "Yes, the
players are through with the present owners of
the League clubs, and will have no further in
tercourse with them. We have gone too far to
retreat now, SO we will carry or at least try to
carry, our plans through. think we will sue
ceed by seeding, for think the players have
right on their side, and sufficient capital be-
hind them to guarantee success. The League
club owners WILL of course, do all they can to
break up our organization, but do not think
they will succeed. That story about trouble in
the Brotherhood is started by those people or
their friends for the sole purpose of making
trouble At the next meeting the corporation
will elect its President, and then the actual
Gus about the welfare of the minor leagues.

very interesting case with regard to pool
selling and bookmaking will shortly be argued
at Nashville. Tenn. Two years ago the Legis-
lature passed a bill prohibiting book betting
and the sale of pools on races run outside of

cense on firms or individuals selling pools or
making book bets on races run on other thanTen-
nessee tracks. The poolroom proprietors. who
contend that this clause repeals the act passed
at che session of 1887, commenced offering bets,
and have continued to do so ever since. Sew

was announced on October "A that their counsel
and the Attorney General had agreed upon a

TALKING ABOUT AN ADVANCE.

River Miners Call n Convention to Take
Action for Better Pay.
There are indications of trouble ahead be-
tween the river miners and operators. The
miners of the Fourth pool, who have been
working for cents per bushel, have de-
clared their intention of moving for an in
crease of one-half cent if the miners in the
lower pool take stand for 8 cents per
bushel.
The miners in the employment of Joseph
Walton & Co., second pool, held meeting
last Friday and issued call to the miners
of all mines shipping coal by river to send
delegate to convention to meet at Byers'
Hall, Monongahels City, on Wednesday,
November 6, at 10 o'clock A. NJ. All dele
gates are to attend fully instructed in re-
gard to the price per bushel to be demanded
for mining.
There is feeling among operators that
they cannot afford to make any advance.

to head Colonel Cone, of the regiment, in
the early pa rt of the week sent all the corre-

tion for the rental or use of armories tor
other than military purpose he shall at once
communicate the decision TO the officer in
charge of said armory, whose duty it shall be
to conform to the decision OF the Quartermas-

The English of these two communications is
that Governor Bulkley as Commander-in-
Chief of the army, has ordered Colonel Gone to
SO arrange his hours for drills that they shall
not interfere with the polo playing of Governor
Bulkley's amusement company. The officers
of the regiment held protracted meeting last

said that since he had been drawn into the
matter, he would send for the people on
Wednesday if they do not appear at his

Dominick plainly intimated that if his saloon
business did not improve he would re-enter
the ring as a middleweight. 1t seems that
quite an army of actors frequent Dominicks
place, and he is not by any means any the bet
ter for it financially. However his business is
not as profitable as it ought to be. hence his
inclination to leave it. Well now, don't
think that McCaffrey would make a mistake
by re-entering pugilistic circles as a middle

class was among the middleweights, and If he
was in that class don't think there is man
