BACK TO THE MINORS
National League Reduced to Eight
Clubs and Washington Dropped.
TIE WAGNERS TO RECEIVE $46,5oO
Springfield Club May Be Trans
ferred to This City.
GENERAL SPORTING NEWS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, March 9.-when the Ma
tional League magnates filed out of Par
lor D at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, few
minutes before midnight last night, every
one of them was smiling and happy. After
two days of higgling and haggiing the cir
cult had been reduced to eight clubs and
the eight who gave and the little four who
received were all satisfied.
Under the arrangements made the four
clubs dropped-Washington, Baltimore,
Cleveland and Louisville-nominally remain
members of the ten-year agreement for two
more years; but they will have neither
clubs nor schedules and will be repre-
scented in league meetings only to live up
to the legal end of the indianapolis agree
ment. Under the terms of the present ar
rangement the four franchises, ground
leases and players, with one exception, go
to the eight club league The exception
Is in case of the Baltimore players. the
most of whom will go to Brooklyn. The
league has the option of taking up the
debt assumed in one, two or three years
The Wasners received $40 500 for their
share, less the $500 received for the sale
or Freeman, Dineen and Barry. For this
sum they give the league an absolute clear
title to all their holdings, and deliver TWEEN
ty-seven out of the twenty-nine shares of
the cluD STOCK. The remaining two shares
are held by Messrs. AL johnson and Schlee-
ter of Washington.
No better pleased trio came out of the
session rooms than George and Earle Wag-
ner, and their lawyer, Frank Elliott For
the third time in their connection with
base ball they had locked horns with the
leaders of the National League and won
out.
"GOod-Bye, Washington"
Earle Wagner greeted The Star reporter
with Goodbye. Washington Goodbye,
base ball"' Not to be ungracious in the
hour of parting: but undoubtedly some
thing in that line was echoed in the capt.
tai when the news reached there.
The Wagners will not NEEDLE in minor
league ball. Earle Wagner stated there
was nothing in the rumors that Arthur Ir-
win would put an Eastern League club in
Washington. IF any minor league club
goes there" said he. sit will probably be
the present Springfield club, and Tom
Burns, the ex-Chicagoan, will manage it,"
The league adjourned until 1880 am.
today, when President Young will present
an eight-club schedule and routine matters
will be adjusted. Baltimores and Washing
tons status in minor league company will
also be determined.

rms amount did not only cover lawyer
and court fees and a bonus In securing the
ground lease, but a substantial sum to Sc
cure the signatures of McGraw and Robin
son to leage contracts. McGraw's new
contract calls for 5000. instead of $1,000,
as last year, and Catcher Robinson profited
to the extent of the raise from $500 to
$500.
Mr. Robisons authority to close up the
breach between McGraw and the league
was at first questioned by the leaders
though in the end his efforts were prac-
ticaliy approved.

We favor the abolishing OF the police
commission and the eIactio1 of the po-
lice force by the mayor and aldermen,
members of such force to be under civi
service rules, subject to removal on
written accusations containing specific
charges, the accused to be trisd in open
counciI. We believe this system will
best accomplish the desired object Of
divorcing the police department from
olitIcs, and it viii remedy the existiog
leyil of trying and removing members Of
the police force in secret session.
We favor the application Of civil ser
vice rules to the fire department as far
as practicable.
We earnestly ask The cooperation Of
all the citizens Of Brunswick who desire
progress and welfare Of the city in car
rying out these pledges, and in accom-
pIishing the objects herein set forth.
We propose TO nominate for mayor
and aldermen only such men as We be-
lieve to be entitled to the confidence Of
the public and who will stand pledged
to administer their affairs in accordance
with the principles and declstions made
in this platform. We ask them to make
no other pledges and especially recon
mend 10 them that they make no pled-
Pei or promises to particular cAndi-
dates or applicants for any office to be
allied by them, and that they select for
such offices those best qualified to dis
charge the duties and who are in en-
tire accord and sympathy wish the pur.
poses and objects of this Organization,
We further recommend and urge ihS,
as far as possible, they stand together
and act in harmonyin the carrying out

The number Of clerks and employees

average OF more than six for each
senator and nearly two for each
member of the house. These are
Mr.. Dockery's figures. The st.
