League Team VIII he Removed II
sunday Games Are Prohib.ted.


Cleveland, Ohio, March 24.-President
Robson, of the Cleveland team, declares
openly that if Sunday ball is stopped In
this city he will give up trying to make
a team pay here, and while he refuses
to tell what he intends to do with his
team, the following plan is outlined by
one very near TO him The other mem
bers of the League would he willing TO
give something to get Cleveland out OF 1t
and have the splendid Cleveland team
located in well-paying city. Itis known
that Won Der Ahe, of st. Louis, is ready
to give up at any time. Louisville, Too,
has been struggling until 1T is ready to
drop, and from these facts conclusions are
easIl, drawn. The League, il is said,
would gladly buy two cheap franchises
for the sake OF getting the two losing
cities out.
With ten clubs in the circuit there would
be Just J. 80 games more to divide up in
good paving cities than with twelve clubs
in: then, too, Some other clubs, where
good team would pay, but where the
people will not stand for poor one Brook
lyp. for instance-co could be strengthened
from the Louisville and st. Louis teams.
1t NAV be stated plainly and forcibly that
this very scheme was largely what kept
President F. Deli Robson out OF the
CITY for six weeks so recently.

Gen. Ayers Charity.

To the Editor of The Times:
Having been personally benefited through
the Kindness of Gen Russell A. Alger. 1
would like to let people know few Of
the characteristics of tie new Secretary of
War. His manifold acts of unassuming
charity are worthy the consideration OF
the people in his new home. In his own
city, many prayer has ended with God
bless Gen. Alger." A cry from suffering
humanity has never been known to be re-
pulsed, and ne always finds time to sym
pathize and help those who have gone to
him in financial straits. Money has for
him but one pleasure, to relieve suffering
humanity, land if he had used his money
or allowed his friends to use it as others
have done, he might today be, where he
ought TO be, at the head Of his country

Cadets Given "a Close Call by the
Wheelmen in Basketball Game.

Cadets Given Close Call by the
wbeeluep i'm a Basketball Game.
The league game of basketball, played
In the Light Infantry Armory last night, by
the Corcoran Cadets and Queer Wheel
men teams, was won by the former by
score of to L. AS it has been given out
that the Corcorans' play so scientific and so
clean a game of basketball, the game OF
last night and the manner OF It's playing
was sore disappointment tothe spectators
For the most part IL was not basketball
at all, and it is claimed by the ma sority
of witnesses that the rough and tumble
playing was begun by several of the cadets
and continued by them to the end. Not
withstanding this style OF playing, the
losers put up great game against the
cadets and gave them bad scare, and
they deserve credit for the good showing
made and the manner in which the score
was kept down.
For general rough playing, Waters of
the Corcorans. was put out OF the game
by Umpire Mangan, but why Becker, OF
the Queers, who was being constantly as
saulted, should be put off the field too, was
past understanding; he was more sinned
against than shining.
Tierney, winghammer, Ross and Won
Bockman played good all-round game
LOTUS attempt of goal from center or
field was loudly applauded. 1t was u
great effort, the ban striking on the edge
of the basket and rolling off.
The Queers were given two free throws
and the Corcorans three, from neither of
which a goal resulted.
Mt. Mangan, of C. l., officiated as
umpire. Mr. Lonsdale as referee, and Mr..
Neumeyer and Mr.. McGlue, timer and
scorer, respectively.
