WASHINGTON BASEBALL CLUB.
The Reports OF Its Dis bandmcnt Set
ut Rest.


Rumors of tho disbandment of the Wash
ington Baseball Club were floating about
yesterday and created ripple of excite
ment among the patrons of the diamond
field.
Mr.. Monkey about two weeks ago left the
city for trip to the mountains and did not
return until last night, when he was in
formed that there was some dissatisfaction
among the players on account of not re-
ceiving their half months salary on the
18th. Mr.. Moxley made satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION to his men and they will con-
tinue to play through the season, though
some of them have received offers of higher
salaries to play with clubs in the Union
Association.
One of Mr.. Monkeys friends makes the
charge that the managers of the National
Club offered Murphy, their new player,
$50 bonus to join that club, and that sim
liar 1attering offers were made to other
members of the Washington.
Tho Washingtons left here at 1910 to-
day for Baltimore, where they will play the
Baltimore nine. This does not look much
like disbandment
Mr.. Moxloy was Frustrated last night
and was not able to see any one to-day. On
account of ill-health ne has resigned the
presidency of the club ana Mr.. Harry
Ford has succeeded him aud will remain in
that position during this and next season.

THE RoYs FAMILY TROUBLES.
IL the Public Never to Hear the
Inst of Them?

Inst OF Tncmy
II was thought at one time this morning
that there would be lively scono in the
Equity Court to-day, as all the Roys fam
lily was in attendance, but the prompt
action of Judge Hagner nipped IL before
opportunity was given for an explosion.
On the Goth of last March Mrs. Emily
Roys was granted divorce from Chase
Roys, given the custody Of her two daugh-
tiers and alimony, the latter OF which she
has been unable to obtain.
Mr. Roys has mado several attempts to
regain control OF the children and, lastly,
went before Judge Hagner and applied for
them.
Mrs. Roys came into court all excitement
and asked to be heard, but the Judge said
that no did not care to hear her, and she left
the court evidently believing the Judge
was no necessity to hear her.
Mr.. Roys failed to show any additional
reason since the granting of the divorce
why the custody Of the children should be
transferred to him, and Judge Hagner
promptly dismissed the application.
But it seems that there was another and
more serious charge against Mr.. Roys aud
that was the petition Of the wife for rule
on him to show cause why he should not
DO punished for contempt in failing to oboy
the order of the court.
This, however, being matter growing
out Of probate business, Judge Hagner post
poned action until he held that court.
Subsequently, in the Orphans Court, the
petition of Mrs. Roys was read, stating that
Roys had been ordered to pay $40 per
month for the support Of the children, and
asking that rule be issued for him to show
cause why he should not be punished for
contempt in failing to obey the order of tho
court.
Judge Hagner made an order directing
Roys to turn the money into court settle
his accounts, to be followed by his dis
charge as guardian.

the cruise will be short one, and will
