THE AMATEUR LEAGUE.


Professional Ball Players Will Respect
the Youngsters.
1t now seems assured that the Puget
Sound Amateur League, which has for
some time been in the course of organize
ton, will open the season with clubs in
Seattle, Port Townsend, Tacoma and Bel
bingham Bay. These four cities can easily
support strong amateur teams, as they
have an abundance Of excellent home tai
ent, including several ex-professionals,
who have made good records
Manager Sears, Of the local club, IS con-
fident that all of the teams will last the
season through. and will furnish evidence
to the people of Washington that this state
can furnish as good young blood as can
some of the older states. He had the fol-
lowing to say to Posr-ISrELLrGEScER re-
porter concerning the outlook:

material and we expect to be in the lead at
the close Of the season. In Rappold am

no chance last season by the Seattle club
to show what was in him, but think he
can make some of the catchers in the Pa

Port Townsend is sure to be success
under the management of Charles Lang,
who has been at the head of strong club
there for the past two seasons. The Ia
coma club will be called the Chicago Shoe

TACOMA. March Especial. IA curious
stew Is simmering over a big bundle of
fagots, in the moral pot of this town. This
curious stew is made up Of the Anti-Sun-
day Saloon Association, the big four
gambling combine and the secret matri-
monial bureau
Backed by the Ministerial Alliance, the
anti-Sunday saloon phalanx is moving
with much strategy upon violators of or
dinances forbidding gambling and forget
fulness about locking front and back doors
OF saloons on Sunday. and the police force,
under brand new chief, is laying pipe to
wind-up the secret matchmaking bureau
for failure to pay debts contracted. and
conducting shady business in a field
heretofore monopoIized by Cupid.
Spice is added to the mixture in the
shape of an aggressive dash by the recalci-
trant contingent that would like to open
up game but cannot, owing to the way
the big four occupy and fill that field.
For several days the Erp brothers. we'll
known sporting men, formerly of Arizona,
have been in the city. having come here
with the intention. ii is said, of opening a
gambling house. They met with disap-
pointment, the understanding being that
the police would permit only four games
to run yearly in the city, albeit several
good-sized stud-poker outfits move on the
quiet.
Acting upon the policy of the late Harry
Morgan, the managers of the gambling
interests of the city desire to continue in
minimum amount of business and not put
the people on the aggressive by any Iia-
grant offense against justice and the city
ordinances. To this end the big four have
regulated limited business without mo-
lestation. But the cupidity of the contin-

proceedings, the former demanding free
for all policy or none at all, the latter in
sisting upon the enforcing of ordinances
prohibiting gambling
Heretofore the responsibility for the en-
forcement of Sunday laws and gambling
ordinances has been a sort of boating
island. the responsibility shifting from the
shoulders of the county I'd the backs of
the municipal authorities from time to

ends of the horn, and are crowding the
issue accordingly. The association also

Corinne In Carmen"


1t is question if there is more popular
artistic on the American stage today than
the peerless Corinne, who will appear at
Seattle opera-house tonight. She is fav-
Orlte wherever she goes. In the produc-

Besides, she is surrounded in magnifi-
cent manner.

has heretofore consisted of about forty peo-
pie, now numbers sixty, and is the largest
burlesque organization in existence. They
are the only company in America TODAY
that travel in their own special train.
None of the former productions are pre-
scented this season. Carmen" is played
exclusively.
The piece is spectacular comic opera
burlesque in three acts, and is said to be q
good one, Astounding in scenes which can
not tail TO be amusing, aud in situations
so ridiculous as to provoke mirth.
The central figure will be Corinne, who
has achieved a reputation in the portrayal
OF the title role, or rather that of Carmen
clta. Her limitations of the celebrated
Spanish danseuse are said to be verv
clever.
Inc piece offers opportunities for ex-
hibiting the graceful Spanish dances. and
Corlnne makes the most of them.
The opera will be handsomely mounted.

sons, all of whom appear on the stage
at one time during many of the scenes.

A gang Of slick swindlers was exposed

this man arrived here from Chicago In
search of home and prospects to invest
in property. Desiring to purchase some

banker and would gladly show him around.
The stranger was taken up to room 226

on which were piled several railroad maps
and folders. The man who had steered

his ticket had won 500, but on being re-

table said he could not cash it until the
afternoon, but that perhaps his friend

MEETING OF THE LEAGUE.


Stolen Players.
An important meeting of the Pacific
Northwest League will convene at Port
land today. The prime object for which
the meeting was called was to make out a
schedule of games after hearing the report
of the schedule committee. which consists
of a director from each club. Each mem
Der of the committee will, of course. look
after the best interests of his own club.
and this being the case. the rich plums
will probably be more evenly distributed
than they were last season. Seattle and
Portland arc promised the opening games
and the Fourth of July. while Tacoma
and Spokane Falls are 10 have Decoration
day and Labor day.
Another matter of more weight at pres
ent than the making out of schedule will,
however. occupy the attention and best
thought of the meeting. This will be the
dispute with the California League over
their signing OF Huston. PEBBLES and other
players reserved by the clubs of the Pacific
Northwest League. The decision of this
meeting will undoubtedly be TO Law the
case before the national board of control
for immediate adjudication.
Our neighhors 20 the south seem 10 base
their claim 10 the men upon the fact that
they have been asked to return 10 their
former employers at lower figures than
they were paid last year, and that this
operates as release. 1t is an open secret
that the 800 salary limit was violated in
the Pacific Northwest League last season.
but that is certainly no reason for repeti-
ton OF its violation this year.
The dispute, however. does not hinge
upon this point. Whatever there might
be IN baseball law upon which the Califor-
mans could rightfully lay claim 10 the
players, was In force under the old national
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-03-09

agreement, which has passed away. Units
place the major leagues have bound them
selves as principal parties to q new conn
bact, and the minor league clubs, that paid
Tor protection under the old agreement,
are entitled to a continuance of that pro-
year from the date on which It was &C.
cured. The Pacific Northwest League then
has the right to be protected in the hold
ing of its reserved players until April 1,
The new law, in its bearing upon the
disputed question, differs materially from
the old. In section VII, article j, the text
of the agreement reads:
a nsyer se o.
serving club has failed 70 tender 20 any player,
on or before the 18th day Of March after such
Al least such An amount per month a. the board
may fix a. the minimum salary to b paid to
such player.
As matter of fact contracts have been
presented to each of the men sought after
by the California clubs. with the offer of
salaries conforming to the limit fixed upon
in this league. As yet the board has had
whether they are sufficient compensation
for the players services.
Even should it he decided that the wages
offered are not large enough, there is still
another clause Of the agreement to be con-
sidered. In article /, Of section VII, it APP
pears that with the boards permission, the
clubs of one association may negotiate with
the players of an association Of lower
class. and may secure the release of any
player under contract or reservation by
any clubs Of the latter, upon pay
ment to it of sum to be fixed by
the board of control at the time Of the clas-
siiication of the various minor leagues.
The PLAYER must give his consent to the
transfer, and must receive an increased
salary. 1t is not at all probable the Cali
fornia clubs have secured the permission
of the board to negotiate with the players,
and not having observed this prerequisite,
their dealings with these men can be of no
force.
1t would seem that it will be the plain
duty of the board to return these players
to the Pacific Northwest League 1t may
go further. however, and proclaim the
right of the California League or any other
league of higher class, to negotiate for
their release in proper manner.
The solution of the situation in brief
seems to be this: By proper procedure the
California League can secure the players
they are after by purchasing their releases
of the clubs by whom they are reserved,
and by paying them better wages than
they could get by staying where they are
now held

THE NATIONAL GAME.
Abner Powell Is Picking Up
Pennant Winners.
HIS OWN SPLENDID RECORD.
New e Contrasts with That Of Bsrnes-
Meeting Of the Lesgue-The
Ansteurs-Notes.

The patrons and hackers Of baseball in
Battle may reasonably look forward to .
successful season in every sense OF the
word. In the matter of finances, con-
scrvative and well-informed men estimate
that at the end of the season the local
association will pay dividend on its
stock. There is steady sale Of the 3d. 600
81 stock that was placed on the market,
and the purchasers are, without exception,
reliable business men.
The article of bali that is to be furnished
TO Seattle audiences promises to be Of
high order. II is universally admitted
that Manager Powell has few equals in the
selection of players, and he reports cT
couraging progress in the gathering OF his
team. He has already secured number
Of good men and is negotiating with sew
efal strong players OF national reputation
with excellent prospects Of securing them.
Prominent among these IS Catcher
Harry Decker, who was behind
the bat for the Pittsburg League
team last season in seventy games.
He also played number of games at first
base and in the field, and had batting
average Of .27S in ninety-five games. In
1859 Decker was with the Philadelphia
league team, and in 1883, while with
Toronto, was considered the star catcher
Of the international League. In addition
10 being splendid catcher he is good
all-round player and strong batter.
Decker is the inventor Of the Decker
catching glove, which is handled by A. g.
Epalding & Co. The addition Of this man
and Of Klusman, who will probably be
signed for first base, would greatly
strengthen the Seattle team in batting.
During the past week Tommy Hernon
nut his signature to a contract. and the
coming season will show the other boys
how right field should be played. 1t is al
most certain, too, that Win Camp will be
IN the box for the local team again, as he
has accepted terms, and by this time has
probably signed a.contract. Matt thinner
has also decided that he and Seattle are
not ready to part company yet and has
come to terms.
The position Of shortstop promises 10 be
= hard one to fill, but Manager Powell has
several good men in view and his choice
will no doubt be eminently satisfactory.
Should Decker be secured, when he is
not behind the bat he will be played in
center field, alternating there with one Of
the pitchers. In conformance with this
plan the club is apt to have but two regu-
lar outfichlers, two catchers and three
pitchers.
i A forecast Of the makeup of the team,
o. far as known, is as follows: Pitchers,
Win Camp and two others net decided
upon; catchers, Snyder and perhaps
Decker; first base, Klusman; second base,
thinner; third base, Irwin; left field,
Powell; right field, Hernon; for center
field, o pitcher or catcher.
