Mccain, OF Galveston, the electrician in
charge, located the break at / O'Clock ON

"UNCLE NICK" TO UMPIREs.
President Young Instructs Them as
to Their Duties.

President Nick Young has issued letter
to the umpiIes of the National League and
American Association of baseball clubs
giving special instructions and advice as
To the manner i'll which the duties OF an
umpire should be performed.
The important requisites, he says. are
to enforce the rules honestly, and as they
are written, but not arbitrarily. The
virtue OF an umpire, he says, consists in
perfect fearlessness in rendering a de-
cision believed to be right, and, having
rendered it, let it be final ana inevoca-
ble. A grander mistake, he adds, can
not be made than to uy to "even up"
because afraid that an incorrect decision
has been made.
Players should be made to keep lively
game in progress, and wrangling discour-
aged. II both captains agree to begin
"a game in a drizzlIng rain, it should not
be discouraged unless both captains re-
quest it, or unless the rain is SO severe
as to drive away the spectators, and pre-
vent fair playing. Anything both cap
tains request should he done, and the re
sponsibility left with them, except that
when two games are played in one af-
ternoon, anu the first game is long one,
the second should he started five min
utes thereafter, regardless of the time re-
manning TO complete it.

late New Regulations.

Cincinnati. April 2--Tbe committee on
registration of the American Congress met
the committee of breeders of Kentucky
here yesterday and took action as follows:
We will only permit q horse to race
when il is est tablished that said horse has

which automatically trace through and
through to animals duly recorded in first
five volumes of the American stud book or
in recognizedstudbo books of other countries
1t was decided that the aggregate cost
of registration must not exceed So for
each animal. This action is a ruling in
favor of registration only in Col. Bruce'S
American stud book as against the rule
of the New York Jockey Club, which COM
pels registration of foals in its record as
well as in the American stud book. The
action also secures TO the aged Col. R. G.
Bruce, of Lexington. KY, the owner of
the stud book, an income from his book,
something he has never before had, it is

Hot Springs. Ark. April 2.-There is
an imminent danger of huge disruption
in the National League. This time the
danger of war and trouble in the elgue
comes not from the internal strife OF
macnates. warning over baseball legisla-
ton. but from nutterings Of mutiny among
tie privates The players are up in arms
against the magnates. and are openly talk
ing of inaugurating d strike. 1t rs not
probable that they VIII resort TO eX-
trenes. but their talk shows the temper or
the men.
The trouble has arisen over the new con-
tracts that every player in the league
signed this spring The instrument looks
harmless, but since the PLAYERS have been
together they have been alyZing it, and
then came the roar. and what may follow
will come from it The change in the
contract is small. and makes the pay Of
the PLAYERS commence A pril Is, instead of
ON AprH I and ends october 10 instead
OF october l.
The players claim that the contract Is
framed to rob them, and that when they
signed they did not understand the full
purport of it, They base these assertions
the GGOGnu lildb III VIZ f"s
commence April ; the young players
are tried and work for nothing, where
under the old order they would have re-
ceived fifteen days pay. The men further
claim that in adding to the contract ffteen
davs in october the magnates are per-
petrating robbery, in depriving them OF a
chance TO profit 10y a mutual division OF
spoilS of a transforming trip.
The PLAYERS of the Chicago team have
been for three days discussing the matter
in groups and making threats OF open re-
bellion. They have been for three weeks
almost pennil ess. and no prospect or
money until MAY 1. One of the best pitchers
of the team urges a strike, and star
player saws that organized rebellion is the
only chance Of relief The new players VINO
are in danger OF losing pay are saying noth-
ing and il is the older members who are
doing the war act.
Anson saws that he cannot see where the
difference is as the men getthe same money
for playing the same length OF time, bnt
has nothing TO say of the fall transforming
The men commend Killen's action in re-
fusipg to go south for practice unless he re-
ceived pay, and say that had they been to-
rether and understood the situation they
would have done the same thing.

able to secure from the Department Of
State a copy OF an exhaustive report just
received fioIn Consul Chancellor at Havre
giving a detailed statement of the rules and
regulations which now prevail in the var
ious European countries regarding cycles
and cyclists. Some of the chief points of
interest are, briefly, as follows:
France, deposit of about % cents
pound to cover the import duty must be
made, which is refunded when the wheel
leaves the country. There is an annual
tax Of So for every wheel. Wheels must
have bells and lanterns, and there are
strict rules about riding. Bicycles go as
baggage on railways. Germany, the duty
is 8 cents a pound, but no deposit is re-
quired. In Austria deposit of SO inust
be made. In Belgium 2 per cent ad va
loren duty must be deposited, members
of the Touring Club of France being cx-
empt
Denmark requires 10 per cent deposit
and Egypt per cent, and in all cases it
is essential to preserve the receipt for de-
posit England charges no duty. Italy
compels a deposit to guarantee against
sale OF bicycles, exempting, however, the
French Touring Club, which is good or
ganzation to join, apparently, as it only
costs 81 a year and embraces as many
advantages in Europe as the League Of
American wheelmen does in this country
In nearly all the remaining countries de-
posits are required. and in Spain a six
mouths license, costing 20 cents, is re-
quired Consul Chancellor points out that
membership in cycling organizations abroad
as at home carries great advantages, re-
duced hotel rates and repairs and courte-
