DUAL MEET IS ARRANGED
8. HI. s. AND Nj. II. III. WILL NOT CON-
TEST WITH OTHER TEAMS.
Indianapolis Schools Drop State Assoc
ciation-Reasons for Such Action
Athletic News.

The question of a dual athletic meet be-
tween the Manual Training and Shortridge
High Schools has been practically settled.
and the two schools will meet at the fair
grounds the latter part Of May or early
in June. As yet no word has been received
from the high schools over the State, who
are members of the State Interscholastic
Athletic Association, under whose direc-
ton the meets have been held for a num-
Der Of years, and the leaders in athletic
circles in the local institutions think that
owing to the apparent lack Of interest on
the part Of the other schools ii is best to
hold dual meet.
1t has been understood for some time
that such action on the part of the In
dianapolis schools was contemplated and
Managers Lynn b. McMullen. of the Short
ridge track team, and Robert Hall, of the
M. L. II. s., after several conferences de-
cided to hold dual meet. One of the rea-
sons for leaving the State organization
crowd and paid the expenses of the visiting
teams without getting anything I'm return.
Inc new arrangement will do away with
the large expense of the other teams and
put the Golfers of the two athletic asso-
Citations In good shape. 1t is also likely
which will give more athletes an oppor-
tunity than under the old plan
Whether or not the withdrawal of the
Indianapolis schools will put an end to
the State Interscholastic Athletic Associa-
ton is not yet known, but the former
organization will probably not attempt to
continue, as the local schools were the
principal factors.

METHODIST MERGER.
Consolidation of the Church's Pub
fishing Houses Proposed.

CHICAGO, April 13.-Methodists through
consideration and discussion on Wednes-
day a plan to merge into corporate
institution the two great publishing houses
of the church. the Methodist Book Concern
in New York city and the Western Meth
odist Book Concern in Cincinnati and in
Chicago. The suggestions of the book
committee Of the Methodist General Con-
ference, the result OF special committees
deliberations in February, together with
a review OF the history of the work of the
publishing houses of the Methodist Church,
will be circulated in the form of a supple
ment issued with the regular edition of the
Northwestern Christian Advocate and kin
dred publications throughout the United
States.
Although the final decision on the pro-
posed unification OF the publishing houses
cannot be had until the General Conference
meets in its regular session at Los An
gees, Cal, in May, 1904, it is the general
effected. The aim is TO unite the two cor
porations under one firm title, and to gath
er under one roof the varied publishing
interests connected with the issuing OF
Sabbath school literature and the enor-
nous bookmaking departments that are
now divided between the two plants in New
York and in Cincinnati The Epworth
but the periodicals.. of which there are five,
and magazine printed in German at Gin
cinnati, will continue to be issued from the
points where they are now published. 1t
is thought an annual saving of $4,000 can
be effected by combining the corporations.

the Western League, rs to an
Agreement Not Adopted.

CINCINNATI. April 13.-The National
Roller Polo League, consisting of clubs in
Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton and Hamil-
ton and two other cities yet to be selected
from eight remaining applicants, effected
a permanent organization at the Honing

cause Of the numerous applications for
franchises a selection of the two remain
ing cities was not made tonight. IL be-
ing decided to appoint q circuit committee
to investigate these applications and re-
port at the next meeting of the league
Evidence of strong financial backing in all
the cities was produced.
A letter was received from Secretary
David Durbin, of the Western Polo League,
suggesting the adoption of a national
agreement, framed after the one used
organizations so far as the players were
concerned. After a lengthy discussion of
the matter IL was decided that for the
present the National League was not ready
to enter into such an agreement and the
president was ordered to so notify Secre-
tary Durbn. A resolution was adopted,
however. forbidding any club of the league
TO negotiate with or entertain a proposition
from any player under contract to any
club or any other polo league. The league
will not recognize a reserve rule, but will
not tolerate a contract jumper.
Messrs. Fisk and Leonard were appointed
a committee on constitution and rules.
Numerous applications from star players
were received, but action was taken
regarding them. The meeting adjourned
subject to the call OF the president.

beside her. They climbed the tenders be-
fore the boat got in the Buffalo river and

over to them. Captain Hollingshead said
the nonunion firemen were under his pro-
lection, and that they would not be taken
from the boat. Before the Mack had been
tied about forty union men, the captain
said, swarmed over the rails OF his boat
and seized the firemen and carried them of.

of the union and upon demand OF Captain
Hollingshead who was accompanied by po-
licemen, they were released. One OF the men
