A Time for CompronIse.

Now is the time for compromise, because
the longer settlement of this ruinous con-
fct is delayed the worse matters will be-
come. I can find no reason why the Ma
tional League directors should for one mo-
ment hesitate to agree to compromise. AS
Manager Wright said few days ago ''in-
jured feelings" may have kept the mag
mates to themselves Tor long time, but
surely the day of njured feelings is past
and the day to do sound business is here.
There have been many plans of compromise
suggested; plans that doubtless have come
before the notice of the people directly in
terested in the business. 1t is not my purpose
to argue what line of compromise should be
adopted because it wouldn't be polite to do
so without all the statements of the re-
spective clubs concerned. This statement
can only be correctly had in a conference.
But can fairly make one contention, viz:
That plan which leaves two clubs in a city
not able or willing to support them will be
no compromise at all. To put the matter
plain there cannot be any compromise in
plan that leaves two clubs in Pittsburg.
The city only needs one, and good
one. 1 hope that this feature will
not be lost sight of by those
who go into conferences il conferences there
be. There are plenty of good available
cities in the country for two organizations,
support two clubs. If conference is held
and the result is that we'll have only two
leading organizations, the National and
Players Leagues, then I will be happy in
the thought that I have not written al
together in vain on the matter. Sooner or
later it Will come to two organizations, and
L have steadily held this opinion and will
continue to hold 1t.
The Championship WIndup.
The last games Of the championship sea-
son were played yesterday and Brooklyn
and Boston are the respective National
League and Players. League winners. 1t
it pity that these two clubs are not allowed
to play against each other. think they
would make great contest with the chances
of victory in favor of Boston. If plan of
compromise could be agreed upon shortly
series of games between the clubs could
soon be arranged. Boston has won the P.
L. pennant by playing good and steady
game. The same may be said of Brooklyn.
OF course, the two pennant contests this
year has not caused the interest that the
race for the one pennant did last year, but
there have been some tolerably exciting
features in both races. The contest
lately between John Wards team and
the New York P. L. team for second
place has been good one. Ansou has done
wonders with his team, and I don't hesitate
to say that he has one OF the best teams in
the country. He has given another proof of
the fact that he is a remarkable man. The
least said abou, our own clubs the better.
One has been a rank failure as ball team,
and the other, the Players League, has
been miserable disappointment. We can
continue to live in hopes of having a good
ball club in Pittsburg. The contests are
over. and the ball player finds himself
much less important parsonage to-day than
he did IL months ago. Then a very large
portion of the public and many capitalists
were holding him up as their idol. To-day
the public is weary, and apparently the
capitalists are looking after themselves,
