BILLY BARNIE RELEASED.
He and Wagner Have Quite a Warm
Argument at Washington

WARRINGTON, April Especial. 1.-The
Washington Baseball Club yesterday after
noon released William Barnie, the popular
manager. Such a step has been contem-
plated for some time, and the baseball pub
lie are not surprised. Matters eliminated
yesterday when Manager Barnie visited the
ball park Mr. j. Earle Wagner was waiting
in the office for Barnie and when the latter
arrived called him IN. Barnie was blamed,
il is understood, for the defeat of the home
club Saturday, by the New Yorks. He dis
claimed any responsibility, however, and
said the blame rested on the owners of the
team who had kept him in ignorance re-
garding the signing and release of players
The interview was quite warm and at one
time it was thought they would come to
blows. 1t ended. however, in Mr. Wagner
requesting Barnie's resignation. This the
latter refused, declaring that if the owners
did not desire his services they should dis
charge him. Several hours later BaInie was
handed an official document, which stated
briefly that his services were no longer re-
quired. MIR. Wagner left at once for Phia-
dclphia where he will close a contract with
Arthur Irwin to manage the Washingtons.

rsPFcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE prsPArcH.1
CINCINNATI, April 1S.-Captain Anson
sprung a new rule on the baseball populace
this morning, which was either overlooked
at the time of its passage, or was rushed
through after the regular League confer
ence. The old man kept his weather eye
fixed on the rain-laden clouds, and when
Manager Bancroft dropped in the Chicagoan
remarked:
"Well, it looks as if we would have to
crowd couple of games in tomorrow"

manager.
tain, and then he pulled out brand new
rule book and pointed to paragraph As,
which read:
Each club shall play u or more cham
pionship games with every club, but tie
or draw game or a game prevented by rain
shall be played off on the same grounds on
succeeding day within the dates OF the same
schedule series between such clubs"
''See that word 'shall?'" asked the old
man. 1.-The rule has been interpreted by
President Young just 1 put it to you. We
were to have played two games at ST. Louis
Friday, but rain vetoed our programme.
This discovery of the rule came like a
revelation to the baseball cranks who had
passed criticism upon the lawmakers for the
failure to provide against any more 'Garri-
son finishes such rs Boston made last fall.
The Chicagos play twice tomorrow and
under this rule all the League cities are
likely to enjoy more or less double bills"

PooIseller Sent to Prison.
GLOUCESTER April 1.-two telegraph
operators named Dougherty and Thomas,
and Poolseller johnson were to-day com-
mitted to prison in default of 81 900 bail
each, charged with tapping the Western
Union Telegraph Company's wires at this
point. The men had set up a telegraph
office in barn near the race track here. and
had completed arrangements to take from
the wires messages announcing the results
of races.
Their trial will take place during the May
term of court. This is the second case of
wire tapping discovered here recently.
Some time ago the telegraph officials became
aware that extra instruments were on the
race wire. but they Jailed to locate the
place where they we're inserted. Finally it
was discovered that q groove had been cut
in pole and a fine cable placed therein.
The groove was puttied over, and was not
discernable at casual glance. This cable
ran underground from the base of the pole
to an upper room of house near the track.
The parties guilty of this act fled and were
not arrested. In both of these cases the
operations were confined to making all ar
rangements for swindling the booksellers.
The tapping of the wires was discovered be-
fore they had been victimized. Dougherty,
one of the men arrested to-day. is we'll
known New York telegraph operator.
