TO ELEVATE RACING Phil. Dwyer Discusses the Aim of the Percy Bill. TATTERSALES 70 BE PATTERNED AFTER Meeting of the Base Ball Mag- nates. GENERAL SPORTING NEWS ST. LOUIS, Mo., February 27.—Regarding the ‘racing situation in the east, Phil. J. Dwyer, who is in this city en route to Hot Springs, says: ‘‘The Percy bill will become a law after much dalliance and a few minor amendments. It is a good law, and will place racing on @ higher plane than it has existed since the sport was introduced into this country. There will be ro bookmakers, Although the absence of those worthies will decrease the revenue of the tracks to a considefable extent, it will help to strengthen the character of the sport. We will be perfectly able to keep our racing clean and free from scandal, and that alone will tend to keep up the attendance. “Without the bookmakers there will be a certain amount of sentiment in the rac- ing, a thing, I regret to state, that has been almost eliminated during the last few years. The members of the Jockey Clud will probably have a clearing house pat- terned more or less after Tattersalls in England, through which members and their friends, and, in fact, any reputable fellow, may speculate on the races. Representa- tives, or rather commissioners, will work the thing on the nod at the track, and the settlements will be made at the clearing house in the city during the evening.” BASE BALL MAGNATES MEET. Brooklyn Likely to Open the Season Here. NEW YORK, February 27.—Leaders of the National Base Ball League met today. While the schedule will be the principal matter for consideration, yet many other matters of importance to the national game will be acted upon. President Young has prepared three schedules for the ap- proval of the delegates. - The following schedule for the opening of the eastern clubs has been arranged: Philadelphia in New York, Boston in Baltimore, Brooklyn in Washington. The western clubs will open as follows: Pitts- burg in Louisville, Cleveland in Cincinnati, Chicago in St. Louis. Many magnates arrived last night and discussed the outlook for the game. One and all predicted a successful season and a close race. The rules committee’s report is the sub- ject of much argument, and it is said that a strong effort will be made to have the rule in regard to the big mitt “killed.” Other recommendations of the rules com- mittee on the changes in playing rules will be reported adversely. Buck Ewing was an early arrival, and was busy in trying to effect an exchange of players. Frank De H. Robisen of the Cleveland club will not be present ,at the meeting owing to the death of his father. Presi- dent Freedman of the New York club will represent the Cleveland club by proxy. There were present Messrs. Soden and Conant of Boston, Chris. -Von der Ahe of St. Loyis, Dr. Stucky of Louisville, John T. Brush of Cincinnati, Andrew Freedman of New York, Charles Byrne of Brooklyn, Jas. A. Hart of Chicago, W. A. Kerr of Pitts- burg, H. A. Vonderhorst of Baltimore, John I. Rogers of Philadelphia and the ‘Wagners of Washington. Rochester Park Purses. The directors of the Rochester Driving Park have decided to give purses of $20,000 at the August meeting, which is to be held frcm August 19 to 23. Winners at Arlington. Lallah, at 10 to 1, and Trixey Gardner, at. 6 to 1, were the surprises at Arlington yes- terday. Two favorites won. The winners were Saginaw, Lallah, Trixey Gardner, Halcyon and Boonton. The M. A. C. Team. There is every indication that the Mary- land Agricultural College, at College Sta- tion, will have one of the strongest Base ball teams in her history when the nine takes the field this year. Captain Harris has had twenty-five candidates hard at werk. First base will probably be occupied by Tenis, "07. He played on the High School team of this city two years. Bar- rows, ‘96, and Mellison, ’98, will fight for second base. Barrows played this position last year. Meliison is a good batter and a first-class fielder. He played with the Chambersburg team of Pennsylvania last year. Wooters, '97, will play third base. He is a safe thrower and a sure hitter. Captain Harris, "96, will occupy his posi- tion at short stop. In the outfield are Fuller, "96, who played in left field last year; Roberts, ‘97, who was in right field, and Strickler, the fastest runner on the team, who played center last spring; Hard- ing, '95; Burke, "98; Robb, '98; Fuller, Compton, "95; Walker, "98; Howard, °97; Tillibridge, Harrison, Counselman and Nel- ligan. Cup Defender Measurements. BRISTOL, R. L, February 27.—-Mr. Nat Herreshofft is very indignant at what he styles an attempt to make public the plans of the new cup defender by certain irre- sponsible parties. He says that the meas- urements reported are merely suppositions and utterly incorrect, and adds that they are as much of a secret as ever and will not be made public at present. The work- men at the Herreshoff yard have removed the loam which had been used to bank up the mold of the lead keel, and found the casting perfectly cool. They will start to- day to put on the Tobin bronze bolt fasten- ings, of which there are to be several on the keel. Maher-Kilrain Match Off. The fight between Jake Kilrain and Peter Maher, March 18, at Boston, is off. Kil- rain will meet Steve O'Donnell, Champion Corbett’s sparring partner, instead. Kil- rain yesterday received a telegram from the secretary of the Suffolk Club: “Had you just as soon meet Steve O’Donnell? Maher would not draw ten cents on ac- count of his recent match with Jim Hall.” Kilrain at once answered “Yes.” Corbett’s Estimate of Fitzsimmons, Champion James J. Corbett, in an inter- view at Wilkesbarre, said his manager, Wm. A. Brady, was talking too much. “I see,” he continued, “that he allows I can down Fitzsimmons in three rounds. Now, to be candid, I don’t believe I can do that. I may defeat him jn twenty rounds or less, but I don’t want to be quoted as saying I can knock him out in three rounds. Fitz- simmons has not put up his third deposit of $2,500. Brady says it makes no differ- ence. I say it does. I want Fitz to put up every dollar he agreed to.”” Indoor Sports for Charity. A game of basket ball will be played at . 'the W. A. C. house, South Capitol and O streets, on Friday evening, for the benefit of the poor by reserve teams from Carroll Institute and the W. A. C. The Mt. Pleas- ant Drum Corps and the W. A. C. Band will play, and Harry Parks will give an exhibition of fancy cycling. Status of Class B Cyclists. LONDON, February 27.—The Pall Mall Gazette, commenting on Champion Zim- merman’s proposed application for rein- statement into the ranks of the class B, amateur cyclists, says it is impossible to gee any difference in America between class B, amateur, and the professional, pure and simple.

Protracted Services and Other Revival Meetings in Progress. The meeting last night at the protracted services now going on at the West Street Presbyterian Church, Rev. Dr. Alexander, pastor, was splendidly attended. The Rev. D. W. Skellenger of the Sixth Street Pres- byterian Church delivered an eloquent discourse on the “Opening of the Eyes of the Blind.” Dr. Alexander made impres- sive remarks. The Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis will deliver the sermon tonight. Faith Tent. Faith Tent of Rechabites held a meeting last night, at which arrangements were made for a box party on the 19th of March. The Sunday afternoon meetings, postponed on account of the cold weather, will be resumed in a couple of weeks. Faith Tent now numbers upward of forty members, with additions weekly. Under the good of the order last night Mrs.Spean- burgh, chairman, an excellent program was rendered. The resignation of Mrs. M. J. Barr as shepherd was accepted, and Mrs. A. Bur- rows was elected and installed as her suc- cessor. : ‘ Chicken Thieves. Poultry thieves are coming to light. Last night Officer Connor took into custody on “Factory Hill” Wm. Taylor and George Wyatt, colored, charging them on the oath of Americas Blackwel) with having killed two turkeys belonging to Henry Hill, a resident of Little Falls road, to the rear of the Maddox place. The men were out gun- ning at the time. Wild game was scarce and they took to the domestic. Blackwell saw them shoot, kill the turkeys and run off with them. He gave them hard chase and finally compelled them to drop one of the big birds. They firally eluded him, but not until their identity had been discover- ed. The police were informed, and the arrest of Wyatt and Taylor followed. Depredations in the county chicken hoyses have been serious of late. Thefts have been occurring both night and day. What the gunners have missed night prowlers have taken. The county people have been up in arms against the thieves. ‘What began as an annoyance has de- veloped into a matter of seriousness. Last week over $100 worth of chickens were re- ported stolen or killed. Notes. Wharf and up-river men say that the Po- tomac at the present time is as low as dur- ing the drought seascn of last summer. In fact, a winter drought exists. The ice, they say, on the upper course is gradually wear- ing away, but there is not sufficient water in the stream to carry it down. Mr. Fred. Moore and wife left last night for the southern portion of Florida, where six weeks will be spent. The repcrt is current that the Metropoli- tan Railroad Company has purchased the northwest corner of 36th and Prospect streets of Timothy Daly for $20,000. *It is gaid the railroad company intends to apply for an extension of their line to this point, that close connection mgy be made with the Union depot projected roads.
