Players Deserving Eim.

Won Der Abe Talks of Els Plans and Of
Players Deserving Elm.
ST LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 4.-[Spec;al 1.-The
news that the entire Brown Stocking team
had bid farewell TO St Louis for all time to
come caused President Won der Abe to cut
his fishing trip little short and he is to-
day on his old stamping ground. He looks
somewhat worried at the turn things have
taken, vet he laughs at the idea of ST. Louis
not having frst-class bali team next sea-
son. 1t is a sure thing that Comiskey will
not PLAY here next season as Won der Abe
says that he would not think of paying him
anything like the figures offered him by the
President of the Cincinnati club; that good
first baseman, second baseman and another
PLAYER can be signed for the same amount
of money offered to Comiskey by Cincinnati.
The boss President is sorry to think of
losing the Captain, but he believes that if
he handles the men himself St. Louis will
be up among the leaders at the end of next
season. 1t is a well-known fact that Com
iskey is a poor hand to give away his
private business, ard a secret carried by him
is as safe as if it was locked up in safe
deposit bank and guarded by 900 soldiers.
When asked whether he had really signed
next season, he said that there was plenty
of time to make that public, but that he felt
pretty sure of playing with Brush's club in
1892, and those VINO know the big Captain
and understand him thoroughly, can tell
pretty near where he will he found next
season, after having said this.
Besides the Western Leaguers already
signed by Won der Abe, he will try to Sc
cure DUNCAN, catcher, who is said to be as
good as any man who played in the Asso-
citation last season. Mcmahon may possibly
be signed, too A strong effort will be made
to induce Boyle to sign for another season,
as it will be difficult task to fill his shoes,
but is is pretty sure thing that Boyle will
go with Comiskey to Cincinnati. Fuller is
badly wanted, too, as the boss President re-
allies the iaca tha5 his shoes will be hard to
fill. Reports have reached here from the
East that the League intended to increase
its circuit to ten clubs, and that St. Louis
and Baltimore were to be used to fill out
with. and that people with large capital
would back the Mound City team; but
nothing is known here about it. Ex-Man-
ager W. H. Watkins was here to-day hob
nobbing with President Won der Abe, but
the former claimed that he was on other
business than baseball.

DON'T LIKE THE SCHEME.
Leading Athletes Not in Favor of Mr. JAMS
sens New Association.

New YORK, Nov. Al Special THE
leading amateur athletes in the East are not
taking kindly to the new scheme proposed
by Mir. Jansen. Yesterday a prominent
athlete said:
The scheme is transparent What use
is there for organizing the league if it isn't
10 have jurisdiction over sports? That's
what the Amateur Athletic Union exists
for. and the new association proposes to
take in the clubs that compose the backbone
OF the A. A. L. The result would simply
be to array the silk stocking element in
athletics against the humber class, and the
outcome would be disastrous to all branches
of sport. The claim that the new body
would not antagonize the A A. Z. is all
rubbish. Janssen's strictly confidential
and not for publication circular states dis
tinctly that the proposed league is to foster
and promote all sports, games and pastiircs
of every description TO the particular ad-
vantage of its own members, and independ-
entity of all other organizations in the
United States and Canada. Now, how can
il endeavor to take all sports under its
wing and still not antagonize the A. A O.,
the object of which is to foster and control
all branches OF sport. The assertion is a5-
surd, ard all athletic clubs which desire to
see sports and pastimes continue on
healthy basis will fight shy of this wild
eyed scheme"
When L. w. Jansen was questioned, he
said: This plan will in no wise Interfere
with the A. A. e., or any other body, and
/ claim the organization will result benefi-
cialIy to athletics. AT any rate the
clubs to which I have sent the circular are
very favorably impressed with the idea.
Five clubs have already officially Joined the
league, while many others have notified me
tha: they are considering the plan and look
upon it with approval. The clubs which
have joined are the Staten Island A. C.,
Athletic Club Of the Schuyllzill Navy, Phil
adelphia; Columbia Athletic Club, Wash
ington. ID. c.; Athenaum Club, Toronto,
Ont, and the Providence A. c., of Provi-
dence, II. l. Among the clubs that are
favorabiy impressed with the idea and are
apt to join are the Berkeley Athletic Club,
OF this city; Detroit Athletic Club, Olympic
Athletic Club, of San Francisco; Manhattan
Athletic Club, of New York; Englewood
Field Club, Orange Athletic Club, Mont
clair Athletic Club, st. Louis, Mo. There
is plenty room for the new league, and 1 am
confident of Success

BARILLAs UNMUZZLEs THE PRESS.
A Desperate Expedient to Hold His Office
Till His Term Expires.

CITY OF MEXICO, Nov. 4.-Advices re-
ceived from Guatemala are to the effect that
affairs in Guatemala have undergone q ma
terial change within the past two weeks.
Where President Barillas has heretofore
muzzled the press and banished journalists
the most absolute liberty in writing is now
allowed, and the newspaper men are taking
advantage of the opportunity to score the
government
The change of heart has been occasioned
by his terror that he will be deposed before
his term of office expires in December His
previous arbitrary acts have him so unpop-
ular that should he attempt to imprison an
other journalist revolution would follow.
Barillas has been advised by his Cabinet to
leave Guatemala, but this he refuses to do
until after the elections His mode at
present is simply the only means he can de-
wise to hold the Presidency until the expira-
tion of his term.

THE SWIMMING MATCH.
Harry Masac Again Asserts His Title
to the Championship.

to the Championship.
The swimming match was the attrac-
tion yesterday at Redondo, and consid-
erable interest was displayed in the
contest. The event did not come off on
time.
A quarter OF mile away from the pier
two bobbing buoys surmounted by gayly
Tapping flags indicated the end of the
course over which the swimmers were to
pass, and two or three young fellows
stood about before the event with faces
sufficiently anxious-looking to indicate
that they were among the contestants
for the three medals offered for the
quarter-mile race.
The crowd was becoming impatient,
without the usual means of displaying
their feelings at hand, before the three
small boats which were to contain the
judges, referee and starter made their
appearance. Then eleven men in
various conditions of bathing suits ap-
peared. entered the larger boat,
and after shedding all of
their costume except pair of bathing
trunks. took their stations on the plat
form prepared for them on the pier and
awaited the starters signal.
The judges were James N. Womers-
ley, w. J. McCaidin, w. B. Hagar,
George E. Tyson, E. P. Maxey and e.
Jensen. Prof. Gene Mercadier of the
Natatorium was starter and A. H.
Hutchinson referee.
Promptly at the appointed time Prof.
Mercadier gave the signal, and the en-
tire batch of contestants got off we'll
together. Harry Masac, who already
held the amateur championship for
Southern California, led from the start
and finished twenty seconds ahead OF
any other contestant. Opinion had been
divided between Fay Stephenson, Clar-
ence Dosch and John George for second
place, but to the surprise of every one
Frank Raemis took second place and
held it until within ten yards of the
finish, when he took a sudden cramp
and was obliged to slacken his
pace, when Clarence Dosch made
a squirt and finished second.
Fay Stephenson was evidently out
of condition and came in fourth, to the
disappointment of his friends; Johnnie
George failed to take direct line to the
buoys and had to change his course,
losing several seconds. The sixth place
was taken by the youngest of the con-
testants, Master Willie Rice, who only
a short time ago captured the medal for
boys 100-yard race at the Natatorium.
The time as kept in the judges boat
was as follows: Harry Masac, 7 :O5 !;
Clarence Dosch, 80; Frank Raemis,
7:45; Fay Stephenson, TAT; John
George, 7:51; Willie Rice, 7 7:54; j. c..
Cox and A. A. Grow, 1857, and Brewer
and Schmidt, SOL. The remaining con-
testants failed to finish the distance.

CHOOSING A PASTOR.
A Colored Congregation in Boston at
Serious Loggerheads.

Colored Congregation In Boston at
Serious Loggerheads.
BosToN, August 2.-For some time
past there has been trouble in the
Twelfth Baptist church (colored). The
church has been without pastor sew
eral months, and call on behalf of a
portion of the members was recently ex-
tended to Rev. Henry H. Harris, former
pastor. Mr.. Harris has been resting
under criminal charges. Owing to this
TACT there was a strong element in the
church opposed to his becoming their
pastor. 1t was announced that he
would preach today, and the opposing
faction was bound if possible to prevent
him.
About O'Clock this morning as one
OF the Harris men was passing the
church, he noticed light within, and
quickly summoning eight or ten friends,
including the sexton, they effected an
entrance, where seven anti-Harris men
were found busily engaged in mailing
and boarding up the doors and windows,
while large placard had been prepared
announcing that the church would be
closed until September.
After long discussion, the anti
Harris party were elected from
the building. This forenoon, how
ever, one Of their number swore
out a warrant, charging Harris with
performing an abortion, with view to
preventing his appearance in the pulpit
today. Mr.. Harris, hearing of this ac-
ton, went to the police station where a
warrant was read to him, and was re-
leased on:$10, 900 bail. Accompanied by
a special officer, he then proceeded to
the church where he preached strong
sermon, making only an incidental al
lusion to his troubles. Altogether the
situation is decidedly interesting, and
the Harrisites seem at present to be on
top.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-08-03

Admiral Gervais discussed with the
Russian officials, the details of possible
cooperation on the part of the Russian
and French fleets. The correspond
ent points out that it would
be quite impossible for the large
iron-clads to pass directly through
the sound into the Baltic. Admiral
Gervais found that he had to take the
route of the great belt, and to pass the
Gulf of Mecklenburg. This, in time OF
war, would expose fleet desiring to as
sist Russia, or Russian vessels wanting
to attack the German coast, to an en-
counter with the German fleet in Kiel
bay.
