The Policy of the New Organization

AN HONEST GAME PROMISED

Proclaimed aud the Former Mag
mates of the Diamond Told
TO Go to Now.
Masters of Themselves.

NEW YoRK, Nov. 4.--The counsel OF the
motherhood base ball players, after an oil
days session, made public this evening
statement defining their position toward the
National league.
Referring TO their intention to embark IN
business for themselves next year, an ex-
pianatlou of the reasons is made, which says
in part
'Therc was time when the name of tile
league stood for integrity aud fair dealing.
To-day 1t stands for dollars and cents.
'Once it looked to the elevation OF the
game and honest sport. To-day its eyes are
on the turnstile. Men have come into the
business with no other motive than to ex-
ploit IL for every dollar in sight.
Measures originally intended for the good
OF the game have been perverted into instru-
ments for wrong. lhe reserve rule ana the
provisions of the national agreement give
the managers unlimited power, and they
have not hesitated TO use this in most aroi-
trary aud mercenary ways. Players nave
been bought and sold and exchanged as II
they were sheep. Reservation became with
them another name for property rght. by
combination among themselves stronger
than the strongest trust they were able 10
enforce the most arbitrary rules, and player
had either TO submit or get out of the pro-
fession In which he had spent years attain
ing proficiency"
4 he statement then details the labors of
the brotherhood with the league magnates
for the past two years IN futile endeavor TO
remedy some of the evils, and says upon the
final refusal this year To meet the brother
hood the latter began organizing.
1--WE believe" says tho statement. shat
it Is possible to conduct our Dationai game
upon lines which will not infringe upon indi
vidual and national rights. We ask TO be
Judged solely by our work, believing the
game can be played fairly and the business
conducted more inteliigently under our pian
which excludes everything arbitrary and un-
American"
The first annual meeting of the Players
National League" as the new organization
is called, will be held Wednesday, and the
final disposition of clubs and players will be
made.
Brooklyn and Buffolo will take the place
of Indianapolis and Washington, and the
players of these clubs will be distri buted
between Brooklyn, Buffalo and Pitts burg.

Tho Wrestling Exhibition.

The wrestling match between Tom Con-
ners, the champion catch-as-catch-ca artist
of America, and Arthur Rothery, of this
city, Mt the Peoples theatre last evening,
attracted n large and enthusiastic audience,
and well were they repaid The conditions
OF the contest were that Corners was TO
throw the local representative twice in
twenty minutes or forfeit S25 of his snary,
and Rothery laid wager of $50 with his
opponent just before time was called, that
Conners would fail in his undertaking. Au-
stUsGiiroy manipulated the fan in Con-
ners' corner, while Billy Hawkins, the fam
Gus ST. Paul light weight, esquired Rotherv.
&C. Booth, yclept LORD" was chosen time
keeper and Sandy Griswold referee.
Promptly at 10 O'Clock the men shook
hands and came together The first bout
was short and sweet, Rothery planting both
shoulders in the mattress IN Just three min
utes and five seconds.
The second bout, however. was a much
better exhibition OF skill aud science, Roth
cry doing some very clever head-spinnng,
and compelling his invincible adversary To
work laborIously for twelve minutes and
ive seconds before. by main strength, he
bore his shoulders 10 the carpet.

MUCH ADo ABOUT NOTHING.
InconsequeDtinl Meeting of til
Western Association.

InconsequeDtial Meeting of the
Western Association.
The annual meeting of the Western asso-
ciation came to g. close at Minneapolis Sunday
night, but so far as any business of import
ance is concerned, the meeting might as we'll
have never occurred. II was the same old
story-an apology for a meeting of so-caled
minor league moguls. The stupendous piece
of work of re-electing Dick Mccormick,
president of the association, and Mike Roach,
sporting editor of the st. Paul Pio-
neer Press, secretary, was sue
cessfully accomplished. Both are first
class men, and that is all that is necessary to
be said upon that head. Besides this IA board
of directors and a schedule committee was
appointed, aud that wound up the proceed
lngs Of the meeting.
A club to take the place of the st. Joes
was not even, selected. but a brief canvass of
the subject revealed that Lincoln could step
IN il she desires. That ls as much as to say that
there were no applications from Detroit, To-
ledo or any of the other cities that have been
mentioned so frequently in this connection
during the past mouth, and even Lincoln is
an Uncertainty, all of which goes to show
that the condition of the Western associa-
tion is anything but a satisfactory one, and
the outlook is not what might be termed
roseate. Mccormick, OF this city, and
delegates TO the minor leagues meeting
which is to be held in New York on the lth.
By that time the full intent and purpose of
the brotherhood and National league will be
known, and this knowledge may enable the
minor magnates to determine upon policy
of their own. If the Brotherhood
does launch forth upon its own
hook, then it is all day with
the minor bodies. and the sooner they sell out
their players and realize what they can upon
them the better it Will he for those who have
sunk money in these institutions. If the Broth
erhood is enabled TO absorb all the players
of the great National league, what must
she be able to do with lesser
bodies. She will say to the players
such as she desires to fill out the compile
ment of the eight teams-"Come with us
we'll give you good salary and plenty of
protection" Aud the players will jump
like pack of sheep. Then what are the
minor moguls going to do about it' they
will have absolutely no redress; they can
only look passlvely on, and heap impotent
anathemas upon the powers that be. Such
is the undenable statuso base ball affairs,
and the prospects for a successful season in
this association arc bad enough, indeed.

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-TSpecial Telegram to
THE BEE. After the Baptist minister's
meeting had adjourned this morning, and be.
fore the clergymen had left the room, Rev.
William NJ. Lawrence, the president of the
minister's association, call ed attention to the
fact that the Chicago saloonkeepers' assoca-
tion had sent out to the saloonkeepers IN the
city host of candidates who should be
blackllsted and scratched.
81 am of the opinion, - said Rev. Lawrence,
''that the sort of men blacklisted by saloon
keepers are just the sort we clergymen want
to support. For that reason | want all of
you to unite with me in working to elect the
blacklisted candidates. One of them. w. A.
Bonner is democrat. The five others are
republicans"
President Lawrence's suggestion was
promptly acted upon, and the ministers re-
solved TO support in every instance the black

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-[Special Telegram to
THE BEE. The little city of Decatur, ILL.,,
is greatly excited over the trial of Jack
Faunce, who is charged with the murder of
a defenseless man whose only crime was to
try to protect couple of ladies from wanton
insult On the night of July an unknown
man followed and insulted Mrs. Mary
Griffith and Mrs. Rebecca Smith on dark
street. They cried out for help, and Matt
Mckinney went to their rescue and was shot
down. The evidence so far has been an
effort on the part of the state TO show the
proximity of the defendant to the scene of
the murder when it was committed. The
defense will try TO prove an allbi. Several
people have testified to the presence of "a man
resembling Faunce in the vicinity at the
time of the tragic occurrence The case is
being fought with great determination.

A Rather Fresh u,iect.

CHICAGO Nov. 4-[Speclal Telegram to
The BEE. For q year or moro there has
been a determined attempt made by the
Kansas salt directors to put themselves on a
level with Michigan and eastern salt-pro-
ducing points. Naturally the western roads
tried to favor the Kansas points, and the
result has been constant ciashing of rates.
Finally, on October 25 the whole matter
was referred to Chairman Walker, of the
Inter State Commerce Railway association,
for arbitration. To-day he gave his decision,
fixing rates from Chicago to all western
points, and from Hutchinson aud
other salt-producing points in Kansas,
wh ich, as nearly as possible, equalizes the
rat es on salt between all western points, no
matter where the salt originates. ~
The rates established are. final for four
months but may be changed If shown un-
just, as the result of the coming four months
shipments. From Chicago rate of Is cents
to all Missouri river points is made. From
Kansas salt producing points to the same
points rates varying from 1l2$ cents to Kan
sas City aud is cents to Sioux City are also
established.
