Fred denounced the League action in

Then followed a lively discussion, in
which Pfeffer maintained he was not bound
by any contract, and Hart held just as

that he could be enjoined from playing with

qucsttu W >tep DO"h anu out.
MILWAUKEE, WIS, Dec. AT meet
ing of the directors of the Milwaukee Base
ball Club last night President Harry Gil
lette was requested to resign the office,
which he did The trouble had been brew
ing for some time. A majority of the
directors have been set against Gillette for
the manner in which he handled the affairs
of the club and claimed that he was too
extravagant when he paid Sc, 600 for fran
chise in the American Association, as it was
well known that Milwaukee could have
gotten in free. The directors say they want
a man at the head of the club who has had
experience in such matters
1t is understood that President Gillette's
successor will be a very prominent brewer of
this city and who has plenty of capital.
Gillette announced to-day that he would re-
tire from baseball forever, and that all the
stock he holds in the Milwaukee club would
be disposed OF to his successor at 65 cents
on the dollar Mr.. Gillette was elected to
the presidency of the club last summer
after the resignation of William Furlong.
He made himself very popular shortly
afterward by engineering the deal whereby
Milwaukee was admitted TO the ranks of
the American Association.

Few Words on the Matter.
New YORK, Dec. 4.-[SpeciaL Person
ally Charles Luscomb, the representative Of
the L. A. w. on the committee appointed
by the Central Board of the A. A. U. to Sc
lect class of prizes to be awarded at ath-
letic and bicycle meets, says he is in favor
of cash prizes.
He believes that the word amateur" as
applied in many cases at present, is out OF
place, and suggests rather novel way out
Of the difficulty. He suggests that the
League and A. A. z. form two classes, Civ
ing cash prizes to one class of men and med
ais and certificates to another.
''As the matter now stands" said Mr..
Luscomb yesterday, ''the League gives
prizes of pianos, wash bills and other
things which no man who is an amateur
should compete for. In my opinion racing
men would much rather ride for money than
any other prize
From my experience in League racing 1
shall strongly advocate the class system.
The League of course, will mold strict iuris-
tion over the class as well as the amateur
class. have no doubt that this will be
the final Judgment reached not only by the
League bu. by the Amateur Athletic
Union"

THE SECRET OF ABSINTHE.
Wormwood Is the Chief Constituent ant
Bad Alcohol Goes In.

Bad Alcohol Goes In.
San Francisco Chronicle.1
Absinthe is made of wormwood. with the
addition of other aromatic herbs that give
the green color and render the taste more
agreeable. When it is distilled with care
(says a special plea by the distillers) and
consumed in reasonable quantities it is a
beverage tonic and refreshing. But too
much of it should not be taken, even when
it is good, for it contains a high percentage
of alcohol.
Many distillers simply macerate the
wormwood and other herbs and steep them
in cold alcohol made of beets or of grain, by
which means the poisonous oils are ex-
tracted from the herbs These poisonous
qualities and the bad alcohols necessarily
have bad effect and produce that rapid
and dangerous state of intoxication that
drinkers of absinthe have often noticed in
regard to themselves A beverage that
operates on the nerves in such manner as
to produce instantaneous intoxication must
necessarily be dangerous, first to the health,
and ultimately to the reason.
