League Men Accused of Even Now Tam
pering With Contracted Players.
1t transpires now. writes Tim New
man in the last number of Sporting
Life. that the National League is now
on a new tack in it's efforts to break up
the Players Les 'ue. This latest bomb
is the meanrSt OF all, as it is nothing
more or less than concerted attempt to
tampcr with the players of the Players
League, and to induce them to jump
their contracts even during the playing
season. In other words, they are emu
lating the dirty tactics of the Union As
ISOLATION in 1884.
This is no vague charge, but one that
can be proven. Here are the facts:
Meet me at youngstown, O., tomorrow
and bring blank with you," was the tel
egraphic message one of the members
of the Boston Players team received
Saturday from Captain Arson.
"Blank" was meant for one of the
New York 'Giants."
League men had called on these play
ers, offering big sum If they would
jump their contracts.
The Boston man sent word to AnsoI
that it would be impossible to meet him
anu bne Sn1CagO man remained at nome
There is but little doubt that John b
Day has been tampering with one of the
Giants.
If these two players could be bough
of Messrs, Spalding and Day have al
idea it would cause a big row in the new
League.
There are one"er two more players il
the other teams who have been ap
preached, but the men behind tn,
Brotherhood clubs are we'll informed OF
every move and have the players vel
covered who Mo uld take q chance.

Vegetable Courtship.
A potato went out on a mash,

A potato went out on a mash,
And sought an onion bed;
That's pie for me-" observed the
squash,
And all the beets turned red;
go away" the onion weeping cried,
Your love cannot be:
The pumpkin is your lawful bride,
You cantaloupe with me"
But onward still the tuber came,
And laid down at her feet;
You caulifiower by any nsme
And il will smell as wheat;
And |, too, a. an early rose,
And sou I've come TO see,
So dor't turnip your lovely nose,
but spinach at with me-"
"Ah, spare me a cress," the tuber
prayed;
MY cherrY-ished bride you'll be-
You are the only weeping maid
That's currant now with me.
And as the willy tuber spoke
He graspcd the bashful prize,
And giving her an artichoke,
Devoured her with his eyes.

Senator Vance.

WASHINGTON. August Ex-senator
Vance yesterday afternoon spoke of
the canning business as the largest
industry In the United States, and as
being increased daily among the PEG
pie, as the Farmers Alliances were
encouraging the establishment of
small canneries wherever the situa-
tion and surroundings and farm pro-
ducts were favorable. The United
States was the largest consumer Of tin
plate in the world-the quantity i'm
parted last year having been $50, 900
tons. And yet, instead of a reduction
Of duty on tin plates, the duty was
to be increased from one cent to
2 2.I0 cents a pound. That would
make an annual tax on the people
of the United States S15, 000,0 900.
II it took five years to establish the
business in the United States, that
would amount to a tax of s75,000,~
900. He submitted that the tin
baby was not worth SO much. 1t was
too much to pay for little tin god
on wheels. Ifthe Pittsburg tin plate
trust could not be satisfied in any
other way, and il Mr.. Aldrich would
bring in bill 10 pay it members q
reasonable pension, he would promise
to vote for it.
