No Further Developments in

President Postal cOntemplates going
slowly in the negotiations for the sale
OF the Washington Baseball Club. as he
is to remain in the city several days

This morning Mr.. Postal said that II the
club was TO be sold he would dispose
OF his interests to those who already
hold interests
From present indications he will hold
on. though. He is not hankering for a
sale. though IL IS his opinion that the
club would fare better in the hands Of
local capitalists, as they would be able
to devote more time 10 its welfare than
he can. notwithstanding the fact that
Mr. Postal has done everything in his
power for the bettPrment OF the team
His efforts have shown good results in
many respects, toe. He has gotten to

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Feb. I2.-The

5ers TO be a factor in the contest.
There is no assurance that the East

In fact. It is said by number OF prOmi-
nent Western bowIers that the Fidelia
team Of New York city. which captured
the championship at Buffalo last year,
used a loaded ball.
Two hve-men teams from BnEalo. one
from Syracuse. two from Cleveland. and
two individual bOwiers from New York
constitute the Eastern contingent
There are in all 952 entries. so that the

NEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE DAWN THE WORLD OF Sport
OPENING OF DOG SHOW
At MADISON SQUARE
Notable Decrease in Number of Boston
SpanieIs.

NEW YORK. Feb. 12-The twenty
seventh annual bench show Of the West
minister Kennel Club was opened yes
terday in Madison Square Garden. with
l. $50 dogs on view. The Judging was be-
gun early. The first classes called were
ST Bernards. Newfoundlands, aud toy
dogs.
The decrease in number of Boston ter
riers and beagles' was evident. as was
the increase in French bulldogs and
English toy spaniels. The cause Ior
the decrease in Boston terriers is doubt
less owing to the lack OF desire on tho
part Of owners and breeders to compete
with specimens with which they know
they have no chance OF winning.
Last year the best dogs-the prize win
ers-were far and away the best that
had been shown in years. but the dogs
which did not win were a poor lot. 50
the owners have decided not 10 fill up
the benches this year with animals that
have no chance of winning The de-
crease i'm beagles is due largely TO the
fact that the dog was Over-shown last
wear. and each owner has sent in only
his best this year The French bulldogs
are a fine lot. and there are many Of
them. The English toy spaniels are hav-
ing a vogue just now, and the exhibit
this year is a remarkably good one.

A DAILY NUISANCE.
A Simple Remedy Which Will Interest
CataI-h Sufferers.

In its earlier stages catarrh is more OF
a nuisance than a menace 10 the general
health. but sooner or later the disease
extends 10 the throat. bronchial tubes
and even TO the stomach and intestines-
CatarTh is essentially a disease OF the
mucous membrane, the local symptoms
being a profuse discharge OF mucus.
stOppage OF the nOstrils. irritation in
throat. causing coughing, sneezing. gag
ging and frequent Clearings OF the throat
and head
The usual treatment by local dcuches.
snufIs. saIves, etc, often gives tempo
rary relief. but anything like a cure can
only be obtained by a treatment which
removes the catarrhal faint from the
blood and the disappearance OF the in
Illumination from the mucous surfaces.
4 new remedy which meets these re-
quirements and which so far has been
remarkably successful in curing ca
tarrh is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
These tablets act upon the blood and
mucous membranes only. They can
hardly be called a secret patent medi-
cine as they are composed OF such val
liable remedies AZ Blood Root, Hydras-
tin. Red Gum. and similar cleansing an
tiseptics. which cure by eliminating from
the blood and mucous surfaces the ca
tarrhal poison

Or. Bement states that the internal
treatment for catarrh is rapidly taking
the place OF the old plan OF dOuching and
local application and further says that
probably the best and certainly the SAT-
est remedy AZ present on the market is
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. as no secret
is made CT their composition and all the
really efficient remedies for Catarrh are
contained in this tablet"
Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tablets

your druggist. and il he is honest he will
tell you there is no safer more palat-

FORMER CHAMPION DE ORC
DISCUSSES GAME OF POOL

The former professional pool player
De Gro. thinks pool is played much bet
ter now than fifteen years ago. In a
comparison OF the game as played at
present and that time ago he says:
They play pool better now than If
teen years ago. The expert players
know more combination shots. more
about position play. and keep a general
run Of the game better than they used 10.
Fifteen years ago the pool players
thought they were doing well TO run
eight balls. but now II they don't get
the whole fifteen in one inning they are
dissatisfied with themselves"
One point in which pool excels is in
planning ahead. The ordinary player can
figure ahead at least two balls. while
10 figure ahead for position on six balls
is no great trick for the expert. and they
have often, when tie balls are broken
and scattered about the table. mapped
out position fer seven and eight shots
and carried out their plans De Orc
once made q wager that he could call
eleven balls beforehand. and when the
bet was accepted he pocketed the eleven
balls just IN the order he said he
would
The experts nowadays" continued De
ORC. have the trick OF smashing into
the balls down finer than they ever did.
You don't see them giving the bunch
one hard smash any more and scatter
Ing them all over the table, but when
a chance comes for a break they get into
the bunch Just hard enough to loosen
up some OF the balls and know where
they orC gclug.
In the matter OF execution, ] should
say pool rs a harder game than billiards
II requires a sharper eyssight and more
calculation. Pool is more game OF
tsctics than billiards. In billiards the
stroke Is far more important than I'm
pool. II you haven't got the stroke you
can't play the game AZ an illustration,
II Schaefcr were trying 20 teach a man
to make a shot in billiards, and that
man didn't have the stroke. he might try
for hours without catching the point;
but there Is not shot on the table in
pool that could not teach a man In an
hour "

CONNIE MACK WILLING
TO PLAY PITTSBURG
VIII Not Accept Wager,
However.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 12-Colonel
Dreyfus' acceptance OF Connie Mack's
challenge for a series OF inter-league
baseball games between the Athletics.
as the champions OF the American
League. and Pittsburg. as the cham
pions of the National League. was re-
ceived with great pleasure by the genial
Quaker manager yesterday. The latter
said that he would be only too willing
to play the Pittsburg team series OF
seven games just previous 20 the oeen-
ing OF the season, and he did not think
there would be any hitch over the ar
rangement OF the games. The offer OF
a $1,000 side bet Will. however, not be
taken. but If the Pjttsburg magnate Is
very anxious to wager any money on the
result of the games, Connie is willing TO
tell him where he can place it. and in
any quantity he likes.
with regard to the rumor that a series
Of spring games would not be a fair
test. Mack said
THE spring is as fair a time as any.
II is foolish 10 say that the players are
not in shape. and cannot do themselves
Justice. Personally, I think the teams
would be on a more even footing at this
period of the year than later. Take, for
instance. any OF the summer months. and
although you may find one team playing
at the top of it's form. the other is more
than likely TO be passing through a Sc
ries of difficulties. This has been par
ticuIarly noticed in the Temple series.
When the champions OF the National
League formerly played for the Temple
Cup It was apparent TO anybody familiar
with the game OF baseball that the form
displayed was invariably below that
shown just previous TO the end Of the
season. and If this proposed series was
arranged as set of post-season games,
either the Athletics or Pittsburg would
be practically sure Of suffering from a
slump.
Mr.. Dreyfus is perfectly aware that
am not a betting man. and must posi-
lively refuse TO entertain his PROPOSE
ton for a side bet OF $1,000. In this
matter I can also speak for Mr. Shibe
as I know perfectly well that he would
not allow the games to be played II
the Philadelphia club had TO put up a
certain sum OF money as a wager
Neither OF us. however. objects to him
making a personal bet with friend or
an acquaintance over the result, and ]
think I could introduce him to gentle
men who would be willing to stake ten
times this amount on the Athletics.
Regarding the dates. ! should prefer the
games TO be played from April IL 70
April 70. This would give two Saturdays
and the five week days intervening"
Connie Mack was particularly hopeful
over the outcome Of the games. and said
that he had every confidence in his
teams ability to win. and further stated
that he thought the general public has
always underestimate the playing
strength OF the Athletics
IF 1 did not expect to win these
games. I certainly should not arrange
them. and 7 think the same now as
did at the end OF last year. which was
that the Athletics as a baseball team
was superior TO any aggregation Of base
ball players at present in this country"
