FREEDMAN SELLS OUT.
John T. Bush Gains Controlling Inter
est in New York Club

Andrew Freedman severed his active con-
nection with National League base ball and
the controlling interest in the New York
base ball club has passed into the hands of
John T. Brush, former owner of the Gin
cinnati team. Mr.. Freedman will remain
president of the club until the next annual
meeting Of the company. when Mr.. Brush
will succeed him. While Mr. Freedman
may retain a certain amount of stock in the
club for some time to come. he has entirely
withdrawn from active participation In Ma
tional League councils.
The announcement of the sale of the club
and Mr.. Freedman's Withdraw wal from base
pail came as surprise when 1t was taken
INTO consideration that by dint of the hard
est sort OF lighting Mr.. Freedman became
the absolute master of the National League
within the past year. No one apparently
ton to quit base ball until he made the an
nouncement personally at the headuuar-
tiers of the National League in New York
last night. Word had been sent out tn
there would be important news but nobody
knew what 1t would be. After a short YER
bal statement Mr.. Freedman gave a type-
written one, in which he gave the reason
for his retirement in these words:
ION account of my many business inter-
ests, l have found that l have been unable
to devote the necessary amount of time to
the club
In the remainder of the document Mr.
Freedman congratulates Mr.. Brush and the
New York base ball club in passing into his
hands, and ends with the statement that a
successful season has just ended and that
the financial condition of the club Is good.

BOWLING SEASON OPENS
Bank Clerks and Departmental Leagues
PLAY Initial Game.

The local bowling season got away with
a rush last night, when two of the new
leagues played their opening matches. The
contests occurred at the Palace alleys. and
the large auditorium was filled to its ca
pacity with friends Of the various PLAYERS
and with bowling enthusiasts generally. To
the pioneer bowlers in this city, the men
who have fostered he game for the past
ten years and have hoped for some such
awakening as was witnessed last night. it
was a great occasion, and there is every
evidence that Washington is about to be-
come prominent bowling center
The matches last night were between the
Census and Treasury teams In the De-
partmental League and between the Metro
politan and Columbia National banks in the
Bank Clerks League. The scores made
were not large, but large scores were not
expected for most of the players are men
who have but recently taken up the game,
Deyo of the Treasury five was the only
player who had previously figured In the
game. he being old Columbia Athletic
Club bowler. But the work of all of the
men gave promise of good results In the
matches that are to follow throughout the
next seven months, and it is safe promo
sition that much fine material will be de-
veloped
