Join American League.
SPORTS IN GEN ER A L

A special from Los Angeles, Cal. says
of the Cincinnati base bali team. who has
been playing in that city this winter, left
for his home. in Fort Worth, Tex, last
Monday night.
1t is very likely that Steinfeldt will be
found with the Washington American
League team this season.
Sunday Steinfeldt received an offer from
James Manning, owner of that club which
he considers rather tempting. Manning
asked Steinfeldt to sign a contract calling
for $1,000. and that is considerable more
than he has been drawing from the Gin
cinnau club.
In speaking of the offer Steinfeldt said:
II will play with the Washington club
this year unless 1 should receive big in
crease from the Cincinnati club. I don't
want to play in Cincinnati again. In fact,
l had decided to remain in this city until
1 received this offer from Manning, which
made me change my mind / know Man
ming, and l understand that he Is a good
man to work for. The salary he has Of
fered me is satisfactory, and as soon as l
get home l will correspond with him and
get myself placed for this season. l am
though 1 could have gotten more salary
from another club in the league had been
able to get my release"
When asked about the American League,
Steinfeldt said that he had received a num-
Der of letters from National League play
ers telling him to get into the American
League band wagon. According to these
letters few of the league stars will re-
main with the senior organization this sea-
son.

American and National Leagues to
Fight to Finish.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis. March THE re-
port from the east once more that there Is
a prospect of peace between the National
and American Leagues is ridiculed by Pres
ident Killilea of the Milwaukee club. who
says: 'It is too late for compromise of
any kind now unless the National League
should want to back down completely, and
l do not suppose the magnates in that or
ganization would do 1t. In the first place
the National League would want back the
stars whom the American League has
secured from the major body, and that
would never be agreed to by our league.
Tne American League Is willing to have
each league recognize the others contracts,
etc, but will go no further.
THE National League had a chance to
forestall all the trouble last fall when the
National League met. President Johnson
was in the east and could have been in at
tendance at the meeting If the league peo-
pie desired, but he was passed by without
any recognition whatever. and now 1t Is
our turn. The National League would not
recognize the American in any way think
ing we would be forced to seek protection
under the national agreement and pay our
anything of the kind The National League
started first to tamper with players by try
ing to get Dick Padden away from Co

Kip Selbach. the former Senator, who

Columbus, Ohio, during the winter season,
has received a most fattering offer to play
with the new Beaneaters An agent of the
Boston club was in that city Monday and
offered Selbach So, 500 a year for three years
to play in the city of beans and culture.
Selbach likes Jimmy Collins. who is said
to be slated to manage and captain the new
Boston club, but he was we'll treated in
New York last season by Mr.. Freedman
and will not sign until he hears from the

Two Rival Leagues VIII Make Active
War This Season.

CHICAGO. March MANY more dates
conflicting with those of the National
League teams are promised in the Amerf-
can League schedule for the season now
being prepared by President Johnson. In
Chicago there will be clashes on several
more Sundays than last year and there will
be less care taken to avoid conflicts on
week days than last year, when the agree
ment with President Hart called for lin
tied number of opposing games. In the east
Boston and Philadelphia will be the scene
of more bitter fight between the leagues
schedules. 1t will be impossible to avoid
many conflicts, and others are contemplat-
ed by the American Leaguers as war meas
ureS.
The season. President johnson said last
night, will open April "a and close about
October 1. One hundred and forty games
will be played, and, since no Sunday games
are permitted in the east, the season will
be heightened to five and one-half months
Every western team will play Sunday
games at home, Cleveland having arranged
for the use of a park outside the city lin
Its for its games. Although not permitted
to play on Sunday in the east, the eastern
teams will play Sunday games in the west,
there being no owners in the league who
oppose Sunday games, as do few in the
National League.

The board of education has indicated its
policy in the matter of certain text books
containing alleged erroneous statements in
regard to events of the war of the rebel
lion. At last nights meeting of the board
1t was decided, on motion of Gen. Boynton,
that the study Of the chapters on the
civil war in the following histories now in
use in the public schools of the District
of Columbia be suspended until the errors
therein, in accordance with the publishers
agreements, are eliminated by the publish
ers, namely: Barnes Brief History of the
United States 'Montgomery's Leading
Facts in American History 'Johnstcn's
History of the United States for Schools
and 'McMaster's School History of the

The publishers of the histories mentioned
have been heard from, with one exception,
the publishers of Johnston's history. Those
heard from express desire to correct any
errors and remedy any defects shown to
exist in their publications. 1t was pointed
out, however. that it was difficult to obtain

A report was made by Mrs. West in re-

other grades, so that congestion might be
relieved about the school houses. On ac-
count of the heavy work falling upon prin-
cipals the report recommended that the
building principal have an assistant to take
charge of his room while the principal is
absent attending to duties pertaining to
supervision and discipline, and that availa-
BILE teachers receiving a salary of S425 be
assigned to these places.

manager HaniOn secures the WASH
ingtOn Boys Name to Contract.
Eugene DeMontreviIe concluded his ne
gouations with Manager Hanlon late yes
terday afternoon and placed his signature
to a Boston National League club contract
for the coming season. DeMontreville had
positively stated that he would not go to
Boston unless he received one-half Of the
money paid by Boston to Hanlon for his
release and 1t is more than probable that
this concession was made. Nothing could
be learned from either HanIon or Demon
trevile last night as to the terms, but a
rough guess would make the Washington
boys income next season fully So, 500.
After DeMontreviile had intimated that
he would like to play in this city, Manager
Manning opened negotiations with him. but
1.-The foxy boy from Baltimore doubtless
saw which way the wind was blowing and
probably signed the utility player at his
own terms. DeMontrevilfe would no doubt
have strengthened Mr.. Manning's team as
he is one of the best second basemen in the
business, but 1t Is a question whether he
would have been worth So 500 to the club
DeMontreville filled almost all the in and
outfield positions on the Brooklyn club last
season, and did exceptionally well in all
Of them. He Is a good hitter. base runner
| and fielder, and will do his best to fill the
big gap on the Boston team left vacant by
the desertion of that prince of third sack
! ers, Jimmy Collins Much as the local
fans would like to see DeMontreville in
! a senatorial uniform they cannot blame him
| for taking advantage of such big offer.
Manager Hanlon also gave out the news
yesterday that he had signed his one tinHe
| star pitcher Jimmy Hughes, for the Brook
| lyn team. Hughes did not play with the
| Brooklyn club last year. but remained at
| his home on the Pacific coast, where re-
| ports say. he received his bumps" quite
| frequently while twirling in the California
| League. Last years experience doubtless
| brought Hughes to realization that it
| would be better to be a good pitcher in
| the National League than an ordinary one
| in the California organization.
Lave Cross. the well-known third base
| man, who was with Brooklyn last year, is

veteran returns to the city that

| memories for thousands of followers of
| the game. Few men who ever wore a
| Philadelphia uniform maintained such a
] degree of popularity as Cross did for years,
