KELLY UNDER DISCUSSION.
He Probably Will Not Play in
New York.


NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-The annual
meeting of the stockholders OF the New
York Base Ball club was held in the
Fuller building, Jersey City, Thursday.
Those present were j. B. Day, E. B.
Talcott, John NJ. Ward, James E. Sulli-
van, F. G. Robinson, G. i. Dillingham;.
E. A. McAlpin, j. w. Spalding, Cor
nelius Van Colt, G. d. White, and Mr..
Redding, the attorney of the club.
j. B. Day was reelected pres
ident and j. w. Spaulding treas
urer of the club. The new Office of
secretary. concerning which it was pre-
dicted there would be no little Gpposi-
ID. White. Mr.. White was y. Walter
Spalding's candidate for the office. j.
B. Day, E. B. Talcott, J. E. Sullivan. F.
E. Robinson. E. A. McAlpin, j. Walter
Spalding. G. D. White. G. t. Dilling-
ham and Cornelius Van Colt were
elected the board of directors. Day,
Talcott and Spalding were chosen to
serve as the executive committee, which
will manage the clubs affairs. The
Kelly matter was referred to the exec.
utive committee. This means that the
only Mike will not run bases for the
New York team, because Spalding and
TalcOtt are opposed to him. A letter
from Manager Powers, setting forth his
views concerning the team, was read
and referred to the executive commit
tee. John Ward and Talcott had lit
tie tilt when the meeting ended con-
corning the probable position of the
New York and Brooklyn clubs at the
close of the season. Talcott felt so sure
that New York would finish ahead of
Brooklyn that he offered to bet twenty
shares of New York base bali stock
against ten shares. Ward thought this
was pretty safe bet. and took it.

PFEFFER AND WILMOT.
A Slight Hitch Over Their Trans
fer to Louisville.

The Louisville club seems to be
house divided against itself, as the fol-
lowing from the Courier-Journal would
Indicate:
There is split among the directors
of the Louisville Base Ball club. The
division. however. is of friendly char
acter, and is nothing more than differ
ence of opinion as to the merits of Jim
Harris offer of Wilmot and Prefer for
Brown and Caravan. DR.. STICKY is
in favor of accepting the PROPOSE
ton. and is the champion of the
magnates who think the same way.
Director Cato strenuOusly opposes
such trade. He has, it is said, Messrs.
RuckStuhl and DreXler on his side. At
the last meeting of the club, it is said,
there was very warm discussion over
the proposition, though all speeches
were couched in mild language. Mr..
Cato was seen last night by Courier
journal reporter. He was asked why
he opposed the trade. He said the
Louisvilles stood good chance to get
Pfeffer without trading for him. He did
not think anything could be gained by
trading Brown and Caravan for Wilmot
and Pfetfer. Pfeffer had promised for
5000 salary to get his release from
the Chicago club. He thought he should
be given chance to keep his word.
Brown would be with the Louisvilles
next season as certain as a game was
played. He would not be traded; he
was too good man for that. Caravan
was too good player also to let go. He
was in favor of getting Pfeffer. but he
was firmly opposed to trading for him.
Mr.Gatto, according to his own words,
wants Pfetfer, but is not willing to
spend anything to get him. If he is not
willing to trade Brown for Pfeffer. he
wants Fred far less than the average
local crank. However, Mr. Cato
'tknows his own business" AS a base
ball crank he is allowed to entertain
any opinion, no matter how great or
how little Judgment there is in it. Per
sonally, therefore, Mr. Cato can
think and act as he pleases. AS
director of the club. however, he
should sacrifice self, and try TO please
the majority of the local cranks. By
agreeing to the Chicago proposition he
can do this. 1t is said that if Mr.. Cato
would change his mind two other men
would, and that Harris offer would be
accepted unanimously. After publicly
announcing that they had Pfeffer it is
the duty of the directors to keep their
word" as Mr.. Cato refers to Pteffer's
statement, and secure him.

Three Mile Race to Be STATED This
Afternoon

Afternoon.
A skating event which will attract
more than ordinary interest is to occur
this afternoon at the Junior Pioneer
rink at 8 O'Clock. 1t is the contest for the
three-mile amateur Minnesota state
championship, and all the principal
skaters of note in the vicinity of the
Twin Cities are expected to be on hand.
At this distance, three miles, there are
at least half-doZen men in st. Paul
and Minneapolis who are so closely
matched that choice before the race
would be hard to make. While John S.
johnson. of Minneapolis, is perhaps
more widely known than any of the
others, OH account of his bicycle riding,
the others. including Bird, Pannell and
and Davidson, of st. Paul, all have eX-
cellent skating records, and the meet
ing of these men upon equal chances
should furnish one of the most exciting
races ever skated in st. Paul. AS this
race is for state championship honors,
ana two very handsome trophies are at
stake, 1t is safe 10 say that all who enter
will make extra efforts to capture the
prizes. johnson recently skated mile
at the Minneapolis Normanna club rink
in 8 min 9 sec, and Panneli is credited
Will mic IN min sec at
the Atlanta rink in Saltwater a
few evenings since. There is
probably very little difference be-
tween these two men, when both
are i'll equally good condition. and it
would do no harm to include Bird in the
comparison, as he has made an excellent
showing this year. having won the local
championship, a Twin City handicap,
both at five miles, and one-mile event,
which places him i'll the front ranks.
Smith has made rapid improvement
during the past two weeks, and his
races with Pannell, at two and three
miles, which are to occur during the
coming week, will no doubt be full Of
interest. 1t is possible he may enter
the three-miie event today.
The probable starters this afternoon
are Johnson, Nilsson and Rudd, of
Minneapolis, and Pannell, Davidson.
Bird, HAIRY and Scheibe, of st. Paul.
As the entry list is open up to p. H.,
it is likely that others may compete
The event is open to all amateurs of
Minnesota; entrance free.

PRESS CLUB TOURNEY.
Games Played and Schedule for
This Week.

The billiard tournament at the press
club is proceeding merrily, and the
rooms are thronged each evening by the
participants and their friends. Many
of the members are learners at 1.-THE gen
tlemen's game" and, naturally, under
the circumstances, the handicapping is
q difficult task. A satisfactory handi-
cap has, however, been made by the
committee-MeSSrs. A. E. Chantler, II.
j. Price and A. S. Bailey-and some
very close contests have been the result.
The most exciting was the game be-
tween Frank BiXby and Ed Paradis.
They were evenly matched, and
At the outset Paradis took the lead.
He was sixteen points ahead when he
reached ninety-fye, and there he stuck.
BiXby gradually creDt up, one by one,
and the two players stood at ninety-nlne
each. Paradis was evidently ratified,
for he missed an easy carom, and let
BiXby in. A surprising game was that
played by A. E. Chantier and L. j.
Price. Usually there is not much diff
ference in their play, if anything Price
having an advantage, but in this game
he was never lin it," the score ending:
Chantler, 100; Price, 50. Col. Chantler
is playing strong game, and the report

he sleeps on the billiard table. ]. ].
Symes is playing a very good game,
and with his handicap-eight points
has good fighting chance. J. j. Van
diver is also playing well. The games
played up to last evening show that:

THE WINDSOR TOURNEY.
Sibiey and CIausen Will Probably
Struggle for Victory.

Struggle for Victory.
The first weeks play for the Windsor
house cmblems closed last evening with
three interesting games in the hotel
billiard room. The indications are that
the big battle is going to be between A.
c. Clausen and Fred Sibley. They
have conquered every adversary thus
far, and CIausen takes position at the
head of the list. his may not be
maintained, however, for Sibley is play
ing in the best form, and has the high
est run made in the weeks play to his
credit. The talent has pretty nearly
settled upon him as the winner Of the
championship, although Clausen has
the confidence or q goodly number of
enthusiastic admirers.
Markh seems to be playing with
more speed than characterized his work
for the Foley trophy, and this is likely
due TO the benefit he has received
from more asSidious practice. He is
quite a student, and his game is im-
proving with experience. Stauffer is the
most careful and hard worker in the
entire tournament. He studies every
shot geometrically, and then he bal
anceS his cue and tiddleS until his adj
verSary begins to wonder why he doesn't
shoot. Sibley'S play is of the nOncha
liant sort, and SO is Wilder's, for that
matter. There is no hesitation. They
size up the situation instantly, as if by
intuition, and quickly send the ivory
clicking against the object balls.
The games played last evening were
between Clausen and Ronalds, the
former winning in score of 100 TO 60:
Buckhout and DR.. Coon, in which the
doctor failed, 100 to So, and between
Clausen and Stauffer, the former scOr-
ing 100 while StaufTer got 70 buttons.
So it will be seen that none of these
games were very close. This suggests
the fact that the handicap allowances
are scarcely large enough for the short
men to get sight of the trophies.
The history of the tournament reads:
