"TAKE BACK YOUR GoLD.n
Double Contract Signers Will Have to
Disgorge.

President Harry Pugiam of the National
League, who is in New York, yesterday
took decisive step in the matter of the
base ball players who accepted large slices
| of advance money from National League
clubs, which they still owe, and have since
been ordered to play with Americas League
clubs and return the advance money,
Pulliam has been notified by the New
York club that 1900 has been advanced to
Edward Delehanty and s2,775 to George
Davis. Under the decision of the Cincln-
| natl peace conference, Delehanty IS to play
| with the Washington American Leagu.
| club and Davis with the Chicago American
| Leaguers. Both men were ordered to re-
| turn all money advanced to them by the
| New York club, and the understanding is
| that they will not be allowed to play with
| any club until the money is paid
The Pittsburg club notified Pulliam that
William Conroy. assigned to play with the
New York American League club. had
been paid $1,000 by Pittsburg, which amount
has not been returned.
Pulliam yesterday sent q letter to Ban
Johnson, president of the American
League, asking him to take up this matter
and bring it to a head when the American
League meets in New York city next Thurs
day taEt
There are other players that have taken
money from National League cluos. among
them Sam Crawford, who was paid 81, $50
by Cincinnati and Bill Donovan, who re-
ceived a like amount from Brooklyn. Pull
lam has not been notified whether this
| money has been returned.
President Postal and Comiskey Of Chi
cago have announced that Delehanty and
Davis will play with their teams. Davis
| recently threatened to take the matter
into court, as he claims the New York club
has contract with him prior to his Chi
cago contract. To this Comiskey answered
that Davis would play with Chicago or not
at all.
Several players that were assign Il to Ma
tional League teams took advance money
from American League clubs. Among
them are named Christy Mathewson and
Frank Bowerman of the New York club,
who, it is charged, each received $500 from
the st. Louis club last summer

THANKFUL FOR RAIN.
superintendent Strahan Says Down
pour Benefited Benning Track.

Superintendent Strahan of the Benning
track says that the heavy downpour of rain
last Saturday was just what he wanted,
and he expects to have the track ready for
fast work by tomorrow.
All the horses were again worked yester-
day on the training track, which Is a boon
to trainers, and. while fast work is out Of
the question, horses can be sent along at a
two-minute gait, and this Is really equal to
pretty fast work on a good track.
The schooling grounds in this field are
also very popular. and many horses were
schooled Jockey Ray schpoled Auto. He
took his jumps in a clever style, and, while
1t will take some time and great care to fit
so large horse. he should be heard from
when ready, and weight should be nothing
to him.
James Sennett of the firm of Sennett &
Drake arrived at Benning Sunday with
Lucent. This FIRMS horses will race in the
name of James Sennett. The horses of Sid
ney Holloway have also reached BennfnR
They are r. B. Slack, Coley. yassal Dance
and Happy Cross
w. p. Burch received a telegram from
his son Preston from San Francisco that
he would ship for Washington today. This
spring will be the first time Washingtonians
have seen Preston Burch's colors, as he
did not acquire stable until late last year.
Preston has the same quiet ways and at
tends to his business in very much the
same manner as his father, and Is certain
to make his mark on the turf Shipping
with Mr.. Burch are the horses of w J.,
Oliver and DIR. II. Z. RoweH.
1t Is not known certainly that Mr. Oliver
and DIR. Rowell will race at the Benning
meeting. but as their horses will have
ample time to freshen up Ii Is expected thew
will. and stalls are being reserved for them.
Should the California horses race here they
must not be overlooked as they will be
thoroughly fit and seasoned.
Trainer Garth said coming In from the
track yesterday: II wonder that more sta
bles do not winter at Benning. / have been
here every year for the past five years, and
] do not recall ever having seen a sick
horse, and there has surely never been
anything like an epidemic of any kind"

big city.
The prospective site is located on Am
sterdam avenue and 166th street, the old
Juvenile Asylum grounds. 1t was while
Johnson was in New York city recently that
he closed the deal for that property. He Sc
cured it at a rental of s25, COO year for ten
years, and has an option on buying it at
the end of that time. The deal was made
with man named Barney.
AS to the make UP of the American sched-
ule, 1t Is CLEANED from reliable source that
the Americans will not open the season in
New York city on April %. The New York s
first game will be in this city, and they will

TO PROTEST ADVANCE GUARD.
Not Eligible to Race on Account of
Defective Entry Papers.

A protest will be lodged with the Jockey
Club stewards shortly against the entry OF
Advance Guard in the Brooklyn and Subur-
ban handicaps, charging that the owners,
Shields & Carruther, have not complied with
the rule in regard to the registration Of
partnerships. The man who will make the
complaint has several famous horses en-
tered in the big spring events.
81 do not believe Advance Guard is eligi-
BILE to start in any of the races he has
been entered for this year" said this own
er Yesterday in New York. Under the rules
of racing all partnerships in a horse must
be registered with the Jockey Club. This
was not DONE He was entered as the prop
erty of Alexander Shields, a half owner
and trainer of the horse. Now the rule de-
MES the right to horses nominated to start
because 1t Is a transgression on the rule
relating to partnerships.
When Yankee was bought as yearnng
for SIC, eco by John E. Madden, the latter
entered him in the English Derby as his
property. In making the nomination Mad
den forgot to record the partnership of w.
c. Whitney. AS result Of this oversight
the English Jockey Club had Yankees entry
thrown out subsequently. That is why Mas

night to play their last matches together
for the current season. The score In the
first and third games-S66- S25-was In favor
of the Saengerbund. Thus by the coinci-
dence of playing two games with precisely
the same figures as a result, the Saengers
captured the majority of the games. the odd
one going to the visitors by small margin.
Neither side played in remarkably brilliant
form, and there were no great single
strings, German being the only man of
either side to pass into the 200 class. There
were. however, several scores that passed
100, these all occurring in the final game, in
which there were numerous double-headers
Scheuernlan led both sides for average,
and was uniformly steady in his play, and
his support was evenly divided among the
other four men, Miller alone dropping to
small string, when he scored but 49, in the
second event. This was about the smallest
score that this sturdy little bowler has put
up this year, but he could not connect with
the head pin. The scores follow.

ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETED.
Everything Ready for Georgetown's
Big Athletic Meet.

ARRANGEMENTS for GeorgetownS fifth in

Quaker two-mile team. This will be the
first time a relay race OF two miles was
ever run in a local meet. and the innoya-
ton will doubtless be welcomed. The local
