Baseball Rules.

He Expects Great Things of the New
Baseball Rules.
John r. Brush returned yesterday from
st. Louis, where at the meeting of the mag
mates of the National League he so success
fully carried the day against rowdyism and
vugarity on the ballfield. Mr. Brush is
naturally much gratified over the results of
the st Louis meeting, which he says was
the most successful meeting the League has
held since he has been connected with IT..
He says that it was considered by sporting
editors and those interested in the game as
the best and most important League meet
ing in times of peace.
1.-The results of the meeting" said he,
"wil be more effective in reforming the
game than any meeting that has been held
in years. 1 think we have finally got on
the right track to control the players on the
field Many efforts have been made since
1885 to suppress disorderly conduct in the
game New rules have been constantly
formulated with this object in view, but
they have played up and down one line of
action about as man would start on the
string of a violin and finger
up as high as he could on the Il
and then back again. and all the time
some baseballists have been playing more
disreputable ball every year. But we have
changed front now and are proceeding upon
an entirely new and original line of action.
There was a great deal of uncertainty
among the club owners when they met at
St Louis as to what action the committee
really proposed to take to carry into eff
feet the resolution that was adopted at the
Philadelphia meeting, looking toward ref
ormatlon, and the pan was not known
to any save the members of the committee
that formulated it. 1t came up as entirely
new matter, and in the presence of thirty or
forty representatives of the press from the
principal cities.
THE measure appealed to the league so
strongly that ten clubs were in favor of IL
from the start. An expression from the
newspaper representatives was solicited as
to the merits of the measure, and every
writer present responded to the call of his
name and Endorsed it. Upon this showing
the two clubs that had hesitated fell into
line and II was unanimously adopted.
some very important changes were made
IN the playing rules which will have the
effect of controlling ballplayers in every
league under the protection of the National
League. All games OF baseball are PLAYED
under the rules adopted by the National
League and the effect of the St Louis leg
islation will be to throw restraining influ-
ence around all ballplayers In every city
wherever the game is played"
Mr.. Brush said that he had not had the
time to consider the schedule OF the Gin
said, ito accept any schedule Mr.. Young
gives US. Some years 1t is not as good as
others but the good and bad always even
up. So far | know IL may be the hest
schedule We ever had. but III il Is not we
will be well contented with a."

Judge Harvey, of Room 2, Superior Court,
announced yesterday he would call in the
attorneys in the Krag Reynolds litigation
Tuesday morning and ascertain if possible
just how far off the promised settlement
with creditors seems to be. A definite time
for a conclusion Of the negotiations may
then be fixed
c. A. Korbly attorney for some of the
creditors, called to see the court yesterday
in the interests of a claim against the
Krag- Reynolds Company. He said he had
little faith in the promised compromise He
believed this delay useless, as the assets
of the company are gradually deteriorating
in value. w, T. Brown, attorney for the
Krag Reynolds assignee, said few days
ago that he understood something definite
to be done toward a settlement this
week. The attorneys for the Encyclopedias
Company say there is nothing new in the
negotiations

HELD THEIR VALISES.
Two Women who Failed to Pay Their
Bill at the Grand.

The bicycle patroimen were sent hurriedly
to the Grand Hotel yesterday, where they
found the manager OBTAINING two women
who declined to pay their bills. The women
came there the day before from Chicago,
and yesterday started to leave and take
their valises without settling. The manager
insisted that they leave their baggage as a
guaranty of good faith if they wished to
go on the promise to send the money in a
day. When the women saw the policemen
they became indignant, but when they
learned about the new law for the protec-
ton of hotel men and were informed that
they would be arrested If they did not
make some sort of a settlement they gladly
left their baggage and departed. The women
were we'll dressed and had a respectable
bearing. They drove away from the hotel
in a public carriage.

CRAWFORDSVILLE,I Ind, March 4.-The
Indianapolis Y. M C. A. basket ball team
was defeated tonight by the Charlottesville
team by score of 10 to r. The Indian
apolis team was much heavier than the
Charlottesville team and in view of the re-

the victory of the Crawfordsville players
virtually gives them the state championship.
The best points of the game were the
