soIons of the older base ball organiza-
ton have been at loggerheads for three
days now over the playing schedule. and
today were little nearer a solution of
their differences than when the sessions
here began.
One prediction from well informed
source before the magnates resumed
their debate today was that the schedule
Monday next. The club presidents too
up proposed amendments to the consti-
tuition and let the rival schedule prop
ositiOns simmer. 1t was hoped by anx-
ious fans, however. that before night
the league would get down to the play
ing dates business again and settle the
d'srut.
The leagues voting strength as the
session was resumed was understood to
be equally divided between the long and
short schedule. President Brush of New
York is understood to have been won
over to the side of the northumberland
ffty-fOur-game season adherents, voting
with Messrs. Hermann of Cincinnati
Dreyfuss of Pittsburg and Dovey of Bos-
ton for the short season. Against them
for the MISUNDERSTANDING eight-game
proposition are lined up Messrs. Ebbetts
of Brooklyn, Murphy of Chicago, Robson
of st. Louis and Fogel of Philadelphia.
There were indications today that
neither of the schedules prepared in adj
vance would be adopted in its entirety.
reported to have offered compromise to
the Murphy-Ebbetts faction. one prop
osition being to close the season a little
later than the short schedule now pro-
vides for, allowing for games on Column

dons and Is Shot.

NEW YORK. February 17-Salvidere is
dead. The greatest son OF Belvidere that
ever looked through a bride died in har-
ness like the great courageous equine
bulldog that he was In order to put
him out of his misery, his owner, Thomas
Hitchcock, jr., ordered him shot. His
body now lies alongside the grave of
Good and Plenty at Westbury, Long Is
land.
1t was in 1905 that John E. Madden
bought him out Of the dispersal sale of
Harry Browns string OF racers, which
had been left by will to the Pittsburg
coal baron by his brother, the late Capt.
8. 8. Brown. The big chestnut son of
Belvidere-Salle OF Navarro had bad feet
and was passed up by many clever train
ers because he was unsound. But Mad
den was so impressed by the great race
Salvidere had made in his maiden effort.
when the fast Fountainblue only beat
him out a neck. that the Wizard bought
him in spite of his bad hoofs. Under
iMadden's care Salvidere won all his
starts, and ended the season the best colt
in training, with $4,000 to his credit.
In the spring of 1907 Salvidere nearly
died from an attack of catarrhal fever.
The malady was so bad that at one time
Madden thought the horse was afflicted
with CHAMBERS. He recovered, but look
more ike an dnlmdIeQ la1rack tndn
a race horse that competed for the rich
prizes of the turf. He failed to win his
first start, but did manage to beat out
Peter Pan, the hero, later, of the Brighton
handicap. In the fall he had so far re-
covered his health that he beat Ballot
for the Brighton cup preliminary.
1t was In the race for the Brighton cup
at pa miles, that Salvidere earned un-
dying fame as great racer. He stran-
gled Ballot at the end of a mile and a
half, after a heart-breaking struggle.
Then. in the final quarter, when Running
Water moved up from the rear fresh and
strong, he ran with her to the end and
beat her out by short head. He pulled
up practically on two legs. When he
hobbled back to the scales blood was
gushing from the heels of his forelegs.
The heels were cracked wide open and
were as raw as a fresh cut of beef. His
jockey said that he had felt Salvidere
finch with pain after running a mile. For
a mile and a quarter this thoroughbred
ran at top speed. although the agony he
suffered was intense.

CENTRALS' EASY TASK.
Catholic University Five Falls Prey
to the Baltimore Squad.

BALTIMORE, Md. February T.-In
the Central Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION gymnasium last night the Cen
trail five outplayed the quintet from the
Catholic University of Washington. de-
feating it in two twenty-minute halves
by the overwhelming score of 81 to IL.
The visitors came here with the repu-
tation OF being one Of the strongest
and fastest teams In Washington. How
ever, they failed to play a creditable game
against the locals.
The Central lads started in with a rush.
for they thought they were up against a
fast team, but after a few minutes OIL
play they realized that the game was not
going to be so hard as they had expected.
and from that moment until the end q
the game they kept the visitors busy try
ing to prevent them from running up the
score.
The Neutrality-suspicious. played q poor
game. They used very little judgment.
and seemed to be too confident OF an
easy victory until after the first five or
ten minutes OF play. Then they came to
the conclusion that they were up against
a mighty tough proposition They at
once took brace and set to work try
ing to stop the pace that the locals
were setting. but II was of no use.
Goal after goal the locals shot. and
when the dust of battle cleared away the
visitors discovered that they mad only
scored eleven. They were crushed.
The locals are highly elated over their
victory, and are going to endeavor to
lower the colors of the Washington Young
Mems Christian Association team. with
whom they will clash Saturday night in
the Central gymnasium.

Smokers Menace to Forestry.

From the Boston Transcript.
1t is estimated that the loss of the state
from forest fires in Massachusetts I'm 1900
amounts to s236,4TS. There were 1881
different fires. and the number of acres
burned over was 42.SOS. Analysing these
figures, the state forester finds that the
careless smoker who persists in the habit
when in woodlands or passing through
the country during the dry time Is the
greatest menace to future forestry In
Massachusetts.
