COMING TO BENN|NG
McLaughlin's String Expect
ed This Evening.
OUTLOOK FOR BASE BALL
SIX-DAY RACERS STARTED THIS
MORNING.
Players Protective Association OPP
poses New Association of Minor
Leagues on the Reserve Clause.

With the worst of the winter weather
still to be expected. there is uncommon and
seemingly unreasonable activity on num-
Der of the metropolitan race tracks, in
preparation for the coming turf year. The
moving up of the date for the opening Of
the Washington meeting, however. has
compelled horsemen to stir themselves, and
the first indication of the near approach of
rac.ag is in the movement of the stables
that will race early to Washington. The
Benning meeting this season is scheduled
to begin March %, and as the chances
are much against weather that will per-
nit of steady training on the New York
tracks between now and that time a num-
Der of the establishments that are to open
the ca mpaign at the local course will be
sent on to Bepnipg, there to complete their
preparations for racing. For New York
the winter has been comparatively an open
one, and six weeks of time at Benning to
put on the finishing touches will be ample,
even for the horses that were wntered in
the metropolitan district
The first important establishment to leave
New York for the Benning track started
today, in the string of James Mclaughlin,
the eN-jockey. who Will bring twenty head,
about half that number consisting of two
year-Ods. The Mclaughlin stable has been
at the Norris Park track, and a section of
the establishment will be left there. while
the more forward horses will race at Ben
ming. In the lot shipped today are most
of the horses OF o. l.. Richards, Mrs. l..
Curtis and a smart lot of two-year-ods who
will run in McLaushlin's colors. More
horses than usual are wintering at Ben
ming, and the moving of the Mclaughlin
stable has brought out the fact that even
at this early date horse owners who want
Stable room had best lose no time in ap-
plying for 1t. The smaller stables, COM
prising from two to a half-dozen horses
each that already have arranged to come
to Washington to finish training will fill a
bjsyp ar of ho tlabl n foIl
the certainty of plenty of material for rae
ing gives remarkable promise for the sport
at the first meeting Of the eastern racing
year.
The racing associations of the east also
have begun to stir themselves unusually
early. At Benning many improvements are
to be completed on the new grand stand,
which was put to in a half-finished
state last fall. On the New York tracks
changes of character that will make great
improvement in appearance and convent
ence nave been ordered on all the tracks,
as the result of the era Of prosperity last
season and the great promise of 1902.

BALTIMoREANs AGAIN LOSE.
CAROLS Won Three Straight From the
Catholic Club.

Another crack bowling team of Balti-
more visited Washington Saturday evening
and like its predecessors returned home
defeated. This visiting aggregation repre-
scented the Baltimore Catholic Club and
came over to Washington to play the Car
roll Institute. The latter organization has
been flying very high this season in the
bowling world and to keep up this position
administered three straight defeats to the
Baltimoreans. The first game was easy
SS3 to ia. the second game more interest
ing, 500 to $40. while the third was bowled
in hgff class form by both teams but fur
nshed a third victory for the CAROLS by
the score of S83 to 1914. Howard of the Car
rolls captured the evenings best average
and also top score honors. His rolling av-
eraged 191, while his best figures were 213.
Harlow of the same team came next with
an average of $50. Smith bowled in place
of Merritt and did well, his score of 2o5 in
the last game being second on the evening.
The visiting team boWled well together,
but there was nothing done individually
worthy of notice, Wheeler leading the Wis
uorS in average score.

MANAGER COLLINS IN CHICAGO
Boston Man Thinks Washington Has
Chance for First Honors.

Jimmy Collins, manager of the Boston
American League base ball team, was In
Chicago yesterday after players. He went
to the city late Saturday afternoon. and
met Henry kisltlea, the new owner of the
Boston club. The two held long consulta-
ton and arranged all OF the plans for the
season Those players who have been
signed already by Collins were ratified by
killilea, and the Milwaukee magnate gave
his manager power to go ahead and get
some more players.
There was no hitch between Kililea and
Collins. At one time 1t was reported that
Killilea preferred Hugh Duffy as manager
of the Boston team, but this report proved
to be wrong. When the magnate and the
manager met killiiea told Collins that he
wanted him for his right hand man in Bos-
ton. and in half an hour everything was ar
ranged with perfect satisfaction to both
Collins says that he is sure there is some
good base ball material around Chicago
and before he goes back east he will have
signed some of 1t. He would not say that
he is after any of the men who are signed
by the Chicago National League club, and
President Johnson declared that none of
these men would be approached by the
American League managers.
There is nothing like developing lot Of
new base ball players said Collins "Of
course, many times you get nothing for
your labor, but when you do strike a star
ne is usually one that repays you for eyery-
thlng you have done. There must be some

HAWAIIAN PUBLIC LANDS.
Decision Regarding Wording of Title
by Secretary of the Interior.

The Secretary Of the Interior has rem
dered decision governing the exchange
of public lands in Hawaii for private lands
under the public land laws continued in
force by Congress. The department decides
that where public lands In Hawaii are dis
posed of by exchange the title TO the lands
received in exchange should be taken in the
name of the territory of Hawaii whenever
they are acquired for a local public pur-
pose, such right of way for railroads or
sites for parks or county court houses.
Where the lands received In exchange are
not acquired for public purposes. but are
to constitution part of the public domain,
the title should be taken in the name of ths
United States and the lands be disposed Of
under the public land laws.

WINTER BOOK.
Betting on Brooklyn and Suburban
Handicaps.

A Chicago bookmaker has opened up a
future book on the Suburban and Brooklyn
handicap.
His estimate of the qualities Of the
several contestants Is that James 3.
Haggan's great colt, Watercolor, is entitled
to the honor of being the favorite for the
Suburban. In this he shares the belief Of
the Handicapped, Vosburgh. who assigned
top weight to Watercolor.
In regard to Banastar who shares with
Watercolor the post of top weight, the
'bookie' differs with Mr.. Vosburgh. He is
not willing to lay more than to l against
Wateroolor's chance. but is willing to lay
Is to l against Banastar. Next in favor is
Blues, at 10 to l; Gold Heels and Bonnibert
at II to l each, and Alcedo, who won the
race last year, at Is to l.
The bookmaker evidently believes that w.
c. Whitneys Ballyhoo Bey has little or no
chance to win. as he has offered so to 1
against him. This price Is significant Of
Ballyhoo Beys physical condition at pres
ent. When a bookmaker lays long price
against a horse of Ballyhoo Bey's high
quality he is usually aware of something
that will keep that horse from winning.

BALL PLAYERS FIRM.
Take Determined Stand Against the
New Minor League Association.

The objection of the Players Protective
Association to the Minor League Associa-
tioE has eliminated In a circular letter
winch has been sent to all the members
calling their attention to the newly organ
lzed National Association Of Minor Leagues.
The letter sets forth all the objections to
the combine. 1t bears the signatures of
President Tom p. Daily, Secretary Dale D.
Gear and Lave Cross, James Mcclure and
+. a. Jones of the grievance committed
The letter in full follows:
To Our Members: 1t is the duty of every
member of our union, and every base ball
player as well, to his best influence to
defeat the unjust fine that the Associa ton
of Minor Leagues proposes to place upon
players in It's leagues who dare to better
themselves financially by ignoring the re-
serve clause in contracts.
Should this compact of minor leagues be
successfully carried out in a very short
time compact of all leagues will be
entered into. and all players of both major
and minor leagues will be victims Of I'M
just and outrageous base ball laws In
that event the Players Protective Asso-
citation will be thing of the past and the
individual players will be right back where
they were two years ago, working for less
money and under the old form of con-
tracts.
The services of professional base ball
player should be on an open market, the
same as those employed in other walks of
business life, and our members should adj
wise and use their influence toward getting
players in general to sign only one year
contracts. without the reserve clause. and
in the league where they can get the best
money and the fairest contracts. This
agreement of the Minor League Assoca-
ton Is direct blow at and is made pur-
poSely to destroy the good work of the
Players Protective Association, and each
and every member. for his own personal
benefit, and in order to preserve the union,
should use every means at his command
to defeat this minor league agreement.

and advise them. In this way they Will
become familiar with the subject, and
when a meeting is held can act with con-
tidence and knowledge"

Spinnerian Clerks.

Spinnerian Clerks.
at has been the fashion for some time,
especially in one of our Sunday papers,
to gibe at 'Sprnerian' clerks and charge
them with all sorts of silly performances,
while the smart young man in the cast Is
a pattern of excellence and downtrodden
virtue. Now, in the redemption division
where unless / am mistaken, the most OF
General Spinner's remaining clerks are.
I may say-and l think the chief will bear
me out-that they are noted for their
faithfulness, efficiency and strict atten-
ton to duty.
THE treasurer's office aims to keep its
work up to date and. whe it is neces-
sary, there is no attention paid to regular
hours We have, for six weeks at a
stretch gone back to the Office and worked
three hours at night; have worked for
months till five, when other offices Gloss

AS to Sick Leave.
Then as to sickness. In the first place
I notice that the gentlemen in our division
are in nowise exempt from the ills which
human flesh is heir to; probably because
the conditions affect them precisely as they
do the old lady clerks Our rooms are
below the surface of the surrounding
grounds. and so situated that the sun does
not reach them to any extent, which causes
the walls to have Vault-like clamminess
most of the time. The natural consequence
is that rheumatism in some form comes
sooner or later to most of u.s. and is incon-
siderate enough to, at times, lay us low
Then there is no way provided for ventilat-
ing the rooms, except the primitive one of
opening the windows. This is done four
times day-in the morning, from till
$50, and for five minutes a 1890, 12:40 and
2:30. Now, suppose yourself sitting busily
at work, when down come the windows and

per day for. say, six months, and then let
me have your opinion anent sick leave

enough to go to a better world by the way
of pneumonia, several of our misguided
fellow-workers did.
"Oh, yes. 1t does not require an abnor-
mai amount of wisdom or courage to sheer
at mere workers and Grass ignorance is an
adept at the art; at least that is my opin-
ion."
