E1oslsiors Of Baltanors Easily De-
feated by WashingtSns Picked Team.
TERRY RGoVERE BADLY HURT
Manager E|ine Tells What Cycle
Track Owners Will Do.
5 PORTS IN GENERAL

The Golden Eagles bowling alleys were
the scene Of an interesting contest last
night between the Excelsiors Of Baltimore
and picked team from this CITY, the home
players winning out In three straight games.
The game put up by the Washingtouians
was Of a high class, all their scores being
we'll over the 800 mark while the Balti-
moreans were not able to reach those flg-
ures in any one of the games.
The Excelsiors enjoy the reputation of
being one of the best bowling clubs in Bal
timore, and 1t was thought the local play
ers would have a rough road cut out for
them in the evenings play, but the con-
trary was the rule. The most interesting
bowling Of the evening came out in the last
game, when something like thirty two
spares were made by the local bow1ers.
Smith of the locals had the honor of max
ing the best average Of the evening-19l-
wnile Harlow walked away with the top
score ffgures-20S
The Washington team comprised Harlow
and Smith OF the CAROLS, Shiman and
Ludwig Of the Golden Eagles and Spiess
of the Saengerbunds. There is more than
the usual amount OF strength in this team
and after the District championship has
been decided 1t would be an interesting
point to settle to see whether another FIVE
could be picked which could defeat Il.

nights games:

full that he will be in shape by the time
the playing season begins.
Americans have organized several ball
teams in the City of Mexico, and the ma
t;cnal sport Is receiving liberal patron
age from the residents down there.
Jud Smith has been signed by the To-
ledo club of the American Association He
will take Bobby Cargos place at third base:
Smith played with Syracuse last year and
was a Pirate for five days.
Thomas Thomas, the pitcher whom Con-
ME Mack was after when Connie was man
ager of the Pirates, will likely be found
with the Columbus team this year.
The Yale base ball managers regret that
Clarence Weymouth, the former Bucknell
catcher, who held Christy Mathewson for
two years. has decided to row with the crew
instead Of playing base ball.
Secretary Dale Gear, P. p. A, says: "A
PLAYER who Jumps his contract Is not hon.
est and hardly see how the manager who
persuades him to jump can be considered
in a better light certainly not by base ball
authorities. There Is even honor IN war,
as barbarous and fnhIman acts are con-
demned by the civilized nations, and honest
dealing in a base ball way Is the only
method by which any faction can hope for
federation and patronage OF the base bah
public"
on the market in case the followers of
Spalding in the National League fight agree
on some one else for president, for 1t is now
almost certain that the courts Will enjoin
Spalding permanently from acting In that
capacity If the National League split con-
tinues there IS certain to be wild scramble
made by the players who have signed with
the league for the present season to get in
out of the cold. This would give the other
four clubs a chance to strengthen their
teams and a four-club league, made up of
the best players now signed, would not be
SO bad after all.

Women and the Koran.

From the Detroit Free fress.
In all Mohammedan countries the condi-
ton Of women is one Of the most ab5ect
subserviency to the with Of man. This Is
due almost wholly to the teachings OF the
Koran, which, among other things Of simi-
lar character. says the husband may d.
vorce his wife without assigning any rea-
son or giving any notice; he may rebuke,
imprison and scourge her. He may twice
divorce and twice take back the same
woman. but II he third time divorce her
she cannot again become his wife until
she has married and been divorced from
some other man. Yet Ibrahim Halebi says;
"In the absence Of serious reasons NO Mus
sulman can. Justify divorce In the eyes
either OF religion or the law. II he aban-
don his wife or put her away from simple
caprice, he draws upon himself the divine
anger, for the curse OF God.' said the
prophet, rests upon him who repudiates
his wife capriciousiy.' Practically. how
ever, g. Mohammedan may, whenever he
pleases, without assigning any reason, say
to his wife. 'sThou art diyorcedr

Manager Eline Tells What Cycle
Track Owners Will Do.
Manager J. Frank Eline Of the Baltimore
and Washington coliseums returned to the
oyster city yesterday from New York after
four days that were as full Of bicycle rae
ing business as any he ever had in his life
His pet scheme, the National Bicycle
Track Association. went through and was

basis that, while riders will be equitably
treated, the men who put thousands OF dol
lars into the tracks will be protected by
standing solidly together and acting as q
unit
"To make It thoroughly feasible required
the cooperation Of the National Cycling AS
ISOLATION" he said. "and required a revision
of the laws Of the N. C. A. To this end q
committee Of revision was selected which
has until April to report revised laws,

instance. 1t can bring foreign riders over
here, guaranteeing large sums to get them
and contracting with them to appear at all
the tracks on the circuit, whereas formerly
they appeared only at @ few places.
Another feature will be pure amateur
class. We have found that In some cities
the amateurs won merchandise prizes, but
forced track owners to- arrange with per-
sons from whom they bought the prizes to
surrender money IL the merchandise were
brought back. That was another loose
screw In the N. c. A. law. Amateurs were
forbidden to take money, but track owners
we're not prevented from giving money to
them. The amateurs forced the owners te
do their will by threatening to refuse to en-
ter ana ride Tor them. This occurred most
ly In the east, where tracks are close to-
gether and riders can desert one to ride al
another. s.ss. 4 -
Another abuse that can be scotched now
Is the hoid-up system OF certain groups OF
riders who have demanded more than theil
contracts called for saying they under
stood they were to get this or that. though
not nominated In the contract. Thus they
have refused to ride and crowds OF specta.
tors would be disappointed.
The big stars have frequently refused tf
go to outlying cities except at exerbitan,
and prohtbitiye rates, and at such rates al
they have accepted they have demanded
easy contests Hereafter the circuit win be

soDEN STANDS BY FREEDMAN.
| Declares Boston's Vote VIII Never Be
CAST for Spaldin9.

Declares BOston's Vote VIII Never BE
Cast for SpaldinG.
So far as the Boston Base Ball Club is
concerned very determined stand has
been taken by A. H. Soden, president Of
that organization, in the factional fight
now being waged in the National League.
In a letter written to Andrew Freedman
and received by him yesterday in New
York Mr. Soden says: There is no cir
cumstance or condition that can arise in
the National League by which the vote Of
the Boston club ever will be cast for A.
G. spalding for any Office
As it had been rumored that the Boston
club would eventually come to the support
Of Mr.. Spalding after the Injunction case
had run It's course through the courts, the
positive utterance of Mr.. Soden dispels
any relief in that direction.
Papers have been served on the Brook
lyn Base Ball Club and the Philadelphia,
Pittsburg and Chicago clubs making them
parties to the Injunction suit now on the
calendar in the supreme court Of New
York city. This was done at the instance
Of the four clubs contending that A. e..
Spalding is not the legal president.
The substance Of the petition Is that the
Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Chicago and Pitts
burg clubs be restrained from suffering,
allowing, aiding or abetting A. G. Spald-
ing to exercise any control over the prop
erty or affairs Of the National League.
Counsel for Mr.. Spalding insists that,
while the Brooklyn representatives Of the
National League will have to move in
their personal capacity instead of their
official capacity, the Chicago, Philadelphia
and Pittsburg clubs may take any action
they may deem advisable, as they are for
eign corporations and out Of the jurisdic-
tion of the court.
Mr. Spalding has made public the CORE
spondence that he had with Mr.. Young
relative to the publication of the league
minutes Informed r d
ing that he was advised by his attorney
that he would be violating the injunction
If he delivered copies of the minutes to
Mr.. Spalding. This undoubtedly is the
reason that the Spalding copies were not
sent as requested to the Albemarie Hotel
in New York city.

President McKinley's instructions.

Woodfords requirement was unauthorized;
that President Mckinley wished to have
Spain told that she must either grant indie

OREGON
NURSERY
COMPANY
Secure Men to Take Place of
Strikers

There was not the slightest sem
blance of a strike at the yards of the
Oregon Nursery Company this morn
ing The places of the workmen, who
abandoned their jobs Thursday after
noon, were filled, and the work was
continued without any serious inter
ruptlon.
OF the 80 men in the employ of the
company, 20 quit work and refused to
return except their wages be increased
from $3.50 to $t75 per day of ten
hours work. A reporter saw a Nur-
sery Company man, who said:
The company refused to grant the
advance, and the men quit work. The
strikers were replaced without any
trouble, the only difficulty to the com
pany being in the selection of the
score of men that was required from
the many applicants that responded
to the advertisement that appeared In
Thursday evenings Journal. The
great majority of strikers were last
night initiated to membership in the
Salem Federal Labor Union.
This Is the dullest season of the
year in the nursery business, and the
strike would not have seriously Grip
pied the company, had the manage
ment been unable to replace the men.
Speaking Of the strike, NJ. Melon
aid, president of the company, said
the relations between the men and the
company had always been pleasant.
"Our nursery has been paying better
wages TO laborers than any other nur-
sery on the Pacific coast" said MIR.
Mcdonald this morning, "and we could
not afford to grant a further advance
when we are compelled TO sell our
product in competition with firms
that are employing cheaper labor. In
the winter months, owing to the short
ness of the days, our men are not re-
qulred to work later tnan o'clock in
the afternoon, and we made no reduc-
ton in their wages. Should the other
nurseries on the coast advance their
wage schedule equal to or surprising
the wages paid by us, we would
willingly meet the advance, but We
consider the demand that has been
made on us for an advance in wages
is an unjust one when il is considered
we are already paying the maximum
wage schedule OF all Pacific coast nur-
series"
