The American Association.


During the next few DAYS the interest of
baseball patrons will be principally centered
In the annual meeting of the American As
sociation. That very woful and struggling
organization has some very knotty questions
to deal with, but the probability is that
everything will come out right in the end.
When we penetrate these difficulties, which
are only on the surface, well find that the
Associations prospects are brighter than
they have ever been in its history. Ger
tainly am mindful of the fact that. an opin-
Ion prevails to the effect that the National
League only takes care of the younger BODY
IN so far as that care-taking aids the Ma
tional League. share this conviction to a
very great extent and l have more than once
said that the National League has iuyaria-
bly, been disposed to ride rough shod over
the Association when such action promised
an advantage to the National League How
ever, at the present time it is entirely to the
advantage of the older organization to assist
in every way possible in placing the Asso-
citation on firm and assuring basis. The
stronger that the American Association is
ace most decidedly the better will it be for
National League. The magnates of the
ter are aware of this, and anticipate
these magates will assist the Associa-
Oest in the history of the latter BODY. There
is probability that Boston, and possibly
Chicago, will be added to the Associations
circuit Certainly, there will be some new
cities, because such cities as Rochester and
Syracuse are hardly class enough for an or
ganization like the Association. A circuit
with Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington in the East, and Chicago,
Columbus, Louisville and St. Louis in
the West would, indeed, look very
strong, and 1 don't think that the Boston
and Philadelphia capitalists would have
very strong objections against having clubs
in circuit Of the kind named. The annual
meeting of the Association then will have
something to do toward ending the talk and
threats OF the P. L. capitalists who are still
''out in the cold" Doubtless Mr.. Spalding
has been busying himself on this matter,
and he spoke so confidently regarding it the
other day that ] will not be surprised il
franchises are handed out to new cities
without any trouble at all.

WORK OF JOHNSON AND PRINCE.
Opinions Relative to McLean's Defeat of

KESSLER'S DEFEAT OF LA BLANCHE.
MuldOon's Statement About Kirsn and Training

The baseball events of the week show
that if the "hurly-burly" is not done the
battle is certainly lost and won. There is
now every certainty that the national pas
time will be carried next year substantially
on the same lines as when it was in all its
glory, and that, being SO, it now becomes the
duty of everybody who has the interest of
the game at heart to do all their power
to assist in regaining its popularity.
To some it may be difficult to forget
the stlngs of defeat, but those
who do so will certainly play the
most manly part. To treasure up personal
ceiling on the matter at the cost of any good
that one might do in the interest of the
game only shows mind exceedingly warped
with prejudice and bigotry. Let us all for
get that there was any conflict as far as
our doing good in the common
cause is concerned. True, President
Prince is not inclined to allow us to
forget the unpleasant side of the affair. The
Boston attorney as an intimidator is certain
ly champion, although he may know little
or nothing about baseball. His efforts to
scare capitalists of the National League and
PLAYERS generally have been exceedingly
amusing in face of the fact that Al johnson
was in New York at the same time making
efforts to sell out to the National League, In
Boston we have had President Prince issuing
manifestoes to the effect that the PLAYERS
League was not dead, and that it would GER
tainly 60 on next season, and still further
that all the clubs that had left the Players
League would be brought back by
law. This was from the Boston end
Of the Players League, where
the President resides. But Al johnson, the
Vice President, was in New York at the
same time and was by his actions saying
that his superior officer was talking nothing
but rot" and nonsense. Mr. johnson, de-
spite various threats of his President, was
using every effort he could to sell his inter-
est out to the n. L. Proceedings of this
kind only make the gentlemen still inter
ested in the P. L. appear more ridiculous
before the public and diminishes their
chances of getting terms that they
otherwise might get from those who
are masters of the situation. Mr.. johnson
must never for one moment expect that he
will get out even, because everybody has
been loser TO a considerable extent. He
above all others ought to be prepared to
take the lions share OF the losses, lust as he
would have reaped the lions share OF the
glory had the affair been success. How
ever, there are strong indications that the
conflict to all intents and purposes will be
ended this urael-

Muldoon's Training Notions,

The other day noticed few remarks from
William Muldoon on training, or. more strictly
speaking, on Kilrain's ability to defeat SullI-
van, providing, the former was properly
trained. have always thought that MuIdoon
had very poor notion Of pugilism before, now
am certain Of it. He is quoted as saying:
when saw Kilrain in the ring against Sulli-
van came to the conclusion that Kilrain was
the best heavyweight fighter had ever seem
His fighting In that fight was marvellous, con-
sidering his condition, The mere fact that a
man in such poor shape could stay in the ring
hours and 20 minutes with the Thermometer
at lOS, was revelation to me of the mans
strength. He was fighting under every disad-
vantage. He had been trained down to I73
pounds. His proper fighting weight is 1876
pounds, and every, pound less than that was SO
much strength taken away from him." 1t Is
not necessary to 60 into any detailed argument
70 show the absurdity of the above
kllraln, according to Mulioon's notion should
have pulverlzed Jem Smith when they met
because hnraln was much heavier then than
when he met Sullivan. But Kirain was con-
tent to make draw with the English
man, who could not possibly have any chance
TO defeat Sullivan. But the history of the prize
ring proves that Muldoons notion of weight is
1allaclous one, and the very fact that men
just as tall and as thick as Kilrain have ap-
peared IN the ring considerably lighter than he
was and nave stood up against the severest
punishment ior longer time than he stood mp
and escaped 1t proves that Muldoon probably
has something to learn about pugilists. As for
hllraln nghtlng Sullivan again, don't think
that JAKE would undertake to do that even il
Muldoon were allowed to Join him in trying to
Knock the Dig fellow out between them

1t seems TO me that the stock holders of
the local ball club have acted very wisely in
selecting Walter W. Burnham as manager
of the club for next year. He has a most
brilliant record, and is an intelligent and
active man. The other officials have not
been elected yet, and it is not pleasant to
learn that there exists between two or three
OF the stockholders a strong bitterness of
feeling regarding the presidency. Ii this is
carried TO any extent it will certainly reflect
no credit on the principals; they are busi-
ness men and not children. The question is
very simple one, in fact so simple that
child could be guided through it all right
with very little assistance. The directors
have the power to elect the President, and
the gentleman whom the majority
supports has the most right to the position
That's all there is In it, and the man whose
hopes are blighted will only show his weak
ness of mind and lack of manliness who
takes the sulks because of the opinion of the
majority. It is not within nv province
Just now to advocate the claims of any man,
but do say that all should act like
sensible business men. Nothing definite
can be done vet regarding securing new
players for the club. There is q desire, how
ever, among the stockholders to send a rep
resentatlve to confer with Mr.. Spalding at
Chicago relative to that gentleman's allow
ing some OF his old stars to come here. The
idea is good one. There is no doubt what
ever that interest in the national game is on
the increase. In local baseball circles the
general theme of conversation is regarding
who Will play here next year. That is un-
certain, but II is among the possibilities that
Ward and other famous players will be
here.

No Orangeburg Roughs at Sumter.
from the Onuqeb,rg Enteprise. !

It has gone the rounds of good many
newspapers in the State that there was q
"howling mob" at Sumter which interrupt
ed Gen. Earle, and that the mob was COM
posed of persons mainly from Orangehurg
county
When we read this we certainly were
greatly surprised as we did not think that
Orangeburg county contained enough Of
those human beings bearing striking re-
semblance in actions to the long-eared ami
NAL to form "howling mob" In this is
sue will be found denial of the truth Of
this statement made in the Register, the
Ne,cs and Courier and other papers. Capt
P. Webb Bull has come to the front and
says that these men were not Orlngaburg
men, and that the report that Orangeburg
men were jailed at Sumter is bilse false
hood. We are glad indeed to heac this de-
MED from o prominent gentleman of the
very section Of the county from which it is
charged this ''howllng mob" came. From
our own knowledge of the people OF Orange
burg county we prefer to believe Mr.. Bulls
statement in preference to the reports pub
lished in these daily papers of tae State.
The men from the Santee section Of Orange
burg county who went over to Sumter to at
tend the meeting there did not act like a
"howling mob" but they do not deny that
they cheered for Iillman. They hollered
for their choice, and may have hollered
pretty loud, too, but they did so like gen
tlen.en and at the proper time.

Both Ankles Crushed.

In a railroad smashup in 1876 I had
both ankles badly crushed. Soon after
blood poison set in, and both legs,
from my knees down, we're covered
with liberated sores, that refused all
efforts to heal. I was virtually help
less for ten years, being bedridden
most of the time. During all the
time I was attended by the best ply
sicians in this section of the State,
and must have taken a cart load of
medicine, without receiving any re-
lief or being benefited in any way.
In 1887 I was induced to try Swift's
Specific Is. S. S. I comenced to i'm
prove from the first dose, and contin-
ued to get better, until to-day I. am
as sound and well as any man in the
universe. This was two years ago,
since which I have had no return of
sores or any pain in the legs. From
my experience 7 corscientious!y be-
lieve that Swift's Specific IS. S. S. has
no equal as a blood purifier, and I
cheerfully recommend it to any one
suffering from any disease of the
blood. CHARLES E. HAMILTON,

BILE speech upon the issues of the day, set
ting forth in sound and logical argument
the necessity of standing together. He ad-
vocated the farmers platform, and in an
eloquent manner reminded US that upon
this platform our future prosperity entirely
depended. He retired amid applause.
Our gallant L. T. Fischer was loudly call
ed for He acknowledged the compliment
by rising with his face still wreathed with
smiles for the Tillman Summerton Demo-
cratic club victory, and said he was not a
candidate and begged to be excused and sat
down amid a round. Of applause.
Mr. james being called for made brief
speech, showing how the missionary Ants
had their hands full with the Yllman war
riors.
Mr.. L. r. Chewing, ST., was loudly called
upon Though an invalid for years and not
able to rise from his chair where he was
carried, when this noble old Roman began to
speak love and veneration was depicted up
on every countenance, and amid round of
applause he thanked his fellow-citizens for
the compliment paid him. He said he knew
he had but few more years to live, but
when his country called him he would,
though feeble. hold up his hands while
breath remained and especially for his
brethren, the sorely oppressed farmers. He
very forcibly dwelt upon the great issues
before US, and he trusted that his fellow
citizens would stand firmly upon the farm
ers' platform, for upon it we must stand or
forever fall This grand old gentleman con-
cluded amid loud cheers.
We will give our county convention on the
I'd OF August five or six delegates, true and

defending the department OF agricul-

behind the gentleman above referred
to, and was discussing the political
situation with friend. The time,
three years ago. Mr.. Haskell deplored
the small support given the South
Carolina College, and said it was a
useless waste of money to support the
agricultural bureau; that the $780,

The State campaign meeting is TO
be held in Manning next Saturday,
the 26th inst, and that day will be
an important epoch in the history OF
our county. Men OF Clarendon,
shall the page of our history written
that day pass into the future, to
bring the blush of shame to our
children's cheeks for their fathers
conduct? Shall we initiate those
counties which howl down gentlemen
and Democrats who address them on
the momensous issues OF the day, or
shall we follow the example of chiyal-
rous Chesterfield which gracefully ac-
corded 8 patient and respectful hear
ing to each of the speakers?
Let every son of Clarendon who at
tends that meeting see to it that the
outside world admits that our people
represent the good breeding and re-
6nement OF our party; the elevated
thoughts which are current through
ont its ranks; the generous propensi-
ties which prompts its nobler actions,

disturb, or the vice which tends to
disgrace ii. Free thought and free
