BASE BALL NOTES.

St Louis. Nov 23.-Advices were re- ceived here yesterday from South Me Alester I. T.. to the effect that Joe McGinnity, the pitcher. will play in St Louis next season if the Robinsons can effect his release by purchase from the Brooklyn. club. In the event of failure McGinnity will jump the league and play in Baltimore under the man. aggment of McGraw and Robinson. It is stated that McGinnity, having $G5. GOO invested in plough works at South AIcAlester, would prefer to play in this city because he could keep closer supervision over his Investments in the territory. In any event it can be confidently stated that if. McGin- nity plays in the league in 1901 it will be in this city.
 James Ryan. who was depOsGd from the captaincy of the Chicago base ball club and who it was reported would . retire from the game. speaks up as fol- lows: I T don't understand said Ryan, just where this retirement talk . originated. yIusee; in various reports thatf l.. am eff the books, crossed out, and slated for the shelf that I am worn put. on the ragged edge of play, and sure to be passed up by next April.

DANGER FOR REFEREE

Jimmy Barry. who weighs 1O3 pounds. is to referee the fight between heavyweights. Bill Robeson and Jim Bradley. at Chicago. Barry has gone into active training, and expects to be in good condition to announce a deciS- ion if one is required. The men are 200-pound sluggers, and the referee fears for his own safety if much ''breaking" is required. Each contest ant has confidently informed him that he will be ready to collect the winners end two minutes after the call of "get together" and Barry anticipates trou- ble for the man who gets between them

PROBABLE BIG MATCHES.

There certainly should be a num- Der of heavyweight championship bat ties in the spring. as there appears to be plenty of money in sight for purses
 Two matches-Jeffriss- Ruhlin and lief fries-Sharkey-have been made. and it is not improbable Uncle Fitzsimmons will get into the game before the flow CTS bloom again. Corbett is certainly willing and anxious to fight and he may compel recognition before he fin ishes with his rivals. So far as New Workers are concerned. the O'Rourke Q club projected for Bridgeport offers the best inducements. ry Rufnors of a renewal of boxing in New York city have been frequently circulated. but they at present lack basis for confir- nation It has been asserted that the republicans of the legislature will pass a new boxing law and control the sport. While this would be a back somersault for the men who killed the Horton law. on the ground of alleged brutality of boxing. yet if they do pass a law their inconsistency will be over looked by those who like the sport. The admirers of glove contests don care much who controls the sport, so long as they can see good bouts.

FOR PROTECTION FROM FIRE.
Citizens of Tnkoma Park Ask TO BE
Supplied with Hose.

The citizens OF Takoma Park have writ
ten TO the Commissioners requesting that
some action be taken by them toward pro-
viGing efficient facilities for the protection
of that portion Of the suburb within the
District from fire. George A. Warren, one
of the members OF the association, wrote
to the District authorities several days ago
urging them 10 take the matter under con-
sideration at their earliest convenience.
The association does not desire TO embar-
rass the Commissioners with needless re-
quests, MIR. Warren states, but they do
want to secure about 600 feet of fire hose
which can be attached to the fire hydrant
at the Park In case of fire, 1t being the
general opinion that such provision would
greatly aid In the protection Of the busi-
ness portion Of the village. as well as a
large number Of the residences.
The request was referred 10 Chief Paris,
of the Fire Department, for investigation,
and he reported that 1t would be desirable
to extend the water main to a point be-
tween the intersection OF Oak and Carroll
Streets. where fire hydrant could be
erected, which would be of considerable
advantage to the citizens in protecting
their property if they were supplied with
the hose as requested. Five hundred feet
of hose would reach almost every portion of
the suburb, Chief Paris stated.
Commissioner Wight transmitted the re-
port to the Engineer Commissioner in
wiling his attention and requesting his
opinion of the project TO extend the water
main. In endorsing the papers Mr.. Wight
stated that he approved the plans and
desired TO see II carried out If possible.

A DIVISION OF OPINION.
The Commissioners Disagree over an
Application to Display Goods.

Application has been made to the Com
missioners by II. !. Meader for permission
to hang poultry, beef, and other similar
produce in front of and within four feet
of the building on his premises at $50
Eighth Street southeast. He says he has
been Informed by the police that an order
has been issued by the Commissioners pro-
hibiting such display. The matter was
referred TO the Building Inspector. who re-
ported 10 the Engineer Commissioner that
a number OF similar applications have been
refused
Commissioner Beach stated that owing TO
the applications referred to by the Build
ing Inspector, he did not think 1t would be
advisable TO make exceptions in individual
cases. Further. the Commissioners stated,
the regulation of which Mr.. Meader COM
plains was drafted TO prohibit such dis
plays.
Commissioner Wight states that he IN
derstood that the regulation referred TO
applied only to the display of meats and
poultry on residence streets, and that 1t
did not apply to Louisiana Avenue and B
Street, in the vicinity OF the Centre Mar
ket, where such articles are displayed ev-
cry day. Mr.. Meader desires to display his
wares in business street, the Commits
sioner continues, and 1t is his opinion that
such permission as is necessary should be
granted. Mr. Wight further recommends
that the regulation shall be so amended as
not to interfere with the display of meats
and such al dcles on business streets.

THE COMPANY'S ANSWER.
Response Of the Metropolitan Rail-
why to Mrs. Letters Allegation.

The Netropolitan Railroad Company,
through its attorney, J. J. Darlington. yes
terday filed answer to the suit recently
brought against Il and its directors col
| lectiveiy by Mrs. Mary 7. Letter, asking
the court to enioin 1t from operating TIE
transfer system in practice, for receiver
to take charge of and operate the road, and
that the court sell the stock in 1t which
the Washington Traction and Electrical
Company claims TO own.
In her complaint Mrs. Letter alleged that
the Washington Traction and Electrical
Company was operating the Metropolitan
read in the interest of the suburban roads
which II owns, and that it was selling
tickets to patrons which were furnished
by the Washington Traction Company;
that IL was making power in the Me .ro-
politan Companys power house for the
use of the other roads and compelling TIE
maker TO pay an arbitrary price for lis
own power. Mrs. Letter also al.eg d t. at
she owned about $4,000 worth of tue
stock and certificates of Indebtedness of
the Metropolitan road and that her in
terests are adversely affected by the man.
Fer In which the business of the company
is being managed.
The answer of the Metropolitan road
sets forth that Mrs. Letter does Tot de-
sire to retain her stock in the Metropoli-
tan Company, as she states, but offered It
for sale to the syndicate st the rate OF
s24o per share, which was ten points above
market quotation at the time. 1t is stated
that the company would not pay this price,
and that she then Immediately demanded
1850 per share for the same stock. Again
the answer states this price was refused.
Then. Ii Is stated, Mrs. Letter instituted
the present proceedings and furnished the
defendants with a copy OF the complaint
she intended fling in the Supreme Court
of the District, and informed them, 1t is
stated. that the proceedings would not be
placed on record for few days. In the
meantime IL is said she Informed the de-
PENDANTS that her representative could be
seen. He was seen, II is alleged, but
when called upon asked $500 per share for
the stock she owned in the Metropolitan
Company. The defendant refusing to ray
this price for the stock, the complaint
asking for an injunction and a receiver
for the road was then flied.
After disposing of this phase of the case
the Metropolitan company denies that IL is
operated for the benefit of any other roads
or that the sale of tickets of any other road
was made. except for a period OF one week
in July last, when its own tickets were ex-
hausted. At that time two other roads, 1t
is stated, loaned the Metropolitan road
tickets, which il used until it could have
its own printed. II is also stated that the
Metropolitan road has not been charged
single dollar for its power and pays only its
actual cost while its surplus power is sold
TO other roads at profit of about so per
cent on the cost of generation. II also de-
MES that IL loaned its cars for the use of
other companies, except for rental.

FURNACES FINE REDUCED.
Judge KImball Lowers the Penalty
Assessed to 1900.

C. Maurice Smith, counsel for Joseph
C. Furnace, the young man who was fined
$3.50 by Judge Kimball on "Wednesday for
assaulting Gen. A. W. Greedy, appeared
in the Police Court yesterday and asked
that the fine be reduced to 800. The
court declined 10 do this. but consen ed,
at the suggestion of Assistant District At
torney Mullowny, to make It 5000.
A brother OF the prisoner. living In
Fort Monroe, appeared In court and said
that he had been able TO raise 800, but
If larger fine was imposed, he said. his
brother would have TO go to Jail. Judge
Kimball received letter from Gene. al
Greedy yesterday in which the General said
any reduction made in the fine OF Furnace
would be acceptable TO him. Judge Kim
ball did not construe this to mean that
General Greedy requested reduction OF
the sentence and he accordingly refused to
make it 800. Furnace will be compelled
to serve six months in Jail. less the TWEEN
ty-one days which have already been serv-
ed since. the assault was committed.
