He Argues How the scuIIIng ChampiOnshIp
Should be Settled.
John Teemer, the sculler, makes definite
statement regarding the proposed methods of
deciding the question of who owns the sculling
championship of the world. He says:
Several of the professional oarsmen Of this
country and of Australia have issued challenges
since the death of Searle to row for the worlds
championship, some Of which specify me as pre-
ferred TO others. 1 have not come forward,
neither have issued any challenge, and do not
expect to do so, simply because there are but two
men Of the country will coincide with
me. One is to row q sweep stake race and the

the worlds championship title. Ii all oarsmen

Australian. Each professional oarsmSn could

winner would be the champion, and he would

in order to retain the title. The Boston offer re-

is as follows: After O'Conner and Hanlan issued
challenges MIR. Charles H. Thayer. of Boston,
came out, saying that he is willing TO put up
s., 900 purse for a championship sculling race to
be roWed on American waters next spring; that he
believes the championship is in allegiance. and the
only way to decide the matter is by open compet-
ton. Every oarsman who thinks he has right to
the title should have chance to row for it; there

Some First CIasa shooting by the Local
Champions.
There was a first-class live bird shooting
tournament at Brunot's Island yesterday. The
tournament was managed by Messrs. E e
Shaner, Dawson, Crow and Richardson, and
the successful way in which everything was
conducted showed that these gentlemen know
their business. The principal contest was that
of the I0-bird shoot: the entrance fee of which
was S. The unusual number of 35 were the
entries for the event. The shooting was ex-
celleut and the first prize was divided by
Messrs. Dawson, Hunter, Richardson and
Mack.
There were about 800 people present, and it is
some since there we're such fine lot of birds.
The gun was in fine form, however, and
''straights" were numerous. Following were
the results:

New YORK, December 1.-THE Players
National Baseball League continued its
session at the Fifth Avenue this morning.
The several committees accomplished their
work in a businesslike manner. The fore
noon session WAX utilized by the adoption
of the bylaws. Won der Abe was not pres
ent at the hotel to-day, but his attorney,
Mr.. o'Neill, was on hand 1t was soon learned
that the st. Louis deal had fallen through as
the Pittsburgers showed up with their money.
The players and their friends were well salts
fed with the work done and the good prospects
ahead.
At the afternoon session the report Of the
Committee on Playing Rules was taken up.
The most important change made was provi-
sion to have two umpires at each game. One
is to stand behind the bat and the other Will be
stationed in the field. They may change places
after each inning Another change made en-
larges the pitchers box. At present it is 5N
feet by 4 but the new rule makes it feet by 4
Tim Kesfe's ball was adopted. johnson, Shire
and Andrews were appointed the Committee
on Printing and Supplies, and Ward, johnson
and Addison the Finance Committee. The
State Trust Company of New York was selected
as the depository for the S40OOO guarantee
fund
The report Of the Law Committee was the
LlabteE TAKEN up AZ tue evening SCSoAOus
By its adoption Judge Henry Bacon was en-
gagged as the general counsel of the League
with power to employ the best legal talent in
the various cities at his own discretion. Judge
Bacon was instructed to carry on not only de-
fensive but an aggressive campaign, and Secre-
tary Brunnell was ordered to meet all the legal
expenses out of the general fund. Chairman
Van der Slice, of the committee, reported that
two of the ablest lawyers in Philadelphia had
already been engaged to care for the cases OF
Buff1nton and Hallman.
The constitution and articles of agreement
were adopted and signed for the clubs by their
representatives on the Board of Directors. A
vote of thanks were given to Messrs McAlpin,
Hanlon, Ward, Pfeffer, johnson and Bacon for
their work in organizing the new League. The
convention then adjourned until March, the
place of meeting to be selected by the presi-
dent
No communication was received from the st.
Louis club in relation to an application for
membership, and it is likely that there will be
none, as Pittsburg the doubtful CITY, has come
forward with its IS, 900 and signed the constitu-
tion and articles of agreement with the other
clubs.
1t was announced that during the day Arthur
Irwin, former Captain of the Washingtons, had
signed with the Boston club, and that Con
Daily, of the indianapolis club, had contracted
with the Brooklyns.

Are Doing.

What ChIefs Of Departments and OnlcIaIs
Are Doing.
ONE of the features Of the next appropria-
ton ordinance will probably be 500. 900 set
apart for the purpose of finishing the big water
main from the Hiland avenue reservoir. Last
year Superintendent Browne, of the Water
Bureau, asked for SIS, 900 to construct the big
main from Hiland avenue to Smithfield street,
through Oakland, Bellefield and Soho, where
the water supply was rather scant as compared
with certain other portions of the city. The
Finance Committee, however, only allowed
$751; 900 for the purpose. and that amount was
only sufficient to bring the main in as far as
the junction OF Center and Ellsworth avenues,
and down Center avenue to Liberty street.
About $l0O, 900 more will be required to bring
the big main into the old city, and the Finance
Committee viii, it is expected, allow the full
amount.
THE appropriations for the coming year will
not be SO startingly large as su pposed by some
irresponsible people. The Chief of the De-
partment of Public Works said yesterday that
apart from the necessary park improvement
fund there would be no increase necessary in
the appropriations for his department. Chief
Brown, Of the Department Of Public Safety
said the same appropriations would do him as
he had last year, and unless Councils passed
the ordinance to give 25 more men to the Police
Bureau, which is sadly needed, no increase
would be required. In case the ordinance
passed, of course Councils would provide for
the payment of the men.

Pat Farrell has withdrawn the $3.50 that he had
posted at the illustrated Net0s for match with
Arthur Upham, and will leave for California
about January ], where he will probably be able
to get on match with young Mitchell. Farrell's
hacker has telegraphed to President Fulda, of
the California Athletic Club, that he would fight
Mitchell for purse and an outside bet of $500 a
side. There will probably be no match made be-
tween Fogarty and Upham. as the latter has de-
layed so long that the Farrell people think that
he doesn't want to fight. Fogarty also has an
idea that he can go to California and get on
match with La Blanche, and if he does not sue
ceed in getting on a match with Upham he will
go to California with Farrell and meet any man
in the middle-weight class.

There are
many white soaps,
each
represented to be
"just as good as the Ivory"
