Admits Having Conferences With
Rogers Over Purchase Of PhilHes.
President Dreyfuss Of the Pittsburg Bali
Club returned to Pittsburg yesterday from
New York. OF course he was we'll pleased
with the way things turned out at the Ma
tional League meeting, even IL at the
roundup he did lose his secretary who was
much closer to him than q mere employee
generally Is to an employer.
= Regarding the stories which have been
printed for the last two days, which had
President Dreyfuss buying out the Phiaa-
delphia National League Club the Pirates
owner said he had not stopped or in Qua
kertown. That was all he would say.
though he did confess to having had con-
versation on the subject with Col. Rogers
In New York.
Dreyfuss says that Col Rogers anger
over his club being scheduled to play sun
day games Is not assumed to smooth over
matters. but Is real. as he is and always
has been opposed to Sunday ball
On the matter of the peace commission
Mr. Dreyfuss did not care to talk, other
than to say that this was the chance for
the American League to show that 1t was
sincere In Its cry for an end to base bail
war. 1t was an interview by Ban Johnson
In which he claimed that the American
League was out for peace, that brought
about the negotiations and Mr. Dreyfuss
has no doubt as to The sincerity Of the Ma
tional League in the matter.

For the second time during the meeting a

Rowdy G. was unable to keep his feet In

fell in heap. LIE Blanc will not be able
to ride for at least two months, as his
fracture Is serious.
The stewards decided to suspend Jockey
Hicks indefinitely pending an investigation,
and notified Secretary Clark to that effect
After the last race the officials called Hicks
into the stand and questioned him as to his
recent rides on LatsOn. War Cry and Moa-
bina. His horsemanshfp on all three was so
erratic that 1t aroused suspicion. Hicks
replies were evidently unsatisfactory as
the stewards suspended him. They also
suspended the FLY Moabina and her own

Inheritance Law Decision.

The New York court Of appeals has
handed down an opinion holding that the
shares OF stock which George Jones. part
owner Of the New York Times, held in the
joint stock association which published
that paper are taxable under the inherit
ance tax laws as personal property. The
court Of appeals says:
1.-THE fact that joint stock association
is not In legal contemplation corporation.
and not liable to taxation under acts seek
ing to reach corporations in no way mill
tated against the position assumed by the
controller in this case: It IL competent for
private individuals to create a joint stock
association, issue shares Of stock, and in
that form dispose of property by last will
and testament. The associates by contract
have created the same situation as to
shares Of stock that a corporation secures
by charter.

Although no Official move has yet been
made toward arranging the international
inter-'varsity athletic match between Har-

'It Is in order that q match between the
athletes Of Harvard and Yale and Oxford

printed In the newspapers is simply rumor

there be any definite news about the con-

The FIRST match between Harvard
and Oxford-Cambridge took place In 1899
in London. and 1t was then understood
there should be contest every two years,
alternating between New York and Lon

HANDIcAPs CRITICISED.
Complaint Made That Golf Experts
Win Too Often.

From the New York World
Some golfers Of average ability who make
practice OF competing IN most Of the open
tournaments IN the M g.. A. circuit are
complaining OF The manner In which the
handicaps are conducted. In other words.
they would like Is see the semi-fnalists and
finalists barred from taking part in these
events which usually occur on the last day
Of the tourney s or
In seeking cause for their complaint all
one need do is to look back over the sea-
sons record. He1wfll find that good pro-
portion OF the gross and net handicap score
prizes ass nave been won by men connecting ing
play for cups. There are cases where men
who could have won the handicap prize
have RETAINED from handing In their cards
through pure sportsmanshdp, but such acts
are Few and far between.
1t cannot be said that the handicap Is
given for the special benefit Of any one set
OF individuals, although In some localities
specially held for the business men. who
cannot fnd the time to devote three or four
days to single tournament In discussing
the subject. golfers differ In opindon as to
the best method OF dealing with the matter.

WILD RUMORS AFLOAT

The fact that President Harry Pulliam or
the National League, ]. Earl Wagner, ex-
magnate Of the same organiza ton, were IN
Washington yesterday In consultation With
Uncle Nick Young. and that James II.
Manning Of Kansas City had dropped IN
during the day. set many Of the base bail
fans" of the city to thinking over the
meaning of the gathering.
Mr.. Puiliam reached Washing late Tues
day night, as did Mr.. Manning, while J.
Earl Wagner arrived yesterday morning
Messrs Pulliam. Wagner and Young were
seen by an Evening Star reporter late last
evening, but none Of the trio had any news
to give out. Why Mr.. Wagner should visit
Washington at this time of the year after
being in New York with all the National
League magnates last week. will have to
remain mystery for the time being.
Owed to the Wagners.
1t is known fact that the National
League still owe sthe Wagners the $4,000
which was the sum agreed upon for the
latter to surrender the Washington club
and players. Several OF the National League
moguls stfn persist in talking and urging
a twelve-club organization, and 1t Is barely
possible that Mr.. Wagner came to Wash
ington to look over the field and see what
was necessary to put the old park in play
ing conditio J. Earl is still as enthusiastic
over base ball as ever, and he made a
pretty penny in this city 1t Is argued that
it would take very little to get him back In
the game. In this way the National League
could get rid Of portion of the $4,000 and
add a strong member to the organization.
When Mr.. Wagner owned the Washington
club he was great admirer of James Man
ming and tried several times to get him to
act as manager of the Senators, but the
latter was doing a land-off1ce business at
the time in Kansas City with his club. In
the Western League and all offers were
refused. The natural supposition Is that
Mr.. Manning met Mr.. Wagner by appoint
men yesterday, although the former when
seen last night by Star reporter asserted
in the most emphatic terms that ne was
here on private business.
ord made by Mr.. Manning in Washington
in 1901, especially in a social way, and Is
shrewd enough to know that he would be
just the manager for the place should the
National League decide to place club In
Washington. or course this is all SUPPOSE
ton, but Is the situation as figured out by
several base ball people in the inside yes
terday.
It is known fact that Mr.. Pulliam while
in Baltimore Monday carefully inspected
the National League grounds in that city
and yesterday looked over the old park at
the head Of 7th street. Why Mr.. Pulliam
should go on this tour Of inspection SO
early. when his term Of Office does not be-
gin until the first Of the year, was ques-
ton that furnished food for thought and
made the fans wink the off eye when dis
cussing the situation.

What a Woman Is.

Woman is the strongest moral
on earth.
She is the helm of all things
human.
She is at once the most contra
dictory and the most relevant
thing in nature.
She is sunshine on a holiday,
Balm of Gilead, strength in
weakness, the pound of sweet
ness to every ounce of sourness in
human life.
She doubles the joys and halves
the grief of every true man.
She is the one thing needful; a
full moon in harvest, a perpet-
ually recurring comfort and con-
ISOLATION, a pleasing conscience,
money in your purse, credit at
the bank, ease of mind, a whip
and spur to success, pleasant
memory, the shadow of a great
rock in a weary land.
The words of her month are
sweeter than honey and smooth
er than butter in a lordlY dish,
and they can on occasion be
sourer than vinegar, sharper
than a two-edged sword, and
more bitter than gall or worm
wood.
She is a rod and staff; she is
friend that sticketh closer than
a brother; she Is as good news
from a far country and as cold
water to a thirsty soul.
