A Certain Difficulty.

During the weeks negotiations and talk Mr..
Spalding has carefully avoided saying anything
definite as TO the disposition of players when
the business matters are fixed up. Let US deaf
with one thing at once I" is Mr.. Spalding's motto,
and in this instance it is a very wise one. His
way of doing things is quite diplomatic and
worthy of frst-class National Chairman of
one OF the big political parties. Mr.. Spalding,
doubtless, sees trouble ahead in settling this
question of the disposition of players and he
very shrewdly goes 10 work and gets every
thing nicely fixed Up right to that point This
very fact, the TACT of work ACCOMPLISHED and
so satisfactorily accomplished toward a pern,a-
neut settlement will certainly have a potent in.
nuence on those WHO are little obstinate nm
the players question. But there ought not TO
be any trouble in the matter For the life of
me cannot see what right either President
Prince or Mr.. Wagner has to any PLAYERS thev
pGlered from the National League, and if these
gentlemen were only allowed to retain one
player each from their =. L. aggregations they
are securing so much more than they have
any legal claim to. To say the least OF ii, the
claim of President Prince in demanding the
right 10 retain all of his old players in Boston is
preposterous. Besides Mr.. Prince and every
body else on his side of the fence ought to re-
member that what the National League is
doing now is being done through generosity
and spirit OF fair play. Suppose that the old
organization should still stand on its dignity
and DEFY to the last its opponents, in other

should be the National League policy, where

sociates be? They would have as much chance

many hungry tramps. These facts ouCht GER

McLean's Defeat of Kemp.

ainly definitely settled now and the hol
Tobn Mclean who in rapid succession

The title of champion sculler of the world Is
certainly definitely settled now and the holder
is John Mclean who in rapid succession has
defeated both Stansbury and Kemp. The
latter we told is SO satisfied with his defeat
that he has relnquIshed all notion of coming
to America to row O'Connor and has, therefore
forfeited his deposit Stansbury and Kemp
both being in one stable we may take it for
granted that they and their hackers are quite
satisfied that Mclean is the best rover in
Australia. The new champion, like John
Higgins, of Shadwell. is late i'll life in coming
to the front. He is in his 3lst year and il l
remember right, Higgins was about the same
age when he appeared as champion. l must
give Ned Hanlan credit for the persistent
way in which he has for two years stuck
to Mclean. Readers of this paper will
remember of an interview with Hanlan that
was published in this paper when he and Hos
mer were here with the "A Dark Secret Com
pany. On that occasion Hanlan told me that
Mclean would certainly prove himself to be
the best rover in the world, and such has
turned out to be the case. If mistake not
Hanlan, while in Australia, gave him his first
lessons in sculling. Well after sizing the sltu-
alton up see no hope OF any of our champions
winning the title in Australia. Taking
lengths inferior TO Mclean on Aus
traIian waters. Stansbury had little
difficulty in defeating the Canadian, and Nc
Lean easily defeated Stansbury. We may take
it for granted that Peter Kemp was rowing
better than Stansbury or else he would not
have been matched to row Mclean. The lat
fer has also beaten Kemp easily. and this line
of comparison shows O'Connor to be vastly in
ferior to Mclean. 1t shows this fact so clearly
that think Teemer or Gaudaur would have no
chance at all to defeat Mclean on an Australian
course. 1t might be different on American
waters, and will not be surprised if our scull-
ers make strong efforts to induce Mclean to
come to the United States and T Ow on a lake
course. PRINGLE.

Jack McAuliffe and Bowen.


IL all reports are true there is strong prob
ability of a battle between Andy Bowen and
Jack McAulIffe in the near future. The direc-
tors OF the Puritan Club are disposed to offer

and Bowen would be exceedingly interesting,
and should they meet, l venture to say that

to win. But would much prefer to see an
other battle between Carroll and McAulitfe.
There Is, and always will be, unless they fight
again, a great diversity of opinion regarding
the comparative merits of these two men. We
all know that McAulitfe was extremely lucky
to defeat Carroll, and that means that large
number of people deem Carroll the better

Jack Burke and Pritchard.

In my way of thinking one of the most inter-
esting matches that has been made among
pugilists for very long time is that between
Jack Burke and Ted Pritchard for the middle
weight championship of England. Both men
have proven themselves to be first rate men in
their class. OF course Burke has suffered de-
feat frequently but it has been when contest
ing against men who were much bigger than
himself. And even when facing the best kind
of heavy-weights be had often done remarka-
bly, well. When he fought draw with Mitch
ell in their bare-knuckle fight he proved him
self good man. Pritchard has won all of his
victories in frst-class style and he is without
doubt the best middle-weight in England to-
day excepting Burke. who SO far has not
figured as middle-weight fighter.
It is natural to- suppose that

self than against men like Slavin and Sullivan.
whom he has already met. 1t is also a fact that
in Burke, Prltchard will meet a more accom-
plished pugilist than he has yet faced, and am
inclined to think that Pri;chard will meet his
Waterloo. But it is much too soon to make
any predictions yet, as it will be about three
months before they fight. L am aware that
such good English authorities as Tom Symonds
thinks that Pritchard is a wonder, and some
very shrewd men are behind him. They have
known Burke for very long time and have
good idea as to his pugilistic abilities. Butitis
likely that they will find great difference in
Burke when he gets in front of a man little
below his own weight. If Burke gets down to

harder task in hand than he anticipates. Now,
that the match is made between them, we
abandon all hope of having either Burke or
Prtchard before next April. 1t is understood
that the winner will fight the champion middle
weight of America, and it is difficult to tell
who that Will be. l am bound to repeat that 1t
would be unfair of anybody rigidly claiming
the middle-weight championship of this coun-
try without first giving Jack Fogarty try. He
has hackers who deem him the superior of any
American middle-weight. OF course, Fitzsim-
mons may be a phenomenon, but we'll find
that out before next month comes and goes.

The General Situation.

Baseball matters generally speaking are
nearing an end; that is the troublesome mat
tiers are one by one disappearing. The remains
of the P. L. have not all been buried yet and
it may be some time before that work is COM
pletely accomplished. 1t is not difficult to see
how The situation will be if present plans are
carried out. As stated several times in this
paper there will be an Association club in Bos-
ton and another in Chicago. The opposition to
such move is becoming less in Boston, thanks
to air. Spalding. He has during the week
been asserting his influence over the triumvirs,
and as result these very mighty people are
not so strong IN their opposition to the placing
of an Association club in Boston as
they were. Certainly il would be better
IL they would bring themselves down
TO the endorsement of the proposed plans but
II they won't, there is way to make them. Ar
rangementS that are more or less suitable to the
entire baseball world cannot be changed to suit
the caprice of SOden & Co. They have had
good thing" IN the past, and they are due to
put up with difficulty two the same as any,
body else. But rigld secrecy is maintained by
hlr. Spaldlng regarding what his definite plans
are. lie has. during the last few DAYS, merely
declared himself in generalitieS, and, although
he states that all will come out right, will not
be surprised If a serious hitch or two occurs be-
fore the trouble is entirely settled.
The Association through Mr.. Thurman
Is fast getting its affairs into shape. Syracuse
has been appeased, and doubtless Rochester
and Toledo will be induced to entirely retro
from the Association within few days. Then
according to the published plan Boston, Phila-
delphla and Chicago Will be admitted. Of
course am not in a position to say that these
three cities Will not each have an Association
club. but cannot help thinking that Mr.. Brush
may loom up somewhere between now and next
spring.

into the interior OF Alaska, beyond che
Mount St. Elias range, through the
Chilcat Pass, the only route yet
known to Americans. The party
pushed on through glaciers and ice
fields for fully fifty miles, and then,
according 10 this Individuals ac-

green and fertile region, where
rich meadows stretched away as far
a. the eye could see. After travel
ing long way through this pleasant
country the Yukon river was reached,
