HART CRITICIsEs H ANLos.
He intmates That the BaItimore
Manager Wants Rovdy Ball.

ne intfmates Tint the Baltfmore
Manager Wants Rowdy Ball,
president James A Hart of the Chicago
Baii Club returned to Chicago from the
south yesterday. For the first time this
winter he talked freely about the plans of
the Chicago club. He announced that
Thomas E. Burns had been offered terms
to manage the Colts, which he would un-
ooubtedly accept, and incidentally fell to
discussing playing rules and criticising
PRESIDENT Hanlon of the Baltimore club.
Ihere Is incipient war among the MEM
bers Of the rules committee Of the National
League and the differences will be fought
out at the st. Louis meeting 1t Is all over
the rule relating to what is called .rowdy
pail. Me, Hart drafted a rule covering the
essential features of the noted Brush reso
luton adopted at Philadelphia. and criti-
c1ses Mr.. Hanlon for making public the
provisions of the rule before it had been
submitted to the league
Mr.. Hart says: "AS framed If the r,Ja
does away With the necessity of the Rrusb
resolution. Mr.. Reach signed 1t, but Mr..
Hanlon opposed 1t, and he has come ont
IN the newspapers against it. Ny propo-
sltion Is that the umpire's power 20 impose
fines be taken entirely away, but that in
lieu of that he be given power to suspend
player not only for the game but for any
time he may see fit. In other words. he
may say to player, You get out of this
game, and you cannot return to the field
while l am umpiring here That may be
for four games. Such measures would force
teams to quit their rowdyism. NY idea is
to increase the umpire's power He has
been a long-trodden-upon individual. Let's
put sword in his hand and make him a
general
Il will acknowledge" continued the Chi
cago president, that scarcely expect TO
secure the adoption of my rule at the ST.
Louis meeting. There are too many teams
which have grown accustomed to adopting
rowdy methods and would be sure to suffer
by the adoption of the measure as COM
pared with those teams that conduct them
selves more decently. But propose to nut
my associates in the league on record in
this matter. Their actions on the subject
will not be considered executive session se-
crets, but will be published to the base hall
world" Mr.. Hart intimated, without ex-
actiy saying so. that Hanlon's opposition
to the "rowdy BALI clause was because the
Baltimore man had too many rough PLAYERS
on tho Baltimore team.
President Hart has engaged training
grounds for the Colts at Waycross. Ga.
Inc town Is ninety miles from the gulf In
the pine belt, and has a ball park. The
Ch1cagos probably will leave March a

The case of the young men, Rozier Har-
rison and George Suit, who were arrest ted
for fishing near Giesboro' Point, as pt,b-
hshed in yesterdays Star, was called for
trial before Judge Kimball this afternoon
1t was alleged in the information that the
defendants were operating a haul-seine in
the Potomac river. Policeman Stevens OF
the Anacostia station told of the arrest of
the defendants. They were hauling a seine
in the Eastern branch of the Potomac river
he said, and he arrested them. Witness
saw number Of fish on the shore, and 1t
also appeared that there were fish in the
seine. A colored witness gave similar tes-
timony.
The defendants admitted that they were
fishing, but said they were fishing in the
charged in the Information.
capt. j. L. lIuckett, a river pilot, called
by the defense, said that where the de-
PENDANTS were fishing is known as the Ana
costa river.
Judge Kimball inquired if the stream had
not always been known as the Eastern
branch of the Potomac river, and he said
1t had not. What Judge Kimball called the
Washington channel, he said, had always
been known as the Eastern branch of the
Potomac.
The Judge said he had lived here many
years and the information given by the
witness was news to him.
Harbor Master Sutton was also examined,

taken, and the court continued the case
until Saturday, when additional testimony

Perfectly Formed and Fourteen Feet

From the Kansas City Journal.
Near the Cascade, three miles from Sus-
quehanna, Pa, a party of bluestone quar-
rymen found a round stone projecting from
the ground. 1t was in the way of teams
hauling stones, apd the men attempted to
pull 1t up. The foreman instructed his men

made to pull it out, and 1t broke off. They
continued to throw up the earth, and, as
result three long pieces were broken Off
At last the forsman concluded to see where
1t ended. After several hours were con-
sumed in the work the end was reached.
The men were surprised to find, whsn they
finished their work, a perfectly formed SER
pent's head and neck.
The foreman OF once concluded that they
had unearthed a petrifed serpent. The
pieces were placed together and formed a
perfect snake fourteen feet long The eyes,
nostrils and mouth are distinct and un-
mistakably marksd, as are the dark and
lighter brown spots upon the sides. The
head Is about six inches wide, and de-
creases one-third In thickness from the
top down.
The neck gradually grows smaller, and
then the body increases in size until the
middle Is reached. where the diameter is
six inches. From that point 1t declines to
the tail. One piece Is missing. evidently
about one foot in length. The petrifaction
of what are supposed to have been the
feshy parts Of the monster has a color cor
responding to red sandstone, while that Of
the vertebrae Is several shades lighter and
softer.

Matters In General.
j. Earl Wagner, secretary and treasurer
OF the Washington Base Ball Club, in dis
cussing the views of the league magnates
presented in last Saturdays Star regarding
the abolition of the sacrifice bunt said to
representative of Tha SHf:
Il see that the strong -clBbs are opposed
to the abolition of the Bhnts which verifies
the prediction I have made! The abolition
of the bunt would greatly benefit the Phil
adelphia and Chicago ciibssl possibly more
than all the others excepting st. Louis, and
why they should be'opp0sed, to change of
the rules, even from a,=selash standpoint,
is to me chemical prNbls1P. Aside from
the equity involved in the consideration Of
this question, which shapldDreceiv careful
consideration, 1t Is chanEh demanded by
a very large majority of theupatrons Of the
game, and as they are otheofnentors Of the

the game running, we should cater to their
opinions upon this and kindred subjects IN

The Mount Pleasant Athletic Club and
the Queer Wheelmen played a game of
basket ball last night at the Washington
Light Infantry Hall, the latter winning by
to 1. The game was closely fought and
very exciting from the start, and the
marked improvement in all-round playing
or the M. p. A. c. was quite noticeable last
night The game was clean throughout,
and no roughness characterized the play.
Neither side scored in the first inning. In
the second inning Hess of the Mount Pleas
ant team scored by remarkable overland
throw from the field, followed by a free
hand pass by Garfield of the Queer Wheel
men, which tied the score. This was soon
followed by another field goal by Buckley
OF the same team, and in the last inning
Garfield completed his work by throwing
the necessary goal, which won the game
for his team. The throwing of the ball by
Holmead the fun length Of the hall on sew

Hess and Appleby of the same team were
features OF the game. For the Queer

were loudly applauded for their excellent
