Plea or Two Wire Tapper,.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Fred Il. Miller, the
horseman indicted for conducting bookmaking
at the Bennings race track early last month
was arraigned before Judge Colo in the Grim
inal Court this morning. lie pleaded not guilty
but subsequently the defendant entered de-
murrer TO the Indictment. Arguments were
then set for next saturday morning.
The demurrer says that the indictment is IA
tally defective for the reason that II does not
charge the defendant with any offence against
any law In force in the District, and for the fur
thcr reason that the supposed offence of book
making in the indictment mentioned and
charged Is not unlawful.
Palmer y. Pabcock and Frederick j. Owens
were called upon to plead to an Indictment in
the Criminal Court to-day. charged with con-
spiracy against the Western Union Telegraph
Company. by tapping the wires of the company
running to the Alexander Island race track last
September. The wires are alleged to have been
tapped OH the Long Bridge. to the injury of tho
company's business, with certain race tracks
throughout the country. Both men pleaded not
guilty, with leave to demur OH or before Satur-
day next.
In demurring to the Indictment. the defend
ants contended that as bookmakinG is made
offence in the District, the Western | nion Tele-
graph Company were engaged in an unlawful
business. Defendants will argue that in trans
mittng racing information through the District
the telegraph company were engaged in the
promotion OF an unlawful business, and that the
prosecution is. therefore. stopped from setting
out in the Indictment that the alleged action OF
the defendants In tapping tho wires was to the
prejudice of any legal right of the company.

DIsadvautaEes OF HnndIcappIng In Canoe
Racing.

The London Field of Dec 80 contains an edi-
torial on the handicappng plan proposed by the
Executive Committee of the American Canoe
Association. in which some OF the many disad-
vantaRes OF that scheme are pointed out and a
revival of tho cruising canoe for racing pur-
poses is advocated. 1t is plainly stated that
there would be no international canoe racing
under u handicap rule. as no foreign reprcsen-
tative would go to America to race under an un-
known and arbitrary handicap. The experience
Of the Royal Canoe Club. which is the rule
making body in England, is mentioned. 1t has
recently gone back to the cruising canoe after a
disastrous series Of experiments with sliding
seats and large area sails, which. lasting several
years. finally brought canoe racing in England
into exactly the same condition in which il now
is in America.
The Field concludes follows:
More surely, even in America than in Eng
land, is the intermediate useful cruising or gen
eral purpose class OF sailing canoe wanted.

President Young Does Not Think the
PItchInG Rules ShOuld be Changed.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 5.-President Young does
not advocate any material changes in the play
ing rules for the coming season. He is not u
member OF the committee authorized to con-
slider and report such changes as may be deemed
necessary for the improvement of the game.
but he has very pronounced views on the sub
ject and he does not hesitate TO express them.
There has been considerable comment on the
subject from various sources recently. aud some
of the advocates of giving additional power and
influence to the pitchers have put up some
very strong arguments in support Of their con-
tentinns.
II is observed, however. that tho appeals for
strengt thenng the pitching department, by re-
moving some OF the handicap which the twirlers
have TO carry, eminate principally from the
midable in that branch q! the game. President
Young says he does not believe the restrictions
now placed upon the pitchers are too severe.
About two per cent. or tho regular patrons OF
the game may prefer to see what used TO be
frequent n.league cOntests-n pitchers game.
The other ninety eight per cent demand u free
hitting aud n brilliant fielding contest
The pitching rules are nearer right now than
they have been for many wears past. IL was all
very well FOR few OF the star twirers OF the
League Ia moROpoize all the glory of baseball
team stONd around and tossed pebbles out of
their path or chatted with persons on the seats
in order Ia keep awake, while the pitcher and
catcher were doing the rest. Under the exist
ing rule almost every member OF n team has an
opportunity to distinguish himself either at the
bat or In the field. and the pitcher. with a few
exceptions, takes his chances with his comrades.

A CASE FOR THE NATIONAL BOARD.
Lal!y Suspended by President Powers for
SiGainG with Minneapolis.

Here is another baseball case to be settled by
the National Board. When President Franklin
of the Buffalo Club purchased the franchise OF
the Erie Club on Dec. g for 81 900. among the
players he secured was Outfeldcr Dan Lally.
According to the Interpretation by c. II. Byrne
OF the National Agreement. it WAS generally
understood at the time that no other Eastern
League club could negotiate for any of the Erie
players until released by Buffalo. hut that any
other leagues or associations under the protec-
ton of the National Agreement could sign the
Erie players ut any time.
Laily accordingly accepted the terms and
signed a contract with John =. Barnrs's Mime
apOls club of the Western League but he was
informed on Friday by President Powers Of the
Eastern l.caguc that he WIS under suspension
and that hu belonged to the Buffalo Club. Lally
has in his possession letter from Barnes to the
effect that y. T.. Young advised him Barnes to
so ahead and sign i.ally according to the pro-
visions of the National Agreement. Lally
claims that Manager Morton OF Buffalo has no
use for his services. but wants to compel him to
sign with some other Eastern League club.
