States league has disbanded
Too much credit cannot be given to John
CIarkson for his nerve in pitching the two
games at Boston yesterday. This man is a
credit to base ball, as he is one of the first men
of our present day to show that pitcher can
pitch two games in succession if he is SO dis
posed.-N. Y. Sun.
New York could beat out Boston if "Old
Probs." would keep his hands off, says the
Herald
If the Giants fail to win this year." said
Manager Mutrie, 1.-The weather will be to
blame"
The number of league batters who have

The special meeting of the American assoca-
ton called for Philadelphia today has been
postponed by President Wikoff to September
% at Cincinnati. Owing to a pressure of bust
ness quorum could not be secured at Philadel-
phia.
The glorious uncertainties of base ball were
never more conclusively shown. First, Chi
cago goes to Cleveland and beats the Infants
three straight. Then the Infants come to
Washington and beat the Senators three
straight, and now the Senators turn around
and beat Chicago three straight Base ball is
not good game for the gambler.-Chicdgo
Tribune Then add to this the defeat of the
Senators for three straight games in Chicago
on the recent trip and the thing becomes odder
than ever
The New lork-Boston controversy as to which

says: When such men as Bennett, CAMEL and
Dan Brouthers say that the Boston public are
the coolest crowds toward the home team they

McAleer, the center fielder Of the Cleveland

fering considerable pain by reason of the torn
Hgaments IN his left ankle. Surgeons have Or
dered him to remain perfectly quiet tor at least
two weeks, when it is believed he will be able
to walk out
The brotherhoods winter scheme for 49, 80
has come to light. They have something to
agitate every year during the dull season be-
tween games, and for that reason they are
generally blessed. The plan of the brother
hood Is TO run the game on sort of cooperative
basis, placing the management of the whole al
fair III the hands of a general committee of
eight, consisting OF one representative from
each league club. These clubs will probably
be formed In New York, Boston, Chicago, Phil
adelphia, Brooklyn, Cincinnati, Washington
and Cleveland or St. Louis Each club will
have a stock capital of :20, 900. some of which
will be taken by the players and the rest by the
men who are to act as officers and financial
hackers. The players are to receive small
but fair salary and percentage of the net
profits. The receipts after all expenses, in
Guiding the players salaries and percentages,
are paid. are to be put into pool and divided
into eight equal parts, one share going to each
club. 1t is hoped by this to bring the cities all
on the same financial footing and do away with
! the claim that the strong cities are making
money at the expense OF the weak. From each
| clubs share Of the net profits stated amount
will be paid into sinking fund and the rest
| paid out i'll dividends on stock
Another new feature will be the hanging up
| OF big money prizes for the first and second
and, perhaps, third clubs in the championship
race. The amount has not been yet deter
mined, but 1t has been suggested that each
| club put say $1,000 in the pot at the OPEN
| ing OF the season. This would make $40, 900 to
| play for, of which the winning team would take
s25,O0O, the second $4,000 and the third
] $4,000.
! There will be no Sunday games no liquor
| selling on the grounds and but little change in
| the prices of admission, unless u motion now
| under debate to reduce the bleaching board"
| tickets to 25 cents is carried.
