RUsIE HAS APPEALED.
His Lawyer Asks the Board Of Arbitr'
tiUn to Act In the Matter.

His Lawyer Asks the Board of Arbitr ra-
tiUn to Act In the Matter.
President Young, chairman of the national
board of arbitration, has received an ap-
peal from Amos Rusie, the Hoosfer pitcher,
who has refused to sign new contract.
The appeal asks that body to compel the
New York Club to refund the 500 OF fines
which was Ia ken from Amos last fnstalment
ofsalary OH Octoberl. The board willalso be
asked to release Rusic from reservation. on
the grounds that the club owes him Tor sal
AIRY which has been overdue, meaning the
amount deducted for these fines.
News from Indianapolis is TO the effect
that the New York Club will not have the
services OF Ruse this year, unless one OF the
other OF the parties to their controversy
backs down, AMI it looks as If both are DRIFT
ing further apart all the time. That which
gives an ugly phase to the case is The 1act
that Rusie has placed his cause III the bands
Of a lawyer.
Rusie cannot get his release onth grounds
he sets forth in his appeal but it is probable
that his lawyer intends to carry the case 10
the courts, II the board decides adversely
Rusics father claims that Mr.. Freeman
promised him at the Bates House, in Indian
apolis, last summer, in the presence or Il thlru
party hat the Baltimore fine would not be
enforced and authorized him 10 tell Amos
Rusc's last words were, II am standtng on
principle, If it takes me out OF the business:
Rusies father was less radical in taik-
inyoyer the case than was Amos. andseemed
inclined to counsel moderation but the
fractions pitcher took the bit in his mouth
and ran wild He declared that he would
not think of retreating from the stand he
had taken, even If lie never pitched III an
other game of professional ball.
The rumor of a disera ceful scene which
was said to have occurred on his last trlp
to Philadelphia he pronounces a mahcious
libel. and saws he only hopes that some
one will attempt to publish the story SO
that he can reach it through the courts
and make his caIumniators suffer. Last
year he stood between the club and some
of his guilty friends In the team, and was
fined $500 therefor. Hereafter he Will
take care of Amos"

Pottsville, Pa, March 21.-Andrew
Stoke, of this place, is laboring under most
peculiar hallucination, and his case has baf-
fled the physicians of the town. A short
time ago he was an industrious miner, but q
week ago he dreamed that he was intensely
wicked, and since that time has prayed in

He imagines his bedroom is filled with
angels and spirits of departed ones. He de-
clares he must keep praying in order to keep
the evil spirits from seizing him. At the
first step of any one into his bedroom he
holds his Bible, with a deathike grip. to his
breast, fearful lest it be wrested from him.

Fitzsimmons and Jim Daily came very
near having a serious encounter in Buffdlo
on Wednesday night. Daly was Corbett S
former sparriDg partner and because he
was not selected to spar with Lanky Bob
he was cross. He threatened to do the
new champion and Fitz said he would
smash Days head with bottle. Friends
interfered and trouble was prevented FOR
the time.

last until April 10.
The athletes who will carry the honor of
the Stars and Stripes in the land which was
the home of heroes and the delight OF poets
can scarcely be called a representative
American team, but too much praise cannot
be given to the organizations that sent
them out

wreaths from Ancient Greece or not, the
fact remains that to the Boston Athletic
A ssociation and Princeton University re-
mains the honor of having stepped into the
breach.
The portion OF the program in which
the Drawn and muscle of America will
be pitted against all comers Is as follows:
One hundred, 400, 500 ani 500 meters
foot races, 10 meters hurdle race, pat

That Australian starting machine can
be beaten, as the following, taken from 4
California paper of recent date, will show:
Jockey Shields has clearly mastered the

flag he comes pretty near 'ducking the
webbing Three times in a single day he
shot his mount out from under the barrier
while lt was making its upward flight
and before some of the pin-hcads got their
mouths closed again Shields was showing
the way al merry clip. He won with every
mount Wednesday. and won all the way,
too. If some of the other boys do not get
onto the wrinkle Shields will have an i'm

"Curly'' Brown, inventor of the starting
machine in use at New Orleans. has re-
ceived n telegram from the owners OF the
Kansas City track practically guarantee
ing his reinstatement and offering him a
good salary to resume his old position as
starter at Exposition Park. Brown was
ruled off by the Kansas City people through
the efforts of Glen Creveiing, the Roby sec
retary. with whom Brown had personal
quarrel.
A filly is pretty liable to prove factor
in the Tennessee Derby. Lady IDez has
more pretensions to class than any of tho

This of itself proves nothing. However,

longs in Lac 81. Captive. Pat Dunne's

William SINNERS has brought another
colt, Bonnie George, which, it is claimed. is
a wonder, and, many believe. will win the
Kentucky Futurity. Bonnie George was
bred by the Jewctts. SINNERS has prob
ably brought more fast colts than any man
around Buffalo. He is one of the best
breakers and handlers in that city, though
he never took to driving. He is a good
trainer and conditioner. II he thinks well
of Bonnie George the colt must be good
one.
