JOHNSON INSISTS THAT HE HAS
GROUNDS IN NEW YORK.
Favorites Won at New OrleansHKirk

Pool Tourney.

There were two sets of games in the Dis
trict Bowling League last night-the reg
ular scheduled match at, the Golden Eagle
alleys. where the Saengerbund team COM
peted with the home players and the game
at Carroll Institute which had been post
poned from Monday night. At the latter
place the jolly Fat Mems team played. In
both matches the honors went exclusively
to the visiting teams, neither the CAROLS
nor the Eagles being able to capture
single game. The scores were all good, nu-
merous nine hundreds appearing in the
score books, the Eagles even losing game
with 915 for total. That the scores in the
District League are much higher than ever
before is self-evident fact, for where
teams formerly felt that Dame Fortune had
been hard on them when they lost at $50
it is now recognized that this total must
usually be exceeded If a winning Is to be
expected
AT Carroll institute the games were rather
closely contested, the visitors by no means
having an easy time in achieving the de-
feat OF the institute team. The scores were
universally good and abounded in good
pays. Harlow made the high score of the
match when he bowled 235 in the last game

Billy Phyle who pitched for Chicago and
New York in the National League, has been
signed by the Milwaukee club Of the Amer

he Is too lazy to keep up his pitching.
Ned Hanlon. one Of the members OF the

SENATOR'S CHANCES.
Should Finish High Up With Dele
hanty on the Team.

The Washington correspondent OF sport
ing Life has the following In this weeks
paper:
1.-THE Washington team, to take place
in the pennant contest somewhat near pro-
portonal to its batting strength, will depend
largely upon the pitchers, and the final out
come Of the Delehanty matter. Del, and
Del. alone, is needed to round out the team,
and the proposition to get rid Of him is gen.
orally regarded as ridiculous; but there Is
still q possibility that he may be switched
behind the freight house by reason of f1nan-
cial complications, The sad forebodtngs OF
your able and interesting Detroit CORE
spondent as to Del future usefulness here
are very touching especially when you stop
to think how nicely he would plug the va
cancy in the outfied Of the animals (what
are they-wolverettes or tiger!nasD. Ed. 8
friends will stand by him and he will re-
ceive the glad hand. Narrowness and pro-
vincialism are not characteristics OF WASH
ington crowds, and bygones are bygones.
1.-The intimation that Patten and Lee had
an Off year in 1902 should not have been
made. Patten suffered from boils. pitched
when he should have been in bed; was often
a victim Of Monaghan support, and yet he
managed to win a majority of his games.
Lee had to be used in right field. Nuf ced.
With the present pitching staff. which the
astute Comskey is said to have pronounced
the most promising Of last years vintage, at
tielI peSt, the oeHdtoiS d PciiioLiI Po'-
siblity and should finish 1, g. 3-that is,
with Delehanty; without him they will be
lucky to finish fourth. Manager LOTUS has
another pitcher and outfeder under cover,
but their identity has not been revealed.
1.-The finish may be something like this:
Cleveland. Washington, 8 Philadel-
phia or Boston, New York, st. Louis
or Chicago, Detroit. Three or four teams
are so evenly matched that an estimate Of
their relative strength Is almost impossible,
but let it go at that, with the understand
ing that fine work by Comiskey in rounding
up additional talent, added to his splendid
array Of pitchers, unusually promising new
slabmen and ability to develop team work,
may land him much farther up the line.
Every one will wish him success. New
York's great string Of pitchers, too. may
land her in first place, or near it. An even
closer ra ce than last years is promised with
at least six teams possible winners"

aEoRaErowN's BIG MEET.
Crack Relay Team From Princeton
Will Be q Feature.

That the fifth annual indoor athletic car
nival of the Georgetown University Athletic
Association will be al great success seems
already assured. Manager Herman and d.
rector Thompson are busy receiving and
answering inquiries about the meet from
colleges and schools In all parts OF the
country. Among the latest institutions to
signify their Intentions Of being represented
at the meet are Princeton, Columbia, Cor
nell, Notre Dame and Williams. These five
institutions will In all probability send relay
teams besides men from the ffty-yard and
the distance runs. Princeton's relay team
ia one of the fastest In the country, and
should prove to be very popular IN Wash
ington because Of the large resident Prince
ton alumni. Columbia will race Cornell. Az
each has a good team the race should prove
q fast one. Notre Dame will probably race
Williams.
The prizes to be awarded at the meet are
the handsOmest that could be obtained, Tho
first prises will be gold watch fobs with
pendant hanging from the chain; on the
diverse side Of the pendant will be the
seal OF Georgetown with large diamond In
the center. while on the reverse side will
be the name Of the winner and the event
for which the fob was competed, The sec
ond prize will be OF silver with an emerald
inlaid. The third prize Will be bronze with
ruby.

been congratulated upon the dispetch with

fused by the Coney Island Jockey Club

Racing. the entry OF e. J. Arnold's bay
horse Gold Heels. five years, by The Bard
Heel and Toe. for the Suburban, 1903 has

Fellows said. to the methods Of Gold Heels
owners. The Coney Island Jockey Club was
opposed to "get-rich-quick' firms.
At the discretion of the secretary of the
jockey club or Of the stewards, and without
notice. the entries of any person or the
transfer Of any entry may be refused.
Gold Heels Is the property Of e. J. Ar
mold & Co., turf Information company Of

& Co. advertise extensively for persons to
invest in their business. promising to repay
the money at the rate Of 2 per cent week.
The Brighton Beach and Brooklyn Jockey
clubs have not refused the entry of last
years champion, but 1t is possible that both
will do so. The Jockey club It is said, will
suggest such action.

nier and with prominent American chauf-
feurs to take part in automobile races at

sum had he not been so cock-sure that they
would sign with him for next season

CANS AFTER o'BRIEN.
Novel Proposition for a six-Round
Bout

Joe Cans has sent to: "Pfiladelphia jack
O'Brien the most novel challenge in the
history Of the prize ring. Cans. who is
the lightweight champion Of the world,
offers to fight O'Brien in Philadelphia. In
fighting trim Cans weighs 1913 pounds and
O'Brien in like condition would scale about
100 pounds. making disparity of weight
Of nearly twenty-seven pounds.
The challenge is for a handicap match.
Cans proposes that the two fight for six
rounds, o. rien to undertake to knock out
Cans in that time. If O'Brden should knock
out Cans O'Brien Is to have the entire
purse that Is to be given by club that Is to
offer 70 per cent Of the gross gate receipts
as q purse. On the other hand, should Cans
remain conscious at the end OF six rounds
Cans Is to be declared the winner OF the
purse. Cans also coolly proposes to try to
knock out O'Brien.
To these proposals an answer has been
received from O'Brien that he II now suf-
fering with a sore hand and cannot talk
business, but that he will consider the prop
osition on the recovery OF his nit propeller.
Cans Is signing for new champions to
conquer. There remains no man In his class
able. on his record to make showing
against him, and he must now challenge
even heavy mtddleweights. The man whom
Cams particularly wishes to meet Is Jimmy

PRESIDENT JOHNSON CONFIDENT
Maintains There Are No Changes in
New York Plans

A special from Chicago says that Ban
Johnson was at his Office in that city for
the first time in three weeks. He has
been confined to his home ever since his
return from the Cincinnati peace confer
ence. His leg Is still giving him some
trouble, and he Is walking with the aid
OF a cane. He looks fully forty pounds
lighter than he was when he left for Gin
ciEnati
Il see there are many stories afioat re-
garding the site for the grounds in New
York city," said Ban.
well, we are going in there regardless
of all stories to the contrary, and moth
ing can prevent US. The grounds are as
sured and we will play ball there when
the time comes for the opening games In
the spring.
Il do not know when I will go to New
York. but 1 expect to do SO soon. There
Is quite a bit Of business to be looked
after there-not SO much the grounds prob
lem as other business. The date for the
New York meeting has not been decided
upon, but probably will be held the latter
part OF next month"
President johnson Is waiting to hear
from Barney Dreyfus before calling the
schedule committee meeting The meeting
Is pretty sure to be held in the east to
balance the rules committee meeting here.
When Johnson and the other American
League Ineu IedCu new i OTk InGy WILL con-
tinue certain negotiations of a political
nature. which have been going on for
some time past. 1t can be stated that a
New York syndicate has already made a
proposition to Johnson & Co. for the pos
session of the American League franchise
for that city. and that the syndicate pro-
fesses to have $4,000 in cash with which
to conduct the CLUB The syndicate Is
composed of men who WELD much politi-
cal power both in New York and at AL
bany. and they maintain that without their
backing the American League will find
hard road to travel in the big city
Johnson & Co. do not want any financial
share In the new club. beyond the usual
division of the gate receipts for the visit
Ing clubs. Certain representatives OF the
syndicate are waiting to confer with john
son & Co., and II the deal goes through 1t
will not be at all surprising II the Ameri-
can League secures a site on Manhattan
Island. which has been pronounced by GER
tain persons as Unavailable.

Athletic Scholars to Compete at Con
vettion Hall.

There will be an interscholastio indoor
meet at Convention Hall Saturday. Febru-
airy q. under the auspices Of the Washing
ton High Schools and under the direction of
VIM. Foley, athletic director Of High
Schools Of the District. At recent meet
Ing Of the faculty athletic advisory board
OF the High Schools 1t was decided that 1t
would be more beneficial to athletics in the
schools for the boys to enter an interscho-
lastic meet. The only one sanctioned by
the board for the boys to enter will be the
meet Of February 28.s Heretofore the High
Schools and professional schools boys have
entered In the Georgetown meet. but they
were. OF course, outclassed. and 1t Is. there
fore. expected they will make better
showing in a meet Of their own when all
events will be from scratch.
1t 10 expected that there will be q large
number Of entries from all schools from the
city and also q number from Baltimore and
Philadelphia, where former High School
champion Dick Dear. who is now at the
University Of Pennsylvania. is looking after
the entries. Invitations have also been sent
to schools of Brooklyn and Boston and
from present prospects the venture will be a
decided success. Mr.. Foley Is arranging all
the details. There will be three prizes In
all the events and special prizes for winners
in the relay races.

For the first time in the history Of rae
Ing in New Orleans two horses who fin
ished first were disqualified yesterday, Pay
the Fiddler and Balm of Gilead. O'Neill,
who rode Polly Bixby, had narrow escape
from death. as he was knocked into and
bumped into the fence coming down the
stretch. The crowd in the grand stand wit
messed the humping and as soon as the
horses finished began to cry foul. Pay the
Fiddler was disqualified and Polly Bixby
placed first. IDS
Favorites were the real thing and tho
books were hard hit. In the fifth race Balm
of Gilead. who was heavily played for a
good thing, bumped into Nyx coming down
the stretch and was disqualified for foul

and who finished second. was placed first.
The decision Of the stewards was greeted
with cheers. The track was In much better
shape than at any other time this week.
Although the card was poor one, large
crowd was on hand.
The first race was taken down by st.
Cuthbert. the odds-on favorite. Redfern
was compelled to take him up fifty yards
from the wire to prevent him from bump

finish was only neck Arachue was the

pclitan Golf Association.
The Yountakah Country Club and Lake
wood Country Club were dropped from
membership for non-payment Of dues and

elected, as follows
Mrs. w. Fellows Morgan. president; Mrs

An item Of interest was CLEANED from
the report of the executive committee. 1t
seems that the association some time ago
hit upon the plan Of sending team abroad
to compete with the women Of Great Bril-
tain in a series of international matches.
A committee was appointed to take charge
Of the matter, but all hopes of meet
Ing this year at least were blasted when
the committee reported that 1t would be
impossible to get a team Of strong players
to undertake the journey.
