BASEBALL IN WASHINGTON.
An Arrangement with the Eastern
League Unlikely.

Some new and possibly startling develop
ments will be sprung upon the public at
the spring schedule meeting of the Ma
tional League. which will convene carly
in April Having heard from their con-
stituents. the magnates will most likely
try to hedge or modify their shortsghted
policy which has been denounced by the
press and people of the country. Just
what they can do to rehSbilitate them
selves into the good graces of the friends
of the game. or whether they can do any
thing in that direction, is not now APP
parent. 1t will require time and chart
table memory to erase from the minds of
baseball lovers the harm that these gentle
men have so cunningly and sefishly in
fiicted on the national sport.
The reduction of League membership
whereby such cities as Washington and
Baltimore, with their large and enthusiast
tic clientele were abandoned, is one of the
most grievous wrongs effected by their
egregious and mbecile acts of legislation
Of course, it is too late row to correct this
blunder. and SO far as National League ball
is concerned, these cities will not be rep
resented and the fans must be content with
promises for more favorable condition of
affairs in the future
The effort TO induce President Powers of
the Eastern League, TO establish CLUBS IN
Baltimore and Washington has thus far,
and probably will remain an improbability.
This scheme was only intended by the
League magnates as a ruse To keep alive
the interest in the sport and 10 divert the
minds of the people from the indignity Of
fered them, as well as to protect valuable
territory. And as Mr.. Powers and his as
sociates. who are clever business men, are
not inclined to make any financial invest
ments of an exceedingly doubtful charac-
ter. the probabilities now are that these
cities Will not be represented in any regu-
lar organization. Most certainly not, I'M
less more fair and favorable terms are Of
fered to the Eastern League people.
So far as the people of Washington are
concerned. they would prefer TO be entirely
abandoned than to pay tribute TO inferior
clubs
Another meeting, appointed for next
Thursday. has been called, when final
tion will be taken with reference 10 the
Eastern League problem. The situation is
becoming painfully monotonous

ASSAULTED BY A NEGRO.
4 Beiair. Nd Woman'r Desperate
Struggle " 18th an AssaiIant.

W TN IN ShtHlIahI.
BELAIR, Md. March 25.-Thls section OF
Hartford County is again in a ferment
over an atrocious assault upon a white
woman by negro. Only few weeks ago
Miss Jennie Bradford was outraged by
William Black. colored, near Aberdeen
The feeling over this affair had hardly
died out when another outrage of similar
character occurred.
The victim in this instance Is Miss An
ME McIlvain, a respectable white woman
a little over fifty years OF age. She has
for some time been living alone near the
railroad depot in this city. In telling of
the assault Miss McIlvain states that she
was awakened about o'clock this morn
ing by a knock on the door. In response
to her queries she was told that someone
i'll with the toothache wanted some medi-
cine When she went to the door in her
night dress she was dragged outside and
thrown TO the ground. She struggled va
liantly with her assailant, at the same
time screaming at the top Of her voice.
The negro had almost choked her into
insensibiity when a colored man named
Jackson, attracted by her cries. came upon
the scene with a gun. The other negro
ran and escaped. a shot being fired at him.
When Miss Mcllvain recoyered she went
to the nome OF SherlH hlnhart Nhere sne
was taken care of. The assaiiant left be-
hind a light SLOUGH hat. which was recog
nized as belonging to Lewis Harris, col
ored He was taken into custody and
locked up in Jail. While he denies knowl-
edge OF the crime, 1t was discovered that
his clothing was soiled and his thumb
lacerated where Miss McIlvain bill him
during the struggle.
The sheriff is prepared TO take his pris-
oner to Baltimore should there be any
signs of l.'nching.

THE GEORGETOWN NINE.

AGRICULTURAL College.

Weather conditions have interfered with
baseball practice at Georgetown, but now
that the frost is out Of the ground Coach
Bradley and Capt Tommy Downs are
working the men with tireless energy. 1t
would be much to expect of Georgetown TO
place another team in the field equsling
the famous all-conquering nine of last
year. but thus far the experts at the col
lege are firm in the belief that the 1900
material is even more promising than was
that of 1899
The first opportunity 10 observe the work
of the team will be given next Wednesday,
when the Maryland Agricultural College
nine will oppose the local university.
Maryland has always been strong in the
early part of the season, and the students
and coaches will gauge the years prospect
largely on the results of this game. Man

A Peep Al The RUNNERS
Many Visitors TO Benning Yesterday
to See the Horses GaI!Op.
Some Fairly Fast WorI,-Boncy hoy
i'm Fine Form for the Spring Han
From New OrIenns-BriGbt Pros
poets for the Meeting Next Week.

The raw, chilling weather yesterday did
not deter good crowd of people from go
ing out to the track of the Washington
Jockey Club at Benning TO witness the
horses training for the spring meeting,
which opens one week from today, perform
some fairly fast work.
All of the horses looked forward, and
in a majority of cases within few final
peeps of a race They are looking remark
ably well. notably those of James Nc
Laughlin. W. Z. Burch. Gwynn Tompkins
Cahll & Anderson, and PA" Bradley
There are so many horses quartered at
the track now and so many to arrive. that
the public may be assured of largeSields
and well contested races.
The fastest work so far is attributed TO
Pa Bradleys Boney Boy, sired by the iron
horse Bitten, and it is the general opin-
ion that if the Benning Spring Handicap,
for which he is entered. was to be run to-
day ne would win it. If work is the one
thing necessary TO fit horse for a race
Bradleys horses ought to be fit. Some
trainers are so unkind as to say that
the only rest his horses get is when they
are on the cars, but all admit that Boney
Boy is good horse just now. There are
other good ones in the handicap, however,
and il will not be a one-horse race by any
means.
The track is in splendid shape The
jumps on the steeplechase course have all
been rebuilt and everything looks ready
for the meeting
With the finish Of the sixth race on Sat
urday the most successful meeting in the
history of New Orleans was closed. The
scene will next shift to Little Rock Ark.
which will throw open its gates for six
day meeting. commencing today. A num-
Der OF the New Orleans horses will ship
direct o Little Rock but-the greater por-
tion AMI the best will come TO Benning ar
irving here tomorrow. The horses coming
here to compete at the spring meeting have
had many wins TO their credit, and include
such good ones as Sidney Lucas. Trillo.
Kilt, Belle of Orleans. Aratoma FleurOn
Strangest. Compensation Prince of Verona
Hurricane and also the best two-year-olds
Of the year so far-Choice Plead Sad Sam
Blink. Anxious, Wild Pirate. Fred Hanlon
and Sempire. The horses above mentioned
are manytime winners at New Orleans and
should be hard hcrses to beat at Benning.
as they are seasoned, fit. and ready TO 90
any distance.
w. NJ. Henderson, of Savannah. Ga, has
arrived at Benning with string of nine
horses, mostly three and two-year- olds.
They will be trained by Mr. Kelly we'll

COLLEGE GIRLS EscAPADE.
A Midnight Initiation Goes Wrong at
Western Seminary.

OXFORD. Ohio March 25.-An initiation
In a cemetery vault, between 3 and in
the morning, hard cider and cigarettes
caused the suspension Of thirteen young
women students Of the Western Seminary
for Girls. All are members Of society
known as Alpha Tau" which has existed
for several years contrary TO the rules of
the institution.
Miss Lele Mckee, the head Of the school.
refused to talk about the affair. She
would not confirm or deny rhe stories OF
cigarettes and cider Their motto was
Die Game" For some time the faculty
has suspected the existence of the fra
ternity," but was unable to catch the Of
Tending ones.
Last Friday night an initiation was
planned Members of the faculty suspect
ed something wrong, and during the night
a search for the girls was made. Their
rooms were vacant, and tracks in the light
snow led TO cemetery vault. where the
girls were surprised. They escaped through
a basement window. In the girls rooms it
is said cigarette boxes were found.
Suspension was decided on. Some say
the girls were expelled. but they deny this.
One, who was suspended. got a hint not
to come back last winter She ran away
from the school one Sunday, and, with four
other girls. visited some Miami University
boys. For this reason her suspension now
means expulsion.
The girls deny that they had cigarettes
and hard cider O'Toole, the grave digger,
says the girls often came 20 the cemetery,
and this week he found masks scattered
about indicating flight on the part of the
girls The vault is always open, and the
road from the school to the cemetery is
dark and rough.
When the sentence was read before
school yesterday. wailings and lamenta-
tions went up. Fathers pleaded for their
daughters. But the faculty was ineyorable.
Western Seminary is one OF the oldest in
Ohio and has graduates in most cities of
the country.

LEWIS j. YEAGER'S CASE.
His Appeal Likely to BE Disposed of
During the Coming Week.

1t is probable that the appeal of Attor-
ney Lewis J. Yeager, convicted of viola
tion OF the age of consent law, will be dis
posed OF In the Court of Appeals for the
District during the coming week. Yeager
was convicted in Criminal Court No /
last fall and sentenced by Justice Cla-
baugh TO imprisonment In the penitentiary
for a term OF twelve years. His victim
was Edith Schnebel. the fourteen-year-
daughter of one of Yeager's clients.
The defendant for a defense made the
plea that his victim, who was the principal
witness for the prosecution, was a party
to the crime, knowingly and with full con-
sent, and therefore the law had not been
violated. 1t was also claimed that the
date upon which the crime was alleged TO
have been committed had not been set
forth, and for this reason the defendant
should not have been convicted On these
grounds the case was taken TO the Court
OF Appeals. Since his conviction Yeager
has been confined in the District jail
awaiting the result OF his appeal.
