A NEW BROTHERhOOD.

PHILADELPHIA, July 2S.-There is
trouble brewing for the National league
magnates. The players and their friends
are slowly, but surely, perfecting a
strong organization. There is one or
more active agents in every club and
rot only promises, but agreements,
have been secured from some of the
best players in the National league
that they will play with the new or
ganization. The men are not afraid of
the magnates stopping them from play
ing with the new organization, as the
decision of the court i'm the case of the
Philadelphia ball club against William
Mailman in the Brotherhood fight clear
ly demonstrated that the reserve rule
would not hold in law.
A meeting which was guarded with
great secrecy was held in this city on
sunday. \ close watch has been kept
on the turnstles and the amount of
money that each club has made is
known. The venture is purely business
one, and at least 40 well-known players
have put their money in il. An option
OF grounds has been secured i'm several
cities and the circuit will b> composed
of eight clubs. After an amount suffi-
Gent to pay salaries has been earned. q
guarantee fund will he established. The
receipts from games will be pooled.
IL is not the purpose of the new
league TO fight the old one. Another
meeting will be held in, Chicago in a
short time.

Dare Devil as a hot favorite; the 2:1O
pace, with Frank Bogash favorite and
Agitate second choice, and the 2:2j
pace, with the stallion Courier Journal
favorite.
In the 2:25 trot Dare Devil justified
the confidence of his hackers by win
ming i'm straight heats, though the
should have made a better showing.
after the second heat, but IL made no
difference, Dare Devil taking the next
heat and the race.
In the 2:10 pace Frank Bogash won
the first heat in slow time, but in the
second heat Planet was sent after him.
IL was a hot race to the stretch where
Planet took the lead and was first un-
der the wire in 2:07. Bogash got the
next two heats with ease.
The 2:25 pace was postponed after
four heats had been gone. In the first

he never change his decision again.
Springfield Union.
Can Springfield keep up her present
winning streak? An impartial observer
would not think so. Mains is admittedly
their strongest pitcher though Woods
work has been exceptionally good OF
late. The team has been hitting the ball
and winning games as a result. But no
team ever built can keep il up contnu-
Ously. There Is a nervous strain that
tells on the men sooner or later, then
comes a period of lapse.-Syracuse
Courier, Getting a bit anxious? Not a
man on the team has been batting
above his usual strength. and several
have been falling below II for the past
fortnight.-Springfel Union.
Springfield has splendid team, and
II would not be at all surprising IL it
should win the pennant. 1t is playing
very much stronger game than when
here earlier in the season. and IL is not
now so difficult for Buffalo fans 10 un-
derstand why the Blsons suffered three
successive defeats at Springfield last
week. The replacing of Bobby Moore at
second base with Jimmy Rogers, recent
