E. Young of the National Base Bail League deprecates the feeling of discontent that has arisen in the minds of some of the minor league people, and dces not think that their contention is well feunded. He said, in a recent conversation: “While in some cases it might seem that seme clubs have been discriminated against, yet, upon the whole, tae arrangement is abcut as equitable as ean be devised. The enly possible way the board could arrange the classification of clubs—as no other facts were witkin their knowledge—was upon the basis of population. The services of a star player to a club playing to an audience of from two to four thousand a day are certainly greater than they would be to one pisying to an audience of five hundred or two thousand per day, and his loss by draft or otherwise would certainly be greater. I know in some cases that clubs playing in districts having cities of com- Parative small population, who have pulled through the season barely paying expenses, have been financially benefited by selling one or two players to the National League. “Up to this time we have paid to minor leagues thousands of dollars more than we have received from them. If this money has not been equitably distributed among the various minor league clubs, it is cer- tainly nc fault of the National League. “Another thing, thousands of dollars have been paid by clubs in the National League for players that proved wholly useless and incapable—who were soon sent adrift as being no good. “In drafting players from minor leagues many are called, but few are chosen or kept, their work being judged by the field- ing and batting average accorded them in minor leagues, which, in most cases, have Proven a delusion and a snare. The truth is, the minor leagues get fifty per cent more star players from the big leagues than are drafted from their ranks, and that, too, without money and without price. Look at some of the old stars who have won fame upon the diamond while playing with clubs in the National League or American Association that are now bright particular Stars in the minor association—Comisky, Werden, Shannon, Joe Mulvey, Kilroy and dozens of others whom I could mention. These old and tried veterans leave the big league for various reasons—refuse to play because they fail to get the limit of sai- ary or are let go becatse they have fallen off in their work, or for other good rea- sons are given their release. Yet their services are invaluable in the minor leagues, where the clubs are generally made up of young and inexperienced men. So there you are. I think the benefits and damages resulting to the minor leagues are very fairly adjusted. i “I do not believe that ary one connected with the National "League is disposed to treat the minor leagues unfairly or un- friendly. I know I am not, and I don’t tbink my collezgues on the board are. We are ready at any and all times to meet the wishes of our minor league brethren in any proposition that will advance our mu- tual interests, and keep alive the interest and glory of our national game.” NO TRADE POSSIBLE. Mr. Wagner Would Not Give Cart- wright for Tucker. Tom Tucker of the Boston team, who passed through the city yesterday on the way to Charlottesville, Va., sprung a sensation at the B. and P. depot by saying he had heard that a deal was on between Boston and Washington involving the ex- change of himself and Ed. Cartwright. It is well known that Earl Wagner has had many good offers for the services of Cart- wright, all of which he has refused. Ed. is in demand by several of the big league clubs, yet Mr. Wagner, believing him to be the best first baseman in the league, will not even entertain a proposition look- ing to his release. - In talking to a Star reporter Earl Wag- ner sald: “Cartwright will not be released from the Washington Club unless I can secure a better man, and as I don’t believe he has a superior in the league his status is very well established. I will not trade a good player for an inferior one, what- ever money considerations may be offered as an inducement, but am ready at any time to make exchanges that will add strength to the team.” AT THE CYCLE sHOW. Crack Riders Make Good Records— Tonight's Program. ~ The cycle show at the Washington Light Infantry Armory continues to draw large crowds. The attendarce at both the after- rcon and evening sessions yesterday was large and the success of the show seems already assured. During each session the La Frayce Concert Company and the Buda Pesth Orchestra rerder delightful music from the balcony. The important feature of last evening’s entertainment was the half-mile race on the home trainers in the locker annex. The contestants were G. S. Smith, Harry Z. Greer and F. A. L. Schade. Each‘ rider wanted to ride his own wheel, but two wheels had been supplied of the seme make and gear, so that the riders would be on an equal footing in every re- gard. Smith made the distance in 61 sec- ords, Greer in 47 and Schade in 56. In the final heat Schade made the half mile in 40 seconds, with Greer only a few seconds be- bind him. Schade rode his own wheel in this race, and hereafter all contestants will be allowed to use their own bicycles in the competitions. The program of special entertainments tonight embraces a reception of the mem- bers of the Altair Cycle Club, who start from their club rooms at 1308 32d street and come through on their wheels, with the additions of other men and friends, to the hall. The other club will be the Columbia Cycle Club, who will have a number of riders and friends out for the occasion. This afternoon there will be one special mile match race cn the home trainers wheels and several boys’ races. For tonight the racing program embraces a one-mile scratch race for the diamond-set gold locket, with seven entrics. To avoid all discussions on the stage and have the races run smooth- ly, Manager Buckley will have one mem- ber of the Road Club to act as stage man- ager and racing committee and one timer and two referees.

It has been practicing for the past three weeks, and is ready to meet any club whose players average nineteen years. The team fs the same as last year, name- ly, Duvall, catcher; Flenger, pitcher; Cauld- well, first base; Chamberlin, second base; Frank, third base; P. Roberts, short stop; Geo.

CANNES, March 20.—The postponed race for the Goelet-Bennett cup, valued at $1,600, for yachts over 20-rating, was started again today at 11 o'clock. The times at the end of the first round were: Britannia, 1h., 28m,, 40s.; Satanita, 1h., 3im., 35s.; Ailsa, 1h., 36m., 00s. The course {s triangular and has to be sailed over three times in order to complete the total distance of thirty miles. The following were the times of the two leading yachts at the end of the second round: Ailsa, 3h., 12m., 50s.; Britannia, 3h., 16m., Satanita was considerably behind at the end of this round. Kansas City Cycle Show. KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 20.—Hundreds of wheels of almost every make and includ- irg many specimens which were exhibited at the Chicago and New York shows, are being displayed at Kansas City’s first an- nual cycle show, which has opened ausp!- ciously. The show will last for three days and is to be made an annual affair. “*'** ~ Ladiew’ Days at National Park. |” Ladies will be admitted free to National Park two days of each week during the base ball season. An effort to abolish these popular days signally failed. Earl Wagner Was enthusiastically in favor of continuing ledies’ day and succeeded in getting @ ma- jcrity of the clubs to agree with him. Due rotice will be given as soon as the ladies’ bcoks are ready for distribution. Applica- tions are already coming in, which will re- ceive attention at the proper time. Clearwater Beats Keogh.

Good Enough for England, but Ob- fjectionable With American Game... From the New York Sun. _ ei “There are a whole lot of people,” said a sportsman the other day, “who are posi- tively shocked at some of the bags of birda made by English hunters. They can’t see why an Englishman kills a thousand birds a day, and calls it sport, but here they make a mistake. These thousand birds are Eng- Msh pheasants, hand-reared, and kicked up with clubs and boots to make them fly to'the ambushed hunter somewhere ahead of the beaters. There is some satisfaction in bring- 4ng down a flying bird, and that Is what the Englishman is after. If the American had to hunt such birds as the Englishman does he would do exactly as the killers of thous- ands do, but as things stand the American hunters get as much satisfaction out of, say, a dozen ruffed grouse, or fifty prairie chickens, as an Englishman gets or an American would get out of killing hundreds of half-tamed birds. “But what we object to here in America most emphatically is using English methods to hunt American game. There was that fellow from England who went out west some years ago and had a drive of elk and killed a hundred of them in an hour or so in the corner of a fence he put up to stop them. They used to bring their punt guns over here, too, and often killed a hundred sitting ducks at a shot till the various states put a stop to such practices. If they will hunt like we do, they are welcome, but we won't tolerate any of their meat-heap methods.” eS ee BIG PRICES FOR POSTAGE STAMPS. Over a Thousand Dollars Paid for Two Canadian Stamps. Ficm the New York Times. Two little pleces of paper, which, when originally issued by the Cenadian govern- ment, were valued at 12d. each, were sold by auction Thursday night in this city for $1,320. The price paid wa# the largest given for any single lot of stamps in the three days’ sale which closed Friday night. All Canadian stamps of the issue of 1851 are rare,-but these two 12-pence stamps are believed to be the only unused ones*of the kind printed cn laid paper. The stamps were purchased by Mr. Needham of Ham- fiton, Ont., who s0ld these same stamps to the company holding the auction and got $1,500 for them. Mr. Needham also bought a number of other Canadian stamps at prices ranging from $10 to $185. A S-cent St. Louis stamp, 1845-6, which is a postmaster’s provisional issue, sold for $251, while a 10-cent sp2cimen of the same date brought $105. United States govern- ment issues sold from $90 down. The for- mer price was paid for an 1851-6 30-cent, unperforated, unused, which is one of the rarest of United States stamps. eee A MISSISSIPPI RIVER YACHT. Bulfie Busch’s Boat Antelope, in Which He Passes Much of His Time. From the St. Louis Reputiie. Bulfle Busch, the second oldest son of Adolphus Busch, has a launch, which he calls the Antelope. The Antelope, as her name implies, is a slender creature in form, and quite swift as she courses up and down the Mississippi river. But her interior is by no means “slender.” She js fitted up in regal style and stocked with the best in the land. Bulfie Busch spends many a pleasant evening on board his steam launch, to which he is wedded to the ex- cluaion of all other charmers. The young girls in the southern part ofthe city say that is the reason why Mr. Busch is still single. They do not like him to think so much of his Antelope, but are anxious that he choose a Penelope, who may not be for- ever weaving her gown and unraveling the weft waiting for his coming. ——_—_-o-+___.
