BASEBALL.
BELIEF THAT THE sPALDING CLUBS WILL
WIN THE FIGHT

There are indications that the controversy be-
tween the Spalding and Freedman factions in the
National Baseball League has been practically
cioseo. Mr.. Spalding. it appears. arranged affairs
IN such satisfactory way during his recent visit
TO Chicago that he and his friends feel that no
1urther campaign is necessary. Mr.. Spalding has
gone TO the Southwest for a short trip but he has
not lost his grip upon the throttle by any means,
Tor the reason that he has appointed c. D. White.
Ior elght years president of the Eastern League,
his personal representative look after any base
ball troubles that may coms up during his absence
Mr. Whites address is No. 149 Wabash-ave., Chi
cago. where all communications will reach him.
Mr.. Spaldings move in leaving the of ac-
ton in such confident manner is regarded as a
particularly bold piece of business in view of the
many influences at work to bring together the
warning factions. For instance. the proposition of
John B. Day to have committee of three, includ-
ing Mr.. Young. Mr. Spading and himself. run the
affairs of the league and thereby arrange a truce
is out of order, for Mr.. Spalding some time ago
outlined his fight and since then has had no
reason to change his plan of action.
The fact that Dreyfuss was in Chicago is signih-
cant, for In his recent letter to Mr.. Spading he
stated that he subject to telegraphic call
from spalding any time. Apparently the tele-
graph was used, with the result that Dreyfuss
came out with his strong and positive statement
that he was with Spalding TO a finish, and. II
also said that to wait for decision of this thing
in court FOLLY It might m o5 not Of Ge b ne
view given out by Mr.. spalding in Chicago is eyi-
dence that the plan of action has been outlined
that there will be baseball play next season and
the National League will be in the game for Mt
Spading has stated positively that Plttsourg, chi
cago, Philadelphia and Brooklyn would go through
the intact.
Spaidings fight all along has been for the reor-
ganzation of baseball with certain fragrant evils
out In this fight Spalding has had the sup
port of organized ball all over the United States
He has had not only the backing Of one-half or
the National League clubs, but also OF the Aneri-
can League and the National Association of Pro-
fessional Leagues. which comprises fifteen minor
port remains to-day strong as it was in the pc
ginning, If not stronger that Spaldtng feels that
whatever moves he may make between now and
the opening of the playing season toward the far
therance of his plan will meet with the approval
of organized baseball and the public at large.

HARVARD-YALE DISAGREEMENT.
PROPOSED FIVE YEARS COMPACT NOT
FAVORED AT NEw-HAvEN.

Cambridge, Mass, JAM 2.--It is understood at
Cambridge that the proposed plans for another fve
wears agreement between Harvard and Yale are
not progressing smoothly. The unofficial story Is
as follows:
Harvard has proposed 10 Yale a five years agree
ment with an arbitration committee to decide all
questions OF eligibility. but Yale is unwilling to
accept this. Yale wishes five years agreement
with each college playing under its own rules
Harvard does not favor this contending that Hales
eIishility rules may be entirely changed IN the
next five years under her present system of under
graduate control of athletics.
Harvard does not think ii fair to bind herself to
an agreement by which Yale could play men who
would not be eligible at Harvard. The cases OF
O'Rourle of the Yale football team. and Spraker,
of the track team, cited on this point 1t seems
Unless Yale should consent to an arbitration COM
mittee which is generally considered at Harvard
TO be perfectly fair and for the best interests OF

OPPOSITION TO THE BILL TO LENGTHEN

Considerable opposition has been manifested al
ready 10 the bicycle bill introduced at Albany
by Assemblymsn Brooks. The bill was introduced
at the instigaton Of the chairman Of the board OF
control of the National Cycling Association which
has control over bicycle in this country and
provides:
That in bicycle race. or other contest Of skill
speed or endurance. wherein more persons
shaH be a contestant or contestants. 1t shall be
unlawful for any contestant continue in such

for a longer time than eighteen hours during any
twenty-four hours Contestants who violate the
section. managers who permit IT. are to be guilty
of misdemeanor.
Just what action the League OF American Wheel
men will take toward the bill is uncertain, but It
seems unlikely that II will sanction such measure
after the trouble the officials had to get through
the present law. which prohibits wheelman from
riding more than twelve hours day in a six day
contest. Many wheelmen are of the opinion that
further proong the agony would be mistake
