Louis Base Bail Club. IT BEATS THE OLD STYLE. John Kelly, who has been acting as an Association umpire, and Joe Quest, who has been giving decisions in the League of late, were discussing the three-umpire scheme last night at the Lindell. and their verdict was one of the highest commendation. "There is only one objection to it as it is worked now." said Kelly, "and that is the referring of the balls and strikes to the referee who stands behind the pitcher.

Put it any way you want to. the man who stands directly behind the plate at a distance of not more than fiiteen feet can better judge a ball than a man in any other position. If- is not bard to tell when the ball comes over the plate; no one can make a mistake in that respect. It is in the height of the ball that the whole trouble lies I certainly could not judge the beiuht of those balls which Hudson pitehed as well as I could if I was behind the catcher, and that is the only objection to the three men scheme. In the decisions on the bases.

though, absolute certainty can be had when the umpire is on the spot." "Yes," put in Quest, "both McQuade and myself were certain that Pfeffer was out at second base ana would have sworn to it. "He was never touched, though." said Kelly, "and was as safe as any man ever was." "What did you think of Hudson's pitching?" Kelly was asked. "I think-he pitched In great style. There's a man that is the best pitcner the Browns have got to-day, without a doubt. He will become one of the greatest in tbe business some day and it ain't far off, either." KICKING WHEN LAST SEEN.

Cbaklesioh, S. October 23. CongTess-rnan Tillman delivered a campaign speech Thursday at Johnson, which has caused a sensation through tbe State. Col. Tillman began by expressing the wish that he could talk cheerfully to the people, but, be said, "If I did, you would know I lied.

Tou know tnat the political and industrial horizon is not right. If I could but impress one thing on your minds to-day, I would think that I had done a great work. That one thing Is to quit paying so much attention to petty State and county politics, and turn your eyes toward "Washington, the seat of power. I do not liesitate to say that the election of your seven Congressmen and two Senators is often a thousand times more important than the election of Representatives to the State legislature. This State has no power, can do rtothina: except what Conerems chooses to legislate.

Look at your judiciary. It has practically the power now which was vested in the trial Justice courts belore the war. Your Governor Is on the same footing. He has no more power than the Sheriff had be fore the war, the only practical difference being that the Sheriff used to hang criminals, and now the Governor pardons them. Tne L'niteii States usurped all the power ouce Vested in the State.

THE TIMES HARDER. The speaker went on to say that cotton brought 8 cents when it costs 10 cents to make It. He stated that times were harder now than when President Cleveland was inaugurated. 'Why la he asked. "I maintain that it Is through the mismanagement of President Cleveland.

List of the Daily Receipts Hanager Spalding Talks He Discourses on Sis Generosity The Baldwin Business Clarkson Chats Interesting Talks for Cranks. When the Chicago Club and the President, Al.

G. Spalding, finished their supper last evening they held a consultation in front of the news stand at the Lindell Hotel. To say that Anson and Spalding were mad would be putting it mild. They had been effectually "done up" to use a slang phrase and Capt. Anson was taken severely to task by Spalding who also gave the whole club a sound tonne thrashing for the idiotic manner in which they had gone to pieces when the Browns began the slaughter.

To a Post-Dispatcii representative Mr. Spalding adopted an entirely different line of tactics than that which he used to the players, that is to say, in his very apt explanation of the manner in which the Chicagos lost yesterday's game. The trouble originated before the game, when it was proposed by Anson to pitch Baldwin, the new man whom the Chicagos signed a few days ago. This was objected to by Mr. Von der Ahe on the ground that he had undertaken these games with the understanding that his club was playing the Chicago team which had won the championship from the League in 1S6, and also with the understanding that no new man ehould be played with the Browns beyond those who had won the championship from the Association.

A long dispute followed between the two presidents, and as they could come to no agreement they decided to refer the matter to the Board of Umpires. Pearce was missing and could not be found, bo Kelly, McQuade and Quest undertook to dispose of the matter by tossing a coin. Kelly witndrew and allowed McQuade and Quest to do the tossing. Had Quest won he would have decided to allow Baldwin to pitch, but as McQuade was the luckier of the two, he decided that Baldwin should not be allowed to take part in the game. That much being settled, the story of what followed how the Chicagos were beaten at all points and most lnglonously whipped is told in the descrip tion oi tue game.

SPALDING'S STORY. Referring to the above affair, Mr. Spalding spoke last night in a very heated and excited manner. Said he: "You may thank me that there was not a riot in your base ball park to day: and to avoid such a disaster, which might prove ruinous to base ball for all time, I refrained from insisting on pitching Baldwin, as had been my original intention. I had a perfect right to do this, and Mr.

Von der Ahe had no business to interfere wltn me. Baldwin is as much a member of the Chicago Club as any man on it, and we signed him for the season of 18S6 and 1887 as well. I am not at all satisfied with the result of to-day's business, and I think that the action of Mr. on der Ahe in the matter was unsportsman like and wrong, and if the loss of this game in terferes with our winning the series, I think it wonia oe only ngnc to make some Kind of a protest against it." "What action could you take?" "Well, I ve been so hot and mrid over the way the club played ball or didn't play it, I snould say, that I haven't been able even to think of the thing yet with any amount of clearness. This day, however, has taught me one tiling, ana ttintisthati will never consent atrain to play games of this descrip tion with anybody for the money that is in them.

I thought it would be an incentive to the players to do their best by oflenng them half the receipts, but I see that it was dead wrong to do it now. They have become altogether too earnest and I think it very fortunate that the games have passed off thus far without any more serious trouoie man ttiac wnicii lias already occurred It is all very easy for Mr. Spalding to say he will protest yesterday's game, but how he is to do it is quite another thing. The agree ment according to which the games have been piayeu distinctly stutes tnat an questions in aispute between the two clubs shall be referred to the Board of Umpires, and that their decision shall be abided by. As a matter of fact this very question was referred to the board, and tneir deeision was eminently satis factory to themselves, an i they said as much last nisrht.

Therefore Mr. Spalding will find it ratner uphill work in pulling that decision to pieces. VON DKR ARC'S VERSION. President Von der Ahe had little to say about the matter beyond that it was manifestly wrong in air. bpaluing to spring apitcherupon him who was entirely unknown to both him and his players, who figured neither in the League nor Association championships and who would be a rank outsider in a family fight.

Inasmuch as he had not desired or offered to play an outside himself he saw no reason why the other side should do it. Chicago bad ob jected in the first place when a false rumor tiaa it teat Ramsey of the Louis-rilie Club had been engaged to pitch for the Browns, and although there was never the remotest possibility of any such thing oeing uone, tne iact snowea tue spirit or the Chicago people when they thought that their own tactics were about to be adopted. Mr. Von der Ahe said that he was satisfied with the manner in which the trouble had been disposed of and thought that nothing but justice had been done. THIS OUGHT TO SKTTL.K IT.

In view of tbe fact that the cry of "hippodrome" in connection with the base ball games for the world's championship has become universal. Messrs. Spalding and Von der Ahe have declared themselves ready to do all in their power to prove to the public that the games are played ou a perfectly square basis. Mr. Von der Ahe 9aid last night that the last thing possible for him to do would be to make an affidavit that the games were not hippodrome and that ne was only too willing to do that.

Mr. Spalding said that any man with a grain of sense in his head who had witnessed all the games will know without being told that they were played for blood, and know on the strength of manv things which caused the cry, that the games are square. In addition to all this the receipts of each game are deposited in the banks in the Joint name of the two Presidents and sub ject to their order. The players Know that the winning team will receive half of the. receipts divided equally between them, and one of the clubs must win a majority of the games before such a division can go into effect.

I liked his looks and I asked him how he would like to play In Chicago next year. He aid he would he glad to do it. I wanted him to practice with a club a littie so that Alison coul'l see at he was capable of doing, and so I told him If lie would stav in the city I would pav his board. he staid, and Anson, ueinif piea-ed with him.

A USELESS BOAliO. Why didn't the Board ot Arbitration settle the matter?" "1 give It up." said he.

shaking his head wearily. "When Mr. Von der Ahe and I couldn't agree, we turned the matter over to ihe board. 'Xhat was perfectly right because I had looked out for any complication and in my letter said they should have control of all matters in disoute.

The onlv way we can do with such fellows as Latham is to keep pitching balls they can hit and let them strme or foul out.

He was overpowered by the crowd, however, and the audience had almost dispersed before anything could be done. He continued to kick on the way to the hotel, kicked at supper and kicked to Spalding in the corridor of the hotel after supper was over. The vigor of his kicks, though, was without effect for the game was called by the umpire in regular fashion and all his protestations were without effect.

HE WASN'T WILLIE. An amusing incident took place yesterday when the crowa began to empty the benches in the lower division of tue grand stand. Pitcher Plynn is a little fellow, a very little fellow indeed, and just as the Chicagos were about to quit tho field somebody pointing to the diminutive twirler, cried: "Hello! there's Willie Hahn, the mascot!" "Where?" went up from five hundred throats at once. "There; look at him." Immediately there was a stampede in the direction of "Flynu. The little fellow was pressed and crowded and hustled and gazed at by never so manv eves.

"Is that Willie Hahn?" "Xo." "We'll, I know better. I guess I saw him in Detroit." "Oh, you're off your base." "Where is be?" "What's the matter?" These were only a few of the questions which resounded in the ears of Flynn who by this time was getting mad. Turning on his heel he eyed the crowd with a look of unutterable scorn on his face and said "Ah you fellows make me sick. I ain't no mascot." and the disappointed crowd dispersed. "They're de worst lot o' dubs I ever struck," said Flynn when he caught up with his own people.

TESTIMONIAL TO BUSHONO. Arrangements were made this morning to present Bushong with the testimonial subscribed for by his admirers on 'Change. Clay Sexton volunteered to be on hand with a Brown Stocking speech. The testimonial consisted of a soliJ silver set, consisting of a dozen dinner forks, a dozen tablespoons, a dozen teaspoons, butter knife, sugar spoon and pickle fork. In tiie case was a solid silver baby rattie witu a pearl handle.

The case is beautifully gotten up with hand-painted panel In the corner crossed with a white ribbon, bearing the wards, "To A. Bushong, Irorn his friends on 'Change. The rattle, was intended for the younger Bushong, and was selected as a foreshadow of the effect he may have some day upon the pitcher and catcher of ball clubs who oppose him. The set and tiie rattle were purchased of the E. Jaccard Jewelry Compauy, who have also made arrangements for the.

exhibition of the Wiuiaa trophy. What the Chicagos Say. Around the Lindell lobby this morning there was some lively discussion of the hippodroming theory. Some Individual was walking around airing his views on the subject in such a way as to reflect on the honesty of the series. Capt.

An-sou came up, and hearing what he was saving, gave hliu a piece of liis mind, which being barked up by a piece of body over feet high and more than 200 pounds heavy proved very convincing. Spalding dropped into the circle about that time. Anson's indignation hold a candle to Spalding's. The latter added but a few empna ic remarks, but his eyes blazed when he concluded with the offer to itlve any man 10,000 if he would bring him anv conclusive evideuce of hippodroming. JCST AFTER THIS SWIKPINO challenge had been made a Post-Dispatch reporter caught the manager's enr on the same subject.

"All this talk about hippodroming said Mr. Spalding. "Is based ou such ignorance of human nature that 1 cau scarcely bring myself to dignify it with a set contradiction. But I distinctly avow again that tiiere isn't a word of truth la it. Each club is playing for the entire receipt and nothing else, and when the series Is won the winning club will pet all the money.

these men that talk hippodrome don't seem to, look at the matter In a plain business light at all. Do they suppose for a minute that any men of standing In the business community like Von der Ahe aud mvself are going vo hazard our good name bv going Into a scheme like this? We have worked too hard to get jeoji Ver et a standing In the commercial world to pardize our reputations In this wv. rv likely Mr. Von der Ahe and I could lvn a quiet agreement to divide tha proceeds, but that wouldn't have been square. In the light of our pre-tenslous It would have been not only hypocrisy It would have been rank dishonestv.

"We have nothing to conceal in this matter.
