THERE'S NOTHING WRONG.
Ed Richter Points Out That the Big League
Is All Right.


The Sporting Life has the following to say
this week regarding the new league:
A few baseball writer's, who have profited
in adding fuel to the flames of dissension,
are endeavorins to make readers believe
that there is trouble in the present League
This is untrue. There are differences of
opinion, but so there were in the rich and
prosperous days of 1889. Clubs in the
stronger cities have been led to give their
consent to more liberal legislation in the
matter of division OF finances, and, in spite
of the fact that such law is in effect, both
Mr.. John 3. Day, of New York, and Mr.. WILL
lam Conant, OF Boston, are opposed to it.
Had such a measure been on the books i've
years ago there never would have been
Brotherhood League. 1t was the constant
squeezing of the smaller clubs and their in
ability to compete with the larger in the
matter OF signing players that led to the dis
astrous war. At the same time the little
ones were pleaded with to hang on in order
to fill out the circuit.
As liberal as John B. Day has always been
with his players, he has been extremely
illiberal in his views on League legislation,
and has apparently been imbued with the
York were paramount to any other matters
of business connected with baseball. This
failing, however. is perfectly natural, as the
average resident of New York City lives in
an atmosphere of self-con sciousness, strong

should be swallowed up in the night by some
convulson of nature the re-
of the United States would filter
through the crack before morning.

THE IVORY CHAMPION.
Ives Beats Schaefer at Chicago and
Must Now Meet Sloss0n.
DETAILS OF LAST NIGHTS GAME
At the End of the First -Four the Players
D.. Were roint Apart.
THE WINNER NERVOUS At THE START

CHICAGO March 19.-That billiard match
tonight at the Central Music Hall was in
many respects one of the most interesting
ever played in this country. Jacob Schaefer,
the worlds champion billiardist, and Frank
C. Ives, were the contestants in the game,
which was for 800 points, H-inch
balz line. The contest was for the worlds
championship, carrying with it the hand
some Brunswick Balke-C Collender Company's
silver trophy, $1,000 side and the gate re-
ceipts. Henry Rhines was referee, and
Charles Mathews marker.
The game was made the more interesting
from the fact that the winner will, before he
can hold the title of worlds champion, have
to again win it from George F. Slosson, the
latter having already issued his challenge
and posted his forfeit for game to be
played within 60 days.
To-night's game began at SIG. Ives won
the bank for first shot. and scored nothing.
At the outset Ives was quite nervous, and
carefully, almost anxiously, watched each
one OF Schaefer's 45 points secured during
the first inning. Schaefer in contrast to
his opponent was collected and allowed
slight sarcastic smile to piss over his fea-
lures as some well played shot was vociter-
In the second inning Ives regained his
nerve, and from that time to the finish the
sno pss carefully IVES naysa nss pse saea
we'll studied. That the good wishes
of the audience of nearly 1000
people were with Ives was made evident in
the third inning when q chorus of sympa-
thetic"Ahs" and sighs greeted the announce
ment that Ives had fouled on his sixty-ninth
point. -. .
At the end Of the first hour eight innings
had been played and Ives. who had 15S
points to his credit, led Schaefer by one.

executor and guardian of her children, to

and personal effects she had
A sensational story was started on the
Southside last night to the effect that Mil
lev was never married to the woman he
killed. This, however, is denied, but a
PhIladelphia telegram to Roger O'Mara
says Milley had wife and family living in
Philadelphia, and that he had never pro-
cured divorce. An inquest was held in
Milley's case yesterday and the fact estab.

John Bell, of the University of Pennsyl-
vania, and Frank D. Beatty, composing the
Advisory Board of the intercollegiate Foot.
ball Association, met at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel tonight and agreed on some proposed
changes in the football rules. The first sug-
gestion was a change in the rule relating to
punt out which provides in effect, that If
the catcher muffs the ball from punt out he
shall be made to try again, and If he fails
second time, the ball goes to the opponent
at the middle OF the field.
A second proposed change provides that
when a try at goal is made and a miss re-
suits, the ball shall go to middle of the field
the same as though the goal had been
kicked. The third and last suggestion re-
lates to coaching, and provides that any
man found coaching either team shall be
warned for the first offense and for the
second sent outside the ropes. These sug-
gestions will be submitted to the association
at its meeting the first Saturday in May.

What do you think of the Browns?"
''The team selected is good one. 1t is
well balanced, has good pitching material,
and in the general departments of the game,
in hitting, fielding and base-running, it is
strong. l think we can soon get down to

will be in shape to prepare for our big

What do you think of the prospects for

They're great. 1t ought to be the great
est year for baseball on record. The two
leading organizations are now one. and ST.

the business this year. Then, again, making
two championship races will tend to stimu-

obtain fortune. Now anybody who knows
anything. about fighting must know that
Corbett is wishing to make a draw of it. If
Corbett can keep all right for six rounds 1

bett is not a fighter. He knows, or at least
he feels sure, that Sullivan is worse to-day
