TALKING OVER PROSPECTS.

Ban Men In Session at Cleveland What
John I. Brush Thinks Of The Movement.
CLEVELAND. March 5.-The morning
session OF the League meeting had been
called for 10 O'Clock, sod John T. Brush,
cf IGdisnspolis, was evidently determined
not to be caught mapping. At few
minutes before 10 he came down into the
corridor from the dining room. He took
hssty survey of the people who were Sit
ting CT lettering about the lobby, and dis
covering none of mis- colleagues except Sec.
retary Scsndret', Of Pittsburg, probably
thought il would be safe TO take a little
stroll. Accordingly be ssllisd forth, but
three minutes later he hurried back TO the
hotel and took another glance.
Two or three more base ball msgnstes
had arrived by this time, aud Brush con-
cluded to put up bis overcost. Half a
dozen hurried turns through the corridors
failed to allay his nervousness, end then
the Hoosier magnate bs.ook himself to the
meeting room, where he remained until
the third session wss called TO order.
Manager Lesdley, of the Detroit club,
unwittingly betrayed the secret of Brush's
anxiety, when asked if there was any prob
ability OF transfer of the Washington
franchise to Dstroit, by saying: 81 an.
afraid not. 1t looks to me as if there
would be only eight clubs in the League
this year. Washington wants to sell and
We are anxious to buy, but Pve made a
good many irquiries during the last 12
hours, and / am constrained TO believe
that We have not much hope OF getting in.
The general desire is for an eight-club
League, and in spite OF all that has been
said TO the contrary, am about convinced
that Indianapolis and Washington will go
out"
Secretary Scandrett, of the Pittsburg
Club, seemed to think that the Schedule
Committee anticipated the sale of Wash
ingt0n's franchise to Dstroit WHEN il
drew up the recommendation providing
for an equal division Of the mileage ex-
peuses OF the several clubs. "You see, I"
be said, ''it Detroit were to take Wash
iDgton's place Pittsburg wonld be thrown
into the Eastern group, and the con.
sequence would ba q greatly increased
miledRe EXPENSE. OuOCI Tue present ul-
vision OF the clubs Pittsburg has
much the best o! it, for wasn the West
ern clubs so east we have a shorter
distance than any of them to trsve'
bat If we we're TO be put in the Eastern
division we Wouid have to do some very
lively hustling to jump around with BOs-
ton, Brooklyn and New York, and our
milesge would be much larger than that cf
auy other club. This equal division of
the mileage expenses will, OF course, do
away with the objections that we would
otherwise he compelled to raise against
being transferred to ths E'stern group.
However, think this scheme to divide
the mileage expenses equally is very
good one, no matter whetler D.troit takes
Washingtoh's place or not, and | am sur
priced tia. something like it was not
thought of long ago"

MITCHELL ACROSS THE WATER
Gets Into an Alteration and is Placed in
DursnCe Vls---StOry Of Their
Troubles.

NEW YORK, March 5.-Just before the
hour for closing the Kelleys saloon, on
Thirty. first street, Monday night, John L.
Sullivan entered. He was msudlin drunk,
bis hair was disheVeled, and his battered
silk hat was pushed back on his head.
The champion had slap for this one, q
mild purch for that, playful dig 10 the
ribs for the next, and would fall over an
other, accompanying his ante, by insult
ing language.
The greatest Difference WAS shown to the
great pugilist, his victims apparently
feeling honored to be struck By go emil
nent a person. Sometimes he would vary
bis performance by knocking of bat and
pressing his hsnds over some ones face.
He observed tba. one yonrg man and his
two female companions were taking no
notice Of him and became sngered. He
made several uncompimentary remarks
about him in vain. Suddenly Sullivan
jumped to his feet, knocking over the
table % he got up. and exclaimed: 81
am John L. Sullivan, and can whip any
msn in the world"
Everyone laughed including THE Young
man. When the champion raw him
laughing he walked ever to his table and
seated himself next to him. The young
man turned mis- back to Sullivan who then
became furious. In loud voice, he ex-
claimed: "Do you know who / amp"
mo-" returned the youog mao. 81
dom, kno" who you are, and done
care.n
well sm Sullivan, and I can kill
you with one blow"
The young man said he did not care
who he was, and tha. he would no: allow
Sullivsn or any other man to insult him.
Sullivan Jumped 70 his feet, as if TO fright
en- the yOuug man, bat before he could
put no bis hsn l. the yolug man was upon
his feet. Strengthening himself mp he let
20 with his right fist with terrible force.
and it landed on the champions mouth
with telling effect. Sullivan reeled, stag
gered and, falling over two chairs, sprswled
upon the fDor Toe young man was dis
Greet enough 10 take light at once Sulli-
vans friends had difficulty in preventing
him from reyeOging himself upon innocent
spectators.
Nobody knew the gallant youth who
had tpu5k enough to let 20 st Sullivan.
