ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE
NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Nothing definite
has been heard of the captain of the Norton
and his non-capsizable, unsuitable Iifeboat
since she left New London, November. "a,
80 days ago. A rumor came from Gibraltar
that the vessel had passed there on her way
up the Mediterranean December IS. The
rnmor was telegraphed from London to this
city as a fact. 1t could not be traced to an
authentic source. The Murine Journal
says:
The trip was an experimental one made in
mIdwinter for the purpose of proving thar the
water ballast system, of which CAPTAIN Norton
was the inventor. when applied to any craft,
insured it against capsizing or sinking. We
fear one or the other of the two causes, which
the inventor claimed was impossible, has led TO
the loss of the F. l. Norton with all on board,
as nothing reliable has been heard from them
since their departure"
Besides Captain Norton and his wife and
niece, Miss Rickaby, there were aboard the
lifeboat Chief Engineer James Menedis, As
sistant, Engineer Arthur Mclean, Sailing
Master c. E. Carlson, Seaman John An
derson, Oscar Mileyar. Steward Joseph
Marcial, Cabin Boy John Roberts.

MAD IN CLEVELAND.

Getting Too Much.

The Forest City Cranks Think Pittsburg Is
Getting Too Much.
CLEVELAND, Feb. 1A-The Cleveland club
naturally objects because Pittsburg. which
WEIGHED in the 1890 fight. is receiving more con-
sideration from the League than Cleveland,
which more than fought its way along. Any
players wanted by Cleveland are found to have
a price upon their heads. Pat Tebeau has
begun to dicker over terms with Cleveland,
and has sent on his uniform measurements
He will captain the 1891 team. HIS price now
is very high. Beatin signed a Cleveland con-
tract to-day and leaves for Hot Springs to-
night.
The players sought by Cleveland now are
Crane, Buckley and Sharrott, of New York
Wilmot, of Chicago. and McGill, the left
handed pitcher. The latter is dickering over
terms. Wilmot is to be bought, and Crane
Sharrott and Buckley given. Mutrie interferes
on the two pitchers. Manager Leadley has Sc
cured the Jacksonville. Fla, grounds from
March 10. and is likely to share them with
either Louisville or Cincinnati. The trade with
the Boston Reds of Childs for Stricken and
Radford hangs fire, though the latter pair has
signed. Barnie is accused of interference,
wanting Childs himself. Frazer. of Syracuse,
who sold Childs to Boston. has been after but
cannot ind him, and the deal may cost Boston
more money to close.

Bury the Ratchet at New York.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1A-Early morning trains
landed three of New York's star ball players in
town yesterday. Roger Conner, James n
O'Rourke and Danny" Richardson came to-
Gotham to talk business with Messrs. Day and
Talcott relative to their signing League con-
tracts for 1891. All of these players were at
Mr.. Taleott's Office yesterday.
Jim" O'Rourke was the spokesman for the
trio. His sentiments are very manly and com.
mendable, and should be copied by every ball
player who has the success of the national
game at heart. He said:
Yes there must be harmony in the NewYork
team. The public really demands it. L don't
think there'll be any ill feeling between the old
Brotherhood men and those who remained
with the League. Every man is liable to make
mistakes. for which he should certainly be ex-
cused by his fellow men.
Personally have no feeling of enmity against
Glasscock and other League players. nor do 1
think the other Brotherhood players have. We
must all forget the past and pull together how
for the good of the game. l am already train
ing for the opening OF the season. and feel in
tiptop shape.
Yes. Ward will have a great team in Brook
Ign if he is allowed full control. The Brooklyns
will give us a hard fight. But If we play to-
gether / have no fear as to the final outcome of
he League race"

NEW YORK, Feb. A-Albert L. Johnson. the
Cleveland street railroad and baseball magnate,
reached town to-day. and will remain here for
a week. He is part owner of the Cincinnati
club, which the League magnates are irving to
freeze" out of their circuit. Mr.. johnson
says he Is waiting to see what the magnates
do in Chicago before instituting
legal proceedings for the protection
of. his property. "My offer to the League,
through John T. Brush, of indianapolis. winch
divided the club into equal shares between us,
was perfectly fair, and by it will stand or fall.
When the League rejects my offer 1 shall pro.
tect myself. Messrs. Stern and Sterne sold us
all the Cincinnati clubs franchises. Did we

Local Patrons Pleased,

Local baseball players were in great glee last
evening when they learned the Board of Con-
troll had decided that Mack and Bierbauer
must play in Pittsburg next season. At the
various resorts, where patrons of the local
game assemble, the decision was the absorbing
theme of conversation. The general opinion
was that there was no baseball law which could
deprive the local club of the services of the two
players; that is, lis tn opinion prevailed gener-
ally before the decision was rendered. Readers
of the papers will not be surprised at this de-
c1sion, because in these columns 1t has always
been maintained that both men were signed
legally, and much credit is due TO Messrs.
O'Neill and Hanlon for the work they have &C.
conplished.

a match for the two men to fight, but failed.

bet Reilly $50 on the result. Reilly replied
that this would not pay training expenses.
