THE
c
WIT LEGAL ADVICE,
local League Magnates Cau
tions About the law.
HECKER IS MANAGER NOW.
Col. Rogers Proceeds Against Fogarty,
Sanders, Farrar and Love.
THE SPORTING KEWS OF THE DAY.
The Directors of the local National
League Clnb held a meeting and appointed
Guy Hecker Manager and decided to ask
legal advice about the proposed lawsuits.
Colonel Rogers, of the Philadelphia club,
has entered suits against Fogarty, Sanders
Farrar and Love.
The long deferred meeting of the directors
of the Local National League club was held
yesterday at President Nimick's office. Af
ter all the waiting Messrs. O'Neill and Con
verse were absent, but they were represented
by proxy. Some very important business
was discussed and ir the programme a
mapped out is fulfilled there is any amount
of fan ahead lor baseball cranks. Guy
Hecker was appointed manager of the club,
and the Southern trip project together with
the proposed legal proceedings were deferred
until further information ou the matter is re
ceived. The first business done was the appointing of
Mr. Hecker as manager or the club. President
NImick stated Mr. Hecker's terms and added
that it required more than two hours talk on
Tuesday to secure these terms from Mr. Hecker.
The terms were acceptable to all the directors
and Sir Our was unanimously elected. He will
commence working in the interests of the clnb
at-once.
THAT SOUTHEBIT TBIP.
The proposed Southern trip was next dis
cussed, ana there was some diversity of opinion
on this point Secretary Scandrett very strong-
ly maintained that many years' experience naa
taught him that there was more loss than earn
In such trips. He argued that as a rule the
players are not improved in condition, and that
many of them contract colds because of cli
matic chances: and as a rule, therefore, the
money is almost entirely wasted, Mr. Nimiclc
favored the trip, maintaining that it would as
sist In discovering who were the likely players
among the young men on the team. Finally it
was decided that Secretary Scandrett write'to
the proprietors of the Southern grounds and
prepare an estimate as to the cost of the tnp,
and then report to a meeting of directors, when
the matter will be settled.
The next question was tho most important,
viz., that pertaining to the proposed suits
against stockholders and players of the new
clnb. This was discussed at length, and
although Mr. Converse was absent, it was
known that he desires a fight to the finish In all
respects.
WILL COKSULT LAW YKES.
Mr. O'Neill holds a similar opinion, and after
a lengthy discussion it was resolved that Secre
tary Scandrett secure the best legal advice on
the matter at once and report to the directors.
If the advice is to the effect that the old club
directors have anything like a good case against
the parties to be sued, proceedings will be com
menced without delay.
After the meeting Secretary Scandrett said:
"It has come to a hitter fight, and we have re
solved to fight in every legitimate way when
we think we have a chance of scoring a poin.
I don't, of course, believe in legal fight,
but when players and their backers
have violated their contracts and honor
with the object of mining our business, why it
is time to employ any honorable means of stop
ping lc 1 will consult with counsel at once. and.
if we are given to understand that we have any
thing like a reasonable case, we will sue all the
stockholders and some of the players of the new
club for damages. Almost every lawyer tells us
that we can get damages, bnt we also want to
secure Injunctions against the players.
ABOUT THE FLAYEBS' CONDUCT.
"Most certainly suits would never have been
thought of had the plavers acted honorably with
us. They all know that each of them signed with
us last year, and gave us an option on their
services for this year. They all know this plain
ly, and that fact prompted ns to pay out 18,000
for releases. Now we would never have done
that had the common understanding not been
that these players would have been true to their
contracts and remained with us this year.
Now if they had played with us
this year they could have left
both us and the National League, and we could
have bad no case against them at all. They
could have signed with us for the one year only
and have no reserve clause at all in the con
tract. This would have been the honorable
and the business way of acting. However, I
am confident that we can secure damages from
somebody. Here is a fact. Last year 350.000
would not have been an unfair price to ask
lor the club's franchise and players. Now we
couldn't get anything like that.
yiOLATIKO AGBEEMENTS.
"This has been caused by players violating
agreements with us; agreements that are re
corded in black and white. Somebody will
have to pay the damages."
Mr. Scandrett went on to say that if the clnb
went South all the 20 players would go, but
that when the soason Is fairly commenced only
about 14 or 15 men will be retained. It is denied
that Hecker will be at first base Instead of
Beckley. The latter will be retained, it is
stated, at the position at which he has made
himself famous. It is further understood that
the local suits will be commenced irrespective
of the result of the Vard case. Some people,
however, claim that no suits will be commenced
here until a decision is given in the Hallman
and Buffinton cases at Philadelphia.

rSFZCTAL TEXEOKAM TO THI DISPATCH. 1
Phtladklphia. February a John L
Rogers, solicitor for the Philadelphia Baseball
Club. Limited, to-day filed three bills in equity
in the Common Fleas Court No. 4, one against
James G. Fogarty and Henry M. Love; one
against A. B. Sanders and Henry M. Love, and
one against S. D. Farrar and Henry M. Love.
The court is asked to restrain in each case
each first-named defendant "from playing base
ball with or giving his services as a ball Dlayer
f orthe season of 1890 to any other club or or
ganization, person or persons whatever, other
than the plaintiff."
Also to enjoin Mr. Love from employing
either Fogarty, Sanders or Farrar. or otherwise
Interfering with the giving of their services for
said season of 1S90 to the plaintiff. The first
bill sets forth that Fogarty executed a contract
with the Philadelphia Baseball Club on April
22, 18S9, for the season of 1SS9 at a salary of
12,500. this contract giving the power to tSe
club to "reserve" the player for the following
season. Such reservation was made by the
Philadelphia club, by written notices served on
Fogarty on the 21't of October, 1889. The
charge is that Fogarty had recently contracted
to jnve his services as a -ball player for the sea
son beginning April 1, 189U, to the defendant,
H.M. Love, with privilege to Love to assign
said contract to the Platers' National League
Baseball Club of Philadelphia, and that
Fogartv had said he wouldn't play for the
plaintiff during the season of 1890.
The charges in Sanders' case are similar, ex
cept that the contract was signed on the 23d of
October, 1888, and Sanders' salary was to be
$2,000. with a bonus of 675. Farrars contract
wus signed March 24, 18S9, and his salary was to
be &.000. The facts of reservation and a new'
contract are set exactly as in the two other
cases.

rsrxciiL txlxgbax to the DisrATcn.i
Cleveland, February 6, Al Johnson was
in error in telegraphing to Fred Carroll yester
day afternoon that Bmalley had not signed
with the Cleveland League clnb. Uven while
he was sending the dispatch tha contract was
v on its way to this city.
An injustice has been done the Cleveland
Leagne officials by stating that they had no
ground for claiming bmalley, as that player
had accepted their terms some three weeks
ago. The contract had been delayed on its way
to him by the snow blockade. It was Bigned by
,hlm Monday morning jwd ought to reach
Cleveland to-day.
SOME INSIDE FACTS.
President Day Wanted Brash to Give Dim
the Hoosiers.
tSrCCTU. TZXBOBAM TO THX DISPATCH.'.
Washtxqtoit. February 6. President Hew
itt, of the Washington club, to-day gave a piece
of inside history regarding the recent big
League meeting In New York. He said John
B. Day was anxious that Mr. Brush, of the In
dianapolis club, should dispose of his players
and franchise to the New York Leagne man
ager, the grounds btated for this being that
New York must have the best talent available
in order to compete with the Brotherhood or
ganization. President Brush refused, and de
clared that he had the strongest team in the
League and proposed to make money out of it
this season. Beside the 40 per cent guarantee
could not fail to extend to his benefit, and
after all the trouble that he had gone to with a
view ta securing players he did not propose to
stand aside without a remonstrance. In vain
Mr. Day appealed to the Hoosier representa
tive and showed that Indianapolis would not
compare with New York in drawing big crowds
no matter what the attraction might be.
President Brush pnt his foot down and em
phatically refused. He thought he would be
able to transfer tho championship from the
East to the West, and gave his reasons at
length for thinking so. Incidentally it came
out that President Young had been instructed
to sign Paul Hines for the Indianapolis club
again, and that the only difficulty was In re
gard to advarce money. Hines held out for
$350. althongh offered $250 advance money for
his signature to a League contract, and so the
matter stands. President Hewitt -further ad
vanced the Idea that he is in the market if the
League wants to purchase his franchise, and
announced that he had not taken the neces
sary steps to complete his lease of the proposed
new ball park in the city.

Scottdale, February 6. The wage
question is about settled and to-morrow will
see an agreement signed to govern for one
year with mining at 5107 per 100 bushels.
Every class of work baa been settled upon,
and the whole matter now narrows down to
what shall constitute a wagon of coal. The
operators contend that it shall be level full
on the tipple, while the workmen claim that
the wagon should be level full only at the
face of the room. Both sides are determined,
and if concessions are not made by either one
side or the other a strike will surely follow.
The conference has been in session four days
and every point was thoroughly discussed.
Once the miners' committee withdrew from
the conference and a serious conflict was
averted by Mr. 'Van Dusen. of the operators'
committee, persuading them to return. The
scale was to be given out to-night, but ob
jections were raised because it was not yef
signed and it will not be made public until to
morrow. The provisions are similar to those
embodied in tbe agreement of August 9 and
the wages will remain stationary for one year
from the 9th inst. regardless of the selling
price of coke. Mining is placed at
1 07 per 100 bushels; coke drawing. 61 cents;
drivers, $2 10, nine hours to constitute a dar;
inside laborers and roadmen, (2 10. All other
work advanced from 5 to 10 per cent with the
exception of the yard laborers, which remains
at SI 40 per day. Mining has advanced about
12.34 per cent and drawing 11 per cent
It is believed that tbe scale will give general
satisfaction, and if the wagon Question Is
settled there will be rejoicing throughout the
region to-morrow.

were agitating tbe matter mnch more
vehemently than the farmers, and that the cost
of real good roads was too much for the

Rheumatism,
BEING due to the presence of uric
add in the blood, is most effectually
cured by the use of Ayer"s Sarsapa
rilla. Be snre you get Ayer's and no
other, and take it till the poisonous
acid is thoroughly expelled from the
system. We challenge attention to this
testimony :
"About two years ago, after suffering
for nearly two years from rheumatic
gout, being able to walk only with great
discomfort, and having tried various
remedies, including mineral waters,
without relief, I saw by an advertise
ment in a Chicago paper that a man had
been relieved of this distressing com
plaint, after long suffering, by taking
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I then decided to
make a trial of thi3 medicine, and took
,it regularly for eight months, and am
pleased to state that it has effected a
complete cure. I have since had no re
turn of the disease." Mrs. R. Irving
Dodge, 110 West 125th St., New York.
"One year ago I was taken ill with
inflammatory rheumatism, being con
fined to my house six months. I came
out of the sickness very much debili
tated, with no appetite, and my system
disordered in every ny. I commenced
using Ayer's Sarsaparilla and began to
improve at once, gaining in, strength
and soon recovering my usual health.
I cannot say too much in praise of this
well-known medicine." Mrs. L. A.
Stark, Nashua, N. H.

Cured by the physicians of tbe Catarrh and
Dyspepsia Institute, 323 Penn avenue.
"Hundreds of people in Pittsburg have told
how wonderfully they have been cured by the
physicians of the Catarrh and Dyspepsia Insti
tute at 323 Penn ave., and I feel it my duty to
state my case. My catarrh, which bad troubled
me so long, had begun to affect my lungs, and
they pained me very much, especially when I
couched or raised up the offensive discharge
which seemed to so fill up my windpipe and
bronchial tubes, that I found it often difficult
to breathe. I couched more or less both day
and night. It would often hurt me to breathe,
my breath became short, and I felt a tight op
pressive feeling in my lungs. I often felt a
pain in my left side. My food would sour on
my stomach, giving me a full, uncomfortable
feeling after eating, with belching of gas. My
hands and feet were cold and clammy. 1 could
not walk any distance, or up a hill without
getting out of breath. I bad many other aches
and pains and also suffered from those diseases
peculiar to women. In fact, 1 grew weaker
and weaker until I felt as if I did not care
whether I lived or died, as I would be an In
valid the remainder of my life. I tried several
doctors, but I found no reliet Reading of so
many cures made by the physicians of the
Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute, and which
seemed similar to mine. I took three months'
treatment from these specialists. The result is
I now feel like a new woman. I have gained
25 pounds in flesh; my work does not seem a
burden to me as it used to, and I feel well and
strong. I shall be glad to tell anyone further
what these physicians have done for me. I live
on Lemington ave., near Lincoln ave.. East
