NO SUNDAY BASEBALL.
The Brooklyn Club Decides Not to
PLay Game TO-day.

President Ebbets of the Brooklyn National
League baseball team announced yesterday that
no attempt would be made TO play a game with
Chicago to-day owing TO the insistence of the
police that If played the game should be abso-
lutely free without any sort Of subterfuge in the
way Of contribution boxes. Earlier in the day
the Brooklyn club had decided to play the game
in spite Of the police, but this plan aban-
doned. The game arranged for tomorrow will
be played Wednesday,
A conference on the enforcement of the Sun
day law against basebalI was held earlier in the
office Of Deputy Commissioner Arthur O'1.seffe,
at Brooklyn Police Headquarters. President
Ebbets, of the Brooklyn Baseball Club, Bernard
J. York, his counsel; President Murphy of the
Chicago club; Borough Inspector Cross and the
Deputy Commissioner all took part. The Dep
uty Commissioner said afterward: There shall
be violation of the law far baseball
is concerned. If the Brooklyns and ChicagOs
play and there is a contribution box in sight or
money is collected for admission the game will
be stopped and somebody will be arrested. Com
missioner Bingham has given the order, and
1t will be obeyed."
It is expected that the law viii be rigidly
enforced all over the city to-day against pro-
fessional and semi-professonal teams that col

NAY REPLY TO MITCHELL.
Coal Operators Think Some or Ills State
mcnts Come With Bad Grace.

1t is thought that the anthracite opera
tors committee Of seven will issue a state
ment in reply TO the statements of Presi-
dent Mitchell Of the United Mine Workers
in which he says among other things that
the operators charge exorbitant freight
rates and That the small advance Of wages
demanded by the miners might be taken
OFF these rates. On behalf of the operators
it was said last night:
This statement comes with bad grace
from Mr.. Mitchell in view Of the fact that
the operators had offered to submit their
books to show that they cannot advance
wages without raising the price of coal.
He did not see fit to take advantage of this
ofrer, and makes statements at random
which he cannot verify in any way"
Coal dealers who were seer yesterday
said that they were advising their customers
not to buy much coal at present. The
large dealers have been deluged with letters
asking for their advice as to buying coal
and have written letters in reply that the
weather conditions point to lower prices
II there is no strike and that even if there
is a strike there is no danger of dear coal.
The supply of anthracite at present is equal
to the demand as there is very little demand
for it in the domestic sizes on account of
the warm weather.

Special cable Dispatches 10 THE sun.
LONDON, April 3O.-A despatch to the
Times from Cairo says that Mukhtar Pasha
states that the Porte denies that the bound
airy pillars at Rafah were removed by
Turkish soldiers. 1t ascribes the outrage
to the malice of unknown persons, who
are anxious to provoke a quarrel etween
Egypt and Turkey.
According to Al MokdHdm. a we'll in
formed newspaper, the Turkish force on
the frontier near Rafah has received small
reenforcements of artillery n infantry.
1t is learned from a Syrian source That
four siege guns destined for Akabah we're
landed at Beirut on April 7 or s. They
were despatched from Damascus by night
with great secrecy.
Four or five mountain batteries reached
Maan at the end of March, in spite Of serious
railway accidents. Rather bellicose rumors
are prevalent in Damascus.
BERLIN, April 29.-The press strongly
srepudiates the suggestion that German
influence is in any way connected with the
attitude of the Sultan of Turkey in the
Egyptian boundary dispute.

FIFTY MINERS IN BlTTLE.
Two Wen Dying as Result or a Flight at
Paint Creek.

YOUNGSTOWN. Pa, April oo.--Two men are
dying in the Windber Hospital, a third is
seriously wounded, and a dozen others
are injured as the result of a fight bet ween
union and non-union miners at Paint Creek
early this morning. The trouble is an out
growth of the coal strike at Windber, about
a mile above Paint Creek.
Owing to the bars being closed there on
account of the strike the miners assembled
at the Paint Creek Hotel on Saturday night
to do their drinking. A striker called a
union man "a dirty scab" and the two
clinched, The union man was getting the
betterof the fight when his assailant drew "A
knife and slashed him in the abdomen and
across the chest. This was the start of n
general fight, in which over fifty men par
ticipated. Knives and revolvers were used
freely. The fighters worked their way
from the hotel and spread up and down the
tracks for fifty yards. The fact that the
list of injured is not large is due to the
intense darkness, as the men could not tell
If they were shooting friend or foe.
Word was sen to Windber, and Sheriff
Begley, with Lieut.. Fuerstein and the State
constabulary, fastened to the scene. The
arrival of the officers, who made wholesale
arrests, ended the fight.

Of the Luna county schools, one of the most
prominent educators in New Mexico and

limited that personal matters have also
into the quarrel.
1t is said that Duff had frequently threat
ened to shoot Dickey on sight. To-day it
was simply a question Of which could shoe
