FOOT BALL TABoOED,
Commandant at Carlisle Said to Be
Opposed to Gridiron Game,

According to graduate of the Carlisle
Indian School. that institution will not
make any strenuous attempt to maintain
the position that 1t has attained in the
foot ball world heretofore. It Is said that
the commandant in charge Of the school Is
not in sympathy with any kind Of vigorous
athletics and cares not whether the school
has foot ball team that will be able to
cope with the teams Of the universities
One OF the graduates of Carlisle, DR.. Car
los Montezuma. practicing physician. Is
the authority for the statement Dr. East
man. a Sioux Indian graduate of Carlisle
also talks in the same vein. DR.. Montezu-
ma. who Is In Carlisle. says:
1T will be long time before Carlisle has
another foot ball team like the one that
represented the institution in 1898. 1899 and
1900 The commandant is opposed to any
kind OF strenuous athletics.
Foot ball is a great game, and one that
the Indians like. but it will only be in a
limited way that the game will be encour-
aged in the future. The commandant won't
go out among the various Indian nations
and look for giants to take to the university
to build up the team. He does not care
about charging his school in this manner.

Saengerbund Won Three Games From
Business Men.
There were some good scores made in
the District Bowling League match at
the South Washington Business Mems Club
last night. the Saengerbund five taking
Twice the Saengers made strings that were
considerably above 900. and in each game
they were chased by the home team, which
was also bowling in excellent form. But
the Business Men were up against the
same sort OF luck that confronted them
In their match last week with the Golden
Eagles. when the latter won three games
from the South Washington men, though
the Eagles had to make the most phenom-
email scores of the season to effect the
winning. By winning last night the Saen-
gerbund. to some extent, wiped out the
odium Of their recent string Of defeats
at the hands of the Jolly Fat Mems five.
They also hang on to tie at third place
with the Golden Eagles. but they will have
to take good deal Of q brace II they ex-
pect to again land the big silver trophy
which will become theirs for keeps II they
capture 1t this year.
Last night Scheuerman and Laue aid fine
work for the visitors, and they were en-
abled by the splendid scores OF those two
men In the first and second games to get
big totals, though both times the Business
Men were close up, with fine strings. In
the last game the Saengers let down a
bit. and the game was played very closely
throughout, but the home team was still
thirty pins behind at the close. The scores

PULL1AM's WISE WORDS.
Tells of National Leagues Gain by
Peace Conference.

So many contradictory stories have gone
the rounds relative to the recent peace con-
ference that the following interview with
President Pulliam of the National League,
who is In Philadelphia, will not only be
timely, but interesting:
1T was not my intention to discuss the
action of the committee appointed by the
National League. which met like COM
mittee from the American League in Gin
cInnati last Friday. but. owing to the many
erroneous statements that have been sent
forth and the unfair attempt to place our
chairman. Mr.. Hermann, in wrong light,
l think it Is necessary that I should give in
brief Just what the National League,
through its committee accomplished:
First. AS a concession from the Ameri-
can League we secured the recognition Of
the reserve rule-the bulwark Of base ball.
Second The inviolability of players con-
tracts from now on.
Third A non-conficting schedule of
games in cities in which there are two
clubs.
Fourth. The restriction Of territory from
now
In addition to this, 1t was mutually
agreed that uniform system of playing
rules be adopted: also that new national
agreement should be entered into which
would again place base ball upon firm
business basis.
1T has long been recognized that the re-
base ball prosperity, and since its abroga-
ton base ball affairs have been in a cha
otto condition, and the National League in
common with other interests, has suffered.
Under the reserve rule and national agree
ment the National League lived and -four
ished for thirty years, and while 1t has
lived since the abrogation OF both, no one,
no matter how biased and partisan In his
views. will claim that it has ever fourished.
Where order once existed and franchises
had fixed and valuable rating in the finan-
cial world. chaos has developed and a sys-
TEN of brigandage, bad faith and contract
breaking has run riot and threatened the
entire base ball fabric.
The American League is here, and moth
ing the Cincinnati conference did put any
more life into its corporate body than it had
previously.
I'm the matter of New York, the league
committee held, under the assurance of
Mr.. Brush. that it was physical impossi-
bility for the American League to place a
club in New York city. The American
League held that. notwithstanding this.
they were then and for a time previous in
possession Of grounds. and that, If it was
shown afterward that their statement was
untrue. they would ask the consent of the
National League to place club elsewhere
THE committee at the outset agreed to
wipe out the slate for previous years and
two contracts for the season of 1903 Under
this we awarded nine players to the Ma
tional League and six to the American.
The governing idea Of the National
League committee was the restoration OF
the reserve rule and the ending of contract
breaking for the future, and we were WILL
ing to subordinate everything to this We
