Barney Dreyfuss Has Some Deals to
Propose.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PITTSBURG. Pa, December 9.-Whsn
the National League meeting opens at New
York next Tuesday there will be some live
ly dickering in selling and exchanging play
ers. President Barney Dreyfuss said today
that he does not intend to carry the entire
thirty-four players who are now on the list
of the Pittsburg base ball club and that
he has several good deals in view, which
will in all probability be consumma ted
when he meets the other magnates in New
York.
Some of the most important deals will
be in the trading OF inhelders for outielders
Dreyfuss is now carrying Howard HiIle-
brand and Joe Nealon for the initial bag.
Howard and Hillebrand have both shown
up. well in that capacity. and Nealon has
not yet had chance. as he was signed en-
ly recently from the Pacific Coast League.
From Barneys conversation 1t is safe to
say that Nealon Will not be one of the play
ers to go.
At third base Dreyfuss has Brain. Otto
Knabe and Tommy Leach. Leach Is too
good as q utility man for shortstop and
middlefield to be let 60 and one Of the
deals Barney is considering involves Knabe
and Brain. Wagner and Ritchey are sure
to be held for short and second. In the
ence Beaumont is suffering with an all
ment which has mystified some Of the best
surgeons and physicians in the country
Early last season he complained of pains
in the back. Later they shifted to the
knee and the trouble Is now located in the
right heel. Mike Murphy, trainer of the
University of Pennsylvania and famous for
his treatment Of athletic ailments, will ex-
anime Beau at Philadelphia Monday at
ternoon. Whatever advice Murphy offers
will be followed.
Dreyfuss is anxious to improve his pitch
ing STAFF. He is now carrying Lever Phil
lippe. Kinsella, Case, Flaherty, Lynch and
Leifield. If possible Dreyfuss Will trade
off two of these tw4rlers for a more season
ed pitcher.
The annual meeting of the Pittsburg club
will be held in Jersey City Wednesday. No
important changes are expected. Fred
Clarke teiagraphed Dreyfuss this afternoon
that his train from Kansas City was three
hours late, and 1t would be almost impos-
sible to reach here Sunday to accompany
the Pittsburg delegation to New York. Pres
ioent Dreyfuss and Beaumont will start
east Sunday. and after meeting Mike Mur-
ply will go on to New York.

HARNESS RACING RULES
Amendments May Be Made by the Ma
tional Trotting Association

The biennial congress of the National
Trotting Association will be held in New
York next February. That this congress
will be asked to amend the rules of harness
racing in such a way as to afford better
safeguards for the accuracy of records
made against time now seems certain, iudg-
ing from some of the comments heard AT
Madison Square Garden, New York, last
week concerning the recent performances
Of the famous PAGER. Dan Patch, at Mem
phis and other performances against time
last season.
AS the rules now stand, or as they have
been interpreted in the past, it is impossible
for the owner of a horse to arrange a trot-
ting meeting which is to all intents and
purposes private affair and in the pres
ence of a handful of spectators. and give
authenticity to a performance which sa-
Vors of a private trial
The notorious affair at Wichita, KAN in
which an attempt to give Cresceus, 2.02 IA
a record of 1.59 81 almost succeeded, and
would have succeeded but for the searching
investigation set on foot by w. III. Knight
secretary of the American Trotting Asso-
citation, is regarded as proof enough that
the rules now on the books need strength
ening
AS the rules now stand records against
time must be made at a regular meeting
which Is defined as a meeting advertised
ia OF iCetot pliS newspaper III the VICINITY
not less than one week before the COM
mencement of said meeting. and at which
meeting no less than two public races are
advertised for each day A public race
is amy contest between horses for pre-
MUM, purse, stake or wager, or involving
admission fees. on any course and in the
presence of judges and timers"
The way in which the sponsors for Dan
Patch's performance carried out the pro-
visions of the rules was to arrange two
dummy races, in each of which there were
two starters, in one of which 800 was not
beaten, while in the other a horse with a
record of 2.eS 3-4 won in 200. To time
these races and the trial OF Dan Patch, a
trainers assistant a man who takes care
OF the Memphis track and another unknown
10 fame in the horse world were selected
The names of the judges were those of
men likewise unknown to circuit followers
Under these conditions and circumstances
the performance of Dan Patch was made

TO BOOM INDOOR BASE BALL.
Efforts to Awaken Interest in 1t in
New York City.


NEW YORK, December 9-F. d. Baldwin
of New York has recently been appointed a
member OF tibet advisory board of the Unit
ed States to look after the indoor base ball
situation In the metropolitan section of New
York state. MIR. Baldwin is we'll known in
base ball circles. both IN the indoor and out
door game, having been connected with base
ball In managerial capacity for some
years. Indoor base ball has never been
very popular IN New York. which has been
attributed TO lack OF some one here to take
public in proper way. 1t has been in the
past and Is still played by few regimental
teams and teams of a few other organiza-
tions. but has never proven much of an at
traction on account of the style of playing
the indoor game and of its being confined
almost exclusively to regimental teams.
Indoor base ball. when played according
to the official rules adopted by the ma
tiona association. is Almost as interesting as
the outdoor game, and should prove as pop
ular sport in the winter months as out
door base ball Is in the summer. II Is
played extensively in the northern part of
the state and Canada. as we'll as all through
the northwest. in all the armorieS. athletic
clubs and gymnasiums. Regular leagues
have been formed in all the large cities and
schedules compiled for a number of games
with each team in order to decide the cham
pionship large number of the profess
sional base ball players who play in the
minor leagues throughout the country DUR
ing the summer can be found among the
ranks OF these indoor base ball teams. The
games have all been close and interesting
ana the race for the championship in each
league has been closely contested.

SPENCER ELECTED CAPTAIN.
Will Direct the Naval Academy Eleven
Next Season

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS. Nd. December 9.-MIdship-
man Herbert L. Spencer of Duluth. Mimi.
has been elected captain Of the Naval Acad-
envy foot ball team for the season OF 1898.
Midshipman Spencer was substitute back
on the team two years ago and has played
regularly at left half the past two seasons.
He is steady ground gamer and good on
the defense. He has undoubtedly gained
more yards than any other player on the
academy team during the past season.
Spencer weighs la pounds in training and
is not quite nineteen years old. 1t is be-
Heved at the academy that Spencer's work
should be recognized by his selection as at
least substitute on the All-American
team.
Rifle shooting will probably be recognized
as regular academy sport at the next
meeting of the Navy Athletic Association.
1t is proposed TO award the academy IN
in the color of khaki TO those winning
places on the team.

RELATIONS BROKEN OFF.
Harvard Drops Her Base Ball Games
With Princeton.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dlspateh 10 Ile Star.
PRINCETON, N. J., December 9.-News
was received here tonight that Harvard
had broken off base ball relations with
Princeton for next year. and that the ac-
customed contest would not be held in the
Jersey town In 1905 usual. The action
was taken because the Tigers would not
consent to the proposition from Cam
bridge which demanded two base ball
games every season. and would make no
ARRANGEMENTS for third in case of a tie.
Samuel j. Reid, the Princeton captain for
1906, went TO Harvard 10 straighten out the
matter, but when he consulted the author
tiles he found that they Were willing TO
break off all relations rather than play the
three games. The Tiger captain then pro-
posed that they stick to the old plan, which
has been in operation for a number OF
years and play one game, but rather than
do this Harvard was willing to sever rela-
lions. Prineetons idea in playing an odd
number of games was TO settle the cham
pionship each season and not have an even
split, which Is always productive OF bag
CLING as to which tenn is entitled to cham
pionship honors.
For about four years the two institutions
have played only one game season, but
previous to that time series was played.
Out of the twenty games which have been
played since 1895 Princeton has won six
teen and Harvard four.

INITIATIVE NOT TAKEN.
Princeton and Pennsylvania Have Not
Resumed Foot Ball Relations

PRINCETON, n. J., December Capt
Dillon of Princeton's foot ball team emphat-
ically denied tonight that he had stated in
Philadelphia Thursday night that Pennsyl-
vania and Princeton would resume foot ball
relations next year. He said: II have never
made such statement, and to my knowI-
edge Pennsylvania and Princeton now are
no nearer resumins relations than they have
been for several years past. In fact, neither
university has taken the initiative yet The
matter has not been discussed by the
Princeton authorities, and If 1t is to be dis
cussed have no idea how they will
view It."
