The delegates were unanimously of the
opinion that the question of the reduction
OF ornaments would be the most difficult 70
meet. and they believed IT would be rele-
gated to the rear of the two other features
especially since the special object OF the
conference Is now acknowledged to be an
endeavor TO establish means for the solv-

course to war, thus increasing the rarity of

seemed convinced however, that numerous

would be protracted.

Records of the Clubs.

The Washington club opened up a series
of three games in Cleveland yesterday and
for once at least found the club represent
ing that city very much to their liking,
winning easily by the score of Ia to 3.
SudhOtf, the little twirler who has done
so well since graduating into major league
ranks, was on the rubber for the Cleve-
lands, and the Senators saluted him as if a
longlost brother was found. Opposed to
Sudhoff was the wonder of the nineteenth
century, Sir Augustus weighing, who placed
another victory to his credit through a
mastery exhibition of the twiring art.
Local enthusiasts hardly appreciate the
great work of weighing this spring. but
from his fellow Senators, Gus has always
pitched effectively. He is thoroughly &C
quainted with all the batting faults of the
Cleveland veterans, and it was almost a
foregone conclusion that he would win his
game when he opposed them. Lave Cross,
one of the most consistent StickerS in the
league. was the only Cleveland player to
get more than one hit off of Weyhings de-
livery.
Coupled up with Weyhing's good work
was the fine all-round playing of the other
eight Senators. Cassidy erred at first in
dropping two thrown balls. but they were
not costly, and the big fellow hammered out
two singles and double. Bonner was the
other transgresser In the error column, but
he, too, came to the rescue with his bat,
smuggling the ball for two triples and a
single. The other Senators fielded their
positions well, and Buck" Freeman made
a home run that went down as the longest
hit on the Cleveland grounds this season.

QUINN PROVED A GOOD ONE.
Defeated Lenhart, ROBBERS Wrestling
Fnrtner, in a short Time.

Jack Quinn of Alexandria proved too
much for ROBBERS wrestling partner. Char
lie Lenhart, at Kernan's last night. Roeber
had been announced to meet Fred. Miller OF
Brooklyn, whom he defeated in thirteen
minutes. Quinn challenged the champion
from the audience. but Roeber was en-
gagged Quinn was promised $15 If he could
last fifteen minutes with Lenhart. He ac-
cepted and easily defeated Lenhart in two
minutes and thirty-nne seconds. much to
the delight of the audience. Quinn then
insisted on having a try at Roeber, and the
latter consented to meet him tonight, when
he will forfeit $50 if he fails to defeat the
Virginian In fifteen minutes. Leo Pardello,
another of Robbers combination, will
wrestle the preliminary bout with Robert
Roy Mackey, the local wrestler, for a spe-
cial purse.
After the bout last night Quinn and
ROeber became personal in their remarks
to one another and there came near being
a little impromptu scrap in full view of the
audience that was not down on the bills.
Quinn became threatening in his manner,
and endeavored to strike Roeber, but
friends of both men stepped in and quoted
the belligerentS.

OLD ELI AGAIN BEATEN.
GeorGetOwn's Famous Team of Ninety
Nine Wins at New Haven.

For the third time this season Yale was
defeated yesterday by the Georgetown Uni
Versty boys on the New Haven grounds,
II to T. special from New Haven says
the game was present from Pitcher Cook:
but no matter, the victory belongs to the
wearers of the blue and gray. For the
first time this season Cook weakened COM
pletely, giving Georgetown six runs in the
fourth inning, two of them being forced in.
He steadied down later, but Yale, although
batting well, could score but two more
runs. In the last inning Downes made
pretty running catch that deprived Yale
of two more runs. The game was poorly
played throughout from a fielding stand
point. both teams having six misplays
marked against them. After the victory of
Pennsylvania over the Georgetown boys,
the Yale followers looked forward to GER
tain win. but the poor work of Cook for
one inning apparently demoralized the en-
tire team. incidentally 1t might be remark
ed that Bach and White pitched effective
ball for the Georgetown team at critical
points of the contest. Score:
