Not Crossed During the Season.

The second Brookland foot ball eleven
closed the season Thursday with a victory
over the Murrays by the score of to o.
The team not only has defeated every team

been obtained by steady consistent prac-
tice the boys showing up for practice every
evening after school hours during the sea-

battle OF the season was that with the Muir
rays, but by steady line pIunges and run
ming of the guards and tackles their op-
ponents were overcome The most spec
tacular play of the season was Ehipiey's
70-yard run in the game with Friends Sc
lect School. This sturdy little player was
given the ball after Friends Select had lost
1t on Brookland's 5-yard line, and was never
headed until he had made the seventy

AMERICAN HOUNDS WIN.
Decision of the officials of the Meadow.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Speclal Dispatcn 10 Inc Star.
WESTBURY, L. l., December l6-Pure-
bred American foxhounds will lead the fol-
lowers of the Meadowbrook Hunt from now
on as the result of the recent interna-
tional field trials between the packs OF
American and English foxhounds The re-
suit is a distinct triumph for American
ideas. At the trials recently held In vir-
ginia American-bred hounds on their ma
tive soil proved their superiority, and
caused the report to be made to the club
which will do away with, the foreign whelp-
ed and reared stock For several years the
packs have been imported from abroad at
great expense. John Foster, an English
gentleman huntsman, will shortly return to
his home, and the Meadowbrook pack Of
imported hounds will be sold as the direct
result OF the decision of the officers of the
famous club.
The American foxhound has at last
come into his own said a member at the
club house And both cross-country riders
and followers of the sport have long been
ardent admirers of the type of hound which
will henceforth hold sway on Long Island
moors and glens permanently, Instead OF
the dogs bred abroad"

BALTIMORE, Md, December led

Brooklyn Base Ball Club, returned to Bal
tinlore today. He gave an interesting ac-
count of how he came to sign to man.
age the Cincinnati club next season. He
said:
II went to the New York meeting with the
firm conviction that l would continue to
manage the Brooklyn club. My family in
terests and my other convictions tended
all that way. ] had had preliminary talks
with Messrs. Ebbetts and Medicus, had
stated my terms, and had been given every
reason to believe that they would be ac-
cepted. Needless TO say without such ac-
ceptance in such way that l could not
be thrown down again as was last year,
could, not afford to tie-up again with
Brooklyn. i had been approached by Presi-
dent Hermann of Cincinnati and Mr.. STAN
ley Robson of st. Louis a long time ago,
but gave neither encouragement. Both
men, however believing that as long as 1
did not actually sign with Brooklyn, there
was hope for them, stuck to me.
Resented His Treatment

week and gave repeated chances to Messrs.
Ebbetts and Medieus to conclude their
business with me. / made appointments

Brooklyn people were the ones who failed
to be present at the meeting place. L

like dog. and l simply declined to sub
init to such treatment any longer.
President Hermann grew more insistent
as he saw how things WERE and on Tues

my terms, and Mr.. Hermann agreed to
them instantly. ] still gave him no hope
however. believing even at that time every
thing would be fixed up with Brooklyn.

best method to accomplish this, in the

to keep the defending line weakened by
