ABOUT BASEBALL PLAYERS.

1t is said that at the meeting of the
| members of the National Baseball League,
| TO be held in New York on the 18Th of
| the coming month"; rule Will be adopted
under which no baseball reporter for a
| local paper can be made official scorer
for the local team. Heretofore baseball
| reporters in several cities have been Of
fjcal scorers. The league has concluded.
it is said, that this gives the paper EN-
plo ying the official scorer an advantage in
the way of learning league affairs that
it is not fair for il to have over local
contemporaries.
Manager Gus SchmelZ is sail to be doing
land office business with his show. He
is now in the West and drawing big paying
houses everywhere.
Great things are looked for from Rogers,
the New EnElander, recently signed by
the Washington baseball club. Rogers is
credited with being at home in any of the
infield positions, and Us a catcher is
rated away up. In fact it is thought by
those most interested in the washington
team that Rogers is the most valuable find
the club has made.
There is not the slightest chance for
Jack Doyle to come here next year, said
a gentleman well posted in the Washington
team W Al iHlcS ItptitNi yNStSh
day. Not that the Washington manage
ment don't want him. but simply because
it can't get him. Doyle is almost sure TO
go to Philadelphia or Boston. Those clubs
have material by which either of them can
make deal with New York, but Washing
ton hasn't. Doyle is unpopular, but he
is great ball play yer and a scrappy fellow.

The meeting of the National Baseball
League at New York is eXpected to bring
forth many bits OF ne ws that will be OF vast
interest to the baseball public. IL is pre-
dicted that when the magnates get together
there will be no end to the: deals and
swaps that will follow. In some OF these
bargains it is said Washington will be di
rectly interested, as the Wagners have on
foot several plans that il they work out
right will be of great assistance in making
the Senators a first division team next
year.
Some experiments were made last week
at Princeton, with view to test the speed
of a baseball pitched under normal circufn-
stances. A distance of sixty feet was meas
urcd off and by means of an electrical at
tachment in the pitchers hand and another
in the catcher's the exact time of the ball
in transit was read off a chronoscope. Alt
man and Bradley, Princeton's star twirlers,
pitched number of times, but on account of
the season their speed was not up to the
usual rate. The result was that six-tenths
of second was recorded as the rate Of Alt
mans bah, while it took Bradley fifty y-nine
hundredths of a second to throw the ball.
These Interesting experiments Will be con-
tinued in warm weather, when it is the In
tention to measure the speed Of the swiftest
pitchers in the country.

tatements, from ]. W. sprague, Mr.. Van
-Ntss, u. W. IoOke anu f. "A. Horton. The
discussion covered the ac ion by committees
of the Guild Alliance and Unity Clubs
looking to consolidation.
The following statement of the situation
was made:
We believe that the time has come
FOR some forward movement in the direc-
ton of organizing our Unitarian young
people. We believe that new life may be
infused into existing organizations and
many new young people societies formed
If the denomination as whole will
unite in such purpose.
I'VE believe that the work done hitherto
by our Unity Club, Guilds or other young
people societies, has been most ad-
mirable. 1t is because of this good work
that we think the hour has come for
closer union and united forward move.
We heartily believe that the center about
which our young people Wish tn rally is
the religious motive and we sec evidences
OF this not only in the success of such
bodies in the Christian Endeayor Society,
but in our own guilds, which have always
centralized their efforts upon the religious
life.
We believe, therefore. that whatever for
ward steps ma y be taken it should be toward
this end.
We therefore concur in the proposition
to be made as we understand by those in
charge of the meeting, viz: That national
organization OF founS Peopie's Societies
be formed. to be called 1.-THE Young Peo-
Pies Unitarian Union," an alliance Of head,
heart and hand.
The cardinal principles of the union were
set forth as truth, service and righteous.
ness, and the object of the union ito
strengthen the young people of the Uni

may do more and better work for the king

NOTES ABOUT THE BoxERs.

Billy Woods is still In Washington look
ing for match. He has slipped up in get
ting n go with the Philadelphia heavy
weight, Wnber, who offered to fight the
winner of the Godfrey affair, and now he
is trying to make match with a BraddOck
man, with fair prospects of success. Woods
does not anticipate fighting before the local
club. III he gets on with the Bradlock
man, he expects to go to that town or Balti-
more.
II his bout with Johnny Glynn falls
through, Joe Bateman, his friends say, will
try to get on n match with Jimmy A thony.
The latter is the recent Australian impor-
tation, who says he came TO this country
for the express purpose of walluping BILLY
Plinnner. Anthony is a lighter man than
Joe, but il he is good enough to go against
PliuImer with any show of success, the
Washington boxer may do better by hunt
ing up some other and easier opponent.
The Eureka Club does not appear To be
n defunct Institution after all though IL
did look little wabbly for a while. Though
the two last bouts scheduled by the club
came near ending Its career. the present
management is confident that it can bring
back to il the good opinion of its former
friends and patrons. The Woods-Godfrcy
affair was the most disastrous rap the
Eureka has got, but hereafter, Manager
La FOuDtaine says, such failures as this
will be avoided by requiring all boxers
who enter into dealings with it Ia deposit
n forfeit sufficiently large to insure the
carrying out Of their part Of contracts.
If Peter Maher is substituted for Bob
FitzsimmoDs in the championship battle.
that event, SO far as drawing card is
concerned, is mighty apt To prove a fail
ure. Maher, it is believed by many, has
improved greatly as n boxer In the past
year OF two, but just why this belief
should prevail Is a mystery.
He is an older man than he was when he
met FitZsimmoDs, and has had more ex-
perience; but If he has done an vt hing in the
fighting way since that event that goes
to show his wonderful Improvement there
are many people who would like to have
such performance pointed out. On the
record of past events. IL Corbctt is the
miraculous fighter he rates himself he
ought to whip Maher without turning a
hair In his pompadour; and there are
mighty few people who will go to the ex-
pense of travelling very far to see him do it.
1t is more than likely that aher and Cor.
bett Will not fight, but if they should they
will not fight for the Florida Athletic
Clubs SAL 900 purse. 1t will have to be
a cheaper show.
1t looks very much to-day rs though the
Bateman and Glynn bout, set to take place
on the Goth, has fallen through. Glynn has

SNYDER LOSES THE MONEY
The Second Ward Councilman
Cheated Out of $50
A FORGER is SUCCESSFUL
A Check Which the Councilman Didn't
Sign
A Twelve-year-old Boy nadc the Scape Goat
in a Daring Crime-Imperfect De-
scription of the Forgers

Councilman NJ. P.Snyder OF the Second
ward underwent very painful surgical
operation last Saturday afternoon, and
one from which i. will take him several
days to recover. AS result one of his
legs is shorter than it ought to be by
Just an even $50.
Snyder was busy in his shoe emporium
on Spring street on Saturday, when Be-
mus Phelps, the 12-year-old son of the
Main street carriage manufacturer, en-.
tered the place and presented to the Sec
ond ward councilman two bits of paper.
One was check upon a local bank for
$50 and the other was written request
that he cash it and hand the money to
the bearer, who was to deliver it at its
destination. The check purported to
have been signed by Allen 81 Flint, the
lawyers, and bore the Ostensible endor Sc
ment of Councilman Frank S. Munson of
the third ward. The second bit of paper
ptlrported 10 be a note from Munson to
his colleague asking him to accom- m oo tie
him by cashing the cneck and sending
the money to his residence on Hill
street. The check, Munson's endorse
ment and the personal note to Snyder
wers ell the work of a forger who had in
duced young Phelps to present them to
the Second ward councilman by the pay
ment of % cents. The youthful messen-
ger had been instructed by the forger to
really bring the money to Councilman
Munson's residence, and he was in the
vicinity when tho BOY later brought the
cash, intercepting him at Munson's door
steps. The clever operator thus took no
chances, for had the boy escaped him
and gone into the Munson residence he
would have had warning in advance and
would have escaped.
The forgeries were not discovered until
MONDAY. when Snyder casually brought
up the subject to Munson at the council
meeting held that day.
Young PHELPS has furnished to the po-
lice description of the forger, but it is
not very perfect one. The boy On Sat-
urday evening told his father how easily
he had that dav made 25 cents. Snyder
is familiar with Munson's signature and
says thar the forgeries are more than
ordlna lily clever. From other stories
told in banking circles, it appears that
the same operator has made several SIM
liar clean-ups of small amounts among
local m erchants within the past ten DAYS.
