A TALK WITH SPALDING.
The Chicago Magnnre Says That Both
Parties Will Lose,

CHICAGO March l2.-President A. G. Spald-
ing, of the Chicago League Baseball Club, was
interviewed to-day in regard to The conflicting
dates in the League and Players schedules:
'Now that the Brotherhood has unmasked its
plan of action, what course has the National
League decided upon in regard to dates of
Cames?" Mr. Spaldiag was asked.
"Oh the National League is not going to
make any alterations in Its schedule on account
of the Players League. We came out openly
and issued our schedule first. The Brother
hood people must take the onus of making
these conflicting dates"
"Do you think that if both clubs play in one
place on the same day there will be enough
patronage for both teams?"
No, sir, don't"
"But steps will not be taken to alter your
schedule?"
None whatever. We will play and pocket
our losses, so to speak. The Brotherhood teams
will suffer more than we will, however"
How about dropping two clubs and reissuing
a new eIght-club schedule. which will not
abound with conflicting dates?"
"Of course, It is, as has already been init
mated, the hope of most of the League men
that Indianapolis and Washi gton will drop
out but that will not be forced upon those
clubs. II they should drop out our schedule
would necessarily have to be revised, with as
few conflicting dates as possible"

MYSTERIOUS Mr.. BRUSH.
An Interesting Uncertainty About the
Hoosier Presidents Movements,

President Brush, of the indianapolis club, is
apparently moving about the country in a mys-
terious way. He left indianapolis late Monday
evening, and it was runored yesterday that he
was in this city, He could not be found, how
ever.
Secretary Scandrett when spoken to about
the matter, said that he had not seen President
Brush and did not think he was in the city.
Manager Hecker was also ignorant of Mr.
Brush's whereabouts. President Nimick
couldn't be seen, neither during the afternoon
nor last evening. His movements were almost
as mysterious as those of President Brush.
The local president could not be found at his
residence last evening and during the after
noon he was not at his place of business.
Several persons who claim to know President
Brush say they saw him on the street yester-
day. If he is in the city no one seems to be
able to tell what his mission is. One rumor is
to the effect that he is here on pleasure trip
Certainly he is not here on any such business as
trying to effect a consolidation of the local and
Cleveland clubs. There are efforts, however
being made to have the League reduced to an
eight-club organization.

TRENTON, n. j., March l2-The bill to kill
the winter race tracks IN New Jersey by per-
mitting racing for only thirty days in the year
on any course came up for final passage IN the
House this afternoon and created a spirited de-
bate. Kalisch, the introducer OF the measure,
made a long and effective speech for it. deny
ing that the act would In any way legalize gamb-
ling. The frequenters of the winter courses
were of the lowest types of humanity. he held,
but the laws prohibiting gambling upon them
could not be enforced. owing to the grip that
the associations had upon the officials of the
counties in which they are located. The tracks
that were maintained IN winter, he added were
run solely for the purpose of gambling.
The sentiment of the State is against this
kind of sport. At some of these tracks ls-year-
old horses were run as 2-year-olds, form OF
cruelty that should be abolished without delay.

New League Delegates Return md Talk
About Dunlnp's Case.
Manager Hanlon, Secretary Tener, Director
Lemon, Fred Carroll and John Wamser re-
turned from Cleveland yesterday morning
Speaking of the new League meeting Manager
HanIon said it was great success.
1t was learned from the delegation that Dun
lap has been given his unconditional release;
that is he can join any club in any League
This has not caused much surprise as it has
been known for some time that his salary was a
little too much for any of the new clubs to pay
for his services His friends, however, claim
that the new League ought to keep him for
the season at his last years salary. Ad. Gum
bert argued in favor of the point very strongly
yesterday. Gumbert contends that as matter
of principle the Brotherhood Clubs have
right TO keep Dunlap this year and pay him
the same amount of salary that he received last
year
