JUTH AND HOWARD WILSON.
They VIII Battle at the Spa Next
Monday Night.

g
The twenty-roundeontest between How
ard Wilson and Jack Juth before the Spa
Club next Monday night will afford the
local followers of the fistic sport and early
visitors to the Inauguration an entertain
ing evening There will be first-class
preliminary bout between Arthur Jones,
the ''stra wberry blonde quadroon.'' and a
competitor yet to be selected by the off
ciais of the Spa, - .e
Juth is the German boy who fought a
twenty-round draw with Pierce. the we'll
known Philadelphia fighter, at the Spa on
the evening of January-19. He made ia
vorable impression upon the audience in
that contest by reason of his clean, fair
style offighting daggressiveness against
Pierce. The latter was the larger man OF
the two, and possessed big reputation
hence Juth's showing was exceedingly cred
liable.
Juth is in hard training at present. vii
sonis also hard ut work nd will enter tie

Baltimore, Feb. % Rules, Rusie and the
schedule were eussed ana discussed by the
baseball magnates today. Tonight Harry
Won der Horst entertained the visitors at
dinner at the Rennert, and at late
hour the crowd separated to meet again
tomorrow for concluding session.
As predicted IN these dispatches, the
League season Will open on the 22d Of
April, except i'll Boston, where there viii
be one preliminary game April 8, which
is local holiday. The champions Will
have Boston as the attraction for the open
ing days: Brooklyn will play in Washing
ton, ami New York in Philadelphia In
the West, st. Louis Will have the Pitts
burg team for the opening day, Louisville
viii have Cleveland, and Cincinnati will
entertain Uncle Anson's Colts
The Rusie case was the first thing taken
up by the League directors today. After
a thorough discussion it was determined
that the league should undertake the de-
fense of the equity suit brought by the
big pitcher in New Jersey, il being the
sense ofthe meeting that reservation clause
inthe national agreement must beprotected
Freedman, of New York, and President
Young were appointed a committee to
represent the league, and they were given
pIenipotentiary powers to combat the
great twirler in the courts Of New Jersey
or elsewhere.
The neXt important action of the meet
ing was TO increase the membership of the
mai Onal board OF arbitration from four
TO six. James A Hart of Chicago and
Frank De Haas Robson of Cleveland We're
added to the board after a lively debate.
Mr. Brush presented the resolution and
made strong argument in favor thereof.
McsSrS SOden, Freedman ana Kerr siren
roISly opposed the change but their efforts
were futile. The opposition refused to
yO,c when the question was out The
vote resulted 10 o.
The date of the annual meeting of the
board of arbitration was then tampered
with. ana when the smoke cleared away it
was found that The first Friday after the
second Tuesday in November had been de-
cided ON. Things were getting rather hot
by this time, and Mr.. Won der Horst sug-
gested that the meeting take a recess.
This was agreed to, and Mr Won de Horst
took the crowd To "A photographer, where a
group picture was taken.
The report of the committee on rules
was taken up when the league reassem-
bIed. The result of the committees labors
was unanimously indorSed, and vote
of THANKS was rendered to Messrs. Hart
Hanlon and Reach for their effective
work. The only pronounced change is the
rules in regard to the coaching Hereafter
but one coacher Will bc allowed on the
lines when there is only one man on a
base. When more than one player has
reached first base a second Coacher can
20 on the field and use his lungs to his
heart s coptent.
The League decided TO give President
Young absolute power In the appointment,
OF official scorers. This feature will
doubtless affect the averages Of some
players. aSit is intended to stop the playing
| of fayorites by appointing men qualif-
| ied to score the game without fear orfavOr.
The report OF the committee on umpireS
| and a few odds and ends viii be disposed of
tomorrow and the Lea que viii then adjourn

AT the beginning Of the present ma ior
league bowling series, the Saengerbund
and Carroll Institute teams met and the
Saengers won both sets. Since then the
teams have divided honors as they did
last night, on the SaengerS' alleys, each
winning a game. The bowling through
out the evening was of high order and
the games were SkilfuIly pla yed and won
and lost on their merits.

CUSHION AND CUE ARTISTS.
Nessrs. shaw and sherman Enter
tain a Large Audience.

4 large crowd OF gentlemen who are
dcyotees to the cushion and cue were en-
terained at Scanlon's paIloTs last night
by Lew Shaw, the famous finger billiard
ist and fancy slot player, and Frank
Sherman, the wizard with the POOL balls.
Sherman opened the program with an
exhibition OF intricate shots on the pool
table. He rocketed the balls at all sorts
OF crazy angles, and Won repeated ap
plause by h.s cleverness. As his CLOSING
act,'' in response TO hearty encore,
he placed six balls in q bunch in the
center of the table, ana then with the
cue hall near tie head cushion he drove
the pack into separate pockets, as called
beforehand. The successful execution of
the pretty conceit aroused the greatest
enthusiasm among the audience
Prof. Shaw followed with a number Of
clever finger tricks with the pool balls,
and then gave an exhibition at billiards
He counted on balls deposited in his silk
hat, jumping the cue bah from the bed of
the table into the glossy tile, He also used
two tables N making a shot, speeding the
white ball five feet over the passageway
between the tables to count on the two
reds. These. with a number of other seem
inFIy impossible feats, composed the enter
tainment. which will notbe soon forgotten by
those who witnessed the work OF the two
artists.

R G. Dun & Co. will say today in their
weekly review OF trade:
Genuine Improvement in business does
not come with a rush, like the breaking
of great dam The growth for some
weeks past has been gradual and moderate.
The rupture of the steel rail and other
combinations in the iron business has
brought out a vast quantity Of trade
which had been held back and has set
many thousands men at work, while the
slow but steady gain in other great in
dustries has given employment to many
thousand more, hut the full effects Will
not appear until the increased purchases
by all these swell the distribution of goods
This comes more slowly and later, but
is already apparent. Certainty regarding
the future will help it nightly. and is by
multitudes expected with strong hope
Meanw hi.e it is substantial ground for
confidence that months which were re-
'garded by many in the money market
with serious apprehension. have passed
| without disturbance, and with steady gain
in the position of the country and OF the
treasury
1t was not to be expected that the
excess of exports over imports would
continue as large in January as it had
been in previous months, and yet it was
surprisingly large. The February returns
have naturaly been less favorable, as
cotton exports fan off this season, and
yet the decrease compared with last year
is trifiing, while the increase in imports,
| to be expected at this sea son,has amounted
durin the past three weeks to only
| S6o9,o4O, compared with last year, or
about per cent. Nothing III the state
of foreign exchanges indicates that the
heavy credits in favor of this country
| have been Hquidated or seriously cinin-

The World of Business

Speculation in Wall street yesterday
uurned upon the pardon of Sanguiliy by the
Spanish government The Importance of
TINS news was hot appreciated by the gen
eral run of traders, and the feeling all
about was that probably the market might
go off slightly, though, of course, II was
evident that the Sanguilly pardon had
greatly cleared the atmosphere. The re-
suit was, therefore, surprise, and rather
a costly one, to great many people. Bus-
ness, which was decidedly sluggish during
the morning, assumed fairly large proper
tioDs iii the afternoon, when tie tone be
came strong and prices advanced all along
the lire. When the shorts attempted To
cover, the demand developed very su all
floating supply of stocks, and it is, there
fore. not surprising under the circumstances
that the advance made rapid progress.
Houses with connections here were among
the principal buyers, fact that was very
significant, Of course, and that certainly
stimulated the upward movement A Gu
rious fact OF the days business was that of
the 100000 shares dealt i'll during the day
those that changed hands during the last
hour of business aggregated as large an
amount as the sales for the previous four
hours sugar figured for oEc-fourth OF the
whole markets business.
1t seems To be the general opinion on the
street at present that the Cuban situation
has, for time at least, lost its terrors.
There is a strong bull unterCurIent in the
market, good for a rise surely, if Cuba
does not figure further in the situation
and probably good to keep up prices fairly
wen willie there is nothing in the Cuban
affair but talk, as it now seems probable
that there viii be during the remainder
of this administration. However, the ad-
yances were so strong yesterday that it
would be well to look for some decline,
perhaps a small one, today Our other
troubles are disappearing. The situation
in Crete is now unimportant to the stock
market, the general business outlook is
fine, for a short time at le asst and the special
felicities of this particular season which
heralds the new administration, must be
counted on for their effect There is no
reason to expect large business, or much
more than the professional trading, in fact,
for some tine to come, but nearly every
thing is favorable if you wish to get into
the marke ct.
