President johnson Says Americans
Can Play Ball at Ridgewood.

From present indications there will be
another outbreak between the American
and the National League. unless the Ma
tional base ball commission, composed of
Ban johnson. Harry Pulliam and Garry
Hermann. decides to turn down the protest
of the Brooklyn club against the playing CT
Sunday games by the New York Americans
at Ridgewood. C. H. Ebbets has been wir-
ing protests all over the National League
circuit, on the strength of telegram re-
ceived by a Brooklyn newspaper a few
days ago to the effect that Hermann the
chairman OF the commission. had decided
that the New York Americans were in no
way violating the so-called peace agrea-
ment by arranging fourteen games for the
Rdgewood grounds. But 1t turns out that
Hermann did not render a decision nor oil

The first game OF the match between v.

Guthrie, who receives pawn and move
from the first named, was played on Janu-
airy 2. Mr.. Guthrie soon added an addi-
tional pawn to his capital and in the mid
die of the game had such an advantage that
victory seemed assured but the champion,
by clever sacrifice of the exchange, OBJ
tanned such an attack that it was impossi

PRESIDENT EULOGIZED.
Mrs. Margaret Dye Ellis Pays Mr.
Roosevelt High Compliment.

Mrs. Margaret Dye Ellis in an address de-
livered yesterday afternoon before a mass
meeting Of the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union, In the First Congregational
Church corner of 10th and G streets north
west. paid a high tribute to President
Roosevelt for the way in which he helped
the women of the country to have woman
immigrant inspectors in New York to save
foreign girls from being enticed to low re-
sorts upon landing in the United States.
If the women of the w. c. 7. U. had their
way. Theodore Roosevelt would be the next
President of the United States" she said.
Mr.. Roosevelt Is man who does things
in thorough way" she continued. He is
friend of women. And SO is George Cor
telyou. who made Mr.. Roosevelt's reform
in the matter a permanent thing. The Pres
ident appointed five woman guardians for
three months. but Commissioner Williams
of New York at the expiration of that time
discharged them summarily. Mr.. Cortelyou
reinstated them, and there they have been
ever since.
There are other victories that the w c.
T. U. have won right here in Washington
One was the removal of liquor, or rather
removal of the sale Of liquor from the
Capitol. OF course, it Is still in the commit
tee rooms, but we cannot help that, for we
have no jurisdiction there. Then, TOO our

a matter Of history"

CARROLL HALL NO MORE.
Demolition Of Structure to Make Room
for Church Edifica.

The work of tearing down Carroll Hall.
one of the oldest auditoriums in the city, is
progressing rapidly. Carroll Hall was
erected shortly before the civil war on a
portion of the site selected by Father
Mathew for st. Patricks Church. The con-
gregation worshped in the hall during the
erection of the church. Charles Dickens on
his second tour Of this country delivered a
lecture in the hall, and many other distin-
guished personages were heard within It's
walls in earlier days. St. Vincent's Acad-
envy. which adjoins, is to be torn down, as
also is the rectory of the church, prepara-
tory to the erection of larger Catholic
community in connection with st. Patrick's
Church.
The academy will be conducted in Carroll
Institute during the rest of the school year.
The Sunday school of st. Patrick's will be
held in the National Rifles armory. Dur
ing the construction of the new rectory
temporary quarters will be maintained at

BIG PRIZE MONEY.
Trophies May Keep Amateur Golf
Championship Out Of st. Louis.

In spite Of the Efforts Of the Glen Echo

the tournament win be awarded to that

favor of having the championship sort Of

conservative policy OF those In control OF
the United States Golf Association would
hardly permit an Endorsement of q contest
that would SAVIOR So strongly Of pot hunt
ing, and the report that $4,000 is to be
distributed in prizes Is not likely to help
the clubs chances any. Moreover, the Glen
Echo club Is not an associate member OF
the association. and consequently not en-
titled under the bylaws to championship
award. Even IL elected to associate men,
bership the plan adopted last season OF
giving the championships In turn to GER
tain geographical sections would bar st.
Louis this year. The fulfllment of this
plan demands the recognition this season
of either the Philadelphia or Boston dis
trict, and the outlook now seems to favor
either the Huntingdon Valley Country Club
or the MyOpia Hunt Club
But IL St. Louis does not land the cham
pionship 1t is likely to be the scene of
several important tournaments, in addition
to the Olympic contests. The officials of
the western GOlI ASSOCIATION are SAID u

sissippi teams will probably be held there,
and 1t is not unlikely that several inter-
national matches of interest will also occur.

Team Standing.

Although the Bureau team did not touch
it's high-game mark of 1.O74. made just be-
fore the holidays, 1t broke all league ana
District records by scattering the naples
for the remarkable set Of 30O2, an average
of over 1000 per game. This brings their
game average up seven points-from 9Oi to
911-and IL they maintain anything approx
mating their present form 1t is unlikely
that their average will be below 800 at the
seasons close.
The trailers made the next best gain. ad-
vancing from 755 to 761. They also dis
placed $40 with SCI for high game. and
2.471 with 2.511 for high set. The final
game OF the Post Office ran up to lob. 81
pins higher than their best previous game.
Ali of the teams advanced In game average,
the Treasury jumping from $50 to 837;
Post Office. S66 to SO; Agriculture, 81 to
S25: Interior S94 to S97; Navy, So to $50,
and G. P. o., 631 to S34.
The record made by all of the teams. just
prior to the holidays, of an average of 800
for ten teams was nearly equaled last
week when the eight teams averaged 9O7

Remarkable List for tho Big u.s.
600 Stake.

The entry list for the SIS, 900 Brighton
handicap, at q mile and a quarter is a
record breaker. The completed list contains
eighty-six nominations. and Secretary John
Boden. jr.. said yesterday in New York that
he did not look for more unless in a de-
layed mail from California. Secretary b.
den called attention to the fact that this
stake. which Is the richest of its kind to
be decided on the eastern turf this year,
has attracted every horse of merit in train
ing and that 1t equals the historic Suburban
in point of class.
The entries as sent out have been arrang-
ed in alphabetical order. and beginning with
the famous Africander. a casual glance will
note such crack thoroughbreds as Advance
Guard, Acefull, Broomstick, Charles Ell
wood, Dick Welles. holder Of the world 8

burg Belle, last seasons Futurity winner;
Irish Lad who won the Brooklyn Handi-
cap year ago; Major Daingerfeld, Mizz5n
McChesney, the champion of the west; Pull
sus, another formidable candidate for three
year-old honors; Stalwart, of E. r. Thomas
string; Savable. Futurity winner in 1902:
The Picket. Whorler, and last, but by no
means least, Waterboy. the champion OF
them all.
Such a remarkable array Of thoroughbreds
shows that the efforts of the Brighton
Beach Racing Association to elevate the
character Of the sport have met with the
hearty cooperation of all owners and the
big handicap Is also sure OF the public's
support. Waterboy won the Brighton last
year, hanging UP the fastest time ever made
for the distance. Gold Heels. the year pre-
vious, also established record, and both
Waterboy and Gold Heels, because of those
achievements. earned the title of the horse
of the year. So it is not strange that turf
men have come to regard this particular
race as the means of deciding which is the
best horse In training from season to sea-
son. and the Brighton of next summer. from
present indications. will not prove an ex-
ception w. 8. Vosburgh. the official ham
