sorry Of every crooked race through the
field up to last Saturday 1t Is said also
that an attorney has been mixed up with
this gang of turf pirates who have operated
at New Orleans, also barber who raced
few horses In his name at that place last
year and at other points, including New
port.
A New Orleans whisky drummer Is also
among those implicated. and last. but not

1t was the woman who had much to 90
with the undoing Of the pirates. The meet
ings. at which the steeplechase races were
fixed up, were held at her house, and she
was let in on the good things. Her sue
cess emboldened her and she kept increas-
ing the size Of her wagers. Finally. it Is
to bet on Bristol in q recent race. but she
received a bunch Of phony tickets for her
money. When she found out that she had
thus been punched she let out an awful
squeal and made threats that she would get
even with those who had feeced her. 1t
was her talk that let the cat out of the
bag as to the meetings Of the gang.
More than that, there was a split-up be-
tween the chief high binders. A roll of
money. so the story goes. was given to
colored jockey to divide up with his fellow
bunch to himself. That caused discord in
the ranks Of the jobbers. and two factions
developed among them. This Is only part
of the evidence which the stewards are
said to have at hand. The grand finale OF
the scandal Is yet to come.

From the New York Sun.
A dispatch was received by the Sun from
Indianapolis last night to the effect that
John T. Brush. in conversation over the
ong-distance phone with Ban Johnson.
president of the American League, virtually
closed deal by which the Cincinnati club
will desert the National League In the
event Of break in the latter circuit. The
dispatch also says that Brush when asked
II the deal had been made, declined to talk
This Is In line with the story in the Sun on
last Sunday to the effect that Brush had
made a proposition to johnson by which
the American League could increase Its cir
cult of ten clubs by the addition Of New
York and Cincinnati, the substitution OF
Pittsburg for Cleveland and deals In Bos-
ton and st. Louis by which Soden and
Robson. respectively. would be protected.
AS Johnson is opposed to a ten-club circuit,
it is possible that Brush has made another
proposition by which Cincinnati could buy
the Cleveland franchise, and New York
supplant either Baltimore or Washington,
the American still remaining an eight-club
organizat ton. Johnson has just completed
his schedule. which shows no change in the
American circuit. But schedules are easily
drawn up and provisions could be readily
made for any changes that might be deemed
advisable at the instance of Brush. 1t was
at the league meeting here last December
that Freedman, according to the minutes,
admitted that the American League was
run in more business-like manner than
the National. and that he had certain
amount of admiration for Johnson & Co.
This opinion appears to be held now by
National League men. with the exception of
O. H. Ebbets and John 1. Rogers. AS
Brush and Freedman are known to the
anxious to eliminate these men from base
ball, it may be possible that the Brush
Johnson scheme will do the trick. That
Brush and Freedman do not want to con-
tinue In the National League another sea-
son seems now to be foregone conclusion
If New York and Cincinnati jump to the
American League. A. G. Spalding's threat
to drive Freedman and Brush out of the
National League will have been made good
Then there will be plain sailing for those
who wish to place a new National League
club in this city. In fact, Spalding's reOr-
ganization plan VIII go through without a
hitch. If Johnson turns Freedman and
Brush down and there is q truce between
the warning factions in the National
League, 1t can be said now that the clubs
which have been standing by Spalding will
be compelled to accept the terms of Freed
man and Brush without q mut mur. This
means that they will have to swallow the
