INTERCITY GOLF MATCH.
Washington Players to Meet Philadel-
phians on Saturday.

Some time since the secretary of the AS
ISOLATED Golf Clubs Of Philadelphia opened
communication with the different Wash
ington clubs, looking to an intercity
match, and all the details therefor have
finally been arranged. The Philadelphia
golfers have notified the Washington clubs
that they will take care Of as many of the
local players who care to take the trip.
The match will be played in PHILADELPHIA
Saturday. and it is possible that between
ten and twenty of the Washington players
will take part, all the different local clubs
being represented

as they overthrow the crack Chevy Chase
aggregation, but the game of golf is so UNI
certain that should they weaken their
team defeat might come their way For
TINS reason at least six of Columbia's best
men will go against Dumbarton Saturday,
but there will still be quite a good-sized
number from the club who will make the
Journey to Philadelphia. Chevy Chase, it
Is expected, will have majority of the
players on the team against the Quaker
city organization, and good game should
result
The Philadelphia players are classed as
about the best in the country. and any
thing ike good score against them will
be a feather in the cap of the Washington
players. The crack New York aggregation
recently went to Philadelphia for a match

t9uakers, feat that certainly entities the
latter to all the praises sung in their be-

NATIONAL LEAGUE MEETING.
ALI the Magnates in Harmony Over
the Financial Question.

Through the action of the National
League taken at it's special meeting yes
terday, held in New York, the New York
club has two defeats taken from it's string
and the Chicago club has two victories less.
The magnates were in session for several
hours, and after adjournment John It.
Brush. chairman of the board of control,
made the following announcement:
In the appeal of the New York club ask
ing that the games played at Chicago May
Z and be forfeited to the New York club
because of a willful violation of rule 3 Of
the playing rules, this board after careful
investigation eXonerates the Chicago club
from any attempt to gain an unfair ad-
vantage in the location of the pitchers

This board finds that said games were
not legally played and directs that they be
considered as not played and orders them
to be played as foilows-one game on July
and the other game on August 10.

DREYFUSS CONFIDENT.
Willing to Play the Pirates Against
American League Champions.


A special from Philadelphia says that
Barney Dreyfuss of the Pittsburg club
grows happier the farther away his club
runs from the others in the National League
race At the Phillies' grounds yesterday
was all smiles. He thinks his club the ban
ner thing on the base ball map.
TN tell you what I'll do said Barney,
Il will wager 5000 on a series of ten
games between the Pittsburg team, if 1t
wins the pennant, and the winner Of the
American League championship.
I'VE will play the winning team or a
picked team, but probably a regular team
would play better ball. 1 think ten games
would be a fair number to play, five games
in each city"
When Manager Connie Mack of the Ath-
letics was asked last night what he thought
of Mr.. DreyfuSS def, he smiled his blandeSt
smile, and said:
Barney is one of the incest fellows in
the business, and one of the very few mag
mates connected with the National League
that possesses the slightest remnant of the
true spirit of craftsmanship. He has a
splendid team. 1t is really shame that
it is not a member of the major league.
On the level. think it would have a fight
ing chance to break into the first division
in the American League. But when he
talks about betting 5000 that it could beat
the winner of the American League pen
nant, he talks a good deal like a crow per-
forms its ablutions-at random. The fact
that he has everything beaten way off in
the National League has affected his vision.
He is looking through the inverted end Of
the glass.
The American League race is too close
for any one to predict with any degree Of
accuracy which of the leaders will capture
the coveted bunting-in fact, there is not a
club in the league that is out of the run
ming. We're going to be thar or thar
abouts' at the finish, but whether we win
the flag or not, there is nothing that would
give me more genuine pleasure than play
ing a series Of games with Pittsburg as
Mr. Dreyfuss suggests"
