TIIE OMAHA DAILY BEE , WEDNESDAY , MAY 7 , 1890. THE PROSPECT IS GLOOMY View of President Bpaldlng on the Base ball Situation.

[ Special Telegram to Tin : BKE.-PresidentSpaldlng ] of tlio Chicago cage league club has-not yet spoken at nny length on the baseball .situation in the j > : ist for the season , us ho says that thu league's side of the case has been presented quite ably by other managers. Yet ho has decided opinions on thu subject , as evinced in an Interview today. Said he : "Before the Brotherhood put a club In all the league cities men took a personal pride In the team of their city if that team played winning games. Now when n man takes nn Ills paper in the morning ho seo.i that Chi- i-ago hns beaten Philadelphia , and this most naturally makes him feel good. Ho looks down the column , 'What's this ! Philadel phia has bcutcn Chicago ) Must bo n mis take. No ; that's right. Chicago has won nnd Chicago has lost.1 Hcsult ho doesn't Jtnow how or whcro Chicago stand" , or whether ho ought to bo glad mid rejoice or foci blue. and the consequence Is Unit lie becomes disgusted with the whole proceeding. "Now these are facts which cannot bo de nied , nnd which seem to mo to account for the poor attendance. The opposition , ac cording to its own count , should have mucn ( * rcato.r crowds than it is drawing now. That the attendance at the league parks hits fallen off there Is no denying , but if there Were not that clement in the light which kills tlio real Interest in the game the attendance on cither side could not bo complained of. I am making no prophecies , mind you , but lam plating the facts , as I haw ) tried to study sliom with.a cool head. So long ns the people plo who want to see their favorite team win tuko no interest in the battle for the simple reason that they have no faVorite any longer , Just so long will baseball dr.ig along. "Look over the list of the best bull players In the country and you will find that a won derful ratio of them sprung up within two years. Before the national league is two years older it will have a lot of players with reputations us great as those of the older fel lows. At the same time , no matter what the development may be In the future , it is clear to mo that under the present regime the real Interest in baseball will soon die out. I re gret to say it , but 1 urn convinced that this is the case. " "In case of a reconstruction , would the league ally itself with the brotherhood play ers t" "I cannot speak for the league , and I do not i kilo w what the league would do. But I know I wfrat I would do. Could I let Anson. Hutch ison or Burns-go I On principle , certainly not. Would I let Coonoy go , to fill his plaro with an ex-leaguer ! 1 fancy not. Cooney will bo as good as the rest of them in a few months. Ho is right now. Would I let \Vil- mot , in fact any of this team , gel I have a full team. I don't want any more. 1 have n loam that I am confident would break even tin n series of games with the other Chicago [ club , or that would defeat It. Of course 'there's no possibility of a test , but I am sin cere when I say so. " "Then you think the players have hurt baseball 1" "Yes , I do. I cannot but think that the prospect is gloomy ; but I have faith in the iKsllof that tills season will solve the problem. When the people of the great league cities can once moro have a favorite team and tuko Homo pride in its good work , then baseball will bo redeemed. But not until then , I fear.
