| The executive committee of the Amateur
Athletic Union of America held an important
meeting at the Astor House, New York, last
week. The case of Patrick Cahill, of the Scot
tish American Club, of New York. was decided
| in favor of Cahill, consequently he is again a
| ful-hedged amateur. This case came very near
causing rupture in the union. Cahill having
been charged with receiving money considera-
tions in sparring events. and the committee in
vestigating the subject could not induce impor-
tant witnesses to tell all they knew of Cahill's
acts, hence they could not get down to the true
facts in the case. Many of the clubs were in
dignanr at the delay. and desired some action.
| The result does not give satisfaction. The COM
mittee decided to give first, second, and third
prizes in the tug-of-war contests at the fall
| games in this city in October. Mr.. A. G. Mils's
scheme of dividing the Athletic Union up into
sectional associations was presented for consid.

his good work on the lately defunct Washing

plays, and was hotly contested from start to
finish. 1t was anybody's game until the last
man was out. The game resulted in victory
for the Columbia Athletic Club by score

and the timely hitting of the Columbia Club,
aided by their sharp field work, were revela-

The Phonograph in Paris.

From Eli Perkins's Letter.
The most wonderful things in Europe were
invented in America. | refer to the telephone,
audiphone, phonograph, telegraph, and sewing
machine. The French are using both the audi
phone and phonograph for business and pleas
ure. On the Rue des Italiens there is an alcove
room or niche fronting on the street in which
are dozen public audiphones, each one con-
Meeting with different theatre, variety show
or cafe chantant. 1t was crowded with listen
ers holding the audiphone handles to their ears
"Whom do you want to hear ?" asked the at
tendant as l entered
"Give me Sara Bernhardtp p'
"lIere she is" he said, handing me the han
dies for my ears. "Puta half franc (ten cents)
in the slot and listen five minutes.n
When the time was up the attendant pointed
to another audiphone and said: ''You can hear
Coqueln there, the Vaudeville here, or the
Grand Opera in the corner. Put your money in
the slot and listen"
So listened to plays, songs, and opera In six
theatres in Paris for half an hour at an expense
of sixty cents. ! afterwards secured the barrels
of phonograph on which were recorded these
songs and plays, and will listen to them again
in New York.

The Washington Base Ball Club has been
snuffed out of existence, and the players are
scattering. Manager Ted Sullivan vainly en-
deavored to keep the club together and on
Saturday. Sunday, and Monday last was in
great spirits over what he believed was success.
A turn took place on Tuesday, and Mr. Justin
Mccarthy, who was expected to put the neces-
sary money up to continue the club throughout
the season, did not exactly like the state of
affairs and therefore withdrew. This settled
matters, for the players learning of the condition
of things refused point blank to play the game
scheduled that day with the Newarks, and to
man refused TO go TO the grounds. This action,
to say the least, was wrong on their part, as it
was manifest that they might make each small
stake for themselves as well as afford the New
arks chance to get their guarantee. Because
they were in trouble there was no excuse Tor
able to bring thirteen men to this city, feed and
house them for two days, without adding any
incidentals. The Atlantic Association holds
the franchise through Sullivan, and what dispo-
sition they will make of it cannot be stated,
though Manager Barnie of the Baltmores, is
very anxious to have them place team here
and keep it going. In view of the shaky condi-
tion of nearly every club in the Association this
is improbable. The demise of the club is con-
elusive proof that the people of this city do not
want to be members of minor association.
Their lack of patronage of the cheap-admisson
games is abundant proof of this. 70 drop out
of the National League, where the pick of the
baseball talent was to be found, to take place
in very much reduced minor association, did
not exactly catch the ideas of the enthusiasts

this year failed to give it to them, though early
in the season it looked as if they would do so
as it was believed they would win the pennant
