K and Abcll have been corresponding with differ-
E ant club owners lately with an idea of compel-
llntr, If possible, every club In tbo Leaguo to pro
wl, vent players from kicking against umDtrea' do
f clalona, and they are confident tbat the evil will
H b obliterated. Ebbets laid rcetcrdajr;
"Tho Brooklyn Club will stand up for the ei
jg tabllshment of clean ball. If over other club In
JL the Leaguo backs down. At the meeting Mr.
K Abell and I Intend to tell the delegates that
J the Brooklyn! will obey tho umpires and re
ft fraln absolutely from Illegal kicking, even
P though every ono of tho cloven other teams
plays rowdy ball. We do not say that wo will
ft stop kicking If tho others do, for that Is absurd.
B We wish the League to understand that we
have already decided to forco our players to
' actllko gentlemen, whether we win or lose,
iand nobody wants to Mill any moro than
we do. Tho manly statement of Manager
Ilanlon of the Bultimorcs, published in Tills
" Bun tho other day, Is bellovcd to bo the turn
ing point In the wholo irusade. Tho authen
tic Information that tho ez-chaninlons will play
clean ball will scrte to bring everybody Inline,
1 think. When Itanlon repeats his views at
the Leaguo meeting, I'll guurnntce tbcro'll bo a
j, general stampede to get in lino with tho re-
IS formers. It Is right to say that the Leaguo
9r must take action or be publlclr ridiculed and
ft condemned for not being unanimously In favor
i of squaro iport."
James A. Hart of tne Chicago Club, In a com-
$ munlcatlon to The Bt'N, aaj s that there will bo
,. a strong effort made to get tho llrutli blacklist
, rule Into effect. In spite of tho opposition that
W has appeared stneo It as first introduced. Ho
W says that Brush has documentary eWdcnco
2 'which will prove to the delegates that noted
P ' rowdies of the Leaguo ham used unheard-of
langURgo in their unfair denunciation of um-
fi plres. Brubh, It will be reuembcrcI, sent out
a request some time ntro for records of Indc-
cent behavior by players who have been In tho
habit of using Improper language, with the re-
suit that he has numerous snorn statements
from umpires, managers, newspaper men, and
b .patrons of the game who have crovidod evi-
dence in black and white sgatnst all those who
i offended last season. Urusb expects to reud tho
ft choicest bits of testlmonr'to the dolugatcs. so
that they may hu e n perfect knowlodge of tbo
I depnnltj of omo plnjers. When this has been
1 dono llrush will bring his powor to bear In an
I effort to get his rulo through, possibly In a
J modified form. It is reported that ho will ad
', vocate. as a penalty for this particular vicious
i evil suspension for at lenst one vcar without
j. pay, and possibly indefinite suspension, which
i might mean that a culprit would never play
g ball again. Hart also writes tlint tlie Leaguo
t, will bo compelled to nurree to some plan where-
ji by all clubs will be bound to enforco the rules
IP and punish their players for i lolatlng them, be-
jB foro running tho risk or having them severely
S disciplined by the League.
ft,- A. O. Spaldlnsr says he will be at the mcct
Jf lng to aid his friends In the gool work, prot id
It leg his present plans are not upset. He intends
K to mako one of his forcible addresses to tho
magnates on the kicking question, and OBho
will not listen to any arguments In favor of
, tolerating row dies under any circumstances, his
E lnllucnco will be of groat nsssltance to the men
ft who have the campollgn In hand. In addition
(' tohisviowson kicking which have bean pub-
5 llshed In Tub Sun, be says:
"If all the League clubs will sign an agree
8 ment to uphold the umpires and to forco their
6 players to obey the rules, well and good. Hut
r the press and the public must bold them to that
IS agreement. There must be no backsliding, as
j, there may be If the newspapers do not take the
club owners to task the moment thcro is the
7 slightest kicking by their players. A club 1'res-
. Ident who promises to establish clean bull and
f, doesn't live up to his word when the diamond
fc battles are hottest should bo painted In his
S3 true colore. Whllo I believe that nearly nil of
9 tht club owners are Bincero In their desire to
j stop rowdyism, they must bo put on rocord In
f6 suoi a manner that there can bo no doubt
,C about their Intentions. I Binrerely hope the
' League will also instruct the umpires to do their
g duty, and I also trust that the umpires will not
f hesitate to throw kickers off tho field. If an
-. umpire does his duty und Is protested, the
E President of the League, in Justice to the public,
E should announce the fact, so that patrons can
see what clubs want to win fairly and what
X clubs do not. The League is on tbo defensUe
fe Dow and cannot dodge."
3jf Regardless of whatever suggestions may
E have been made on rules covering the earned
P run and stolen base, the predominant opinion
IP among baseball men neems to be that an
Jt earned run should be scored when it Is the direct
J, result of the pitcher's work. The Idea of scor-
x lng eamod rnns originated ln'a desire to show
E last how effective pitchers were, but tho scor-
lng was based eolely upon clean hitting. For
fc Instance, If a batsman led oft with a single
K and was advanced to tho plate on a sacrifice
K and another bit, his run was earned. Hut It he
W received aid In bis circuit of the bases by an
K error, wild pitch, passed ball, balk or any such
g- mlsplay, the run was not earned. Upon con-
R slderlng the matter carefully, though. It has
, dawned upon many experts that an earned run
5 does not truly demonstrate tho value of a
5 pitcher's work. It has been shown thnt somo
ft pitchers who have boon noted for lack of
Mr cqntrol have led tho Leaguo in percentage of
m earned runs, which Is nn Injustice to othor
K pitchers who do not deal in bases on balls and
other Inaccuracies. Therefore it Is believed that
an earned run should be scored where a bats
& man reaches the home plate by clean hitting.
It bases on balls, hit by pitcher, wild pltrhos,
AP balks. andTlllegal delivery, thereby show lng con
v oluslvely the actual merits of the pitcher.
6 The scoring of stolen bases has grown to bo
VS; an evil that will be hard to regulate. Tho old
ystem of giving stolen bases where a runner
if deliberately stole a bag while tho bnll was being
IS1 handled by tho battery players was simple nnd
ffi hard to get away from. Hut with the adop-
t Hon of the hit and run system the method of re-
Qt cording stolen bases changoil. A return to the
m old rule would seem fair to all teams, provld-
il log the scorers lle up to It.

ATHLETIC.
Caller Hsu Will Disease Many Vital qaealleaa
T-Iay sal Tesfarraw.
The athletes and alumni of the leading univer
sities and colleges are looking forward with
unusual Interest to tho annual meeting of the
Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes
of America, which will be held to-morrow after
noon at the Fifth Avenuo Hotel. There are sov
eral questions of vital Importance to be handled.
Including a uropos'ed hnme-and-bome contest
with tho universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
It was ofllclnlly announced yesterday, for the
first time, that the association had been corre
sponding with the two big English 'vanities for
somo months with a view to such a double meet
ing, and the matter is now almost rlpo for final
action. When seen by a reporter ofTiiieSuN
yesterday, Oliver Shlrat of Cornell, the Presi
dent of the Intercollegiate Association, said:
"Last fall the Executive Committee empow
ered me to appoint a committee, with myself as
Chairman, to open negotiations with Oxford
and Cambridge, with a vlow to holding two
sets of International games one in England
next summer and tho second hero in 1800. The
committee appointed, beside myself, was 9. K.
Gerard, Yalo: Henry W. Howe, Harvard, and
Frank U. Ellis, University of Pennsylvania.
Early In December we sent the challenge, and
the resulting correspondence was of such an en
couraging character that we had eery rea
son to hope our enterprise would bear
fruit. So far I havo rocclved no official
Intimation from cither of the English
universities that our challenge will not bo ac
cented. The commltteo which Instructed mo to
go ahead with tho mattor meets to-morrow
night at the Fifth Avenuo Hotel, and I am pro
pared to lay before it all the correspondence on
tho subject. Until then I do not care to discuss
the question further, but I see no reason why
the Executive Committee should keep tho mat
ter secret any longer, and I will recommend
that the whole corresnondence be made public."
In addition to the International question the
Executive Commltteo will handle a volume of
business to-night with a view to putting It In
shape for presentation to tho general meeting
next day. At the last exocuttvo meeting the
question as to whether tho Intercollegiate bi
cycle records mado last year, with pacing assist
ance, should be accented was laid on tho ta
ble. It will be taken up ngaln to-night.
Tho order of business also includes a delicate
question affecting tho attitude of the Univer
sity of California toward tbo parent association.
It appears that nn athletic official of the univer
sity had been widely quoted In terms reflecting
severely on the administration of the I. A. A. A.
A. A. An official explanation was nsked for,
and tho reply will bo considered to-night. The
Executive Committee is as follows:
Oliver Shlras, Cornell. PrMenti E. Q HoVltty.
Princeton, Treaurr: It W. Ahbott, New Vork Unl
Terilty, Secretary: W. If. Fesrlnu. Columbia t s. K.
Gerard, Vale: Henry W. Howe, Harvard, and J. D.
Wlnior, University of Pennsylvania.
Regarding tho rumored friction between the
A. A. U. nnd tho colleges on the subject of regis
tering baseball and basketball plM ore. it is said
that CiustavusT. Klrby of Columbia will make
n statemont at to-morrow's meeting. The lru-
firesslon seems to bo that If tho tonus of tho ex
sting alllnnco with the A. A. U. aro not
mutually satisfactory, they can be mado so
without friction. hen questioned on this
subject yesterday President Shlras said that he
had written no such letter as was credited to
him by an afternoon paper. Secretary Sullivan
of tho A. A. U. said:
"Tho Intcrcolleginto Association can have
anything It wants In reason. So far It assumes
to govern only track. Hold and bicycling sport.
Whenever It Is prcparod to organize and con
trol baseball, basketball or any other sport on
our schedule wo will gladly stand aside. Our
only object, ns I havo frequently cxplnlnoi. Is to
conserve and develop amateur pastimes that nro
nllowod to drift along without a guiding hand
until the advocates of tbeso particular branches
nro prepared to organize properly. We have our
hands full and court intelligent asslstanco
rather than enmity."
UaMmoiitb and the Trl-Colledafr Itumnas.
Hanovkh. Fob. 21. The rumpus of the trl
collegiate athletic situation has assumed a now
form owing to the recent decision of tho leaguo
to abolish tho meet for ono year and becauso of
Dartmouth's attitude favoring a withdrawal
from track athletics, provided Williams and
Amhorst concur. Dartmouth's position seems
to bo misunderstood. Sho doos not proposo to
wlthdrnw from track athletics. What sbe has
voted, through her committee. Is that trt-col-leglate
track athletics aro not a profitable line of
sport. Sho has no Intention of ncting In'e
pendently In tho matter, however, and will
favor a continuance of track athletics rather
than sacrifice trl-colleginte baseball and foot
ball. Williams ndtocatcs, as a substitute for the
meet suspended for one year, a dual meet with
Amherst or a trl-collegiato meet with Amhorst
and Wesloyan.

The Hockey Club of New York journeyed over
to tbo wost side last night to meet tho St,
Nicholas Skating Club team In tho regulnr
scheduled game of the championship series, nnd
lost to tho homo players by a score of 2 goals to
1. Tno latter are again tied with tho Now York
A. C. for the lead. Although the disk remained
the greater part of the time in tho St. Nicholas
players' territory, the visitors had somewhat
the worse of the luck, missing several times by
scare ely moi e than an ej clash.
Thi game was started at ti:30 o'clock. Itussell
won the puck In tho race-off, carrying it as far
as renn, who lifted it to Hunt. The New
lorks cover point tried to dribble tbo rubbor
through tho opposing teom, but was beautifully
stopped by Ilarron and Cullender. 1 he rubber w as
passed to Sam Phillips, who in turn carried It
dow n almost to the St. Nicholas goal. Ho paesed
It across tho rink for a shot, but no one was
there to recelv o It, After a number of lifts and
returns Itussell trltd for a goal on a pass by
Benny Phillips, missing it by less than six
inches. Hurron, skating like the wind, was tho
tlrst to roach tho rubber. He lifted tttoLarnod.
and he in turn passed it aiross to Cullender,
who shot the goal less than thirty seconds be
fore the refereu'8 whlstlo nnnouncod the end of
tbo first hnlf.
Tho second half began with a furious scrim
mnge, in which the visitors had tho better of
the battle, principally through the hard body
hicklng ot Itussell and Do Casunoi a. llcnnj
Phillips finally won tho puck out of tho bunch
and mudo an accurate shot for tho goal, which
was stopped by hlocum. Cullender then tried to
dribble the rubber through the opposing team.
He was tackled by Itussoll, who lifted tho disk
Into tho gallerj, Aftei sooral moro long lifts
Ilarrou made a sensational run the eiitlro length
of the rink and drove tho putk toward tho Now

When the clock ttrnck the hour before mid
night last night every dog at the Westminster
Kennel Club bench show, except tho Schlp
perkos, which are not blessed with such ap
pendages, wagged their tails with Joy. Out
until that hour, from the early morning, there
bad been the largest attendance of the week
and by far tho most fashionable. A mild sensa
tion was created by the benching of the mastiff
Black Peter, who had arrived late on
Wednesday night from England. He it
the property of tho boston amateur. Dr.
C. A. Longest, who already hat fSO.000 invest
ed In bloodhounds nnd mastiffs. Unllko Black
Prince and Black Prlnco Brampton, tho best two
mastiffs ever seen in this country, the new dog
it a dark brlndle Instead of a fawn color. Black
Peter has won many firsts both In Germany and
England. Ho has nover met Peter Piper, the
dog who beat Black Prlnco when bo was tent to
England, but Oeorgo Itopcr says tho new Im
portation It the better of tbo two. Dr. Lougett
Is Inclined to bo skeptical on that point, but he
it very sorry that Black Petor was not here In
tfmA far thA (nftfrtnr
Among the breeds only represented by a dog
or two were the English fox hounds. There
wore only two entered, and those by a man who
uses them to chase rabbits over tho snow and
who has never beard of an aniseed bag. The
heavy twolls who stood before tho pens, en
thralled in admiration, talked nf runs with the
hounds, stiff fencos, ond rough ditches in a
grass country, but the two hounds never wagged
an ear.
Not to many years ago silky lapdogs or dainty
Italian greyhounds wore the only breeds In
fashion for women, and a girl would be spoken
of with raised eyebrows at the sewing circles or
tea parties who would walk abroad guarded by
a bull terrier or mastiff. This prejudlco Is now
as out of date among w omen os hoop Bklrts. In
the list of somo 700 exhibitors In the back of
the catalogue a count showed eighty to be wo
men, nnd no doubt somo who. showed In the
name of their kennel have been missed. Mrs. F.
Bonn led the sex with twenty-three entries of
pet dogs, nearly all winners of prizes, bnt she It
a professional vendor ond Is aided by her hus
band. Miss Anabel Orcon und Miss Qrnco
Huntington, who showed field spaniels and
French bulldogs, hod tho most entries, and,
aside from the professional fancies, they each
won more prizes than any women at the
show. Some of tbo blue ribbon winners
among the women wcro Miss A. Victoria
Dltmas. In tbe puppy class of Great Danes;
Miss Anabel Green, In field spaniels; Miss
Bowers, with Munlto In tho poodle class; Mrs.
Esther B. DeOIey. with Banker In Boston tor

fox terriers; Mrs. a A. McCowan, with Hkye

BICYCLES AS MERCHANDISE
By the natural evolution of manufacturing
and merchandising;, the retail price of bicy
cles has at last reached a figure as low as It
is possible to sell a wheel of highest quality,
material, and expert workmanship. In an
swer to the criticisms of our competitors and
the Inquiries of our delighted customers, wo
offer the following reasons for the very low
price at which wo sell THE SPALDINO
BICYCLE.
lint. Ve aro making many thousands o
theso wheels in the best equipped factory,
mechanically considered. In America, organ,
lzed to do the best work, and, above all,
economically administered.
Second. We are buylne the very best tilt.
terlal at about one-half the cost of two years 1
ago. which, with Improved machinery, better
and more economical management, enables
us to produce our 1898 wheel at a cost far
balow that of previous years.
Third. We have lopped off all " expensive
habits" of the bicycle business, such as cycle
shows, racing teams, art catalogues, souve
nirs, and other expenses seemingly necessary
In building up a new business and establish
ing a reputation variously estimated tn the
cost of construction at from $5.00 to $25.00
per wheel.
Fourth. In selling our 1898 wheels at $50
cash, we do not talce In exchange second
hand wheels, which heretofore have been
accepted as part payment by all makers at
prices in excess of their value as a merchant
able article.
Fifth. We treat a friend and the blcyclo
expert who wishes a wheel loaned or given
to him for his Influence with the same con
sideration shown all buyers, and charge him
no more or no less than $50, so that when
you see any one riding a Spalding wheel you
can make up your mind he pays the same
price as any other rider.
WE MAKE BUT ONE GRADE WHEEL
In our Chlcopee factory, and that is the best
that the highest mechanical skill and the uss
of the best material will permit.
Since the first SPALDING BICYCLE was
offered for salo In 1894 wo have gradually
Improved the quality each year, and our 1693
model Is the best bicycle we ever built, and.
we believe, Is superior to any chain wheel of
any other maker In America or Europe. We
Invite the closest inspection.
Why
pay more or less for
a bicycle, when you can
buy "The Spalding" for
$50
