CASES TO BE PUSHED,
Col. Rogers Will Try for Injunctions
Today in Quaker City Court

A special from Philadelphia says that
after a somewhat quiet week in the legal
complications existing between the Ma
tional and American League magnates to-
day will witness a renewal Of hostilities
as Colonel John I. Rogers will go into court
and apply for injunctions against Monte
Cross, Elmer Flick, Duggleby, E j. Della
hanty, Albert Orth, Harry Wolverton John
Townsend, Frank Donahue and Eddie Nc
Farland
Colonel Rogers stated on Saturday that
he intended to push the cases against all
his players who jumped their contracts as
he was tired of the many delays and want
ed the matter settled at once. The
colonel also said that he was assured that
in few cases the suits would not be neces-
sary, as he expected that some Of the Of
tenders would come back into the fold in
very short time, as negotiations were al
ready under way with some of the players
but their names will not be made public
until they actually come back under the
protecting wing of the mother organization.
To offset the action of the opposition the
American League officials will also resort to
the court and ask for appeal from the
recent decision and will carry the case to
the supreme court and argue upon the mer-
its of the National League contract. 1t is
expected that some new and startling tech
nicalities will be brought forward, and if
there is any chance at all to break the
contract the attorneys will leave no stone
unturned to accomplish this end.
The American League attorneys are said
to be very jubiant over an important clause
in the National League contract which they
are quoted as saying will surely give them
the chance to carry the case to the United
States court and enable the American
League to play the men by filing bonds
pending a decision.
Another noted authority is quoted as say
ing that even should the case go to the
United States court and bonds allowed to
be filed it would not do the American
League much good, as in case the decision
would have ample grounds for damage
suits

Tipman-Young Match,

Joe Tipman and young Sharky are
matched to go twenty rounds before the
knickerbocker Athletic Club in Baltimore
tomorrow night. Tipman is the Baltimore
lad who has the honor Of having knocked
Terry McGovern down. Kid Sullivan of
Washington will be the next man to meet
Tipman in case he should win. Sullivan has
been hot after Tipman ever since he de-
feated Bolan. There will be a large crowd
of Washington sports on hand to see what
kind of a chance Sullivan will have against
a man of Tipmans reputation.

johnson on the Lajoie Case.

President Ban Johnson Of the American
League practically acknowledged in Chi
cago Saturday that If the injunction grant
ed against Lajoie and Bernhard in the
Philadelphia common pleas court were sus-
tanned by the Pennsylvania supreme court,
to which an appeal has been made, that
these men could not play in the American
League.
Although Lajoie's home really is in
Rhode Island said Mr.. Johnson, 1.-The
fact that he votes in Pennsylvania makes
him amenable to the laws Of that state,
SO that his case could not be taken to the
United States Supreme Court. Nor could
that of Bernhard for the reason that less
than $1,000 Is involved in his case. Fraser,
however, may take his case to the United
States Supreme Court, as may other play
ers who play in other than their native
states. who may be enjoined in the
future"
Mr.. Johnson feels confident that the
American League will eventually win in
this legal battle and retain practically all
its players.

Arsenal Won Big Handicap
Kramer Lowers Record.

Washington golf enthusiasts were given
great big surprise Saturday when the Co
lumbia Golf Club defeated Chevy Chase by
eight up in match play for The Evening
Star cup. The match was played on the
Columbia course, eight of the best players
of each organization comprising the two
teams.
The afternoon was an ideal one for the
great Scotch game, and as early as one
o'clock carriages began arriving at the cozy
club house back from the Brightwood road
and unloaded many fair devotees of the
sport besides many admirers of both or
ganizations. The early arrivals passed the
time away strolling about the grounds and
gathering around the home tee to see the
different players get their right swing for
the match by making numerous drives.
The Columbia course was in prime con-
dition and neither side had complaints to
make on this score. Chevy Chase had been
picked as a sure winner by many people
who thought they knew the ability of the
different gentlemen selected to represent
that organization, and the only way to
account for the victory is that the Column
bia players were in unusually good form.
A majority of the Columbia gentlemen have
been praCticing diligently for the past two
weeks for Saturdays match and were eX-
actly on edge. Then again, as one of the
veterans of the game put 1t, the Chevy
Chase stars may have been over confident
and golf is just the game wherein a per-
son is penalized for undertaking an oppo-
nent.

ONE OE NATURES TRAGEDIES.
Unexpected Doom that Overlook
Hunting Kingfsher.

Little is known by the average man
Of the tragedies which are constantly
occurring in wild life. One well-known
naturalist, indeed, goes so far as to
say that no wild animal dies mat
ural" death. Now and then an instance
comes to light, like the following, from
the New York Sun, which shows how
the life of a wild creature is suddenly
snuffed out. The narrator was in a
canoe watching kingtisher that had
alighted on the dead branch Of tree
on the edge Of the pond.
Suddenly the bird rose and dropped
straight down into the water like
stone, and disappeared beneath the sur
face. 1t reappeared almost immediate
ly with fish in its long. spear-like bill,
but it had scarcely regained the sur
face when it disappeared again with
suddenness that led me to think that
something had seized 1t from below.
1t did not come up again, and after
time l rowed to the spot where 1t had
gone down to find an explanation of its
extraordinary disappearance.
A dead pickerel about eight inches
long was floating on the surface near
the shore. 1t was doubtless the one
the kingfsher had caught. Soon after
ward l saw an odd-loOking object float
ing near. On examination it proved
to be big pickerel and the kingfsher'
both dead.
One Of the birds legs was between
the pickerel's jaws, the long teeth oil
which went through the flesh. The
kingfsher's spear-like bill ran clean
through the pickerels body, from side
to side, few inches below the gills.
No doubt the pickerel had seized the
kingfsher by the leg as the bird was
rising from the water with the small
fish, and had pulled 1t back into the
water, expecting to dine upon the king
fisher. The bird had turned In self-de
Tense and driven its sharp beak
through the pickerel, infiicting mortar
wound. The pickerel, with bulldos
tenacity, had kept its hold on the Dlrus
leg, and the two had died together

EDWARD n. CoURTENAY DEAD.
For Many Years Senior Computer Of
Coast and Geodetic SURVEY.

Edward Henry Courtenay Tor many
years senior computer of the United States
coast and geodetic survey, and one OF the
designers of the wartime Notifications
about Washington, died at his residence
in this city last Tuesday, and was buried
Thursday in Glenwood cemetery. The fu-
neral occurred from st. Peters Church, at
Sd and c streets southeast. His associates
in the coast survey attended the funeral In
a body, and the following served as pail
bearers: II. q. Ogden, A. Lindenkohl, NJ.
H. Doolittle, w. III. Dennis. q. A Fair
field and w. {. Maupin. honorary pail
bearers; j. f. Hayford, A L. Baldwin G
C. Deetz. D. L. Hazard, ]. II. Mllsaps and
c. r. Duvall, active pallbearers.
Mr.. Courtenay was a son Of Edward
Courtenay. the latter a graduate OF West
Point, author of "Courtenay's Calculus"
and at the time of the civil war professor
of mathematics in the University of Nir-
ginia. Just after the battle of Bull Run.
and in consequence Of the disorder which
then prevailed, Professor Courtenay passed
his son through the lines to Washington.
Although but nineteen years old, the young
man was able to obtain a post in the coast
survey, then the only bureau OF the gov
eminent which could make use of his pc
culiar talents. He had been at work three
years when Assistant c. A. Schott of the
coast survey was directed to make sur
vey for the location of the fortifications
about Washington, and young Courtensy
was selected to assist him as recorder.
BY earnest and faithful discharge of the
duties successfully assigned him, Mr..
Courtenay rose gradually to the post of
senior computer. which he held at the time
of his death. He had remarkable gift
for arrangement and accuracy This
proved to be particularly valuable in the
earlier years of the survey, when its meth
DDS were being developed, and IL Is gen.
orally accredited to him that these meth
DDS are now so widely renowned for clear
ness, conciseness and completeness.
The computing division of the coast sur
vey met the day after Mr.. Courtenay's
death and passed resolutions which recited
the latter's great services in the division,
and referred particularly to the many VOL
umes of computations and adjustments left
by him in the archives of the office. which
for accuracy and completeness have no
equal and which will always be an endur-
ing memorial to him.
Mr.. Courtenay's wife and son Of four
years survive him.

MISS L1EBERMANN's PUPILS.
They Gave an Attractive Musicale Last
Night.

The combination Of nine pianos with the
Marine Band regularly offered by Miss
I.iebermann at the annual recitals Of her
pupils filled the National Theater last night
and evoked the most enthusiastic applause.
The entire audience was manifesuy delight
ed with the concert At the beginning of
the program that part of the stage nearest
the footlights was filled with bouquets sent
from friends of the pupils. The close was
marked by a demonstration Of the most
unqualified approval.
Miss Liebermann selected the following
pupils as sufficiently advanced to take part
in the concert: Miss Eva Hilliard, Miss
Dorothy Dalton, Miss Beulah Adler. Miss
Sauter, Miss LEM, Miss Callan, Miss Bessie
Davis, Miss F. Hilliard Miss Moore Miss
Kaufman and Miss Eva Mccarthy, to all
of whom medals were awarded for pro-
nounced excellence, and Miss NJ Middaugh
Miss NJ. Chapman, Miss Brandt, Miss
Finkle, Miss Rice. Miss Thwing. Miss
Whalen, Miss Weber, Mrs. Middaugh and
Master Ural Davis. All the young ladies
named wore picturesque and appropriate
gowns of white and made very beautiful
picture when stated in semi-circle at the
nine grand pianos.
Interest in the concert on the part OF
musicians was divided between the pot
pourri, from Paderewskis ''Manru'' and the
unusual union of sound produced by the
pianos and band playing simultaneously.
The Paderewski number was heartily APP
plauded 1t was, however, too much to ex-
pect that any abridgement epitome OF
an opera like "Manru'' could convey an
adequate idea Of the work or do justice to
it's lyrics. The other selections rendered in
concert were much more successful-the
Pilgrims chorus from "Tannhauser," the
Weingarten arrangement Of "The Invitation
to the Dance" Myerbeer's corona ton
march, from THE Prophet" and Moskow-
skis Spanish Dance" In these the young
pianists played with an understanding of
both the composers method and his pur-
pose, and the result was vigor and con-
fidence Of execution which pleased the au-
dience greatly.
Many solos of many kinds were heard
during the evening. Most of the pupils to
whom medals were given played alone. This
number was augmented by instrumental
solos by Miss Anita Cluss, at the harp; Mr.
Robert Seel tiutist and Mr.. Walter Smith,
