Important Base Ball Question
to Be Settled This Week.
TERRITORIAL RIGHTS
COLUMBIA BOWLING TEAM OFF
FOR CLEVELAND CONGRESS.
Big Handicaps at New Orleans and
San Francisco-World's Record
in Basket Ball Goals.

The national base ball commission. COM
posed of Garry Hermann of Cincinnati,
chairman; Ban Johnson of the American
League and Harry Pulliam of the National
League, will meet in Chicago on Thursday
to consider the Ridgewood Sunday ball
question. This conference is due to the fact
that c. II. Ebbets president of the Brook
lyn club, after unsuccessfully trying to
lease Ridgewood Park for Sunday games,
protested against the lease of the park by
the New York Americans on the ground
that it was violation of the so-caiied
peace agreement for the Americans to en-
croach upon Brooklyn's alleged territory.
Frank ]. Farrell of the New York Ameri-
cans will leave New York for Chicago on
Wednesday and will appear before the COM
mission to present his side Of the case. AS
a after of fact base ball men of discern
ment believe that the national commission
has no jurisdiction in this case. for the rea-
son that 1t was created to decide disputes
between the two big leagues and the minor
leagues as to players exclusively. not terri
torial rights of clubs parties to the ma
tional agreement. On the face of the evil
dence which has been made public there IS
no base ball law to prevent the New YORK
Americans from playing in Ridgewood The
incorporated name of the Americans Is the
Greater New York Base Ball Club, and its
charter specifies that it's object is to give
base ball exhibitions in New York city.
When the club secured grounds at Broad
way and 165th street. Manhattan, it was
generally understood that Ban Johnson was
not restricted to Manhattan borough, put
was permitted to locate anywhere within
the limits of Greater New York He could
have secured grounds at Ambrose Park,
South Brooklyn, or in Long Island City. II
he had so desired, or in the Bronx, for he
had plenty of latitude. Ridgewood is nearer
American League Park than the Brooklyn
clubs grounds. 1t is not in Kings county,
bat Just over the line in Queens county.
1t is no more Brooklyn than Long Island
City or College Point is and base ball men
of fairness say that the Brooklyn club S
protest before the commission cannot be
sustained 1t is a good bet that the Ameri-
cans will play ball at Ridgewood on four
teen Sundays this year, despite all that Eo-
bets may say or do, and the law will not be
violated in any way at that. If it is found
that the national commission has no power
to act the matter will be dropped. especial
" in view of the fact that the New York
National League club has filed no objec-
ton to the plan. and what Is more will not
make a move to assist Brooklyn.

DISPUTED PLAYERS.
List of Men Claimed by Pacific Coast
League.

The list of players disputed by the Cali
fornia League has not been generally
known. These will have to be passed upon
by the national commission before peace
can be established between the Pacific
Coast League and the rest of the base ball
world Men who claimed by the out
law league and also by other clubs are as
follows:
Dillon, last year on the coast, now claim
ed by Brooklyn; Flood, who played second
for Brooklyn last summer and who has
signed with coast team Bernard with
Toledo last season; Reisling. with Toledo
last season and now claimed by Pittsburg;
Massey, an Eastern League first baseman;
Waldron. with the Western League last
year; Marshall. with Pittsburg part Of last
fall; Blankenship. Toledo player. who re-
fuses to stand a salary cut at the swamp
city; Frsk with Denver for several sea-
sons past: Tom Delahanty, one of the ia
nous Delahanty brothers; Nadeau, with
the Coast League last fall and now claimed
by Brooklyn; Beck, who was with the
Southern League in 1903: Castro, with
Rochester last year; Schlafiey, who on
Joe Cantillon's Milwaukee team and wants
to jump: Schmidt, pitcher who came from
the coast to Brooklyn last season and now
wants to go home again; Ganley. another of
CantillOn's Milwaukee players; Whitridse
of Denver; Buchanan, Jones and Yerkes,
pitchers of minor Importance. To top off
ali THIS, IL SeeHS tndt ClaHCy, WflOin Selee
counts on as an outfielder and emergency
first baseman. has signed on the coast,
which explains his reluctance to sign with
Chicago.
The list of men shows clearly that the
Coast League had planned its 1904 raid on
much more modest scale than was the
case last season. In 1903 the outlaws stole
or tried to steal mostly big league men of
great value. while this season they were
preparing to build up their teams out of
second-growth timber-consequently of less
expensive men.

EXPERT DUCK SHOOTER.
Jesse Poplar's Records With Canvas
backs and Redheads,

There are many crack duck shots in
Maryland and each season brings expert
shooters from other states, but native
stands at the head OF them all. Jesse Pop
lar. resident of Havre de Grace. Shots
like Frederick Gilbert of Spirit Lake. Iowa;
John Doian, Edward Fuiford and J. A. r.
Elliott have to bow to Poplar.
Poplar began with muzzle leaders, using
two Of these guns in single sink box. With
them he was known to kill nine canvas
back ducks by the use Of the four avail
able barrels. There were but nine in the
flock which was decoyed to his layout. MT.
Poplar considers this hts greatest achieve
ment.
1t was about eighteen years ago that Mr..
Poplar was converted from the muzzie to
the breech-ioading gun. When he made
the change he followed the example OF
others in the matter of caiiber. Instead OF
carrying two guns. each of ten gauge, he
uses one smaller twelve gauge and one of
ten gauge.
His record, established, is 313 ducks kill
ed and gathered in one days shooting. His
record for one hour is 100 ducks. In this
kill there were eighty-two canvasbacks and
forty blackheads.
The duck shooters greatest prize is the
canvasback, which feeds on the wild celery
along the Susquehanna river flats near
Havre de Grace. or this species Mr.. Pop
lar before noon on one day killed III. The
next best duck is the redhead, and of these
Mr.. Poplar in a days shooting killed 126.

1t was a sermon replete with Christian

Columbia Team Starts for Cleveland
Congress.

The Columbia bowling team. eleven
strong left Washington Saturday night for
Cleveland, where the members thereof will
participate in the national bowling con-
gress which will be held in that city this
week The team comprised Messrs. Cox,
president and captain: Hardie Campbell.
Harlow Spiess, Miller, Kraus, Burdine,
Rodrick Lansdale and Ludwig. The club
will take part in the three classes of COM
petition, five-men team, two-men team and
individual contests. Mr.. Cox will probably
not take part In the prize bowling, but will
devote his time to looking after the team
and seeing that the men secure alleys on
which to practice before the matches.
The Washington team is remarkable for
it's uniform strength. 1t being questionable
whether any one is per cent better than
the other. Should each man bowl up to his
high notch figures there is little doubt but
that many of the rich prizes would be
brought home at the end of the week. Just
