THE REASON WHY.

Cleveland People. |

Gus schmelz's Policy Did Not Suit the
Cleveland People.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
CLEVELAND, July 26-Secretary Hawley, of
the Cleveland National League club, was
asked to-day the reason of Gus Schmelz's re-
tlrement as manager of that organization. He
said:
ut was purely and simply the result of dis
agreement between the directors of the club
and Mr.. schmelz regarding the policy
of the management. While we do not
claim to have a perfect team by any
means we do think that we have a club
which should make better showing than it
has been doing for the past month. When the
season began the Cleveland League club was
playing better ball than it is now. That is not
right. There should be improvement instead of
the reverse. We are aware of the fact that
certain Brotherhood men have been tampering
with our men. Manager Schmelz seemed to
be worried and lost his head, as they say when
a ball PLAYER makes a bad play. Personally,
there was never a man in charge of the Cleve-
land club that we have placed more confidence
in and respect more than Gus Schmelz. We
would gladly retain him in the position of
manager, but 1t is to the best interest of the
club that we make change. Perhaps new
blood in the management will result In better
work by our men. AT least we feel that we
owe it to ourselves and the public to endeayor
TO help in the winning of games"

AVERY queer story started in Chicago, to the
effect that Captain Kelly offered Captain Anson
$780, 600 to join the Players League; Anson, It is
Chicago National League Club, but he owns a
good slice of stock in that organization.
Tom BURNS says Anson rarely ever asks man
to do what he will not do himself. While down
south early in the season he had the colts out on
the field each morning from 10 to II O'Clock. They

For indomitabe pluck and earnest work no
team in either League can compare with Captain
Wards Brooklyn Club. At the beginning OF the
season tine players were called lob lots. y and
other pet names. To-day they stand second In the
Players, League race. and have won game after
game which other teams would have abandoned
in despair.
JACK, ROWE, the deposed manager Of the
Buffaios, accounts for the poor showing Of his
team In these words: ''We were practically with
out pitchers, ana It was only on days when Had
dock went in to pitch had the least ghost Of a
show Buckley whom we picked up at Boston,
pitched good game then and we won. In Phila-
delphia ne nut up another excellent game, but the
men couldil,t hit at the right time and we lost
when we should have won. Then White was hit

games. With poor pitching and the team changed
about considerable, it is wonder that we won
game.n

MISCELLANEOUS SPORTS.
GAUDAUR WON THE RACE.
John Teemer was Second in the Duluth
scull Contest.


scull Contest.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH1
DULUTH, July 26 6-There never was grander
boat race than the single scull contest at 5
O'Clock this afternoon between the world re-
nowned professionals. Gaudaur. Teemer, Hos
mer, Hanlan, Wise. Teneyck, Hamm and Nc
Kay. Ten thousand people shouted them
selves hoarse when the aquatic kings rowed
lelsurely down the course to the starting point.
The eight boats started exactly together as
II parts of some great machine. "Gaudaur
leads at the quarter" was the cry carried down
the line of 10000 excited men and women as
the big fellow swung away at 80 stroke.
Teemer was second and Hosmer third, with
Hanlon next. The others were strung out.
McKay's boat struck a log and sank.
Gaudaur was the first to reach the mile and
half buoy, two lengths ahead of Teemer. The
others coming along in the same order as at
the quarter. Coming home Gaudaur increased
his lead to 20 lengths and Hosmer was but two
lengths behind Teemer. Gaudaur shot across
the finish line in 1881. Teemer's time was
20:05h and Hosmer's POPS. The purses were
l.750, $500 and $500.
In turning his buoy Hanlon found he had
bent his she'll and was prevented from continu-
ing. On reaching the dock he openly challenged
Gaudaur for a race over the same course in six
weeks for s., 900 side. Gaudaur accepted.
Teemer also says he is going into training TOR a
race with Gaudaur..
Over $4,000 changed hands on to-day's great
event,

CONGRESSIONAL DEBATE.
If if IL Worth While at All it Is Because IL
May Change Opinion.


If it is Worth While at All it is Because ir
May Change Opinion.
Harper's Weekly
As the legitimate object of debate is per-
suasion, debate implies, necessarily, pos
sible change Of opinion, consequently the
majority of to-day upon any important
question of expediency cannot be sure that
it will be the majority of tomorrow. A
Representative may be Republican in the
sense of conviction of the soundness Of the
protective principle. But it does not fol-
low that he must therefore approve every
scheme of high protective tariff. Whether
he be a Republican or not, he will
favor free and fair elections.
But it does not follow, by any
means, that he nust therefore approve
every plan that may be proposed to secure
such elections. The question of the pend
ing election bill is one OF expediency. The
object of debate in the Senate is to prove or
disprove the wisdom of the bill, and, with
some members, its constitutionality. But
it cannot fairly be assumed that those who
desire some expedient must necessarily pre-
fer the one offered by the bill, or that, be-
cause of their desire of some expedient,
they may claim the rights OF a majority for
this particular scheme.
When the actual majority have inform
ally adopted this bill as their preference
they are still morally bound, from its pc
culiar character and the profound feeling
with which it is regarded, to permit the ut
most latitude of debate, in order to give
themselves the opportunity of weighing all
views and modifying their own. If debate
is worth while at all it is only because it
may change opinion. To close debate ar
bitrarily, therefore, may prevent change
of opinion which would change the ma
jority. This is not plea for endless talk,
but for the most reasonable exercise of an
enormous and vital parliamentary power.

Two Questions to be Answered by Base.
ball Presidents.

Two Questions to be Answered by Bnse-
ball Presidents.
The New York World has telegraphed the
different Presidents of the Players and
National League teams, asking the following
questions in the interest of baseball:
"First-Would you agree to compromise
which had for its basis the surrender of the
names of cities by the Players League clubs in
return for change of playing dates by the
National League clubs, with an agreement to
respect contract rights and exchange games at
the end of the season? Second-1f not, is
there any basis upon which you would agree to
compromise. and if so, what is it?''
Mr.. Kerr, of the local Players League team,
said he was still in favor of a non-conficting
schedule, but had nothing TO say regarding the
other part of the communication. The local
National League team replied to the World
as follows:
THE Pittsburg National League club does not
understand that the Players League have sub
mitted any compromise. We agree with the
World that the baseball business has been
greatly injured by the players revolt Our club
would not stand in the way of beneficial
solution of the trouble"

pick 1t up. 1t was a clear white stone, the
size of an egg, rejecting in one way ali the
colors of the rainbow. Turning it over the
colors took on the character of spirit level,
following each other up through the center
of the rock till all were gathered in one end.

but refused it. He will take it to Atlanta

A Proposed Stake Race for Stallion Fonls Of

The Honor Role.

--Tae Honor Role.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.i
LEXINGTON, KY, July 26.-The Directors OF
the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders Asso-
citation met here to-day and decided to offer
stallion representative stake for foals of $780,
to be trotted at Lexington in 1893, worth not
less than $40 CU0 to winner. They also decided
upon futurity stake for foals of 1891 to; be
trotted either in 1898 or 1894, guaranteed to be
worth $4,000. This will be the largest guaran-
teed stake ever given. The association is de-
termined to make it possible for good trotter
to earn as much money as a good runner,
and if the present stakes are successful they
will open still larger ones next year.
Ed A. Tiptor, of this city, has secured a ten
days' option on Smith McCann's halt interest
in the trotting stallion Red Wilkes at $4,000.
W. C. France who is now at Saratoga, will
probably buy this interest as be owns the
other half. If France does not take 1t, the
horse will probably go to syndicate. Nc
Cam is anxious to SELL as he has been at law SO
much about the horse he wishes to be rid of
him. .----
This city has become noted for the number
of her professional men that have a weakness
for trotters. One of our dentists (now dead)
is noted for having bred one of the greatest
brood mares Kentucky ever produced; another
of our dentists is not only an adm1rer OF the
trotter but is breeder as well; three OF our
prominent physicians are owners and breeders
of trolters; one of our preachers runs an ex-
cellent stock farm, on which the trotter stands
pre-eminent; one OF our college professors has
already bred several good ones; our noted
temperance lecturer, the most renowned the
State has ever produced. breeds trotters on an
extensive scale; several of our lawyers and
statesmen breed trotters, and quite number
of our bankers are interested in the success
and propagation of this valuable animal.
