TO PROTECT OARSNIEN.
Senator Hills Bill Passed Yesterday
by the Senate.

AS noted in The Stars report of the Sem
ate's proceedings yesterday, that body
pa ssed the bill providing for revenue cutters
at rowing regattas to preserve order. Sen
ator Hill was asked to introduce the bill by
propinen mt alumni of Columbia College, New
York. Columbia insisted that the boat race,
in which her crew had entered to row the
Fights from Pennsylvania Harvard and
Cornell universities, should take place on
the Hudson river course at Poughkeepsie.
The other colleges voted against Pough-
keepsie, on account of its being a navigable
river and the likelihood of steamers inter-
fering with the race.
By way of a compromise, it was agreed at
the last meeting of the delegates from the
four colleges that If Columbia could get a
bill passed by Congress protecting the COM
peting crews from interference by excur-
sion steamers the other colleges would re-
consider their vote for Saratoga lake. If
the bill is passed by the House it is more
than likely that Poughkeepsie will get the
big race
1t will be remembered that at last years
boat race at Poughkeepsie between Cornell,
Columbia and Pennsylvania, Gov. Morton's
boat caused such a wash that Pennsyl-
vania's boat was swamped and Cornelrs
half flied.

WITHOUT INTERFERENCE.
SparrinE Exhibitions Last Night Mt
Highlands.

Sparring Exhibitions Last Night at
Highlands.
Two sperring exhibitions were given at
Steubner's road house, at Highlands, last
night, under the auspices Of the newly or
ganized Nonpareil Athletic Club. There
was a good-sized crowd from this city and
interference. The first bout was a fifteen
round affair between Alec Brown and Tody
Banks, two clever lightweights, who gave
one of the best exhibitions Of the manly
art seen in this vicinity for long time.
Banks had shade the better of it, but
there was SO little to chose between them
that the referee, Mr.. Pat Raedy, called the
bout a draw, a decision which satisfied
everybody but Banks who acted as though
he had been robbed.
The second contest was to have been a
twenty-round go for the middle-weight
championship of the District between Billy
Payton and Dick Phillips. Owing to the
light receipts, 1t was decided to limit the
go to ten rounds. The result showed that
ten were. more than enough to determine
the contest. The two men are personal
enemies, and went at each other hammer
and tongs, without much regard to science
The pace was too fast for Phillips, and he
resorted to butting and other foul tactics
He was warned repeatedly. The contest
progressed without special advantage to
either man up to the seventh round, when
during a clinch-Pbillips picked up his
antagonist and threw him backward over
the ropes.
This was such a palpable foul that the
referee promptly awarded the contest to
Payton. Neither man was much hurt.
During the evening Pat Raedy announced
his Willingness to fight any white man in
the District

Now, there Is means for overcoming
all this, by substituting a machine for q
man. A machine can have no preferences.
1t is absolutely impartial. I have not seen
the Australian starting machine. but I'M
derstand it is complete success. 1t ought
to be adopted as the first essential to re-
storing the sport to its proper place.
The Pool Room EVIL.
Then, second, overcome the abuse re-
sulting from pool rooms in no way con-
nected with tracks. Today there are pool
rooms scattered all over the small cities.
The men who patronize them never see a
race, never think of the horses and take
no interest in the actual sport. Do away
with these outside betting resorts and
make it Illegal to place a bet on a race
outside legal race track. Then you do
away with the Incentive which the dry
goods clerk has to tap the till and sneak
his money nto some back pool room
Every bet Is open and above board.
Those are two reforms easily secured -
added the Senator, land when we get
them, as we are sure to, there will be a
general revival of racing interests among
decent men, which will place the American
Thoroughbred and the American turf in
proper relation to the interests of the
country at large" PAULINE PRY

Yesterdays Base Ball Game Between
Brooklyn and Washington.


The snail is proverbially slow, but this
acme of retarded locomotion is not to be
compared to the lorg-drawn-out exhibition
at National Park yesterday afternoon, sup
posed to be a game Of base ball. which
the visitors won by IL to 8. At 6:15 o'clock,
when ordinarily the ninth inning is ap-
preaching an end, the Washington and
Brooklyn clubs had just completed the
fourth. Umpire Keefe. after an unusually
stormy afternoon, called Camel on ac-
count of darkness the curfew chimes
over in Freedmans Hospital tolled the hour
of I, and reference to the score showed
that no further advance had been made
than the opening Of the seventh.
1t was as peculiar a contest as the one
the day before was exciting, a see-saw
strife, Brooklyn taking the lead, Wash
ington tying the score. the Bridegrooms
again pushing to the front, Washington
seeing the ante and going two better and
the visitors hnally rakipg in the pot with
bluff Of four.
In the second inning Joyce, while at the
bat, was struck squarely in the face by
pitched ball. He retired, Rogers going to
third and Lush to second.
There was a continuous kick by the WIS.,
1tors at the umpiring. and in one instance
long perusal of the rules to decide a
question as to interpretation
A gentleman with fierce mustache,
named Harper, who experienced some diff
Suity ~ making the sphere graV1tate over
the plate, pitched for Brooklyn, while
young McJames did like duty for the home
club.
On two bases on balls, two-bagger and
single, the visitors led off with a trio of
runs in the first
Washington, in the second, moved I'D
within one point on three-bagger, a
single and a scratch, together with a steal,
The men from Trolleytown got another
IN the third on an error, two steals and a
single; two more in the fourth by means
of single and a home run, and an addi-
tional half-dozen in the sixth through two
bases on balls, several hits and a general
tossing of the ball about the field in the
direction opposite that in which the PLAYERS
happened to be stationed.
Washington, in the fourth. made two on
hits and base on balls, and wound up its
run-getting in the fifth with four scores,
the result Of two hits too brisk for the
feeders to gather in, a couple of errors and
a. hit.

METHODIST WOMEN LOSE.

The Two-ThIrds Majority for Their Admis-
sion to the General Conference Not Sc
cured.
NEW YORK, April 1s-Women as lay
delegates cannot enter the coming
general conference of the Methodist
church through door opened wide by
a constitutional amendment, for on the
direct vote of the ministers of the
church the women were beaten. The
Troy conference, in session at Glovers-
vile, n. Y, settled the question by
voting down the Baltimore amend
ment, i13 to 70. This does not abso-
lutely decide the women question in
it's bearing on the coming conference.
but it does destroy the chief reliance
of the women. This question, the most
important and the most far reaching
in possibilities the Methodist church
has ever been called upon to face, is
now left in state of more hopeless
confusion than ever.
