The Waverlys jOurneyed TO Chat-
ham last evening, and although they
succumbed to the home team in the
first game, they rallied for the fray
and fairly swept the local defenders
from their feet in the last two games.
The best team total was SO7, which
was made by Chatham in their first
game and was nearly IS pins better
than the first attempt of the visitors.
E. Lum with card of 100 was easily
high-water-man of the evening as his
nearest competitor, Cook, of Waverly,
had only 1870 pinfalls to his credit.

Maryland Hospital authorities who
paid viSitof inspection to the State
Hospital for the insane at Morris
Plains on Thursday, December 10,
were unstinting in their praise of the
equipment and management of the
New Jersey institution. The visitors
were DR.. j. Clement Clark, Superin-

Board of Managers of the Southern
Hospital, namely, Hon. John Hubner,
President of the Maryland Senate,
Senator Baseman, DR.. Richard +.
Gundy, and Mr.. Forsythe. Ostensiby
the purpose of the idea was to gain an
idea of the new and advanced methods
employed in the State Hospital with
an idea of introducing them into the
sister institution in Maryland.
DIR. b. d. Evans, Medical Director
and Hon. John @. Elsie received the
visitors and showed them over the
building, taking them through the
wards and pointing out whatever
would prove of interest to their guests

Few Hints on Christmas shopping.
In order to come out successful on
Christmas shopping you want first of
all to write down the names of those
dear to you and then the presents you
think most appropriate for each of
them.
While doing this remember that such
as basket of fancy fruits, box of
fine candies and boxes of good cigars
play good part in Christmas presents
and that the only place where you can
buy them OF the best quality and at
the lowest prices is at Butera S candy
and fruit store on Washington street,
next to Green's harness store.

AMERICAN BALL LEAGUE
1T ADOPTS THE FOUL-STRIKE RULE
AFTER A LONG DEBATE.
Last Seasons Pennant Awarded to
adeIphia-Location Of New
York Grounds Still a Secret.

NEW YORK, March 6-The American
League baseball owners held the second
days session at the Fifth-avenue Hotel
to-day. The meeting did not get into ses-
sion until late. For nearly three hours the
men discussed reports of various commit
tees and then adjourned until tomorrow.
The situation of the playing grounds in
New York was not made public.
Most of to-days session was spent in dis
cussing the report of the rules committee.
Rule A. relating to foul strikes, held the
owners in heated deadlock for two hours,
but the report was finally adopted-4 to 3.
B. F. Shibe, of Philadelphia, refused to
vote. This is the rule that caused the
trouble at the joint conference of the rules
committees of the American and National
leagues and the National Association. The
American League has always opposed the
rule, but at the conference it was outvoted,
the National Association voting with the
National League. Since then there has
been considerable talk about the American
League refusing to pass the rule. The
concensus of American League opinion Is
against the rule as being impracticable.
Several votes were taken and considera BILE
speech-making INDUCED in when the mat
ter came up to-day on the adoption of the
Washington, and Bruce, of Cincinnati. The
Cleveland. Chicago and Boston magnates
opposed the adoption of the rule, and for a
long time the vote was a tie, Mr. Shibe
voting with this trio. Finally Mr.. Shibe
declined to vote, and President johnson, on
vote of to g. declared the rule adopted,
and also the report of the rules committee
whole.
After the meeting President Killlea, Of
Boston, said: 1.-THE feeling of the Amer
lean League is against the foul-strike rule
but We passed it out of Difference to the
rules committee"
Early in the day the board of directors
went into session. In the meantime Pres
ident Johnson left the hotel and did not
return until about o'clock. Asked about
the local situation, Mr.. johnson said: I'VE
are in New York safe enough, and before
the meeting adjourns announcement will
be made letting the public know all our
plans. / can give no information tonight" :"
The report of the board of directors was
the first business taken up at the after
noon session, and ii was adopted The
pennant was formally awarded to the Phil
adelphia Athletics. The report of the peace
committee was also read and adopted, as
was the report of President Johnson and
the board of directors declaring the Balti-
more franchise forfeited
The National Baseball. League resumed
it's session to-day, and. according to Presi-
dent Pulliam, finished up all business ex-
cept routine matters. 1t was announced
that Chief thinner, of Pittsburg, had
signed contract to become playing man
ager of the Philadelphia club.
