GENERAL SPORTING NEWS Just before President N, H. Young left here this afternoon for New York, to at- tend the meeting of the league, he pro- mulgated the contract of Danny Coogan to catch for the Washington club during the present season. An effort has been made to discredit Coogan’s contract with the Wagners, and denials have been sent out to that effect purporting to be author- ized by Coogan. President Young showed the contract to a Star reoprter, and remarked that he could not understand why there should be any secrecy about the transaction. Coogan’s work behind the bat for the University of Pennsylvania has been one of the features of amateur base ball for several years past, and when it was hinted that he might go into professionalism after finish- ing his course at the University ef Penn- sylvania there was a grand scramble for his services. He is now a full-fledged mem- ber of the Washington club, for bis con- tract was today approved by President Young, and it will be forwarded to him by the next mail. : TO IMPROVE THE GAME. Recommendations of the Base Ball Rules Committee. The rules committee of the National Base Ball League, in session at New York, has chiefly endeavored to do away with senseless “‘kicking’’ by players on the field and to prevent the use of ruffianly lan- guage. If the committee’s report is ac- cepted by the league and the umpires en- force the power reposed in them, one of the greatest puisances of base ball will this year be abolished. The re ort advises that “any player other than tho captain leaving his position in the field cr leaving the bench to question a decision of the umpire shall be fined $10 for the first offense, and for the second offense shall be removed from the game and re- quired to leave the field forthwith. Players violating the coaching rules shall, upon a repetition of their offerse, subject their en- tire team to a surrender of all coaching privileges during a remainder of the game, and any player removed from a contest for using bad language shall be ineligible to play in a championship game for the next three succeeding days.” The committee evidently realized that the Present rules against noisy and senseless coaching and kicking are stringent enough, but that the fault is in their non-enforce- ment, for they made the following recom- mendation regarding umpires: “It shall be the duty of the umpire to enforet the rules as they are written, regardless of his per- sonal opinion. This shall especially apply to section 3 of rule 56, and in the event of his failure to conform to these rules he shail be fined $10 for each offense, upon the orn statement of the captain of one of the opposing teams and two reputable wit- nesses, whose affidavits must be forwarded to the secretary of the league within twenty- four hours after the offense.” One Minute to Leave. A player who has been ordered out of the game by the umpire for insubordination will henceforth be allowed but one minute to leave the field, instead of five minutes, as heretofore. ‘The rule regulating the length and thick- ness of the bat has been altered, leaving only the provision that the bat shall be round and composed of solid, hard wood. Soft wood bats will not be permitted. A radical change was made regarding the style of gloves or mitts permissible for use in the fi2ld. A new rule has been formed as section 2 of rule 19. It was as follow: “No player, except the catcher or first bas man, shall be permitted to wear padded or lined mitts or gloves.” This does away with the use of heavy gloves in the infield or outfield, although Players in those positions will still be al- lowed to use heavy unlined or unpadded gloves. Rule 45 made “two out” when a player batted out of turn, the offender and the one whose turn it was to bat. The rule makes only the offender ‘‘out ruling on “trapped’ balls was changed, making it necessary that two or a ee shall be on bases when the play made. Foul Tip a Strike. ‘The foul tip will, under the new rule, be considered as a strike if the catcher catches it while “under the bat.” The rule reads: “A ball tipped by the batsman and caught by the catcher within the ten-foot line is a strike.” Section 2 of rule 14 was changed a bit, the last clause being struck out and the fol- lowing substituted: “Alternate or néw ball so delivered to pitcher may be discolored by him, but by no other player, but in so doing he shall resort to no other means than by rubbing with his hands, and shall use no foreign substance other than earth, and said ball shall not be rolled or passed from player to player.” All balls rolling or bounding foul will hereafter be called fcul balls, according to the change in rule 39. Formerly a ball dropping inside the foul line and rolling out was a fair ball. A new deiinition was given to the bunt. It was embodied in rule 40 and reads: “A bunt hit is a deliberate at- tempt on the part of the batsman to hit a ball slowly within the infield, so that it cannot be fielded by any infielder in time to retire the batsman.” Of course, the committee’s recommenda- tions must be approved by the league to be binding. RILLIARDS PLAY cD BETTER NOW. Even Champions Played a Poor Game Twenty-Five Years Ago. “Young billiard players have Httle con- ception how poorly the game used to he Played twenty-five years ago,” said a cue handler to 8 New York Sun reporter re- cently. “It is scarcely too much to say that an average player of today could beat most of the champions of my boyhood. A run of 100 points, with the aid of the push shot, in a four-ball game, was con- A STUDY CF FACES, No matter where you go, will show you how many, many people cught to be taking Ca-isbad Sprudel Salt! ‘There's the thin, peaked face that tells of perverted nutrition.

The pockets were Hable to spoil a run, ag a fellow often holed his own ball, despite his best calcu- lations, -but, in the course of time, the corner pockets became the means of mak- ing enormcus runs. It was only a knack to wedge two balls in one of them, on which a player could carom almost indefi- nitely, It was this sort of thing, probably, which caused the carom to be substituted for the pocket game, “I have given up the game because I plex 80 poorly; yet, in the days of pockets, used to double discount and sometimes grand discount the average players of that time. I was an infant. phenomenon, and played what was considered a good game when I was a boy of ten; at sixteen I used generally to have a crowd of spec- tators around the table when I played in a public hall. I play as well now as I did then, for, funny enough, lack of practice does not seem to make much difference in my game, and yet, as I have said, I have given up playing because I play 80 poorly compared with the average player.” RACING AT ARLINGTON. The Meeting Probably to Continue Until Mareh 9. ‘The managers of the running meeting at Arlington, Md., state that, in all proba- bility, the racing at the track will be con- tinued until March 9, inclusive. This is not @ definite conclusion, but the indications are that such a plan will be pursued. It was also learned that the Old Dominion track, at Alexander Island, will begin rac- ing on Friday, despite the fact that it has been refused a permit by the western turf congress. Yesterday's sport was, perhaps, the best of the meeting. Three favorites, a second choice and cne outsider carried off the hcnors, and the speculators went home fedling on pretty good terms with them- gelves. The weather was ideal,, the track fast, and the crowd large enough to keep eight books busy aJl during the afternoon. The winners were Ellen H., Elizabeth, Bel- wood, Halcyon and Hay Tay. WASHIN. ‘TONS CATCHER. Arthur Irwin Says That He Surpasses Any Minor Leaguer. Danny Coogan signed to catch for the Washington (league) team on Saturday af- ternoon, says the Philadelphia Press. Any previous statement of Coogan’s having signed a professional contract was without basis. But, as The Star said two weeks ago, he had agreed to play here, and it was understood that the announcement would be made on the 15th. Coogan even now is not elated over his choice, but thought it was his best oppor- tunity. He has to depend entirely upon his own resources for support, and now that he sees his college days drawing to an end (he 1s a senior) he finds it more remuner- ative to become a professional ball player than to choose any other occupation, and knowing that, barring accidents of excep- tional nature, he has a long career upon the diamond before him in which he should be able to lay by a competence, he decided upon the step he has taken. ~ Coogan is about twenty years of age, five feet eight inches in height, and weighs close on to 130 pounds. He is extremely wiry and nervy,and as active as it is possible to imagine. He is a plucky player, and has @ good head. As soon as Coogan gets used to fast league ball he will hold up his end acceptably. Arthur Irwin says of him: “He is a fast player and better than any catch- er in the minor leagues, besides being the superior of some now catching in the bi league. Coogan is a fair batter and above the average as a base runner. He played ball first as a school boy upon the Girard College team, and has served three years upon the University of Pennsylvania nine. Washington is the best club he could join, it having but o1 a Gui me capable catcher, Mc THE WHIST CONGRESS. Annual Convention to Be Held at Indianapolis, The executive committee of the American Whist League met recently in Indianapolis and perfected arrangements for this year’s whist congress, which will be held in that city. The convention will open June 18 and continue through to June 22. There will be six matches—the Hamilton Club trophy tournament, which decides the champion- ship of the country; the American Whist League trophy contest, first and second progressive matches for fours, general pro- gressive match for pairs, and a general match at straight whist. While the executive committee was in session at Indianapolis, the Hamilton Club of Philadelphia sent out a team to battle with the Minneapolis Club for possession of the American Whist League trophy held by that club since the congress last year. This trophy may be challenged for at in- tervals during the ye: The Minneapolis team had defended it successfully against four western clubs, but they encountered defeat at the hands of the Hamiltons, and the trophy is now in possession of the Phil- adelphia club. Since the trophy has come east the Ham- iltons have been overwhelmed with chal- lenges, and they will be kept busy for the next month or two defending it. The clubs which are going to make a fight for it are from Newton, Mass.; Brooklyn, Baltimore, Washington, Wilmington, Del; Albany, Easton, Pa., and Philadelphia. NEW RULES. Speculating as to the Size of Cup De- fender’s Crew. A special meeting of the New York Yacht Club was held at the club house in New York last evening to ratify the action of the club at its meeting of February 14, on which date several important amendments to the constitution ard the new rating classification were adopted. The new racing rules were unanimously adopted, as well as rules relating to the house committee. It had been stated that at last night's meeting the question would be settled defin- itely as to the exact number of men to be allowed in the crew of the new cup de- fender, and the impression was given that the club had the power to do this. Inas- much as the actual dimensions of the, new cup defender are not positively known, this matter was not considered from any point whatever. “Of course, under the new ruling,” said one of the members, “the number of men each boat shall carry is limited, and it can be easily figured that if the new cup de- fender is over ninety-five feet she will carry the number of men allowed a hundred-foot rater, which would be sixty men.” It will be remembered that one of the stipulatiuns of Lord Dunraven’s challenge, which was agreed to, was that the racing length of the cup defender should be de- termined when all the crew are on board. With this agreement and the rule of the club limiting the crew, it is thought there will be no such difficulty over this matter as occurred during the international race of 1893. ¥or Charley Manning's Mother. ‘Those who were acquainted with the late Charles Manning, the ex-champion pool player, did not forget to pay their respects to his memory on the occasion of a benefit last night in New York. The testimonial was arranged by a bosom friend of the dead pool expert, and it proved to be a big success. The receipts, which will be turned over to Mrs. Manning, the mother of the deceased, netted a tidy sum, and will en- able the afflicted parent to forget her trou- ble and great loss at least for a time. May Stop Racing After Saturday. From the New York Sun. BALTIMORE, February 25.—President Coolahan of the Baltimore Jockey Club returned this morning from Washington, where he had gone on Saturday night, to see if some arrangements could be made with the Old Dominion Jockey Club where- by his club could secure some dates from them. While in Washington he had an in- terview with President Jones, but could not make any arrangements, as Jones in- formed him that the meeting at Alexander Island would open positively on Friday, and this was confirmed by Secretary Tomp- kins, who sent out the first official notice this afternoon. President Coolahan stated that the meet- ing would be run in opposition to the Alex- ander Island track until Saturday week. ‘At @ meeting of the stockholders, however, held after the races were over today, it was decided to continue until Saturday as a@ trial. If the club can make expenses Friday and Saturday the meeting will-be Po cnees a week or probably two weeks longer. This seems to be a rather fvolish move oa their part, as ajl the horses, tal- ent and bookmakers for the most part, have signified their intention of sterting for Washington on Thursday, night, aud are glad to leave. dF Bired by Ofmopde, Fairy Rore, the Palo Aléo brood mare, has foaled a filly by fhe @reat Ormonde, and W.

President Mafiitt’s Announcement. President C. C. Maffitt c* the Western turf congress announces that the con- gress, which has been voting by telegraph upon the question, has refused to issue a license to the Alexander Island track. To Race at East St. Louis. The East St. Lovis Jockey Club has de- cided to reopen its track next Satur- day. No license from the turf congress will be asked for at present, but in view of the fact that the track may apply for one later, no outlawed horses, owners or jockeys will be allowed to participate in the coming meeting. In deciding to run every day and barring the Madison horses, owners and jockeys, the East St. Louis people will clash with the Madison track, and naturally this will bring about another race track war. Capt. Sinclair will pre- side at East St. Louis, with J. W. Brook handling the flag. Base Ball Season in England. At a meeting in London yesterday of the Base Ball Association it was decided to play forty-two games during the coming season, which will open in May. Extensive grounds have been secured, and American teams are expected to compete with the English teams. There were 150 persons present at the meeting. Friendly Boxing Ends Tragically. John Gatton and Amos Goodwin en- gaged in a friendly boxing match ten miles from Owensboro’, Ky., on Saturday night. Goodwin became angry and shot Gatton dead. Goodwin has not been caught. Both are young. Smith and Pritchard Matched. A match has been arranged between Smith and Pritchard to box twenty rounds in London on May 10 for £400-and the best purse offered. Will Play the Carrolls. On Saturday night the first of a series of three contests will begin at the Balti- more Catholic Club, when both pool and tenpins will be played between the home club and Carroll Institute of this city. Princeton’s ’Varsity Nine. In response to an order from Capt-Brooks all of last year’s Princeton ‘Varsity team appeared in the cage yesterday and in- dulged in light practice. The work for the remainder of the week will consist of throwing and fielding and afterward of bat- ting and sliding bases: Williams, catcher; Altman, pitcher; Otto," first base; Brooks, second; Gunster, thirdy Ward, short stop, and Payen, left field, are fixtures. Bradiey and Titus will probably be the substitute battery. The most’ promising candidates for outfield are Smail, Thomas, Ward, Rud- der and Reiter. Asbury Park ‘Cycle Meet. Messrs.

Absolutely nothing has been said or written upon the subject by either Yale or Princeton, and the latter makes this reply in justice to Yale and her- self. AN OUT-AND-OUT KEEL BOAT. The New Cup Defender Will Have a Draught of Seventeen Feet. A dispatch to the Boston Globe from Bristol, R. I, says: The latest information from’the Herreshoff works is so positive in its character as to leave no reasonable doubt as to the type, general dimensions and construction of the new cup defender. She is an out-and-out keel boat—an im- proved Colonia—and will be of Tobin bronze construction--Tobin bronze plates on. steel frames. She will be eighty-nine feet on the water line, about twenty-four feet beam and something over seventeen feet draught, or four feet longer on the water line than Colonia, about the same beam and with over two feet more draught. — A Well-Known Edueator Dead. Prof, James Richard Monks, superine tenucit ob & av of the Elmira State Reformatory, died sud- denly at his home at Elmira, N. Y., yes- terday from heart disease. He was fifty- one years old. His reputation is based principally upon his work as the head of the reformatory school system, which he raised to a high degree of efficiency, at- tracting the admiration of educators and penologists all over the country. He had previously, as principal of the Elmira Free Academy, established there a unique sys- tem of self-government of the pupils,which gave the institution a wide reputation. = oe Qualified for Promotion.

Quite a Nupiber of Nominations Con- firmed by the Senate. The Senate made an effort in executive session yesterday to settle the contest be- tween Senators Pettigrew and Kyle over the appointment of a postmaster at Sioux Falls, 8. D., by confirming the nomination of A. D. Tinsley, but failed owing to the opposition of Mr. Pettigrew, which forced the matter over. Tinsley is now serving as Postmaster, having been nominated during the congressional recess. His name was sent to the Senate on the 6th of December A NIGHT SESSION The Senate at Work on th : Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill A Lively Debate on the Recommenda- tion of the Superintendent of the Coast Survey. The Senate held a night session last evening, beginning at 8 o'clock, and fin- ished the first consideration of the sundry civil bill, with the exception of the two amendments at the very end of the meas- ure, the one providing for the erection of @ new printing office on land now. owned at the present site and the one relating to bonds. These were passed over until to- day. The local items in the bill were all agreed to as they came from the commit- tee on appropriations, with a single ex- ception, In the paragraph relating to the Zoological Park, at the request of Mr. Cockrell, the Senate rejected that portion of the committee’s amendment which struck out the provision that $5,000 shall be used for the constryction of a road from the Holt mansion entrance on Adams’ Mill road into the park, including a bridge across the creek. According to the action last evening this provision, as originally passed by the House, remains in the bill. The paragraph appropriating money to provide for the use of a portion of the White Lot as a children’s playground was accepted without division. The item of $115,000 to pay the widows and heirs of the Ford Theater victims was adopted, with the understanding that Mr. Manderson should have the right to offer two amend- ments later, he being then absent from the Senate. The Const Survey Force. Most of the time of the session was taken up in a debate upon the reduction of force in the coast and geodetic survey. The House reduced the force from forty- two to thirty-four, but the Senate commit- tee struck out this reduction and restored the force to its original status. Mr. Mc- Laurin opposed the committee’s amend- ment and read two letters from Gen. W. W. Duffield, the superintendent of the survey, explaining that the reduction made by the House was in conformance with his suggestion made to Chairman Sayers of the House appropriations committee. Mr. McLaurin went at some length into the history of Gen. Duffield to demonstrate his efficiency and competency. There was some pretty sharp talk as to Gen. Duffield’s right to recommend these reductions without passing his recom- mendations through the Sccretary of the Treasury, and it was shown that the Sec- last, and the nomination has been held up during the session. inations: ginia, to be secretary of the United States legation at Brazil, Also the following con- suls: Fred Ellison of Indiana, at Belize, British Honduras; William W.

Duffield, in private communications to committees of Congress, to override the omnipotent power of the Secretary of the Treasury on such questions and present recommendations in the privacy of the committee rooms with- out the assent or the indorsement in writ- ing of the Secretary.
