The meeting was called to order at p. m. yesterday by President Pull liam At the afternoon session the Brush injunction. against the peace agreement was declared invalid. The night session was devoted to consider ing the joint peace agreement section by section, and the vote stood 6 to 2 in committee of the whole on all of" the first sections, to which no opposition whatever had been expected. The New York and Brooklyn clubs said they were not opposed to those sections, ex- cept that they were interwoven in a compact to which they were opposed as whole. Y

New Conditions for Charter Oak $1o,-
 GOO Stake. %@

f
 Andy Welsh announced yesterday that the Charter Oak S1O,0O0 stake at Hartford would this year be competed for under novel conditions. The idea is in line with the experiments which were found successful in heightening the interest in small events last sea- son and is determined upon in response to popular demand to applE the new principles to some of the more import ant stakes. Jssg~
 The Charter Oak has become histor- ic as three in- five event, but the next race will be three Meats of one mile each So that will be an object to win each heat $1.5o0 twill go to the winner and $500 to the second horse.s This will leave a balance of $4, ,O00A which will be divided ~ among the horses leading in the summary as fol lows: First $2,Opa: second. 5000; third, 5000; fourth, Oess In case two or more horses are tied for positions in the summary those tied will race again for the money, otherwise the race will end at three heats. The en- trance fee will be 5 per cent, but con- trary to custom, no CT trance fees will be deducted from winners.
 Similar conditions wills prevail for the Ohio purse at the Cincinnati grand circuit meeting, in which MT. Welsh is interested. W

 Lowell can't afford to lose winning team.-A false hope, probably nothing more, Brockton.-Joe Fox wants to stay, Jean, Lewis and Hart also like Lowell, while Tommy Holderness and Tibbitts like the city so well they wish they had been born here. Unless all signs fail they will finish the season in the Spindle city for Lowell has great deal of sporting pride.- Lowell Citizen.
 It. is understood that there will be two roller polo leagues in the west next year. There is little doubt but what Parsons will own one of them. The managers of the present league are now getting ready for the coming of Parsons next month, and it is under stood that the rinkss have been chained to the ground, while each of the play CTS will have body guard.
 Fred Iklobedanz has been dropped as a referee in the American league, and in his place has been appointed Mul Smith, the old time Brockton center

Don't be alarmed, "Monte,'' this isn't Elwood or Muncie.-Richmond Item.

A Coterle of New York Sports Are
 Knocking the Game-Spike Sullivan
 to Have Another Battle-Two One
 Round Battles in Middletown-Jim
 Corbett Has Accepted an Ot1er.
 If present plans do not fail, the Ter ry McGovern and Young Corbelt box ing exhibition, so long deferred, will be held the l7th of March berore the Scituate Athletic club, in Scituate, R.. l.
 Plans for pulling off the bout in Rhode Island have been maturing for the past week, but have been guarded with great secrecy. Nobody has been taken into confidence by the club man agers, with the exception of Franklin F. Owen, who is attorney for the Scit- uate club. Lawyer Owen has been consulted regarding the advisability Of holding the bout in that state, and has given as his opinion that so long as the men conf1ne themselves to boxing they are perfectly safe in meeting in Rhode Island. The laws of the state are to the effect that boxing contests licensed by the town council, are al- lowable. The town council of Scitu- ate has been granting such licenses to the Scituate Athletic club for the past three months, and everything has been run within the full letter and meaning of the law. For the last three meet ings deputy sheriffs have occupied ringside seats, and have found nothing that they considered against the law or bordering on the prize fighting game
 The manager of the Scituate club went to New York Saturday night and consulted the managers of the two boxers. Sam Harris acted for Me Govern, while Harry Pollok did the talking for Young Corbett. The lat ter was present at the meeting himself, but let his manager do the heavy thinking. The meeting was held in the Lafayette baths on University place, and lasted about two hours. Harris and Pollok both wanted to get down to business and claimed that they had articles signed to meet as soon as a place for holding the con- test could be secured. They both have heavy forfeits posted and have given the club one week to close the deal and post forfeit to guarantee its ability to carry off the exhibition.
 After the very harmonious meeting with the managers, the Scituate repre- sentative went to the Bartholdi hotel, and while there meta we'll known New York sporting man, who explained that he knew the reasons behind the stop ping of the McGoyern4 Corbett bout in other states. This man claimed that he knew of three men who had been promised part of the profits accru- ing from the bout between the two boxers, held in Hartford, Conn,

NATIONAL LEAGUE IN SESSION.
Hints That Clubs That Object to
 Peace May Be Thrown Out.


 Peace May Be Thrown Out.
 Cincinnati, Jan 2O-The conference of the National league began yester- day afternoon with the arrival of John T. Brush, N. Ashley Lloyd and Secre- tary Fred Knowles of the New Yorks, Harry vonderhorst and Charles Eb- bets of the Brooklyn club, A. H. Soden and William Conant, representing the Bostons, and James Hart of the Chi cago club. Frank De Haas Robinson and his brother Stanley for the St Louis club and Barney Dreyfuss for the Pittsburgs have been here since Sunday. The local club had strong representation in August Hermann and Mayor Fleischmann. .'S ..a'
 It was after, 3 o'clock when Presi- dent Pulliam called the meeting to or der in rooms 100 and 102 or the Grand hotel From the onset the meeting was characteristic of the fact<that the clubs which are for peace are deter mined to do their utmost to have the peace compact ratified. It is assured that the peace compact will receive the majority of the votes of the National league.
 President Pulliam opened the meet ing with the assurance that the injunc- tion obtained by Brush will not be sus- tained. s
 A motion to make the meeting pub lie one was lost. After the doors of the conference chamber had been o'clock. when the meeting adjourned @4l, 1Nrs In1I ,f1 as to the proceedings of the afternoon session further than that the different resolutions were hotly argued. .a
 The injunction case was discussed at length; Hermann fully explained his stand and showed that the pub lished reports sent from here that he contemplated quitting the National league and joining issues with the American league were absolutely with out foundation. He explained al length the transactioD. by which he purchased the Cincinnati team, which clearly convinced all that such a move as. quitting was never dreamed of Other matters were discussed al length, letters read and contents dis cussed. &
 After recess of about one hour and half for dinner the magnates .reas- sembled in their apartments. It was the first meeting at which President Pulliam has presided and he impressed those about him with the fact that so long as he sits in the chair of the National league he will assert his rights as president and do his duty. While the magnates did not care to say anything about what might hap pen, it will not be at all surprising if New York is thrown out of the league i'm the event of that club insisting on standing against peace. The Brook lvn club is in the same position. Botf clubs can be spared by those which favor peace, and while no threats have been made there is just a possi' bility of such action being taken if nc other method will convince the New York men that they are on the wrong side of the fence
