Walter spnIding Talks Hopefully About the
brotherhood and LeaRue.

Brotherhood and League.
Walter Spalding arrived in the city yester-
day from New York where he is now making
his home. Mr.. Spalding did not appear at all
disconnected about the Brotherhood, and said
that SO far as ne could see the League was in
no worse Hole at present than it had been on
several occasions in the past, when it came out
right side up with care"
"In New York. Boston, Brooklyn and Phila-
delphia," said Mr.. Spalding, sentiment appears
to be pretty evenly divided between the
Players and the National Leagues In Brook
lyn the League has a shade the best of it, while
in New York and Boston it's about stand-of.
Chicago? Oh, guess the League will be all
right here. To my mind Anson has got to-
gether a pretty fine lot of colts, and he has
turned out SONS fine teams from raw material
in the past. The fact that some people hold
the team cheaply rather pleases me. 1t always
takes a few weeks to get a club into playing
condition, and when an organization is lauded
TO the skies before the season opens the public
is liable to expect too much from 1t. and
weaken if it runs up against losing streak of
luck. ."-Chicdqo Times.

NEW ORLEANS, February 16-Muldoon,
Kilrain and party reached here tonight from
Texas. They we're recovered from the excite
ment which resulted from the killing of James
by Bezenah in Dallas, especially since they
have found that no legal proceedings are
likely to result from it. The party did well in
Texas, and say the Texans treated them splen-
didly.
Muldoon assumes all responsibility for the
James accident, as Kilrain did not approve of
this rougn fighting, but was overruled by him
and Cleary. He thinks that James was ex-
cited in the fight and became so exhausted, as
to succumb to very moderate punishment, as
he was not injured in the fighting. kilrain
thinks that James died in a fit.
Muldoon and Kilrain have consented to man
age the exhibition of the Southern Athletic
Club Monday. There will be three glove fights
-Kilrain and Corbett, Cleary and Smith, and
Bezenah and Charley johnson, who fought
Andy Bowen last Sunday.
