Inmates Of st. Eliza beths Treated to a.
Vaudeville Entertainment.

The patients and employees of St Eliza
beth Asylum for the Insane were enter
tanned with a vaudeville bill last evening
in the playhouse of the institution Anna
teur performers from the city were in the
cast and the various numbers on the pro-
gram were well received. The principal
parts We're taken by Joseph Gross who
sang number of up-to-date songs; Chris
Sproesser, who appeared as the boy with
the educated feet; Bill Franklin and Paul
Oliveri, in the sketch entitled "On Picket
Duty Edward George in the role of a
trapese performer; Walter Sonheimer in a
Hebrew dialogue; Lola Williams and Ollie
johnson as the little entertainers The
performance terminated with one-act
comedy entitled Fake Telephone Office"
in which Edward Oliver Bill Franklin, Lola
Williams, Ollie johnson, Walter Sonheimer,
Bessie George, Olive HausenHuck and Paul
CIiveri took part.
The enlarged facilities at the Government
Hospital for the Insane have rendered it
unnecessary that the two cottages on the
east side of Nichols avenue which were
used as houses for patients, be longer oc-
cupfed for this latter purpose. They have
been transferred to the use of employees of
the hospital with their families. The in
mates who were cared for there have been
removed to the institution proper.

half of the club officials to all those who
call, and there will be an expert present
who will give an exhibition in the art Of
knocking down the wooden soldiers"
The club has had set of new alleys laid
and from their appearance several high
scores will be made during the remainder
of the season The alleys are of the finest
maple, the regulation length, with the re-
turn on the left-hand side, so as to not In
any way interfere with the men delivering
the ball.
With the alleys completed enthusiasm Is
running high. and already there are two
duckpin leagues in sight. AS the regular
league season is half over. there will

Leighton Calkins, chairman of the Metro

tee, announced yesterday that the first re-
port has been received from the Shinnecock
Hills Golf Club. J. Metcalfe Thomas is
chairman of the Shinnecock handicap COM

directions having been followed in detail.
The main thing in making out the ratings
is to find the best score average, and
clubs which have not preserved the records
OF last seasons play or which failed to keep
such records during the season will not be
able to make returns promptly, as 1t will
be necessary to send out reply postals to
their members in order to get their five best
scores. Promptness of the kind shown is
greatly appreciated by the committee.

FLICK AND BRADLEY
SIGN CONTRACTS.

CLEVELAND, January 6.-Right Fielder
Elmer Flick and Third Baseman Bill Brad
ley of the local base bali club celebrated
the new year yesterday by signing their
contracts for 1905. A year ago these two
were the last to sign, kicking on the salary
cuts they had received. while two years
ago Flick did not sign until he started on
the training trip.
The fact that they have signed at this
early time indicates that the terms offered
by the club management this time were
perfectly satisfactory. In fact, Flick init
mated as much. It 10 not thought that

PULLIAM OPPOSED
TO CHANGING FOUL STRIKE

NEW YORK, January 6.-President II. C.
Pulliam of the National League of Profess
sional Base Ball Clubs does not believe that
there will be any material change in the
playing rules from those that prevailed
during the last championship season. When
asked whether the game could not be made
more interesting by the elimination Of the
foul strike rule SO as to produce better
exhibition OF batting, the man who but re-
entity overcame the most powerful inf1u-
ence ever brought to bear to defeat an
official of the league replied that In his
opinion the rules were eminently satisfac-
tory as they were.
why. I think 1t would be suicidal to
change the foul strike rule said Presi-
dent Pulliam. For an example we will take
the worlds championship series of last
year. There was no very great exhibition
OF batting in any Of these games. but
there was an extraordinary display of
pitching and excellent fielding. Not a single
unfavorable comment that I heard was
made as to the batting. The games pleased
everybody. While there was slump in
batting on the American League, the same
cannot be said in our organization. Why.
we had twenty-one batsmen with averages
ranging from go to 800 and over last year,
against about half that number the year
before. No, ii Is not the foul strike rule
that is chiefly responsible for the absence
OF good hitters, but It Is the efficiency of
the pitchers. and the National League had
without question the champion In Mathew
son. Patrons of the national game are as
enthusiastic over skillful pitching as good
batting and because a man who is known
to be reliable batsman has two strikes
called on him because of fouls l cannot
see why the foul strike rule should be
condemned In consequence.
President Pulliam further said he would
meet President johnson Of the American
League at the joint meeting of the sched-
ule committees of the two leagues in New
York and would then announce his staff of
umpires. The National League executive
said it was untrue that he had difficulty
in selecting the proper men to offic1ate as

play were in evidence throughout the

Mclaughlin began well. making a count
of 46 in the second inning, but a similar
count by Cutler in the following inning

LAVE CROSS WANTED
TO CHANGE CLUBS.

The Philadelphia correspondent of the
ST. Louis Sporting News has the following
to say about the Lave Cross transfer 10
this city:
The release of the veteran Lave Cross
to the Washington club has been pending
for several months but guarded SO
well that no inkling of it leaked out be-
fore it was finally contaminated.
1t started some time before the close
of the 1905 championship season. Prob
ably on account of a batting slump, Cross
was dissatisfied not only with his sur
roundings, but with himself and everything
else. At one time he seriously consem-
plated retiring from the diamond before
the close of last season. He spoke to Mail
ager Mack about the matter, but Connie
jollied him along and told him to forget
it. Finally Lave one day expressed a wish
for a change, which, he said, he believed
would do him good, and mentioned Wash
ington as the club which he might like
and which might want him.
Manager Mack then gave him permits
sion to negotiate with that club, and after
Lave and Manager Stahl had arranged
the deal Connie gave his assent. The
Athletics will get some money and the
option on a certain Washington player
for TaVe'S release
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-01-06
Relations Are Cordial.

Rumors have been rife ever since the
recent worlds series that Lave and Connie
had misunderstanding and there was
a GOODNESS between them, which accounted
for the absence of Cross at the banquet
given by the Athletic Club to its players
and the local newspaper men at the close
of the season. When l mentioned this tG
Connie several days ago the old fox re-
Piled:
There is no trouble between US that
know of nor has there ever been any
The last time l saw Lave he was cheerful
so you see the report that we are not on
speaking terms IS untrue. IT, as you say
Lave was dissa tisfied with the salary and
the extra money we paid him for captain
ing the team, / am not aware of 1t. But
I'll say this I'll wager Lave will never
again get as much money from any club
as he got from us every year he has been
with U.S. That's all | will say about the
matter.
II shall certainly always speak well Of
Lave. He was with me for five seasons
was model ball player during that time,
always tried his best and played really eX-
cellent ball for me, helped materially to win
two championships, never caused me the
least bit of trouble and always acted the
part of a gentleman, both on and off the
field. No ball player could ask for or be
given better recommendation by his man.

from the bottom of my heart as sincere.

Should Strengthen Stahl's Team.

Lave was a tower of strength to us for
five years. and should be a good man for
Washington, vastly Strengthening Stahl's
team Lave became dissatisfied with HIM
self last season because things did not break
just right for him, especially in batting
The average ball player, you know, gets the
dumps when he falls away in his batting,
and that Is what gave Lave the blues.
did not want to stand in his way, especially
when I was as well fixed to let him go as
am at present, SO [ interposed no objection
after he had fixed up a deal with Stahl to
go to Washington.
II have good man to take his place as
captain in Harry Davis, and out of eight or
ten young infielders under contract, all high
ly touted. l am sure to find worthy sue
cessor to Lave at third base. In fact, l feel
assured now that | will have at least as
good a third baseman next year as l had
this past season, and in saying this l do not
mean to reflect upon Laves ability as a ball
player. I simply mean that I have some
corking good youngsters on my list right
now"
