A special from New York says that Pres

tlou of Professional Base Ball Clubs ar
rived in that city yesterday. The new or
ganization will hold meeting today and
some important business may be transact
ed. President Quinn said: II know that we
have been ridicued. and that the league
men have predicted that we would never
play ball. 1t Is the money that tells the
story and we have got it.
Il have Just finished trip to Washing
ton, Baltimore and Philadelphia where l
have received unexpected encouragement.
I have also been approached by several In
fuentiai citizens who are ready and willing
to back an association team in New York
city. They have assured me that grounds
are available, and that they are within
gunshot OF the Polo grounds. The identity
of the men in this city who are willing to
go into the scheme will be made known at
the proper time l have signed one of the
best managers In the league to take hold
of the new team to be placed here and you
can say that the first man he will secure is
Amos Rusie who has been prosecuted.
in Philadelphia Secretary Hough has
sufficient backing to build new grounds If
necessary and also sign the entire Phia-
deiphia team at an. increase of salary. This
Is no dream, for in q few days the whole
personnel of the new association will come
to the surface"
President Quinn held a long conference
last night with a big Tammany politician.
John McGraw of the Baltimores has con-
scented to manage the proposed New York
Association team, but on certain condi-
tons. He wants to have his partner, Robin
son, taken in on the DEAL and both must
have not only big salaries, but a piece of
the gate money.

CLIP BABN'S HAIR.
snort Locks Best Both for Comfort
and Cleanliness


From the Chicago Chronicle.
Many mothers insist upon allowing their
infants hair to grow long. 1T makes dar-
ing look SO cute they say. They do not
CONSIDER the discomfort child suffers. es-
pecialiy In warm weather, nor do they
seem to realize that the hair serves as a
trap for the dust and SCOT that are found
even in the most carefully cleansed iocaif-
ties
In taking care of an infants hair it is
necessary to remember how delicate and
sensitive the scalp of little child Is, and
also that the bones of the skull do not
close till nearly the end of the second year
of life. so that pouring anything hot upon
1t or applying alcohol, as is sometimes
done, may easily affect the brain inju-
riousIy.
At first baby's head should be washed
every morning with some good soap Ii
scurvy spots appear on it they should BE
gently rubbed with little vaseline or salad
oil before the head is washed but thew
should not be touched with a fne-tooth
comb 1t is mistake not TO soap the head
WELL for If this is not done the scalp is
pretty sure to become scurvy but it is an
important matter to rinse the hair prop
eriy with clear water and to dry II with a
soft towel. The very softest brush that
can be obtained is the right one for baby
and no comb should be used.
Alter Two years 1t VIII be often enough
II the child's head be washed once a week
Then shampoo should be used made of
the yolk of an egg and Soap beaten up in
warm water to form good lather This
should be well rubbed into the scaIp and
rinsed out with plenty of warm water.
If the water is hard a little borax NAV he
used to soften IT. When children have long
hair and are apt 10 catch cold ii is a good
plan sometimes to Apply a little eau de
cologne to the scalp, but this must never
be used in the case OF infants, for the rea-
socs just stated.

o clock this morning, took a cold plunpe
and later accompanied by his adviser
Tommy Ryan. started for walk to Gem
tIaI Park. They entered the park at 10Th
street and walked briskly for about three
miles, after which Jeffries returned to his

and coffee While waiting for his train
erS JeHrles wrote a number of kilograms

sweating. ~
He would not have worked as hard 40
ne did, said Delaney, IF l had had some
thing to say. In the last ten DAYS he
stopped the foolish practice of running and
sweating, a system which Corbett adopted
Since stopping Jefries has worked to a
moderate extent, but the question Is
whether he has stopped in time to avoid
any evil consequences that may follow after
the fight.
i do not mean that he is not physically
MT and will not whip Sharkey. but there is
a limit to everything, and l have objected
TO the severe method adopted this time
work. He goes ahead and works like a
steam engine, and this running and sweat
ing on the road is a killing process An
example Of this evil effect was seen three
weeks ago, when .Jeffries was weighed in
the presence of George Siler, the referee
He touched the scale at pa pounds, and l
was alarmed, for 214 pounds weight and
only three weeks to train is no joke To-
day he weighs 30 pounds and is fit"
All of Jeffries' friends consider him to
be in the pink of perfection, and are con-
iident that he will whip Sharkey Billy
Delaney, in spite of his objections to the
severe methods of training adopted by JEFF
Tries, says he sees no possibility of a de-
feat, and Tommy Ryan Is confident that
today he put up $500 against $3.50 on the
champion.
JeffrieS and his trainers left at 10 o'clock
for Coney Island. Jeffries will remain quiet
In his hotel there for the remainder of the
day.
Sharkey also got up at 6 O'Clock this
morning, and after taking a ride with
Trainer McGrath returned to his hotel at
Newdorp, Staten Island. and ate big
breakfast. consisting of cream three kinds
of fruit, chopped meat, six boiled eggs,
lamb chops and rye bread toasted.
Sharkey said he felt in prime condition
and was confident as ever that he will
win.
During the forenoon Sharkey. accom-
panied by his trainers. Bob Armstrong and
Tim McGrath, and about dozen friends,
left his training quarters for Coney Is
land, going by ferry to New York. They
were met at the ferry slip by Tom
O'Rourke, who Is Sharkeys manager.
