race against Major Delmar at Memphis
in 1904 and the valuable trophy when
the Memphis Trotting Association
sought to recover from Elmer +
Smathers was again in the New YorI
courts yesterday when ex-Congress-
man ]. J. Adams made application to
the supreme court to have the case
against Mr.. SmatherS dismissed on the
ground that the decision of the matter
by the National Trotting Association
had disposed of the charges.
The application was opposed by the
attorneys for Murray Howe and the
Memphis Association on the ground thai
the Memphis Association was not a
member Of the National Trotting AS
sociation and that any action by that
body could not affect it's claims. The
contention was upheld and the applica-
ton denied and the case will come to
trial within a few days.

phis Association, is now in this city

Lewiston, Me-, March 29.-The team

their season tickets now are assured of

John Carigan is classed as good sized

About the only bone of contention
now is Henry Breen, fielder, who was

Players VIII Wear Crepe In
Token Of Sympathy.
1snney's Men Defeat Disturbers...
White Sox Begin Wedding.

Thomasville, Ga, March 29.-The
matinee between the Boston regulars
and the second team was interrupted
Thursday by the news that "Chick"
Stahl had committed suicide.
At first the players could not believe
the news was true. When assured that
it was they all gathered around to take
a look at the telegram that conveyed
the sad tidings. and even then found
themselves almost unable to believe it.
The most profound sympathy was ex-
pressed on all sides.
Said President Dovey: II never had
the pleasure of meeting Mr.. Stahl until
tine recent schedule meeting in New
York, and he made n very fine impress
sion upon me. He struck me as being a
happy, genial, pleasant fellow and as
about the last who would make way
with his life I feel the most profound
sympathy for the widow in her terrible
bereavement; also for the president or
the Boston American League club and
for the comrades who held him in such
high esteem The Boston National
League players will wear crepe as an
expression of sympathy fer the loss the
game has sustained"
Said Fred Tenney: I'VE played to-
gether from 1897 to 1900, inclusive, and

President Dovcd wired his coincidence

players also to Mrs. Stahl. The Boston
club will be represented at the funera
by fine floral tribute.

GIlPATRlCk WILL SELL.
Biddeford Liable Not to Be In the
State League This Year.

The Biddeford Record says that
Manager Gilpatric will sell his base
ball plant at Bidedford but intimates
that he will put an extravagant price
on it. If that is so, it is not likely that
Biddeford will see State League base
ball this year If the grounds can be
leased there are parties who are willing
to take them.
Manager Paige of Bangor has filed
notice with the president of the Maine
League that he has accepted terms of
Harry Goode, IN infielder. This is the
man whom the Lewiston papers have
been saying is coming to that city.
The papers of that city are also mis-
taken in saying that it is settled that
Henry Merrill will play in Lewiston.
If Portland accepted Merrilrs terms, as
is claimed by President Vernon. before
that player signed the Lewiston con-
tract, he will without doubt play in
Portland, if anywhere in the Maine
League.

ganized baseball that players cannot be

CHARGE OF ROWING EVENTS.
Enolish A. r. A. Will Control Them At
Henley Course In July.

London, March 29.-The English
Amateur Rowing Association will have
charge of the rowing events to be held
the last week in July over the Henley
course in connection with the coming
Olympic games.
The rowing association has asked the
Olympic authorities for $4,000 to de-
fray the expenses of the regatta, and
each entry will have to come through
the parent or ruling rowing organiza-
ton in the various countries making
entries. 1t is felt that the Henley def
milton of an amateur will not be
strictly enforced. although the rules
Of the A. r. A. are just as prohibitive
as those of the Henley stewards, for
practically the same set of men engage
in both regattas.

A brother of Stahl arrived last night
from Fort Wayne and took charge of

deceased came to his death by his own

George has been II years in the big
