TAWNEY GETS A PLACE
Is ON STEERING COMMITTEE TO
DEFEAT CUBAN RECIPROCITY.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-A confer
ence of the leaders in the opposition
which is being waged against the ways
and means plan of Cuban reciprocity was
held tonight in the rooms of the house
committee on foreign affairs for the pur-
pose of outlining plan of procedure for
the general caucus of Republican mem
bers tomorrow night. About forty MEM
hers, representing most of the Northern
states, were present. The canvasses which
have been made were gone over carefully,
and claims were made that the opposition
forces commanded majority of the Re-
publican strength, despite the very posi-
tive claims made by the ways and means
members earlier in the day. A vote was
taken on the question of bringing the
matter to a decisive issue tomorrow
night, and it was decided to have a steer
ing committee confer with the elements
supporting the reciprocity plan in order
to secure an agreement for "a final dis
position of the subject at tomorrow
nights meeting. This steering commit
tee consists of Messrs. Dick, Of Ohio;
Tawney, Of Minnesota; Mercer, Of Ne
braska; Crumpacker, of Indiana, and Lit
tlefield, Of Maine.

O'BRIEN ALMOST OUT
NIX EEVER HAD PHILADELPHIA
JACK GOING IN FIRST ROUND.

PHILADELPHIA, March 1O-After
coming within an ace of being knocked
out in the first round tonight by Charley
McKeever at the Washington Sporting
club, philadelphia jack O'Brien pulled
himself together, and during the remain
ing five rounds had clearly the better
of the go. The first round was in a
way sensational, and worked the specta-
tors up to a high pitch of excitement.
Both fighters started in at rafting pace,
and while mixing it up lively McKeever
suddenly shot his right across and caught
OBrien squarely on the jaw. The Eng
fish champion went to the floor with
bang, and for moment it looked as
though he were out, but he came to his
feet just as the limit of the count was
reached. After that he fought hard and
fast, but McKeever who was fighting
magnifcently, managed to stay with
OBrien to the scheduled limit Of six
rounds McKeeYer, however, was con-
siderably punished, his face being much
battered up.
This was the first meeting of the men
since they met in London a few weeks
ago, when O'Brien was awarded the de-
cision on a foul.

HURLEY MAY DESERT
BACKSTOP SIGNED By KELLY MAY
NOT JOIN THE
SAINTS
WILL GO ON THE BLACKLIST
If Catcher Fails to obey Managers
Order to Report, He Will
Be Posted on Hickey's
Roll.

1t is more than probable that when
President Hickey, of the American as
ISOLATION, publishes his first official hui
etin he will include in his list of eX-
PEELED players one Hurley, a catcher sign
ed by Manager Mike Kelly to play
through the 1902 season with the Saints.
While Manager Kelly was travelling
about the country securing the names of
desirable players to contracts for the ST.
Paul team, he met up with and signed a
East catcher. The backstop's name was
J. J. Hurley. Kelly allowed this man
advance money and reported the signed
contract to President Lennon.
When Kelly reached ST. Paul he found
a letter from Hurley waiting for him.
The catcher sent back the advance money
and declared in his letter that he woulo
rather not play with the Saints. Kelly
answered the letter with an order to re-
port at Richmond Ind. for the spring
training. Hurley may report. If he does
not, his name win go on the American
associations blacklist.
The failure of Hurley to report will
not cause Manager Kelly a moments
worry, for he still has Bill Wilson and
two other fast backstops on his list The
order was simply sent to Hurley to give
him chance to live up to his contract.
Ii he fails to take advantage of the
chance he will provide President Hickey
with one example of what blacklist In
the American association means.
Manager Kelly is keeping in constant
bOuch with his players, and he declares
that when the reporting time arrives they
will all be found at Richmond, Ind. While
there the Saints will play exhibition
games with the Milwaukee team, and
also with local teams about the train
ing grounds. Kelly arranged a series OF
games with the Cincinnati National
league team, but the management OF the
Reds refuses to overlook the clever play
made by the st. Paul manager, who
stepped in and signed Stimmel undey their
very noses, and they have announced that
the game with the Saints will be cam
celed.
Pitcher Roy Evans is another man
signed by Kelly who has compelled con-
siderable correspondence. Several times
the press dispatches reported Evans on
his way East to join the New York team,
but Kelly declares that he knows where
Evans intends to play this season, and
he is not worrying.

METHOD IN CAMPAIGN AROUsES
STRONG SUPPORTERS
WITHDRAWAL IS LOOKED FOR
Two of the Perhaps Presidents
Closest Adherents Are Demand
ing a Decided Change
of Methods.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 10-Unless two
of the Strongest baseball men associated
with the Spalding faction of the National
league are soon appeased, A. G. Spalding
VIII be forced by his followers 10 step
down and out of the present fight for
the presidency of the league.
Spalding's alleged lack of method in his
campaign and his absence in California
has SO displeased one of the men sup
posed to be among Spaldings closest adj
herents that he has practically refused
to take any further part in the fight,
unless Spalding withdraws or makes a
decided change in his campaign.
1t is believed that President Harris trip
to the Pacific coast for consultation
with his chief has as its aim the reach
ing of some Sort of an understanding with
Spalding, whereby the latter would con-
sent to a withdrawal for the sake of a
compromise.

CHICAGO, March 1O.-Trainer Hemp
hill, of Northwestern university, yester-
day officially confirmed the report that
the university win invite the preparatory
schools of the Middle West to compete

thorities to expand on the meets already
under way and invite contestants from
all the prep" schools in this and neigh
boring states, thus giving the academy
boys a chance to show their mettle
against the strong high school teams.
Assurances are said to have already
been received by Hemphill from the Cook
county schools and academies that they
will send full teams to the meet and en-
tries are expected from similar schools
in Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa and Indiana.
Gold, silver and bronze medals will lie
offered the winners in the various events.

PERHAPS TO THE JAILHoUsE.
Baseball Pitcher May Be Charged
With Perjury.

COLUMBUS, March 1O.-Pitcher MulIin.
who is claimed Jointly by Brooklyn and
Detroit, may spend the coming season in
prison instead of on any ball field in
either the National or American league.
President Mautner, of the Fort Wayne
club, before giving Mullin a second in
Stallment of advance money on his Fort
Wayne contract, compelled the pitcher to
make a sworn statement, in which he
stated that he had signed with neither
Brooklyn nor Detroit, and agreed further
not to do so, but to play the season Of
1902 with whatever club President Maui
ner should designate.
George StallingS now makes the claim
that he signed Mullfn last August to a
Detroit contract, and if this contract is
produced Mullin will be liable to a per
jury charge, which, in the state Of Indi-
ana, gives a penalty-of from two to TWEEN
ty-one years in prison, or fine of $50 to
81 900. Mautner says he will prosecute
Mullin if the player. tries to get out of his
contract with the Fort Wayne club and
the prospect for the pitcher seems to be
decidedly blue if all the reports regarding
his versatility with the pen prove true.

Luncheon at Union League.

At the Union League Prince Henry was
the honored guest at a private luncheon
attended by 100 prominent citizens. The
banquet room was beautifully decorated.
The center of the table represented a
lake in which rested an electrical and
floral miniature Of the emperor's yacht
Meteor. The chief feature of the floral
decorations was a new pink carnation
named Prince Henry. On the wall di-
rectly facing Prince Henry as he sat at
the table was a life size oil painting
of Emperor William, tastefulIy draped
with German colors. The guests at the
luncheon Were presented individually to
Prince Henry, and later the members of
the Union league, who had gathered to
honor the prince, were presented coliec-
lively. The prince made a brief ad-
dress.
After the luncheon his royal highness
was driven to the Pennsylvania fairoad
station, where he boarded his train at
$40 o'clock. AS the train moved out OF
the train shed at 3:35 o'clock the prince,
