time owing to the failure to secure suita-
BILE playing field.
The matter of securing places to play the
games and carry out the full schedule VIII
be Immediately taken up with the lnten-
ton of proceeding with the games without
further delay. For the consideration OF
this matter a special meeting OF league
delegates has been called Tor tonlgnL, 10 De
held at the Orient cycle store on 14th street
below III street. 1t is thought that the
teams backed by associations and proVid-
ed with playing grounds sumclentiy large
will play all home games in their own
gymnasiums, while a hall Will likely De
rented for the other mines.
Another important matter to be brought
before the league will be the consideration
of applications for admission by the Cor
coran Cadet Corps and the washington
Light Infantry Corps. Both organizations
have taken an active interest IN the sport
to the extent of forming and putting in the
field strong teams. Both teams are con-
sidered as highly desirable additions to be
made to the league, especially as each has
an entirely suitable place to play the game
and would receive strong support. There is
no doubt felt that they would add much
interest to the league games through su-
perior ability.
Indoor base ball is gaining steadily in
popularity among athletes of the Young
Mems Christian Association, and support
ers are being added to ITS ranks almost
every day. From among the recent new
players second team has been organized
as a rival to the nine which was first or
ganized and which represented the associa-
ton to date.
The Y. M. c. AS second nine numbers
the following prominent athletes: Eddie
Mills, captain and half back of the foot
ball team; Dick Dalton. A. Atchison. Ernie
Atchison, Harry Brown. Buck Davidson,
Preston, Morsell. Charles. Parker and New
ton. Rivalry between the first and second
teams has grown to a high pitch and the
latter has challenged the first team to a
match game to decide the superiority Of
the two teams. This game will be played
in the gymnasium tomorrow night and will
be followed. no doubt. by reorganization
of the first team. From the showing of
the players tomorrow night the new team
will be picked, so that competition will be
close and a very hard and exciting game
is expected. All the members who care to
try will likely be given chance for the
team.
An exhibition game Will be played with
the new Corcoran Cadet indoor base ball
nine by the Y. M. C. A. team as reorganized
at the iatter's gymnasium, beginning at
$50 O'Clock The Corcorans have developed
a strong team.

The Nenr-Side RuIe


10 the Editor of The Evening Star:
The letter in yesterday evenings Star by
Mr.. j. B. Chamberlain on the subject of
stopping street cars on the near side of
crossings deserves the careful attention of
every thoughtful man and woman in WASH
ington- No one who is close observer can
fail to see, as Mr. Chamberlain has so
clearly and plainly pointed out, that the
system of stopping the cars on the near
side is not only announcement and him
ORANGE TO travel on the streets. but It Is
Particularly dangerous. The accident last
Friday which resulted in the death of Can
tain Ayres was undoubtedly caused bv the
car stopping on the near side of the cross
ing. When one is starting to cross a street
the point OF danger for the first half is to
the left; while after reaching the middle of
the street the danger comes from the right
When car stops on the near side il stops
just where it will shut of the view in both
of these directions, and therefore lust
where it is most likely to cause accidents
This belief which many people have that II
Is safer to stop the cars on the near side
Is very largely delusion. II this sys-
tenn prevents accidents, why is IL NOT Noe
essary to compel the cars to stop at all
crossings? In the course of a DAVIS run I
presume that each car stops at less than
half the crossings. Why is it that accidents
so seldom happen at crossings where the
cars do not stop? Simply because the peo-
pie look out for the cars, and the watchful
motormen look out for the people When
has there been an accident on PennsyIva mia
avenue southeast, where the cars ALWAYS
cross the streets before stopping?
As Mr.. Chamberlain so clearly stated. the
great source of danger is the uncertainty
as to whether car is going to stop or nor
and how long II will stop. The delay to
drivers and pedestrians adds to the danger
People must either wa;ttill the car move.
on again or take the risk of crossing In
front of the car. II the car crossed the
street before stopping 1t would lessen both
the delay and the danger. for then people
would only have to wait while the car
passed, and then they could cross behind
the car In perfect safety. Whether the car
stopped on the other side only momentarily,
or Tor 1ye minutes, or whether It did not
stop at all. would be matter Of no con-

unfortunate last night in his bout with
Broadway Athletic Club, New York. Moi
fatt had all the better of the argument up
to the middle of the seventh round. when
he broke his left forearm in swinging for
Gardiner, who blocked the blow with his
elbow.
Moffatt kept on fighting with his right,
his left hanging uselessly by his side, but
Gardiner was unable to land a knockout
blow. despite the fact that his manager,
Tom O'Rourke, cried to him repeatedly to
go in and finish 1t.
When Moffatt went to his corner he told
the referee that his arm was broken. White
examined the injured arm, and when the
bell rang for the beginning of the eighth
round both men stepped to the center Of
the ring, and White went between them,
neither having shaped for the renewal of
hostilities.
The referee then announced that Moffatt
was unable to continue, and declared Gardi-
ner the winner.
Much sympathy was felt for the western

pointed and outgeneraled his opponent.
