What Schmidt's H0ld.Out Has
Cost.

THE value of good catching to
baseball team cannot be
emphasized too strongly when
important factors in success are
sorted out. Very often the mar
gin by which a great pitching
staff fails to "click" into cham
pionship form is the difference
between real genius back Of the
bat and just good mechanical
backstopping.

aging a strong National League
contender. Barney Dreyfus refused
to pay Schmidt stars salary. al
though this young man was by
far the best catcher in the Ma
tional League last season. Glib
son, once a great catcher himself,
disagreed with Dreyfus on his
penny-wise. pound-foolish policy.
The Pirates became demoralized
and circumstances forced Gibson
to quit.
In presenting his resignation,
Gibson reminded Dreyfus Of the
tremendous cost Of Schmidt's hold
out. The club owner, remember.
ing previous disagreements with
his manager on that subject, for
got Gibson's many loyal years Of
service to the Pittsburgh club and
promptly accepted his resigna-
ton.
Gibson, the victim Of malcon-
tents and an owners stubborn
ness. has gone to his home in
Canada to reflect bitterly on the

There has always been a rea-
sonable doubt as to whether Rick
ard could get Leonard and Ten
dler together in New Jersey or
anywhere else. Benny's recent
fights have not been encouraging
to his friends. His right hand
must be handled with care and il
1t isn't in good shape, Benny will
not risk his title in the same ring
with Tender.
While the bout was tentatively
set for Boyle's Thirty Acres, Rick
ard has the Velodrome to fall
back on if there are too many
obstacles to the bout in Jersey.
1t is said that the famous arena
on the other side of the Hudson
must undergo expensive repairs
before 1t can be thrown open to
the public again. The Velodrome,
while seating only one-third as
many persons as the Jersey City
stadium. could easily produce a
100000 gate" and that Is prob
ably as much as the bout would
draw in Jersey.
In the meanwhile, put your ear
to the ground and listen to what
the professional opposers are
cooking up for Dempsey and Wills.
1t will make the other squawks
sound like faint whispers.

Unique Display
of Art in Home
Seen at Waldorf
First Annual Exhibition of
Art-in-Trades Club to
Open To-day.

Having as its sole object the advance
ment OF better interior decoration in
this country the Art-in-Trades Club to-
day will open its first annual exhibition
at the Waldorf-Astoria. with an inter-
esting display of home furnishings set
in their natural surroundings The ex-
hibiton will be open until October %
from 10 to and from 8 to 1890, Sun
DAYS from l to r. NJ. The press view
held yesterday disclosed unusual and
absorbing art. Breakfast rooms in old
English oak. quaint Colonial drawing
room in unfinished pine and boudoirs
in soft hangings of old rose are some
of the features.
That the exhibition is given in much
: sincerity by the exhibitors rather than
from business purposes is manifest by
the fact that no printed advertising mat
ter is given away by any of the eN-
hibitors and that no effort will be made
to sell any of the material on display.
A number of exhibitors who planned
their display with a view OF ignoring
this. regulation were asked to withdraw
their exhibition.
The most valuable single object in the
exhibition Is the breakfast room from
Hamilton Palace which is being shown
by +. w. French & Co. 1t was removed

Lanarkshire. Scotland. the last year,
and is masterpiece of oak done IN
the late seventeenth century. Walls
hung with sixteenth century red velvet
and Renaissance tapestries add TO the
luxury and enhance the richness Of the
time stained oak.
A drawing room taken from an old
Colonial house. done in pine and fur
nished with mahogany Is the decidedly
valuable contribution of w. x J. sloane.
A Queen Anne room also in finished
pine and an English music room with
French influence are shown by =. a.
