gave as their reason for this action the
fact that they have now become club own

President Soden of the Boston club is as
phlegmatic as ever over the situation, but
is not at all enthusiastic over the intro
duction Of the American Association into
the present base ball imbroglio under the
auspices of the National League. He Is not
at all enthusiastic over the location OF the
association grounds over the Charles river
in Cambridge. and is free to admit that as
far as location Is concerned the American
League has the better of it by considerable.
The American Leagues policy Of eXpan-
sion may not have reached its limit even
after the invasion of Boston, Philadelphia
and Washington. Gus Koch, the Milwau-
kee promoter connected with the new Amer.

tive that the Milwaukee American League

fore the opening Of the season.

President Killilea of the Milwaukee club
has received the signed contract Of Fred
Raymer, who was the leading second base
man in the Western Association last year,
and who played a few games with the Mil
waukee team early in the season. Raymer
Is considered fast enough for any company,
and there promises to be some lively work
between the Milwaukee infieders for reg
ular positions on the team President Kill
lilea has received two offers from other
American League clubs for Raymer, but he
has declined to let him go, stating he ex
pected to have him on the team through
the season.

1t is an American League club at that. He

he Deases."
"McGinnity,' says the Baltimore Ameri-
can, counts much of his success to Robin
sons coaching and McGraws encourage
ment, and he is deeply grateful. On the
other hand, he thinks himself abused in
Brooklyn, where for winning pennant he
was given paltry few hundred dollars
Don't you remember that McGinnity sent
to Robbie and Mac for Christmas the silver
cup won by the Brooklyn team from the
Pittsburgs in the post-season series, ard
presented to McGinnity by the other mem
bers of the team? Well. that was just a
mark OF the sort of affection that will re-
suit In McGinnity pitching for Baltimore
next season.

A Confusion of Names.

The President has sent to the Senate a
report made by the geographic board upon
the spelling and pronunciation Of geographic
names In the Philippine Islands list OF
1900 coast places Is given. The board
says that the reason for the report is found
in the great lack of uniformity in spelling,
some places having both Spanish and Malay
names, and others names which attempts
have been made to anglicise. The board
has retained the spelling found on Official
Spanish charts.

Decrease in Cotton OIL Export.

United States Consul Skinner at Mar
settles has transmitted to the State Depart
ment statistics of the cotton oil trade at
that port, which show distinct loss in
the quantity of American cotton oil import
ed into France, as compared with the
three years previous. The prices, however
show an increase, amounting to So IS per
every 900. 46 pounds. The diminution in
quantity is attributed In some measure to
the increased importations of oleaginous
seeds. The Importation of American cot
ton oil has decreased from 269, 1O6 barrels
in 1899 to but 1S5, 515 barrels last year.

Scheduled for decision at 100 pigeons, only

Mr.. Painter, showed anything like his form.
At the conclusion Of yesterdays shooting
DR.. Wilson was in the van, with total or
forty-one kills and four misses. Harold
Money held down Jointly with c. A. Painter
second place, each showing forty as the re-
suit of their days work. The next best score
was that of Harry Kirkover with but
seven misses, he being closely attended by
Dan Bradley. who erased fifty straight
last year. and Col. Martin, who had marks
of thirty-seven and thirty-six, respectively.
Among both spectators and competitors
alike it was the consensus of opinion that
never were birds fast. those released be-
Ing aided In their natural speed by the
strong wind which swept across the grounds
from the northwest. making the flyers most
1y drivers and quarterers.
Because of the adverse conditions the
referee suspended the rule which requires
that a competitor should drop out of the
race after missing ten out of fifty birds.
