day of January 1900.
After the expiration of this agreement

ing to be informed as to the intention and
desire of the Exhibition Company for the
coming year, through their counsel, Messrs.
Sadtler & Sadtler, sent letter to the COM
pany asking to be advised as to the Exhi-
bition Company's plans without delay. This
letter was received by an officer of the
company, but was not replied to. In the
meantime Mr.. McGraw, representing the
present lessees of the grounds, ap-
piled for lease, and was informed by
the trustees and their counsel that no
proposition from him would be heard until
the desire of Mr.. Hanlon In the matter was
definitely known. The trustees took this
position in Difference to the fact that Mr..

heen for several years an acceptable and

BOB FITzsIMMoNs TALKS.
He Declares He Was Drugged Dur
ing His Last Fight

NEW YORK. Jan. 3O-After resting
eight months under the stigma OF hat he
terms an undeserved defeat, Robert Fitz-
simmons now proclaims that he was drug
ged when be was whipped by James JEFF
fries for the championship of the world at
Coney Island last June.
Fitzsimmons says that the drug was
given him IN the water which he drank
during the early part Of the fight, and that
be has no recollection Of anything that
happened after he went out for the third
round He vaguely recalls asking his sec
Onds who it was that be was fighting with
but does not remember what answer they
gave him. He also has a faint recollec-
tion of hearing Julian tell him to stand up
during the tenth round.
For nearly two months after the fight
Fitzsimmons says he had great difficulty
in remembering the ordinary incidents OF
the day. Gadually he came to himself and
as he recovered he became more and more
convinced that he had met foul play. He
charges no particular person with drugging
him, contenting himself with the assertion
that when he does learn who was the in
stigator of the crime he win make certain
that the same person does not repeat the
operation.
The poison Fitzslmmons believes was
taken during the rest between the second
and third rounds, when he took a Ions
drink Of mineral water. Following that
have only hszy recollection Of one or two
incidents of the fight" he said.
John l.. Sullivan has declared ever sine,

was drugged that night, and many other
say he was not himself in the ring.

pany the grounds at a rental in advance OF
the rate previously paid.
Mr.. Hanlon failed to comply with the
conditions of this letter, and neither called
in person at the Office of the trustees nor
sent messenger, but sent a letter. which
was eceived during the afternoon of the
22d. which, as stated in an interview OF
DR.. Charles E. Sadtler one Of the trustees,
heretofore published, was neither rejec-
tion nor an acceptance of the terms offered
by the trustees.
After all this, on the 25th of January,
as heretofore stated, the trustees executed
a lease of the property to Mr.. peterson,
representing Mr.. McGraw and the promot-
ers of the new baseball association, who
are now, therefore, fully entitled to the
property for one year from the date OF
their lease. The trustees desire this state
ment of the facts to be made to prevent
possible misunderstanding. due to Mr.. Han
Ions public statements, that there has
been any partiality, other than in his own
favor, in the selection of tenants or that
they acted otherwise than in the interest
of their trust estate, without regard 10

There is no provision in the lease held
by the Exhibition Company relating TO the
removal of fixtures.

TROUBLE OVER A CORPSE.
A Body Held for Express Charges In
Pennsylvania.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 30.-Lawyer SEQ
vel, of Camden, representing Mrs. c. E.
Woodward, of New Egypt yesterday made
an effort to secure the body of George
Woodward, her son, which is held by the
station agent at New Egypt.
Mrs. Woodward is separated from her
husband, who is a prominent physician.
Their marital troubles were fully venti-
lated recently in the courts, when Dr.
Woodward was ordered TO pay his wife 81
a week alimony. Their son, George, who
went to Colorado Springs to regain his
health, died there. The doctor ordered the
remains embalmed, prepared for burial and
sent by express TO New Egypt.
When the body arrived on Friday he re-
fused to receive il or pay the express
charges OF S247. Mrs. Woodward then tried
to obtain the remains. The station agent
said he could not deliver the remains TO
Mrs. Woodward, as she was not the con-
signee.
Lawyer Scovel will invoke the aid of the
local board Of health If DR.. Woodward
does not consent to Mrs. Woodward OBJ
tanning possession of the body.

The LEAGUE WAGES War
Every Effort Being Made TO Block
the New Association.
An Attempt to Win Over McGraw by
Promising to Leave the Baltimores
i'm the Big Circuit-The Meaning OF
Earl Wagner,s DecIaratfOn-A Ten
Club Scheme Now Being Talked OF.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3o.-The National
League baseball men are said to be max
ing a desperate attempt to throw insur-
mountable obstacles in the path OF the
new American Association. Frank De
Haas Robson, President of the St Louis
club, who is the recognized emissary Of
the League circuit committee, has held
several long secret conferences in Balt-
more with III. r. Won der Horst and Ed
ward Hanlon, whose grounds have been
captured Unexpectedly by the new base
ball company. Robson has also conferred,
il is reported, with McGraw, which is evil
dence that the League is worried.
According to one of the League men who
is here, the plan of action is to win over
McGraw and his friends at any cost, even
il il becomes necessary TO abandon the
eight-club circuit, which has already been
provided for, and go on with ten clubs.
The League realizes that McGraw has
made his fight with the belief that Balti-
more would be forced into a minor organi-
zation, and that If they assure him that
his city will remain in the National
League, he and his hackers will renounce
the association without further delay.
McGraw so far has refused to listen to
a compromise, and says that Baltimore is
in the association to stay.
Several baseball men of experience who
have been watching this row from point
outside the breastworks say that the
7
schemers, are behind the leasing of the
Baltimore property. In fact, they assert
that the grounds have been leased directly
in the interest of the League as part of a
plan to compel the Brooklyn Baltimore
syndicate to consent TO an eight-club cir
cult without receiving a financial recon
pense, the idea being that without playing
ground the Baltimore team will not be
able to play out its schedule, and will thus
render itself liable TO expulsion.
AS further proof that the League has
decided to win back the Baltimore insur-
gents, j. Earl Wagner, the owner of the
Washington club. has announced that he
will not sell out at any price, and that the
League will begin the coming season with
| ten clubs Cleveland and Louisville having
| dropped out at last weeks conference
| Wagners declaration is undoubtedly IN
| tended to discourage the opposition move
ment in Washington and also create the
| impression at Baltimore that the circuit
cannot be reduced TO eight clubs.
| With McGraw out of the association, the
| League men believe that his hackers viii
| buy out the interests of Abell. Hanlon
| Won der Horst, and Ebbets at a reasonable
| figure. thereby doing away with the las
| vestige OF so-called syndicate ball.

His Life on the Transports En- Route

(From The London Naval and Military Reeord)
We hear much of the embarkaticn of
Tommy Atkins for the front, and also OF
his doiugs when arrived at the seat of war.
Rut between the two happenings there is
blank. How does he live on shipboard?
What does he do during his leisure mo-

There is a notion abroad that a soldier

He is a passenger inasmuch as he is an

for nine DAYS, and at the end of this period
will go back for nine days. This expert

On New Year Day there went into force IN
England an act for which female assistants are
already blessing Parliament. 1t provides that in
all rooms of shop where goods are actually re-
tailed to the public, and where female assistants
employed the employer shall provide seats
behind the counter or in other suitable positions,
and such seats shall be in proportion OF not less
than one seat TO every three female assistants en-
ployed. In connection with the act, it is little
strange however, that the House Of Lords refused
10 allow it to be applied to Scotland, and it was
never even suggested that its operation should be
extended to ireland.
