BOTH IN TO STAY.
The Two Cleveland Clubs Prepared to Lose
Lois of Money.

CLEVELAND, May 9.-Both the League and
Brotherhood clubs have been playing here 10 a
small attendance. but this is due largely to bad
weather, there having been only two good base
ball days since the season opened. The average
attendance at League games has been about 5O0
and while the Brotherhood opened its season to an
attendance of 600 ii has since dropped below SOO
There have been rumors that the League club
here has not deposited its guarantee s9 600 that
it will not go through the season, but the rumors
are denied by the officials. who say the club will
go through the at all hazards, and that the
report that the club will sell TO st. Louis is
false. President Robson told me to-day that the
club expects to lose SIS 00 before the season ends
As to the Brotherhood. President johnson tells
me that he expects TO make little money, but
will not be much worried if he does not, and he
swears on his honor kentucklan that he will
go through the season no matter what happens.
He saws no kind of misfortune can drive him out,
as there is plenty ofmoney behind the club. Tom
johnson. brother OF AL. thinks that money will be
made, though not much if the same amount
of capital were applied to the street railway busi-
ness. Tom is determined to see his brother safely
through
1t very likely that both clubs will play all sea-
son. there is no sign of weakness in either. Two
very determined baseball factions have formed
themselves in this city. The conservative element
clings to the League and the younger bloods stand
bv the Brotherhood. The League men wouldn' c
think of gong TO the Brotherhood games. The
Brotherhood is booming itself and advertising ex-
feusivelv.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 9.-The baseball reports

nation that such a transfer is contemplated. Mr.
Brush expressed the opinion that the club could
only be kept in PittsburC by the owners going
down deeply into their pockets. Mr.. Spalding
has the right idea. No city maintain more
than one club. and that club must cater to the
best class of people and become object of local
pride. With Two or more clubs in city, the in
Jerest in the national game will die out This is
the position The League has taken all along. aud
it is tie reason why people who want to see base
ball kept up as the national game should patron
ize the League. There was never any excuse for

Result of Cutting OFF Chicago Quotations
From the Bucket Shops.
CHICAGO, May 9.-Interviews have been
published with President Baker and other
officials and members of the Board of Trade
in regard to the results achieved by stopping
the dissemination of quotations. They are
unitedly enthusiastic, and declare that the
move has proved such a pronounced sue
cess that the sending out of quotations will
never be resumed.
The killing off of the bucket shops has
brought the business back to the board,
where the amount of trading has been null
tiplied many times. This has begot compe-
tition and resulted in higher prices They
point to the fact that memberships on the
board which we're for sale a short time ago
at from 5000 to 500, are now worth 81, 200
and none are on the market.

Efforts to Arrange n Great International
Billiard Tournament.

NEw YORK, May e.-The financial success Of
the recent big billiard tournaments in this city
and Chicago has led to serious consideration of the
project of holding an international tourney in
Paris this summer, with return tournament in
this city in the winter. As in the of the re-
cent Journeys George r. Slosson again comes to
the front as an ardent supporter Of the project,
which he believes will work great benefit to
American billiard interests and incidentally coin
the enterprise.
The project was broached recently to A. f.
Troescheea. the Treasurer of the Brunswick
Balke-ColIender Company. and found his ready
appreciation. He telegraphed to Chicago to abe
heads OF the company there. and ii is reported in
dispatches that the Chicago members favored the
undertaking also. Slosson's idea is to have
tourney with Plot, VignauX. GARNER, Carter,
Ives, DAILY, Maggioli, Schaefer and himself as
competitors if ali these will enter and secure the
pledge of the foreigners to compete in an Ameri-
tourney afterward.
