ROCBEST£R'S TEAM.

Almost Completed for Next Season—The Roster.

ROCHESTER, N. Y., NOT. 9.—Editor SPORTING LIFE:—The management of the Rochestera an nounce the following players signed for 18S7:— Biker and Bikley, pitchers; Humphries, catcher: Kennedy, first base; McKcan, second base; Knowles, third base; Cline, short stop; Connors, left field; Visner, centre field. Humphries will manage the nine, and will no doubt get good work out of them. A good hitter will be signed for right field, and with one more pitcher and two catchers the Bine will be complete. It looks like a batting team, and we think will prove §ncb. We know what McKean, Kennedy and Visner can do with the stick, and if. Cline, Knowles and Connors can hold their own with ttteir average of '38, I see no reason, why we should not make them all hustle. The chances are that AVest, late of Oawego, or Cline, of Syra cuse, will occupy right field.

The annual meeting of the International League will be held at Utiea Nov. 17. I see several name? mentioned as candidates for the presidency. How would tbe name of Holmes B. Stevens pleise the League? Mr. Stevens has no interest whatever in the Rochester Clnb. Ho h«a disposed, of his slock and is a disinterested party, and wonld fill the biil without doubt. He is well liked by the majority of the League di rectors, and would make an impartial and just presiding officer.

When the news reached Rochester that Dar ling had signed with Chicago and Morrison with the Mets, several long faces ould be seen, as both were expected to come here. Darling was un doubtedly the mi's! valuable man behind tbe bat in tbe International League, and if ustd well b; Chicago will make them a great mao.

Election of Officers—Sugges tions for (he League's

Consideration.

Special to SMKTIHO Lira.NKW YORK, Nov. 13.—The first annual meet

ing of the Executive Council of the National Brotherhood, of Base Ball Players was held Thursday, Nov. 11, at Furl's Hotel, in the city of New York.

The chapters were represented by the following delegate*:—J. SI. Ward, New York Chapter, president; T. J. Keefc, secretary and treasurer; Daniel Broathcrs, Detroit; M. Racket!, Kansas City; Samne! Crane, St. Louis; Ed. Hanlon, Cbiwgo (by delegation); Cliff Carroll, Washing ton; Chas. Bast: in, Philadelphia, in the absence of the regular delegate, Arthur Irwin, and C. J. Buffinton, of Boston.

Organization was perfected and the following offic«rs were chosen for the enduing year: J. M. Ward, president; Daniel Brouther«, vice presi dent, and T. J. Keefe, secretary ami treasurer.

A few modifications in tho internal workings of the organization were made, the more impor tant of which was tie making of the office of secretary and treasurer to be filled from the membership at large instead of confining it to one of the members of the council.

The report of the treasurer showed the finanses of the Brotherhood to be in a healthy condition, thera being a bilance of about $1,000 in his hands. The policy of the Brotherhood was fully discussed and carefully outlined.

The request of tha League that a representa tive of the Brotherhood be present at the meet ing of the joint committee on rules at Chicago next Monday, was received and acted upon, and Mr. Ward was instructed to attend.

In answer W a, previous request by the coun cil, communications were received from the presidents of tho various local chapters detailing their views aa to what changes in the playing rules might be aUvisable. The prevailing senti ment was that something must be done to sim- pl fj tbe duties tud resp- nsibilillrs of the umpire, aud that any changes that should be mad» with this object in view wa-? a step in the rl»ht direction.

This way be accomplipbeo, first, to a great extent bj Darr -wing the 3cupe of the umpire's discretiou and by waking 1m decisions deptnd, whenever possible, upon positive rule.

Among some of the sugxestiona which it wasthonght Wuuld accomplish tbu were the following:

1. In case of rain before the commencement of tb« game it shall net with the borne ilub to decide whether ''plaj" shall b« called, and in case of rain during tbe game tho decision to rest with the captalu of tbe noiiie club.

8. To prevent dispute ai to darkness, "plaj" to be called at least two hours before tuuaet.

3. Where a club ii forced, by tho schedule, to catch a train in order to pUy iha snccee<libg g»ine, "plaj" shall be called at least three hours before the tiute of departure.

4. All players to occupy the bench except when at the l»t and on tbe base-. No coachers ollim-ed and

The pennant was awarded to the Oneidac, and they stand as the champions of the League for the firet season. The treasurer's report was read and the business of the pist ysar settled up in a satisfactory manner.

SAS FRANCISCO, Nov. 4.—Editor SPORTIRS LIFK:—The Louisville Club is due at Central Park on Saturday, Nov. U. Manager Hart has written that he will stop over at Los Angeles, where they will pick up De Panger and bring him along. Mr. Hart say?, barring unavoid able accident, he and his team will be here sure on the date set. The list of players who come with him includes Amos Ooes, Foutz, Cook, Mack, Werrick, White, Hub Collins and Recciua. lie winds up bis letter ai follows:—"I bring n ne but pU.'ers uf good habits, »bo will tend to elevate tbe (time in ymr city and State.

The present season of tbe California League Is prac tically ended, and tbe directors will soon get to work preparing a schedule for next season.

Eugene Van Court, the once popular umpire of the California League, is seriously ill, and the Greenhoxl and Motani are thinking of tendering him ft benefit.

AN VMPIRB SUGGESTION.

The Southern Corps of Umpires Appointed —Minor Mention.

NASHVII.I.B, Tcnn., Nov. 9.—Editor SPORT- IN-G LIFE:—Considerable interest is manifested among local patrons as to the make up of our team forf ext year, and there is some misgiv ing as to whether a strong nine can be "gotten together, now that the League ami Association are making such inroads ou tho stock of young players throughout the country. However, the gentlcuieu managing the Nashville team have hail considerable experience in diaruend matters, and promise us a good team. The association has been corresponding with Ilackett, of Newark, Joe Simuions, Frank Mountain and others with a view to securing » manager for the team next year, but nothing definite has been done. Presi dent Morrow informs me that he bas appointed the following gentlemen as umpires Tor '87: W. C. Atkin- snu, Tony Suck, W. K. Rt>l>mjunl A. S. Moreland. The latter it well-known as tbe sporhug editor of the Pil!4mri Peatuj-Press. These gentlemen are all well qualified for tne poaition, bein« nit-n of character, o.nrtge and sobriety. Tony Suck is well-known lo proreîonald throughout the country as a high-toned, honorable geutlenmu, and a good bail player. If they can keep down the many unseemly wi angles next year which charactt rized Southern League games laat seaaou they will receive the plaudits of the public.

Kd. Dilution was here last week.. He was in good health, aud mnc!i pleased with his stay in Mobile. lie claims that he, Marr, Bittrnan, Beard and Pehellhafso have eigued with Sjraciuc for uext year. AH are to receive good salaries, Beard heading tbe list at $225 per month.

The'*a«on will open on April 1 with three garnet wilh Watkins' Wolverine?. The entire mouth of April will )>e devored to exhibition games, which it ia expected will be liberally attended.

Jack Sneed sent in his contract with Memphis last week. He is to manage and play right fi-old for the team. Jack is the nret man lo send in "his papers."

The Salt of Indianapolis Against Detroit Now on Trial.

DSTROIT, Mich., Nov. 9.—The suit of the In dianapolis Base Ball Association against the Detroit Base Ball Club is on trial in the United States circuit court. On the 15th of June, 18S5, a contract was made by which the Indianapolis Club agreed to release all of its twelve players for $5,000. Of this sum $2,000 was to be cash on tbe signing of the contract and $2,000 in cash and (1,000 stock in the Detroit Club as soon aa tho players should be transferred and

Three Important Meetings to be Held.

The Joint Rules Committee—The League Meeting—The

Smith Case.

This will b« on« of the most important weeks of the year in a base ball sense, embracing, aa it does, the meetings of the Joint Rules Commit tee and the National League in Chicago, and the convention of the International Leogue at I'lien. The Joint Rules Committee, which meets in Chicago on Monday, consists ot Messrs. Spalding, Rogers and Day for the League, and Messrs. Caylor, Barnie and Pholps for the American Association. Since Mr. C'aylor'd re tirement from the Cincinnati Club Mr. Byrne, of the Brooklyn Club, was asked to serve in his (Caylor's) stead, but Mr. Byrno declined and induced Mr. Caylor, who is peculiarly well fitted for the position, to serve. Mr. Caylor is very enthusiastic in the matter, and has devoted a great deal of time and tabor to the various ques tions that may come up for settlement. Three representative players from each organization will also be present to as sist at the deliberations, and express the sentiments of the players on the proposed change?. Captains Ward, Anson and Morrill will represent the League, and Swart- wood, Coniiskey and one other the American Association.

The International League meeting will ha-ve to deal with some very important matters. The first season of this young League was quite suc cessful and it behooves the delegates to so legis late that their success may be continued and the League perpetuated. Membership, guaran tee and other important questions, of internal economy will receive doe consideration. The membership for next Tear is the most important matter, as Newark and Jersey City—two good towns—ire making strenous efforts to secure admission, and there is a disposition to take thorn into fellowship. To do this either two of the present members must be dropped or the cir cuit increase*!. Other schemes in this connec tion have also been mentioned, but they are altogether too sensational and not worth space here.

SUBJECTS FOR LKASCE COXSIDERATiOII.

The great event of the week, however, will be the meeting of the National League at Chicago, which has been eagerly looked forward to for weeks owing to the many sensational rurr.o s that have burdened the sporting columns of the papers and befogged the brains of the sporting editors of the whole country for weeks and months. The moat important matter will be the membership question. All sorts of reports prevail about this. The apathy of the Kansas City Club in the matter of re-signing players and preparing for next season has led to the pretty general belief that that club was either I - apprehensive of

NEW ENGLAND LEAGITK.

The Outlook at Lawrence—General NewsNotes.

LAWBFHC*, Mas.*., Nov. 11.—Editor SPORTISO itre:—Thus eariy the indications are that Lawrence, which, by tbe way, is a pretty good ball town, will be represented next season by as clever a team as the New England League can send forth. Last year unfortunate and costly mistakes were ni'ile by those directing t'je management of the clc.b, which brought the ill- will of the public and the een-ure of the local press before the seisou was half over. This state of affairs, together with the mutiny of the players, Umicd to quickly decrease the interest in the National gumo hereabouts, an.l for a time it looked as if base ball would be dead for some years in this city. Indeed, had it not been for the skilful piloting of AVm. S. Kno.T, Ksq., now the popular president of thi< League, it is more than probable that the organization would have disbanded ere tho fii i.-h ol 18.'6. This g»iitlem»n, however, shewed that he was a practical enthusiast of the iliam. nd by persoiMlly taking to'd of the club, and, amid discouragements and obstacle.*, finished the season with eveiy player paid iu full and tbe very best of feeling existing between the n:anuK> meut and members of the club. The happy harmony at tbe finish has had a tendency to brighten the > urlook for 1887, more especittlly AS >he control of atfcirs Is now iri experienced and thoroughly competent bands, aud admirers of tbe game look torwaid to a mostsilcc«safu.I season for the clnti l.oie next year.

It is ni^re than probable that Pcttee, tho flue second, bateman of la-t year s team, will cover that position next season and al-m captain the club, as it is under stood he is anxious to play here. He bas recently married, and now r^Mes at Xa'ick, Ma*-*.

Fanning, who, the papeis state, baa signed with the Buff;i.!oe, m idea person;!! contract here and accepted money, several «9ek< since, aid it isesuected he will p!»v in Ij»wrence. He is one of the beat pitchers «ver in ibis Ltugne.

Ponovan, a Lawrence boy, who was taken from a grain ivagou, and made such a briliUnt record both In tue fiild and at llw bit this season, has affixed hu signature toan 'e7toaltuct. lie h>-il offers from Bridge- port and Waterbnry, Conn, Minneapolis, Uinn., but concluded to remain with his first love.

Goldsby Manager of the TopekasTOI-KKA, Kan., Nov. 8.—Editor StxiKTinr.

:—In a letter published in THE SPORTI.XG LIFE of the 20th ult. I mentioned among other notes that the Topeka B. B. Association had tendered a proposition to a well-known manager of the Southern League to manage the Topckas of 1887. The gentleman was Mr. Goldsby, late manager of the Nashville, Tenn., Club. But our offer came too late, as he had previously signed with tbe Nationals. lu the meantime Mr. G»ld*by had ci n>idrred our proposition, it being a most lib*ral offer and tbe handsome salaiy was too tempting, so much so that he bought hU release and is wilh us, having ar rived to-day. In Mr. Ooldtby we have a man that has established a repntati ID as a successful base ball man ager. For reference see the record of tbo Nashville? of tie Southern T*»gu«, of 1880. Mr. Goldsby being acquainted with the majority of professional player* will no doubt select a nine that will rapture the pen nant of the Western Lc«gue in 1887. Our defeat!) the Iast season was piiucipaliy due to poor Diauago merit and experimenting; lli« latter was a feature o every game played. ___ J- E. Y.

—The stockholders of the Binghamton Base Ball Association (limited) held a meeting Mon day, Nov. 1, for the purpose of effecting a per manent organization for the season of 1887 The following gentlemen were elected directors L. S. Carter, K. E. Kattell, W. 0. Phelp?, M. L. j Hollister and J. P. E. Clark.

iar attitude, all i<las helped streng; , hey have been gra<luaily dying out until a eek ago, when one or two of the PitUburg '

[allies started speculation anew by uncquivccal a'sertions of Pittsburgh undoubted desertion to he League. The fact that Kansas City has

made application for admission to the Western "'Cague has also added fuel to the JUme. The St. Louis League Club bas aleo been mentioned In connection with withdrawal, probably as the club has ieen elow In siguiug men, and bcc.mse it 9 thought in ci rtain quarters Hint tbe recent triumphs

of the Browns have i laced the Maroons under such a cloud that they have Lut small show in the contest for ocal patronage liext eeasou. The talk about Cincin

nati going into the League bas died cut. Nolhiig definite can said at this time as to wheiher or not tbe Kawas C'itys will be dropped or St. Louis Mill with draw, and all the gossip floating around the country about Cincinnati or Pittsburg being admitted to fill ihe alleged vacancy to simply speculation. Tbe chances aro that there will be no change at all. If Kansas City bas been slow it was probably owing to causes which have now been removed,a new party hav- ngsecnreda worXingmajirity in tho club.TheWestern League Kansas City Club will be but a junior organi zation, whi. b will occupy tbo Kansas City grounds

•hen the big club 13 away froai home. St. Louis, too, will no donbt gi on for another season at least. Pitts burg was, no donbt, at one period anxious to enter the League, provided it could be i?one on term? altogetber advantageous to hertelf, but recent events have, no doubt, changed that tune. So, all things considered, there is every probability that the lines will remain as now drawn. Another question that will be brought up, as usual, it the adoption of the guarantee system and the reduction of tlio adm?e.4ou rates. A good deal bas been said and written about both, but here also there is no likelihood of a chaage. The Eastern League clubs aie a unit on Hie former question, but as it requires a two-third.-) vote to b:in^ about tbe change nothing will como of the scheme. Detroit, Kansas City and St. Louis would be solidly ag.iinst it. The twenty -live cent rate plan will tin! no more su|>- porters than formeily, Philadelphia and S'. Louis alone being in favor. Besides tins the Sialoing :harge« against Arthur Irwm will tie acted u;oa; Snaldius's umpire scheme wiil be considered; dinnies in rules will be made iu accordance with the sngges tiotis of the Joint KnlesComruiitee; tae schedule com mittee will be firmed; the Detroit Club will take a >hy ot the Xe.w Yoiks in connection wilh the âilth litigation matter, as the legal proceedings cost the Detrolts ibcut KiX), and they wonld not ol jcct to !•?»• York reimbursing them; and, most important of al!, tbe "per* nal contract" evil will lie girtppltd wilh. This matt IT deserve* tbe mo^t serious consideration, and legislation thonld be m sliaped that under neither League rules or tho regulations of the Nar.ional Agreement v.-ill It be possible in future for any club to encage plnyers by otb^r methfids than those pre scribed by base ball rules. That the persona! contract sj«em shall be stamped out U a vital neces-ity, aud we believe the League, at least, will teat the matter as it deserves. These aro some of the more impoitaiit mailers to be considcrc-d. In addition n uch other business will be transact* d, all of which will b8 duly chronicled in tb:so columns.

BI.lXDEP.ISCl OVER S.M/TB.In this connection it may not be amis-i to refer to

the Smith case. A good many base ball editors wl-o should know tetter have fjlleu into error in this mat ter and have misli d their readers. One prouiinont paper s!ates that Smith will b« disciplined by tbe League for signing with Detroit and Sew Yi rk, and that be will b« prevented from playinx for a season at leas?. Another so-called sponiog taper cditoiiuUy sees in tho Smith case a cause of »ar between tbe League and American Association, snd still another beratis tbe American Association for permitting Baltimore to sign him at tbo risk of a rupture with tbe League. Parrot-like, their silly remarks have beeii taken up and have travelled up aud do\vu ihe country, not a dingle paper thut we have 8( ell trettiug tho matter right—nil because so- called sporting papers, nnicu claiiu to bo authorities, snd alleged sporting editors, who presume t> know a 1, got ,tuo mutter wiong at tl;e start.

LEAGUE BASE-RUNNERS.

Andrews Heads th» List—Some Interesting Comparisons.

The record of bases stolen by League players as gleaned from President Young's official report, shows some interesting comparisons. No player's averages were given who participated in leas than fifteen g*n)e?. Tee list given includes 128 names. The entire number of ba?»-s stolen was 1,42$, which makes the average number of bases stolen by each pUyer during the sear-on a little over 11. It must be remembered, however, that hardly one-third of the 123 men participated in as many as 100 games, while others played in less than 20. The average number of games played by all the players was 67, and the average niynber of bases stolen by each 11. Therefore, each player succeeded, on the average, tn steal* ing one base in six games.

The best base-runner in the League is An drews, of Philadelphia, who is announced to have retired from tbe ball field. Not only did he steal the most bases (56), but he participated in twelve less games than Ke ly, who stole 53, and in twenty lesn games than !lanlon,who stole 50 bases Ilankm is really next to the be»t base niriner.io- Msniuch as Kelly, while he has ftolen three more t»88M than Ilanloli.aiid participated in u'ghi loMgdmeivilaLds firil in the batting list, while Har.lon is only M. It to easy to s«c, thtreforc, thalKcllv has Imd a far larger numbc-r of c.pporluuili s tbanlimlon. A:dre»sis forty-fifth in the Imttlui! lint, but is not as succereful in icetliii); to Oral on short hiU or on ba«s on (mils as it Haulmi. It ia clear, therefore, lhnt tin J'-ung Phil adelphia player is entitled to be called tbe champion base-runner of the League.

Next to the above tlio ol racers ci>mts Kintord, OT Kunais t:ity, who IMS stolen 39 buses, although h« ftands»ixly-»ixtti in batliug order. Richardson bas stolen 42 Ins.t; Giawcock, :W; Ward, 3*, an 1 Carrcll, 31. Italian IMS stolon i'J. although hs is seventy- sixth in batting and ban played in but 1U4 games.

THB I.rfKY BROWSS.

Each member of the champions of the world ha» raccived a beautiful medal from the citizen* of St. Loan. Beside? being of » very niee de sign, they cost oon«derab!e money. Tbe back ground of the medal is a diamond. The top- piece is in the ihape of a crown, and U get with nine diamonds, surmounted with a band of white goll, in which there is a ball of the same metal. Suspended from this is a medallion head repre- eenting the coat of arms of the city of i$t. Louis. On the medal proper ia a half hemisphere of gold, with meridian lines, etc., on which are the words in black enamel, "The World." *he half hemisphere is supported by two female figures, which are made of white gold, and beneath are raised bats, crossed, and entwined by a wreath »f green gold. The enamelling reada: "St. Louis Brovtns, Champions of the World." On the re verse side of the tnedat an inscription reada: "Presented to (the player'i name) by the Citizens of tH. Louis.**

SCHMILZ'-S TRIP TO ST. LOUIS.

Gus Schmelz, the manager of th* Cincinnati Club, slipped in on me last Sunday morning,

pad his arrival eaujed considerable of a ruffle in the newsjiaper world. Just as if it wsts some thing awful that he should happen to come over from Colnmbns to St. Louis to get a glass of our good St. Louis beer and shake hands with his St. Louis friends. (Jus came over to get his whiskers trimmed, h:vd the work done, and re turned to Oiiumbus again. Schoielz's visit was a genuine surprise to some people, but when Harry Mikado Weldon was announced to arrive and didn't snow ap, everybody was disappointed. Wo had a Dutch brass band at the depot last Sunday morning, and intended to give both Solirnelz and Weldon quite a send off, but when the "ôld-headed cane" failed to arrive we would not allow the band to toot a single note, «• i the little pnwewioa that w«a «o hilarioos early ID the day qnietly dwpersed. Wellon, you are wickeJ! Yen knocked our fun io Ihe head.

At a meeting on the M inst.,wheu nearly all the stockholders were pre-ent, an election of officers waj held, which resulted as follows: President, R. C. Hewitt, and wcretary and treasurer, W. F. Hewitt. Messrs. fcanloo, Broughton, Burkett, Dowling and Cronin were eleoted as a board of directors. With the exception of Mr. Cronin, all are the same officers who presided over the affairs of the ;e<is«n just closed. Mr. Ready, who was on the board last year, give way to Mr. Cronin on the account of bad health and a pres sure of private business. Ilia health hsj been so bad for the past few months that most of tile time he hft? been confined to hU loom.

The meeting WAS a very enthusiastic one and all are full if iiopes fur (he coming season, and if any of them were dissatisfied they never be trayed their feelings, bi-t fell intu line and put their shoulders to the wheel to keep it rolling.

A policy for next year was adopted, and the result is that Manager uaJn-y goes into the work with unlimited po*«r, and in fact U lord of all. Thu, of course, relates to the strengthen ing of the team, and touch i> expected of him. The policy is also to strengthen instead of weaken ing the team, and by a full vote it was decided that both Hiuea aftd Shaw sbuuld bo gigm-d fur ihe entire seasou, aud that oilier player* now being nego tiated witn 8h ul.l be setflred.

He denied it em phatically and said that be had rtfnaed, M they wanted him to play for f 1,000 ; that's more than he is worth). I met him at bis boarding hoaee that eye»- iog, when be reiterated his furmer abatement. I told him to hold off until morning, aud in the meantime I would hear from both Rochester and Waaliiegtô. We parted, he agree ing on his part to bring an affidavit from He wilt that he had aigEttd BO contract with him at-d eigu the on? I held, and I shtnld give him the checfc.

It is very gra ifjiug to see eo many exchange! speaking in such commend* Me tones of tbe ability of our latêt acquisition — Mr. Stuart. Home consider his qualities as wonderfully developed, while others cou- bider him something of a phenomenon, but the best of ail is that they unite in saying that Mr. Gaffney baa secured a prize.

Jim Kuowlea, after having glYea Rochester hte terms, which were accepted, bin backed down, and, asI understand, has raised hut figures to the same club. This is hard to believe, as I have thought him to be an honest ball player and a man wbuse word waa as good as bis contract, aud I believe that if Maorigiual terms have been accepted he will play with that club.

Hiued fee'.s better over Ih'j prospects for next year, aDilbays that instead uf beibg jealous of Mack'0 battiug record nothing would please him better than to see more of them ia the top ranks next &ta on. He says that If tbe entire team last year that started in had b^tn above him in rank ae hatters the wind up would have Wen entirely different.

ent j ; _.__.. ^jjjuates in thi American Association and the National League there wiil b« some remarkable teams put tnt the field, but there is so much talk aJx>ut law and injunctions, and pers>nal contracts, anil broken promises, and false dealings, tbat it is very difficult to understand just how we are corning out.

One of th« »o*t tinguuur phafea af thij rough and tumble scramble after the players in th minor Lv i/ ' e big haul of Sib. mode by my old fri- of Baltimore. He credited wii.. . ...... players which, if correct,ocigbt to carry the flub belonging to the Monu mental City away up in the list next season. Mr. Barnie had an extremely hard row to hoe last summer, eve« being compelled to put on the uniform and get hi., hands pounded t > pieces all over again, because several of his men were in the hospital or th« next door to it.

But I am a little afraid we may have to) much of this new blood fever, which seems to be a w>rt of epidemic just now. Probably it de rives its chief nourishment from that splendid creature who happens to hold a small slice ol stock in th« olub, and naturally imagines that be owns the whole concern. In fact, I shrewdly suspect tbat much of thu craie for new men on the different teams is

"ALL os ACCXH-XT or THE DI-KKO-TOR," who u never so happy aa when he il showing what aa ass he cau be on^ll base ball matters.

Let us hope it will come out all right, and that the new players in the leading rival or ganizations will be able to prove themselves ai good as the men whose places they have taken. But I fear not, and I think your readers will find that many of the old favorites irill go into the minor leagues and play better ball than ever. Mark my words on that, and, aa my fat friend and erstwhile comrade 0. P. Caylor would say, "stick a pin there." New canvas and a fresh supjdy of sticks always makes a ship look well, b it if the vessel has not been overhauled b«low the water line she wiil not go any faster than with the old canvas and the time-worn masts sh'e has carried for so many years. We want a little good, honest scraping alongside the keel, and so get rid of u few barnacles, and not so miujh new material.

CHAXGTC3 IX THIS ASSOCTATIOX.

And 30 our Cincinnati chum, Mr. Caylor, has stepped down and out of the Association; like wise Mr. Hart. Well, wonders will never cease. What will Z»ch Phtlps do without Caylor, Hart and my poor self? No more "I'll jiae yer" for us three poor devils, henceforth doomed to stand outside the portals of ye chamber of debate Just fancy a meeting and no Caylor to explain tbe law; why I cannot see how Yen der Ahe or Lew Siuimoiia, Phillips or Barnie, Byrne or Phelps will reconcile themselves to the loss of 0 P. C. To be sure he calls attention to the fact that the placea of ourselves are to be taken by Messrs. Kelly, Scktnelz, Bancroft and Ferguson but that will not console our former comrades i: I know anything about human nature. Seri ously, though, I think everybody will admit that the changes that have occurred in the rf,r,!•«;,.nintives of the Association have croppei

Don't we, gentlemen? And I can heir Jimmy Hart say from away down South, and 0. P. C. exclaim as he stands on the banks of that crystal stream, the Ohio, "Yon bet we do, Major!" And ea Zach would Bay if he waa at my elbow—and how I wiah he was—"Let'a jine once more."

TOM ESTERBROOE.

And so Tommy Ettererook U to play, again with the Mets? That is where he would have been last summer could I have had my way, bat better late than never, and I am right glad Tom has got there at last. I saw an item in an afternoon paper to-day to the effect that Ester- brook had borrowed a leaf out of his Bermuda diary and hid away from the League people until he could, according to base ball law, sign with the Metropolitans. This may be so, but all I ean eay is that Tom waa about the worst hidden away man I ever saw walking calmly- down Broadway in the full glara of thU remark ably warm November sunshine that we have been having of late. Speaking of Tom reminds me that his taking the Mets' third base will no doubt place that most excellent player, Frank llankuison, in the market. If it does, my ad vice to Frank id to take things easy and not let himself be canght by the first anxious manager that comes along. Do a little nibbling yourself, Frank, before you bolt the hook, and it will probably be money in your pocket.

THB JTBTS *EXT S«A3OS.

From all I can understand, though Bob Fer- guaon is pretty close-mouthed, he will have a big team next year on the St. George Ground!. Bob knows what he is about, and if the director* of the Amusement Company will only let him alone, and not carry such long faces when games are lost, Bob mill pull through in good shape. What Fergngon has forgottex about bare ball would be a fortune to some people that I know of who think themselves out-and-out base ball oracles. But such wis-caores are as plentiful in the base ball world as blackberries In July. Mr. Fer- guiun l.aa often said to me tbat he much prefcned being an umpire t) managing u teftffi; but for all that he in uue of ihoae kind ot meu who,when they undar- tako a thing, go iu with a will. The Mew are fortu- nAte iu having so eurnc>st a worker and go good au ad vuer as Bob, and, utik'SH 1 am much mistaken, the team will greatly redeem tbemttdlveg the coming "Bca- •ou. For one, I will hurrah sa much aa anybody if they taplure the pennant, but they will have tu work for it, arid there must be no more talk about lack. I got enongU of tbkt luit summer, and it sickened me. Aa 1 said tafct week, the right kind of luuk is down right hard w^rk. If a team giêa in to win aud tries to get on top at the atart, it will be eaaier to bold the lead. Nuthiu.; is »u disheartening as to be iu the rear and follow >onr leader. An open track is tbu best. Oae thing is rjuhe certaii;, the Slots wiil be stronger than ever, and 1 aui hetrtily glad of it.

ANOTHER PARROT STORf.

That ia a very good story of Mike KeTly'a parrot, that "Eemlap," your Chicago correspondent lelte, an4 here's another of l Ire Bums sort f'T friend Paltuer't serap book: Years and yean ago tlu-re waa a noted tar rooai over in the Bowery whtre a pirroc had itg loualt*.

A SHARP TAP.

Ths I'Htnburg Organ Kapped Over the Knuckles.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 8.—Kdilor SPORTING LIFE: —Uasc ball certainly presents many pha*e«, but I think the s|i«cta:!e of an organ published in the interest of tae American Association ar guing a case from a League standpoint—and this, too, before the League or any member of that bcdy has made the slightest "kick"—for picturesque novelty rather hypothecates the huckleberry pie.

A Pittsburg sporting paper, published direcHy in the interest of the Pittsburg Ba«e Ball Club, furnishes this anomaly by mating a gross and uncalled-for attack upon Manager Barnie for signing "Phenomenal" Smith for the season of 18S7. Presumably it fears the effejt of two south-paw twirlera in one rival club, wben op posed to the left-handed hitters of their fayoritte. It has nof.tho tnanuood to make this avowal, hu ' ' iN gun and blazes away at a m ,ily without rfajnie or reason, i. ' v to ihe Iâiiue lefoie the L .11 really ,j ever have

' • *"•*• r: when left to theuitelve*. It is ikely, therefore, that history will i, >;, and thac the usual disappointments will be as common next riea^'n ad in the Dint.

While on this subject it may b0 noted tbat the local club officials are doing a wise thing iu holding on to some of the "old bio>d" until trial proves the vaiue of the new. There is not any too much confidence in the initial success of the

It is believed Boston has done an excellent thing in taking Conway. His effectiveness here wa$ handicapped by his catcher, at least it seemed so to most close observers. He appeared to have more than the ordinary skill, and, bet ter still, was a master of strategy. He was su perior to Kilroy in holding runners to bases, because he was equally effective at all of them. while Ki^roy wjs ouly successful at the initial bag. At second and third the runner could take the usual quantity uf ground on Kilroy, bnt i'oowa> caused tl ecu to display their uflcctioa b> hugging pretty cl'jflfly the d*ft> canvas.

Improvement at Both Gronnds — The Phila delphia Players' Combination— Off for the League Meeting— Barry Wright'g Suggestions on Changes In Rules— Cur rent Goscup.Complete stagnation baa set in in local base

ball circles, and nothing ia being done except the work at the grounds. The Philadelphia ground is rapidly advancing to completion, and it now lookd ad if everything should be in com. plete readiness for formal opening the first of next April. The Athletic people have also come to the conclusion that their ground needs a little repairing, and accordingly men have been set at work raising the eml and transforming th« run-ways into good cinder paths. Over a hundred loads of dirt were used last week in raising the infield and filling in the nollow about short field and the bases. When the work is completed the diamond will, in all probability, be vastly im proved. Bi.

TUB ATHLETIC PLATERS.

Neither club has done much in the way of signing add tiunal ptajers. The Athletics have secured the cont.-actd of Charles R. Brjnan, Jos. Miller and Ed. Flanng^n. Manager Bancroft is not troubling himself at all about signing the men, as his many business ventures in New Bed ford employ all hia time and attention, and he has willingly delegated the task of dickering with the players aiid signing them to Sbarsig, who is quite at home in that branch of the base ball business. Indeed, Mr. Bancroft is not likely to be seen here at all until early in the spring. He will, however, be one of the dele gates of the club at the annual meeting of the Association in New York in December.

DISSATISFIED PHILADELPHIA ME.1.The Phillies have signed no more additional

playere. Indeed if all we hear is true, the management will have' considerable trouble in getting their team signed without a big advance in salaries, as the players, excepting Andrews and Irwin, have formed a combination and in tend to hold out until their demands are com plied with. Only two of the players — Irwin and Farrell — received the limit tnia year we un derstand, and the others think this un just, They argue if these two players were w ,rth that much ty the club tbey eureij are worth us much, if not more.

Some of the Chicago Flayers at Dinner — Kelly's Literary Knowledge*

From the Chicago Sporting Journal.A well-known insurance man who has an

office on L.a.Satte street, and whose name ia omitted because he prayed, with tearful eyes, that it might be, is an ardent admirer of ttfee game of baae ball, and a short time agu he in vited the Chicago nine to dine with him at bia handsome residence on the North Side. Several of the members accepted the invitation, and a spirited discuîon ensued as to what they should wear. Will'amson advised the customary suit of solemn black, with decollete ve.-f.t, but ADSOQ was iu tavor of wearing full base ball ' ./uk- ing: "I am sure there can be n>, .tte drt-ss for a taê ball player th»n the t.aa covered with ghjry and grass stains wrnio lii'tiaig on the diamond fit- td of honor. As for the swallow-tail coat, I will have nnthinir tmio with it. The only tim T T , rtod

When they arrived at the deetijjitk'U at the hour appt.iinle'l they were re ceived with jovial enthusiasm Lj the boat and fcmiling gracinusuegi by the hoste*. The latter, a cnlturtd and rather aesthetic lady, led Ke.iy to a s^ta and pro ceed to talk literature and art to him. An«on f-at on the Hour and built block bouse* for tl.e bal>y, and Wil- lianidi.>n, G- re and Dalryaiple sat with their chairs tilted against the wall, looking very rtd and ill at ease. Atl three glanced tit their watches every few minutes until dinner was auu nnced when the reroid was broktn in the tirao tbat the dining rcom was reached. Here tbe fwstiviiies pioc*-e<ied iu lively style.

l '0f course we humored the boys," said the insurance man, iu iwlatina the t xperieiice, "but I waa amused with my wife's literary conversation witb Ketly.

To bace-ruuning more th*n anything else do the St. Louis Browns owe their superior record. How often last season would we see snob a record come in over the ticker as this: St. Liuis—Total 7, base hits 4, errors 2. Brook - lyns—Total 4, base hits 8, errors 2. Ball play ers nowadays must know what to do with themselves alter they get on bases.

BA9K-RI -XSIX8.

I am reminded that while in Chicago I had a talk with Kelly about base-iunninjif. It was on Tuesday forenoon alter the first game of the world's series had been played. Mike WM, of course, very exuberant, and professed a belief that his club would win four straight. I told him unless the Chieugos won three straight in Chicago they'd not have a sure thing of it by any means, and that it was not at all impossi ble for the Browns to win three straight in St. L .uis. lie asked me why I made such an as sertion, and my reply was because the Associa tion balk rule would handicap the Chictgo pitchers, and every St. Louis man who reached first would run away from tha Chicago battery. Kel was inclined to doubt the prediction, and said that the Browns' sliding was all done head first, which would result in serious injury to some of them soon, and that would check it. Ft'erTer made the same remark I believe in St. Louis. But the Browns have been doing this head-first sliding for some years, and not one of them has yet been injured to my recollection. I am inclined to believe it is the best of all ways of going into a base, it' it be not awkwarily done. The only danger is from being spiked in the hand, and that will not often occur. My observation hist year waa that the players of tbe Cincinnati team who slid feet first were con tinually skinning their thighs, i rodueing in flamed sores, and later, scabs, which not only put an end to their sliding, but lamed them up for other work. MePhee, Reilly, Mullane, Baldwin and Carpenter were all disabled at one time by that kind of sliding, while Corkhill and Fennelly, who went in belly-fashion, were al ways in condition to slide. I would like to hear tome of tbe players express opinions on sliding. It wo'ild certainly be of interest to the profes sion and to your readers to get the boys to use your columns in discussing the science of sliding.

LOCAL JEWS.There is very little news in local base ball af

fairs. President Stern has signed seven young players besides Jack Boyle. There are twelve reserve players on the elub list, which amounts actually to twenty players on the elub roster. Six or seven of these must certainly be disap pointed as to permanent engagements, for I know Mr. Stern too well as a shrewd business man to believe that he will waste auy money in the way of excessive salaries. I know for a positive fact that he is negotiating with Prc'i- den- Von der Ahe for Hugh Nicol. A St. Louis paper says Mr. Stern offers to exchange a player of tbe Cincinnati team who has made quite a record in his position. I can't make up my mind exactly aa to the player's identity, but believe it lies among Jones, Keenan and Bald win. I know that Mr. Stern is a great believer in Hugh Nicol as a ball player. None of the old players have as yet signed save Jones and Baldwin. The rest refuse to consider a con tract before spring in the absence of advance money, and that Mr. Stern positively refuses to give to any reserved man. Mr. Yon der Ahe ha' been in tbe city several days this week, and went to Columbus from this point.

AICOTHER PAHROT STORY.

RemUp shall not monopolize all the parrot literature; and if I promise to relate no future story about the talking bird, you'll let me off easy, I know. Well, Carpenter has one. He got it in New Orleans—bought it from a bird broker. He had no idea who had owned it previous to its sale to the bird dealer. But Polly had a habit for a long time after Hick got her of yelling to every roan who entf-red the house, "Five dollars, [jhase.' One day he gave Pol a lath. She submitted without a murmur to the scrubljiutr, but aa soon a* he let go his h'lld she gave one flutter au>l yelled: "Sou of »——. I'll get even witu you." The day Uitk lost bis head and also the 1 to 0 ten-inning game with St Lcnia be weot home fet ling miserable aud disgusted. Just a* he stepped io the door bit* l&rr< t yelled "rate,' and Hick fainted. I realize what an inferior parrot it ia c- nipared with Keliy's, but such aa it it, you have thin short biographical sketch.

TBE LEAGUE MEETISS.

It is suggested that tliere will t e an effort made at the League meeting next week to change the per cent to the guarantee system. Isn't it tunny or rather curious that abût the time the League clubs are agitating the guarantee system the Association clubs are discussing a coange to the division of re ceipts system? It is even so,aml at nearly every rec*nt mt-etiDg of the Association that question hxs come up. and at one not a year ago came within one vote uf carrying. The reason for it ia the Sunday question. I taktt tt BOW that the Brooklynn and Cincinnati* would voto againrt a division policy. It is not sure, however, tiiat every other club would not advocate it. 9t. Louis wonld te foolish not to ndvocate it. Look ont for a chance surprise in the premiseo.

sorts.This h the rime of year you know when the hoys of

the profesh lead blushing brides to the altar. What with leading blushing brid< • to tho altar and pre serving snow balls the boys for the most part have a busy winter before them.

Just hint to Mr. Day that thn might be a good time to approach Wlllie Buck Ewtng with a contract for 1887, salted with a bit of ndvan'e money. Bnck has met with an accichmt. He attended the 0*Loi>ry- Warren fight and backel the wrong «nd. H« <1ump*Mi heavily of hia harij-earnt-d wealth, and dumped in Ken tucky also. All this gu«» to prove that John Kelly in wrong when h« says: '•This •porting life to one con tinued round of pleasure."

By tho way, have you seen Kel Intr-ly. Jim Hart's excursion to the Pacific hai nearly broken up Joha's scheme for a hard aud soft combination trip to "fieuth- oaste-rn Ark»uj*H>* "

em a^t th »ugh I was bound tu u o idrie's ti>ei every time I write anything;

'•'. mn SPORTING LIKE. ""• - ' morrow'jedition comes out I exêyt : „ takingme to toflk for any of my *\ rt - f as fortunately a series of failures to oucnect preventedmy weekly screed from reaching you last week.

I went over to Cam bridge on Fridayi to tune iny voice in the Harvard an-

-. ......y chorua, and time flew so fast therewith my old college chums chat evening had come and waa well along before I remembered that I had not finished my letter. And then when it was ready for the mail I foolishly in trusted it to a me.-senger boy to take it to the depot as the mail had left tho post office, and he tarried by tho way to take in an embryo prize fight, and uii&rd the train. So not oue of T am SPORTING Lrrs't* correspondents found any thing in last week's issue for *hich he could jump on me. Not so the week before. "Mat," my dear lellow, you evidently don't like the scheme to take the home receipts. Well, I don't blam* you, as I suppose you voice tha sentiment! of the Detroit Club. Perhaps the weather will be "inclement when aueh a scheme is consum mated." That is generally the case about the middle of November. Perhaps you think, old boy, that you have set tled tho question, but if you are down in Chicago next Wednesday I imagine yoo> will hear something mitre about the "tale" yua think "President S<>den has poured into my at tentive ear." It would be the strangest thing in tbe world if Detroit did not obje ;t to the plan, as it would reduce your bank account tremen dously. Perhaps you fear the Detroit team cou d not possibly live with .ut the percentage of the receipts at games playeiawav *'- T :•. I understand that you will have th _TB cities with you in what they w Uy think an Eastern scheme. And it eertuiniy ia aa Easeern scheme, which, as you ?iiirgf?t, I think is about the ''proper 0=1 per." The West ern club-i carry away money from tbe East. I mean by that they take away more than they give up in their own cities. Novr, in at! fa i men, friend "Mat," isn't it just that fora while the four Western members of the League should try to support themselves, and not draw upon the East to keep their teaois going.

FACTS AND FrGPRES.

But I might keep on talking like Kelly 's par rot without proving anything. Figures, how ever, mean something, and L havo got a few whijh. I am going to give for "Mat's" benefit, while "Remhtp" and "PritoharJ" may also be interested in them. Every Western club received more money from JB wtun during tbe seas<>n just closed, than they paid to oar nine out of tho receipts in their cities, and with exception of Kansas City, the difference was very great. Only two clubs paid the Bostons more than they got in the Hub. These were New York and Washington. Our team opened the season in Xew York and Boston received a percentage of something over nine thousand admissions, This game made the balance in favor of New York. Now to show that I have got socuething to back up what f ha ' ' ' it Boston's has* ball patrons helping ; teams in the West, I will give a ic. i ..„,.!„. laattell the truth, if it is disagreeable to my Western friends. Presi dent Sodtn very kindly allowed me to look over his book ia which he keeps a statement of hia club's dealings with every other in the League. I copied fr^m tb-it bo- t us he called uff the tigiuva, tbe amounts tlie I'wtou Cinb paid evtry W<-attru team, and what the Bi-stouj received ID each Western ciry. I h*ve the*e figures befure me now and b^n is what tbey show by taking tbe oiflvrenea betwten the tw>; amounts ia each case. The B< stoiis i-aid Detroit $.1,128 60 more than thej received aa their abate of the gafe T^ceiu; s ia the Straits CTrty. And this, too, with > no gnrae not }-l;*y<*J in -oflti'D, which would h*ive iacrâaed »hs balance in Detroit's favor. Tiu-n the St. Louis ( hib £0t 81,7.58.7-3 more here th,.n ii paid fWtoo. Chi cago's exchequer was increa-e-l bj? ^1.216.33 by tbe B stoa 8*T!*-9, although '"-nr Diiie p!ay«d i.j ih^ Wiudy City i,n ih>- Fourth of July The C>wl,n>i, too, had th-* beet of their s«rnea wuh Boston by $7ii3 35. Thpy did iuati a game h-jre whtc'i WftiUt have helped cut their ti*u:cB. By a iitde niatht'tuaticat caieuUtion, which requires uu gr«;tt knowle- ge of the higli^r brunches of the science, anyone who will afee the trouble to add np the fiû e* will niid that John MonitrBiuttti put ^6,847.05 mor« into the four Western club tretwiirieo th*u the B Bton triumvirs received from thtrse cities. The balauc** I uieutiunod ia lavor of New Y< rk abd Washington reo- c^d these figurea slightly, but at ill tlte Boston teim yaid visiting clubs to, 740 80 more than they receivtd as their ^bare of the g»te rf-ceiptx while pUying away from home. If Boston la not a ball town, I (Lu't know where JOB will fiud one.

STAR SCINTILLATIONS.

The Team Getting Into Shapo Slowly Bot Surely.

STRACITSB, N. Y., Nov. 12.—Editor SPORTIXC LlFe:—We are gradually getting out of the woods and can begin to get some idea as to who will play ball on our team next season. Beard, the celebrated short stop of the Southern LeJgre, ha8 sent his contract back with signature at tached and will be found among the SUr flock next season meandering around short stop's p-iaition. President Miller gives it as hia opinion that the three catchers signed will fill the bill. Buckley we all know to be »« artist in that position. Shellhasse comes with con- .-Mernb!e of a record and Male id well spoken of both as a back atop and a bitter.

"Crowing Den," unfortunately, can only be heard one week longfr at McCaull'8 Opera House. Tbe comical bird will leave many re gretful friends in this city. There ia a change in the cast this weak. Miss Post joins the "Don C&sar" company at K*>che*ter, and Miss Josie Kn:t. • '" " ' o. Mias Kn t spring, whe:. ._. ._.., ._ :.__ ...... r ._.j. .Miss Postwill only remain away a week. She will appear as Maritana on Monday evening, Nov. 22, in the grand revival of ''Don Cgesar/' a role in every way worthy of a priina donna who has such a widely popular reputation.

"Don Caesar" was the closing production of McCaull's last season. It took the town, and disappointment almost amounting to indigna tion was evinced when the Colonel took the opera traveling after a season of only two or three weeks. The cast then included Madiime Cottrelly an! Bertha Rieci in the leading female roles, Hopper as the comedian, and Charlie I>ungan us the minister. MUs Post will replace Miss Ricci, Mi*s Annie Myers Madame C'ottrelly, Bigby Bell Mr. Hopper and Edwin Hoff Mr. Durgan, the laet named singer having left the JluC'aull Company. The complete "Don Ciesar" cast includes Signor Peru- gini, wbo ia the only principal remaining of the original company; Laura Joyce Bell and George Oiioa, replacing Genevievs Reynolds and Moutitjoy Walker. Tbe opera has all the es sentials to gain the publi'; ear and eye. Tlie m we en scene is artistic and effective, and the cos tumes not only costly but in harmony with the suppose! era of the story. Madaine Cottrelly will, of course, be greatly missed. Pueblo is one of her best creations. I hear, however, excellent things of Miss Myers.

Miss Gertrude Griswold, the late.'t acquisition to McC»ul!'s Opera Company, was in the city for several days this week. She is a soprano of the first rank, acd sang prima donna asitu!nta rulti nith great success in Paris and in the principal cities of Ilaly. Her Orphclie ia Am- broise Thomas' opera received more praise than Christine Nillson's, for whom it is said the music was written. Miss Griswold ii a young aud charming American girl, with, an assured posi tion in the best society. Her debnt in Chicago, where she is to sing in "Loraine," will probably be of the nature of an ovation, and her high artistic reputation ensures her success wherever else she travels. In presenting such a singer Colonel McCaull only give-< additional proof of the high plane which he always has maintained, and iuteuds to continue throughout his com pany.

A nether engagement of McCanll's is that of Miss Tibby Drew, niece of Mrs. John Drew, who will join the "Mikado" Company and appear here as P??p Ru. Mi'3 Tibby is as pretty af a peach, as everybody will ailow who has seen her this week at the Arch Street Theatre in "Odd, to Say the Least of it." His Japanese Majesty arrivts in South Broad street on the 29th of the moi:th. The costntne plates for "Loraine" and "Indiana" arrived this week from London, painted by the well known colorist, Percy An- ilerson. "Indiana" is Audran's latest produc tion, ind will be given by Colonel McCaull in the course of the season. It is now running at the Avenue Theatre, London. The libretto is by H. B Farnie, and the plot is founded on the ad ventures of a young American woman, "In diana," during a visit to England.

"Odd, to Say the Least of it," the new Eng lish fare* produced at the Arch Street last Mon day, waa not a euwese, but it brought to the front a young actor, Sydney Drew, who I think will stay there. The trouble with "Odd, to Say the Leaat of it," was that as a farcical comedy it al lowed audiences to yawn between lauglu. Tbe first act dragged a little, although it ended in a caprtal situation—the abduction of ae aged bridegroom by his rival. The second act was as bright and funny as it need be, and the third act lacked incident as well as interest, for the end wa< foreseen from the beginning. Mrs. Barrymore, Mrs. John Drew's daughter, looked better than I ever saw her. Mrs. Drew's pretty little niece captured everybody with her roguish face, and Sydney Drew did all that he could to make a rather tame piece go.

Tbe repertoire of the American Opera next week at the Academy is as follows: Monday, "Faust;" Tuesday, "Orpheui and Enrydice;" Wednesday evening, "Lakme;" Thursday matinee, "Lohengrin;" Thursday evtning, no performance (the Academy having been pre viously engaged); Friday, "The Flying Dutch man;" Saturday matinee, "Aida;" Saturday eveniug, "Bal Costume," grand ballot by Rubin stein, preceded by "Galathee," a two-act opera by Masse.

In a recent issue of THE SPORTIHR Lim T aHudedto the stage mi^treês of several Kogiish n« Meiuen. A co-re-pocdent fends me a few s.nge wives, lieîliiig the list is a future flu;,'he*s, the Countess of Eu^ton, wife of the eidffst s-'n of the Duke of Graft on. She w»s> only a few nig it* on the stage of a tow variety Theatre in l.omlon, but lon^ enough to capture vith. her florid beauty the noble young prodigal, who lia* for ye*irs been bruwsing on the husks of rep<mlanee Next in the gaule of rank comes a present marchioness, the wife of the Murqais of Ayiesbary, better known as Vi^countesa âver- nake. the title she wore before her husband in- hp>~ited his grandfather's coronet. She was Dolly Teater, a chorus girl of tie Strand Theatre London, and the dtugluei of a small biteer, Another Vi.-counfess is Lady Hinton, wife of the son andheirofEurl P.'Ulett, dhe was Lydia Shippey, a footlight*upirf but as the noble Vi?euant at the time of hii marriage was playing clown at a fifth rate theatre, a&d is now d >ing treadmill service in a Metropolitan pri(>on for swindliu?, the ques : tion of me.-alhan.je hardly appears. However,-he will be the wife of one of England's heredi tary legislator) unless the Viscount is hanged Mute hi* father dies A little lower in rank, i>nt equally chnrming dames are Lady William VeiBer and Lady Henry Meux. Both are wives of barr,Tiet«, Lady V. having been formerly Ho«e Wilfon, chorus girl, and Lady Moux. Vaterie Keeê, super. Lady Meus and Lady Savetnake became nieces by marringe of tbe preitenr Due hen* of Manche*tert mother of Lord MandevilJe, whom everybo«iy knows in Ne*r York. Lady Meux was de.-irous ot making Lady Savernake's acquaintance, which she managed on a race course by sending her gro'im to invite the Viscountess to "split a soda and brandy."

The greater portion of the wealth of the present Lady Uurdett Coutts was inherited through another tt;i£3 wife, the late Duchess ot Sr. Albans, but so exemplary WHS her conduct on and off the stage that the Queen of William IV. rattde three Heps toward her when tbe duchess w*# presented at court. The late Coimtesi oi E*$ex was another actress who was a otedit to her sex while on the stage and an honor to the coronet she subsequently wore.

The National Theatre next week belong! to Mr. John A. Stevens, who announces that he is supported by a company of "American" actor* in bis powerful and picture.-*que play, "A Great Wrong Rig'ited." There are two English lords, a counters, a clergyman, -Mr. Moses Shad- rick, two detective*, Convict 1240, and a lapse of eight years between the probgue and play. Tbe synopsis about explains things, so here it is:

Pr.-logue—Fur Mother's Sake. "I'll stake my life uj on ui >th* r'is honur."

Act I.—Be.-.lisnc 9cen« from prwon Iffciti Australia. The whipping post. Tbe ecnvtcts' revolt. The DyDftnirte KxploHoa. The Conflagration. "Thabk Gu+J, I've 9»vi_-d tb*-m."

Act V.—Home again. The blind mother. Tbe conspirators. "Ahl these sightl* s» eye*." "Bhihaid Bright ta dead, tut Keou«-th EUwded still lives,"

de&oaeioent, A Great Wrong Righted.

How ifl that for high even for the National?

"Hoodman BlinJ," also a melodrama, will b* presented at the Chestuut Street Theatre this week. It waa written by Wilson Barrett and Henry A. Jones, and the title is said to be m«r?ly an antique form of "Blind Man's Huff," and appear* to have beeu aaggetted by the lines in "Ham let:"

1 ouisrille, .. _...., ,.n .-lared the

winner upon ft technical point at the end of the twelfth round. O'Lear/ maiie a gallant tight, acting on the aggressive throughout, and inflict ing the most punishment. Warren was in per- !'u..f ...... ijtion, while O'Leary looked pale and

. anil he was thought by the critical to - n trained down too fine. There wag

13 a u hour's wrangling over a referee when Chic" Cawthorn was named. At 2:0j p. M. tho

almost Mmultaneoualy appeared in the ing. liilly dale, the long distance pedestrian, nd Jack Millet, of Cincinnati, being behind 'Leary, while Charlie Marshall and Ed Mor- ill looked after the welfare of Warren. AU reparations were qui.-kly concluded and the attle between the midgets commenced. ''Lcary was the firjt to make a break, ut the blow fell short, and tben to he cloê of the round the men indulged o cautious jparring, Warren particularly acting; n the defensive. The hitting was likewise ight in the second round, both men seeming fruid of experiments. In the third round, how- ver, O'Leary started off in a lively manner, n-3 after four attempts, gave Warren a sort of ickening punch in liis stomach. He then made rush at Warren and swung his £.«ts right and

eft. Warren did bat little execution, but he still held a big favorite. In the fourth

roand Warren hit O'Leary a fearful blow in the aw, whijh nearly sent him off his feet, but the alter recovered, and in a rush planted a stinger

ion the mouth of Warren, and first blood waa timed and allowed for the Cincinnati lad. In

he fifth round Warren commenced wrestling acti?s, ami putting on the hold known as the lang-lock, badly winded O'Leary. The latter's econds claimed foul, an! had the referee lived

up to the rules strictly, the fight would hare leen given to O'Leary. Honors were even in he sixth round, no severe blows being given.

seventh round was one of the best of tho ight, both men doing great execution. Tho lighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh rounds were inly ordinary affairs, but in the twelfth and last 'ound some desperate exchanges took place, and finally Warren got his left arm around O'Leary's neck and commenced to haul him around tho •ing. The referee shouted break away, but both

men were excited, particularly Warren, who lelivered a stinging blow above the ear of his

adversary. The referee at this time stepped >etwecn the men and cause! them to separate. J'Leary's seconds claimed foul and also those of rVarren's. During the excitement O'Leary waa aken to his seat, and afterwards was told by his econd, Billy Gale, to get ouUide of the ropes,

as his claim would be surely upheld. O'Leary returned again in a fe.w moments, but his leav- ng proved disastrous to his hopes, for Warren's

seconds claimed the fight on his leaving the ring, and produced a copy of the rules governing the same. The referee, after some deliberation, de clared Warren the winner of the fight. Tho correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer says:

"It will go down in the auuals of the prize ring M one 'f the greatest swindles on record. It ij only sec ond to the notorious Mace-iXburn -Barney prize fight izzle in Canada several years ago, where all who at tended were robbed nrily t-> gee two men look at each >ther f<* two honrd without striking a blow. The sat-le was a miserable affair, and nine ont of everj itu men who attended it beiieve it to have been afixed iob to ekiu tiruixispectiug suckers out of gate noney. Be that port as it may, it was cer* aiuly a ladh-managed affair from the start to the finish. The decision cf Keferee Chic Cawtliorn

living the ngbt to Warren is looked on as little less tha:i ro'.bery. It was not the desire ut the people to see the ft.;lit decided on a t*cbnic.il point. They wanted tbe contestants to go ahtad aud contest to a finUh. 1 ho referee would have done the li^ht thing bad bo ordered the men to fight on. Caw thorn is an Inenpern need man, and he showed he w aa nervous while deliberating on his decision. When he finally announced it he did it in a trembling voice. Five or six responeible men are willing Io muke. affidavit that Cawth >rn sail foul when Watr.-n struck the blow, and that tbe fiaht therefore belonged to O'Leary. It is doubtful if the history of the ring can j.roduce such a br.izt n diare.ard for the comfort and convenience of the crowd as tbe manage.!* of this alleged prize ngbt. They were on the beat from nr&t to last. Money waa what they wanted; a fight w as but a secondary con- sldf ration."

Dan McAuliffe, one of the backers of O'Leary, con- teuda that his man was sick fur three days before the fight, and that a bottle if medicine was found among the fighter's enVcts. The Cincinnati backers of the man wanted the fight put off, and that is the reason why objections were raised to every m^n named for referee. Ftaritjg trouble, however, they were forced to put O'Leary into the ring. It is also claimed tbat O'Leary was r'o^-d and shumefuMy handled while training. It is Paid that he was hardly given the

of life, and ran about the streets almost txirefootej.

Ono of the most desperate ring encounters that has taken place in the vicli.ity of New York for many years took place in the Metropolis early in the morn ing of the 12th inst, between the feather-weights Billy Davis and Jack Kenny, for a pniso of $260 sub scribed by tbe spectator**, who belonged to a local ath letic organization. ThÛtten fought with two-ounce gloves aud it waa to be to a finish, but after fighting thirty-one rounds both were so utterly exhausted that it was agreed to declare the affair a draw.

From all appearances Frank Hearld esciped another beating on Nov. 8 through the intetcerbion of the police, lie was matched to spar Jake Kiirain, of Bal timore, a decidedly clever big man at the eld Herring Bun race course, near Baltimore, for a puneanJthe- gate receipts. Some 2,500 pcrions were present, and everything indicated a successful iwue. Doth puci- listif were in pnmelconditioa, Hearld stripping at 178 pounds and Kiirain at 180. William E. Hard jug had been previously selected as referee. Kitrain began the work in a spirited manner, aod placed three wicked blows npon bis opponent's face in ra-.id succession, and bringing the blrod each time. Hearld then com- mencid to ruab, but Kilraiti dodged th> m finely and tben clinched. Upon breaking away Kiirain delivered a tecrible blow upon Hcarld'a Jay, lauding him squarely upon bis back. At this time the police ap peared and stoj'ped the contest. Th-> referee decided the fight a draw, and the receipts, less expenses, were divided between the principals.

THE PHILADELPHIA CHAMPIONSHIP.

An Easy Victory for BurrU—Bulloek -in Poor Form.

On Thursday afternoon last Edward Burris and Thomas R. Bullock pliyed for tbe Phila delphia cbampionahip at the former's room be fore about eighty spectators, which was a much smaller nuniber than wa* expected to bo present, in view of the fact that a very close and interesting contest was looked for. Indeed, there were many of tbe opinion that there would be two or three hundred spectators present, for it might be well to state tor the benefit of non-reaideiit^, su;h as those unfortu nate "kusaes" who are obliged to live in Jfew York, Chicago, St. Loui3, Baltimore, Cincinnati, etc., that these local contests giveu in the vari ous rooms here once each month during nine months in the year are free, and gotten up only with a view of keeping up the interest in local billiards and creating a friendly rivalry between the Quaker expert*.

AU thiags considered, it was probably quite ag well that the attendance was uot larger, for the game was about as tame, ona-sided and un- interefting as it well could be, owing to the wretched condition of Mr. Bullock'a piaj* It would be unkind and ungenerous to criticise Mr. Bulloek for not doing better. He not only was in bad play, but he had bad luck ali through the game. He did his utmost to fight ag&mst the fates all through the game and entertain all present to the best of hia ability, and no man could do more. On the other hand it ia to be regretted that there were not throe or four hun dred amateur players present t? witness the magnificent game played by Mr. Burris. This youngster played with great steadiness, great confidence and very great ability, Tbat he ia more than a match at an even game with Mr. Bullock there is but little doubt, and that he will keep the emblem in his possession tor some time to come, unless it ia captured by Mo- Laughlin, is equally certain.

The score at the close waa 275 for BorriB to 122 for Bullock. The latter WM to play 300 to 275 for the former. Bullock's best runs were 10, 15 and 16; best runa by Burris, 15, 15, 22, 27, 28 and 30. The game waa the 14 inch balk- Hne, play el on a 5x10 table. The winner's average was 5|. Christian Bird was referee, and \V. L. Rockhill marker. Nearly all the prominent profesaioaalB in town were present. The next challenge should come from W. L. KockhilL

He firit appâri-d. in a 300-p-jint fiame uf straight carcms with Jacob Pletcher. He played 300 or no count At the outset he showed pretty play, but nothing spe cially remarkable natii th« game seemed about half over, when he got the balls in podtion, nursed them down one side, across the end, up tho other side, tbe other end, and part way down the side on which he started. Some distance short of the starting point he made his 300 and stopped, while the spectators called to him to g-> on and make 1,000. It was beautiful play, wonderfully delicate aud accurate, and there was no apparent reason why he should nt.t go on as long as he liked.

BurKe. one of the members of tbe University foot ball te:ttu, has sufficiently recovered so as to take hii place on the eleven, but Beecher, the indispen.-uUe quarter back, is laid up with a disordered stomach. No more practice games will be played by the University team with any college teûi, as ail the principal colleges have played with Yale. There is no truth in the re port that Peters will resume his old position as centre rnsh. Tha uniforms for the eleven have arrived. They ooneist of sweaters, with an old English "Y" on them; brown canvas jackets, mouse colored t'uetian knee pant*, blue stockings and long bine Citps. The New York aiumni of botli Ya!e and Princeton are making strong efforts to have the Thanksgiving game played in Xesv Y'ork on the Polo Grounds. Mofl'nt, the captain of Princeton's team in 1884, and Bird, ihe captain in 1S8>, are endeavoring to be ap pointed referee iu the coming Yule-Princeton game, they claiming that a Princeton ruin should act aa refereo this year, as Walter 0. Camp, of Yale, '80, held the position la?t year. On the Vale campus the nmtniinous opinion is in favor of Ca;cp as referee.

Ap|iiica,tijn was made to the chair man of the committee for a right at this scarce document, but it was still traveling about the country. This gentleman said he believed the club "as eligible, though he could not remember now its constitution read, bat a like opinion was expressed on the Fox Terrier Club which was clearly not eligible. Of course mcmbeij of the A. K. C. jomiiiktee are not advised on these sub ject', the ouly communication eomiag l-.efjre them being a circular to the eiieet that the <?-nn- mitcee on credentials hare acted favorably on the application of tbe ———— Kennel Club and a vote is requested. Now what does the proprietor of the "pewter medal" club know about the eligi bility ot the club he is asked to vote upon? Not tbe first fact and neither does one out of six of tbe member?. They suppose it is all right•imply because they do not know that there ia anything wrong, instead of being convinced that it is proper to vote for admission before doing so.

This ramt committee was so particular that they threw out tbe New York Fanciers' Club, because, they said, they must draw the line lomewkere, oblivions of the fact that their duties were no! to draw lines, bat to see whether tbe applicant was qualified to become a member•—that and nothing more. Now they have en dorsed the Stafford Kennel Dub as a fit and proper association to join the A. K. C. The committee has no evidence to produce that it is eligible under the A. K. C. constitution, and those members who have already sent in their rotes to admit the club will now be glad to hear from Mr. August BVcont, Jr., what kind of a ihow they had at S.afford Springs.

neat and creditable advance on last year's issue. I am glad to see these shows doing well, for they are to be our shows of the future, with the big ones sprinkled among them like plums in a padding. There arc fifty-four regular and one miscellaneous clashes, and in all but one or two the prizes are $5 and $3, with $3 and $2 in the exceptions and the puppy classes. Mr. Frank D. Halle'.t writes me that the club has assur ances of ample support from the Connecticut breeders, while many from New York, Phila delphia and elsewhere are writing for premium Hsts. Entries close on Dec. 4, and the show is to take place on Wednesday, Thursday and Fri day, Dec. 15, 16 and 17. The committee has wisely decided to give exhibitors until one o'clock to bench their dogF, whereby visitors from as far East as New York can travel through on the morning train. Judging will commence at two o'clock, and with a little expedition can be completed that afternoon.
