Questions Submitted.

0GeSt1OnS submitted.
This committee, therefore, submits to
each club the following questions, and re-
spectfully asks an aye and nay vote on
each:
LIST. Are you in favor of having a series
of games played after the end of the cur
rent season for the possession of the Tenn
pie trophy?
I'd. If you are in favor Of such q SERIES
what teams, in your opinoin. are entitled to
take part in such series?
Sd. If in favor of such a series, do you de-
sire this committee to stand ON the condi-
lions made last season, viz: that the net
division of receipts must be made on ba-
sis of to per cent to the winner of the So
ries, 30 Per cent TO the losing team, that no
more than seven games shall be played, the
team which wins four games to be declared
the winner of the series, and that three
games must be played by each competing
team on its own grounds (unle5S the series
is terminated before six games are played,
and the last or seventh game Of such Is
necessary to be played where the teams
may elect? Also, that no player will be al
lowed to play in any game of the series
unless he has been under formal contract
to the club playing him at least thirty days
prior TO September 30 of the current sea-
son.
This committee also desires to call your
attention to the fact that most unsavory
scandal attached itself to the series Of
games played last season for the Temple
trophy. II was announced TO the patrons
of base ball throughout the country that
the games should be played under the aus
pieces of the league. and everything should
be done to have them carried on precisely
and in the regular manner as our cham
pionship games. 1t has become a matter
of public notoriety that prior to the series
played last October an agreement and
pooling of interests was entered into by
certain members Of the two teams taking
part in the series, by which they were to
divide their share of the receipts, win or
lose. Such an arrangement was diSgraceful
to every player party to 1t, 1t was an in
suit to the honest players of the respective
teams who were not a party to it, and it was
fraud on the public who patroniZed the
games. Every element of craftsmanship
was eliminated from the games by such
combination, and this committee does not
hesitate to declare that, had the matter
been made known prior to the series, as
matter of justice to the league and the
public, announcement would have been
made that the games were not played I'M
der the auspices of the league, and were
mere exhibition games.
This committee trusts that no such scam
dal Will attach to the series to be played,
If any is played, and in the event of any
such methods obtaining this year, we shall
urge upon the league the wisdom and pro-
priety of returning the trophy to the gen.
erous donor, and dispensing with any fu-
ture contests for Its possession.

Riley Grammar Quits Away Ahead on
the Day.
Riley Grammar again waged successful
warfare against the layers at Sheepshead
Bay yesterday. His operations were, in
fact, the one feature that relieved the mo-
nctony of the day, for the attendance was
below the average and the racing devoid of
sensational incidents. Grammar began well
by betting on Kamsin at a long price, get
ting as much as to l for a lot of his
money. He followed this UP by making the
right connections in tho third and fourth
races betting on Connoisseur and Flying
Eutchman. the latter from to 1 down.
At this point Grannan's phenomenal luck
deserted him, but he had already won so
heavily that 1t was said he quit $4,000 or
$4,000 ahead of the game. He claimed to
have lost $4,000 on VIII Wallace's colt, The
Winner in the fifth race. Grammar seemed
to be nettled after the fifth event. He
wouldn't bet on Wallace's mare Orinda. but
backed Arapahoe heavily Wallace him
self bet on Orinda, and the fact that the
westerners were thus divided on the race
kept all the other shrewd spectators guess
ing.

OUR BASE BALL1sTs STRANDED.
Lack of Interest Taken in the Gam

Lack of Interest Taken in the Game
in England.
According to the statement of N. T. Cook,
secretary of the London Base Ball Associa-
ton, the English tour of the Boston ANA
teur Base Ball Club has come to disas-
trous end in England, ard several MEM
bers of the team are stranded in London.
Contrary to previous reports, there has
been no interest in the game of base ball
anywhere in England. At New Castle,
Lawson and Daggett of the Boston team
were obliged to leave their watches in
satisfaction of their hotel bills.
The London Association had arranged for
two games, one of which was played Tues
day at the Crystal Palace, and the second
was to be played at BALKAN on Saturday.
Tuesdays game was attended by only ], 200
people Several members Of the team have
already left London. All the future en-
gagements of the team have been aban-
doned. Clarke, formerly of the Harvard
club. and Burt of the Princetons have
return tickets to America, but Panther,
Maynard, Lever and Neale are left without
money to pay their passage home.
Since the publication of the foregoing
statement, Mr.. Cook has informed rep
resentative of the Associated Press that
the difficulties of the Boston Club have
been tided over, and that the game at Bal
ham on Saturday Will &c played according
to tho original plan.

No Reason to Be Ashamed.

But even If Georgia did win-and 1t UNI
doubtedly did-the District of Columbia
has no reason to be ashamed of it's team,
for the team total in the interstate match
was seven points higher than it was last
year; testimony that the ability of the
team is no less than it was twelve months
ago. 1t is easy enough to figure out after
the match is over how the trophy might
have been won, but as a matter of fact
there was no CONSPICUOUS weakness in
anybody's score 1t is true that bigger
totals were expected of some who did not
show up very strongly, but the reasons
for the shortcomings were good and suffi-
Gent and the team captain is perfectly
satisfied-or as nearly satisfied as he can
be in view of the fact that his team didn't
win--that the score could not possibly have
been improved under the circumstances.

put up by Corporal r. P. Carleton of COM
pany a, engineer corps, who slugged out

DIR. LEETE RESPONDS.

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir-In your local article in todays
Tribune-unintention no doubt, but
guided solely by what Mr. Baldwin read
from alleged Sunday News proofs on Sat
urday night-you did me an injustice
which l trust your sense of fairness will
lead you to correct. My article, as 1t ap-
peared in the Sunday News summarized
contention in the following challenges:
"First-We challenge the Baldwins to
permit any physicians from their audi
ences to make tests of Mrs. Baldwin's
condition in her alleged hypnotic state or
somnomancy.
"Second-We challenge the Baldwins to
permit such committee from their audi
ences to be on the stage while she Is ALI
swering questions, and to examine Mrs.
Baldwin's state from near position.
"Third-We challenge the Baldwins to
attempt their dream descriptions i'm
mediately after the questions are written
by the persons in the audience, and with
out any intermediate diversions of an
hours interval between the written ques-
tions and Mrs. Baldwins answers.
"Fourth-We further challenge the
Baldwins to conduct their question-and-
answer process without requiring any in
the audiences who write questions to
sign their names to them. If Mrs. Bald
WIN kilOWleuSe were lHe result Vi CldlT-
voyance then she could as well tell who
wrote the questions, If the latter were un-
signed, as the phraseology or sense Of
the questions asked"
Referring to Mr.. Baldwn's bluffiings
on Saturday night, and failure to meet
my tests, the real article in the News
said:
Last night Mr.. Baldwin said he would
accept all these challenges, but as a mat
ter of fact he accepted none. He did not
permit any medical committee to ex-
anime his wife. did not omit the variety
performance between the writing of the
questions and her answers to them, nor
the universal writing of the questioner's
names. In fact he admitted she could do
better with them"
These challenges are still unmet, and
shall have more to say concerning them
hereafter in the proper place.
