any old place during the winter could
come to New York to live If the league
were organized. It is to be hoped that
this proposition goes through. If 1t
does it will be the means of putting
that gamc on the level it deserves, for
1t is one OF the cleanest of indoor
games.
James A. Hart says he is out OF
baseball forever, in spite Of Charley
Murphy. Mr.. Hart claims that he will
not allow his name to be mentioned
In connection with the National
League presidency. Now Murphy
comes forward with the name of Joe.
O'Brien, president Of the American
Association. One remembers that Mr..
O'Brien has been mentioned In that
third big league proposition, which Is
supposed to be looking with fond eyes
on Chicago. There are strange things
happening.
Frank Richter, OF Sporting Life, is
put out because newspaper men had
the nerve to say who'd they like to see
president of the National League. He
said that the newspaper men were CIV
ing too much space to John Heydler
and that In this matter Outside med
ding to the point Of attempted dicta-
tfon is sheer impudence." Too bad
about Mr.. Richter, wherever he comes
In from an official sense, to tell real
newspaper men what they should say.
There will be at least five organiza-
tions represented in the Holy Name
Society Bowling League in this city.
They are st. Josephs. st. Michaels, st.

announced in a few days. 1t was de-
cided by the representatives to post
pone that part Of the program until
after the formers schedule is decided
On. Each team will have five men and
five substitutes.
There's a rumor going he rounds
that John M. Chapman, who managed
the Velodrome during the season just
passed. will take charge of the Clifton
track next year. That place has been
leased by Edward w. Lands for seven
years. If Chapman takes the job 1t is

Sporting Editor Evening Star:
Kindly give you opinion as to which
should be the winner of a pool or last
Saturdays game in which the follow
ing scores were entered: Yale IL.
Princeton 0; Yale II, Princeton 5.
Among the terms of pool was this:
SHOULD there be no correct guess the
score Cor scores) nearest thereto will be
considered the winner w. j.
I would divide the pool between the
two men, because n man guessed the
correct Tiger score and the second the
Yale tally. If. however, but n man
must be picked-which doesn't seem ex-
actly fair-would say that man who
guessed the score the winner made,
rather than the one who guessed that
Princeton would not score, that vas
another bet, Is more entitled to honors.
I repeat, however, that I'd divide the
pool, as I think IN guess is as good as
a-nother.-Ed.
