TO INVADE EUROPE.
College Athletes to Contest in Games
in Foreign Cities.

1t has been practically settled that George
w. Orton one Of Pennsy's famous runners.
will manage a team of American college
athletes which will make an attempt to
carry away English championship Ifonors
during the coming summer.
The financial end Of the affair Is such that
the proposed visit will not be a money
making scheme or pot-hunting expedition,
the necessary amount having been promised
by an adrnirer of American athletics, Mr.. E.
NJ Cregar, who IS one of PhiladelphiaS
foremost cricketers. This gentleman will
also accompany the athletes. and 1t Is his
desire that a representative team make the
jurney.
Among the men who will most likely make
the trip are Duffey, Jones. Moulton, Grant,
Maloney of Chicago De Witt and athletes
of such caliber.
The sanction OF the Amateur Athletic
Union has been asked, and Mr.. Orion prom
ises that the team will uphold the honor of
the United States In real American fashion
If anything approaching expense guarantees
can be obtained in Paris. Vienna, Berlin
Stockholm or Copenhagen the athletes will
visit these points, the idea of the manager
being to stimulate interest In the Olympian
games here.
Joint meetings with foreign organizations
will enable continental athletes to raise
money enough to insure their appearance
here in a series of International contests
Mr. Orion says that the subject was first
preached to him In England last year, when
several men high up in the Amateur Ath-
letiC Union circles asked why representa-
tive team Of athletes did not make the trip.
He was assured that 1t would be Of lasting
good to athletes on both sides OF the water
held her in 1895, when the English were so
signally defeated.

NATIONAL LEAGUE MEETING.
New York and Brooklyn May Be Drop
ped for Blocking Peace.

The death knel OF the dictatorship of
John T. Brush and Andrew Freedman was
sounded at the afternoons session Of the
National League magnates at the Grand
Hotel. Cincinnati, yesterday. 1t was also
made plain that the peace compact will be
ratified.
While none of the magnates cared to say
anything about what might happen. 1t will
not be at all surprising II New York is
thrown out OF the league In the event Of
that Club insisting on standing against
peace The Brooklyn club Is In the same
position.
Both clubs can be spared by the clubs
which favor peace. and while threats have
been made, there Is just a possibility Of
such action being taken II no other method
will convince the New York owners that
thay are on the wrong side of the fence.
1t was after o'clock when the meeting
was called to order by President Pulliam.
The New York. Brooklyn and Boston club
representatives were delayed en- route, and
did not arrive until after 2 o'clock. Those
present were: The New York club. John T.
Brush. Fred Knowles: Brooklyn club, Har-
ry Won der Horst. Charles Ebbetts: Boston
club A. j. Soden. William Conant; Chicago
club James A. Hart: st. Louis club, Frank
De Haas and Stanley NJ. Robson; Pitts
burg and Philadelphia clubs, Barney Drey-
fus; Cincinnati club, August Hermann and
Julius F1eiechmann.
From the outset it was plain that the
clubs which are for peace are determined
peace contract ratified. Hardly had the
minutes been read than motion was made
and carried to change that portion of them
which made Col John T. Rogers the author

Of the peace resolution. and the name OF
John T. Brush was substituted.
This done. President Pulliam submitted
a letter received from Col. Rogers OF the
he protested against the New York club
signing Delehanty. whom he claimed to be
the property of the Philadelphia club. On
motion of President Robson. which was
seconded by Julius Fleischman, the letter
was read. The letter shows plainly that
the New York club has a fiimsy case In the
Pennsylvania courts.
The very man who. 1t Is claimed by the
New York club. was taken from 1t by the
terms Of the peace compact, stands in con-
tempt in the court where that proceeding
is scheduled to take place. In the eyes of
the law Delehanty is the property of the
Philadelphia club and New York cannot
play him. This proved a hard blow for Mr..
Brush
President Pulliam opened the meeting
with the insurance that the injunction OBJ
tanned by Mr.. Brush Is not valid. A mo-
ton to make the meeting a public one was
lost. and the members of the press were not
invited inside the conference chamber.
After the door Of the conference chamber
were compelled to lounge around the corri-
DORIS ready to catch UP any scrap of news
that might be given out. but were disap-
pointed. for the doors did not open until
about o'clock when the meeting adjourn
ed for dinner. Nothing could be learned as
to the proceedings of the afternoon session
further than that the different resolutions
were holly argued.
The injunction case was discussed at
length. Hermann fully explained his stand
and showed that the published reports sent
from here that he contemplated quitting
the National League and join issues with
the American League were absolutely with
out foundation. He explained at length the
transaction by which he purchased the Gin
cinnati team. which clearly convinced all
that such a move as quitting was never
at length. letters read and contents dis
cussed.
After recess of about one hour and a
half for dinner, the magnates reassembled
IN their apartments. and the good work
taken up where 1t was dropped at dinner
time

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Four Favorites Reward the Talent by
Winning.

" AA0luk.
The stewards and judges caused the one
ripple of excitement at the Crescent City
Jockey Club track yesterday afternoon. The
former disqualified Belvino for second
money in the third race and awarded the
position to Lady Alberta. The judges then
placed Ben Frost third, whereas the posi-
ton should have been awarded to Our Jes-
sic, as she finished in front Of the placed
horse.
Belvino was a Is to 10 favorite for the
race. six and one-half furlongs dash. In
the early stages Of the game he made the
running. AT one stage of the contest he
was five lengths in front, but tired badly
nearing the homestretch, and swerved re-
peatedly in the last furlong, just as Lady
Alberta began her final effort.
The favorite lasted long enough to beat
Lady Alberta out a half length for second
money, Bard Of Avon securing the decision
easily by length. On complaint of Jockey
Scully that Lady Alberta had been inter-
fered with, the stewards disqualified Bel
asked the judges the name of the horse
that finished fourth. The latter replied:
Ben Frost" The stewards then awarded
him third money. AS a matter of fact Our
Jessie finished fourth, nearly a length in
front of Ben Frost.
The track was heavy and uncertain, but
despite this drawback four favorites, well
backed, won. The successful choices were:
Russellton. 2 to 1; Rankin. II to 5: Mann
zelle, 8 to 5. and Potheen II to 90
1t is reported here that Joe Ullman and
"Sol'' Lichtenstein will form a partnership
and make book" on large scale at the
eastern tracks next season. Ullman and
kid Weller were associated last year and
handled so much money that the firm was
known as the "big store" In conjunction

The suburbanites showed decided improve

newed squirting they will soon shake off for
good the lethargy which has surrounded
them since their entry into District League
ranks. The Fats played good tenpins,
bowling each time in the 500 class. and by
taking the three games have clinched their
hold on the first position and seem cut out

reduction from $40 900 to S., OOO.- That would
seem to be an unkind and unnecessary re-
duction in appropriation were it not for the
fact that Of the $4,000 appropriated for
last year large sum remains unexpended
and 1t is deemed that this S. 900 appropri-
ated this year will give practically all the
new books which the library can get into
place to be made use of.
For paving city streets we have made a
reduction from $150,000 to $4,000. That re-
auction Is based upon this idea: We found
py personal examination that many of the
OF the pavements from Belgian blocks or
granite blocks to asphalt. Under all the
circumstances we concluded that such
changes were not imperative and could be
dispensed with, and that $4,000 would meet
the real demands Of the District for the
paving of new streets.
"On county roads and streets the reduc-
ton Is from $151 900, the amount appropri-
ated last year, to $54, 800 this year. This
will furnish such improvements as we deem
Imperative. We went over the schedule
carefully and provided for all the improve
ments that we deemed imperatively neces-
sary for the coming year.
The appropriation for new school build
ings Is reduced from 1924 900 in round num-
bers to S135, 600 In round numbers This Is
due to the fact that we made such large
appropriations for new school buildings in
last years bill and the bill of the preceding
year that this sum of S155, 900 will, In our
judgment. be ample to meet the growing
needs of the District. In fact, it gives. in
general, all that is estimated for. namely,
two eight-room buildings. at a cost of $780,
00O one four-room addition to an existing
building. at cost of $4,000, and $4,000
toward the erection of the Business High
School.
Another item on which great reduction
| was made was for interest and sinking
| fund, the reduction being in round numbers
| $23S.O00 This Is due to the fact that the
outstanding Indebtedness of the District in
per cent and per cent bonds has been
extinguished. or will be at the end of this
year, so that there will remain out only the
