bowling was OF the ordinary class, the little
excitement furnished coming from the first
game. when the Fat Men won out by
solitary pin. The two victories of the
Saengerbunds were Of a more pronounced
order, the margin between winner and loser
being quite wide.
The bowling of Speiss Of the Saengers
was the best of the evening, his best work
being done In tight places when the pins
were needed. A rather unique record was
that of Burdine of the Saengers, who
scored 1888 pins in each Of the three games

Mrs. Ida L. McLaren of Waterbury, Nd.

incorrectly entered on the plats. and she
therefore asked for refund of overpay-

the surveyor. everything Is apparently

The surveyor says he can account for
this in only one way. A map Is on file in
his office showing q position of Taylor
street quite different from Its present and
recorded position. This map was made in
1871 and was not followed as to Taylor
street in the record Of Uniontown. made in
1873, and which, in his opinion, must gov

says. 1t will be seen that by moving up the

Big Days Work at Its First Session
Yesterday.
BAN JOHNSON IN ABSOLUTE CONTROL
Schedule Will Give Each Club 140
Games to Play.
SPORTS IN GEN E R A l.

One of the best pieces Of Information that
came from the American League meeting
in Chicago yesterday, through the special
to last evenings Star. was the fact that
Manager Jimmy Manning has already
signed eight of his players for next season.
Who these players are is not known yet.
but will probably be given out as soon as
the circumstances warrant. Considerable
secrecy will have to be maintained until
all the clubs have signed the required four
teen men. and then the players for the diff
ferent eight clubs will probably be made
public. 1t Is more than an even chance
that when these names are given out, they
will create sensation in the base ball
world.
All the American League managers have
been busy for the past month signing play
ers. and that they have made inroads into
the National League is one of the posi-
bilities. The American League magnates
have promised to keep their hands off Ma
tional League players, but as the latter has
been making. overtures to men belonging
to the former organization, 1t Is more than
likely that Ban johnson and his followers
have adopted protective measures.
Players for Warrington.
Manager Manning's pitching force is re-
puted to be a very strong one, and OF the
eight men signed 1t Is to be hoped that
five of them are box artists. Outside the
twirlers. there are First Baseman Everett,
Shortstop Clingman. Third Baseman
Coughlin and Fielders O'Brien and Hemp
hill. The latter is ST. Louis farm
hand but 1t is more than probable he will
be retained under Manning's leadership.
At last nights session Of the American
League In Chicago. the greater part of the
time was occupied by the drafting OF
new constitution to cover the new ten
years agreement and its provisions for
in the hands of the league itself. Each
club has deposited with President John
son, to be held In trust, the leases Of it's
plants and 81 per cent OF Its capital stock.
together with an option at a uniform
price on the plant and franchise. which
will not only prevent desertion but will
give the league the right to buy any
franchise should club at any time de-
sire to sell and the prospective pur-
chasers were not considered desirable.
were appointed committee rules and
Chicago, Milwaukee, Baltimore and Wash
ington will be represented on the board OF
directors.
The championship season will include $40
games, but the date Of the opening OF the
season was not announced. out Of courtesy
to the National League, doubtless.
1t was also resolved to limit the number
of players that may be under contract to
one club during the season of 1901 to four
teen, this rule to go into effect two weeks
after the opening of the championship sea-
son.
Clark Griffith. pitcher Of the Chicago
club, and one of the most active workers
In the ball payers movement. presented a
proposition to furnish the official ball of
the league. 1t was received and will take
Its chances along with several others which
have been received by Johnson.
