IF the old League should leave PittsburR many
people who are now indifferent about the matter
might feel the loss OF the club more than they
imagine. The old club has been one of Pitts
burgs institutions for several years and the
stockholders of the club have spent their money
freely in their efforts to get winning club. No
one can deny this. no matter what their SYM
pathies may be.
A DISP TCH from Chicago says: Notwithstand-
ing the report sent out from Pittsburg that the
L ague club there would 20 through the season,
1t is known that within the next few days the
club must either sell out or go to tue wall Ihave
authentic information that the club is in bad
shape. The players salaries have not been paid
for some time, and the club has been endeavoring
TO negotiate a loan. The rent for the park is due
for nine months. Director J. Palmer O'NeiI
says that the foregoing is a malicious exaggera-
ton. There is plenty of money to pay the players
for the whole season, but no checks are sent
abroad.

spALD1NGs OPINION.
He says One of the Leagues Must be
Killed.

NEW YORK, May s.-President A. G.. Spalding,
of the Chicago National League Baseball Club,
talked with reporter this morning. In regard to
the baseball situation and the signs he read in the
sky. Mr.. Spalding said:
''Some League or sother must go to the wall;
they cannot go as they are now doing, each
cutting the others throat. The public is over
dosed with baseball, or rather with the fight for
patronage between the two League clubs. In
view of the past history Of their players the
Brotherhood clubs should draw far better
than they do, for they contain many
of the who were most popular
with the crowds in days gone by. On the part of
the National League freely confess that, we are
not drawing satisfactory crowds. If there were
not element of antagonism manifest. between
the two Leagues both might, perhaps. prosper.
There are enough people interested in the great
national game to support both organizations.
LAS the situation stands however. there is no
money in it for anybody. The two opposing
Leagues are wagiug war of determination. It
cannot last. One or the other must giyeaway."

to this city from East Liverpool, O., by De-
tective Carrigan on warrant sworn out by
Miss Asia L. Higgs, the Enterprise editress,
charging him with larceny, was given a
hearing yesterday afternoon before Magis-
trate Succop. Cradle was represented BY
James Wakefield. When the time Tor the
hearing had arrived Miss Higgs was pres

against her former business partner. She
said in explanation that there was strong
probability that a mistake had been COM
mitted, and she did not want to take up the
role of a prosecutor.
Magistrate Succop expressed some i'm
patience, and insisted that Miss Higgs pro-
duce her evidence if she had any. A ter
considerable talk she concluded to testi ",
and told rambling story O. her trunk hav-
ing been robbed OF some money and silver
knives, forks, etc., but said that she had no
knowledge that Cradle had taken any OF it.
Miss Higgs admitted on cross-examination
that the money and silverware alleged to
have been taken was the property-of the
firm, and that Cradle had only taken hall,
or his own share. Thsre was no other testi-
mony and Magistrate Succop discharged

our deals, that we will get our money when
the deals are closed. As it stands at present
we feel considerable apprehension for the
