Cincinnati Reds Manager Tries
to Resign.
The Manager and Officials Hold
a Conference.
M'PHEE NOT BLAMED.
Teams Poor Showing Not Laid
to His Door.
Greatest Worry is the Light
Gate Receipts.

Cincinnati. May 2s.-The Commercial
Tribune says: It has leaked out that
John A. McPhee was willing and
anxious to resign the management of
the Cincinnati Baseball club one day
last week. He conhded his intentions to
President Brush and Secretary Lloyd,
but these gentlemen persuaded him to
hold on to the reins assuring him that
neither public nor critics were laying
the failure of the Reds up to date at
his door, It required some hours talk
however, so the story goes, before Nc
Phee was convinced that 1t would be
wise for him to continue at the head OF
the team.
That McPhee should feel discouraged
over the teams showing is to be ex-
pected. If the conditions were such that
he could hold him self responsible for
the teams shortcomings, then it would
be different. but such is not the case.
He took what was handed him, and has
done the best he could with it. If the
team is to be a failure this year, 1t IS
because it is not strong enough to hold
its own in the National league, and not
because the manager has failed to do
his duty. McPhee has given absolute
satisfaction. He has tried hard to drill
his players to play scientific ball, and
at times at least the team has shown
signs of this instruction. The club never
had any intention of dropping McPhee-
He will remain its manager as long, as
chance to resign even when he wanted
to. The yarn that Joe Kelley had been.
or would be, secured to manage the
team next season, was really too absurd
to require contradiction. Kelley, If he
ever comes back into the league viii
have to be purchased from the Brooklyn
club, not because he was dissatisfied
with his surroundings. but because he
has always had a strong desire to play
in Baltimo ore, his home.
Furthermore, he had chance to be-
come magnate If Kelley leaves Balti-
there. and that is not liable to occur, for
Baltimore is making very good showing
in the matter of attendance this season.
Kelley or no other man could have ac-
cOmpHshed more than has McPhee. Had
he been placed in charge of one of the
strongest teams in the league. a team
which figured to be near the top from
start to finish, and it had failed, there
might be some room for complaint, but
such was not the case. 1t was a tail-end
aggregation when McPhee took charge,
and it has not been materially strength
ened since So he has simply accomplished
all that could be expected of him The
fact that the other teams in the league
were greatly weakened this spring made
it appear that the Reds, who had not
been molested by the American league
raids, had a chance TO improve their po-
sitiOn. And so they will, for it is not
likely that they will be in the last berth
when the procession ends next October.
If every thing in connection with the Gin
patrons of the game as McPhee's man
agement, then there would be thousands
in the stands every day instead of a few
hundred.

BROOKLYN WON BIZ RE1NA.
The Great Handicap Winner Was a
40 to / Shot.

New York, May 26-Under ideal con
ditiOns for great running race, the
Brooklyn handicap at GraVeSend was
won Saturday afternoon by Arthur
Featherstone's 4-year-Old chestnut Ally
Reina in 2:07 at 40 to 1. with O'COnnor
up Reina won by a short head, leading
home thirteen of the most noted racers
of the American turf. Advance Guard

fought hard with PentecOst for third
place, but finished fourth. and Mono
graph, the western horse thatvhad raised
high expectations, after lea1 lg for the
first quarter of a mile, dropped back to
fifth place at the wire.
The winning Of the race by Reina not
only upset all calculations of the
shrewdest guessers, but also broke a
tradition. She is the first mare to win
the Brooklyn handicap. Only a wise
few picked her to win. An hour or
more before the race, when the first
book on the handicap was shown in
the betting ring, Blues, Herbert and
Advance Guard were the favOrites in
ing to and to 5, while Herbert was
4 to / and s to 3 and Advance Guard
at almost the same price.
A few moments after the bugle sound

race passed up the stretch, single file,
each handsome thoroughbred bearing
its rider dressed in gay colors. The
horses passed to the head Of the stretch

Russell County Populigts.

Russell, Kan, May 26.-The Peoples
party county convention Saturday
chose delegates to the state, congress-
iona1 and judicial conventions. Vim. Z.
Saum Of Hays was strongly endorsed
for judge of the Twenty-third judicial
district and r W. Turner of Manlato
for congress Of the Sixth district. The
action of the Democratic state conven-
ton was discussed and generally ap-
proved, except that resubmission was
made an end Of the referendum plank
instead of a mere incident to the gen
eral principle of direct legislation. The
sentiment was general that each con-
vention act for the best interests Of the
matter before it, regardless of what
other conventions do in the matter of
fusing. Russell county has four dele
gates to the state, five to the con-
gressiona1 and six to the Judicial con-
vention. Alvin Wilson, the father of the
Alliance movement in Russell county in
1890, took part in the deliberations
