There is going to be an interesting meet- Ing of the board of the National Base Ball League in New York Monday. Several questions will come up for consideration relative to players now doing business in the National League, but the bulk of the work cut out for Messrs. Young, Byrne and Soden, composing the board, comes up from the minor leagues. When The Star reporter called at lefgue headquarters yes- terday “Uncle Nick” Young was packing his little brown leather bag, that has seen service for the past decade. The most Important documents it con- tained were those bearing upon the cases of “Monte” Cross of Pittsburg and Everett of Chicago, the young man who is now playing third base for “Granpap” Anson. The question involved in each case is a matter of $500, which “Uncle Nick” has tucked away in “his stocking” pending a decision by the national board. In both NOTES cases Detroit is a claimant for the “plun- der.” It appears from the records on file with “Uncle Nick” that Cross came into prominence first as a member of the De- troit club. He was subsequently suspended and eventually turned up at Syracuse, N. Y., where his brilliant work attracted the attention of the Pittsburg management. Last season he was drafted from Syracuse, but before the $500 for his release was paid Detroit put in a claim to the release money, on the ground that he was never released outright by that club. At the close of last season both Pittsburg and Detroit included the name of “Monte” Cross among the players each held in re- serve. It is probable that some of the cenfusion in this case arose from the fact a igns his name again “‘Monte” Cross and frequent- “Montgomery Cro: Now, the question e determined is, which club shall re- ceive the $500 draft money, Syracuse or De- troit. In any event, it is not probable that the decision of the board will interfere with Cross’ status as a member of the Pittsburg club. In the case of Everett, it appears that he was drafted from Detroit by Chicago, and, inder ordinary circumstances, the latter crganization should pay $500 for his re- lease. It is claimed by Capt. Anson that Everett's services were obtained from De- troit in accordance with a personal under- standing between the authorized parties of the two organizations that an exchange should be made. The Detroit was to take Glenalvan or Dungan in exchange for any player Anson might lect from the De- troit club. He chose Everett. Now, the contention is whether, under the circum- ances, Chicago is required, to pay the usual $500 draft money. ‘There ure numerous other cases coming up from minor leagues involving double and, in some instances, triple contract signing, but none of the players interested are members of the National League at present. It is quite probable that an ex- ample will be made of several promising young players, who have no idea of the sacredness of a legal contract, especially when they can “work” a club for $50 ad- vance money. There are several cases pending in which one player has received advance money from two or three different clubs before the season opened. ‘Uncle Nick” is in favor of teaching these young- sters a severe lesson by suspending them from all connection with national agree- ment clubs for a year at least. Some of the league umpires say that they are not receiving the support from those in authority in the enforcement of the rules, which framed to put an end to dirty b ying. In other words, at the last annual meeting all the mag- nates solemnly agreed to stand together to bring about a reformation in the conduct of players on the ball field. At the outset the umpires were instructed to enforce the rules, even if they had to fine every player the limit or put an entire team out of the game. Now the very magnates who in- sted upon the enforcement of that rule are making the umpire’s life a burden. SCHMELZ' BAD JUDGMENT. He Put Stocksdale in to Pitch Instead of Mercer. Messrs. Joyce, Stocksdale and Schmelz were responsible for the defeat of the Statesmen yesterday by the Cleveland team. Joyce made three errors, mostly on bunt hits; Stocksdale lasted just two in- nings, and did so badly that the visitors got a lead that was never reduced, and Schmelz made the mistake, which was pal- pable in two minutes after the Cleveland men went to bat. of putting Stocksdale in to pitch for the second time within two days. Otis did well Wednesday for three i and this was probably taken as a token that he would do as well yesterday. But it seemed to have been forgotten that he had weakened in the fourth inning of the Wednesday game, and had given base after base on balls, indicating that he had run his race. With Mercer available for the final game of the series, it was a very hort-sighted policy to put Stocksdale in n, even though the Cleveland manage- did a similar thing by sending Young into the hox. But Young is a stronger, bet- ter pitcher than Stocksdale, and he had better reason for tninking that he could fool the Washington batsmen than had the local twirler. He shown, too, signs of improvement Wednesday as the game pro- gressed ‘The game was lost in the second inning, when thre2 bases on balls, three singles, a double, a passed ball and errors by Joyce and Cartwright netted six runs for the visitors. Tney had filled the bases in the first inning with two hits and an error by Joyce, but Jack Crooks was lucky and pulled down George Tebeau’s line drive, and made a double play at second, with Captain Glasscock’s assistance. Indeed, the able assistance of Captain Glasscock came into play at every stage of the game. He had eleven chances, some of them hard and few of them easy, and he took them all ith the ease that once marked him as the king of shortstops. He also made a safe hit and scored a run. He threw poorly ence or twice, but he got the ball over to first each time in safety. Cartwright did a good deal to help him out of one or two bad holes by making some splendid pick-ups of low throws, but Cartwright is so clever at this business that the crowd has rather got to look for his pretty stops. The locals scored two in the third on a two-bagger to right by Stocksdale, who thus tried to retrieve himself, and singles by Joyce and Hassamer. Another was made in the fourth on a hit by Glasscock, a base on balls, a wild pitch and a sacrifice by Abbey. The fourth run came in the sixth ng, When Crooks and Abbey each hit cures SCROFULA, BLOOD POISON. § tie cures CANCER, ECZEMA, TETTER. § sto00 for a single, oe The final run of t natorial score came in the ninth, whet rcer bunted prettily, went to second on Young's error, and Sel- bach followed with’ another safe bunt.

There were fully five thousand persons Present, who would -have been much better pleased at the start to see Mercer walk in- to the box instead of Stocksdale, who has not yet demonstrated’enough steadiness to warrant his being a great favorite. There were many unfavorable comments by the crowd on the “headwork” of the Washing- ton manager in thus neglecting a chance to win the final game of the series. The score follows, but it does not show the full extent of Stocksdale’s responsibility for the loss of the game, as the earned run record, which gives Washington a good lead, does not take the three bases on balls that he Bave in the fatal second inning into con- sideration: the Bena flied to Blake.

Decisions Favoring the Home Team Resented by Spectators. Several rebellions by the players and a riot among the spectators were threatened at Scranton yesterday on account of the umpiring of “Tim” Hurst. From the be- ginning of the game he was called upon to make close decisions on the bases and Scranton usually got the best of it, as they did on decisions on balls and strikes. Capt. and Manager Murray of Providence kicked repeatedly, and the; crowd was with him. In the sixth inning with two runs in and one out Hurst called Cooney’s hot grounder inside of third base a foul. Capt. Murray Kicked vigorously, ag did Cub Stricker. Murray refused td go to the bench and he and Stricker were ‘final $10 each. The two players persisted im objecting Murray was fined a total of $4) and Stricker was ordered out of the game. After play was resumed Hurst heard Stricker abusing him on the bench and: oxgered him from the grounds. Time was called-and Hurst went to the bench, and but/for the interference of an officer and ,bygtanders blows would have been struck, Stricker finally went outside. BOTH CREWS ARE CONFIDENT. potas ‘The Pennsylvcnta wnd Cornell Frew! men Are Anxiously Awaiting the Race ‘The Pennsylvania fr men have become thoroughly acclimated-by their week's stay at Ithaca, Nic Y., and:Coach \Wagonhurst feels more confident than ever that his “babies” will show clear water to the young Cornellians next Friday. The Cornell freshmen. row forty-eight strokes to the minute every afternoon in practice with the "Varsity and show~ex- cellent form. Coach White says of them: “The boys have been training faithfully and I have lots of confidence in them. I sent the freshmen over the two-mile course Wednesday, paced by the ‘Varsity, and while I do not care to state the time made I am perfectly satistled with the result. ‘The last time I saw Pennsy’s boat out they were going at thirty-two strokes and foliowing their wash.” Coach Wagonhurst is foxy, however, and it is more than likely that he is keeping quite a bit up his sleeve. The utmost good feeling is manifested between the young rivals, but both crews express their confidence of winning. Guy Richards of Columbia has consented to act as referee. ERIN The Great College Teams Will Meet on the Diamond Again Today. Either Easton or Wilson will in all proba- bility pitch for Princeton against Yale to- day. The make-up for the team has not been announced, but all indicatiogs point to the young freshman being in the points for, the Tigers, with Wilson as second choice. Altman has not recovered suffi- ciently from his recent illness to permit him to pitch. Brooks will, in all proba- bility, play short, with Otto at first. Great interest is taken in the contest and the average Princetonian is confident of vic- tory, although the team expects a very closé contest. No odds are being given by either side, but even money is rapidly covered. Special trains will be run from New York and Philadelphia to accommo- date the local alumni. Mark Baldwin’s Suit. ‘The suit of Mark Baldwin against Chris Von der Ahe of St. Louis, in which Baldwin recovered $2,500 for false imprisonment, took a sensational turn yesterday at Pitts- burg, when Von der Ahe’s attorney applied for a commission to take testimony. The petition says that the jury which awarded Baldwin the money was tampered with, It is alleged that Robert P. Kennedy, a prominent Uniontown lawyer, telegraphed to Jacob Weiskircher of McKeesport, ask- ing him tu see Thomas Reynolds, a mem- ber of the jury, and influence him to stand by Baldwin. A commissioner was ap- pointed. Talent Had It Their Own Way. The talent had‘ it about all their own way at the St. Asaph track yesterday, four favorites and two strongly backed sec- ond choices winning. Ten bookmakers weighed in, and furnished the good crowd with not a little of the “stuff.” The track was in splendid shape, but in only one event, the last, was there anything like a fighting finish, Jessie-Taral beating White Cockade by a head. The winners wer Allen L., 7 to 10; Syengali, even money; Tribute, 5 to 2; Mirage, 3 to 1; Ilume, 7 to 5, and Jessie Taral, 6 to 5. Melancholy Memoranda. Jack Glasscock covered ground like a deer. He took fties that were falling in deep left, second vase territory and center. The score boar isa fit subject for a bath. The young man who presides makes good figures, but he should be provided with a scrubbing brush and a little water. Umpire Long lost his head in the last in- ning yesterday, and insisted upon trying to judge balis and strikes from behind the pitcher when Mercer had reached second. Cartwright, captain de jure, made a pro- test, but Long stayed back of the pitching box for one or two deliveries and was then forced to admit that he was wrong and went up behind the bat. The management is showing a tardy ap- preciation of the fact that the peopie who pay admission to the grand stand and 50- cent seats are entitled to some considera- tion. Wooden sun shields have been built over the latter, and the awnings have been extended partly around the southern half of the grand stand. The sun during the latter part of every game played on a clear day is intolerable. Now, let the bleachers be covered. Yesterday was ladies’ day, and a fine chattering, indeed, the fair ones put up throughout the game. They screamed whenever a ball was struck, and their wails of regret or reproach when a local man was put out were pitiful. While they are interesting adjuncts to the game, and afford a good deal of amusement by their pretty ignorance of the play, they are just a little pit of a nuisance at times, for they cannot possibly keep still, and their clat- tering tongues make it impossible for the people in the grand stand to hear the voice of the umpire as he calls balls and strikes. — SEASIDE AND MOUNTAIN. Some Helpful Suggestions Pertinent te the Summer Vacation Question.. It is not difficult to tell what the wild waves are saying just now, and what they will continue to repeat until after the dog star has finished its orbit of 1895. They are calling invitingly for city people to come to them and be cool, and their refrain ts taken up by the delightful breezes that stir ‘the treetops in the mountains. It will be a hardened city dweller who can resist them both. The best hotels and boarding houses at leading seaside and mountain re- sorts, as well as in more retired yet none the less telightful localities, place their an- ,Houncements ia The Star's advertising col- umns. Among them are the following well- known resorts, which present attractions of a superior character to those who. wish to get away from the city heat: With the finest and safest bathing beach in the world and a refined patronage, Cape May keeps Its place at the front of Amer- ican ocean resorts. The Braxton is highly recommended by visitors to the famous re- sort for its excellent accommodations and delightful location. Mrs. J. A. Myers will manage the house again this season. ‘The board walk is the great social ar- tery of Atlantic City, and visitors who stop near it have many advantages. The Hotel Warwick, managed by M. W. Truitt, ison South Carolina avenue, only a few yards from the board walk and the ocean, and is otherwise attractive in its excellent rooms and tabie and reasonable rates. The only person luckier than one wHo spends a week at Asbury Park is he who spends two. The whole season may he thoroughly enjoyed, especially if the _so- journer selects the Fenimore as an abiding place. Thos. Noble will send all informa- tion to those who want it. The Hotel Lafayette at Cape May has won wide praise for the perfection of its appointments and the character of its serv- ice. Located on the beach, nearly every room has an ocean front, and may now be secured, previous to the opening, June 22, by addressing John ‘Tracey & Co. The Hotel Royal, at Atlantic City, is managed by a Wastington hotel man, Mr. J.C. Johnson, and his success in past sea- sens in making thirgs pleasant and com- fortable for guests has made his seas! hostelry one of the most popular. It open July 1, and, of course, will be largely patronized by Washingtonians. The Leadley, at Asbury Park, has been erlarged and newly equipped, and will be managed this season by Probst & Leadley in a manner that will leave nothing to be desired on the part of patrons. There is no better or more popular house at Asbury Park than the Hotel Lyndhurst, which is managed by Mrs. Charles B Goldsborough. It contains every modern convenience, and its table and service are noted among the many who have been its patrons in past seasons. The demand upon the Lyndhurst accommodations promises to be large, ard an early arrangement on the part of prospective visitors would be advisable. Cape May has always been a favorite resting place, and the Aldine is a delight- ful seaside home. Thomas Mueller will re- spond to all inquiries in regard to the Al- dine and its advantages. ‘The Carleton, at Spring Lake, N. J., af- fords a quiet and invigorating resort for the hot period. It is a famously good re- gion, and the hotel management 1s of the best. Righ® among the billows is Hotel Henlo- pen, at Rehoboth, Del. For those who like an interesting time, with plenty of good society, that is the place. Wilburton-by-the-Sea is the pretty name of a pretty and new hotel at Spring Lake, N. J., where the summer guest will find ali the comforts of the season and good so- ciety around him. y: Up 3,000 feet above the sea are Mountain Lake Park and the hotel of the same name. Under a new management the house af- fords the best of accommodations, and is receiving a generous share of patronage. ‘As the leading scientists of the world now agree that the mountains are far better for curative and tonic effect, Mountain Lake Park should receive consideration from all who want a restful and health-restoring summer. To those who like an entire change of air and surroundings there 1s a good opportu- nity with Miss Preble at the Morrison Mansion, Peterborough, N. H. It is among mountain scenery and in a delightfully cool air. At Cape May Point, right on the beach, which is one of the finest in the country, is the Carleton House, kept by Mr. Maddock. The terms are low, and the manager gives his guests every attention. To those who want a little more privacy than the seaside hotel usually affords, Sloan's Cottage, at Cape May Point, offers inducements. It is near the beach and con- venient to hotels, post offices and churches. Mr. Sickels has opened at West Park, Atlantic City, a fine hotel, which presents many attractions to its guests. It is in an excellent location near the beach. For a family there is no better seaside home at Atlantic City tham the Clifton, kept by Mrs. Cope. It is it a good loca~ tion, has every convenience, and the man- agement is excellent. Asbury Park has strong attractions for many, and among the best hotels there is the Lafayette, which is beautifull fur- nished and well managed. A good table is a special boast of the management. Right on the beach, with the salt air borne landward 9n a constant breeze, is the Allaire, at Spring Lake, N. J. A line to E. M.

From the Vineepnes Sun. Warden Patten of the Indiana prison south, at Jeffersonville, has now on exhi- bition one of the most remarkable contriy- erces: of a prisoner that ever came into his collection, It is a ladder, made of ‘thou- sends of small pieces of twine, threads, cords and rope, such as a convict would secretly collect through years of effort. With the rope Thomas Shepherd used to climb a thirty-foot wall and get out of the penitentiary yard night after night to visit an old sweetheart. He never attempted to eseape, and when his ladder was found one night he returned before his absence had been discovered, rang the bell at the front gate and surrendered himself. On his arm he carried a rubber coat, which had been used to conceal his striped shirt. He wore moccasins over his shoes. Shepherd told a straightforward story, so fas as it went. He had made the ladder, he said, fr: crder that he might visit a weman outside the prison. He had gone to her house only four times, he said. Last Sunday night when he returned he found his ladder gone from the wall, and at once he decided to give himself up. He would not tell the woman’s name, but the prison officials think they have discovered her identity. She went from her home in Sulli- van county, Ind., some years ago to live in_Jeffersonville, near her convict lover. Shepherd said that be wove his ladder at night,. and that it took him months to finish it. It contained threads, strings and bits ef cords of every size, length and color. They were woven, knotted and twisted skilfully. Shepherd was sent to prison to serve a life sentence in 1875. A new trial was secured two years later, and he was re- committed on the same sentence on April 19, 1878. He has continually petitioned for executive clemency, and two years ago his sentence was commuted to twenty years. He will be released, consequently, on April 18, 1898. He was a country school teacher. One night at an apple paring he had a quarrel with a man named Macey Engle over a girl.
