American League Clubs, STANDING.
National League Clubs Standing.

A special from Boston this morning says
that the weather has moderated considera-
bly, in the New England states and that
the Washington players left the city OF
culture on the 10 o'clock train for Lynn,
where an exhibition game will be played
this afternoon Immediately after the game
this evening the Senators will make a
break for the cars, reaching New York
about midnight and Washington early to-
morrow morning.
Tomorrow afternoon the New York High
landers,> headed by Clarke Grif1th play
their first game of the season in this city
with the Senators, and the local fans"
will have their first opportunity of seeing
the team that has been clipped on to
win this years championship. The High
landers. so far, have been doing poorly,
their pitchers not working up to the stand
ard of their regulations, while in fielding
they have been on par with the local ag-
gregation. Manager Griffith will doubtless
impress his men with the fact that games
won from Washington count just as much
as from any other club and make them
play hard to capture a majority of the
games of the series. Manager Kittredge
has not telegraphed his battery for tomor-
row, but the chances favor Wilson, as Orth
is stin under the doctors care 1t is good
guess that Pitcher Wolfe will be on the
rubber for the New Yorks, as he hasn't per-
formed yet and he was effective here
last season.
Outielders Keller, Anderson and Fultz
are all well known in this city and are as
good as the best, while CAMEL, Williams,
Conroy and Elberfeld make up tnf1eld
that is unusually attractive.
Up to the hour of going to press nothing
In the way of news concerning the dispo-
SitiOn of Patrick Donovan has come from
Cincinnati and there is no telling when his
case will be disposed Of President Ban
Johnson will probably remain in New York
until the western teams come east, and
then there may be something developed In
the way of turning players over to the
Washington club. Mr.. Johnson has not-
fed the different managers that they must
legal number by the list of May, and there
will certainly be large number of men
turned adrift Whether any OF them will
be good enough to help along the Senators
course of play. 1t is well enough for Mr..
Johnson to promise players to the Wash
ington management, but any one at all ac-
Quainted with the ways of the base ball
managers knows that he will have a car
load Of trouble making his promises good.
Manager Mack voiced the regulation SEN
timent of the average magnate when he
said that he knew Hoffman was good and
that about dozen clubs wanted him." It
doesn't matter to Mr.. Mack how weak the
Washington club may be- he Is looking out
for himself, and 1t Is more than an even
the market and strong aggregation like
Cleveland outbid the local team, he would
not come to this city. Players may be doled
out to Washington, but not what we want.
Patsy Donovan is wanted here right badly,
but from present appearances the local
people will have to take Off their coats.
roll up their sleeves and fight hard to get
him.

HART BEsTED RUHL1N.
Akron Giant Almost Knocked Out in
Fourth Round.

Marvin Hart Of Louisville bested Gus
Rubin, the akron Giant, In poor bout
at the National A. c., Philadelphia, last
night. In the first round Hart displayed
his superiority over the big heavyweight.
and in the fourth round had his opponent
nearly out. sI
This round was particnlarly lively one;
In fact. the only one OF the six, that aroused
the enthusiasm of the large crowd of spec
tators. Rubin was in distress when the
bell rang, and the crowd naturally looked
to Hart to follow up his advantage when
the men came together in the fifth round.
This, however, the Kentuckan failed to do,
and Rubin had sufficient time to recover
from the punishment he had received
In the last two rounds Rubin became ag-
gressive, but he WAS handicapped by his
slowness, and while he landed nearly all
the blows in the last round, and the major
fty of those in the fifth, they were very
weak, and only one or two of them had any
effect on his sturdy opponent
Harris failure to follow up his advantage
after the fourth round was surprising, but
1t may be explained by the fact that Kid
Mccoy, whom he is scheduled to meet in a
few weeks, sat close to the ringside.

CUMBERLAND NOTES.
Strike Troubles in the Meyersdale
Reeion-Tax Levy.


Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
CUMBERLAND, Nd. April 81, 1904.
The strikers in the Meyersdale region
caught supposed strike-breaker Tuesday
and dragged him several yards through
deep railroad cut with a rope about his
neck. He was warned never to return to
Garrett. The strikers stop delivery wagons
sent to deliver goods to the workmen of the
Garrett Coal Company and force the drivers
to return to the stores Many of the en-
pIoyes of the Garrett Coal Company have
received anonymous letters within the past
few days warning them to quit work under
the penalty Of death.
The strikers are picketing the railroads
and are using every effort to keep new
men from going to work.
Superintendent Frank B. Black of the
Garrett Coal Company win secure warrants
for ten men whom he charges with violat-
ing Judge Kooser's Injunction.
There is great business depression at
Meyersdale as the result of the strike. The
Somerset Coal Company Is rushing new
to be occupied by strike breakers, so that
they will not be obliged to come In daily
contact with the strikers In the town. The
companies declare they will never recognize
the union.
The county commissioners finished the
tax levy for this county here, and the
total rate will be $3.50 on the $f00. This is
an increase of four and one-half cents In
the county rate and five and one-half cents
in the state rate. total of $Sl4,59335 Is
levied.

RACES AT AoUEDucr.
Three Favorites Split the Card for the
Betters.

Because of the cold wave only the rern-
lars-about 5000 of them-went to Aqueduct
yesterday, where they kept constantly on
the move to escape being frozen as to fin
gers and toes. The racing was thrilling
enough at times to warm the blood. and
some of the finishes were SO hot that the
crowd forgot all about the winter weather.
The Peconic handicap, for three-year-olds.
at six furlongs, was the stake feature. The
Goughacres stables Spring was a pro-
nounced favorite at 8 to g. with Davy john
sons Joaquin backed down to 16 to from
tours. AT the getaway Spring got big adj
vantage, which he maintained at all stages
winning easily by length and a half in
LIT 2-5. Joaquin, with better start,
might have taken Springs measure, but
under the circumstances he had to be con-
tent with second money, half length be-
fore Moment, SO to 1.
The best finish was in the handicap for
three-year-olds and upward at six fur
longs, which served to demonstrate the re-
markable finishing ability of George Odom.
Red knight ruled fayorite with Sweet
Alice, All Gold and Eugenia Burch not far
was shut off twice before the head of the
stretch was reached, and nearing the last
furl3ng pole he was in such a complete
pocket that Odom had to take him up and
come around on the outside.
The early pacemakers had died away by
this time and Eugenia Burch was fighting
it out neck and neck with All Gold. Odom
went to the whip and, never ceasing pun
ishment, he kept Red knight going until
the Knight of Ellerslie colt got up In time
to win by neck from All Gold, who was a
short head before Eugenia Burch. Three
lengths back came Shrine and Mackey
Dwyer. heads apart. The winner was much
the best and with better racing luck would
have experienced no trouble at the end. He
was timed in LA 2-5.
Another startling finish occurred In the
last race, for two-year-olds at four and a
half furlongs, when e. r. Thomas st. Bel
lane, to 2, favorite, and Newton Bennfng-
toms Right Royal, to /, hooked up for q
long, gruelling drive through the last fur
long, the former winning by nose in 0.54
Right Royal was three lengths before Bill
Days Amberjack second choice.
Sydney Paget's Pink Garter, to /, took
the first race by two lengths from David
Gideon's Muozon, 10 to 1. who was head
in front Of Pygmalion, to l. Salad Days
and Fila, equal favorites, were run on
their feet I'm the early stages.
Two long shots. Burning Glass. 40 to 1,
and Neither One, so to ], made the layers
rejoice by running first and second in the
third race the former winning by neck
and the latter beating Rob Roy, the odds
on favorite. by head. The Bowery was
head behind.
After making most of the running In the
fifth event, Sydney Paget's Singing Master,
fayorite blew up while Frank FarrelPs
Pretorius, second choice, never had a look
In. Phaon O to 1, closed strongly under
drive and won by a length and half from
Morokanta, 30 to 1, the latter beating Mary
Worth, Is to l, head. Three favoritei,
were victorious.

his time being 90 minutes 81 1-S seconds.
Butler finished three-eishths OF mile be-
hind Moran, while Mclean was forced to
quit in the twenty-frst 4udteMowing to the
swapping OF his chain.
Mclean caught his pace first and went
away in the lead, holding that position un-
til nearly five miles ha0 been reeled OF.
when Moran came up into first place. In
the seventeenth mile WHEN Mclean was q
lap in the rear of Moran AND two laps In
front OF Butler, one OF AIS tires punctured
and he had to take a new machine.
Mclean lost four lapsqn changing ma
chimes, and hooking on to his pace again
he went out after Butler at great rate
when once he got going ana had nearly
caught him, when the chain gave away, and
he retired. Butler made great race Of It
against Moran during the, hast five miles
and the spectators were ON their feet yell
ing most of the time. The Chelsea boy was
too much for the Cambridge rider and he
held the slight lead to the finish.
Fully 5000 persons saw Harry Caldwell
of Manchester N. H, defeat George Lean
der and Bill Stinson In the twenty mile
big motor paced race at the Charles River
track. Boston, Tuesday. Some remarkable
time was made, miles being covered as
low as 1:07. Leander led for the first
twelve miles, when a puncture in one of
his tires caused him to lose mile to Cald-
well, who continued In the lead to the
finish. The track was In perfect condition
and exceedingly fast for this time of year.
Caldwells time for the distance was "A
minutes As seconds.

The law passed at the recent session OF
the Maryland legislature. prohibiting the
sale Of intoxicating liquor within a mile
radius of the northeast corner of the Dis
trict of Columbia line, Is causing the saloon
keepers in Bladensburg no little concern.
1t is contended by some that the limit or
prohibition Of the sale of liquor will. under
q strict construction of the law, extend to
and include the town of Biadensburg,
where there are at present no less than
half dozen saloons. The question of the
applicability of the law to the Bladensburg
saloons will come UP when the clerk Of the
court issues liquor licenses. about May 1.

Lyrid Star She YER Due Tonight

From the New York Herald.
AS the epoch of April meteors. known as
the Lyrids. whi.a began yesterday, viii
extend to Friday and possibly Saturday, II
will be interesting to star gazers and as
tronomers to keep sharp lookout for these
shooting stars radiating from the little con-
stellation of the Tyre.
Although it has been exactly forty-one
years since a very notable display of the
Lyrids occurred, Mr. Denning, the English
astronomer. has recorded somewhat impor-
tant appearances of this meteor stream In
1850 and 1854, and also the night Of
April p, in both 1893 and 1901. On their
annual visit to our atmosphere in 1908 the
Lyrids were observed to be most numerous
ON the nights of April q and %. 1t Is
therefore highly probable that they will be
observable in considerable numbers during
the next forty-eight hours. IL the weather
Is fair, for which the present outlook Is
very promising.
In the opening period of the nineteenth
century this star shower made at least one
sensational appearance In America, last
ing in full splendor for two hours" on the
morning of April 90 1903 The stream fs
apparently In no part of Its orbit densely
crowded with meteorfc matter. But In 1871
Prof. Forshey, in Louisiana, recorded a
maximum display. counting sixty OF these
shooting stars within three hours. AS sim
liar displays of more than the usual bril-
liancy REQUIRED In the early sixties and
suggested that the portion OF the Lyrid
stream which Is richest In meteors grasee
the earth periodically, the period being
about twenty years. II this supposed
tyenty-year cycle exists the chances are
now good for seeing the meteofs shooting
from the direction of the constellation
Lyra. of which the leader Is the brilliant
blue star Vega. Of the hrst magnitude.
