spalding on the Baseball Situation.

gCHIcAGo, May 20. = President Spalding, of
the Chicago League club, expressed himself on
the baseball situation again to-day to local
paper. He dwelt upon the attendance at the
games so far, and sees no salvation for baseball
except the withdrawal of the PLAYERS league
He says he is going to stick to the fight uncom-
promlslngly and without quarter. If the Play
ers' league lasts, he said, there will be twenty-
five-cent baseball, Sunday games, beer in the
grand stand and the game Will be ruined, as a
grand finally of the play
Spalding figures that the average attendance
at the League games so far exceeds that of the
Brotherhood. He predicts that if it should rain
at baseball points Decoration day the PLAYERS
league will have hard work pulling through
June. He is figuring that the monied men who
went into the scheme without knowing what
they were backing, will have had enough snort
to last them for a lifetime unless they recover
some OF their losses on Decoration day Should
it not rain Decoration day, Spalding thinks a
storm on the Fourth of July would be disas
trous Should it rain neither day and the at
tendance continue as at present, he predicts the
Players league will never open a second sea-
son.

Bartine and NeMlands.

WASHINGTON, May 23-[Special telegram to
THE HERALD.i-- G. Newlands, formerly OF
California, but more recently of Nevada, has
apparently abandoned the hope of succeeding
John P. Jones in the United States Senate
The latest political gossip is that Mr.. Newlauds
will drop his ambition q notch and satisfy him
self with a modest seat in the House as Mr..
Bartine's successor. Mr.. Bartine, however Goes
not propose to be crowded to the rear even by
so great millionaire as the representative of
the Sharon estate and the probability is that a
pretty fight will result between the two tor the
nomination this summer
Mr.. Bartine, by the way, has made for new
member an excellent record. He is thoroughly
up on the silver question, and, in fact, on all
other questions appertaining to his locality He
is well regarded by his congressional associates
in both parties, and by such of these gentlemen
as are familiar with the scheme to set him aside
for a renegade Democrat, whose only recon-
mendation is large sized DOODLE" the wish is
generally expressed that he may defeat his enc
mics and thereby succeed himself.
