TOO MUCH BASE
Spaulding Again Prophesies the
Early Wreck Of the Players
League.
He Thinks q Rainy Day Would
Finish the Opposition
Organization.
Two of the Worst Games In tho History
Of the Sport Played Yesterday
at New York.

CHICAGO, May 23.-President Spalding, of
the Chicago National league club, expressed
himself on the base ball situation again
to- day to local paper. He dwelt on the
poor attendance at games so far and
could see no salvation for base ball ex-
cept the withdrawal of the Players league
from the field. The league, he says, is gong
to stick to the fight, uncompromising and
without quarter. If the Players league
lasts, he said, there will be % cents base
ball, Sunday games, beer in the grand
stand and the game will be ruined as
grand finale of the play. Spalding figures
that the average attendance at league games
SO far exceeds that of the brotherhood. He
predicts that if it should rain at
base ball points Decoration day, the Play
ers' league will have hard work pulling
through June, he figuring that the monied
men who went into the scheme without
knowing what they were backing will have
had enough sport to last them for life, un-
less they recover some losses on Decoration
day. Spalding thinks storm on the
Fourth of July would be disastrous. Should
it rain neither day and the attendance con-
tinue as at present, he predicts that the
Players league will never open the second
season.

DRUMMING SUBSCRIBERS.

Clarkson, at Government Expense, Acting
as Agent for Republican Newspapers.
Boston, May 23.-Prominent gentlemen
from all parts of the state were present in
large numbers this afternoon to meet First
Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson,
who was the guest of the Norfolk club.
Several speeches were made, among them
one by Mr.. Clarkson, who spoke entertain
ingly upon the southern question, civil
service reform and tariff. The speaker, re-
ferring to the south, said the nation is now
face to face with a duty, whether in its
sovereign power it shall allow Georgia,
South Carolina or any state to prevent
an American citizen from exercising his
constitutional right to vote. On the tariff,
the speaker said that the claim that the
northwest is for free trade is not true. In
the last republican national convention the
east said the west must stand stronger
protection plank. The west accepted it,
and the best protectionist in the United
States is the western, for free trade has
sought n,nbitionsly to set up it's empire in
the northwest, but it will fail. The western
man will resent the pity bestowed upon the
western farmer. He is passing through a
temporary depression and he will
come out of it by his strength and
wisdom. l have spoken of the past;
Let us turn to the future. believe it Is re-
publican, but the party of to-day is relying
on faith rather than works. The opposi-
ton takes on new form and power. It is
ceaseless in activity. Republicans every
