dispute over a fine, hat each party have
a representative, who shall choose a
third member, the decision to be made
inside of ten days. 1t is altogether
probable that he first two propositions
will be granted by the league, but the
third may have to be nodded as to the
limit of time, as ten days is very short
in which to collect evidence and look
into case. 1t is reported that Presi-
dent Soden, of the Boston National
league club, will stand up for the play
ers and their lights.
Pittsburg Club Changes Hands.
There has been a report out for some
time that several members of the board
of directors of the Pittsburg club were
in favor of getting rid of President
Barney DreyfuSs, and it has been
known for some time that everything
has not been running smoothly in the
Smoke town. But Monday President
Dreyfuss got in mis- work, and the in
| terest held by Messrs. w. w. Kerr, p.
L. Auten, John X. and j. w. Tener.
was purchased by w. K. Sckeepf, Bar
Pulliam and an attorney from New
Jersey. The new owners met soon
after the deal was closed, and elected
Barney Dreyfuss president, Schoepf
vice president, and Harry Pulliam sec
rotary and treasurer. The price paid
the MessrS. Tener, Kerr and Auten was
$66, 125. They owned 525 shares, which
at par. would be worth $52,500. The
Pittsburg trouble is thus cleared up.
There is being another effort made to
form bowling club in Ell Paso. Such
d move will be learned with delight by
the two clubs now formed who bowl
once every week. The young men who
are working up the new club state that
they are getting long fairly well and
hope to have the organization COM
pleted within another week, and after a
short time spent in practice will chall-
enge the other two clubs. The bowling
alleys are owned by the German Bowl
ing club and are located at the corner
of Santa Fe and Second streets, and are
in first-class condition. Bowling is
great game in the east and there are
some good bowlers in the city who have
not bowled for several years but who
feel confident that with few weeks
practice they would be able to roll
some good scores.
