PROPOSED FOUNTAIN.
Commissioners Have No Control Over
the Location.


The Commissioners have forwarded a re-
port to the Senate District committee on
proposed amendment. by Senator billing
ham to the pending District appropriation
bill reading as follows: For a fountain to
be placed at the intersection of Connecticut
avenue and N street. $1,000, or so much
thereof as may be necessary" They say:
'It is presumed by the Commissioners
that it is intended under the proposed
amendment to locate the fountain in the
triangular space at the intersection Of Con-
necticut avenue and N street. This space
was formed at the time that the streets
surrounding it were improved.
1T is now under the jurisdiction of the
officer in charge Of public buildings and
the Commissioners under authority of sec
ton OF AN act to vest in the Commits
sfoners Of the District of Columbia control
of street parkings in said District" APPROX
ed July /, 1898. which provides for such
transfer by mutual agreement between the
Commissioners and the chief of engineers.
U. s. A. It's status is now the same as
all Of the other public reservations In the
city Of Washington. .s.,.,- -,
THE Commissioners have not estimated
the cost, of such a fountain. as that matter
IS one which appertalns to the officer in
charge OF public buildings and grounds.
The estimated cost Of connecting such a
fountain to the public water main systsm
of the District Of Columbia is abou. 500,
The location of such q fountain, would
undoubtedly prove ornamental to the park,
but the Commissioners do not; think TIE
charge should be made against the reye-
nues Of the District at. the present time.
when they are inadequate to meet the nee
essary expenses Of the District"

Aurel Batonyi, the professional whip who
brought out so many winning high
steppers, is making arrangements to intro
duce next season new style of trotting
races for testing and developing the COM

Classes, with the exception. perhaps of
the small craft, such as sail in the one
design classes. The cruise of the New York

A. watson of Australia for the purchase of

intermediate eight-oared race at the annual
regatta of the association on the Harlem
river on May 30. The gift was made
through Edward Hanlan, Coumbia's row
ing coach, who is a close friend of Mr.
Watson. As there has been no interme-
date race for Fights in the Harlem regattas
Hanlan determined that the prize should go
for such contest. 1t must be won three
consecutive years to become the property of
a crew. Columbia will enter two crews in
the race this year.

BIG PURSE HUNG UP.
Jeffries and Corbett offered $25, 900
to Fight

The Fort Erie Club of Buffalo has decided
to offer purse of $4,000 for a contest be-
tween Champion Jim Jeffries and Jim Cor
belt.
The managers of the club say they do
not think there would be the slightest at
tempt at interference. Many notable bat
ties have taken place at the club-aI of
them invariably clean and well conducted,
and although there is usually an underlined
prejudice against a contest between heavy
weights, it is believed that the well-known
reputation of the club, as well as that of
the two big fellows. would permit of the
bout taking place without any trouble.
Corbett who was seen at Buffalo last
night on his way to Albany, where he per-
forms during the coming week, was delight
ed when he heard of the offer of the Fort
Erie Club.
Surely said he ''Jeffries won't crawl
away from an offer like that If he is at all
anxious to meet me. The Fort Erie boys
go the Hayes Valley Athletic Club 5000
better. and $25, 900 is quite tidy bit of
money to fight for.
LAS Jeffries knows. have two forfeits
up now-eacll of 81, 5oc-for a meeting with
him. 1t is up to him now. Either club
and either offer will suit me, although of
course I should prefer to fight In the east,
especially when better financial induce
ments are offered
Let Jeffres talk business, and I am
ready to meet him more than half way"

ROGERS OPPOSES BRUSH.
Philadelphia Magnate Will Fight New
Workers. Request for Injunction.


From the Philadelphia North American.
John T. Brush's writ of injunction had
two prompt effects. It prevented the clos
Ing of the deal for the sale of the Phila-
delphia club and put Col. John I. Rogers in
position Of opposition to Brush and the
New York club.
The injunction was not confined to Presi-
dent Pulliam alone. With him were named
as defendants all the clubs of the National
League Only Pittsburg and Philadelphia
were served for the reason that only the
officials of these clubs were found within
the jurisdiction of the Pennsylvania courts.
Col. Rogers announced yesterday that he
would oppose the application for an injunc-
ton: At the hearing of the case next
wednesday morning, at 1890 o'clock he
Will be associated with julius Levy of this
city. Mr.. Levy represents Mr.. Dreyfuss,
ana, with his client, held conference with
Col. Rogers yesterday morning Regarding
this meeting. Col. Rogers said:
I'VE will go into court to deny the right
OF Mr.. Brush to dictate how we shall vote
on matters affecting our own prosperity.
Mr.. Brush's action seems to me without
legal warrant. I have not known in my ex-

'Mr. Bush bases his claim on three points
First. the loss of Delehanty, Davis, and
Elberfeld. Second, the recognition of the
right of the National League committee to
grant permission to the American League
to establish team in New York. Third the
provision providing for new schedule to
replace the one already made at the stated
annual meeting of our organiza ton.

claim on Delehanty Is at least as good as
that Of either of the contestants. l do not
consider the admitting of the American
League into New York any violation Of the
issue, our constitution expressly provides
that the schedule can at any time be al
tered or amended by a three-fourths vote.
do not know what action will be taken by
President Hermann and the officials of the
other clubs involved in the restraining or
der. 1t scarcely seems possible to me that
any result can be reached at the ratifica-
ton meeting in Cincinnati on Monday. 1t
is even possible that the meeting will be
postponed, for with Pittsburg and Phila-
delphia enjofned from voting and New York.
Brooklyn and possibly Boston aligned in OPP
position to the new agreement, no binding
action would be possible.
Contrary to our expectation, Mr.. Drey-
fuss and myself did not conclude the sale
of the Philadelphia club. At his request the
option has been extended. He will probably
return to Philadelphia on Wednesday. If
the sale of the Philadelphia club Is not con-
cluded by that time Mr.. Dreyfuss will be
here again before the option terminates"

Comiskey Discusses the Situation.

In an interview last night in Chicago Mr..
Conriskey spoke for the American League
and himself regarding the situation, as
follows:
Andrew Freedman and John T. Brush
finding themselves in a minority in the Ma
tional League, are trying to wreck the
game The injunction Is bluff.
For years this man Freedman has been
playing the same old game of bluff on the
club owners in the National League and
what is more, getting away with it, simply
and solely because he controlled the New
York club. The National League people
weakly allowed Freedman to have his own
way in all matters of legislation, with the
result that they have lost hundreds of
thousands of dollars In the way of profits
and have nothing to show for their folly
save discredited club and management in
New York.
Things have now taken a turn for the
better. The practical and honorable men in
the National League have tired of the New
York boss. and from now on intend to run
their own affairs on common-sense lines.
Il am not betting man, but stand ready
to wager a $I5 suit Of clothes against a
straw hat that this peace treaty between
the American and National leagues will be
ratified at Mondays meeting In Cincin-
natl.
Let me tell you first that every one Of
the eight members of the recent confer
ence was on the level and acted honest
ly and honorably. We were all practical
base ball men. and none of us had the re-
hottest idea of framing up any throw
downs
