Events-Benning Entries.

The negotiations now pending for the
sale OF the Washington base ball club to
the local capitalists have taken q definite
shift from that heretofore In line and one
OF the largest capitalists Of the city Is now
expected to join forces with those who
were dealing with President Postal last
week. AS yet nothing definite as to names
and amount Of money that is to be invested
has been made public, but 1t Is expected
that positive information will be given out
this evening. This capitalist has let 1t be
known that he will go Into the venture II
the circle Of shareholders in the club can
be contracted SO as to place the holdings
in the hands of few persons. By this
move 1t Is believed that friction will be
avoided in the matter Of running the cub.
A call for meeting of the stockholders
or the Washington club at the office of
counsel, Wilton ]. Lambert, has been sent
out for this afternoon at 4 o'clock. At this
meeting it is expected that something deIi-
mite will be decided upon. The stockholders
will either increase their holdings in the
club and purchase from Mr.. Postal. or will
relinauish their stock and let in the CAPT
talist who stands ready to furnish the
money asked by the present owner.
The report that Vice President Jacobson
and Eugene Cochran were bidders for the
club, and that they had good prospect of
acquiring the property, was denied this
morning. Both gentlemen are amply able
to take the property. but their other busi
ness interests will prevent them from buy
ing the club.

TENNIS RULES CHANGED.
Doherty Brothers to Play in This
Country Next Summer.

At the annual meeting Of the United
States National Lawn, Tennis Association.
held at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. New
York. on Saturday night. the changes in the
rules for Internal ionai matches. proposed
by the English Association. were consid-
cred After discussion,the changes were re-
ferred to the executive committee for ac-
ton.
Only one of the changes was regarded as
very important. and that was to provide
for days rest in the program in case the
same players are engaged in both singles
and doubles.
This would seem II indicate that 1t is a
pretty sure thing that the Doherty BROTH
ers will compete in another international
match with Americans this summer and
take part In both the singles and doubles.
It Is an open secret that the PIN was used
in the International singles last summer
because Manager Collins of the English
team was afraid to risk both Dohertys In
the singles and then have to put two tired
men against fresh men in the doubles.
One OF the minor changes put through in
order to make the English and American
rules more alike was a new wording for
the service rule. It settled the disputed
point as to whether the server could legiti-
mately raise both feet from the ground
