M 8t. Louib, Mnrch 1.1I- tliolr fiction this
Uj afternoon the National leaguo magnate!

1X1 a conviction.
JtMl Thamoasuro that has been adopted has nil
jSlSf along been known as tho "Ilriisii blacklist rule,"
twit When It was originally suggciito'l by tho On-
KJfji clnnatl magnato tho Impression provalled that
'.iM'ii blacklist for llfo n pln cr who usod Indecent
ffifflf langungo on tho ball field would bo so radical
njBj and un-American that tho public would not

Eij concluslvo ovldcnco bad bcon submitted to tha
ffS League, which clearly lllustrntcd tho methods
Sm, of some of tho toughs who havo disgraced
fpK tho gamo, there was a chango of feeling
WM, on tho part of those magnates who up to
KM this tlmo bollcvcd that tho mrasuro vias too
E1! severe. It Is not tho Intention of tho llrush
FiSjj' rulo to liato n player put out of tho gamo for

jjjjl ( IJrUBh explained, tho penalty provides for a sub-
SStt pension of days, or weeks, or months, or a soa-
jljt, ion, or a year, or for life, so that tho rulo Is not
JH' u drastic as at first expoctcd.

JlJjP Brush was backod up In his argument by Hart
JjBj, of Chicugo and Sodcn of Boston, w ho composed
-J- tho committee who drew up and approved tho

loiff ' tho now,DaPcr representatives to bo present
JM'X when the matter should come up for discussion
s tbeymado onoof tho cleverest moves that has
K ever been rocordod in League procedure.
1 When tho doors of the meeting rooms were
Bf opened, therofore, at 2 o'clock this afternoon,
HJi thor&were nearly two dozon newspaper men on
fi hand to hear the arguments. The clubs woro
5f represented by tho following dolegates, A. H.
ijil-' 8odcn of Boston being in the cbalr:

Prealiient Young had charge of tho minutes,
as usual. After tho Committee on Resolutions
reported upon tho death of Charles II. lljrno,
John T. llrush arose, and, amid silonco that
bowed bowanxtous every body was to hear what
the noted magnate had to say, began a remark
nblo argument In favor of clean ball as follows:
" What I have to offer Is the result of the work
of a comniltteo appolntod at tho Philadelphia
mooting, to deflno and provldon method of en
forcing disclplino in a certain direction on tho
call tlold. This commlttco was appointed to
i suppress abhorrent evils; to kill the practice of
using langunge which Is hardly ropeatuble,
yet in order to convlnco tho members
of tho press nnd tho National Leaguo
as to its nature thcro will bo voluminous
evidence shown as wo go on. Wo havo put the
meisuro which I am ubout to present to jou in
uch hapothat tho committee can support it
without fear of objection. Tho action is duo to
t tho public clamor and to tho comments of the
1 1 J press nil over tho country. Tho newspapers
Mf- have placed the facts beforo tho public nnd tho
f Leaguo is compollod to net. That Is why tho
members of tho prossaro present hero to-day eo
that tbey can bear for Ihonibolves tho various
expressions of opinions on this very imporlant
matter.
"Baseball has been recognlzod in some way or
another, either In a professional nr Inn primi
tive way, ever slnco 185S, nnd I havo looked
I0,rcJ!j? roc?"! dating from that tlmo to thoso
of 18U7. to llnd action on this very point whioh
la nbw bofore us. You can take this record that
I have here, and It Is like looking at a t Ig that
grows into a troo. Year nfter yoar tho club
I pwnorsniako rules to purify tho sport and et
the evils incroase. In 180(1 tho rules provided
that no player could speak to an umpiro unless
by his request. Thoy alo prnvldril tint
an umpiro should pnforco thu rules nnd
how no favor. Neither should ho per
mit hlmsolf to be Intlucncotl by any club
official, captain orjunnngur. 'lhorulcs also pro

should be fined, nnd players hn Ing bad rcpuin
$'on,Br?,l!.ou!1 D0K be allowed lo go upon the Hold.
In 1870 tho rules provided tRat no caiiinln or
Waver could uso langunge of a vllo iharaeler
or kick ngalnst decisions without being sus
pended for thirty dajs without pay. In 187!)
there was a rulo providing that clubs could re
fuse to puy players tholr salaries who minted
tho rules, and that umpires as masters of tho
eW had powers to Inflict linos rnngliigfrom !!0

that players guilty of lnzlnoss nr In.illng
while taking places In tho Held or of dis

hould be heavily lined. In 18h:i It w,. ruled
that drunken, dishonest, disreputable or diMir

It waa a hard thing to prove them guilty In the
yet of the magnates who war not near the
diamond.
Wesley Curry teut a latter that a game be
tween Boston and Cleveland several years ago
waa so fnll of naitlnesa that many women were
compollod to leave the stand. He recommended
that there should be a blacklist for spectators, if
uch could be done, as woll as for players, for he
claimed that many ruffianly patrons ot the
game were in tho habit of using even worse
language than that attributed to players. .
Daniel Campbell, ex-Loague umpire, said that
In his experience nil teams In the Leaguo ex
cepting Boston, Cincinnati, nnd Chicago had
used filthy and abusive language to him while
ho officiated on tho staff. Ho further stated
that it was his honest bollcf that ho would still
bo employed as an umpiro by tha National
Leaguo, and that bis work would be satisfac
tory to evorybody, had It not bcon for tho lan
guage that was tired to him In such a manner
that he was compelled to resign outot solf-ro-spccl.
Ilobort Kmslloln his statement said that
ho had been culled nbseeno names last season at
New York and Washington.
Tim Hurst Bald that In his soven yonrs expe
rience only n small percentage of players had
used dirty talk, but that theso men wero con
stant olTenders, nnd that their lnnguaga was
awful. Ho wrote cut some oxamples, which
made thn magnatcslookiishainedof themselves.
.Joseph Harming, 111 his statement, said tint he
had heard unspoakablolangungo used by mem
bers of the New York, Philadelphia. Ht. Lull Is,
Pittsburg, Cleveland, nnd Loulsvlllo clubs.
William F. Hoagland. who did not remain very
long on tho stall hecauso ho was grossly Insulted,
said that tho Presidents of tho clubs woro
afraid to entoreo tho rules, and thnt the) wero
to Mimic. He shonod that as soon as nn umpiro
tried to compel players to obey tho rulosho was
protested. Ho further said that while he olllcl
atcd on the Iic-aguo staff ho was contlnunlly
roasted by magnates, managors, and new snapcrs
In certain Western cities becnuso ho would not
consent to rob tho visiting teams.
Tim Keefo wrote that ha had been subjectod
to groat Insults, und had heard thn vilest Ian
guago al Now York. I'ittsburg. Louisville, nnd
Clovclnnd, J. .). Kelly gavo instances of vul-
farlty usod nt Baltimore, I'hlladclphla, and

from Thomas J. Lynch, ono of the Leaguo's best
umpires, wnn to thoclfect that in order to stop
allot tho troubles, that havo grown into a dis
graceful stato of nffalrs, the umpires sho lid
have tho unanimous support of tho Leaguo
clubs, and that if a blacklist rule wns passed
tho magnntos should not dodge nwnv by hag
gling over tho puiilshmont of nny stnr player.

Dennott, who wns on the staff lastynar. said
that frightful InncunBO was usod at New York,
I-oulsvllle, nnd Philadelphia, nnd that some of
tho vulgarity ho heard would hnvo caused
an outlaw to hang his head and blush. He em
phasized tho fact that a great deal of
tho rowdyism of tho past could havo been
stopped b) tho club owners nnd managers. Um
piro Mm ray, who was mobbed on several
occasions two years ago, said that he first urn-
Elrcd all tho college games nt Hnrvurd, where
o did not havo ouo of his decisions protested or
disputed. Ho further slid that when ho got
into tho League ho was called names which
broko nls hoart. Ho also showed w hero rowulcs
grabbed him bv tho throat; wbcroono plover
smashed his watch with n bat while ho was
liming a captain who had been ordcrod to play
ball, and also Illustrated tho behavior of an
othor rowdy, who deliberately stepped on hit
hand while be was dusting off tho plate.
11. S. Miickenfuss, President of the St. Louis
Club, prcsonled u string of sentences nnd
epithets which ho hnd heard on tho bt. Louts
crnundnnnd they created usonsntlon. Umpiro
o'Uay stated that he was continually abused,
threatened, and browbeaten, besides being sub
jected to tho most obscene insults. (Icorgo
Wcldman showed whero filthy langungo had
prevailed at Cleveland. Baltimore, and Cincin
nati. James II. O'ltourkc, in along communica
tion, flayed tho toughs who had Insulted him at
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Now York, Pittsburg,
and Ilnetnn
After rending over all of tbeso communica
tions and repenting word for word tho various
epithets nnd filthy sentences. Brush pausod a
moment nnd viewed the magnates with a slg
nitlcant expression on hit determined faco.
Then, after n moment or two. ha went on by
saying in tho most emphatic manner:
"Something must bo done: thcro is no room
for doubt iiliout that. Tho National League is
on the dcfonslvo and the public will not take
nny oxcuses. An endeavor has been made to
treat this matter in such a way audio draw
up a rulo to stop such behavior in such n man
ner that It would bo frco from criticism. I havo
a respect for n ball player who Is earnest, am
bitious nnd anxious to win u gamo by !o'Ul
mato means. I am not after that player,
but I am after tho player who so far loses hlm
solf as to say these things as tho umpires havo
shown. I novcr want to soo him on the
ball tlold again. Baseball is nothing if
there Is no public Interest. Owners of clubs
cannot employ players. If the nowspnpers
bellovo that tho gamo Is dead because of Its
retrogression they will not print nccounts of
It, nnd that will kill the interest in short order.
" We must therefore court public lntorest and
not destroy It, but whatever wo do It must boon
legal linos. Baseball Is not a legltimatu enter-
Erlse. Wo do things that would not bo legalized
y civil courts, but if It is a necessity wo must
legtslato to suit ourselves and at tbo same tlmo
bo fair nnd Just. Everybody knows that we
havo no logal right to say vv here a player must
po, but In baseball law wo do It. and tho player
is forced to obey. We try in every Instance to
bo fair and just, and in this matter we will bo as
fair and as Just ns we have over been In the
history of tho National league.
"In this measure, which I will read to you
shortly. It Is proposed to organize a tribunal to
bo known as tho Board of Disclplino, which
shall consider all such cases as como under this
head. It is proposed to compose this board of
Jorsons who hnvo no financial Interest in the
icague and who can be expected to deal with
quostlons impartially. In order, therefore, to
facilitate matters the commlttco in charge of
tho measuro. after careful thought, tins con
cluded thnt tha tribunal should be appointed
herewith. Inconsequence we bavo selected L.
C. Krauthoff of Knusas City. who. ovcrybody
knows, Is a clever basoball man, having atone
tlmo boon President or tho American Associa
tion, and Is now a well-known attorney; Ixiula
Kramer of Cincinnati, who was also President
of the American Association In 1801, and is a
well-known nttornoy. and Frod K. Stearns of
Detroit, who Is wolf known for his fairness and
Integrity, Theso gentlemen have bcon com
municated with, and thoy say thoy will serve,
provided the duties of tho tribunal do not com
pel them to neglect their private business."
Mr. Brush then read his measure, vvhlch is as
follows:
"A measuro entitled a measure for tho sup
pression of obscene, indecent and vulgar lan
guage upon tho ball field by plajcrs engaged in
playing a gnmo of ball during the champion
ship Benson, nhllu under contract to a ilub,
memlier of the National Leaguo nnd Amorlcan

"In pursiinnco of this measuro of reform nnd
to define and carry Into effect Its Intent und

After tho reading ot tho nbovo there was a
period of silence for about, two minutes. Then
Abell of Brooklyn nroso and said:
" Mr. Chairman, I move that wo adopt this
resolution vv lthout dolay. It Is absolutely neces
sary to preserve tho salvation of tho gamo. and
I seo no i hauges that can lo mndo."
Beforo Abell could bo seconded. Col. Bogers
of tho Philadelphia Club, who has hitherto op
posed a blacklist rule, jumped up vigorously
and surprised ovcrvbody present by uu unex
pected change of sentiment. He said:
"When I llrst heard of this proposition to put
oplnverout of thoganio for llfo hecauso ho used
dirty langungo I was opposed toll. I thought
that tbo penalty was loo severe, and therefore
could not bo enforcod with tho consent of Iho

Chairman Sod-m then said a vote was In order,
but tloblson of Cleveland jumped up nnd ux
rlnlmi.il wirmlv!
" Hold on, now: let s not bo too hasty. That

"I second that amendment," said Hart of

Then Brush was un his feet nnd ho was evi

"By this address to the plnyars," Brush con
tinued, "It Iservldent that no man can say that

Chairman Soden again ordered tho roll to be
called. Abell of Brookryn arose quickly and
suggostod that ovcry el Fib President sign his
nnmo. Thcro wera soverol objections to this,
although thoy wero of a mumbling nature, be
cause tho objectors wore afraid of publicity,
ltoblson, how oyer, shouted:
"Wo nro trying this case before a jury of
tvvolvo clubs, with all tho evidence onthoone
side. If we put this measuro through wo may
bodoprlvlngDlnyersof a living. If a man waa
arrested ou tho stroots of St. Louis for using
such language as has boeu cited hare in tho let
tors of tho umpires ho would be fined at tlio
most $100 and urobably not more than $5. jot
we proposo to put ball olayora ont of tho way of
getting a livelihood for Just ouch practices. I
won't voto for It as it Is now. I vv ant my amend
ment carried."
Just thon Ilnnlon of Baltimore, who had been
listening quietly in A cornor and had not spoken
before, asked too CL'alruinn for permission to
cay something. Kver.vbody waa attention wbon
tbo manager of the ex-ehamplous remarked in a
cool, calculating way:
"For fifteen rears I was a ball player, and in
that period I know of only two oases whero
thoro was any language used to umpires that
was not exactly proper. Ono Instance was at
Detroit, when tho Chlcagos wero playing thcro.
Anson was lined $110 byOatrney nnd put off
tho Held. IvvnB tno other otfondcr. and I was
fined $50 and put oil tho Held. I want to say at
thlstllno tbnt lain in favorof tho cloojicst kind of
basoball in tbo future, and that tho resolution
as drawn np by Mr. Brush hlus tho nail on the
head, and has won the support of thn Baltimore
Club. I will say further, that if It is passed and
ono man is piuiisbod I'll wagor anything that I
have in the world that tho Board of Discluliuo'a
duties will bo very light afterward. 1 am iu
favor of tbo resolution.
Hart of Chicago made a ringing speech, most
of which was directed at ltoblson.
"There's absolutely no excuse for foul Inn
guago on thu ball field, und therefore 1 bellovo
that a man vvhu does indulgo In it, so that
women or respectaJilo men can hoar it,
should bo ruled out for llfo for tho first
offence. A ball club conducts a pleasure
? round, which Is on tho par with any theatre,
f at tbo theatre a performer, who should
Btrlko a wrong note wnllo singing some
popular ditty, should rush toward tho
leader of the orchestra and call him some
of tho names vvhlch bull players havo called
tlmplres, tho audience would climb ovor tho
footlights and got him. Not only that, tho
newspapers would bo tilled with matter de
nouncing such behavior as a disgrace and call
ing for tho Immediate closing of tho tboatro.
Thero is no difference between a theatrical en
tertainment and a ball game, so far as tho
patronage is concerned. Therefore I maintain
that this resolution should bo adopted without
any further parloy."
President Ebbets of tho Brooklyn Club then
made bis maiden speech at a Leaguo meeting.
Ho said in a clear voloo:
"Jin. ClIAIHlIAV AND OKXTXKMEN OF TIID
Leaouk: As President und owner of tho Brook
lyn Clubl would like to say that lam in favor
of this measuro as it has been originally
drafted by tbo committee, because tho Brook
lyn Club docs not udvocato filthy lan
guago and rowdyism at anyBtago. If wo can
not make our money through clean ball playing
und gentlemanly tactics wo don't want to make
any, and I would sooner got out ot basoball
thnn appear to be In favor of passing over theso
evils without taking dellnlto action. I am iu
favor of the Brush rule without conditions."
l'ulllam of Louisvillo then made somo puz
zling remarks about the position of his club.
Ho said that he did not know whuthor ho could
vote for the rule or not. Incidentally ho men
tioned the name of tho only playor who was re
ferred to openly during tho entire session, anil
that wns "Scrnppy" Joyco.
"If this rulo becomes a law," ho further said,
" the Louisville and all theso other clubs will bo
held to It strictly, but wbon wo go to Now York
'Scrappy' Joyco will probably uso tho most hor
rlblo language Imaginable, as is his custom, and
when we protest against it we will bo thrown
out of tho grounds."
Thcro was a genoral laugh around tbo room.
Pulllamwascut short by another demand that
tho roll be called. It was evident that several
of tbo magnates wero afraid tu express tholr
opinions in tho presenooof newspnpor reportors,
and l'ulllam broke tho ice by asking why tho
League could notnt thnt point go Into ovcutlvo
session, ltoblson boomed to bo of tho same opin
ion, but the reporters united in saying that lucy
wished to bear tho discussion out. so that they
could put overyliody on record. Consequently
there was no further opposition.
When each club President was askod for his
voto everybody said "Yes," and when Presi
dent Young called for tho Now York Club's vote
Hoilen said, with considerable emphasis, tho
word "Yes." This, In tho estimation of nil tho
magnates present and nccortllug to Sodcn him
self! will bind that club to live up to the rulo In
every particular.
ltoblson then tried to square himself by saying
that he was only joking and merely wanted to
block legislation for tlio fun of It. Hovvas Im
mediately accused of having several members
on his team who. If they continued their be
havior of tho past tlvo years, will bo dragged up
beforo the Board of Discipline without ceremony.
This, in bis estimation, was not funny at ull, and
ho lost no tlmo In Buying so. Ho declared that
every team ill tho Leaguo hnd rnwdios on It, and
thnt thoy would havo to be called down just as
quickly as anybody ho had. After some llttlo
unofficial discussion the magnates adjourned
for dinner, ufter passing resolutions to thu mem
orv of C II. Hvrnn.
During tho morning session nothing of im
porluncu wns ouno bev ond listening to tho re
port on transportation and telegraph, the de
lulls or which do nut Interest tho public.
Tho Brooklyn Club, artorgotting tho consent
of ull League clubs, has released Pitcher Fisher
to tho Omaha Club of the Western League.
Kbhcts has also purchased tbo release of
Pitcher llorton of .Syracuse. He did this,
ho 8ii) b, hecauso Pitcher Dunne has asked
an exorbitant salary uud Pitcher Dovvd
has refused to nuswor tho telegrams or
letters Bont to him by the club. It is quite
probablo that Tucker will remain at Washing
ton ob llrst baseman. Jack Dojlo has written a
letter to Wagnor to tho effect that ho would not
Play at Washington undor any consideration.
Dojla further snya thul if Wagner does not
Undo him to tho Chicago Club or bouiu other big
team, ho will retire from tho gamo and go into
business nt Hiilynko. Wngner said to-night
that Doylo would either plu) ut Washington or
hoiouldgut out of mo giinie, but Inildentally
reimirkcu that Tucker would bu retained for
Washington, und thnt he would play ilmt base.
Ho also states Unit Tucker's release cannot bo
purchased for 300, but It unvbody vvunls him
if-'.ooo will bo bis figure.

for tha erection of a monumont to tho
memory or tho sailors of thu United

suggested by ltoblson of Cleveland and
is lliidlng favor with uvcrybody. It la said that
the various minor leagues will bouskod lojoln
hnnds iu tho movement and play similar games
onthosaiuo day. It Is not intended to havo
these iiieiclv cxhlblliuii games In ihoi old season,

Iho matter will ho placed beforo the Lcuguu to

i'.vcrvbody Idcutllled with tho Leaguo believes
but rowdyism has rcielvi-da knockout blow,
but tho reformers havo not liiilshod their labors.
They say that kicking, too. will bo dealt with
Jusl as severely as has been dono with ubuslve
langungo.
It Is probablo that the Leaguo will make somo
dicker wllh Von Dor Abe during the next day
or two, although ho still maintains that ho will
stay in tha game. Ho has retired from uctive
control of Iho St. Louis Club, so ho says, and

Brush resolution was adopted, have telegraphed
ull the other manageroof the Western League,
udvlilnif tbpm to adopt it at onto and to appoint .

a similar Board of Discipline, Thoy tar tho
Western Losguo will fall In line.
Late last night tbo report of tho Temple Clip
Committee waa accepted, which means that
there will bo no more games for that trophy.
Tho report of tho Commlttco on Amendments

Another new rulo una been framed whereby
Broteatotl games must be qulcitly deoidod by tho
oard ot' DIroctors, providing tho protest Is
filed wltbln 11 vo days after tbo gamo In question
has been flayed. Tho President of tho board
has pnvvor to ilecldo n protest offhand, nnd If

Imicc. March 1. The Cornell basebellteam has for
some years been handicapped because of poor prepa
rations relative to the llncst points of tho gsmefrom
tho fact that tho only coaching the team has been
able to get has been from graduate players. Man
ager Caunon and Capt. Young anuounced to-day that
au effort would lie mode- to secure the services of
Hugh Jennings of tho Baltimore League team. Jen
nings Is now at St. Lionaventure College, but has slg
ullled his wllllngneas to como to Cornell until tho
rirofesslonal aoason opens. Tho doubt of hts coach
ng the team arises from the fact that Dean Horatio
B. White, who la faculty advisory member to tho
baseball club. Is unalterably opiwsed to profes
sional coachln?. and hla onnoiltlan svlll hsrs
to be overcome before Jennings's services
can beaecured. This can only bo done by a vote of
the athletic council, and it Is extremely doubtful it
the council will voto directly against Dean White's
w Ishes In the matter. Ills f cellnir tu the matter la so
strong that he would unquestionably resign from tho
council if Bueh action was taken. It Is conceded by
all, the dean included, that a professional coaoh
w ould put the Cornell team on equal merit with the
nlues nf the big universities, but l'ror. White objects
to professional coaching on general principles, and
prefers that tho team get along as best It can with
graduate coaching, claiming that the day will come
when tho graduate roaiheswlll be able to accomplish
as good results with the team as a professional, and
that It win redound more to Cornell's credit to stand
for graduate coaches aa against professional coaches
