THE League organ, the Sporting Times this
week says: There was abundant reason for
keeping secret, for time at least, much of
what was done last week at Cleveland behind
closed doors. We can assure our readers how
ever, that the result, as will in good time ap-
pear plain, is the outcome of deliberate judi
cious consideration among the delegates who
never fly off the tangent. The work of the
Cleveland meeting in overy way was wise, and
the League is the better for the result thereof
The Brotherhood meanwhile may work their
usual bluff of criticism. But what they know
of the inside of that meeting is exactly what
the world at large knows-evaryDody will be

corpse will be ready in time for the funeral"

BARNIE HUSTLING.
He Makes Speech TO the Wilmington Base
ball Moguis.

WILMINGTON, DEL, March S.-Mauager
William BarnIe, of the Baltimore club. has
been conferrlng with the stockholders of the
local club and taking view of the city in a
baseball sense. A meeting of the Wilmington
clubs and others was addressed by Mr. Barnie.
He spoke of the permanent strength of the At
lantic Association and predicted that it would
eventually be in the front ranks. He denied
that the Atlantic had any intention of dropping
Wilmington.
He urged the stockholders to push the local
club and get the leading business men of the
city interested in it. Acting upon his sugges-
tion, the directors decided to issue 100 additional
shares of stock at SIS per share and it is believed
that this will be taken quickly. Mr.. Barnie
says that as Washington will stick to the Ma
the Atlantic Association will not be broken.

OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE,

The Two Varsity Crews Begin Practice
for Their Big Event.
rBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATCH.I
LONDON, March S.-The Cambridge crew has
begun practice at Putney while Oxford is still
doing work at Cookham. Cambridge is strong
but rough, and its advent on the course has so
far affected its position in the betting quota
tions that the crews are now about equal.
Cambridge covered the whole course to-day in
something like 20 minutes seconds. Next
week, when both crews are seen practicing on
the same water on somewhat similar conditions
fair estimate will be possible for their respec-
tive chances.
Lord Dunraven authorizes me to say, with
regard to the challenge reported to have been
sent him by American yachtmen, that he will
not go to America for anything but Americas
cup. His challenge of last year he believes
still holds good.

M'KEAN IN THE LEAGUE,
He Leaves for Hot Springs In Company
With Manager Schmeiz.

HPECI1L DISPA1CH.i
CLEVELAND, March S.-There is no longer
any doubt as to which club Shortstop Mexican
will play with the coming season. He has been
claimed for the past few weeks by the Brother
hood. In the meantime the League officials have
strenuously maintained that when the proper
time came Mexican would be found with the
old organization. Tonight it is ascertained
that he left on an early morning train for
Hot Springs with Manager Gus Schmelz.
1t seems that he came to the
League people one day this week and
said that he would join the club on its prelim-
mary trip, as he did not want TO get himself on
the League blacklist.
He said that if the League people knew all
the circumstances surrounding his case they
would not feel harshly toward him. He had
always been with the League, and was led to
say some things that he regretted. 1t was at
once arranged to have him leave In company
with the Cleveland manager. The remainder
of the club will follow Monday morning

We have heard nothing definite from the Sui

behalf of Siavin by his Australian hackers
The challenge undoubtedly was an honest one.
no doubt prompted by the honest belief that
Slayin is a superior pugilist to Sullivan. As to
the comparative merits of the two men have
nothing to say at present, because am free to
confess, l don't know sufficient about Slavin
Were the pair to meet on a stage OF platform
with gloves and under Queensberry
rules. most certainly 1 would plump for
Sullivan as winner. But it is another
matter with Sullivan when he is in prize
ring. However, don't think that Sullivan
will meet anybody in a first-class battle for
long time to come. He is not living the life
that irsures a good physical condition by any
means. A friend of mine, who met him IN
New York few days ago, tells me that he is
completely bloated and is drinking heavily
every day. He has been doing this for months
This will tell its tale by and by. Of course Sui
livan is remarkable man in physique but
continued abuse will have its revenge some
day. And when it comes it may come very
suddenly and Just at a time when 1t is wanted
least Sullivan may not fight this year.

The League Schedule.

Haven't much time nor have much space
to talk about the National League schedule.
1t is before us all in all Its strangeness,
for it will look strange to old League patrons.
I think many of will be surprised
TO find that the opening date is not
until April &c. 1t is understood that
the new Leagues opening day will be on April
q. and we all, or almost all, expected that 10th
organizations would open their season on that
date. The opening date of the old League
would seem to give the new League a great ad-
vantage. Cleveland opens out the old League
season and is followed by Chicago and Indian
apolis. That is not a bad arrangement. Pitts
burg also has good time in store for Julv a
TOR Brooklyn is scheduled here that day. and
Pittsburg is assigned to Boston on Decoration
Day, so that on these two popular HOLIDAYS the
local club is well taken care of, But there is
feature about the new schedule which NAV he
an advantageous one. Each visiting club on |
Its first two visits plays two games. The new |
League clubs, according to proposed arrange |
ments, will each play four games. Well il a |
