AFTER THE PHILLIES.
Dreyfuss to Buy Rogers Holding in
Quaker City Club.

special from Pittsburg says that Barney
Dreyfuss, president of the twice-champion
Pittsburg base ball team. will probably
soon become the owner OF the National
League team in Philadelphia. While there
Is no positive confirmation of the story
1t has been known for some time past that
Mr.. Dreyfuss and Col. John 1. Rogers had
been dickering for the deal. The matter
was discussed In New York at the league
meeting, and after the latter adjourned
Mr.. Dreyfuss accompanied Mr.. Rogers to
Philadelphia, where he now is.
During the last two months President
Dreyfuss and Secretary Pulltam have made
several trips to Philadelphia, and at the
week the statement was made that the
Pittsburger had an option on the Phillies
stock 1t is believed that the negotiations
for the deal have been fully closed up, and
before the end Of the year the transfer will
be made, giving the Pittsburg magnate full
control of the club.
A close business acquaintance Of Mr..
Dreyfuss states that II the sad was a reality
1t was not made for President Dreyfuss
personally 1t Is believed that the Pitts
burger is acting for other parties In the
deal and that the club will soon be trans
ferred to lovers of the game who are not at
present members OF the National League
If President Dreyfuss has negotiated for
the purchase Of the Phillies 1t Is probable
that he will not turn over all the stock to
the new owners, but will keep block Of 1t
for himself.
1t is argued that Mr.. Dreyfuss now has
a championship team, and would not close
ont his holdings In Pittsburg to take charge
OF the Quaker city club.

OLD BALL FAVORED,
British Golf Professionals Refuse to
Use Rubber-Cored Article.

English golf professionals have got to-
gether and given the use Of fast rubber
cored balls a black eye. There have not
been wanting rumors that English manu-
facturers of the gutta-percha ball brought
considerable pressure to bear in influencing
the decision. But the professionals one and
all deny this.
At the first annual meeting of the Profess
sional Golfers Association, held in London
last week, 1t was proposed by James Braid
and seconded by c. r. Smith that for the
present gutta-percha balls only be used In
the tournaments promoted by the associa-
ton. This proposition was eventually. car
riCd by 80 votes to 9.
James Braid, Harry Vardon Willie Wes-
ton. Percy Hills and others spoke strongly
in favor of the superiority of the gutta
percha over rubber-cored balls as a test
OF skill. Vardon considered that with the
latter the player had two chances to one.
If, instead of lofting the ball to the green,
as he intended to do, the player topped it,
he still reached the green, which Vardon
contended did not encourage scientific golf
This discussion, of course applies only to
professional events. The royal and ancient
golf rules committee. whose laws are abso-
Lutte in Great Britain and carry weight
wherever golf Is played. will not render it's
decision until next May. 1t is intima ted,
however. that a strong sentiment exists in
favor of similar action on its part

ROGERS TO RETIRE.
Sunday Ball to Drive the Colonel From
the Came

As a result of the action Of the National
League schedule committee in scheduling
the Philadelphia club to play Sunday games
in the west next season. Colonel John l.
Rogers is determined to get out Of base
ball. Rogers has been trying to sell out
to syndicate for some time. Now he is
determined to quit the game whether he
sells out not.
The colonel is quoted In Philadelphia as
saying:
II have never believed in Sunday ball,
and the action of the National League in
scheduling our club for Sunday games has
not convinced me of its necessity. 1 ad-
nit that Sunday ball pays from a finan-
cial standpoint. but that argument has no
force with me. l wanted to get out Of the
game before this meeting, and / am still
more anxious to retire now. If the syndi-
cate does not take the club l at least will
not be active in its management as l have
been In the past. but will get some one to
manage 1t for me-
A rumor was in circulation yesterday
to the effect that Barney Dreyfuss of the
Pittsburg club had purchased a controlling
interest in the Phillies.

of a quarter of an inch. the first batch Of
plating will be used on the cardboard and
adjoining strakes of the new craft. Thin
ner plates will be brought into use in
sheathlng the sides Of the lead keel and In
the region about the bilges.
The framing received is Of the most sub
startial variety. In plain angles. the widths
being an inch and quarter. Some Of
them with serve for midship frames in con-
nection with the longitudinal framing,
which is the same style followed in build
ing the Constitution.
When the steel angle bars came the work
of fastening the bronze keel plate on the
lead ballast had progressed SO we'll that
almost every one of the lag screws had
been placed In position. The shaping of
the plates and the bending of the framing
material to the proper curves were COM
menced as soon as the material was re-
ceived at the shops.
The trial spin of the first of the new
sleeps of the 30-foot class that are to race
at Bar Harbor next season demonstrated
the fact that the boat had too much ball
last. giving her more than the necessary
stiffness. To remedy this 1t has been de-
cided to cut off about 1,0OO pounds of lead
from the keel, which. 1t is thought. will not
only give her easier heeling qualities. but
will also bring her up out Of the water
somewhat.

Horse Notes From New Orleans
Dreyfuss to Buy Philadelphia Club
Progress on Cup Defender.

II there was one man in the entire bunch
of players VINO deserted the National
League for the American whose word-to
say nothing Of his bond-looked good it was
Delahanty. says Frank Houghiin in the
Philadelphia Inquirer. He wanted to join
the American League in it's first season.
Before he started for Cleveland in the fall
of 1900 he was with the writer for about
five hours waiting for a proposition. Thanks
to a knock handed out by McGraw regard-
ing Delahanty's weakness during the broth
erhood war none of the American clubs
would touch him. The writer squared that
during the playing season of 1901, the OBJ
lection was removed. and the Washington
club was authorized to do business with
him. In order that there should be no
comeback DeIahanty insisted that the con-
tract should be drawn up by lawyer of
his own selection. The contract provided
that Delahanty was to get his money from
the Washington club no matter what hap
pened. Had he broken his leg in the
son of 1902 he was to get the full amount
of his salary until the termination of his
contract at the close of the season of 1903.
He could not be released. he could not be
fined he could not lose any money for
cldentS or sickness incurred during the
playing season. If anybody had asked the
writer who would be the last man to jump
a contract he would have promptly said
Delahanty. 1t now develops. though, that
McGraw knew Delahanty better
Delahanty has not only repudiated his
contract for the coming season with Wash
ington but has also received advance
money from Fred Postal. the principal
owner of the club, after he signed to play
with New York. Delahanty will probably
get more notorety out of this than he i'm
agines. 1t Is not likely, however. that the
American League will consider any peace
proposition which does not provide for the
return of Delahanty to the Washington
club. A fuss over the disposal of the serv-
ices of Bierbauer and Stovey precipitated
one war. and ii there is any disposition to
repudiate Delahanty's contract with the
Senators 1t may lead to a continuation Of
this Under National League rules Della
hanty's services are the property of the
Philadelphia ball club. If 1t could only be
framed up to have him return to that club
the punishment would fit the crime.

National Golf Championships.

The recent amendments to the constitu-
ton of the United States Golf Associat ton
may result In a redistribution of the voting
strength OF the various sections of the
country. One Of these amendments pro-
vides that the executive committee shall
admit clubs to associate membership. giving
que regard to an equalization of representa-
ton. and as the associate clubs are the
only ones having power to vote, II NAV
mean that the east Is to lose the balance Of
power which 1t has held so long, The mat
ter Is OF importance in connection with the
selection Of championship courses, which il
done by vote at the annual meetings, At
present the western representation Is small
In comparison with the popularity of the
game In that section. An increase In the
number Of Its voting clubs would therefore
enable the west to secure the amateur
championship should it care to do SO. So
far no championship has ever gone further
west than Chicago. but between that point
and the Pacific is large and growing
number OF links. several of which might
claim the right to hold this national con-
test. The annual meeting takes place in
February. and up to that time the admis-
sion Of new clubs will rest with the present
