ABOUT FIGHTS AND FIGHTERS , lilcn nf November Tlio IJykcrs Jlu(1 yet Apollon Tonrinitnctit In tlio KloM nnil on tlio Ittrcr , and Ijounl Miscellany. It may not bo In good taste , but the idea prevails thatthu following legend will bo found very palntablo reading : After the Western association magnates Iccpt the newspaper ' boy. * hanging round the Mlllitril hotel ofll'co until 13 o'clock on Saturday night n week ago , and then travo them u inciiKro report of their business and trot rlil of thorn , they ordered up a couplu of cases ofvlnp , ot cetera , nnd In- uulgcd In a regular old. first-class orlo until rosy lingered aurora idliled tlio tccplcs In tbo morning. A nlco procedure , that for men who * expect so much nt the hands of the press. Thai meeting too , what's the matter with telling the truth about that ! After the di rectors had finished their hair-pulling match nnil completed about 05 cents worth of business , the association itself went Into a fight to u finish , from which the reporter thanks to Dave Howe's loud mouth , were religiously ex cluded. Hut the boys were rop- rcccnted there , nevertheless , under the rose , however , 'i'ho first round was a hot nnd llcrco one , full of hard hits nnd close In- lighting , and camoall but ending in a Inock down. It was over the L.lncolii-Omnhn cm- broglio , mid in U cx-1'iesldont McCormick told Mr , Howe , in language moro forcible than elegant , Just whnt ho thought of him , mid of course tlio truth was gall and worm wood to David. The second was Milwau kee's. And the way Cushniaii pitched into Sioux City nnd Minneapolis , nnd the way these two villages got b.ick nt hltji , turned n bell boy's hair whlto as the driven snow. The poor child , nt a critical Juncture in the proceedings , had carried in a tray of seltzer nnd lemon , which hnd been recommended the western magnates by Mlko Kolloy. Then rnniu St. 1'aul's light , W.atklns against Roche , both claiming that they owned the Apostle club nnd were en- tltlo.1 ton volco In the proceedings. Wat- Iclns , however , was enabled to show the most receipts for hills pnI0 .and was finally I'ccognlzcd , Mr. Itocho bo.ng Informed that lie could seek surcease of sorrow in the civil courts nt homo. Alike cave a last dying yelp , and then .settled himself in a wlldwiord effort tomnke his books tally with McCormlck's.and this was finally effected , after a masterful effort , with the exception of three cents , which Mlehucl Ancclocoulilnotforthc life ol him account. Considciing that this swelled the association's losses lor the season to $3twr : .oi : , the representatives raised a howl that could have been heard out nt Florence. Secretary fleche swore , IIOWOVIT , that ho would sco that those thicu pennies were coveted Into the treasury ere the opening of tlio coming season nud qulc * wits restored. During the election of ofilcors the silence that prevailed was something appalling. You could have heard n keg of nails drop. Presi dent MtConnlck proclaimed , in stentorian tones , that ho had nil thrrtionor.with billingsgate - gate tilnmilngs , that ho desired , and he wouldn't have the presidency again if it was wrapped up in blue tissue paper and presented to him on a silver salver. Ho hnd tried hard to impartially fulllll the obligations of his oDlco , and llko Casabiuncn on the burning deck , was always thoro. But bo had been handicapped , backcappcd and all but .Hnmlbnpgecl by a lot of Irresponsible club olllcinis , who paid neither heed nor respect to his magisterial mandates , but kept up tholr innddinir , greodful , froo-for- nil , go as-you-plcase , chase for the "stuff" they uould beat tholr fellow clubs out of , dO' splto his most strenuous efforts to halt them. Not n club had up a cent's guarantee- good faith , thanks to arrogant Milwaukee , nnd each club conducted its affairs as it thought best , irrespective of tlio association as o whole. Dues were pnid when managers fell llko paying them , drunken ox-prizo lighters wore called In to umpire games , when n game was specially needed nt a special meotlngtho regular umpires that IsHomoof. thorn main taining tin uninterrupted carousal during the cntiru season , and the whole business outllt developing Into a ridiculous fnrco. That was Dick's experlenco in 1890. Could you blninc him foi desiring to retlro. Not much. When the ex president closed there wasn't a dry eye 01 throat In the room.

Happy thought It was llko pouring sweet oil on the troubloi linuorH. It was the solution to i most vexed problem , for if the quartette totto nbovo mentioned hnd been Inunchci into a b.ittlo for the emoluments of the clork'i office. It would Imvo been ono of the bloodies ami most Internndno atrugvlcs slnco the day : of Hannibal Missouri. To have averted i massuuro they would all have had tq bi elected. And so it came to pass that Mr. Krunthof was chosen to till both the presidential am Bccrctary's chairs for tlio season of 1801. Aiil n lucky puss it was. Ono more seasoi like the past nnd the Western association with lis brotherhood traitors , mismanage mcnt unit general demoralization would b buried deeper than the city ot Pompeii.

Hod Bittmati nnd Billy Kinsman , two ex- Western association players , Imvo found their level , on the Cinclimatlopollco force. Jimmy Manning of Kansas City was the boss base stouter last season , closely followed , however , by Danny Stearns , the Btiecnoy. Dnd Clarke might Insure his chances of success In the box next season by a few ap plications of Elmer Smith's famous salve. Tim Hurst has been let out as manager of the Minneapolis team. W. II.

Ho and Carpenter and Hoover are the only men so far slgnod for "Jl by the Cowboys. There Is to bo no salary limit In the West ern association , which is a sensible plan , as not ono club in the whole eight would live up to It if there was. Free trade in base ball has not worked suc cessfully durlmrtho season Just passed. It has knocked "tho surplus" Into a cocked hat , says the Sporting Times.

Old Hickory Carpenter is shooting for the market over near Burlington , la. Kro the lapse of another season this will probably bo Hick's permanent vacation. Eight men scored , double figures In homo runs in the Western association this season. They were Carroll , Fostcr.Curtts , Trcadway , Almnehan , Hyn , Cuuavan and Miller. Twenty-one homo runs Is the great record made by Jack Carroll the past season. No wonder ho wants to play in Omaha. Ho baa Jeff Bedford's $90 sign in his mind's ' oyo. Our csteomcd contemporary has suddenly let up in its sickening brotherhood gulf , However , Mr. Fowler wasn't In earnest , he only wanted to bo in opposition to TUB BUB , Omaha succeeded In being put on the schedule committee at the association's re cent meeting. This means that wo will have a couple of games here on the glorious Fourth. Tom Loft us should bo given a wide berth by National agreement ball clubs next sea- son. Ills treatment of the Icuguo In connec tion with the Cincinnati sell out was con- tomptlblo. But oh , how sorry ho Is now. Jack Carroll , who led the Western nssocla tlon In long hits the past season , would like very much to play in Omaha next bcason. Jack was a member of the old Union Paclllcs , and ho knows that Oinahu Is the greatest city on earth. "Hick" Carpenter closed the season with n strike-out , and somebody ont that way says ; J'A11 during the winter there will remain wltli us a picture of 'Uncle Hickory1 vainly striv ing nt a drop ball and wildly striking at a fat out curve. " Dave Kowo , the blatant brotherhood apostle tlo , Is receiving a very merited and verj general roasting at the hands of base ball writers.

St. Paul waived her claim on catcher Julc < Stcnzel at the recent association meeting , um so ho returns to Omaha. This gives tin locals two good backstops to start wltli Newman and Stonzel , which Is plenty if tlio ; both pan out well. The day when four o ilvo catchers were necessary is forever gone If the baseball compromise ROCS through says Hnrrr Weldon , sojno of the escaped it : mates of the Old Men's" home , who have hcei drawing salaries on suspicion that they coul play. ball , will have to hie themselves t tholr homos. There will bo no pensioners ii any of tbo organizations next season. At the recent mooting ul the Mlilurd hole tlio magnates failed to touch upon the dlvlsloi of gate receipts , and It is to bo presumed thn the guarantee system will again prevail nex season. The percentage system , however , I the only safe system , and uu effort should b madn to t > ccuro its adoption at the sprin meeting.

If the "brethren" go on In their mod course it will bo without the aid of Now York and Brook- lyn.

Bowles will ho found with the Cranes next season , notwithstanding all reports to the contrary. They have Ids .word for it. and that is a.i good 11 bond as they desire.
