AFTER THE PHILLIES.
Quaker City Club May Be Purchased
by Magnate Dreyfuss.

1t is not without the range of probability
that the Philadelphia ball club QimiteO will
change hands between now and the date
set for the meeting of the National League
at Cincinnati-Monday next.
President Harry C. Pulliam of the Ma
tional League. President Barney Dreyfuss
Of the Pittsburg National League club and
Max Fleischman. one Of the owners of the
Cincinnati National League club. were In
Philadelphia yesterday endeavorlng to per-
feet the details of the plan by which the
control Of the Philadelphia club will pass
from the present owners.
Whether these gentlemen propose to pur-
chase the club for themselves or for par
ties whom they represent-parties who Will
be in sympathy with what is now the domi-
nant faction of the National League-couid
not be learned. But in either event, tae
fact remains that they are after the club,
and with every prospect Of securing it.
For some time past, so 1t Is said. Treas
urer John 1. Rogers has had an option on
the stock held by President A. ]. Reach
and Mr.. Grafley, minority stockholder.
Messrs Reach and Grafley between them
own 80 of the $50 shares of the club. The
other 100 shares are owned by Col. Rogers.
Mr.. Dreyfuss has been materially wfsed
up regarding base ball since the day that
cold schedule on him, and even before he
completes this deal he will have to be
shown something. 1t Is good betting that
he will not enter into the deal unless he
secures full half interest at least. To do
this, he will have to obtain twenty-five of
Col. Rogers shares in addition to those
he'd by Messrs. Reach and Grafiey
1t is not thought that Mr.. Dreyfuss wants
the club for himself. but for number of
Philadelphia friends. He has unlimited
backing. one of the richest distilling COM
panies in Louisville being willing to go on
his bond for any amount.
The deal, If 1t Is made. will not involve the
transfer of the ground. which Is owned
jointly by Messrs. Reach and Rogers. Mr..
Reach estimates the value of the ground at
$500 ,O00-that Is, he would not take less
than $4,000 for his half.

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Two Favorites in Front for the Third
Time This Week.

There was big crowd of regulars out
at the New Orleans races yesterday. The
program was an improvement over that of
Tuesday in the way Of class. For the third
time this week two favorites finished first,
Stratton II and Old Hutch saving the talent.
The Engish-bred gelding Stratton II was
much the best in the six and one-half fur
longs selling, and he was well handled by
Jockey WINFIELD. He had to run around
his field on the stretch turn, but won clev-
erly by two lengths. The Caxton was sec
ond and Automaton third.
A. good two-horse race was spoiled by
Jockey Hoar's miserable handling OF Fed
eral in the mile race. which brought togeth-
er Old Hutch. with 102; Federal, with 1O9
and Major Tenny. with 90 Aratoma also
started, but he didn't figure In the calcuia-
tons nor In the running. Old Hutch was
made favorite at TOTO and was backed
down to l to 2. He made all his own run
ming with Aratoma In close attendance on
sunerance for the first half. Federal
moved up at the threezeighths and brought
Old Hutch to drive above the eighth pole.

played his second game in the sweepstakes
pool tournament at the Montauk Academy
in Brooklyn, and this time he won. He was
In better form than when he met Stoft In
the opening game and took Thomas Burns
of New York into camp without much trou-
ble At one period he dropped the balls
into the holes at a rapid rate and made the
highest run SO far of the tournament--422
It was fast and finished pool.
Burns did better toward the last part Of
the game, but was too far behind to se-
riously threaten his opponents advantage

The Jolly Fat Men bowlers Of the Dis

last night. and as a result defeated the
Saengerbund team in three straight games.
This contest should have taken place last
week. but was postponed by mutual con-
sent. The jolly Fat Men are now leading
the League by fair margin. with the Car
rolls their closest opponents. Tommy Har-
low was in good form last night, and In the
first game knocked over 30 pins, which
was the best record of the evening Miller
of the Saengers ran up score Of 1856 in the
same game. and it was the best individual
work Of the team.

CAROLS Won Three.

The Golden Eagles of the District League
went up to the Carroll Institute alleys for
game with the home team. but came
away without a scalp. as the CAROLS won
all three games right off the reel. The first
game resulted SS4 to T75; the second, 800 to
$780, and the third, 1914 to 756. The group
of onlookers was large and considerable en-
thusiasm was displayed over the many
fine shots of the different players.
Engraving Bureau Defeated Treasury.
In the Departmental League, the Engrav-
ing Bureau and Treasury teams came to-
gether last night, the former capturing all
three games rolled. Both teams hung up
high scores, but the Bureaus were going so
fast as to almost sweep the Treasury bowl
ers off their feet. In the first game Lord
of the victorious team hung up score of
224, and it was the topper of the even
