Held PRISONERS BY
INCLEMENT WEATHER
The Senators Were Unable to
Work Yesterday.
"Bill" Clarke May Train at Annapolis
Manager Lotus Still Confident That
Weather Will Open Up.

A cold drizzle that put all thoughts of
practice completely to the bad was served
up by the weather man yesterday. All
day long the Senators sat around the
lobby of the Barton and whistled FOR the
warm Southern zephyrs that never came.
The enforced Iay-off did not meet with
the approval of any of the ball tossers,
as they are all anxious to get in condition
as soon as possible.
Late the evening before Fl. S. Wolver-
ton blew into town from Philadelphia. The
crack third haseman is very sore at his
former managers. He was on the Phillie
Nationals last year. and was forced TO
lay of as the result of an accident while
he was playing ball Because Of this fact
he was locked $500 by John /. Rogers
representative, Manager Shettsline.
This drastic treatment was not at all
to Wolverton's liking. and he raised a
large and glorious. though futile, kick.
The matter has now been taken into the
courts. and Harry is confident that the
law will eventually make the Philadelphia
club disgorge. Wolverton is pleased with
his present location, and is more than
willing to play ball with the Senators.

He has taken final leave of his Tiger
wards, but unless the weather improves,

great stumbling block in the hitherto
bright and rosy pathway of the Senators
This dismal, cold. uncertain kind oi
weather Is even worse for the men than
the clear. windy weather that was dished
out for them on Thursday. The boys
could get out then, and after little
working out, did not mind the wind te

PLAYING SCHEDULE
FOR NATIONAL TEAMS
Has Comparatively Few Con.
flicting Dates.
Projected Raid on Players Denied by
Reach-Freedman Supreme
Manager LOTUS Opinion.

NEW YORK, April 4.-The National
Leagaue playing schedule for the coming
season was made public today. In it there
are only forty-fiye conflicting dates with
tfc American League clubs in Boston.
Philadelphia, Chicago. and st. Louis, or
sixteen in Boston, eleven in Chicago, ten
in Philadelphia. and eight in st. Louis.
For the first time in many years the
Western clubs will not play in the East
a conflict with the American League on
that day in Boston and Philadelphia was
deemed inadvisable.
The story published today to the effect
that the league magnates had raised
fund of 100000 to pillage the American
League teams was widely discussed at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel today. where the
magnates were still stopping. Reach.
president of the Philadelphia club. after
taking breakfast with Edward HanloI,
said that he knew of no such fund, and
that il the clubs manager. Horace Fogel,
should induce Lajoie to jump from the
Philadelphia Athletics for SIS, 900 cash it
would be contrary to the will of Reach
and John /. Rogers, who lost Lajoie by
deSertiOn year age.
Those who were responsible for the cir
culation OF the story said that the mag
mates have been cooking up this scheme
for several months. and that they have
planned to smash the American League
with one fell swoop. The idea is to land
a few stars such as Lajoie. Delehanty.
Heidrick, Wallace. George Davis, and
others for big money.
Freedman at Last Supreme.
The placing of the leagues affairs in
the hands Of an executive committee con-
sisting of Brush, chairman: Sodcn. and
Hart, means that Freedman has tight
hold on the situation, and that he can
run things 10 suit his own whims. Brush,
1t may be said will manipulate the um-
pires and will decide all questions in
volving disputes among the clubs.
II Hanlcn does not begin the season as
manager of the New Yorks it will be be-
cause he has not been able 20 secure the
consent OF Atell and Won Der Horst. AZ
ter this season. however. IL he stays
through IL with the BrcOklys, he will tie
UP to the New York club. These who say
they enjoy Hanlon's confidence are re-
sponsible Ger the statement that next fall
ne will lie elected president and general
manager of the New York club, Freedman
retiring from active participation.
Nicholas E. Young will move the
leagues headquarters from Washington
to this city as soon rs he can pack his
trunks This move is expected to head OIL
the American Leagues plan of establish
ing Offices here for Ban Johnson.

! resident Williams, of the S. A. l.,
Says That His Line Will Not
Be Caught in the
Trust.

The Atlanta Constitution of yes
terday in discussing tne present rail
road situation, says;
Among railroad men in this terri
tory, the opinion is daily becoming
mare general that the merging of prac-
tically all the railroads in the south
east into one combination is an event
OF the not very distant future.
1t his been stated that such a combi
nation was the ultimate intention OF
lne Morgan interests wnen they
fnanciered the reorganization of the
Richmond Terminal Company and or
ganized the Southern railway. That
they have been working toward this
ever since the formation of the South
ern is evident to any one wno has
watched the progress of railroad af-
fairs.
Practically every road OF Importance
in the southeast with the exception of
the Seaboard Air Line and the Frisco
is now conroiley either directly or
indirectly by the Morgan interests. 1t
is said that the final merging OF these
properties viii come as soon as the
legality Of the Northern Securities

The probable course OF the Seaboard
if such a merger is made, has been
much discusseq. Some have con
tended that the road would remain

that Morgan can buy it whenever ne

TO FIGHT
THE CASE
JUDGE SPARKS is NOT SATISFIED
WITH DECISION OF STATE

ably be tried in the city court today.

the charge of keeping a lewd house.
The jury returned verdict of guilty,
and Judge Sparks sentenced Ponder
to serve term Of ten months On the
chain gang and pay a fine of S10G
Ponoer ana his attorneys fought the
sentence of Juoge Sparks and efforts
We're made to get him to commute the
sentence. For a while it looked as
though he would nave to serve the
term Finally, his attorneys appealed
the case to the state pardon board, and
tnat body commuted the sentence as
to the chaingang, but increased the
fine from $lO0 to $3.50.
Judge Sparks now holds that the
court costs Of 500 or more should be
paid by Ponder and this is the point

specify that Ponder should pay the
costs Of the court but increased the
nne to $3.50, all of which is to go to
