A NATURAL RESULT
QE CQMPROMlS

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 12.-The COM
promise report on the electric head
light bill fairly Illustrates the usual
results of compromising. The old
engineers. who run the passenger
trains, were up here in force fight
the bill on the ground that it was
too hard on their eyesight. The
young engineers, who are largely
freight train engineers, and the
firemen, had the bill introduced.
and supported 1t almost to a man.
Now, as the result of the compro-
mise by the lawyers who cham
the bill, the men who did not want
it get 1t, and the young engineers
and the firemen, who We're anxious
for it. do without it.

Couldn't Fool "Honest Johnp Kelly.

Old Honest John" Kelly holds the record for freak doings among the um- pires. Back in the American associa- tion days, in a game played on the old Union grounds in Allegheny, Calvin was pitching for Pittsburg against Casey of the Athletics. Kelly was the umpires. In the ninth inning with the score 50 in favor of the Athletics, the first man up for Pittsburg made a home run hit to center, and the visit ing team at once set up the claim that it was too dark to play.
 The centerfielder came all the way in and pretended that he could not see the ball in the gathering darkness. Here" said Kelly, give me a glove" and with that he started for center field. 'TH see how dark 1t is out there,' he said. "You, Casey and Gall win, bat me out a few" Players and spectators gasped in wonder, but Kelly made good his bluff. He went out to deep center, and-with the smoke of the mills lying low about him-actually caught 10 or 15 long line drives and high flies from the bats of the two pitchers, without missing one.
 Then the umpire came in, and, talk ing off his glove, said Play ball If can see 'em out there you fellows can" The game was resumed and the Pittsburg team won in great bat ting rally by the score of 6-5.

MORE EVIDENCE
 ON BASEBALL BRIBERY.
tant Meeting of National League Today.

New York, Dec. 13.-Ban Johnson, president of the American league, an- nounced tonight that he was unalter- ably opposed to Charles w. Murphy Wards chief backer-becoming dic- tator in the baseball world. His poli- cies are far from being in line with the ideas of the men who believe in working for the development of base ball" said the American league presi- dent, "and will be ruinous to baseball if allowed to continue"
 Concerning the case of the attempt ed bribery of the umpires in the play off game between the Chicago and New York Nationals on Oct. g, 1908, John son said tonight that new evidence was sent him last summer. He will present this to his colleagues on the national commission for review.
 Johnson is not altogether satisfied that when the National league turned over the affidavits in the bribery case to the national commission all the pa- pers in the case were sent along. At that time a New York physician was accused of being the man who att tempted to bribe Empires Johnstone and Klem and was made the scapegoat. Johnson thinks that the physician was merely the representative of the man higher up" and he has evidence that
 
 go after this individual
 The national commission had two short informal sessions today Meet ings will be held tomorrow and on Thursday at which the new evidence concerning the umpire bribery will be gone over.
 The National league meeting is to start at 2 o'clock tomorrow. but the general impression is that the gath ering will be late in getting under way, as the board of directors meeting is to be held first and is likely to be a long one.
 John T. Brush of New York, on ac- count of i'll health, will not be able to attend the National league meeting, and will be represented by Secretary Fred M. Knowles.

WARDS ELECTION MEANS WAR
American League President Says It
 Will End Friendly Relations.

New York, Dec 13.-The American league simply will not stand John M. Wards being elected president of the National league to succeed John A. Heydler, according to Ban Johnson, the American league president, who arrived in New York today. If he is elected, says Johnson, it means war
 As outlining his position in the mat ter on the eve of the National league meetinf, Johnson made public let ter which he has sent to August Herr mann, chairman of the National com mission, who was instrumental in ending the differences between the American and National leagues in 1903.
 Johnson refers to the litigation be- tween the two leagues over player George Davis, in which Mir Ward was attorney for MT. Davis. It was all plainly a conspiracy. he says, and wanton violation of the peace past.
 American league interests must be considered and weighed in the con- struction of the National commission, each year.
 Tt is far from our purpose to say, or even suggest, who the National league should elect as its president,

The seasons plan of play for 1910 was outlined Monday afternoon by meeting of the Eastern division of the Interscholastic Baseball league, held at o'clock at the Crocker house in New London. Manager o. Eugene O'Neill for Bulkeley, Harrison c. Moves for the Norwich Free Academy, Guy N. Rich mond for Windham High and Henry M. Clark for Westerly High attended the meeting. Manager F. D. Parks of Nor gan school was absent.
 The meeting was conducted infor- mally. The question of umpires occa- stoned long discussion. New Lon don proposed Mcclure, but he was turned down because of his unsatis- factory way of keeping his dates last year. Westerly proposed Doyle and O'Donovan, but they were not satis- factory. Hull, the old Clinton umpire, was also proposed by Westerly, but the managers couldn't agree on him. Finally they settled on Nichols of Willimantic, whose name was handed in by Richmond of Windham High, and on John J. C.. Stone of this city, whom Moves of the Academy nom1- mated. Manager Moves was delegated to notify MT. Stone of the appoint ment.
 The pay of umpires was fixed at $2.50 per game and expenses.
 Having selected their umpires, the managers proceeded to make up their schedule. As decided upon this opens the league season on April 18th with the Westerly game at Clinton and closes it at Norwich on June IS, when Bulkeley plays the Academy.
