would be tie, having the same effect as a
negative vote. When it was announced on
Saturday night that the agreement was
practically final. it was thought that Bar
ney Dreyfus represented Philadelphia as
we'll as Pittsburg, but Col. Rogers and other
Philadelphia interests are reported now as
saying that Dreyfus had no power to bind

What is taken now to be most signifl-
cant declaration is that made by Hanlon,
who says: 1.-The peace agreement cannot
be ratified by majority vote of National
League club owners. The National League
has a constitution which will not allow a
majority to do something distasteful to a
minority
Notwithst anding the adverse reports. Herr
mann and Robson say they are still con-
fident that the agreement will be ratified
Monday. Sodeu Of Boston is counted on
as for ratification, although he may not be
satisfied.
August HERMANN president Of the Gin
cinnau National club, said yesterday in the
queen city thatff the National League did
not ratify the peace pact with the American
League he would get out Of the National
League. j. f.. Bruce, attorney for Presi-
dent Johnson of the American League, said
that IL the National League did not ratify
the peace compact the Cincinnati club
would be taken care of.
If New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and
Boston should refuse to ratify the agree

League resulting in the owners joining the
American League and severing all connec-
ton with the other league.

"THE CHOICE OF ABsALoM."
Advice to Young Man Who Wants to
Take Up Base Ball Career.

The New York Sun Monday published
the following editoria1ly, under the caption
1.-THE Choice of Absalom:"
An anxious parent does the honor Of con-
sulting us in regard to an important topic
of household economy
ITO the Editor Of the Sun-Sir: Ny eldest
son. twenty, Is infatuated with base ball.
I have told him time and time again that
he is foolish and throwing away career.
1t is my wish that he enter the service of
some great corporation and work up to a
big salary. Can you suggest any way OF
influencing his choice? FATHER.
cincinnati. January g."
No man begins to know his business as a
father until he acquires a little diplomacy.
What is the use Of telling a boy that he
foolish? He won't believe you. You only
stiffen his resolve into pigheadedness and
convince him that you're a fool yourself.
Fathers need to be meek. Since the world
began they have been browbeating their
progeny. 1t Is generally admitted that CIV
ilzation Is increasing. Each generation is
better than it's predecessor. Consequently
a son knows, or ought to know, more tnan
his father-Q. e. D.
The boy may be right. Boys are numer-
GUS. and their number Is somewhat in eX-
cess Of that of the big salaries. Nan
tucket fisherman once explained to us that
Everybody orter have $4,000 and not
cent more" We are willing to admit that
every salary ought to be not less than $50
600 a year; but there are difficulties IN the
way of immediate realization OF the the
ory. The young Cincinnatian might fan
to work up to big salary. Besides,
how do we know that corporations are to
be permitted to continue their wicked and
soulless existence? Consider what a wealth
Of wind is now blowing against them; and
then consider the remarkable financial pos
sibilities Of the base ball profession. Con-
slider the case Of Mr. p. ]. Donovan, VINO
may be known personally to the young
Cincinnatian. Mr.. Donovan had about
made up his mind to give UP base ball for
commerce. but he seems to have reconsid-
cred his resolution. According to dis
patches from st. Louis. he Will continue
to manage the st. Louis National League
base ball team during the cdming season at
a salary of $1,000, a contract for that
amount having been signedi with the Rob-
isons." Now. $1,000 for season. just a
part Of the year, seems fair compensa-
ton. There IL no reason why Mr.. Donovan
shouldn't engage in commerce the rest OF
the year. IL he wants to.
There Is money in base ball. papa, and
your Absalom Is no fool.

BIG POOL TOURNEY.
Ward Captured a Slow Game From
Hamber.

Nat Ward of Brooklyn and George HAM
Der of New York met first last night in the
sweepstakes pool tournament at the Mon
tauk Academy In Brooklyn. The game
opened with playing that was very ordi-
nary. In the third frame Ward showed
a sharp eye for picking the balls out of
close and troublesome groups and ran three
such to cover neatly. He left q set-up and
Hamber braced UP and culled seven. max

There were almost as many misses as
counts. which is not good pool for experts,
and Hamber. In particular, found the going
laborious.> Ward dropped the spheres into
their leathern resting places cleaner and
with more dispatch than Hamber, and one
of his shots, a two-ball combination
through a narrow passageway was most
meritorious. Each succeeding frame found
his lead growing In volume. When he had
fifty-two balls slowed away Hamber had
only twenty.
In the sixth frame Hamber startled the
spectators into applause with a brilliant
cut shot that was thinner than the edge Of
tissue paper, but the force impaired to
the cue ball sent it flying around the table
until it lodged In a bad position in the jaws
of a far-off pocket. 80 Ward once more
laid most of the frame to rest. Hamber's
first profitable session at the cloth was In

University Of Pennsylvania Refuses tt
Meet Locals on Athletic Field.


From the Philadelphia North American.
The University Of Pennsylvania will not
meet Georgetown in any branch of athletics
this year. The university athletic commit
tee has refused to sanction the annual series
Of base bali games with the southerners
this spring, and no team has been entered
in the annual indoor track games which
%. Heretofore Pennsylvania and George
town have been on the friendEest of terms,
and this sudden termination Of athletic re-
lations has surprised even those who are on
the inside of PENIS athletic management.
Both DR.. Edgar F. Smith, chairman of the
university athletic committee, and Manager
Irwin Of the base ball team yesterday con-
firmed the fact that Pennsylvania had not
arranged the annual base ball games, but
refused to divulge the reasons for this
stand.
Pennsylvania always takes a southern
base ball trip In the spring. and. as there
are few southern colleges of sufficient
strength to give the Quakers good practice
the Georgetown game has always been well
come Now that it has been cancelled the
Quakers will have hard time in securing
good games on this trip.
Georgetown has always had very lax elfgi-
bility rules, and charges of professionalism
have frequently been made against her
Outing, has commended that the big colleges
should drop Georgetown until she reforms
her athletic code. but SO far Pennsylvania
Is the first to sever athletic relations. 1t IL
felt In university circles that Pennsylvania
has decided to discipline Georgetown In lie
same manner that she and Cornell dtsci-
plined Lafayette several years ago.

High-Class Bowlers.

The All-American Bowling Trio, consist
ing of John VOORHEES, and Phil Wolf of
Brooklyn and Ernest Peterson of Chicago
played their first series of games In Brook
Ign yesterday. Followers of the game have
watched with interest the progress of these
men in the west, and they were greeted by
an enthusiastic crowd when they stepped
upon the alleys to oppose some of the best
tournament bowlers in Brooklyn. The first
two matches were played In the afternoon
Charlie Whitbeck and Fred EgeIhoff OF the
Logan club were matched against Peterson
and Wolf. The Logan pair won two games
out Of three, but lost on total pins by Sc
points. Fred Egelhoff played against Voor-
HES in the second series, and the Logan
clubman beat his opponent two games out
Of three, with margin of % points on total
pins. In the evening the AlI-American Trio
played against Sharkey, Whitbeck and
Egelhoff. 1t was a great exhibition. in
which the All-American Trio easily carried
off the honors, winning four games out Of
five, and a margin Of 1871 pins. Johnny

nicely, and the contests were better than
those raced for several days. The chill air
apparently had a most distressing effect
on the speed of the favorites, for four of
them ran miserably and were beaten off.
The two successful choices were. Shrine
and LEtrenne, who won the first and
fourth races. respectively.
The latter. Edward Corrigan's imported
English mare, made the two fast sprinters,
Carl Kahler and Philo, look very cheap in
the six-furlong dash and beat them home in
a gallop. She opened up big gap early in
the struggle and just romped home. with
her head high in the air.
Nettie Regent won the handicap, with
King Barleycorn second and Erne third.
The latter cut across Major Tenny, one of
the contenders to the last furlong, and in
terfered with his chance. On complaint
of Buchanan. who rode Major Tenny Erne
was disqualified for third money and the
place was awarded to the colt he fouled.

DETAILS OF BENN1NG TRANSFER.
Westchester Racing Association the
Real Owners of the Track.

From the New York Sun.
The formal lease Of the course at Ben
ming to the Westminster Racing Association,
the first step of which was taken in Wash
ington on Monday, simply means that the
course will be under the direction of that
association while preserving the name and
officials which have made it popular in the
District Of Columbia, and with a view to
increasing it's usefulness in the racing
world.
The Washington Jockey Club. having a
floating debt ard also a mortgage on its
property, and being unable to pay for the
same, made an arrangement with August
Belmont by which Mr. Belmont was to pay
off all Indebtedness. to pay to each share
holder full par value of his stock and to
take in. return the property of the Wash
ington Jockey Club.

Is simply the Washington Jockey Club of
the District Of Columbia, with the same
officials as heretofore, but the controlling

This was done in order that the property
might not be hampered with any debts,
that the stockholders might be assured a
good return on their stock, and that the
Washington Jockey Club backed by an
organization of the Importance Of the West
chester Racing Association. would be in a
position to hold racing meetings Of more
importance, giving better stakes and prizes

PEACE CONFERENCE ECHOES.
John T. Brush on the American
Leagues Blacklist.
cinnati Commercial Tribune.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
While the ratification OF the peace COM
pact made in Cincinnati by the representa-
tives Of the National and American
leagues may not be unanimous, SO far as the
National League is concerned, 1t Is sure to
become a reality. Opposition to the COM
pact seems to be expected from John T..
Brush of the New York club. Mr.. Brush
may be able to get one other club to stand
with him. but the majority Of the clubs in
the league will vote for the compact.
Brush may have two objections to the
compact to offer. First, the arranging Of
League the privilege to go into New York
and. second, the taking from him Of Play
ers Delehanty, Davis and Elberfeld.
If the American League has grounds In
New York 1t would have gone into that
city, peace or no peace. and II 1t hasn't
grounds it won't go into that territory re-
CARELESS of whether the privilege to do so
was granted it by the peace conference or
not.
In the division of players 1t was found
that the New York Club had signed six
American leaguers. every one of whom had
previous contract with an American
League club. Three of these were taken
from Brush, and he was allowed to ~atajn
the others. So he should have no kick
coming.
1t may be. of course. that If Mr.. Brush
had been a member of{he conference that
the National League would have gotten a
much better deal. His diplomatic ability
and his shrewdress would have stood him
In good stead but. unfortunately the Amer
lean League could never have been dragged
into conference If Brush was in the room
Every last one of the delegates has placed
himself on record that point The
American League could not be asked to
confer with Brush, the one man who tried
to wreck that league by means of under.
hand dealing.
Incidentally, it must not be forgotten that
Mr.. Brush made the effort to wreck the
National League during the Spalding fight,
when he offered to throw four of the Ma
tional League clubs into the American
League. The American League refused to
enter into such DEAL and that alone
blocked 1t.

"Dep' Must Return Advance Money

When President Hermann Of Cincinnati
was informed Of Delehanty's stand as re-
CARDS returning advance money to New
York, he said:
''Delehanty will either return all the adj
vance money he has received from the New
York club or he will not be allowed to play
ball any more. The peace conference made
this agreement, and Delehanty's case is not
an exception, though he claims to have
contract which assured him of his salary
whether he played or not. The fact Of the
matter Is that Delehanty at the time no
signed with the New York club was under
a binding contract to the Washington club,
and had no right to enter into another con-
tract / don't think that Delehanty Will
have any kick coming when he understands
that all players in similar position Will
have to hand the money back TO the clubs
