LEW wILTsE REfNsTATED.
Two Clubs Had Formed a Combina.
ton Against Him.

CINCINNATI. Ohio. December 2s.-In
a decision handed down today the ma
tionaI base ball commission declared Lew
F. Wiltse, who played with Newark, n.
j. last season, a free agent and eligible
to play under organized base ball
1t appears that several years ago Wiltse
was placed on the ineligible list for hav-
ing violated his contract with the Balti-
more club. During the past season the
commission. at the request of the player,
again made an examination of his appli-
cation for reinstatement and found that
there We're many extenuating circum-
stances connected with the case, and the
player was temporarily reinstated. He
finished the season with the Newark club.
Recently it has come to the commits
sion's notice the decision says, that IL
legal transactions were entered into by
two clubs which formerly had title to the
player. whereby he could not under the
national agreement have advanced in his
profession and for that reason he VIC
lated his contract. II is because of the
action of these two clubs the commission
decided to reinstate Wiltse.

MAy'1J
MULLGAN WILL RUN HERE CLOSE MATCHES DEVELOPED
FAST oUARTER-MILER WILL BE
IN THE FEDERAL GAMES.

The scholastic athletes of the south are
going to have some strong competition
from representatives of northern schools
in the federal indoor games at Conven-
ton Hall February II.
The Philadelphia Central High School
is the latest announced competitor for
the scholastic championship trophy. and
the prospective fight for the cup has now
resolved into a siX-cornered affair with
the Quakers. the Baltimore City Coll1ge.
the Episcopal High School of Alexandria,
Georgetown Prep. School. Central High
School of this city. present holders of the
championship and Woodberry Forest
School~as contenders. The winner of the
1858 trophy will score what will probably
be the hardest-earned victory in scholas
tic athletics in the south.
Capt. George HofStetter of the Quaker
city Central High School track team has
written Manager Stuart that his school
expects to send down strong crowd of
young athletes, who will have designs on
the pennsylvania alumni trophy, and
that they would also Ike to have relay
race for either one, two or four mile
team with some southern school, Contra
High of this city preferred. 1t now seems
probable that three-cornered race VII
be arranged for the Philadelphia institu-
ton and Baltimore and Washington
school
j. V. Mulligan. the old Georgetown ath-
lete and now one of the fastest quarter
mllers at the University of Pennsylvania
is the latest entry from the big colleges
Mul iSan will run in the 50-yard dash and
probably also in the J0-yard hurdle He
has only this season developed into an
indoor short-diStance runner. In games
in Philadelphia last month he was in a
special sprint with SeitZ. the former
Georgetown champion, and Cartmeu of
pennsylvania. the intercollegiate cham
pion, and was beaten only a half yard
at the tape by the big fellows. Mulligan has
a record inside of IL seconds for the quar-
ter mile and Mike Murphy expects to use
him for the Quakers' one-mile relaySteam
in the Pennsylvania relay carnival next
April.
Junior and intermediate athletic clubs
Will be more largely represented in the
1873 federal games than in previous years
The most active among this class are
the Belmont, the Gurley and the B oom-
ingdale clubs, and they will each have
relay team in competition in the inter
mediate class. Among the juniors tn !,
Tremonts, Potomacs Of South Washing
ton and the Aloysius have shown the
greatest signs of action up to date. but
there are three or four other young or
CARNATIONS who expect tn have teams in,
the Junior club relay championship
Entry blanks for the federal games VIII
be ready for distribution Wednesday, and
may be had from the sporting goods deal
ers of the city.

DEFEATED BY GOOD TEAM WORK
MIDsHIPMEN LOSE A BASKET
BALL GAME TO PENNSY.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
Mdshipmen lost a basket ball game to
the five of the University of Pennsyl-
vania here this afternoon by the decisive
score of 81 to 16. The visitors had a
heavier and more experienced team, and
showed far greater accuracy in shooting
for goals. Keinath. Fitzpatrick and Nc
Nichol, in particular, played games which
outclassed the Navy forwards The Mid
shipmen played a fast game individually
but they lacked the experience and team
work of the visitors. The Pennsylvanians
played a somewhat harder game than
the Navy players, but the contest was
sportsmanlike affair.
The Midshipmen put up a plucky. de-
Tense in the first half. the score for the
period being 10 to 10 in favor of the Wis
itors. In the second half, though it was
played more loosely on both sides, the
score was Is 10 q in favor of the visitors

Won IN LAST THREE SECONDS
1ocR. M. c. a. DEFEATS BEL
vEpEREs OF BALTIMORE.

In a game that was nip-and-tuck af
! fair from the first blow on the gong until
the final whistle of the referee the local
u. NJ. C. A./basket ball quint took it's
zane froHtthe Belvederes. twice cham
pfons OF Baltimore. last night by % to %.
The score was close throughout. the lead
zigzagging first from in favor of the
visfters, then fofthe locals. until finally,
With three seconds TO play, Scheurholtz
was fouled and Williams Gagged the win
ming point.
The contest was one of the fastest and
cieanest seen on the association floor this
season. The team work of the local quint
gladdeped the hearts of its cohorts and
show Cd = Needed improvement on pre-
vious form. The team bids fair now to
regain IT'S old-time style, as this victory
places il in the AL class. The visitors are
considered the strongest tea; in Balti-
more, and their scalp was decided ac-
QUESTION to the local camp. The playing
of Williams. the Y. NJ. c. AS plucky little
captain. easily gained favor in --.e eyes of
the spectators. Not only was his work
the cleanest and fastest, but the doughty
little player also succeeded in caging four
goals three OF which were from field and
the other the deciding goal from free toss.
A few minutes be fore the close of the
first half Smith was taken out and May
substituted. The change seemed to work
well, for Immediately after it Jones, with
the aid of May, succeeded in cagfng three
goals. The basket shooting of Jones was
a great surprise and he certainly de-
serves credit for the manner In which he
Gagged the oval. His five goals were the
record for the evening.
The visitors displayed ths best team
work and team shooting sem on local
floor this season. Their only fault lay in
the basket shooting. This, however, was
proba bly, caused by the fact that the men
have been unaccustomed to playing on so
large a floor and with side mes.

CHICAGO. i'll. December 2s.-With the
annual meeting of the American Asso-
citation scheduled for tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock, the minor leaguers have
ceased all talk of war, and indications
are that they will go on record tomorrow
as being opposed to any move which
might antagonize the national commits
sion. George Tebeau, owner of the Kan
sas City and Louisville clubs, who was re-
ported working with Havenor, and Presi-
dent OBrien to put an association club
in Chicago, was the only out-of-town mag
nate TO show himself today. He had
little to say about the much talked-of in
vasion. declaring he knew nothing about
the plans.
The work of the magnates will be made
up largely of routine affairs of the lAmeri-
can Association. II has been stated on
excellent authority that if the association
ever had any intention of transferring
franchise to this city no step toward
that end will be taken at tomorrow $
meeting.
Only Routine Questions Discussed.
By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 2S.-Directors of
the American Association of Base Ball
Clubs met today preparatory to the an
nual meeting of the association tomor-
row. Only few routine questions were
discussed. The directors talked over a
proposed new constitution for the league,
which, IL is declared. will probably be SUBJ
mitted to the general meeting on Sunday.
Informal discussions on the proposition
to place club in Chicago to compete
with the National and American league
teams were numerous, but none of the
conferees would discuss the results If
there were any.
One report which gained considerable
credence had it that the association would
another petition to the national base
ball commission asking that body to al
low the association to place team in
Chicago. President Johnson of the
American League. who is a member of
the commission, has already been in.
structed by his league to vote against
such a concession.
a second rumor which was current as
serted that the indianapolis. the Toledo
and the Columbus clubs. which had been
won over during the afternoon and would
vote tomorrow to give the ST. Paul fran
chise 20 James Callahan of Chicago.
President OBrien of the American AS
ISOLATION refusedNt make definite state
ment on the situation. He acknowledged
that the proposal ITO give Callahan fran
chise would be discussed tomorrow. but
limited that the chances for action to
that end were slight.
