CURRENT SPORTING NOTES

ST. LOUIS. November 2S.-Chris Won der
Abe says he is in the saddle once more.
Having deposed b. F. Muckenfuss from
the presidency of the Browns Chris, as vice
president of the Sportsmans Park Club
which controls the franchise of the ST.
Louis Browns, is confident that the Ma
tional League will recognize him such
at its annual meeting in New York next
month
Muckenfuss is receiver of the club, hav-
ing been appointed last summer by Judge
Wood of the circuit court. He is also pre-
pairing to attend the National League meet
ing. With both demanding recognition as
in st. Louis. the baS ball moguls will have
a knotty problem to unite.
Chris is one of the directors of the Ma
tional League. He contends that the St.
Louis franchise is the property of the ST.
Louis Base Ball Association, of which he is
the sole owner, and that the Sportsman's
Park Club has been allowed to use the
franchise through his consent. According
to Muckenfuss. however the National
League is certain to recognize him as re-
ceiver of the Sportsman's Park Club and
accord him as such all the rights and
privileges pertaining to the control of the
st. Louis franchise. Muckenfuss says that
John T. Brush and other prominent league
magnates have assured him of this fact.
Chris says he will fight Muckenfuss to
the bitter end.
Il expect to be on top again next season."
said Chris, and expect to have Charlie
Comiskey as manager and captain of the
club"

GLENWOOD CEMETERY.
REORGANIZATION of Conn ittees-Plans
for Improving Grounds.

At a meeting of Glenwood cemetery ad-
visory committee held Saturday evening in
Spencerian College Hall No. 1, the reor-
ganization of the board of trustees and of
the advisory committee was announced a.
follows: Trustees-Philip Larner, presiden,
Walter G. Clephane, secretary; H. {
Towles, treasurer: Samuel X. Behrerd a.,
Anton Heitmuiler
Advisory COMMUNICATION Heitmuller,
chairman; Mrs. Sara A. Spencer. secretary.
VIM. II. Mcknew, treasurer; Rev. S. Do
mer, Geo. w. Harrington and Miss Alice
l.. Kern. -rF...r
Heitmuller, took the ground that not only
lot owners Of Glenwood, but relatives an6
heirs of those buried there, should be earn
estly invited to cooperate in the work OF
making the graves bright and permanently
safe, and the cemetery itself an ornament
to the national capital. Now that per-
petual injunction has been issued against
running streets through or in anywise dis
turbng this g1ound, dear to so many OF the
families in Washington, he said the inter
est in making it permanently attractive is
wise, intelligent and wholesome.
The new iron railing along Lincoln ave-
nue. Is already constructed, and plans for
handsome gates and an artistic and durable
gatekeeper'S lodge are under considera-
ton.
1t Is coming to be better understood that
the lOt owners are not mere iol nolueFS IN
a cemetery belonging to a church or corpo-
ration, but owners of the entire domain IN
fee simple. The sale of twenty acres to the
Catholic University for $4,000 enabled the
trustees to cancel all Indebtedness, pay for
the chapel and leave the property free of
all incumbrance.
The secretary, Mrs. Spencer, reported
that twenty-five out of the proposed forty
friendly visitors had accepted service an'
begun the work of searching out lot owners
and friends of Glenwood and personally III
teresting them in the improvements in pro-
gress and in contemplation. Seven OF these
had already reported 81 525 in SUBSCRIPTIONS
and contributions and $1,215 Of this
amount had been paid to the treasurer.
Mr.. McKnew. Yet less than one-tenth OF
the lot owners known to reside in wash
ington had been reached.
Mr.. Heitmuller and Mrs. Spencer request
all Interested who have not yet been
reached to call upon them or send their adj
dresses to the secretary.

ANOTHER CUP RACE.
A LOng-Distance Contest Arranged
for Wednesday at BennlnE.

The Washington Jockey Club will con-
tinue its autumn meeting today, tomorrow
and Wednesday, and on the closing day
there will be a renewal of the Washington
cup race, at two and one-quarter miles.
There will be six races each day, the first
to be called at o'clock.
The meeting has been the most successful
in the history of the club. decpte the fact
that on several days the weather was most
unfavorable for large attendance. AS
was confidently expected, the Washington
cup race Thanksgiving day proved the most
interesting event of the meeting and aroused
the greatest enthusiasm. in providing for
renewal of this race for Wednesday the
club proposes to give the many racegoers
who We're prevented by the wIntry weather
from attending last Thursday an opportu-
nifty of witnessing hotiy contested long
distance race. The field Wednesday will
consist of the horses which started Thanks
giving day, with possibly some others, and
it remains to be whether jefferson
can repeat his victory.
In deciding to postpone the facing Satur-
day the officials of the club acted upon
the recommendation of Secretary Crick-
more, who explained that the track was
too unsafe to risk running IN it. This ac-
ton of the club may not have been popular
with those who simply make business of
racing, but 1t was popular wit those VINO
have the best interests of the sport at heart
and who are opposed to anything which
smacks of winter racing.

The Birlow Papers.

1.-THE Biglow Papers" deserve to
be considered, says j. S. Tunison in
The Atlantic. They were not exotic.
They grew right out Of the soil up
on which the struggle eliminated
that had absorbed the activities Of
the whole English speaking race.
They are as real to one member of
that race as to another. just for the
reason that in the midst Of a civil
conflict with its factional and dis
persive tendencies the highest flights
of poesy were impossible, the poet
was artistically right in turning
back to the ways and language Of
common life. He has given the pas
sion as well as the humor of his
time. He enables his readers to live
over again a period which, when ii
can be seen in its entirety, without
the distractions that were merely
incidental to it, will stand out as
the characteristic part Of the nine
teenth century, embodying in it's re-
suits all those individual and nation.
al aspirations which were hardly
more than words when the century
began. Whoever returns to the
study of that period will find the
details wherever he may, but he
can always vitalize them with the
breath of Lowell's poem.
