AFTER YOUNG'S SCALP.
League Nngnntcs Talking of A. G.
Spa!dinS for President.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-This is the week
for baseball politics and the magnates Of
the National League are to meet at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel in their annual con-
ference. There are many important ques-
tions concerning the CLUB owners, chief of
which is the decline OF public interest.
The magnates are now inclined to blame
their salaried chief executive, \. f.
Young. for the existence of disorderly coa-
duct on the ball field.
James A. Hart OF Chicago, Freedman OF
New York. Rogers of Philadelphia. and
several OF the club owners are after
Young's scalp. Young has been president
of the National League for twenty-five
years.
Edward Hanlon. OF the Brooklyn club.
arrived in town today and held long con-
ference with his partners, f. A. Abell and
C. H. Ebbctts. at the Murray Hill Hotel.
1t was reported some time ago that Han
Ion was i'll and would have to give up
baseball but today he locks better than
ever. When the question of President
Young retirement came up for discussion
lianlcn said to n reporter:
Il would like to have you say for me
that if President Young has decided TO re-
sign. as heard some days ago, the only
man to succeed him is 4. G. Spalding. The
League today needs man Of Spalding' S
standing in the community to take hold
of its affairs. and l think we ought to ask
him to accept the presidency If there is a
vacancy. Spalding has had the experience.
enjoys the confidence Of the players, the
public. and the press and is man OF
firmness.'
In addition to this problem. the mag
mates must settle the American League
question. Ban Johnson, the president of
the new organization. is going ahead re-
gardless of the National League people.
A report reached here tonight from Balti-
more that McGraw had signed q ten-year
contract to play with Iohnson's league,
which is thought to be in the nature OF
'feeler," as McGraw's services are still
balletined as belonging to. the st. Louis
club. Hanlon. in talking of Johnson S
scheme. said with considerable feeling:
This talk of baseball war is ridicu-
lous. johnson does not know what war
means. If the American League declared
war upon the National League by break
ing away from protected baseball, 1t
would not last six weeks. The National
League can make a pretty slick move
believe. if the occasion requires it. The
supposedly defunct American Association,
after being taken under our protection
could play conflicting games with the
American League teams. We might stand
some of the expense at that, too, just to
make it warm for those fellows who are
talking idly about war. Johnsons scheme
is q mere phantom

important Business to Be COnsid-

A Vote To BE Taken Thursdny After
noon on the Davis Amendment to
the Hay-Paunccfote Treaty - MIR.
TclIcr's Substitutc-The Ship Sub
sidy BilI-Thc Clark -MaSiEnis Case

The most important event of the week
in the Senate will be the vote on the
Davis amendment TO the Hay -Pauncefote
Treaty which will be taken by agreement
on Thursday. at ! o'clock. 1t is now be-
lieved that at the time set fer the vote on
the amendment majority of the friends
of the change proposed by the late Senator
from Minnesota will accept a substitute
amendment, to be offered by Mr.. Teller,
which strikes out that sentence of the
seventh article of the pending treaty which
says THAT no fort or Notifications shall be
erected commanding the approaches of the
canal or the waters adjacent thereto
This, it is argued by those favoring the
substitute, would give the United States
the right to erect permanent Notifications
and maintain them.
Charles A. Towne. of Minnesota, ap-
pointed TO ill the vacancy caused by the
death of the late Cushman X. Davis. will
be sworn in as a Senator this morning. His
credentials will be presented by Mr.. Nell
son. His presence will add another vote to
those opposing the Hay -Pauncefote Treaty.
Mr. Towne will only serve until January
S, unless the Minnesota Legislature is IN
able to elect a successor at that time.
The Ship Subsidy bill remains as the IN
finished business on the calendar and the
debate will probably begin today at the
close of the morning session. Senator
Hanna will speak on the bill tomorrow.
The special order on the calendar for
today is the Nicaragua Canal bill, Mr..
Morgan having given notice last session
that he would call it up today. As mat
tiers now stand it is probable that the
measure will go over until next week.

OFF ON A SIX DAYS RACE.
Crack icyclists in the Event at Mad
iSGn Square Garden.

NEW YORK. Dec. 1O.-Sixteen men. each
representing q team, started on the annual
bicycle journey OF six days duration
around the ten-laD beard track at Madison
Square Garden at few minutes after
midnight this morning. The big place was
flied with crowd of noisy enthusiasts
and the scene was one profuse in color
and confusion. All the old timers are in
the race again and there are many new
ones from abroad who are known here only
by their records at home.
The men are TO ride in pairs, so that
there will be no violation of the law
through one man being on the track more
than twelve hours out of the twenty-four.
The riders can distribute their riding time
to accommodate themselves, however, and
can work in one hour turns or in tricks OF
twelve if they so choose.
There is one change of interest in the
terms under which the men started which
is that there will be no prize for the best
individual score. as last year. All the
prizes seven of them, are for team records
solely, and when one man of a team gives
out there will be no incentive for his part
ner to remain in the contest. There is a
total of $1,000 more money in the prize
list this time, however, to induce the men

abandon the fight In the House of Rep

sion of the tax on beer in the new reve-

Is to induce the Senate Finance Commit

aIent to the bank check revenues. The
revenue receipts from The stamp tax en-
bank checks amount to about $1,000, 900 a
