PHILADELPHIA, Dec. S.-One of the pretti-
est exhibitions of billiards ever seen in this
city came IN the afternoon game of the tourna-
ment. The champion. Mclaughlin. was pitted
against Rhoads, and played 400 to his 2l5.
Rhoads won the bank and opened the game
with !, while Mclaughlin piled up 6. Both
played unevenly until the 18th inning, when
Mclaughlin began TO roll up the points at a
rapid pace. In one attempt be got together Go,
and followed this up with 81, "a IS 3 and l6.
This, with some more good playing, soon ran
out his string, while Rhoads had only S3 to his
credit. McLaughlin's nursing and masse
shooting was brilliant, but both were exceeded
by his round-the-table shots, which were mar
wells of accuracy. The full score is as follows:

burg worthy the name who does not know,
or who has not heard of George W. Burn
ham. George was the man who came to this
city not very long ago and bluffed the Ma.
tional League into giving indianapolis a
franchise and shutting Kansas City out.
George had $1,000 and X. c. people $50, 600.
Burnham was in it then and subsequently
came to Pittsburg as manager OF the Hoos-
iers. He always was a man the like OF
whom one does no: meet every day. But he
always knows baseball pointer or two.
He was in the city yesterday, located at
the Hotel DuQueSue. He is now represent
ing the Missouri Car and Foundry Company,
aud he WAS accompanied by gentleman
named Floyd who was too bashful to say what
he was engaged in.
Mr.. Burnham made very significant state
ment regarding baseball affairs His home is
in Indianapolis and be talked as follows about
Mr.. Brush and the Iatter's plans: Mr.. Brush
is a shrewd man and in my opinion he has 4
scheme on hand that will fool many people. He
out for the stuff and he has two franchises.
both National League. He has one Tor lnulan-
apulis and another for Cincinnati. Well do you
know that he will play both these for money
lie knows that Cincinnati is an Association or
4 deal there at the last moment. He is also fig
urinE on having a National League team in
indianapolis. because preparations in the way
Of grounds, etc, are already going on. We
have some enthusiasts or cranks in Indian
apolis. and my friend Brush will say TO them:
Why. now have League franchise which we
can keep if we can ralse about Sl0O0O' They
will, as usual. raise ABOUT 5000 or S7.O00 and
that will suit him and awav the deal goes. He
will do his after lie has effected the Cincinnati
deal. But bear in mind the fact that he will
try and make . deal with the Association peo-
pie. / know Nj. Brush. As 4 result. predict
that there will be a League club in Indian
apolis and an Association club in Cincinnati"
The above information goes for what 1t Is
WORTH but ii Is q fact that MIR. Burnham was
very positive in ms statements and he has 4
wide experience. Only One man can absolutely
prove HIM to be wrong. and that is Mr.. Brush,
of indianapolis. II Mr.. Brush has the inten-
tons ascrbed TO him by Mr.. Burnham, then he
is neither friend OF the League. Association
or any other baseball organization. 1t Is to be
hoped. however, that there is misunderstood
