the best city schools of the same grade in
the states. An American free public school
now exists in every municipality in Porto
Rico.
The school year closed last June with
S74 schools open, 1888 pupils enrolled and
923 teachers employed, an increase OF 10
per cent in the number Of schools. FL per

than William j. Clarke. the popular catcher

Of friends. He has the good will and re-
spect Of the players and they will listen to
his advice. AS to his ability to run the
team there Is question at issue. He
served under Ned Hanlon long enough to
know all that great managers methods and
winning tactics. and he has frequently
shown that he has all the capabilities of a
leader.
Clarke has indicated at different times
that he would ike to manager the Wash

a situation the present would turn up
he refused an offer from Philadelphia for
$4,000 made by Manager Shetzline. AS
Clarke will receive only about 5000 from
President Postal for next years work as
a player. it can readily be seen that he is

The local stockholuers are all favorable to

AMERICAN HENLEY ARRANGED.
Officers and Plans Now Announced by
the Stewards,

The american Henley" now promises to
become a reality. A meeting was held IN
New York December 6, but the results were
kept secret the statement being made that
full particulars would be announced at
later day.
These are contained in a circular just Is
sued by w. P. Henderson Of Boston. Sec
rotary Of the board of stewards Of the new
association. This circular names as the
officers of the association: Chairman, II. s.

treasurer, William 1. Forbes; secretary,
W. P Henderson; executive committee,
Thomas Reath w. F. Durand, w. l.

ham.
1t is announced that at the regatta to be
held at Philadelphia, July next, races Will
be held for singles, doubles fours and
Fights, and the present classification of oars
men into juniors and seniors Will proDapiy
not be adhered to. 1t is likely that the
qualifications necessary for each race Will
be ST ecfically stated, and that In this way
a fruitful source of trouble will be averted
The stewards intend to stimulate inter-
scholastic rowing by Offering special races
open only to crews from preparatory
schools and these crews will not be ehcour-
aged to enter the other events IN when
they would be called upon to compete with
more mature oarsmen
THE association, says the circular, was
formed and will be maintained with the
sole purpose of encouraging racing among
amateurs of the highest type. and every
effort will be made to encourage what is
best among rowing men of today. Clubs,
colleges and schools wishing to enter their
men in conformity with the best ideals Of
sport will find the stewards ready to help
= them to the full extent of their power and
have nothing to fear from a board which
Is at once bipartisan and unprejudiced.
early in the coming year the executive
committee will issue an exact statement of
the races and the necessary qualifications
for each event, so that ample time may be
allowed crews and scullers wishing to enter
the regatta.

AS the American League base ball club
owners and representatives start their an
nual meeting at Chicago today, the follow
ing official statement was issued yesterday
by Secretary Fred Knowles Of the New
York National League club:
THE New York club has a three years
contract with Delahanty, and has paid him
large amount of money upon that con-
tract. and expects him to report to the club
when 1t goes south In March, and We do
not believe he Will become an issue in any
peace negotiations between the two leagues.
IF there Is to be any retroactive action
taken regarding players who have left one
league to Join the other, then 1t will have
to go back to the beginning of the con-
troversy. We would certainly resist any
singing out methods and do not believe
they are contemplated or intended"
John T. Brush confirmed the statement of
Secretary Knowles. saying that under no
consideration would Delahanty be given up.
