THE LIFE. Jnne 28. BASE BALL. TROUBLE FOR CLUBS. TEE SABBATARIANS STILL EYERYWHERE. ACTIVE Arrests in Rochester and Des Moines No More Trouble in Wash- ington-Two Club Victories. The crusade against Sunday ball playing continues in various parts of the country, without checking the practice, but greatly annoying clubs and players. The Rochester and Syracuse clubs played again last Sunday and were not molested. On Monday, how- ever, their fancied security came to an end. The two teams played an exhibition game at Elmira on that day. As they were about to Jeave the hotel for the grounds, Herbert Agate, of the Law and Order Society at Iron- de<(uoit, Zuchery P. Taylor, a Rochester law- yir. and William Parmeter, an officer, armed with warrants for the players for Sunday ball playing, appeared and arrested them on war- rants issued by Justice K. N. Coy, of Ironde- qtioit, which charged the players in the game of the day before with Sabbath- bnaking. Some of the players could not be found, but sixteen of them, John Nelson, Herman Pitz, William O'Brien, M. J. Mattimore, Henry ftiraon, James Knowles, James McGuire, Thomas O'Brien, Frank Bowes, Henry Blau- velt. J. J. Gerhurdt, Harry Lyons, Edward Daily, Tobias C. Griffin, Marr Phillips and T. j'S-'liefflcr were arrested as they were about to go to the ball grounds to play an ex- hibition game. Local sportsmen engaged Jacob Schwartz to defend me men and Recorder O'Connell paroled them in the charge of Chief of Police Little until 7 o'clock this evening. They were arraigned in the police court and the recorder accepted $100 bail in each ease, Walker S. Lee, of Rochester, becoming the security in each case. The recorder ad- journed the eases of the Rochester players until July 19, their next date at home, and fixed the return date of the Brooklyn players fit Oct. 4, their next appearance in Rochester. TKOUHLE IN THF. WEST. The Des Moines Club, of the Western Asso- ciation, has not been a financial success so far, and, in order to tide over it resolved to attempt to play Sunday games at home. Ac- cordingly, last Sunday, 22d, the first profes- sional game of base ball ever played Sunday in Des Moines occurred. Mayor Campbell Saturday refused to issue a permit, but the management concluded to go ahead. The local papers united in indorsing the gameand Turning all the officers that any interference was not desired. The attendance was large more than 2000. At the close of the first inning a squad of policemen, headed by Marshal Stutsman, en- tered the grounds. They were loudly hissed and hooted by the spectators. The players and umpire were placed under arrest. After a short parley the Marshal consented to re- lease the players if they would furnish secu- rity for their appearance in the police court on Monday morning. Fred Hubbell, Jr., a young half-millionaire, immediately note for the amount required and tbj was finished. SUNDAY PLAYING CHARITABLE WORK. Judge Eggleston, of the Des Moines police cnnrt, placed himself on record on Monday as deciding that base ball playing on Sunday is charitable work, being necessary for the sup- port of players' families. The entire outfit of St. Paul and Des Moines players who on Sunday were nrrajufld ; n Day June 23. The inforuf£tj 01| was Tawn under 1 til! s'tt'llofi of til* l!l(f ordinance prohibiting the giving of any theatrical or operatic performance on Sunday. Their counsel fifed a demurrer, setting forth that the act of ball playing is not prohibited, and that they were really engaged in charitable work for the support of their families. The court sustained the demurrer and the teams were discharged. So hereafter Sunday ball playing, in Des Moines at least, will be charity benefits for the players' wives and babies. THE SITUATION IN WASHINGTON. Making a test case of the law against Sun- day base ball playing in Washington has been abandoned, temporarily at least. It would be interesting to have a decision of the law in the case. The commissioners say that they cau revoke the permit. The ball man- agement would sue for a mandamus, and on the hearing of the motion much interesting argument would be made. MrvHewitt, how- ever, is unwilling to stir up any unnecessary discussson of the matter, for he says he goes into Sunday ball playing here with reluct- ance, being unwilling to oppose any part of public seutin.ent in the matter. A VICTOIIV FOB SUNDAY BALL. In the suits brought at Easton, Pa., by P. S. Hulsizer, representing the Law and Order Society, against T. G. Daub, president; W. R. Parks secretary; Henry Rothrock, treasurer; Dr. O. K. Arndt and Aaron Walter, stock- holders of the Kaston Base Ball Club, for be- ing interested in Sunday baseball playing, Alderman Young on June 25 gave his deci- sion in favor of the defendants and directed the complainants to pay the costs. The Easton and Allentown clubs will play at Chain Dam Island Sunday afternoon. BAKNIE'S TEST CASE. Sheriff Armiper, of Anne Arundel county. JId. says State's Attorney Munroe has fixed July 2 as the date for a hearing in the habeas corpus case of Manager Barnie, which will involve a test of the Sunday base ball law in Maryland. Mr. Baruie has the right to select the place for the hearing, and also the judge who will try the case. \Vilmingtonhavecontt..,." u . . put aud hold us in second place, i ne u ,.M- more papers are hugging the delusion that they are going to kill our pitchers vtktii we get there, but wait until they meet. "Bill" l)oran swears by the shade of his native Athens that he will "pitch that old wing o(F' or win, and Bill i-<tn pitch, when he tries. His excellent work continues and four or five hits off him is considered enough by any club. Horner had a string on the Worcesters Monday and pulled it good and Imrd; they got two hits. Tbere is not in any league to- day a club that cau boast a corps of pitcbcrs to equal ours. Snap Lang is playing won- derful ball at short field, and with due recog- nition of the ability of Tom Corcoran, whom he succeeded, New Haven never had a bet- ter short stop than good, earnest "Snap." ODDS AND ENDS. Dr. Cahill has invented or discovered some medicine a small quantity of which clears a man's eye and gives it the power to magnify. This accounts for his great batting, the ball comes up to him as big as a watermelon. By the way, I'm very glad that my predic- tion as to the work ot Tom Corcoran is being verified. He in an ideal ball player, and in his position superior to nine-tenths of the old stars. Hofford catches all games and doesn't mind it a little bit. McKee is delighting his many friends by his clever work in the field and at the bat. Mrs. Schoeneck accompanies her husband on this trip and Lew is hitting the ball harder than ever. New Haven refused an offer of a thousand dollars to play one game on Sunday at Balti- more. How's that, Mr. Mott? Purple is the prevailing style up here. C. THE ILLINOIS-JOWA LEAGUE.

Why the Collegians Played at Brother. h<i«d Park—Tne Home Club's Splendid Work, Etc. NK\V HAVEN, Conn., June 25. Editor Bi'DJiTiNO LIFK: This item appeared in a Boston daily this week: "The Now York League magnates wore very sore becuiisi-the Yale-Fri ceton pame waa played on the BrUliorhood grounds. It shows lhat the sympathies of the c'-illege boys are with the Brotherhood aud next jearyou will find Hie Players' League and college tuajna playing together." Let me shed a little light on the case. Sympathy cut no figure in the ease, while the avarice of the League magnates had much to do with the selection of the Brother- hood grounds. The college men waited upon Mr. Day, in New York, and asked upon what terms-the Polo Grounds could be secured for the game. They were informed that one- third of the gate receipts (if my informant is correct) would be about right. This was equivalent to a charge of over $100(), which the eollegcans rightly deemed extortionate. Negotiations were then 'opened with the Brotherhood people, who were wise enough to otter better inducements to the college ball players. A precedent hns been established and it probably will be followed in future. PAY'S MISTAKE. 5fr. Day's treatment of the representatives of Yale and Princeton can be accounted for only by the assumption that his business tact and sagacity was sacrificed to greed. In the early season Mr. Day was extremely solic- itous that all clubs under the National Agree- ment would do nothing likely to cause any dissatisfaction to the collegians. Mr. Dav rc- ognizt*! the necessity of doing everything t>r harmony when he was not asked to do his share, but when an opportunity presented ftselfto favor the colleges his preachings were forgotten. Collegians are proverbially elnmiish and tenacious of memory over a supposed injustice, and the National League h s not gained by the narrow action of the New York management. THE NEW HAVEN'S CLIMB.

Sunday Games Not Necessary to Flnancla Success in the Illinois-Iowa League— Clubs Making Money, Etc. MONMOUTH, 111., Jan. 25. Editor SPORT ING LIFE: The opening of the eighth wee in the race for the pennant finds Monmouth Ottawa, Dubuqne and Ottumwa closel; bunched for first place in the order named During the week just passed Monmouth an Ottawa have added to their playing strengtl while Dubuque and Ottumwa have, by ace dent and otherwise, depreciated. Aurora ha gained strength, as has also Joliet and Ceda Rapids. The leaders have learned one fac i. e., that the fun they have been wont to ex pect when facing the tail-enders is a thing c the past, and that they must now play ball they secure the silk banner in Septembe Even Sterling, which has not shown a wii ning gait since the gong sounded on May has got together some players that have sprung two consecutive surprises on the once invincible Dubiiqes, and by strengthening one or two weak points may yet teach the leaders "That he laughs best who laughs last." A SUCCESSFUL BLUFF. The Sterling team from the outset have been handicapped both by indecision at home and in the management. The "bluff" made by the League directors was with a view to remedy this or place a town in line with Inore_sam). Sterling showed conclusively that she was made of good material and that all that was necessary was a stirring up. Since her supporters have been warmed up attendance at games has doubled, and by a little more discretion in selecting players, in a word tbe infusion of more business and less sentiment. There is no good reason why the club should not be a success. While not the largest, Sterling is probably the prettiest city in the League, possessed of nearly all the modern improvements, beautifully situ- ated, and in all things push and energy are visible, aud now that her people have placed their club an equal footing with all the others, by putting up the $500 guarantee to finish the season, they have not only benefited themselves but have removed the only doubt that existed in regard to the absolute solidity of our League, than which there is uo better in this country. NO SUNDAY GAMES NEEDED. \Ve have already demonstrated to our peo- ple, and will eventually to the country at large that many things that were considered indispensable to the success of minor leagues notably Sunday ball playing, etc. are not important factors. We theorize that a ball player should rest on one day of the week as much as other ueople, aud that by according him that privilege we secure better work during the week days than we otherwise could expect, and the playing of our differ- ent clubs sustains the theory. Not a league iu America is making a better showing on the field this season than is being done in the Illinois and Iowa League, both as regards excellent ball playing and general deport- ment. Probably fewer cases of insubordina- tion than in any similar organization ever formed. The majority of ourclubs will make money, and none of them will lose much money. Fa- vorable weather until the close of the season must be productive of a handsome showing all round. Up to the present the weather has been precarious, indeed, resulting in the post ponement of not less than thirty-two games and it is safe to say that two-thirds of those played have been depreciated fifty per cent Delauey, 2b..S 000 Miller, in. ...4 2 0 11 tlcCJuald. ct.. 4 0 2 1 Trost, C........4 017 Laner, 3I>..... 4002 Bharp, K......3 002 Fuller, SS.....3 001 Kirby, rf ...... 300" Doli Total EransTille .................... 1 Burlington.................... 1 Two-base hit Sbugort.

BURLINGTON, la., June 23. Editor SPORTINS LIFE: The past week has been one of excite- ment at this place and Evansville, as it has been a battle between the two clubs to see who would be tbe leader before we got away from Evansville. The games for tbtit place were scheduled for June 19, 20 and 21, but were changed to June 18, 19 and 20, on account of our boys not being able to get homo in time for the 22d. We lost tho first game by errors and Andorson's wildness, but won the next two by finer all-round playing and Stephen's fine pitch- ing, he holding them down to three singles in the second game, and in the third game he re- lieved Andersen in the fifth inning, who was being touched op lively, and during tho last four innings not a hit was made off lib great work. We had second place for twenty-four hours only two points difference between the two clubs. It was a red-letter day for Evausville people when their club stood at the bead for twenty-four hours; bnt what BBdposs aud wailing tbere must be dowu there now. In their payers sucb headlines as these might have been seen: "We are the poodle," "In first place," "What's the matter with Evansville." "The following was found in an Evansville paper of last T hursday: "Now that we have AJiint iialil on the throttle we mean to run this race to tult ourselves, aud all effort* lo check us will be unavailing." This must be galling to illem at present. In the three games, or rather two games and fonr innings, Stebhen bas pitched agaiust the EvtmRV!l!e9 Dot tight hits have been made off of his delivery. He seeuis to buve wonderful comnmud of tho bttll, Is cool, anil can always be depended on to do his beat while In (lie box. He hits mor? speed this season than last, and the way he mows down the batters is a caution. He gives but few bases on ball*, preferring to let the fielders have a chance for work. In the third game at Terre Haute (she only one out of three that we captured there ou this last trip) Andeiuou put up a great game at left field, haviug six pui-outs to his credit and no errors. Shmiert is the short stop of this League and the club that captures him will gut ft dandy, that's certain. He isquiekon his teet and throwstj first likea shot. lie is a nrst-cla*s ba*e-runuer aud batter, COai If a Willner, the newly elected secretary, Is a younc lawyer of this city aud has all the requirements to uiako a good successor to Ex-Secretary Chambrrlin. He it! tile captain of our local military company (Co. U, 2d Uogt., Iowa National Guard), lie is an old ball player, having played with the Burlington nines some years ago. "Pat'tt" Hities was called home Monday, but left on Tuesdiy night for Evannvllle In time to catch Auder- son Wednesday. The idea of Van Zant being sat down on by the umpire at Terre Haute is a hard one to understand, but 'tis said he was very weak the next day. It mutt have been a touching sight to seo him keep quiet for any sh;>rt spaco of time when ou the ball fluid. Vurney Anderaon bas lost two games so far this .asou, but as a fielder and baiter ranks Al. He is a ue liuud work pitcher also, as his games will tes- fv to. President Buttles received a letter from the Peoria lub Krii.ay with the following resolution: Rttolcfd, That we, the directors of the Peoria Base all Club, demand the immediate release of E. T. Me- eelev fa president of this League, aud that the posi- ou be teuuered to Mr. Kidgely, of Springfield, aud bat Secretary Spink be notlllnd to that effect. (Signed) JOHN MoALLiBTi:», Secretary. Howls this for nerve. It seems that something Is miss, certain. The League bod better investigate lis resolution and see what can be done towards get. ng everything iu good bhape once mure. The following nuy be ot Interest to his many riends iu this League: A tourist party consisting of '. W. Cbsmhcrlln, T. O. Newmau and Mr. anil Mr*, bas.

They put up flue name for eight Innings, but went to pieces ami Mowed the home club to pile up ten runs ou six hits nd five errors iu tbe ninth. Score: Burlington 13, ndlanaptlid 3. Burke pitched a good game, but let own in tbe ninth, when our b iye laced him out in verv direction. Crowell held the visitors down to ix hits (three bunched iu the fifth, with an error for wo runs), well-scattered, he having excellent support. It Is due to Ex-Secretary Chaiuberlin'i efforts th.t re have telegraphic communication with the other ,rounds of this League. It was inaugurated at this lace yesterday (Sunday), and proved a great feature. t will be quite a card now, and should be the means f Increased attendance, as It is actually throe games or the one price of admission. Th;inks should be ten- ered the late chairman of the executive board of this .eague for bis work in Its behalf. Breckenridgo is qnlte a runner. Crowell's flue sprinting yetste.'day from first base to home plate on Shugert'i drive for three bases was leartlly applauded. Brock's cne-hauded stop of Shnsert's high throw ind put-out of the base-runner yesterday elicited a torra of applause. Andy Tully'i catching yesterday woe immense, not i baa e stolon on him.

The League Club's Rocky Bond Accnsa- tiona of Poor Management The 1'layers Doing Well The Telegraph War Con- tinues News, Etc. PlTTSBUKG, June 25. Editor SPORTING LIFE: Pittsburgh League organization is still somewhat of a mystery. There is no use of kicking the club because it is down, but as the average patron or ex-patron thinks room for improvement in the club exists, there can be no harm in mentioning just how matters stand. It is no use talking, the recent trip to Philadelphia, where phenomenon after phe- nomenon was tried with poor success, has disgusted a good many people. Last Thurs- day, when the club went away the nine had played a cracking good game with Crane at short and Laroque second a strong game, in fact. The team goes to Philadelphia, and here a change is made and two young men named Gilbert, from Soup no, Pottstown, go in ami help to lose a game, and yesterday a dentist, named Clements, was put in at short to help drop another game. Mr. O'Neill undertook to explain this state of affairs to-day by saying that live men were siek. This may be so, hut one player was in- dustriously ridiculing his assertion this after- noon and asserting he was only trying Hau- l-lull's finds. AN OLD ONE WON OVER. Doubtless Mr. O'Xeill will be surprised to learn that even few old League enthusiasts think much of his management and advocate a change of some sort. "1 had to go over and see a Players' League game finally," said Clem Keymer, a staunch League man ever since the revolt started. "Confound it, the League club was never here when wanted. Besides, it is changed about so much in the field by somebody that you can't tell who is going to play ball." Remarks of this sort are easily heard, and some have addeudas not a bit complimentary to Mr. O'Neill's way of doing things. Mr. O'Neill this afternoon claimed that he had in no way interfered with Manager Hecker on the recent trip to Philaiie'p'iia. "Those stories," he said "are the work of Brotherhood reporters. Mr. Kandall also did not interfere. Mr. Kandall has accomplished some good work for this club. Decker and Bowman, for instance. I tell you both arc good ones. Bowman is a left-hander and after the second inning at Philadelphia pitched magnificently. With Kurd, I shall have three six-foot pitchers, all strong and hearty." WHO HAS CHARGE? Now let me descant a little more about the mystery. Mr. Nimick has told some persons that he had resumed the office of president last week, leaving Mr. O'Neill as managingdirector ana tional 231. Mr. Hecker as manager. He had laid down ' their duties and there was no chance for a conflict. The batting order he had made out and it was to remain that way. To other per- sons Mr. Nimick has asserted he hadn't any- thing to do with the club any more, but still possessed his interest. As to the practice of transferring home dates he didn't believe in it, but Mr. O'Neill was doing it all. What story are you to believe? The writer clings to the first. It is believed that Mr. O'Neill failed to take advantage of his option and all reverted to the owners. Mr. O'Neill has no other business interests for the present and is handling the club. STAND FOR THEMSELVES. The old penchant for sizing up deals re- turned to the writer this week, tor two ele- gant instances came before him. They relate to the work of the League. No comment will be made, they stand for themselves. About four weeks ago Denny Fitzgeiald, the Boston short stop, was signed. Denny had a lame ankle, but was brought on herewith the un- derstanding that he would go in when his ikle was better. The club boarded him at ie Central Hotel. Every now and then it ould be given out that Fitz would be played, ut he never appeared. Last Thursday night hen Fitz was seen hustling along Fifth venue he yelled to the writer: "I'm going > Philly; guess I'll go in to-morrow." But itz never went in. lie was released in hiladelphia without a trial. Instance No. 2 is a little different. W. IV 'owell recommended to the club George iegler, just home from a long st:iy in San rancisco and not acclimated. Ziegler was iveu $o() on agreeing to join the club. He itched two days later, was hit hard, lost the ame and was let go, bnt he had the $.50. His rieuds say he can pitch under fair conditions. THE FIKST EASTERN VISITORS. Buffinton's Phillies, minus Kory Hallmau, who went home siek, departed for Buffalo ist night. They were convinced that the ^ittsburg Players' Club lias been playing all, and all thoughts of three out of four are anished. The teams split even in two close ames, one a walk-over for Pittsburg and the thcr a clean gift by an off-day infield. Sat- rday's game was easily won by Pittsburg 7 1, Butfinton and Staley pitchers. Monday's ame fell to Philadelphia, because Corcoran, Cuohne and Kobinson fumbled just before lie hits came, and Galvinwas wild with rage, anders pitched this game. But the game of he scries was that played yesterday. The ome men won 3 to 2, having a close call in lie ninth. Such a contest won back all the rieuds lost on Monday. A BOOT $3000 AHEAD. Manager Hanlon was spoken to about that vild yarn sent to a Cleveland paper that the Mttsburg Players' Club was in bad shape inancially. "There is no use of those kind f stories now," said Mr. Hanlon. "They nly do us good. I don't believe that there is a club in the Players' League that isn't inak- ng a dollar or two. That bad spell of veather recently hurt us, but I didn't hear of anybody squealing. I feel certain they are all right just now, and from this on will pull .ut." The Pittsburg Club - is all right thus far inyway. This is authentic. THE W. U. STILL ON TAP. That is a most amusing fight going on be- :ween the Postal and Western Union corn-- :)auies for wire privileges at the Players' :'ark. The Postal company paid $rJ50 for the privilege, but ever since the opening the Western Union has been getting the material and actually beating its rival in speed. The I'ostal people thought they had located the W. U. wire in a railroad shop about one mndred yards away, and recently an addi- tion was put on the high fence in that vicinity, but to no use. A few days ago they :iy a Postal employee was put in the grand stand to locate all he could. It is said that he sat beside the Western Union man who did the signs for those on the outside and was not awareof it. By a system, it is said, the West- ern Union gets all the score material oil the outside. A DISSERTATION ON SCORE CARDS. The man who bought the score card privi- lege for the Players' park isn't making such a poor investment. He sells about one to every three persons on an average. Sales are freakish, and very frequently it booms. On opening day he managed to dispose of three thousand cards. It has never reached that by half since. The cut-down in the price of admission was a big help to him. People think they can spare a nickel sooner now. As yet he has had no trouble with outsiders, a difficulty which be- set the old League management last season. BUFF AND HIS MEN. James Fogarty has a cinch on a Pennsylva- line. Harry Staley, down to weight, sent the ball whizzing in yesterday. Farrar struck out on neck-high speeders and the crowd went wild. Parts of theifloral fireman, pre« sented to Gavie on opening day, arc lying on, the grand stand roof. DUSTED BIRDS. This afternoon Paul Hiues was discovered standing in front of the Seventh Avcuuo Hotel, looking as mad as if he had lost $1000. "They won't pay me," said Paul, as the writer approached. Then the veteran puiled out an envelope scrawled with figures. "They owe me $256.08, and I'm going to get it. 1 have written Nick Young. They won't give me my ten days," Paul was very indignant, and pro- mises some fun for Mr. O'Neill. The latter claims Hines owes the club. Dallas has signed with McKeesport and is playing third in place of Julius. The latter was released in order to cut down expenses. To-day the Bostons (N. L.) opened a series at Recreation Park. The team is at the Seventh Avenue Hotel and so there is no danger of any conflict between players, as the old Giants are at the Andersoii. Billy Gumbert will stick to pitching here- after. Last season he essayed to be an all- around man. He has speed and all the curves. Sam LaRoque is a good story teller. He knows enough about Ducky Hemp to keep a crowd laughing all evening. Jack the Ripper, a canine which George Miller once thought was invincible, was de- feated for the second time the other night. Billy Sunday should deliver one of his lectures in this city. McKeesport's business men are beginning to appreciate the advertisement given the little town by the crack club and are taking out season tickets. Frank Torreysou cannot explain the falling off. The club has played good ball and was way up. The writer always held that the park was poorly located, but the manager thought otherwise. Mrs. Ned Hanlou is a daily attendant at Players' Park. Six-fingered Gray goes back to his Indian- apolis home. Harry T. Smith missed his guess on this man. Since my last letter the Players have aver- aged 2000 people to a game. Saturday doubt- ful weather prevented a 4000 crowd. Had the Pittsburg League Club stayed at home and played good ball the writer thinks they would have had a good share of the crowds attending the Players, even though the Players have a stronger organization and grounds twelve minutes'nearer town. It is no wonder the club is not in it. Guess some credit will have to be given Raudall for getting Decker. He is playing base ball and already leads the team in hit- ting. Robinson is not liked by Exposition Park crowds. He was taken out to-day by request. To-day's attendance: Players, 2452; Na- ' " CIRCLE. 'THE N. Y. AND PA. LEAGUE.

Jerry Hurley is still a bench-warmer, but keeps in trim. He may be called on at any time. Jock Fields frightened a few of Buf- falo's pitchers. Tommy Corcoran played a mean game on Monday, but spread himself in great style yesterday. Robby lays for that lively ball and plays second about thirty feet back of the line. Joe Visucr was the most astonished man oil the field yesterday. He tried for a sacrifice aud made a hit down, the TJPPEK PENINSULA LEAGUE. The Schedule Revised and Number of Gamea Increased Results of tlie Cam- paign. MABQUETTE, Jnne 19. More base ball. That has been the cry from the start, and flite League has to yield to the demand. A con- vention was accordingly held at Hancock and a. proposition submitted to double tiie schedule. The copper country delegates op- posed so decided an increase and a compro- mise was finally reached ou 120 gamcs,^an increase of 30 over tbe original schedule. The new schedule will take effect next week. Ishpeming has just completed a tour of the copper country and returned with a solitary scalp, which Calumet contributed after a hard struggle. At Hancock and Houglitou the home clubs were victorious. Two thous- and spectators witnessed each game. Augus- tine pitched his first game with Hon.sliton, last Sunday and fulfilled all expectations. Tuesday a postponed game with Marqnette was played here. At the beginning of the last inning the score stood 5 to 3 in favor of Marquette, hut a little strategy on Houghton's part rattled Schultz and the visitors pounded him for eleven runs, eight of them without a put-out. Wilder, of Lansiug, has been signed by Marquette, aud Kingsley, who skipped Isli- peming, has returned to that town, finding himself without a job by the dissolution of the State League. Mamstee's application ior admission to the tipper peninsula league has been rejected, and that city has made over- tures to the International.

BASE BALL.TROUBLE FOR CLUBS.TEE SABBATARIANS STILL

Arrests in Rochester and Des Moines No More Trouble in Wash­

ington-Two Club Victories.The crusade against Sunday ball playing

continues in various parts of the country, without checking the practice, but greatly annoying clubs and players. The Rochester and Syracuse clubs played again last Sunday and were not molested. On Monday, how­ ever, their fancied security came to an end. The two teams played an exhibition game at Elmira on that day. As they were about to Jeave the hotel for the grounds, Herbert Agate, of the Law and Order Society at Iron- de<(uoit, Zuchery P. Taylor, a Rochester law- yir. and William Parmeter, an officer, armed with warrants for the players for Sunday ball playing, appeared and arrested them on war­ rants issued by Justice K. N. Coy, of Ironde- qtioit, which charged the players in the game of the day before with Sabbath- bnaking.

Some of the players could not be found, but sixteen of them, John Nelson, Herman Pitz, William O'Brien, M. J. Mattimore, Henry ftiraon, James Knowles, James McGuire, Thomas O'Brien, Frank Bowes, Henry Blau- velt. J. J. Gerhurdt, Harry Lyons, Edward Daily, Tobias C. Griffin, Marr Phillips and T. j'S-'liefflcr were arrested as they were about to go to the ball grounds to play an ex­ hibition game.

Local sportsmen engaged Jacob Schwartz to defend me men and Recorder O'Connell paroled them in the charge of Chief of Police Little until 7 o'clock this evening. They were arraigned in the police court and the recorder accepted $100 bail in each ease, Walker S. Lee, of Rochester, becoming the security in each case. The recorder ad­ journed the eases of the Rochester players until July 19, their next date at home, and fixed the return date of the Brooklyn players fit Oct. 4, their next appearance in Rochester.

TKOUHLE IN THF. WEST. The Des Moines Club, of the Western Asso­

ciation, has not been a financial success so far, and, in order to tide over it resolved to attempt to play Sunday games at home. Ac­ cordingly, last Sunday, 22d, the first profes­ sional game of base ball ever played Sunday in Des Moines occurred. Mayor Campbell Saturday refused to issue a permit, but the management concluded to go ahead. The local papers united in indorsing the gameand Turning all the officers that any interference was not desired. The attendance was large more than 2000.

At the close of the first inning a squad of policemen, headed by Marshal Stutsman, en­ tered the grounds. They were loudly hissed and hooted by the spectators. The players and umpire were placed under arrest. After a short parley the Marshal consented to re­ lease the players if they would furnish secu­ rity for their appearance in the police court on Monday morning. Fred Hubbell, Jr., a young half-millionaire, immediately note for the amount required and tbj was finished.

SUNDAY PLAYING CHARITABLE WORK. Judge Eggleston, of the Des Moines police

cnnrt, placed himself on record on Monday as deciding that base ball playing on Sunday is charitable work, being necessary for the sup­ port of players' families. The entire outfit of St. Paul and Des Moines players who

on Sunday were nrrajufld ;n Day June 23. The inforuf£tj 01| was

Tawn under1 til! s'tt'llofi of til* l!l(f ordinance prohibiting the giving of any theatrical or operatic performance on Sunday. Their counsel fifed a demurrer, setting forth that the act of ball playing is not prohibited, and that they were really engaged in charitable work for the support of their families. The court sustained the demurrer and the teams were discharged. So hereafter Sunday ball playing, in Des Moines at least, will be charity benefits for the players' wives and babies.

THE SITUATION IN WASHINGTON.Making a test case of the law against Sun­

day base ball playing in Washington has been abandoned, temporarily at least. It would be interesting to have a decision of the law in the case. The commissioners say that they cau revoke the permit. The ball man­ agement would sue for a mandamus, and on the hearing of the motion much interesting argument would be made. MrvHewitt, how­ ever, is unwilling to stir up any unnecessary discussson of the matter, for he says he goes into Sunday ball playing here with reluct­ ance, being unwilling to oppose any part of public seutin.ent in the matter.

A VICTOIIV FOB SUNDAY BALL.In the suits brought at Easton, Pa., by P.

S. Hulsizer, representing the Law and Order Society, against T. G. Daub, president; W. R. Parks secretary; Henry Rothrock, treasurer; Dr. O. K. Arndt and Aaron Walter, stock­ holders of the Kaston Base Ball Club, for be­ ing interested in Sunday baseball playing, Alderman Young on June 25 gave his deci­ sion in favor of the defendants and directed the complainants to pay the costs. The Easton and Allentown clubs will play at Chain Dam Island Sunday afternoon.

BAKNIE'S TEST CASE.Sheriff Armiper, of Anne Arundel county.

JId. says State's Attorney Munroe has fixed July 2 as the date for a hearing in the habeas corpus case of Manager Barnie, which will involve a test of the Sunday base ball law in Maryland. Mr. Baruie has the right to select the place for the hearing, and also the judge who will try the case.

\Vilmingtonhavecontt..,." u . . put aud hold us in second place, i ne u ,.M- more papers are hugging the delusion that they are going to kill our pitchers vtktii we get there, but wait until they meet. "Bill" l)oran swears by the shade of his native Athens that he will "pitch that old wing o(F' or win, and Bill i-<tn pitch, when he tries. His excellent work continues and four or five hits off him is considered enough by any club. Horner had a string on the Worcesters Monday and pulled it good and Imrd; they got two hits. Tbere is not in any league to­ day a club that cau boast a corps of pitcbcrs to equal ours. Snap Lang is playing won­ derful ball at short field, and with due recog­ nition of the ability of Tom Corcoran, whom he succeeded, New Haven never had a bet­ ter short stop than good, earnest "Snap."

ODDS AND ENDS.Dr. Cahill has invented or discovered some

medicine a small quantity of which clears a man's eye and gives it the power to magnify. This accounts for his great batting, the ball comes up to him as big as a watermelon.

By the way, I'm very glad that my predic­ tion as to the work ot Tom Corcoran is being verified. He in an ideal ball player, and in his position superior to nine-tenths of the old stars.

Hofford catches all games and doesn't mind it a little bit.

McKee is delighting his many friends by his clever work in the field and at the bat.

Mrs. Schoeneck accompanies her husband on this trip and Lew is hitting the ball harder than ever.

New Haven refused an offer of a thousand dollars to play one game on Sunday at Balti­ more. How's that, Mr. Mott?

Purple is the prevailing style up here. C.

NEW HAVEN NOTES.Why the Collegians Played at Brother.

h<i«d Park—Tne Home Club's Splendid Work, Etc.NK\V HAVEN, Conn., June 25. Editor

Bi'DJiTiNO LIFK: This item appeared in a Boston daily this week:

"The Now York League magnates wore very sore becuiisi-the Yale-Fri ceton pame waa played on the BrUliorhood grounds. It shows lhat the sympathies of the c'-illege boys are with the Brotherhood aud next jearyou will find Hie Players' League and college tuajna playing together."

Let me shed a little light on the case. Sympathy cut no figure in the ease, while the avarice of the League magnates had much to do with the selection of the Brother­ hood grounds. The college men waited upon Mr. Day, in New York, and asked upon what terms-the Polo Grounds could be secured for the game. They were informed that one- third of the gate receipts (if my informant is correct) would be about right. This was equivalent to a charge of over $100(), which the eollegcans rightly deemed extortionate. Negotiations were then 'opened with the Brotherhood people, who were wise enough to otter better inducements to the college ball players. A precedent hns been established and it probably will be followed in future.

PAY'S MISTAKE.5fr. Day's treatment of the representatives

of Yale and Princeton can be accounted for only by the assumption that his business tact and sagacity was sacrificed to greed. In the early season Mr. Day was extremely solic­ itous that all clubs under the National Agree­ ment would do nothing likely to cause any dissatisfaction to the collegians. Mr. Dav rc- ognizt*! the necessity of doing everything t>r harmony when he was not asked to do his share, but when an opportunity presented ftselfto favor the colleges his preachings were forgotten. Collegians are proverbially elnmiish and tenacious of memory over a supposed injustice, and the National League h s not gained by the narrow action of the New York management.

A MODEI. LITTLE 1EAGCE.Sunday Games Not Necessary to Flnancla

Success in the Illinois-Iowa League— Clubs Making Money, Etc.MONMOUTH, 111., Jan. 25. Editor SPORT

ING LIFE: The opening of the eighth wee in the race for the pennant finds Monmouth Ottawa, Dubuqne and Ottumwa closel; bunched for first place in the order named During the week just passed Monmouth an Ottawa have added to their playing strengtl while Dubuque and Ottumwa have, by ace dent and otherwise, depreciated. Aurora ha gained strength, as has also Joliet and Ceda Rapids. The leaders have learned one fac i. e., that the fun they have been wont to ex pect when facing the tail-enders is a thing c the past, and that they must now play ball they secure the silk banner in Septembe Even Sterling, which has not shown a wii ning gait since the gong sounded on May has got together some players that have sprung two consecutive surprises on the once invincible Dubiiqes, and by strengthening one or two weak points may yet teach the leaders "That he laughs best who laughs last."

A SUCCESSFUL BLUFF.The Sterling team from the outset have

been handicapped both by indecision at home and in the management. The "bluff" made by the League directors was with a view to remedy this or place a town in line with Inore_sam). Sterling showed conclusively that she was made of good material and that all that was necessary was a stirring up. Since her supporters have been warmed up attendance at games has doubled, and by a little more discretion in selecting players, in a word tbe infusion of more business and less sentiment. There is no good reason why the club should not be a success. While not the largest, Sterling is probably the prettiest city in the League, possessed of nearly all the modern improvements, beautifully situ­ ated, and in all things push and energy are visible, aud now that her people have placed their club an equal footing with all the others, by putting up the $500 guarantee to finish the season, they have not only benefited themselves but have removed the only doubt that existed in regard to the absolute solidity of our League, than which there is uo better in this country.

NO SUNDAY GAMES NEEDED.\Ve have already demonstrated to our peo­

ple, and will eventually to the country at large that many things that were considered indispensable to the success of minor leagues notably Sunday ball playing, etc. are not important factors. We theorize that a ball player should rest on one day of the week as much as other ueople, aud that by according him that privilege we secure better work during the week days than we otherwise could expect, and the playing of our differ­ ent clubs sustains the theory. Not a league iu America is making a better showing on the field this season than is being done in the Illinois and Iowa League, both as regards excellent ball playing and general deport­ ment. Probably fewer cases of insubordina­ tion than in any similar organization ever formed.

The majority of ourclubs will make money, and none of them will lose much money. Fa­ vorable weather until the close of the season must be productive of a handsome showing all round. Up to the present the weather has been precarious, indeed, resulting in the post ponement of not less than thirty-two games and it is safe to say that two-thirds of those played have been depreciated fifty per cent

INTERSTATE NEWS.A Hot Struggle For the Pennant—Burling­

ton's Good Fight—A Remarkable Reso­ lution Agaiunt President McNeeley— General Gossip.BURLINGTON, la., June 23. Editor SPORTINS

LIFE: The past week has been one of excite­ ment at this place and Evansville, as it has been a battle between the two clubs to see who would be tbe leader before we got away from Evansville. The games for tbtit place were scheduled for June 19, 20 and 21, but were changed to June 18, 19 and 20, on account of our boys not being able to get homo in time for the 22d. We lost tho first game by errors and Andorson's wildness, but won the next two by finer all-round playing and Stephen's fine pitch­ ing, he holding them down to three singles in the second game, and in the third game he re­ lieved Andersen in the fifth inning, who was being touched op lively, and during tho last four innings not a hit was made off lib great work.

We had second place for twenty-four hours only two points difference between the two clubs. It was a red-letter day for Evausville people when their club stood at the bead for twenty-four hours; bnt what BBdposs aud wailing tbere must be dowu there now. In their payers sucb headlines as these might have been seen: "We are the poodle," "In first place," "What's the matter with Evansville."

"The following was found in an Evansville paper of last T hursday: "Now that we have AJiint iialil on the throttle we mean to run this race to tult ourselves, aud all effort* lo check us will be unavailing." This must be galling to illem at present.

He seeuis to buve wonderful comnmud of tho bttll, Is cool, anil can always be depended on to do his beat while In (lie box. He hits mor? speed this season than last, and the way he mows down the batters is a caution. He gives but few bases on ball*, preferring to let the fielders have a chance for work.

In the third game at Terre Haute (she only one out of three that we captured there ou this last trip) Andeiuou put up a great game at left field, haviug six pui-outs to his credit and no errors.

"Pat'tt" Hities was called home Monday, but left on Tuesdiy night for Evannvllle In time to catch Auder- son Wednesday.

The idea of Van Zant being sat down on by the umpire at Terre Haute is a hard one to understand, but 'tis said he was very weak the next day. It mutt have been a touching sight to seo him keep quiet for any sh;>rt spaco of time when ou the ball fluid.

Burke pitched a good game, but let own in tbe ninth, when our b iye laced him out in verv direction. Crowell held the visitors down to ix hits (three bunched iu the fifth, with an error for wo runs), well-scattered, he having excellent support. It Is due to Ex-Secretary Chaiuberlin'i efforts th.t

It was inaugurated at this lace yesterday (Sunday), and proved a great feature. t will be quite a card now, and should be the means f Increased attendance, as It is actually throe games or the one price of admission.

PITTSBURG PENCILLINGS.The League Club's Rocky Bond Accnsa-

tiona of Poor Management The 1'layers Doing Well The Telegraph War Con­ tinues News, Etc.PlTTSBUKG, June 25. Editor SPORTING

LIFE: Pittsburgh League organization is still somewhat of a mystery. There is no use of kicking the club because it is down, but as the average patron or ex-patron thinks room for improvement in the club exists, there can be no harm in mentioning just how matters stand.

It is no use talking, the recent trip to Philadelphia, where phenomenon after phe­ nomenon was tried with poor success, has disgusted a good many people. Last Thurs­ day, when the club went away the nine had played a cracking good game with Crane at short and Laroque second a strong game, in fact.

The team goes to Philadelphia, and here a change is made and two young men named Gilbert, from Soup no, Pottstown, go in ami help to lose a game, and yesterday a dentist, named Clements, was put in at short to help drop another game.

Mr. O'Neill undertook to explain this state of affairs to-day by saying that live men were siek. This may be so, hut one player was in­ dustriously ridiculing his assertion this after­ noon and asserting he was only trying Hau­ l-lull's finds.

AN OLD ONE WON OVER.Doubtless Mr. O'Xeill will be surprised to

learn that even few old League enthusiasts think much of his management and advocate a change of some sort.

"1 had to go over and see a Players' League game finally," said Clem Keymer, a staunch League man ever since the revolt started. "Confound it, the League club was never here when wanted. Besides, it is changed about so much in the field by somebody that you can't tell who is going to play ball."

Remarks of this sort are easily heard, and some have addeudas not a bit complimentary to Mr. O'Neill's way of doing things. Mr. O'Neill this afternoon claimed that he had in no way interfered with Manager Hecker on the recent trip to Philaiie'p'iia.

"Those stories," he said "are the work of Brotherhood reporters. Mr. Kandall also did not interfere. Mr. Kandall has accomplished some good work for this club. Decker and Bowman, for instance. I tell you both arc good ones. Bowman is a left-hander and after the second inning at Philadelphia pitched magnificently. With Kurd, I shall have three six-foot pitchers, all strong and hearty."

WHO HAS CHARGE?Now let me descant a little more about the

mystery.Mr. Nimick has told some persons that he

had resumed the office of president last week, leaving Mr. O'Neill as managingdirector ana tional 231. Mr. Hecker as manager. He had laid down ' their duties and there was no chance for a conflict. The batting order he had made out and it was to remain that way. To other per­ sons Mr. Nimick has asserted he hadn't any­ thing to do with the club any more, but still possessed his interest. As to the practice of transferring home dates he didn't believe in it, but Mr. O'Neill was doing it all. What story are you to believe? The writer clings to the first. It is believed that Mr. O'Neill failed to take advantage of his option and all reverted to the owners.

Mr. O'Neill has no other business interests for the present and is handling the club.

STAND FOR THEMSELVES. The old penchant for sizing up deals re­

turned to the writer this week, tor two ele­ gant instances came before him. They relate to the work of the League. No comment will be made, they stand for themselves. About four weeks ago Denny Fitzgeiald, the Boston short stop, was signed. Denny had a lame ankle, but was brought on herewith the un­ derstanding that he would go in when his

ikle was better. The club boarded him at ie Central Hotel. Every now and then it ould be given out that Fitz would be played, ut he never appeared. Last Thursday night hen Fitz was seen hustling along Fifth venue he yelled to the writer: "I'm going > Philly; guess I'll go in to-morrow." But itz never went in. lie was released in hiladelphia without a trial. Instance No. 2 is a little different. W. IV 'owell recommended to the club George iegler, just home from a long st:iy in San rancisco and not acclimated. Ziegler was iveu $o() on agreeing to join the club. He itched two days later, was hit hard, lost the ame and was let go, bnt he had the $.50. His rieuds say he can pitch under fair conditions.

THE FIKST EASTERN VISITORS. Buffinton's Phillies, minus Kory Hallmau,

who went home siek, departed for Buffalo ist night. They were convinced that the

^ittsburg Players' Club lias been playing all, and all thoughts of three out of four are anished. The teams split even in two close ames, one a walk-over for Pittsburg and the thcr a clean gift by an off-day infield. Sat- rday's game was easily won by Pittsburg 7

1, Butfinton and Staley pitchers. Monday's ame fell to Philadelphia, because Corcoran, Cuohne and Kobinson fumbled just before lie hits came, and Galvinwas wild with rage, anders pitched this game. But the game of he scries was that played yesterday. The ome men won 3 to 2, having a close call in lie ninth. Such a contest won back all the rieuds lost on Monday.

A BOOT $3000 AHEAD.Manager Hanlon was spoken to about that

vild yarn sent to a Cleveland paper that the Mttsburg Players' Club was in bad shape inancially. "There is no use of those kind f stories now," said Mr. Hanlon. "They nly do us good. I don't believe that there is

a club in the Players' League that isn't inak- ng a dollar or two. That bad spell of veather recently hurt us, but I didn't hear of anybody squealing. I feel certain they are all right just now, and from this on will pull .ut."

The Pittsburg Club - is all right thus far inyway. This is authentic.

THE W. U. STILL ON TAP.That is a most amusing fight going on be-

:ween the Postal and Western Union corn-- :)auies for wire privileges at the Players' :'ark. The Postal company paid $rJ50 for the privilege, but ever since the opening the Western Union has been getting the material and actually beating its rival in speed. The I'ostal people thought they had located the W. U. wire in a railroad shop about onemndred yards away, and recently an addi­

tion was put on the high fence in that vicinity, but to no use. A few days ago they

:iy a Postal employee was put in the grand stand to locate all he could. It is said that he sat beside the Western Union man who did the signs for those on the outside and was not awareof it. By a system, it is said, the West­ ern Union gets all the score material oil the outside.

A DISSERTATION ON SCORE CARDS.The man who bought the score card privi­

lege for the Players' park isn't making such a poor investment. He sells about one to every three persons on an average. Sales are freakish, and very frequently it booms. On opening day he managed to dispose of three thousand cards. It has never reached that by half since. The cut-down in the price of admission was a big help to him. People think they can spare a nickel sooner now. As yet he has had no trouble with outsiders, a difficulty which be­ set the old League management last season.

BUFF AND HIS MEN.James Fogarty has a cinch on a Pennsylva-

line. Harry Staley, down to weight, sent the ball whizzing in yesterday. Farrar struck out on neck-high speeders and the crowd went wild. Parts of theifloral fireman, pre« sented to Gavie on opening day, arc lying on, the grand stand roof.

DUSTED BIRDS.This afternoon Paul Hiues was discovered

standing in front of the Seventh Avcuuo Hotel, looking as mad as if he had lost $1000. "They won't pay me," said Paul, as the writer approached. Then the veteran puiled out an envelope scrawled with figures. "They owe me $256.08, and I'm going to get it. 1 have written Nick Young. They won't give me my ten days," Paul was very indignant, and pro­ mises some fun for Mr. O'Neill. The latter claims Hines owes the club.

Dallas has signed with McKeesport and is playing third in place of Julius. The latter was released in order to cut down expenses.

To-day the Bostons (N. L.) opened a series at Recreation Park. The team is at the Seventh Avenue Hotel and so there is no danger of any conflict between players, as the old Giants are at the Andersoii.

Billy Gumbert will stick to pitching here­ after. Last season he essayed to be an all- around man. He has speed and all the curves.

Sam LaRoque is a good story teller. He knows enough about Ducky Hemp to keep a crowd laughing all evening.

Jack the Ripper, a canine which George Miller once thought was invincible, was de­ feated for the second time the other night.

Billy Sunday should deliver one of his lectures in this city.

McKeesport's business men are beginning to appreciate the advertisement given the little town by the crack club and are taking out season tickets. Frank Torreysou cannot explain the falling off. The club has played good ball and was way up. The writer always held that the park was poorly located, but the manager thought otherwise.

Mrs. Ned Hanlou is a daily attendant at Players' Park.

Six-fingered Gray goes back to his Indian­ apolis home. Harry T. Smith missed his guess on this man.

Since my last letter the Players have aver­ aged 2000 people to a game. Saturday doubt­ ful weather prevented a 4000 crowd.

Had the Pittsburg League Club stayed at home and played good ball the writer thinks they would have had a good share of the crowds attending the Players, even though the Players have a stronger organization and grounds twelve minutes'nearer town. It is no wonder the club is not in it.

Guess some credit will have to be given Raudall for getting Decker. He is playing base ball and already leads the team in hit­ ting.

Robinson is not liked by Exposition Park crowds. He was taken out to-day by request.

To-day's attendance: Players, 2452; Na- ' " CIRCLE.

nia legislator and expects to get a bird book. Sydney Farrar and liuft' on Sunday took a trip out to Castle Shannon. Farrar thinks ho would like to live out that way. Griffin and Cnnningham have a slight resemblance. Lave Cross reminds one of his brother, Amos, hav­ ing a walk exactly alike. Wood's hitting in the first game made the boys say "Look out for this fellow" every time Woody batted. Shindle has certainly improved since he was here with Detroit.

ABOUT HANLOJJ'B MEN. Jerry Hurley is still a bench-warmer, but

keeps in trim. He may be called on at any time. Jock Fields frightened a few of Buf­ falo's pitchers. Tommy Corcoran played a mean game on Monday, but spread himself in great style yesterday. Robby lays for that lively ball and plays second about thirty feet back of the line. Joe Visucr was the most astonished man oil the field yesterday. He tried for a sacrifice aud made a hit down, the

TJPPEK PENINSULA LEAGUE.

The Schedule Revised and Number of Gamea Increased Results of tlie Cam­ paign.MABQUETTE, Jnne 19. More base ball.

That has been the cry from the start, and flite League has to yield to the demand. A con­ vention was accordingly held at Hancock and a. proposition submitted to double tiie schedule. The copper country delegates op­ posed so decided an increase and a compro­ mise was finally reached ou 120 gamcs,^an increase of 30 over tbe original schedule. The new schedule will take effect next week.

Ishpeming has just completed a tour of the copper country and returned with a solitary scalp, which Calumet contributed after a hard struggle. At Hancock and Houglitou the home clubs were victorious. Two thous­ and spectators witnessed each game. Augus­ tine pitched his first game with Hon.sliton, last Sunday and fulfilled all expectations. Tuesday a postponed game with Marqnette was played here. At the beginning of the last inning the score stood 5 to 3 in favor of Marquette, hut a little strategy on Houghton's part rattled Schultz and the visitors pounded him for eleven runs, eight of them without a put-out.

Wilder, of Lansiug, has been signed by Marquette, aud Kingsley, who skipped Isli- peming, has returned to that town, finding himself without a job by the dissolution of the State League. Mamstee's application ior admission to the tipper peninsula league has been rejected, and that city has made over­ tures to the International.
