DETROIT. Mich. July 16.-Those Ma
tionals are promised a strenuous three
days here in Detroit This afternoon they
hustled out to the park early to take part in
a double header. and this morning there was
discussion of the ACCESSIBILITY of playing an
other double header Wednesday or
Thursday.
The Detroit people do not wish to play
another double header if il can be avoided,
but do not see how they sidestep it.
There are post pOnements with Boston and
New York to be played off next time the
east comes west. Those teams are likely to
be stronger then than now. while Washing
ton will never be in poorer shape. So 1t
looks like policy to get rid of the two Wash
ington postponements, to save strength for
the later double headers
The drawback to this is that playing three
games will up the Detroit and Wash
ington pitchers. Detroit wishes to save it's
own for the Athletics and would like to
save those of Washington for the Cleve
land series. 1t is between two fires.
The probability is that the club will take a
Nationals.
There was no chance to play a game yes
terday. The field was in bad shape at game
time. while the rain was pouring down.
Washington went to tie park, as there was
no rain falling when the bus was due at
the hotel. The team did not stay long.
They were hopeful of a change in the
luck here. In Chicago they say. the spikes
were being tossed around recklessly. and

The match yesterday was one of the best
and hardest fought ever seen at Wimble-

plauded the many brilliant shots with
great enthusiasm. The Australasians had

NO DANGER OF ICE FAMINE.
Denial of Charge That Price Has Been
Increased

Compared with last year, there is a re-
duction in the price of Ice In Washington.
instead Of an increase. as has been alleged
morning regarding a published statement
to the effect that famine prices prevail
here. Notwithstanding the fact that large
quantities of natural ice was harvested last
winter and all the ice plants are turning
out their full capacity every day" denied
the charge
Some of the largest local ice dealers
stated that the retail price for ice is exactly
the same as II was last summer and In pre-
vous years, which 40 cents per 100
pounds, and that there is a reduction In the
wholesale price. The wholesale price last
year was in many Instances 80 cents per
100 pounds, but it has never been higher
than - cents per 100 pounds this summer.
In a number of instances this year. IL Is
stated It has sold for u and 20 cents per
100 pounds wholesale.
The local ice dealers referred to Cen
eral Manager Kimberly of the American
Ice Company: Mr.. Peak. general secretary
and treasurer of the Columbia Ice Com
pany and the manager of the Home Ice
Company.
There is absolutely no danger of an ice
famine in Washington, these gentlemen
say There was a large quantity of nat
ural ice which harvested last winter,
placed in storage and all OF the ice manu-
featuring plants here are in excellent
working condition and working night
and day TO turn out a full capacity. The
dealers declare that the story claiming
that ice is being sold here at famine prices
is unfair and an injustice to them

minor leagues. and it is only natural tbat
the big league men should look to the
association for available talent. DURING
the past three seasons the association has
sent great many players into the major
league ranks, and while many Of them have
been returned, still there have been manv
more who are there now and who have be-
come stars. The crop will not be as large
for the big leagues this year as heretofore,
for the reason that there are many ex-
major leaguers in the association, and as
a rule the big fellows do not want the
same men back again unless they happen
to have string attachment. Already the
major league scouts have been following
the association teams about in order to
get a correct line on the best men for
various positions. The association owners
say they want to keep their teams intact
but just the same they are more than
willing to sell when they get good fat
prices for their men. Under the anew

RESIGNATION OF DREYFUS.
New Reason Now Given by a Paris
Journal.

PARIS, July 16.-The Patre yesterday
says the real reason for the recent resigna-
ton from the army of Maj. Alfred Dreyfus.
the former captain of artillery who was
sentenced on a charge Of treason to i'm
prisonment on Devils Island. was because
Gen. Picquart. the minister Of war. refused
to give him the rank of lieutenant colonel.
According to this newspaper. Dreyrus
thought that, in addition to receiving back
pay for the years he spent on Devils Island
and the decoration of an officer OF the
Legion Of Honor he should be promoted
to the rank he would have held had he con-
tinued to serve in the army.
Gen. Picquart thought 1t would be impoli-
tic to reopen the entire affair by making
this promotion. and therefore Dreyfus
signed.
Dreyfus has not as yet issued any state
