WASHINGTON, May 6.-Concerning the
trouble between the California and Pacific
Northwest Base ball leagues, President
Nick Young said IL arose in this way: The
Northwest League paid the right of reserva-
tion under the national agreement, but
Tor some reason Secretary Phelps Of the
Arbitration Board failed to notify him,
consequently when California League
club made inquiry it was informed by
Young that the Northwest League bad no
right to reserve, but subsequently,, upon re-
ceiving word from Phelps. this statement
was corrected by Young, who sent list of
all the players reserved by the Northwest
League. For some reason this list failed to
reach It's destination.
About three days ago President Young
mailed another list as follows: Players
reserved by the Pacific Northwest League
for the season of 1891. who are ineligible,
unless released by the reserving club or
National Board to contract or play with any
other organizations: BY Portland-W. B.

Last night Young received the following
telegram from President None at San Fran
cisco: THE California League will 20
under Glass B of the national agreement"
to which the following answer was mailed:

League has decided 10 renew its membership

pleasure. he old National League Will tight

OF our great national game depends on our pre-
serving It's honor and Integrity. This can only

Association broke the agreement, which they
had signed and snlemny agreed TO abide by. for
she sole purpose Of getting possession OF leagas
territory III Cincinnati. Yours truly,
NICHOLAS YOUNG.
Secretary Young said tonight he had
every confidence in President None, who
would do what was right, and he was con-
fident that the difficulty would be amicably
settled. In reply to McClOskey's assertion
that the matter was mere "bluff or an
advertising dodge for Seattle or Tacoma,
Mr.. Young said 1t was matter of simple
justice that the Northwest League should
have the right TO reserve her players. This
would be insisted upon. Mr.. Young said
that the California League must give up
whatever Northwest reserved players that
the latter league desired, and that the Cali
fornia League would not desert the national
agreement, as Mone's telegram showed. He
received a telegram from Van Zant to-
night saying that he had been released by
Tacoma.
