NATIONAL BALL LEAGUE
wARRING FACTIONS a BURY THE
RATCHET TONIGHT.
spaIdinG May Be Retired and a Com
mittee of Three Be Named to Run
Affairs This eason

NEW YORK, March 31.-Harmony be-
tween the warning factions and a playing
schedule for the coming season are ex-
pected to be the results Of the meeting Of
the National League club owners that be-
gins tomorrow night at the B~ifth-avenue
Hotel. An impression prevails that the
question of the League presidency will not
be considered at the meeting. Both fac
lions appear to be willing TO carry out the
proposed plan of appointing a committee
of three to run the affairs of the League
during the coming season.
According to a statement made by
Charles II. Ebbetts, president of the Brook
lyn club, A. G. Spalding's name will be put
forward as one of the governing committee
of three. He is further quoted as saying:
1--WE will get together and probably decide
on a governing board of the National
League made up OF Messrs. Young and
Spalding and a third party. The selection,
Of course, remains with the National
League
1t is expected that the magnates will have
many different opinions as 10 the schedule
to be adopted. Reports indicate that at
least four and possibly six schedules will
be presented for adoption. one of them by
the Boston club, calling for Sunday games
for that club. The season probably will
open April IL, although Barney Dreyfuss,
of Pittsburg, is said to have prepared q
schedule calling for the play to begin
ADril %.

mense throng journeyed to Bennings to-day

a commanding lead. This position he
maintained for about half the distance. On
aking the fifth jump lie Moon fell and
was passed by several other horses. M.
Kerr escaped uninjured and Immediately
rose, remounted his charge, overtoOk the
leaders and again assumed a good lead.
After travelling some distance lie Moon re-
fused two jumps. In the meantime Hari-
Kari forged TO the front and won after a
hard drive from Masterpiece. Royal Stay,
played from skies TO twOs, the only mount
which did not fall or refuse the jumps, had
no speed and was never a contender for
first place. Winners in order: Alpaca, 13
to 20; Rose Tint, 13 to 3; Airus. Z to 10; Es-
sene, 9 TO 5; Blue and Orange, 3 to 3; Lamp

DAMAGE BY THE STORM
HEAVY LOSsEs II PITTsBURG, ALE
GHENY AM VICINITY.
Twelve Churches Suffered and sixty
Persons Were Injured, several OF
Whom May Die.

PITTSBURG, Pa, March 31.-The dam
age by yesterdays storm probably will
reach several hundred thousand dollars.
The effect OF the wind can be seen on all
sides to-day. Houses. churches and many
large plants Unroofed. bridges partly dis
mantled, fences and trees down and trolley,
telegraph. telephone and fire alarm wires
Frustrated.
\ remarkable feature Of the storm was
the number OF churches damaged. In Pitts
burg and Allegheny and the immediate
vicinity eleven houses OF worship were
more or less wrecked. but in only two Of
them-the Knoxville Presbyterian Church
and the Robinson United Presbyterian
Church-did any casualties result. At the
Knoxville church. through the chimney
coming through the roof. probably thirty
five persons were injured.
a church also was wrecked near Wells
burg. W. Va.
The local churches damaged are: St.
Peters Protestant Episcopal. Belleheld
Presbyterian. ST. John the Evangelist
Roman Catholic and Eighth-street Temple.
OF Pittsburg; African Methodist Episcopal
and ST. Wencelaus Bohemian Roman Cath
Ole, OF Allegheny: First English Lutheran
and United Presbyterian. Of Braddock;
Knoxville Presbyterian; St. Mary's Roman
Catholic. OF Mckee, Rocks, and Robinson
Run United Presbyterian Church, Of Nc
Donald. Pa.
The casualties, as far as reported. will
not number more than sixty injured. Of
whom five or six are likely 10 die. Those
probably fatally hurt were injured at the
Knoxville Presbyterian Church and the
Robinson Run Presbyterian Church.
The linemen in the employ Of the different
telegraph and telephone companies and the
bureau Of fire and lighting were busy all
night getting the wires I'm working order
from the damage sustained during the
storm. Lines were down I'm all directions,
but the men at work repairing the dam
age expected To have the lines in working
order soon.
a peculiar feature OF the storm was that
the Weather Bureau records show only
a maximum velocity OF wind of thirty-six
miles an hour. Colonel Frank Ridgeway.
chief OF the Pittsburg Weather Bureau. says
II was only a squall. likely to occur at any
time this season OF the year. The condi-
tons were cyclOnic. but where the wind
was the strongest its velocity would not
exceed fifty or sixty miles an hour. The
weather to-day Is blustery and snowy.
High winds prevail. but the velocity is not
strong enough TO do any more damage.
Dispatches from surrounding towns in
western Pennsylvania. eastern Ohio and
West Virginia report heavy damage from
the storm.

TOMMY FELTZ BESTED.
Decision Awarded TO Johnny Regain
on Points.

ST. LOUIS, March Sl.-Johnny Regain. of
Brooklyn, II. Y, won the decision on points
in a twenty-round bout tonight with Tom
my Feltz. of Savannah. Ga, before the
West End Athletic Club. Regain fought a
magnificent battle, and his advantage over
his opponent at the close of hostilities was
very marked. Regain used an effective left
jab to the face, while Feltz played for the
body, but his blows were for the most part
cleverly blocked by Regain. A blow on the
solar plexus put Regain in sore straits in
the eleventh round, but he recuperated
quickly and came back in the next round
full OF fight.
Regain will now be matched with Harry
Forbes for the bantam-weight champion
ship of the world. the bout to take place
before the West End Club.
