ESPECIAL TELEGRAM THE DIsPArcH.,
WASHINGTON, April l1.-As to the baseball
prospects of the coming season President
Young is very cautious in his predictions He
appreciates the fact that bitter fight between
the League and the Brotherhood has been de-
clared, and the competition between those two
organizations will be sharp and exciting. The
indications are that the expenses of maintain
ing the League will be heavier than heretofore.
while the receipts will be necessarily smaller,
because of the division of the business in
League cities where Brotherhood clubs are also
located. So far as the playing strength of the
League is concerned, Mr.. Young holds that
NewI ork, Boston Chicago and Philadelphia are
quite as strong as they were last year, although
all of these clubs have lost several star players
by Information of Brotherhood teams. In place
of the so-called stars the League has secured
some of the cream of the American Associa-
tion in addition to a number of Young and
ambitious players from minor leagues who
promise to develop into the equals il not the
superlors of some of the OLD timers who occupy
commanding positions in the Brotherhood
In securing BROOKLYN and Cincinnati in place
of Washington and Indianapolis, the League
strengthened its Eastern and Western circuit
and at the same time brought into the Leag ne
two of the best equipped teams in the country.
The transfer of the Indianapolis team to New
York City places Mr.. Day in a position TO
command the support OF the best element in
that city, and the attractions he offers are
equal to the Brotherhood combination in every
particular. Mr.. Young says he does not be-
heve Mr.. Day would take back any of the
deserters excepting Buck Ewing and Tim
keefe If the opportunity was presented. lie
reports that reach League headquarters from
Philadelphia and Cleveland show that the
League will hold its own in those cities in spite
of the Brotherhood opposition.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsP PArcHi
WASHINGTON. April ll-President Young
has made up his list Of assignments of umplres
for the opening series In the League, and the
members of the staff were accordingly notified
to-day. In the Western circuit McQuaId will
preside over the opening games at Cincinnati,
and Zacharias the latest addition to the staff,
will be the judge of play at Pittsburg. Lynch
will open up at New York and McDermott
makes his debut at Boston. In his distribution
of umpires, MIR. Young has evened up by Civ
ing the West one new and one old member of
the All, and the same course has been followed
in the East.
Lynch and McQ uaid are both well known and
deservedly popular by reason of their activity
and general ability in the most exact.
field. McDermost and Zacharias are unknown
quantities so far as the League is concerned
and their regulations are still to be made.
McDermott, who graduated from the 1nterna-
tional League, rs said to be a very good umpire,
and he was strongly recommended to MIR.
Young. Zacharlas was educated in the Penn
sylvania League where he was highly es-
teemed. He is now officiating in the practice
games at Pittsburg and Mr.. Nimick COM
mends him to the consideration of his League
colleagues. There will certainly be 'one and
probably two additional members of the staff
selected at an early day to meet any emergency
that may arise. 1t is not the intention of the
League to indulge in the double umpire system
except on extraordinary occasions, toward the
close of the season.
Among the most prominent aspirants for the
remaining positions on the staff are Phil Pow
ers, Daniels, George Strict and Mr.. Campbell
The selections will hardly be made prior to
the opening of the championship season, which
is scheduled for one week from next Saturday.

splendidly.

through carelessness. although at times he did
fine work. Lytle. who caught him, did good
work, and was complimented by Billy Sunday.
The Pittsburgs made a good impression. and

when he was in the act of catching a thrown
ball. For this he was sent out of the coacher's
box. The teams play again tomorrow.
