AGAINST ROWDY COACHING.
The Philadelphia Club Makes a Pro-
test to President Young.

In Difference to the wishes of their patrons
the Philadelphia club officials have forward
ed letter to President Young of which the
following is a copy:
N. E. Young, Esq, President of the National
League and American Association OF
Professional Base Ball Clubs.
Dear Sir: We are still receiving protests
against the rowdy and ungentlemanly tao
tics of certain players of the Boston club al
the game of the 18th instant. These pro-
tests are from some of our most prominent
citizens, who are fairly representative OF
the personal sentiments of large body OF
our PATRONS, and they threaten a withdraw
al of patronage upon a recurrence of such
bowling and disorder.
The generous base ball public are entitled
to the protection guaranteed them by the
league rules. These rules are ample and
plenty for the purpose. but they are not en-
forced. The fault is primarily with the UNI
pire. He is master of the field" and sole
and absolute Judge of the play" unless an
usurpation of his prerogative is invited by
his own imbecility and timidity.
In order to strengthen and encourage him
to faithful discharge of official duty I'M
der peril of his place, we respectfully sub
NIT the following suggestions (among the
mary doubtless occurring to you for the
enforcement of the rules most frequently
ignored or forgotten:
Give peremptory instructions to each
umpire:
l. To fine, and-afte- warning-remove
from the game, any player, excepting the
captain, who questions critcises or appeals
from his decision.
2 To order the captain to his place and
the game to proceed Immediately after
listening to and promptly ruling on his ap-
peal.
3. To not allow any coaching whatever unit!

or any other person, except a base runner
.. To remove coacher who addresses a
base runner except 'n words of necessary
direction or who yells or uses other loud
tones, evidently intended to discomfort a
pitcher or fielder

TEEN from the individual members of the
lodge in which he holds membership. All

rupted the playing altogether before more
than three matches could be played off.
In the singles there was but one match
to be played yesterday, between w. G. Par
ker of New York and c. c. Clark of this
city, to determine which of them should
enter the final match for the championship
of the south with Fischer, also of New

The second set, however. was a close and
exciting one Astounding in good plays and
fine work by both men. but was finally
won by Parker. to .. This takes the
championship out of reach of Washington,
and it will be battled for today between
Fischer and Parker, the two New York
cracks The handsome silver bowl put
up by the Bachelors will, accordingly, go
to New York for year at least, but must
be won three times to become the abso-
lutte property of the owner.

THE DARK CONTINENT.
MIR. J. OrmOnd Wilson Speaks of the
Wonderful Material Resources.

Mr.. ]. Ormond Wilson. formerly superin-
tendent of the public schools of this CITY,
delivered this morning before the students
of Columbian Preparatory School an ex-
ceedingly interesting and instructive lee
ture upon Africa, a continent to which his
attention has been particularly directed by
reason of the fact that he is secretary of
the American Colonization Society. He said
first that the small islands of Great Britain
could not contain the people and the energy
born and developed there, and that in con-
sequence the adventurous and progressive
spirits Of England go forth to foreign lands
to found new empires and to establish new
states. all owing allegiance to the home
country.
Africa is today. in soil. the richest portion
OF the globe; many parts have not been
seen by the eye of white man. But
changes are in progress. Soon the dark
land will be known to the Caucasian race
In area Africa extends 35 degrees north of
the equator and 80 degrees south. 1t is 30
degrees west OF the meridian of Greenwich

ANGRY DEMOCRATS.
The Alabama Convention mt Logger
heads Over Senator Morgan.


The Alabama democratic convention
nearly split yesterday on the issue raised of
the Endorsement of President Cleveland and
the administration. The committee on plat
form and resolutions suggested a platform
substantially identical with that on which
Cleveland was elected. This platform in
dorsed the acts of the administration and
the democracy and fealty to the President
IL was unanimously adopted. Among
other resolutions the committee presented
one indorsing the ability of Senator Nor
gan and his fealty to Alabama, and recon-
mending his reelection by the legislature.
John b. Knox of Admission offered as a
substitute similar resolution and a spe-
cific Endorsement of a Morgan democracy.
AT this the administration men went wild
and the Morgan men rose and yelled Dis
order and excitement took possession of the
meeting. Several inftammatory speeches on
each side only added to the furore A mo-
ton was made to table the substitute A
vote by counties was called for. The Sec
rotary, an administration man, announced
the vote as in favor of tabling the substi-
tute. Some Morgan men, who had kept
tally, sprang to the floor and demanded a
verification of the count
At this tuncture Col. H. Clay Tompkins of
Montgomery demanded the attention of the
convention. After prolonged disorder the
house being filled with EXPLANATIONS of rage
and vituperation, Col Tompkins was al
lowed to talk. He offered a substitute for
both resolutions. His substitute read iden-
tically like that first introduced, except that
IL went further. and stated that while some
Of the democrats Of Alabama differed with
Senator Morgan on matters of policy, they
Endorsed his fealty to the democratic party.
This was accepted by both sides, and was
passed unanimously.
Thoughtful democrats fear lest the
wounds Inflicted in this scuffle will not soon
be healed. Capt. Kolb's friends are de-
lighted They believe that the discord in
the democratic ranks only adds to their
chances OF the party success in the August
elections. The convention adjourned after
the nomination OF candidates for minor
state offices.

Bad Starting at Gravesend,

Rowe was in one of his worst moods at
Gravesend yesterday. and the starting was
worse than on any previous day. The poor
est piece of work was in the third race, and
Rowe probably never got such a hooting
and kissing before in his life. When he
started them he did not see the favorite
Prig) standing still, and dropped his nag.
1t was bad blunder, and Rowe did not add
to the good feeling of everybody by throw
ing his flag down in disgust. Sullross took
the lead in the stretch after INDUCING
Shadow for awhile and won easily, while
Emin Bey got up in time to beat Shadow.
L. w. boswell sprang surprise on the
talent in the fifth race with the two-year-
old FLY Melinda. and she simply played
with the others Nenevah was second and
the favorite Mosquito) was never in the
contest when the stretch was reached. The
other winners were Ella Reed, Ed Kearney,
Mr. Jingle and ST. Julien.
The Latonia Derby.
The great race at Cincinnati today, the
most valuable of the meeting and the larg-
est purse ever offered by the Latonia Club,
is the Derby worth 5000. The betting at
the pool rooms last night was not very
lively.
Lazzarone opened favorite in the poolings
on the Derby at even money against the
field, and his strength increased until at the
close Lazzarone was sold for SO against the
very small, only six horses Offering to make
the race. 1t is feared that Derby day will
be somewhat of disappointment in more
ways than one.

Political, confederate and social circles at

The Ioung Women's Auxiliary of the Con-

and refused TO decorate confederate graves
because Col. Breckenridge is a member of

there will be no refusal to decorate graves
