ing just one point Of winning out.
Last nights play was easily the best

brilliant kind Of safety play and cleverly
executed shots. The finish was just as
exciting as the score would indicate, and
each man had six chances to annex the
point, which meant victory before DAILY
got the point The match went 116 in
nings and at the 10th inning the score
stood 149 to 129 in Days favor.
The men played a far more even game

nights score, and the latter soon Gol
ahead. DAILY with a run or four again
took the lead. but was overtaken, ana
the two were on even terms when twenty

! just before the finish. when DAILY jumped
to the front, the men were never sepa-
rated by more than two or three points

best was five. The two were Immediately

New York Millionaire.

BALTIMORE. Md, December 15-willie
Hoppe. the billiard expert, was married
this afternoon at the cathedral to Miss
Alice Walsh, only daughter of Thomas
Walsh, a wealthy clothing manufacturer
Of New York. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. P. c. Gavan. chancellor
of the archdiocese of Baltimore.
The marriage was the culninatio of All
elopment, it being bitterly opposed, it is
said, by the father of the bride. The
couple came to this city from New York
today. accompanied by Miss May Max
we'll. an intimate friend of Miss Walsh,
and Hopes manager. B. l.. Mank These,
with a Baltimore friend, were the only
witnesses to the ceremony. A necessary
preliminary to a marriage under such
conditions being the assent of the pastor
of the bride, this was obtained from New
York by longdistance telephone. The first
meeting of Hoppe and Miss Walsh is said
to have taken place three years ago at
Atlantic City. when the young lady's life
was saved by the man she today welded.

The question as to who will manage the
ex-Doves next season was not definitely
decided. Fred Tenny, former manager OF
the Boston club and recently first base
man for the Giants. was credited with the
statement that he would succeed Fred

change in fact. he had been told to go
right on and do business in buying or
selling players if he could make any
good bargains. he said.
President Lynch reported that during
the season there had been twenty-five
suspensions. fourteen fines, $3.50 in fines
collected and 4s4 dozen base balls used

MARYLAND ACC|ES
COMPLETE SCHEDULE
Basket Ball Games Arranged
With Best Teams in This
Vicinity.

The Maryland Aggies have completed
their basket ball schedule. and it is one
of the most ambitious ever attempted by
a minor school in this section. especially
when it is considered that this is the
first time in five years that the game has
been played vat the Maryland college.
However, it is thought that the team will
make a creditable showing against the
larger institutions which are to be played.
Upon the success of the five this year
depends the future of the sport at the
state school, and every effort will be made
| to turn out winning aggregation. Man.

BILE experience at the game, has charge

is not popular with the patrons Of the
game, and for that reason, if for no
other. l would not make any proposition
for Street.
McAleer does not seem to he at all an
nOyed by the fact that he is unable to
make any trades He feels that rather
than make deals by which he makes a
sacrifice it is wise for him to stand pat.
He figures that without making any
changes in his team he stands an ex-
cellent chance Of improving its standing
next year.
Il am not in a position where l want
to make changes for the mere sake of
doing something" said McAleer. Il was
meeting to make some trades. If it was
possible for ME to do so without weak
ening my team. however. l find that clubs
which have material which / could use
make exorbtant demands which virtually
put trades out Of the question. I figure
that / can go along with the material ]
have on hand and do much better than
did last year. There is, of course, always
chance that L may be able to pull of
something before the season opens but
unless I can better our condition have
no intention Of taking such stuff"
Owner Hedges of the ST. Louis club
has not as yet given out the name of his
new manager. There are all sorts Of
rumors flying around, among which the
name of Bill Donovan is to be found.
Hughey Jennings is not unwilling to al
low Donovan to go to the Browns as
manager. but as yet no deal has been
arranged whereby such a change will
take place. Jennings believes that Dono-
van has the making of a great leader, and
he has advised Hedges to take Donovan
to manage his team. Hedges, however, is
pessimistic on all suggestions. He seems
to labor under the impression that he is
most confident to judge what his team
needs and seems to doubt the sincerity Of
those who want to help him.
1t seems to be settled fact that Fred
Tenney will have charge OF the. Boston
Nationals next season. Tenney says it is
probable and so does Fred Lake, the
incumbent e, of the position. In that
event it is not at all unlikely that Lake
will be found at the head Of the Browns
next season.
Bill Murray is another one mentioned
in connection with the management Of
the Browns, though to date there has
been no conference between him and
Hedges. SO far as Wallace is concerned
it is decidedly questionable whether
he will get the place. and surely only If
Hedges fails to get one OF the managers

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. December 15.-Bob Hedges
will be out of. base ball before another
week. The owner of the ST. Louis
Browns has given notice that he must
sell his interests. ST. Louis parties will
be the purchasers. This stand against
Hedges by the American League is the
result of combination of circumstances
which, in the opinion of the league, make
him an undesirable man to be in base
ball. His peevish policy, his failure to
make an effort to build up team and
the fact that he is accused of dickering
with Fielder Jones without getting per-
mission from Comiskey to do so brought
about the climax. Even John L. Bruce.
one of the stockholders of the st. Louis
club. has turned against Hedges and
says he should get out of the game. Not
until the new owners have taken hold
will manager for the Browns be ap-
pointed. The deal whereby Hedges Will
be ousted will be approved by the league
before it goes out of session today.
The report that McAleer would be in
terested in the st. Louis club when the
new deal goes into effect is denied by
Ban johnson.
"MtAleer will have no interest in the
st. Louis club said Johnson.
There seems to be but little chance of
the Washington club figuring in any deals
for players. In fact, there does not ap-
pear to be any real desire on the part
Of any of the clubs of either major league
to make any swaps. Though there are
undoubtedly instances where some of the
clubs could better their condition by &C.
cepting offered trades, none of them seems
to have a nerve to take the chance. This
does not apply to McAleer; he Is willing
enough, but can find no one who will
make him anything like a reasonable
proposition.
After an hours conference with John
I. Taylor, owner Of the Boston club. Nc
Aleer was convinced that there was hard
ly a chance to make any trade with that
club. Taylor does not seem to want any
thing that Washington has excepting
Walter johnson. So far as Street is con-
cerned he cannot be approached.
PERSONALLY I consider Street very
good catcher" said Taylor, but the Bos-
ton public does not like Streets style
and to think Of trading Carrigan for him
| would be a serious mistake. There is, OF
| course, no sense in doing anything that

National League Elects Lynch Presi
dent. But Declines to Extend His
Term for More Than One Year.

NEW YORK. December 15--BOth the
National and American Leagues were in
session i'm this city yesterday. the older
organization at the Hotel Bresln, and the
Ban Johnsonites at the Hotel Wolcott.
This time it was National Leaguers who
realized the Importance OF doing some
thing and doing it quickly. 1t took the
magnates only short time to re-elect
Thomas ]. Lynch to the presidency of the
league for one year After the executive
session il was announced that Lynchs
election was unanimous.
Before the votes were cast President
Garry Hermann of the Cincinnati club
moved that the constitution of the
league he amended so that the term of
the president be extended beyond one
year. This was promptly voted down,
with New York, Cincinnati Pittsburg,
Boston and St. Louis voting in favor and
Brooklyn, Chicago and Philadelphia
against the motion.
The Ebbets-Murphy coalition had an
other chance to show it's opposition to
President Lynch. when it was moved to
abolish the schedule committee and
place the drawing Of the playing
schedule in the hands of the president.
This motion required six votes to pass.
and was defeated by the same vote that
beat the proposition to extend Lynch s
term to three years.

make. Arson says that as far back as
last August he asked John p. Harris to
set his price on the Boston Doves. Since
that time the club has been sold to a
syndicate at a very low figure. In
Pops mind he was thrown down for
keeps.
A New York paper, speaking of the
