BASE BALL WRANGLES.
Trying to Patch Up Differences in
Minor Leagues.

The efforts Of the national board Of arbi-
tration to settle the war between the Amer
lean Association and the Western League
have not been successful up to date. T. H.
Van Brunt, the president OF the st. Joseph
club, was in New York yesterday, and al
though he and several members of the
board held conferences. nothing definite was
done.
New York that all the members of the board
would have Mr.. Van Brunt and Presidents
Brice of Columbus and Watkins of Indian
apolis before them today. THE whole case
will then be thrashed OUT said Mr.. Powers,
land efforts will be made to straighten out
the difficulty" Mr.. Powers said that the
members of the American Associa ton would
be treated with fairness In the negotiations,
in the hope that the trouble would be set
tied

beau, who were expelled by the National
Association in case Of a settlement" was
asked.
The National Association is big and
strong enough just now" replied Mr..
Powers, 80 that 1t can afford to be mag
unanimous. 1t would not be proper to let
two men stand in the way of a settlement
Of this trouble, and they won't"
The fight between the American Associa-
ton and the Western League has been dis
astrous to both. In Milwaukee and in Kan
sas City, where each organization has a
team, all four clubs lost heavily on the
season. The trouble may be settled by
each organization pulling out of one city. II
is possible that the Western League may
get out of both cities and take in two other
towns, making a more evenly balanced
circuit.
The national board resumed its meetings
today and a settlement of the difficulty may
be reached before night.

ton of the association the necessity for
holding a public meeting, to which all the
residents of the section represented by the

sisting of DR.. E. D. Thompson, Messrs. So
lon C. Kemon and James A. Conner, was
appointed to arrange for such a public
meeting and to provide speakers to show
the needs of the District and especially of
the section represented by the association.
Mr.. j. s. Potter presented a petition ia
voring action by the association looking to
the removal of a nuisance caused at the
corner of 9th and Thomas streets north
east by the use of vacant land in that vi
cinity for purposes of a dump.
Officers for the next year were then Sc
lected. All the old officers were reelected
with the exception of Mr.. Washington Top
ham, the vice president, who declined to.
serve longer. His place was filed by the

BOWLING.
Bureau Representatives outbowl the
Census Team

Once more the Palace bowling alleys were
lively with bowlers last night, three leagues
having matches scheduled, all of which
were rolled promptly and before large
crowds.
AS was to be expected, the best bowling
was done by the Census and Bureau teams
Of the Departmental League. Some of the
best bowlers Of the city are now on depart
mental teams, and as a result the playing
has become first class. Last night the Bu-
reaus were at their best and their fine work
swept the Census team off it's feet, three
straight games going down to the credit of
the former. All Of the Bureaus games were
powled over the 500 mark. Hess of the Bu-
reaus, with 1S9 in the first game, made
the top score of the evening

BONES WERE FOUND.
Discovery Of Workmen Excavating
Under the White House.

What is believed to be a portion of a hu-
man skeleton was unearthed in the excaya-
tions being made in the basement of the
White House last week. The bones were
dug up in excayating a sub-basement in
which to construct the proposed new heat
Ing apparatus for the mansion. Before the
bones were found the colored diggers had
unearthed portion of an old wall in which
was built an old-fashioned oven This
tomb-like structure, taken in conjunction
with the bones which were soon found
created a small-sized panic among the
workmen.
The bones were carefully preserved for a.
closer analysis. and the men were eau
toned 10 say nothing about their discoy-
cry until this can be made.
The land upon which the White House is
situated Is all made" land and the con-
lecture is that before the Executive Man
sion was erected there il might have been
the site OF an old colonial mansion. This
would account for the wall and the oven,
but not for the bones
The fact of the discovery of the homes
which are said to consist of several ribs
ana leg bone, was so carefully guarded
that nothing was heard of 1t until yester-
day. when the story leaked out. The COL
ored men who were doing the excavating,
II is said. at first refused to work further,
and assurances of nothing further uncanny
had to be made to them to induce them to
continue digging. 1t will not be necessary

ationS be again unearthed to the wonder
