Rhinnceros Horns.

The horns Of the African rhinoceros
sometimes grow to the length of four
feet. In olden times rhinoceros' horns
were employed for drinking cups by
royal personages, the notion being that
poison put into them would show itself
by bubbling. There may have been
some truth In the idea, inasmuch as
many Of the ancient polsons were acids
and they would decompose the horny
material very quickly.

New York Feb. lone of the members
of the Spaldng faction in the National
League confirmed to-day the rumor that
the four clubs supporting Mr.. Spalding In
his fight had determined to play out a
schedule of their own IL the Freedman fac
tion held their present attitude.
1T is immateral." said he, what move
is made. Brooklyn. Philadelphia. Pittsburg
and Chicago will stand together. Further
more, they viii go ahead and play ball re-
gardless of any opposition. If the Freed
man faction will get this matter out OF court
it may be settled. If not the fight is likely
10 continue for the next ten years. A. G.

had few remarks TO make regarding tho
attempt Of Dale Gear. secretary of the
PLAYERS Association, to enlist the players
against the reserve rule.
When the Players Association was
formed, said Mr.. Powers, its members
forced what IS equivalent to two years
contract upon the minor leagues. The mo-
ment an opportunity came for them to
jump they wunt 10 other leagues right and
left. regardless of their secOnd-year agree
ment with US. We appealed to the Play
erS Association in this emergency, but. no
attention was paid to us.
There are sixteen organizations in our
associate Now that we mean to protect
our interests, begin to hear outcry
from the players. Mr.. Gears letter is not
worthy of consideration so far as it relates
To contract obligations between players
and leagues. About 1850 men will be em-
ployeG by our leagues this summer. Let
Mr.. Gear get out and find employment for
them if he doesn't like the way we are GO
ing to apply penalties to those players who
desert us. The fact of the matter is we
cannot do otherwise than we have ar
ranged. and the players have only them
selves to blame for antaSonzing the CLUBS
that give them opportunity to develop.
