BASEBALL LEAGUE MEETING.
The Temple Cup and Rowdyism to Receive
Prominent Consideration.


New York, Nov. s.-The Herald
says:
The National League and American
association of baseball clubs will be-
gin its annual meeting in Philadelphia
tomorrow. Standing out prominently
on the list of subjects to be considered
is the Temple cup question. None the
less prominent Is n mass Of evidence
concerning the rowdyism of playing
on the field, which increased last year
to such proportions as to disgust the
public. There will be more less talk of
having the Western teams make three
trips enst, and the Eastern teams west
next year, instead of two, as has been
the custom.
The national board will meet tomor-
row morning to disentangle disputes
over drafted players. An appeal from
the Western league asking the board
to recommend to the league some mod
ification of the drafting system VIII
be discussed.
w. C. Temple of Pittsburg. who gave
the National League players the
trophy which bears his name, has an
nounced that he win be at the meet
ing to protest against the abuses which
have been creeping more and more
into the games played for the cup. He
says that in the very first contest for
the cup In 1894, between New York and
Baltimore, one important condition.
that of the division of the gate receipts.
was violated. some of the players. in
stead OF standing ON the provision of
go per cent of the receipts to the win
ners and 40 per cent to the losers,
agreeing to divide on n 30 per cent
basis. Mr.. Temple says that he asked
the league to punish these players. but
was told to let the matter pass. that
a similar offense would probably not
be committed again.
THAT. i'm his opinion. was n serious
mistake, for had the offending players
been punished at the time no further
offenses would have been committed,
and there would have been no scandal
this fall
Some club owners are opposed to the
Temple cup altogether, others are in
favor OF Il. and will work for its con-
tinuance. Edward Hanlon. manager
OF the Baltimore team, very naturally
will use his energies in support OF 1t.
Mr.. Hanlon has adopted the suggestion
OF a. Soden OF the Boston clubs that
the clubs contribute fund of sl2.-
900. to be divided among the PLAYERS
OF The three leading clubs. This amount

10 Foot Snake Killed by a Farmer
Near Lock Springs.

ST. Joseph, Mo, July 1.-Farmers in
the vicinity of Lock Springs, Mo-, have
been greatly harassed for several
weeks through depredations on their
chickens and pigs, and the mystery was
not solved until today. when Newton
McCrary started on the trail of what
appeared to be a monster snake.
He Travelled q distance of two miles,
when he came to the banks of the
Grand river, where it appeared the rep
tile entered the water A search or
the vicinity later on rewarded Mr.. Nc
Crazy for his persistence. Apparently
asleep, after having dispatched several
full grown chickens, lay a reptile of
such monstrous proportions that the
man was transfixed with fear. His
courage returning, McCrary sent d
charge of buckShot into the head of
the reptile and precipitately fed. The
contortions of the snake as it dashed its
tail and body against the ground and
trees added to the fears of the now
thoroughly terrified man. Summon
ing the assistance of neighbors, Nc
Crary cautiously led back an armed
party, when, to his satisfaction, the life
of the reptile was found to be extinct.
1t measured Is feet and the body was
as large as an ordinary stove pipe.
The species of the reptile is not known,
although it looks very much like
python,
