n DEALS are the stepping stones to
IA progress and perfection. Though
idealists are not always referred to
In complimentary way, the man Who
is an .dealist in his business without be-
ing self-conscious of the fact is the
man who always does things both for
himself and for others, as well as for
the industry III which he is engaged.
These idealists, the salt Of the earth ia
the business world. are broad-minded,
comprehensive men, thus being far
from idea,lists IN the ordinary accept
ance of the term. They are idealists in
the sense of being grand masters in their
vocations. Thus John Wanamaker, of
New York and Philadelphia, a national
character in all public affairs, is the
concentration of ideaism as general
store merchant. . The word calico is no
more familiar in the mercantile world
than is the name Wanamaker, and at
tention to detail, a species of idealism,
is accountable for this While this
country is full of wideawake, up-to-
date. progressive and masterful trot
ting horse breeders, this calss of busi-
ness men IL not. generally speaking.
over-attentive to detail. nor do MEM
bers of it give their horse business the
minute and masterful care which ap-
proaches the ideal. One of the most
conspicuous exceptions to this rule is
George Stengel, owner of Elkwood Park
Farm.
With no self-conscious design upon
the title MIR. Stengel has become a
finished idealist as a trotting-horse
breeder Close study of the speed
producing problem and comprehen-
sive understanding have landed him in
the front rank as u blood line expert,
and an innate quality, added to by
cultivation, has made him master of
the situation in the business; hence it
is that Elkwood Park Farm is not only
stocked with the very best blood in the
land, but is conducted on business
system not surpassed by the system of
any bank or mercantile business. AS
a result, Mr.. Stengel has the confidence
of all who know him, and many of the
sales of the farm products are sold on
the sight unseen" plan. His band OF
brood mares, while not large, are as
good as the best, several being in the
great brood mare list. These mares up
to last spring have been regularly bred
to Axum, a royally-bred son of Axtell
(9), PIP and Mr.. Stengel very recently
purchased the 4-year- old stallion Baldo
go, 2:22%, at cost of $1,000, to breed
to his fillies by Axum, believing that
the cross will produce early and ex-
treme trotting speed

NEW YORK. Feb. Il.

" 4 JIM II GU. l.
II began to look today like an all
Il week session OF the National League
magnates. The solons of the older
baseball organization have been at log
gerheads for three days over the play
ing schedules. and today were apps
rently no nearer a solution of their
differences than when the session here
began.
One prediction from a well-informed
source before the magnates resumed
their debate today was that the sched-
ule announcement would not be made
before Monday next. The club presi-
dents took up proposed amendments to
the constitution and let the rival sched-
ule propositions simmer. 1t was hoped
by anxious fans, however that before
the league would get down to the play
ing dates business again and settle the
dispute.
The leagues voting strength as the
session was resumed was understood to
be equally divided between the long and
the short schedule. President Brush. Of
New York, is understood to have been
won over to the side of the 154 game
season adherents, voting with Messrs.
Hermann. of Cincinnati; Dreyfus. of
Pittsburg, and Dovey. of Boston. for the
short season. Against them for the 1885,
game proposition are lined up Messrs
Ebbets, OF Brooklyn: Murphy. of Chi
cago Robinson, of St. Louis, and Fogel
of Philadelphia.
There We're indications today that
neither of the schedules prepared in ad-
vance would be adopted in its entirety
The Hermann Brush -Dreyfus side is
reported to have offered compromise
to the Murphy Ebbetts faction ono
proposition being to close the season u
little later than the short schedule now
provides for. allowing for games on Co

appreciation of the services of Mr.. John

No greater tribute than that could be

sro gthe Sporting Editor of the Evening STAR:
Kindly decide the following question;

Dremel and Helmstetter:. II 10 .524
One team that made a poor showing
AIT the start withdrew from the tourna-
unent. For that reason I<lugman and
iSedlack were not able to play them.
rThey, therefore, claim three games by
forfeit which would make them Is vic
rories and defeats. Celert and Morse
claim first place because they played all
rheir games, and Dremel and Helmstet-
ier claim second because they also
finished all their games. Klugman and
sSedlock claim first place for various
Teasons, especially because they have
a better record than the rest.
You have answered and decided
many questions and we hope you may
slbe able to settle this and satisfy the
three teams mentioned. We leave it.
sall to your judgment. Hoping you will
answer and give your correct judg-
unent, for which we thank you in adj
vance, we are, yours truly,
COMMITTEE, per L. Klugman.
My decision would be to throw out
nil the tournament games played by the
team that dropped out and decide the
race by the standing then. 1t wouldn't
be fair for Setback and Klugman to
claim the three games by forfeit when
the other teams had to play for them.
and it would be just as unfair to give
all other teams credit for games
against the withdrawn team, when
Klugman and Setback didn't have a
schance to win or lose a game to them
This seems to be the fair solution of
the difficulty.-Ed.
