DRASTIC MICASIRES ADOPTED BY
RATIONAL LEAGUE MAGNATES
In Extreme Canes n Penalty of Ex-
pulsion for Life Provided by theCode Tribunal of Three to
tarry Out the Xew Hales of theLeugue.
ST. LOUIS, Mo., March I.—The baseball magnates of the National leaguewere tired out with their late session oflast night, and it was long after 10o'clock, the hour set for convening,when they came together. Very littlebusiness was transacted at the morn-ing Besslon. It pertained to telegraphiir.d railroad matters. The telegraphquestion was settled by allowing eachclub to do business with which evertelegraph company it chooses. Therailroad committee, not having closedarrangements with the companies forrates, was continued in office indefi-nitely.
At the afternoon session the doorswere thrown open to newspaper men,
who were given an opportunity to lis-ten to the report of the committee, ap-pointed last year, to devise means ford> bag away with rowdyism on the ballfit Id. John T. Brush, chairman of thecommittee, presented the report, whichembodied communications from baseball magnates, umpires, members ofthe press and others interested in thenational game. These communicationsshowed the necessity of adopting somemeasure to do away with the evil. Allof the club representatives presentBpofte in favor of suc-h action, but dif-fered as to the details.
On motion of President James A.Hart, of Chicago, the press representa-tive s present were asked to expresstheir opinion on this subject. Theywere unanimously In favor of some ac-tion looking toward the doing away ofrowdyism and vulgarity.
As the unanimous views of the com-mittee. Chairman Brush submitted ameasure for the suppression of ob-scene, indecent and vulgar languageupon a ball field by players engagedin playing a game of ball during thechampionship season. Avote was tak-en on the measure, and it was adopt-ed unanimously.
Mr. Robison, of Cleveland, explainedthat whatever opposition he hadShown to such legislation had been forthe purpose of bringing out an expres-sion of opinion. In the absence ofPresident Freedman, of New York, hisVote was cast by A.H. Soden, of Bos-ton.
Stringent Rolen.In pursuance of this measure of re-
form and to carry Into effect its intent,twenty-three regulations of somelength are appended, in substance asfollows:
The measure provides that the regula-tions shall be explained to and read by allplayers and employes in the league, who6__all then bo obliged t<s sign them tor thepurpose of showing this legislation had beenbrought to their attention.It is provided that it shall be competent

All charges of offense under this meas-ure shall be submitted to the president ofthe league under oath within forty-eighthours of Its alleged occurrence, the man-ager shall immediately furnish a copy ottiie same to the accused for his defensewith the written notice of suspension, ifany.
Five days, after the receipt thereof by theaccused, shall be allowed the one chargedwith the offetise, for transmitting to thepresident of the league, under oath, of thedefense, and the case when thus preparedBhall be submitted by the prsident to atribunal of three judges selected by thisleague to be called the "board of disci-pline," who shall have absolute authorityto acquit or convict upon the evidence sub-mitted according to the rules adopted forits government and from which there shallbe no appeal except to the board of direc-tors of the league.
When a case Is thus submitted to saidboard, the president of the tribunal shallcarefully consider it from the evidencesubmitted, taking into account the natureund gravity of the offense, Its Importanceas affecting the welfare of the nationalgame, the provocation for Its commissionand siK>f other circumstances as may besubmitted that are entitled to be consid-ered, and he shall report in writing hisopinion and finding In the premisies. and ifthe offense be proven he shall affix the pen-alty that In his judgment should be im-posed, and forward the same, together withhis opinion and conclusions and all the pa-pers, to his associate nearest the territory,who shall attach his opinion and conclu-sions and judgment, and forward the sameto the remaining member of the tribunal,who shall forward his opinion, conclusionand finding and all the papers in the caseto the president of the tribunal, and he Inturn shall return the papers and opinions,conclusions and findings to the president oftho league, who shall carry into effect thejudgment of said board or a majoritythereof by suspending the player from hisclub for the period determined by the trib-unal or a majority, or acquit him, as thecase may be.
In Cn.se of DiviHion.When the members of the tribunal or a
majority thereof do not agree upon ajudgment, the president of the league shallselect some one of the opinions as the oneto be followed, (provided lt be not the ex-treme penalty), and that shall be consid-ered the judgment and be enforced.

The extreme penalty imposed in thismeasure, viz., "life expulsion," shall re-quite the unanimonus approval of the threemembers of the tribunal, and provided also,before imposing such a penalty, the ac-cused shall be notified that he can defend inperson and by counsel, if he elects, in•which event the president of the tribunalshall call a meeting of said board at tomecity to be selected by him. most convenientto the members and the accused.
That justice may be done and no wrongcommute it shall be competent for eitherparties to a case submitted to the tribunalto .show, under oath, the character andstanding of those who make the chargesand give evidence, and before the "life ex-pulsion" can be imposed the accused may,Ifhe elects, have the opportunity of cross-examining the witnesses against him bydepositions.There shall be no appeal from a decisionby the tribunal, or a majority, for a re-hearing or a reopening of a case, except

COMISKEY FEELS WELL
THOSE TWENTY GAMES AT HOME, NEXT FALL 7.J "
,Ifthe Club Should Happen to Be
Behind That Will Help Them Ont—-No More Flirting: With Denter
—The Popular Manager Feci* HeCan Do Without Him.
"How can we lose?" willagain be the•slogan of the St. Paul base ball teamfor the season of 1898, and ManagerComlskey, who returned yesterday fromthe recent meeting of the Westernleague ln Kansas City, enthusiasticallydeclares that from the present pros-pects there Is absolutely no solution forthe above proposition.InManager Comlskey's own language,
"Ifwe can't win the pennant this yearwe never can," and the qualification ofthe assertion Is at once eliminated bythe confidently expressed prophecy ofthe manager that victory's streamerswill float proudly from the flag pole atLexington park at the end of the sea-son.
The prediction, Manager „Comiskeysays, ls based upon more reliable andsubstantial omens than the flight ofbirds.
A favorable factor toward satisfyingSaintly City's pennant ambitions ls thearrangement of the schedule of gamesadopted at Kansas City. The localteam closes the season with a series oftwenty games on the home grounds,and it is conservatively figured thata bowling alley complement of woodenIndians could pull themselves out ofa deep pit under those circumstances,not to mention the possibilities of agrand stand finish on the part ofComiskey's colts, should they reachhome for the final struggle severalnotches below the top.
Manager Comiskey hasn't taken anyone into his confidence as to how theend desired concerning the schedulewas accomplished, but he lookshappy and admits, with a smile, that h.>has at last gotten the kind of a sched-ule he has been fighting for in theleague meetings for several years.
The Western league season, as wasstated with the publication of thecomplete schedule in the Globe theday after Its adoption at Kansas City,opens April21. St. Paul plays its firstgames away from home, crossing bats

THE ST. PAUL GLOBE WEDNESDAY MARCII1&~189&,._
with the newly ad.niltted Omaha aggre-gation at Omaha for four games, thengoing to Kansas City where the secondseries take place with the Cowboys.
The third series opens the season onthe home gronds April 29, when the,Kansas City players will assist in theinaugurating ceremonies, playingApril29 and 80, 'May 1and 2.
St. Paul draws two of the holidaygames, that scheduled for, the after-n<sbn of July 4 and the Labor daygame, Sept. 8. This is considered a fairshare of the "schedule plums."
Regarding a telegraphic report lnyesterday's Globe to the effect thatRoger Denzer had refused to sign aSt. Paul contract tendered him for thecoming season, Manager Comlskey saidthat Denzer had returned the contractunsigned and that so far as he wasconcerned this settled the lengthytwirler's chances of wearing a St. Pauluniform.
Realizing that the local baseball pub-lic ls Interested in Denzer, ManagerComlskey says he made Denzer's re-lease to St. Paul one of the conditionsof the lsbel transfer. Then he sentDenzer a contract, but the Balary con-sideration did not suit the once Chlca-goan.
Having made Denzer what he claims wssan advantageous offer, which Roger saw fitto decline. Manage- Comlskey says he lsthrough with the country lad and willmakeno more overtures to him. There is only oneway out of the matter Manager Comiskeysays, and that ls for Roger to accept thecontract presented to him, as not anotherscratch of a pen will he receive from thelocal management.
Comlskey says he has five of the best pitch-ers In the league without Denzer, namelyPrlcken, Cross. Mullane, McGill and Phyle.With Cross and any two of the others namedManager Comlskey says he has enough pitch-ing strength to cope with any club in theleague. Cross' last year's record was tengames pitched and ten won, for the Apostles.
'•Everything went off smoothly at theleague meeting," said Mr. Comlskey, "andthe prospects are bright for the most success-ful year throughout the circuit ln Westernbase ball history. We have eight good balltowns in the league, each represented by astrong team, and, with the league In first-class financial condition, we look for an ex-cellent season.
"The admission of Omaha to take theplace of Grand Rapids was a wise step. Oma-ha is an enthusiastic ball town, and will un-doubtedly generously support a strong play-ing club.
"We raised Ban Johnson's salary aspresident, as was telegraphically stated, andit was done in appreciation of his invaluableservices. He is the Napoleon of Westernbase ball, and the league cannot afford tolose him.
"When the Omaha franchise was underconsideration there was some likelihood thatAnson might enter the Western league thisyear, but things went the other way."

Winter Betting on the Tyro Big
Eni-tern tiniiiliiiips.
Winter books have been opened on theBrooklyn and Suburban handicaps. In theBrooklyn Ornament is made favorite at 10to 1. Ben Brush and Tillo are equal secondchoices at 12 to 1 each. Ben Holladay andDr. Catlett are quoted at 15 to 1 apiece,and -0 to 1 is offered against the chances ofOn Deck, Howard Mann, Don de Oro, Pre-vious, Handball and Traverser, respectively.Typhoon 11., Buddha, Ben Eclcr. Macy andLou Bramble are all quoted at 25 to 1 each.Fleur de Lis appears to be somewhat outof line at 40 to 1, but the odds named aboveare "cinchy" enough to justify the latitudedisplayed in i«l_ atlng tli^ fleet fil'y's chance.
In the Suburban, Ornament again headsthe quotation list at 10 to 1. Ben Brushcomes next at 12 to 1. Ben Holladay, Tillo,Dr. Catlett and Havre are all classed in the15 to 1 division. Sir Walter and Handballare the only two quoted at 20 to 1. OnDeck, Howard Mann. Don de Oro, TyphoonIL. Fleischmann and Fleur de Lis formthe 25 to 1brigade, and it is write your ownticket against the horses on either ractwhich are not particularized above.
Jim O'Leary, whose mother owned the cowwhich kicked the lamp that caused the fireIn Chicago, is the nerviest and most success-ful resident bookmaker in the Windy City.O'Leary defied the law on the lines laid downIn this city by Sam Stevens, and as a con-sequence has had to plead guilty in the Chi-cago criminal court to three charges of book-making. O'Leary's defi. cost him $3.1.4.55,the amount of the combined costs of courtand fines, and. what is more to the po'.nt, hehas had to pay the money.
Tommy Burns is now at Memphis exercis-ing the Schorrs horses. Burns' record at theNew Orleans meeting is a noteworthy one.In sixty-seven days he was first eighty-fourtimes, second forty-five times and third twen-ty-eight times. "Burns' mounts" were play-ed by "dope" fiends and system-players alike.His phenomenal success burnt a big hole inthe bank roll of several of the bookmakersoperating at the Crescent City track.
The announcement that the Welsh midgetbicycle rider. Jimmy Michaels, is to entertho horse riding ranks is pooh-poohed at bythe knowingones. Race riding is not anacquired art; it is natural, and there is butone example of success where one enteredthe ranks late ln life. That lone ease wasthat of the late Frank Goodale. Jockeys whohave been successful in the past began theirapprenticeship early in life, that of abouttwelve years, and in osme cases were abouthorses from the day of their birth. FredTaral, Tod Sloane. Charley Thome, TommyBurns. Sam Doggett. Jesse Conley. Willieand "Skeets" Martin, of the present dayriders, not to speak of those of the past,were of the kind that were associated withthe thoroughbred since thy were in kilts.
The report that Ornament has been soldseems to have been another one of JohnConsadine's pipe dreams. It has been givenout several times lately that "John Consa-dine, for Mr. So and So," has purchasedsome first-class race horse. Each time therehas been no truth In the statement. Mr.Consadine ls evidently Imposing on hisfriends as a means of gaining notoriety andestabishing a reputation as a first-class buy-er. All correspondents and turf writers infuture should require Mr. Consadine to pro-duce his bill of sale.
The dash of a mile and a quarter on theflat looked like a gift for Lobengula, and2 to 5 was the best offered against him.He won easily from Lakeview Palace. HughPenny landed his third successive pursefor F. W. Doss by winning the six and ahalf furlong selling affair ln easy fashionfrom Brighton In track record time for thedistance. The local ring and out-of-townpool rooms narrowly escaped a scorching inthe last race. Benson & Arthur's King Pon,whose races here caused the books to lay50 to 1 against him. was backed down to 15.and lost only through bad riding, L Wbeating him a neck. Laura May, the favor-ite, finishd absolutely last. Fred Foster hasbought from Elmer Slaughter the crackthree-year-old filly Eva Rice, and a two-year-old colt by Julien. They arrived fromSt. Louis today. Secretary Charley Priceand Mr. Hiram Scoggan left for Pass Chris-tian today for a couple of weeks' fishing.Mr. Scoggan willhave a string of two-year-olds, nine In number, at Newport.

LONDON, March I.—Sir Ellis Ash-mead Bartlett having brought up theChinese question and the advance ufRussia in the house today, Mr. Cur-s-.on, after some debate, said that Brit-ish interests inChina were "paramount,but not exclusive."
