BLACKLIST IS READY.
Nick Ioung's Broad Hint to Popular Play.
crs Of the League.
RV the ITnite1 praec

Washington, Oct. 26-President Nick
Young, of the National Base Ball
league, does not intend to call a special
meeting to consider the new base ball
association. He says: 1.-The members
Of the league do not want any more
base ball wars but they stand ready to
defend their hard earned interest
against what appears to be nothing
more than a band of base ball specula-
tors. The situation has been thorough
ly surveyed, and we know every man,
his social and financial standing, sup
posed to be directly or indirectly inter
ested in the new association. The i'm
preston prevails, after looking over the
field that the league, rather than be-
come involved lin another struggle,
similar to that with the Brotherhood,
will go down into its pockets and buy
out the rival organization. They will
be sadly disappointed if they are enter
tanning any such idea. The league has
well balanced compact organization,
and the market is stocked with desira-
BILE players.
There is one thing that can be stated
with all frankness, and that is the
league does not intend to enter into Il
competitive contest of dollars for the
services of popular players in the
league, If they are disposed to place
their loyalty to the parent organiza-
ton on the auction block, they are at
liberty to do so. If they deliberately
violate the terms of the National agree
ment and desert the league they must
understand that they place themselves
on the black list, so far as the league is
concerned, for all time to come.
New players are being developed every
year, and there is no longer players
trust to dictate the policy of the league"
In this connection Mr.. Young called
attention to the number of excellent
young players developed in the league
during the last year and to contracts
already signed with promising players
of smaller leagues for the next season
He explained his absence from head
quarters last week by stating that he
went into seclusiOn temporarily to fig
ure out and promulgate the official
averages for the season just closed.
The fall meeting of the league will be
called for Nov. IA and will be held in
New York, The pennant will be form.
ally awarded to the Baltimore club and
the annual reports of the secretary
and treasurer of the league will be sub.
mitted. The showing promises to be
satisfactory from n financial stand
point and a general rounding up of the
leagues business affairs will indicate
fairly prosperous season in spite of
the hard times. Any questions arising
as to the rumored changes in the mem
bership of the league will probably be
deferred until the spring meeting or
the next championship season.

The college foot ball teams have finally
realized the importance of kicking
game. The new rules are responsible for
the change, and there is nothing more ex-
citing for the spectators in general than
to see the ball go sailing through space.
The Baltimore Professional League Foot
Ban team wrote Secretary Pickard, of
the Western Pennsylvania, Association
league, asking for a series of three games
with the Pittsburgs of that league. The
secretary declined to give them any en-
couragement, until after the close of the
local leagues season.
Pennsylvania is using kickoff that is
worth two of the tricks Yale tried early
in the season. Hickok kicked twice out of
bounds. This gave Yales opponents the
ball in midiield and they We're forced to
kick. Thereby Yale secured the ball, but
near her own goal. The new play Is bet
ter. Brooks kicks over his opponents
goal line and they touch in goal. This
gives them the ball and they have to put
1t In play on their twenty Five yard line
by kick. Pennsylvania thereby gets the
ball and gets 1t much nearer her oppo-
nents goal than in case of the Yale kick
off. OF course it takes a great kicker like
Brooks to make this play, and then it
won't always work, for it's q long kick
that will send foot ball from midfieId
over the goal line at a heighth that men
stationed on the line cannot reach.-Phil-

upon this date, instead of Dec. 5, as
they first proposed, and has also sub
mitted a proposition to Princeton,
which, however, will not be accepted.

teams, including her own, should be
on an equal footing, and has accord

BASE BALL BREVITIES.

There We're 600 home runs made in the
league the past season, the biggest num-

with II.
The Western league had eight men in
its ranks the past season with a batting
average of 400 or over, and 80 that had an
average of 300 or over.
An interesting test of the relative
strength of the two sections of the league
is seen in the fact that the eastern clubs
won 26S games from the western clubs
the past season, and lost to them only l5S.
The Boston club has signed Catcher
Warner of the Wilkes-Barre club for next

FRANK SELEE'S TALK.
lie Says Duffy, Mccarthy and Long VIII
Stay in Boston.
By the United Press

Philadelphia, Oct. 26.-Frank Selee.
manager of the Boston League ball
team, in an interview here said: you
can say for me that | will bet a new suit
of clothes that Duffy, Mccarthy and
Long do not play with the Association
next season. Why, it is simply ridicu-
lous to think of It. Two of these men
have invested $4,000 in business in Bos-
ton, and why should they want to play
in New York? Then again, if they must
make a change there is not club in the
league which would not offer them a
good advance over their present salary.
and 1t stands to reason they would
sooner play with a recognized success
full organization than take chances with
new one.
No, no, they are too level-headed for
that and you can also say that they
will get what they demanded from the
Boston club and they are entitled to 1t.
There are no harder working players in
the profession today than they, and they
are stars of the first magnitude; so
much so, in fact. that 1 would be in
favor of giving them all that business
can afford. There will be more old
faces on the Boston team next year
than most people imagine"

Johnson defeated Sanger thirteen

Johnson in eleven races. johnson won
