Frozen Clubs Scttled wi h Officers Elected, Committees Appointed and Everything in Running O.der—Central gue. TNDIANAY s, Ind,, Dac. 18, ~The agony is over and base ball is once more put upon sound basis, ‘Tho amalgamating of the Na- tional league and the American ussociation was fully consummated today and the agree ments uit signed. The new organization is to be known s the National League and Americau Association of Professional Base Ball Cluvs. It will be seen from this that the titles of the old organizations are incorporated fuily in the name of the consolidated body nd no jealousy can be engendered from this ource. Tue first meeting of the new leazue for formal organization was called for 11 o'cloc! Thursday night and it was 4 o'clock this morning before adjournment was taken The coustitution was read over fully and adopted section by section. Built tor Business, The now body 13 osganized on an ironclad basis. The poriod of existence is placod at ten years aud no club can be dropped out without the unanimous consent of all the clubs, lncluding the ono to be dropped. A three-fourths vote is necessary before the constitution can be amended. Any club may reservo fourteen players which forfeiture of membership, for any cause, roleases. wach club must play twelve or more games with every other club cach season. The udmission is to be 50 cents generally and 25 cents special, and rain checks must be given until the fifth inning is played. The election of officers resulted in the choiee of Nick Young, the old league pr dent, s president, secretary and troasurer and Zack IPbelps of the association and John 1. Rogers as legal advisors. 3'he board of di- tors, three from oach division. wore chosen’ by lot, the result being John T. Brush of Cincinnati, Chrns Vou Der Ahe of St. Louis, James iHart of Coicago, W. H. Von Der Horst of Baltimore and A. H. Soden of Boston, Washington is the other club, but her represontative was not named. 1t will probably be Gieorgo Wagner or Mike S an. "Fhe terms of settlement with the dropped clubs wera satisfactory, and the money fs to be paid from a sinking fund created. by the payment of 10 per cent of the réceipts of oach game, There was but little deviation from thesums paid the frozen out clubs, if any, from that already an- nounced. Thed0 per cent plan in the division of receipts was adopted. This was all ac- complished at the night sessiou. session of the New Leagu At noon the new leaguo resumed its busi ness and continued in session until 3 o’clock, vhen final adjournment was taken, Nick Youngannounced the following committees which were approved: Ouschedule—Byrne, Von Der Ahe and Hart; on playors—Young and Phelus; on rules—Hoche, Von Der Horst and Brush; on national agréement—Phelps, Rogers und Youug. A. G. Spauiding of Chicogo was given a contract for furnishing the balls, Its period is five years. The duties of the committce on national agroement is to form a plan for the protection of clubs in the minor leagues in reference to players, and to foster their growth. The schodule committeo will meet the tirst Wednesday in March, at tho Fifth Avenue hotel, New York. The committeo will, at that timo, submit two schedules, one for a serios of 121 gumes, and one for a series of 1+ games. The long talked of plan of two series of soventy-two games each in a season will doubtless bo tried. This will give six or soven games for eazh club in every city. Players Disposed Of. The committee on players met at 3 o'clock in executive session for the apportionment of players. From that time until 9 o'clock the committee continued its work, finaily dispos- ing of overy man. A meeting of the organiza- tion was called at 9:30 o'clock and the com- mittee wado its report. The doings will be kept secret for some day The Awmerican association axpired at 1:50 o'clock this morning, the accounts having been carefully audited. The old National Jeague hias as yot not formally disbanded. T'ho reserve rule allowing each club to re- serve fourtcen players under contract from last season was adopted. This will give Rusie to New York and_Pfeffer to Chicago. The lattor says be will nover agan play under Anson, The movement for organizing the new Cen- tral loague is gradually taking shape. The cities now mentioned for tho circuit are Omaha, Kansas City, Indiauapolis, Colum- bus, Milwaukee, Dotioit, Toledo, St Paul and Minneapolis. FOUK MIGHTY PULLS, How the Brawny Men Tugzged on the Rope Last Nizht. ‘The largest crowd of the week assembled atthe Colisoum last night to witness the 1ifth series of struggles between tho interna- tional tug-of-war teams. By half past § there were fully 4,000 enthusiastic people on hand, all strung to the highest tension and ready to shout theirlungs out for their rep- rosentative favorites, The excitement is on the increase, nud some thriiling scenes may ba expected ou the oceasion of the culmiua- tion of these terrific struggles of muscle and science, In the opening bout last night, which be- gan at exactly twenty-seven wminutes to 9, the finely trained Bohemian team was pitted against the brawny Americans from the fort. At the crack of the pistol the resolute gladiators lay to their work, the crowd fairly raising the foof with their'steytorian shouts. Kor a full minute the handkerchiof rewained as stationary as if it had been nmled to the middle of the di- viding line. On tho third ob-heave-ho the lads from the land of Bohemia secured a full foot, and thoreafter steadily incroased their advantage until they had drageed the fatul flag within a foot of tho boundary line. Tho Aworicans wore desperate, and tuggea und fumed and struggled hko men tighung for their lives, but they had met a fos wovthy of thelr most bousted prowess, aud it was blain ta be seen that the cultured muscles of 4ho drilled and practiced Turners was cortaln to triumph, and in exactly twelve minutes Bohemin's fiag was boing excitedly waved by Captain Percival over the heads of his gal- lant men, for tho veferee had aunounced the knell to America’s hopes, It was a tervitic struggie, though compara uvely brief, and awakened a piteh among the immense throng of peoble unparalloied. "Tho Hoheuiuns are making o most splendid showing, and by thoir honest and unequivos cally sqnaro work on tho rope have tho oughly won the popular sympathy of the vast crowds which nightly assemble within the Coliseum. At twenty-two minutes aftor 9 the big sous of Deumark, iu their natty black suits, wero faclug the Scots, and again the old tu mult of cheers made the vast building shake to its foundations. On the Hrst pull the Dapes got both knots on their side, aud then for @ second or two the handkerchiof iained stationary, only to bo pulled across the iine with a rush, the crowd going wild over this spoedy work. ‘The Scots were crinpled from their hard tug of the night before and prom is0 to strengthen up for tonight's struggle. Time: 1 minute and 30 saconds. Next cau @ Swoden and England. The sig aal was giteu at ten minutes to 10. Neither team exeriod itself for the space of threo miuutes, Lut then the Swedes made a spurt and yanked the flag their way a couple of fcer.” Ancther breathing spell and the Swede anclior sent forth his familine slogan ana Juok Hoy's brigads came forward as if a cvelone baa struck it, Iu another mowment the day was won aud lost, it having required but five minutes for the Swedes to add auother victory to their unbroken chain. It vow looks as” if the gigantic northerners have a clnch on the first honors. The final boat of the eveuing was bet ween many aud Ireland, The excitoment was briof, the powerful Germaos yanlkding th sons of the Kmeraid Isle over the line in just three minutes ‘There will be an exeiting time tonight. and it will be Greek agaiust Greek once more Summary Won Lost Sweden ¢ Firaty i) Hoheniin Donmnrk Amerien Germiny Scotiang Enziand Lrelund TUGGING AT LINCOLY.

The first coutest was between the freight handlers and draymen, the lafter winnng in thirty minutes by ten inches Th cond was between the Swedes and Germans, the lattor wioning in thirty min- utes by two inches. 'The third was betwoen the ponitentiary guards and firemen, the latter winning in twenty minutes by two feet four inches, The Inst was between tho Irish and the police, and was the most excitiug, For ten minutes after the gone sounded the indicator did not move ptibly, aud the men ot both teams v as many living ues. Then tho indicator beean to waver first o1 on side, then on the other, not moving an inch eithor way. During tho last four min utes the indicator rematned stationary. Ten seconds before the gong sounded the Irish inddies made ono last superhuman effort, and succeeded in bringing the indicator one-half inch to tha good, when tho closing bell sounded. Louis Heimro | on Athletics. Owiaita, Dee. 15.-To the Sporting Editor of Tur Bre: The international tug-of-war, now in progress at tho Colisenm, has col tawly aroused a most extensive interest in athletic sports, as 13 attested by tho thou- sands who flock there overy ovening to witness the test of strength between the gifferent opposing teams. ‘Ihis 15 as 1t should be, as physiculture is something long advo- cated by myself, and a branch of healthful science I have lent much attention to. Now my objuct 1u this briof article is to call atten- tion to the fact, as exemplitiod at these strug- gies, of the supremacy of cultured and drilled athletes over the raw material. Last night the Bohemians, a team of thoroughly educated turners, had but littlo diffi- Ity iv defeating tho Germans, a team of " enormous but unpracticed men, weighmg fully one-third more than tho Bohemians, This goes to prove couclusively that the muscular and athletic curriculum, asit1s run in the turners’ societies, dovel: ops perfect men, irrespective of size, weizht or years, This schooling - makes them men —strone. supple, active and eapable to meet all the adversities of life with cour. ago and success. The turner Bohewmian team is. under the perfect control of their able captain, Joseph Percival. They urderstand his every mov and” work with a unison and harmony that is wonderful to behold. The German team vulled minus all these advantages. I uow hope to see the German turners como for- ward and otganize out of tucir membership a toam to compote with the winners of tho Coliseum tournament. The Germans have always possessed the proud distinetion of being the masters of the athletic world here in the Missouri vallay, and [ have the faith in them, under good leadersbiy, to belicve that they can continue to hold it.
