SPORTS IN GENERAL. What is Going On in Turf, Base Ball and Pugilistic Circles, VON DER AHE DOESN'T LIKE IT.§ He Says That the Eastern League Had For- felted Its Rights. Tf the league sustains the arbitration commit- tee in granting the Eastern and Southern leagues of 1892 the right to reserve their last | year's players, the St. Louis club will suffer | great loss, and be foreed to open the season in a sadly crippled condition, as it will lose six of its most promicing players, Watkins managed an Eastern League club last season, and all winter, while the other league clubs were busy picking up stars and other ailable league material, Watkins was quietly gathering the cream of the Eastern League. His | experience as manager in that league proved of | incalculable aid to him and he succeeded in getting together quite a formidable team. Vou der Ahe arrived home yesterd When told of the board's decision sai Eastern League has forfeited all right to the players signed by St. Lonis. They were not id their salaries, and the clubs in consequence we no more hold on them than you have. St. Louis’ action in signing these piayers was certainly legitimate, and the league at previous meetings practically ratified our action. Had I not been called home on a summons from the sick bed of my son I would have stayed the meeting out, and our side of the case would have been heard, and I think heeded. Why, the Eastern League not only owes Clarkson, Barnett, Dolan and Griffin back salaries, but | they owe Manager Watkins Rochesters a considerable «um. Manager Watkins of the Louis Browns makes ihe following interesting statement re- [pot the state of affairs of the Eastern of last year's me “When the Eastern League disbanded last season they did so on September 16, fourteen days before contracts expired. The way the Rochester players were paid was that I divided all the moner between the players, giving each man $24. The amount of money owed each player was from $65 to $160. That is the way the Rochester club quit. The Providence team took four of my men to play the final series off with Binghamton, guaranteeing exch man €100 for the seriex. Swartwood got about $90 for his £100, MeKeough got $50. Dolan got $45 and McGary got about #50. This is one instance of the action of the Eastern League, which is rmitted to retain men who are not yet paid For last year's ‘work. Why, the Elmira club even owes Dolan money for work done last June, and [ have yet nearly two months’ salary commg from the Rochester club.” PROFESSIONAL CYCLING. Arranging for Races for Cash Prizes in the Larger Cities. ‘The National Cycling Association of America met at the Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York yesterday and adopted a constitution and rac- ing rules. This association effected temporary org ‘nization at a meeting held in Philadelphia some weeks ago, and yesterday a permanent or- ganization was effected. The cities represented and the delegates were as follows: New York, P. T. Powers; Brooklyn, C. H. Byrne; Philadelphia, T. S. Dando and J. S Dayton; Baltimore, H. R. Von der Horst; Washington, F. 8 Elliott; Buffalo, James Franklin; Troy, J.D. Maloney; St. Louis, C. H. Byrne (proxy), and Milwaukee, H. D. Quinn. Providence has made application for mem- bership. The original idea of the cash prize cycling organization was to lay out tracks on the grounds of the various base ball clubs of the | National Leagne, but the majority of the mag- nates will not take an interestin the movement. At Boston and Philadelphia the grounds are not large enough to admit of a track, while at other points the bare ball men do not care to incur the expense of building tracks. C. H. Byrne says he will begin the construc- tion of a track at Eastern Park as soon as the weather will permit, and that the association will be started toa certainty. In Philadelphia the track will be located in Forepaugh Park. ‘The indications are that P. T. Powers will be at the head of the association in New York city. Mr. Byrne said the constitution and raci rnles would be so carefully drawn and strictly worded as to preclude the possibility of col- | Iusion on the part of the riders. A minimum of $1,000 in cash prizes foreach meeting has been decided upon. Already the association bas received communications from racers in England and Australia expressing a desire to come here and compete. The racing rules as adopted will conform essentially to those in vogue in other cycling associations. It was made a rale that all riders should register their regular racing colors and adhere to them in each event neld by the as- sociation. ‘The following officers of the association were elected: C. H. Byrne, Brooklyn, president; F. A. Egan, Philadelphia, secretary and treasurer. Governing board—P. "T. Powers, New York; F. €. Richter, Philadelphia; C. Von’ der Ahe, St. Louis: F.'8. Elliott, Philadelphia. Schedule committee—P. T. Powers, C. Von der Ahe and J. 8. Franklin of Buffalo. ‘The details in making ‘out a schedule and the completion of other ar- rapgements for putting the new association upon a strong working basis will be made at the meeting today. ©.

The appointment of Gray as minister to | Mexico has excited some very bitter feeling, and this time it is the “original Cleveland” men who re mad. Gray was a violent anti-Cleveland man prior to the nomination at Chicago, and his being pulled off the track at the convention, | it is said, was not his doings, nor was it with | his consent, Senator Voorhees, who was in command of the Indiana forces there, took the | matter in his own bands, it 1s said, and pulled | Gray out by the loose part of his clothes. The original Cleveland men in Indiana, who are represented here by Editor Shanklin, have been fighting again: z int Their described when | it is said that they or) course there are other people in Indiana besides | these particular gentlemen to be considered. But there are others besides the Indiana anti- Gray men who are not pleased. The Wiscon- sin people, who were pressing Bragg for the piace, are much out of sorts. WHY KILGORE 18 MAD. Bat the most indignant man of the whole lot is Representative Buck Kilgore of Texas, He wanted the place, and wanted it badly. He | has always been an earnest Cleveland man and | enjoyed cordial personal relations with Cleve- land. It was supposed that he could get about ted from thix administration. He | fully expected to get this appointment until it ‘ight that Gray bad been decided on. Yesterday morning he went to the White House to see about the matter and | found that the appointment had already been made out. He told Mr. Cleveland very frankly how he felt about the way he had been treated, Mills was the man who had puta spike in bis gun he was in » worse temper than « bucking mustang. He said last night that Mr. Mills was responsible for his treatment, Mills having | told the President that he did not think it wise to appoint any man from Texas to that missio: He said that Mills’ reason for doing this wi that eight years ago he had failed to get a Texan appointed to the place. His character- | ization of Mills’ action was such as would sound | familiar in parts of Texas, and he declares himself on the warpath. S ‘The Will ef Estella Horton. The will of the late Anna E.

Although turf papers all over the United Btates are denying the fact, there is no doubt but that the value of trotting horses has reached the lowest possible ebb.

The sale of the Hobart stock was bad enough, but when the peerless Sidney was sold for $27,000 it may be said that he was simply slaughtered.

It seems to be pretty conclusively estab- lished that a commercially satisfactory system of underground wires has resulted from the work of the past five or six years; that this is far less liable to interruption than any over- head system which can possibly be devised, and that it is less dangerous-to human life; while on the other hand, its first cost is enormously greater—certainly not less than five or six times as much for a given number of ints of service; itis in many respects cum- rsome and inconvenient, lacking the fiexi- bility and adaptation to different conditions of the overhead system, while its cost precludes ite extension to the ‘sparsely settled districts, which must either be reached by aerial wires o not at all. mere subway rental of the wires in 5th avenue, New York, is said to amount to 32 cents per lamp per night, The excevsive cost of the telephone service in New York is in great part due to the same cause. the enormous s expenso of the underground con ductors now throughout the central dis- tricts of the city.

It is found in a natural state chiefly in Bilesia. It is not anew stone, but has been known for couturies. There is a chapel in Prague laid with it. The color of the chrysophrase is a palesellow green. It hasbeen quite successfully ‘ted in ordinary agate, so that the pri the stone is comparatively low. It is the apos- tolic stone of St. Paul, and according to super- tion it confers upon the weater the gifts o ft eloquence, argument and logic.

President Cleveland's determination not to Appoint any who held office under his first ad-| ministration to positions under the present one is welcome news to the rank-and-file democrats in Obio. It was noted as @ singular fact Lefore the democratic national convention last year that almost without exception the demo- crats of this state who were honored with ap- pointments by Mr. Cleveland eight years ago were opposed to nominating him again, and those who received the best offices were most vigorously opposing the Cleveland boom. It was this active class of democratic politicians that “fixed” the state against Cleveland and caused Ohio demoeracy to make a poor show- ing at Chicago, giving Mr. Cleveland almost no support, while the democracy of the state was almost unanimous for him. No sooner was Mr. Cleveland nominated than these men turned to his support and joined prominently in the jollification meetings. It is discovered that nearly every one is @ candidate for appoint- ment to his old place. Both Congressmen Harter and Outhwaite having declined to stand as candidates for the gubernatorial nomination it looks as though James E. Neal of Hamilton would be the oan- didate. He is an ex-speaker of the Ohio house of representatives, was state executive chair- man for his party two years ago and has thorough acquaintance with his party. He is close friend and neighbor of ex-Gov. ‘ampbell, and if the ex-governor docs not want the nomi- nation himeelt. as his friends aver, undoubtedly there is no one he would prefer as such nominee to Col. Neal. Democratic politicians here, how- ever, have not failed to note that at an informal reception at Senator Brice’s house to the Duck- worth Club last week one of the speakers nomi- nated Waltér’ B. Richie of Lit a friend and business protege of the Senator's, for governor. BaSK enaTER ‘The United Press Service. From the Chicago Mail, March 6.
