HIGH-CLASS BOWLING.
Rodrick of Jolly Fat Mems Club Easily
Won Prize

The three days bowling tournament
which was started at the Palace alleys last
Saturday. reached the concluding rounds
last night and a big crowd was on hand to
watch the finish. Ten Of the crack bowlers
of the District were the contestants and the
bowling from beginning to end was of the
sensational! order. Bowling doesn't differ
from any other sport in the matter Of nerve
and when the concluding frames were being
rolled last night a practicable demonstra-
ton Of this fact was given. Several of the
bowlers had been going unusually well Sat-
urday and Monday, and 1t was thought the
finish would be very close, but the tension
began to tell last night and the bowling in
several cases was ragged.
Rodrick OF the Jolly Fat Mems Club
turned up the winner with a good safe
margin, his total for the three days being
CAS-. His work has been consistent through
out, but 1t remained for last nights play to
demonstrate the fact that Rodrick belongs
to the sandy class. While a majority Of
the players were falling off in their work
Rodrick did his best bowling Of the tourna-
ment and the applause of his friends acted
as an incentive to spur him on. This same
applause bestowed on the other contestants
served to bring on cases Of 'rattles'' and

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Jockey Fuller Captured the First Three
Events.

The biggest crowd of the meeting. not
excepting the ladies' day, was at the New
Orleans track yesterday afternoon. There
grand stand, and the betting ring was
packed to the limit. Speculation was ex-
tremely brisk. The track was at it's fastest,
and three favorites and second choice
finished in front. A feature OF the after
noon was the riding of Grover Cleveland
Fuller. The hustling little lightweight won
the first three races off the reel.
The handicap, at seven furlings, brought
out half a dozen sprinters, and Jim Ar
thurs Andes opened favorite, while the
books chalked up Carl Kahler as second
choice The bulk of the play went to Kah-
Ter, who closed at 8 to 5, while Andes went
up to to 5. Hoar got kahler off flying,
and he ran the first quarter in Al 2-5, giving
the field behind enough of it. He won by a
length from Ernest Parham.
The three-year-old event, at mile,
brought out some Derby timber. Henry
McDaniels. carrying top weight. made all
the pace. and was only nipped out in the
last stride by Floyd K, who was in very
light Handspinner. another Derby candi-
date. finishing bang-up third. In the last
race Nitrate was favorite. He justified the
support by winning cleverly from Witfull
in the fastest mile of the meeting. Albula
was a good third.
Plead fell in the first race and broke her
leg. She had to be destroyed. The winner,
Free Pass, was much the best in this event

AGREED ON SCHEDULES.
Base Ball Magnates Fix Up the Dates
for Next Season.

After practically an all-day session at
Chicago yesterday the base ball conferees
were not able to give out the exact sched-
ule last night. It is all completed. but win
not be given out as final until after meet
ing IN New York This meeting is booked
for next week and 1t Is quite probable that
the two leagues will meet there at the same
time. The Nationals. however, may hold
theirs first and already figure on Monday
as the date.
At the meeting yesterday it was decided
on April 15. The Chicago club will play at
st. Louis, Pittsburg will open at Cincinnati.
Boston at Philadelphia and Brooklyn at
New York The American League will not
open until April %. The reason for the Ma
tionals beginning sooner Is that their circuit
is such that they will lose about five days
moro than the Americans in long jumps
from the eastern to the western cities
Nothing definite could be learned about
the opening Of the Americans in New York
city. 1t Is an assured fact, however, that
they will not play on the new grounds at
the beginning of the season. It was even
intimated that 1t would be a month before
game would be played in the metropolis.
Without doubt. this is to allow them plenty
OF time to finish the new park, wherever It
may be situated. The schedule will be ar
ranged so that the New York club will play
the opening games away from home.
Altogether the two leagues will play q
schedule of IA games, and both will close
the season from September 25 to 49,
The Chicago Nationals and the White Sox
are to play series Of fifteen games, three

POLITICS INVOLVED.
Freedman's influence Hard to Over
come BY American League.

Horace 8. Fogel, last year manager Of the
New York National League Base Ball Club,
sees nothing but trouble for the American
League in New York
Writing in the Philadelphia Sunday Dis
patch Fogel says:
ITO close a street in New York, Johnson
& Co. have another factor to reckon with,
and that Is Andrew Freedman. If Freed
man says the street shall not be closed,
providing this is a political game between
him and Murphy, I'll wager dime against
a red apple that it won't be closed The
boss of New York, as we all know, is Rich
ard Croker Murphy. as chairman of the
finance committee, with which position goes
the title of leader or chief, whether real or
only nominal, Is simply 'subbing' for the
old man until his return from abroad
freedman stands No. 2 on that committee
There is not a man in the organization
closer to or more influential with Boss
Croker than Freedman. The young Crok-
ers, as I discovered last summer, inter
ested In the New York club, helped Freed
man to manage the team for me, and what
they said went I think they were mainly
responsible for Freedman's failure as a
manager, they being amateur advisers. They
are with Freedman at his office every day
and at night join him again at the Demo-
cratic Club. while every now and then the.
old man sends for Andy to visit him in
England. and when he goes it is usually for
a long stay.
$50 you see, IL 1t is question Of politics
democratic politics-closing that street or
keeping it open, and Freedman takes
hand in 1t. put your money down on Andy
to win for a certainty. 1 heard something
the other day about the controller or
some other city official being the party who
had fhe say whether or not a street should
be closed; that this official was a republi-
can, and because Of his natural antipathy
to Croker and Freedman he would close
this street, not only to punish the latter,
but because his sympathies were with the
American League. OF course, If that is the
case Johnson & Co. should be able to make
good, after all, and In the end have the
laugh on their enemies"

MRS. FAIRS FURs CHANGED.
Investigation Establishes Substitution
of Inferior Articles in Paris.

A cablegram from Paris last night says:
Investigation into the mysterious change
of the furs of the late Mrs. Charles L. Fair
was resumed before Consul General Gowdy
today. Four affidavits from San Francisco
witnesses were read. One made by Mar
guerite Melbourne, Mrs. Fairs maid. said
the dark fur cloak and muff received in the
effects are not the Russian sable garments
which Mrs. Fair possessed and used.
An affidavit of Mr.. Charles S. Neal, ad-
ministrator of the deceaseds estate, stated
that the Russian sables originally cost
$4,000. and added that the articles received
are not the originals Mr.. Neal swore on
information and belief that the originals
were distracted from Mrs. Fairs effects
and that inferior articles were substituted,
and gave details of the care taken by the
American officials in Paris and in the
United States which completely exonerated
them from any connection with or knowl-
edge of the substitution. The other aft
davits were of the same general character.
AT Mr.. GowdyS request, the appraisers
NM. Chanel and Grunwaldt. have made
written reappra iSement Of the furs return
ed from San Francisco. The document sets
forth that the articles are Chinese sable.

states that the articles are not those which
they had previously appraised.
The investigation, which is still in pro-
gress, has already fully established the sub
stitution and has shown that the American
consulate never had possession Of the ar
ticles, thus vindicating the American Off
Gals. Mr.. Gowdy also considers that the
evidence vindicates the forwarding COM
panies. The investigation is not sufficiently
advanced to warrant more than suspicious
regarding the identity of those who are re-
sponsible for the substitution.
Mr.. Gowdy expresses surprise at the re-
port published in the United States that
considerable quantity of jewelry which be-
longed to the late Mrs. Ellen Gore had been
stolen after her death here. He says she
had no jewelry at the time she was shot
