By Increasing tho mileage, however, but two datos interfere with loaguo games, and twelve Sunday games aro insured hero. Tho conflicting dutOB ore as follows On September 13, whdo tho league club plays tho New York nine, Minneapolis will bo pitted against tho Wostcru Association club here. On September 13, when Anson Co. meet tho l'tiiladelphias, Minneapolis will again cross bats with Morton's mun. At the meeting last week the delegates fixed the Balary of Presidont Morton at $1,800.

He is president, sccrotarv and treasurer. Whilo tho umpires will roeeive their salaries monthly they will not bo under tho control of the president, but will be governed by tho board of directors. Tho next meeting of tho association will bo held In Kansas City on tho fourth Wednesday in October. BALL TALK. Tho Troy fielder, Haddock, who bids fair to make his mark, is, wo nro told, Jim Whit-noy's brother-in-law.

Arthur Clarkson, a brothor of John Clark-son, has been signed by tho Chicago Western Association team. "Cyclone" Ryan says his pitching arm is onco more all right. Daniel hasn't caught on yet for this soason. To pay ono man over 124,000 and higgle with another over a ruiso of $150 is not good policy on Pitt-burgh's part. Tho Houston Club, of tho Texas League, is to bo incorporated.

Spsncor Hutehings has been appointed manager. Mr. Von der Ahe has definitely decided not to sell pitchor Hudson's release to any club. St. Paul wanted him badly.

Manage Mutrio has nothing but praise for Slattery, Cleveland and Hatfield. Foster is also well spoken of by Jim. Sam Smith, Louisville's now first baseman, has reported for duty and has created a most favorablo impression in practice. Third-baseman Davis returned a contract sent him by tho Kansas City club unsigned. Tho salary offered was not satisfactory.

Latham says the St. Louis Whites will bo tho boss baso-stealors, bocauso they have Crooks on their nine. No bouquets, please. Ed Williamson, of tho Chicagos, picked up an Indian mascot at Hot Springs. The littlo savage is a ud-blood Wichita.

Pittsburgh will chargo tho wives of players (58.75 for season tickets. Why not have mado it S8.88 for tho sako of even numbers! Mark Baldwin is said to havo terrible speed. Much to Anson's pleasure Speed will count for a good deal this season. Secretary Stevens, of tho New England Leagne, has boon given absoluto control of the assignment of umpiros in that loaguo. It's dollars to cents that neither the Cincinnati, Washington -or New York clubs will benefit materially by their Southern trip.

Tho fact that Clarkson may act as a spur to Rad bourn makes ho triumvirate doubly anxious to secure tho Chicago twirler. Phil McFarland, formerly of tho Nowarks and Binghamton9, is now a h'actor. Ho is with Daniel Sully's Dramatic Company. Hotel-keepers greatly object to ball players dressing for tho fiold in their hotels, owing to the damage done to floors by their shoo plates. Tho Boston Globe has asked for a popular vote on the questiqn whether Hadbourno shall or shall not bo retained on tho Boston team.

Tho Pioneer Club, of San Francisco, presents a decided novelty in on infield composed wholly of Smiths, with tho exception of short fiold. Mark Baldwin has an orthodox yellow dog which he proposes to carry round tho country if Captain Anson does not object to such extra baggage. The Pittsburgh club will lssuo fifty dead-head tickets this season, of which tho club will pay for thirty-eight at tho rate of J8.75 each. Tho umpires' schedulo of tho American Association shows that McQuado will umpire 142 games, Ferguson 140 and Gaffncy and Doescher 139 each. Leitnor, tho pitcher who was with tho Indianapolis team for a short time last soason, will pitch for tho Bergen Point Athletic Club nine this season.

Anson think3 tho Chicagos secured the cruamof last year's young blood in Clarkand Farroll. Ho i.i also favorably impressed with Dully, Hoover and Krock. Frank Bushong, brother of the great catcher, has been engaged as ticket-seller at tho Brooklyn ground. For throe yoars past ho was in Von der Aho's employ in a similar capacity. Captain Henshaw, of Harvard, wants to develop a second nino to give practice to the 'varsity team.

Tho schomo is good in theory, but at Harvard it has always been hard to carry it out. Most of tho ball players are disappointed at tho rofusnl of tho joint committoo on rules to return to tho three-striko rulo. Only tho pitchers have reason to bo pleased with that rulo. Comiskoy will bo tho solo manager of the St. LouIb toam this soason.

Gilford's duty will bo to ottond only to the financial business of tho club. Ho will havo nothing to do with the players. Ths dates for tho spring exhibition games between Ut. Louis and Dotroit have been changed. They now aro: April laud 2, at Now Orleans; April at Memphis; April 13 and 14, at St.

Loui3. Tho Kansas City American team has signed two more pitchers- Porter, late of Brookij-n, and Haflnor, formerly of Topoka. Shortstop Esterday is to bo released to Kansas City by Lousville. Tho Toledo club will report for duty April 1, and tako a trip through Indiana, playing at Indianapolis, Evansvillo, Richmond and other cities, after which they will play tho principal Ohio clubs. Tho greatest number of games each Association club plays at home in succession this season is Cleveland, twenty-eight Baltimore, twenty-six Kansas City, twenty-five Cincinnati, twenty-two; Louisville, St.

Louis and Brooklyn, nineteen each; Athletics sevontceu. This la a very just and equitable arrangement. It is now leaked out that Chicago got 14,000 from Pittsburgh forMcCormick. Uo was dear at that yrice, but nevertheless ho pitched $4,000 worth of ball against tho White Stockings at a timo when every do feat couuted heavily against Anson's crowd. Thero is less written and said about Bas-sott's ability than of porhaps any other player under contract in cither of tho two othor associations.

And yot Bassott is ono of tho bost inlloldors in tho loaguo to-day. Managers and players havo rocognized this fact long ago, though the public aud tho base-bull writers throughout tho country do not socm to know it. Harry Wright considers him tho poor of any second and he mado several efforts last fall to buy his reloaso from Indianapolis. Grand stand players, as a rulo, recoivo more puffing through tho papers than thoy desorve, and If Bassott mado a littlo more showing in that direction ha also might sco his namo mentioned of toner In tiio nowspapers. buorlina Lift.

it is safe io say that democratic commissioners would not have mado so good a bargain for the county, and Instead of using the money to build a court house thev would, like tho democratic treasurer of Kentucky, and the democratic postmaster at Belleville, have stole tho money and run to Canada with it. The Atlantic t'oimtutioii says when Pits ident Cleveland and his wife returned from tins Southern trip Senator Cohpnlt asked them what they thought of the South. The President said: "Shetssolid, and Mrs. Cleveland said: "Keep her so, Senator." THE NATIONAL GAME. A SPALDING SURPRISE.

Oolng Ut i Auxtraliu to Piny Ib1I The I'rosldmit of tho Chlnago lliwo-Hull Club Will 1'ilot a Great Contingent N1H8 Thousand MIIm to Illuntint-o the National Uumu. President Hpa-lding, of tho Chicago club, is going tp tako a company of Amorican ball-players to Australia. Tho following interview between tho base-bull magnato and a Chicago Jle. ald reporter will bo found interesting. "How long havo you boon considoring this Australian enterprise!" For several Whou did you docido to make tho venture?" Threo or four months ago I dotormined to send a man to Australia, but tho difficulty was in Hading tho right kind of a man to Bond.

Iu January, howovor, tho right man camo along ia tho person Loigh 8. Lynch." "Tho theatrical man!" "Yes. Mr. Lynch was for nina vears manager of tho Union Square Theater. Last year ho was Mrs.

Langtry's manager. Ho has visited Australia sovoral times. I got him off on tho February steamer. Ha carried to Honolulu aud to Sidney a largo number of letters which I had from partios thero. Two years ago 1 began agitating tho subject in tho antipodos, on tho theory that a man should look before ho leaps.

The letters received in reply to my quories woro all highly favorablo. Nod Hanlen, tho oarsman, who is familiar with Australian sentiment, also assured mo that two American ball clubs would roceivo a splendid ovation thero." Did Lynch stop at Honolulu on his way to Sydney!" "Yes, and engaged grounds thero. When King Kalakaua was in this country ho 6aw several games of base-ball. Wo shall have his patronage and tho support of a largo number of Sandwich Islands business men, with whom I havo had correspondence." Have you selected the players who will accompany you?" "No, but I shall probably tako from twenty-two to twenty-five men." "Will Anson go!" Certainly. Ho will havo chargo of the teams.

Tho intention is to bo ablo to afford tho residents of tho colonics a magnificent athletic exhibition. I know thero is a livo interest taken In base-ball thero, because of tho quantity of base-ball supplies exported, but in addition to tho Natioual game, I want to bo ablo to raako it interesting for Australian professionals at cither criekot or foot-ball. Wo shall arrive in tho colonies for tho Christmas festivities which, in point of brilliancy of display aro said to excel any thing in any English-speaking country. Wa shall play in Adelaide, Sydney, Tasmania, Melbourne and in all tho large cities of Australia and New Zealand. Playing grounds aro already engaged where we shall appear.

This is tho signilieanco of Kenwood in the cablegram. I intend that tho two ball clubs shall bo composed of men who aro not only skillful professionally, but who are gentlemen in doportmont. In exploiting tho National gamo in another country as contemplated, it is desirablo to make as good an impression as possible." "What cxponso will be incurred?" At llrst I thought would cover it, but it has grown to such proportions that I do not see how tho idea can bo carried out for less than $30,000. I shall put up a purse to be played for in Australia so as to stimulate tho men to their best efforts." Is this your individual enterprise or do you represent a syndicate?" "It is my personal undertaking. Two business men of Sydney wanted to share with me or guarantee expenses and divido profits if there should bo any thing to divide, but I havo such confidence in tho drawing power of the attractions to be offered that I prefor to assume the entire r0; sponsibility." "Will Mrs.

Spalding accompany youl" "I hope so. Other friends, as well as many outside admirers of tho game, will probably go. In 1874, when I mado arrangements to tako tho Boston and Athletic clubs to England, tho ship wo crossed on was filled with our friends?" When do you expect to return!" "Wo shall bo absent from Chicago four or fivo months. Tho prosont programme is to charter a train and stop en route to San Fraucisco at Omaha, Denver and Kansas City. Wo may also play in Frisco before sailing.

Tho ocean voyago will consume twenty-six days, but it will bo broken by tho halt at Honolulu, whero we shall play at least ono game. I roceived a lotter from Mr. Lynch, written at Honolulu on his way out. Ho thinks wo shall play to 12,000 peo-plo thero. Ho will roturn to this city in May, and remain nbout threo months and then go to Sydney again to complete arrangements and preparo tho Australian palate for the enjoyment of tho treat wo have in store for rL" NEW BALL CLUBS.

Tho Wostorn Association Rnaily WeU-KeaHonml MuiiHgum at the Head of the Now Orsuiiizutioii Some of the New Players. Tho base-ball event of last week In Chicago was tho spring mooting of tho West-orn Association of Professional Base-Ball Clubs. For a "now" association the Western is certainly kiln-driod. Every manager is thoroughly seasoned. Jim Hart, of Milwaukee, though a young man, 1b a votoran.

Ho can manage a minstrel show or BWing a three-ringed circus. Charlos Morton, of Des Moines, is no chicken, aud E. E. Men-gos, of Kansas City, has nerve and monoy enough to get around tho world in loss than eighty days. Minneapolis was represented in the Tre-mout gathering by W.

E. Gooding and F. A. Loland. St.

Paul's delegate was A. M. Thompson. These gentlemen aro ripo business men, and Leland, with his Titianosquo beard, would bo a marked figure In any European cupital. Chris Von dor Alio and Tom Loftus aro capublo and oxperion(d base-ball genorals.

Manager Seloo, of Omaha, can give points to uny of his associates. Ono of the most successful young mon In tho country, among thoso who havo mado the National game a Btudy, Is tho president of Chicago's club in tho Wostorn Association, H. (i. Morton. Tho fact that Sam Morton is ut tho head of this association, and that ho has invested his own money in securing playing strength, will convince thousands of Chicagoans that tho city will bo creditably represented in tho strugglo for tho minor pennant." When the representatives of tho eight cities named nbovo went Into socrot sossion at tho Tremont, says tho Chicago Herald, it was predicted that tho matter of milcago would "brcuk them all up." Thoro was no such outcomo.

The delegates mot tho question promptly and settled it fairly by agreeing to prorato tho mlloogo. 'J ho cost of transportation will be equitably divided. Tho distance which each toam niURt travel to moot the season's schedulo engagements Is Indicated In tho subjoinod tablo: Club. mf. Club.

MAIM II 81; 1SH8. It is not true, iih tins Arijun rays, 'Unit the "Anderson and Wllbon faetinns have chUuiI a joint convention." This convention was called by the 1U 'publican Committee. It is slyly hinted Unit the Catholics of the 4lh ward are going to bolt the nominations they helped to make Saturday Hight, and support a bolter. Gentlemen, can you nfford to be so treacherous? Some of your best friends were at that caucus and helped nominate the ticket, and they want you to bo true to yourselves and to them. You cant allord to repel them and thus repudiate their good services.

The resolution of Mr. S. 1). Houston, published in the caucus proceedings, is asking for something already provided for and parliully completed. The councilman for the -lib ward, Mr.

Pratt, has been earnestly nt work doing what the resolution asks for, for a year past, and which will be completed as soon as the weather will permit the lesmnption of work. We simply favored tho adoption of the resolution to please a childish old gentleman its adoption cannot hasten work a particle, no matter who is councilman, even though it were Mr. Houston himself. THE FOURTH WABD HOMIHEES. "We are well satislicd with the work of the 4th ward caucus Saturday night, as it presented candidates for tho office of couneilmen and school board that arc worthy of support.

Mr. Pratt, lor councilman, is the present incumbent, and has proved himself a caable and industrious ollicer. Promptly in attendance at all meetings and fearlessly grnpling witli all questions that came befoe it, an earnest advocate of every measure that promised good to the city. We know that Hie dilly dally shilly-shally course witli (he waterworks would not have been tolerated had his advice been followed, but it would long ago have been completed and in operation. In the matter of drainage and other improvements, he has been exceedingly fortuitous and always right.

The result of his pers'Slent work is seen in tho splended ducts for water carriage under the track of his road. A'so iu the east part of Hie city wheie the groat floods that sometimes came down Broadway to Eighth street are carried away by the side of the Santa Pe track. Jlaoy ugly holes have been tilled up, and a system of drainage planned that will effectually drain all that remains and make the Northeast portion of the city as healthy and desirable a place to live in as any other. Th's work has been diiyed, but by no fault of Mr. Pratt's.

It is the duty of the K. P. to do this work, it agreed to do it in consideration of the city giving it the light of way up Third street, and it should do it, ami in nbout In do it Ih ougli the influence of Mr. Pratt. This will save to the city a thousand dallars.

Tho large attendance at the caucus and the nomination of Mr. Pratt by a iimi'ii mous vote is a st'ong indorsement of his course, and that he wUl be overwhelmingly elected is certain. The people delight to encourage by their votes honesty, good sense and good judgment in office, and never go back on the man that does his whole duly as Mr. Pratt has done his. They stand by the officer that proves true to his trust.

As to Mr. Jlinkle, for member of the school board, we cannot speak so confidently, for we do not know him so well, but what we do littuw of him is favorable, and we believe he should be elected, and that he will be. THE COTJKT HOUSE BONDS. Tho Clyde Aryan up its gobbling about the court house, and contends that the commissioners are eclilled to no credit for selling this bonds at 5 per cent interest. It says: "It is tho credit, re sources and taxable property of a county that gives its bonds value and enables them to be flouted nt a low rate of interest and not the commissioners and Saw-hill.

And Ilagaman Co may as well quit dealing in tins the people will not believe them," The Aryan llatly contradicts history made by its own party in withholding credit from the commissioners for selling 0 per cent bonds for 5 per cent. Go back a little, young men, nbout the time you were sucking the lacteal fluid from your mamma's, when the "sheep's lieud-and pluck-a-day for a laboring man" Democratic Jimmy Buchanan was president, and see if lie management of the financial affaiis of a county by its officers has not something to do with giving it credit and secui ing a low rate of interest. Vhen Buchanan went out of olllco the country could scarcely borrow money at 10 per cent interest, and yet it had just as much territory (Alaska excepted) as it now has. During the Mexican war a war provoked by the democrats to extend slavery it was with difficulty that the government, under the control of democrats could borrow money at 8 and 10 per cent interest. When Jaci.son went into tho Presidency in ho found the credit of the country excellent and the rate of interest low, eonsidciing the scarcity of money, and he left tho country bankrupt and without credit.

Mark the change when republicans took tiio reins of government, notwithstanding the democratic rebellion, with Boldicm trying to dcHtroy the government, its credit rose and billions of money was borrowed at six per cent. View the contrast! In slate of profound peace the democratic, government had to pay 10 and 13 per rent for money, and under republican rule, with tho whole democratic party trying to destroy tho government It raised billiols PjrfKS (riuB," a A.vni.1 ot nan OMlKIsLm mSlSd 2 pf fcytarS r'U. all UlsA 1 nit my aim is to lilrl tLLiSio- EEHOT.abtSkKOTSS(l wilf!
