Allison of Carroll Institute and Cogsweil
of Georgetown Prep. These two lads
have met twice before this winter, and
both times the result was a draw. The
battle tonight will go until a decision
of some kind can be rendered. so that.
as both the youngsters are out for blood,
a hot scrap is sure to result
Moorman Of the Y. NJ. c. a. will have
task on his hands when he tries to
put Billie" Sitterding on his back. The
latter is one Of the wiriest lads ever soci
at Georgetown, and has worlds of ex-
perience in all branches of sport. which
cannot help but stand him in good stead
when the downtow goes after HIM.
Sftterding also won wrestling medal in
Joyce's gym meet last e ,emb-f.
]. E. Gaughan. Leo Joliat and r. Wy
men complete the Blue and Gray list.
They are all matched against Carroll
Institute men and class. respectively' at
116. 13S and 155 pounds. The first two
have won medals at Georgetown gym
meets. but the latter is new one with
no record behind him as mat artist.
He is we'll built. however. and in the pink
of condition. so that his lack Of expert
ence should not handicap him to any
great extent.
In all there will be ten bouts run off at
the tourney. ranging in weights from 1l3
pounds to 115 pounds. Gold medals will
be awarded the wi liners in each Class.
Pat O'Connor. an old professional, will
referee and John Merkling Of the insti-
tute will keep time. A. A. L. rules will
govern all bouts. Thus six minutes will
limit any one round. with three minutes
additional In case of a decision on points.
Prof. Joyce will be on hand to see that
everything runs off smoothly. When it
comes to making affairs of this kind sue
cessful the professor certainly takes the
cake. so that with him in charge there
ing's tourney will be one Of the best ever
seen in the city.

as Durhams s legal representative.
The conference was brief. After Sena-

the parties interested to agree upon a
price for the stock. This also consumed
but a few minutes, the figures first sug-
sested by Senator Durham not meeting
with the approval of Mr.. Potter, and final

and this was accepted by Mr.. Potter on
condition that 1t was agreeable to a ma
jority of the shareholders.
In a short time following this conference
Mr. Potter had been in communication
with all the original stockholders and 9TH
ers who had secured stock on the reor-
ganization of the club in the fall of 1904,
and to man they accepted the proffered
offer. 1t then only required the necessary
time to deposit the stock with Charles E..
Ingersoll. who. when all of the shares
were in his possession, completed the
deal through Mr. Brown by turning over
the stock in exchange for the money.

JOHN HATFIELD DEAD.
Champion Thrower of a Base Ball
Dies in Long Island CITY.

NEW YORK. February 24.-John B. v.
Hatfield. thirty years ago one of the best
known base ball players in the United
States. is dead at his former home. at
156 5th avenue. Long Island City, aged
sixty-two years. Hatfield played ball In
the days of the old Eckfords and Mu-
tuals. and he also held the worlds record
for a long-distance throw of a base ball.
which was made in Brooklyn October Is.
1872, when he threw a base ball 400 feet
~ inches. Since that time hundreds of
base ball enthusiasts have attempted to
equal or surpass this record. but without
success. 1t is said that Pitcher Ed Crane
of the Giants once accomplished the feat.
but owing to a lack of official corrobora-
tion Hatfield's long-distance throw re-
mained the standard.
Hatfields brother. "Gill'' Hatfield. was
once a member Of the Giants. After his
retirement from the ball field Hatfield
became interested in racing, and up to
the close of the tracks last season was q
familiar figure among the bookmakers.
He was also we'll known in Manhattan.
He was member of the Turf Benevolent
Association. His widow and one daugh-
tor survive him.

Senator Durham consummated the deal
whereby he becomes the principal stock
holder of the Phillies late yesterday after

years, ever since Messrs. Reach and Ro-

Durham has repeatedly expressed a desire

until about two weeks ago that the oppor-
tunity to possess himself of a ma ajority

the club from Reach and Rogers, who
were the original owners of the franchise

The annual crew prom" of Georgetown
University was held last night in the
ballroom of the Arlington Hotel. Over
fifty couples were present and many
beautiful gowns were TO be seen. The
affair easily surpassed all previous ones in

1t is planned to hold another one at
some time after the Lenten season in one
of the lighthouses on the Potomac. This
latter one. of course. will not be as formal
as the one of last evening, but will be

To do this, however. Virginia must win

contending schools would be tied for the

BASE BALL NOTES.

Harry Bemis the Cleveland catcher. is
making a hard fight for life. He is still
i'm a critical condition at his home.
Hans Wagner, the Pirates shortstop, is
playing a great game of basket ball this
winter. In a recent game he was the
star, making II points for his team.
Joe Corbett, brother of Jim, has signed
"a contract to pitch for the San Francisco
club of the Pacific Coast League.
Manager Fred Lake of the Boston
Americans takes the responsibility of the
Cy Young trade. and he is getting an
awful panning from the Boston fans.
Chicago would let st. Louis have Zim-
norman if Evers had signed. But Chance
says he needs Zimmerman for second, at
least until Evers joins the Cubs.
The Cubs are being touted as the pen
nant winners again by the western base
ball sharps. They base their opinions
on the fact that Chance will have the
their pitchers there will be no club in
the National League to stop them.
Jack Barry. who was with the Giants
and the Cardinals, says that he would not
go to the Milwaukee club for a million
dollars. He won't go unless he cuts down
on that price.
Speaking of advance money. the larg-
est sum ever paid at one time to a PLAYER
up to and including last year was handed
to Tony Mullane in November. 1884. by A.
S. Stern of the Cincinnati club, when he
paid his star pitcher $1,000. Mullane
signed a contract calling for $1,000
The Phillies will not shed any tears
over Stony McGlynn's transfer to the
Milwaukee club. While with st. Louis
the past few seasons McGlynn always
gave the Philles trouble to beat him.
Stalings is said to favor the suggestion
of Willie Keller that he be shifted from
right to left field. George still believes
that the Wee One can smite with the best
of em if he shakes the sun garden. That
right field up on the heights sure is a
tough one on the lamps.
When Arthur Bugs Raymond was to
depart for Marlin Springs with the rest
of the New York Giants players he said:
II am sorry 1 was traded. st. Louis Is
the best town on earth and is like home
to me. I'll do my best for McGraw and
hope that If we don't win the flag that

THE "TABASCO KID"

From the New York Mall

ginia, writes that he will obey orders and
report to Manager Stallings next week
but from the tone of the letter 1T is ap-
parent that Elberfeld is disappointed al
not being able to get away from New
York. Elberfeld says he will surely give
his best services. and that his leg is per-
fectly sound again, but he thought ii
would have been better If Manager Stall
lings had sold him to the Washington
club. Elberfeld was practically given tc
understand that he would be captain in
Washington, and the latter was ready to
pay him a handsome salary. But there
was a hitch over the details of the deal
Manager Stallings wanted Pitcher John
son, and when this was refused he placed
a price on Elberfeld that was too high
for the Washington club. But at that no.
body expects Elberfeld to last with the
Yankees. His fiery temper Is bound to
get him into trouble.

In a few days Mr.. Heydler will have
printed a pamphlet containing the
changes in rules adopted at the Chicago
meetings. The playing rules changes
have been told of. but there also are sew
eral changes of note in the scoring rules.
In case of an attempted double steal
from second to third and first to second
no steal at all shall be credited in case
one of the runners is thrown out.
This year the sacrifice fly goes. not
only when the ball is caught, but also
when, in the judgment Of the scorer, the
ball could have been caught. A wild
pitch or passed ball that allows a batter
to get to first is to be charged as a
fielding error. not merely a battery err
ror. as heretofore. In the case of a
dropped fly on which a base runner is
forced to move up no error shall be
charged to the fielder if he RECEIVERS and
throws the runner out at the next base.
Uniformity in scoring is the chief de-
sideratum, and so far as fixing on COM
mon method for scoring plays that
hitherto have been scored In different
ways is concerned the changes are for
the better.
