200 Mounted Men Will Awe
Philadelphia Rioters.
LAWLESSNESS is NEARING END
Heavy Sentences inflicted on a Num-
Der of Rioters Is Expected to
Have Good Effect
Strikers Confident.

Ali mounted and amply equipped
for any kind of service the four COM
panics Of the Pennsylvania state con-
stabUlary numbering over 200 men,
arrived in the city of Philadelphia to
assist the local authorities in main
tanning order while the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit company attempts to
operate it's cars.
Arriving in the railroad yards in the.
northern section of the city, each com
pany quickly detrained it's horses
while a curious crowd looked on. The
command to mount was given and
they clattered along the streets to the
Second Regiment armOry at Bread
street ana Susquehanna avenue, wke
headquarters have been established
during their stay here.
Local mounted police already have
demonstrated the effectiveness of cav
airy methods as applied to suppress
ing mObs, and with the aid of the state
troopers the police authorities antici-
pate little difficulty in suppressirg all
riots before they attain serious proper,
tons
The casualties as the result of the
lawlessness stands at six dead, sew
eral persons in serious condition in
hospitals, and more than 1000 suffer
ing from decorations inflicted by bull
let's, police clubs and thrown missiles.
The heavy sentences inflicted upon
some of the rioters in the courts is
-
work of maintaining order. One man
was given six years and several 9TH
ers were sentenced to terms of TWO
years each
A large number of other rioters
have been indicted and hundreds have
been placed under bail or sent to the
county prison for short terms by po-
lice magistrates.
Although the reign of lawlessness
appears TO be approaching an end, the
points at issue between the Philadel-
phia Rapid Transit company and the
Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Railway Employees re-
main unsettled and what looks like
a long, hard struggle for the recog-
milton of the Garments union is still
ahead.
G. o. Pratt, national organizer of the
union, and Peter Driscoll, president of
the local union, both express the opin-
ion that the men will win their fight
They base this belief, they say, on the
expressions of sympathy manifested
toward the union.
The strike has had a most serious
effect on business generally. Mer-
chants in the business sections of the
city are complaining bitterly over the
disturbed conditions.
One of the big department stores
has laid off more than 200 employees
until the strike is over because of the
curtailment of business and other big
establishments have also reduced their
working forces.
Both the labor leaders and the city
administration are preparing for the
expected demonstration next Saturday.
Director of Public Safety Clay said he
did not regard the proposed sympa-
thetic strike as a bluff and told of
plans for increasing the police force
in preparation for further trouble

HARD ON OUTLAWS.
Playing Under Assumed Name Does
Not Save Player Pokorney.

CINCINNATI. February 12-Playing
under an assumed name is not a legal
avoidance of the rules of organized base
ball. This is the substance of a de-
tision handed down tonight by the ma
tional base ball commission in the case
Of Player Pokorney, application for whose
reinstatement to the eligible list was
made by officials of the Toledo club OF
the American Association. Pokorney
originally was sold by Toledo to Evans
vile. but never reported to that club and
later under an assumed name played
with the California State League.
The commission in its findings says:
The fact that Pokorney used an as
sumed name cannot be used as an argu-
ment why the ineligibility against him
for his failure to report to the Evansville
club should be removed. The commission
therefore. refuses the request for re-
versal of the finding heretofore made.
The commission also recommends that
When the time limit of ineligibility
against this player has expired he be
given notice to show cause why penalty
Should not be inflicted against him"

May Play Mercersburg.

There IS also a probability that the
local lads will play against the crack
Mercersburg Academy team in Pennsyl-
vania before the campaign closes. In
asmuch as they are to compete In Ha-
gerstown against the st. James College
aggregation Of that place they will have
a big chance of making the trip a more
pretentious one, since Mercersburg is but
short distance from the Maryland
town. ihis was shown to Manager Jes-
sup yesterday, and he at once took steps
to gain the necessary consent of the
faculty toward negotiating for date
with the Quakers, and it is, therefore.
possible that these two big prep schools
will be seen in action together.
Probably the most important part of
the schedule in relation to local inter-
scholastic circles is the absence Of Tech
meal High School. 1t will be remem-
bered lnat the props and the Black
smiths got together last tall and arrang-
ed for a series of basket ball games,
which were never played, owing to the
disbanding of the high school quint.
However, as the Blue and Gray team
was never informed of any cancellation.
summary action was taken. and the Old
split again became evident. From the
base ball schedule 1t appears as though
there is little chance for the two schools
again getting together this year.

The schedule announced yesterday by
Manager Thomas Jessup of the George
town Prep base ball team, as printed
above, assumes proportions far greater
than any schedule of late years at the
Hilltop institution. This is partly due
to the new permission, which gives the
embryos certain number OF trips. and
to the existing fiourishing condition OF
the treasury. which at present has a
large balance on hand. With such ad-
vantages the Blue and Gray lads are
taking every opportunity to enlarge their
scope Of competition, and from present
prospects they are rapidly acquiring sue
cess.
The fact that arrangements have not
been completed with a large number OF
the smaller college teams of this vicinity
is due to the little time that has been
given Manager Jessup to schedule these
games. Soon after the reporting of the
candidates 1t was found that the team
was sure to be of very high caliber,
and hence 1t was decided to take on
stronger mines than have been listed in
past years, in order that the embryoS
might gain enough experience among the
smaller colleges to enable them to go
up to the ranks of future Georgetown
varsities fully equipped to cope with the
faster company. 1t is believed that this
will finally be accomplished, as the stand
Ing of the colts has always been hign.
and hence most of the smaller colleges
prevent them making the desired match
