Childs tonight in a six-round contest at
the American club. Martins perform

far superior to that of Childs that he
made the latter look rather cheap. Dur

chances and contented himself with
keeping Childs at distance, where the
Chieago man could do no damage
Ch1lds tried in every way to land a
Knockout, but Martin used his long reach
to such good effect that Childs' efforts
Were generally about six inches short
Of the mark. In the first two rounds
Childs was unable to land a single blow.
Martin would run in and prod Childs in
the face with his left, and then dance

NEW YORK, Feb 4-Both factions in
the National Baseball league are now
satisfied to let the case pending in the
local supreme court come to trial before
any further action is taken
The resolution adopted by the Spalding
faction at Pittsburg, after indorsing what
Mr.. Spalding has done, says it would be
unW1se to take any decisive action when
1t Is presumably only a matter of a few
days before the courts have passed upon
the points at issue. The Freedman fac
ton has always asserted its desire to
let the matter be decided by legal proc
ess.
1t is certain that efforts are being made
to bring the case to speedy trial. Both
discordant elements now realize that the
National league will become but mem
ory II something is not done at once to
give the organization standing with the
public. No more inopportune time could
ever have come for a factional dispute,
as the National leagues loss has been the
American leagues gain.
Meanwhile belief here grows stronger
on the part of many important baseball
men that some movement is on~foot by
which the Cincinnati and New York
clubs will become members of the Amert-
can league, and that the other two MEM
bers Of the Freedman faction will be

league is expanded.
Undoubtedly John T. Brush, of the Gin
cinnau club, has been in consultation
with American league officials, and be
has been given full power to act for the
organizations which he represents.
If the National league quarrel should
be settled, presumably no action of this
kind would be taken, but the Freedman
clubs are laying the ropes to pro-ect
themselves in case the dispute is con-

That the New York club could have
gained admission to the American league
last autumn Is fact, but Mr.. Freed
man refused to desert the National
league.
He still declines to discuss In any way
the possibility of the New York club
joining the other organization, and his
refusal to commit himself in the matter
has led to the belief that there is some
thing more than mere rumor to the
story.

ATTORNEY TELLS PITTsBURG MAG
NATE THAT sPALDING WILL WIN.

Barney Dreyfuss from his attorney, w.
A. Northrup in relation to the injunc-
ton proceedings of the Freedman Brush
faction of the National league in re-
strainipg A. G.-Spalding from acting Us
president
Attorney Northrup stated the hearing
viii be held in New York on March 3
or 4, and indications point to a favora-
bic outcome for the Spalding clubs. Mr.
Northrup int1mates that If the court
holds the election of Spalding legal the
case will probably be thrown out, and If
Freedman and Brush desire to follow
this up, which they probably will do,
the case will be taken to the United
States courts.
the meantime Mr.. Spalding may act as
president, for no injunction can be Sc
cured against him until the case is fled
Ii the New York court dismisses the
present suit Mr.. Spalding will probably
continue to act as president during the
baseball season.
President Dreyfuss says that during the
conference at Hotel Schenley Saturday
there was no peace talk between the
warning factions. He also said he does
not look for any move on the part of
either faction until the court has made
a decision of the injunction proceedings.
reports from New York to the effect
that the Pittsburg club had asked for
admittance to the American league were

Dreyfuss discussed the four-club cir
