Coming Ball Players. ‘There were about two hundred persons on the Harlem base ball grounds Sunday afternoon to witness a game between the “Regulars” and the “New Players.” The Regulars won easily. The features were the fine pitching of C. H. Volkman for the Reg- ulars and the base running of Hughes for the new men. Mr. William Tell offi- ciated as umpire. Abounded in Sti® Hitting. Howard Humphrey, a colored middle- weight of Ohio, and Charles Holcomb, a colored Washinstonian, who claims the welter-weight championship of the District of Columbia, sparred six rounds at Balti more last night. The set-to, which was de- clared a draw, was one of the best given this season. It abounded in good stiff hit- ting and in clever avoidances. The Princeton Nine. The Princeton College nine practiced on the field yesterday for the first time this year. The members of the team have not been chosen, and a large number of men will play in the initial game with Colum- bia today. The following is the batting order: Ward, right field; Otto, first base; Payne, left field; Brooks, second base; Gun- ster, third base; Butler, P. Ward, Sankey, short stop; E. Williams, Titus and Alt- land, cateHer; W. Wilson, Janne, Easton, pitcher; Small, Pardee, center field. MAKING STRINGENT RULES. Yale and Princeton Putting College Base Ball on Its Proper Basis. Most decided measures have been taken by the Yale and Princeton base ball man- agements to eradicate the least tinge of professionalism against any of the college players. No professional athlete shall take part in the games of base ball between the two universities. No undergraduate or special student who has attended lec- tures or recitations in any other college or university shall be eligible, unless he has been enrolled with his present univers- ity for one calendar year. No graduate student shall be eligible, unless he be a graduate student of his present university or unless he has been enrolled in his pres- ent university for one calendar year. No student who has represented Yale or Princeton or any college or university upon its base ball team for over four years shall be eligible to play upon either of the teams interested in this agreement. At- tendance at lectures and successful pass- ing of examinations are included in the conditions, The athletic committee of the University Athletic Club of New York city will be requested to act as a committee on eligi- bility of players, with power to investi- gate the charges upon which protests are made and to personally examine the pro- tested persons or other witnesses. The de- cision of this committee is to be absolute and final. PRESIDENT YOUNG’S BULLETIN. Contracts of Ball Pinyers Who Have Lately Signed. Mr. N. E.

BERKELEY, Cal., March 27.—Students of the state university today subscribed $1,000 toward a fuhd;to send an athletic team east to competerwith Harvard, Yale, Princeton,Chicago, Pennsylvania and other eastern universities! A Boothiack’s Plea, tor of The Fyening Star: Knowing that Thée'Star is a valuable medium by which legitimate grievances can be explained to the community without censure, I beg leave to express myseif briefly, as follows As a “Sympathizer” stated recently, a hardship has been in- ficted upon the bootblacks of the city by the Commissfoners’prohibiting the use of bootblack stands, eonstruing them as un obstruction to travel and a menace to iife ard limb. Could not, the Commissioners issue an order for yon-interference on ihe part of “guardians, ef peace” with those bootblacks having stands so situated as not to obstruct publi¢ travel? I have been heretofore located on the platform adjoining the vestibule of the Baltimore and Ohio depot, said space form- ing an alcove, which is about thirteen feet rom the pavement on New Jersey avenue side and nineteen feet from pavement on C street side, thereby being out of way of public travel entirely. Having an orna- mental stand, which was procured by in- cessant toil with the brush and cloth, for the exclusive use of my many patrons, I am now placed in a plight by being de- prived of the privilege of using the same, which has been the means of my earning a living for myself and family. In addi- tion to the foregoing circumstances, I have had the misfortune to be burnt out by fire recently, from which calamity I have not yet fully recovered. W. H. G. —. Transfers of Renl Estate.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: The violation of the fish law of the Dis- trict, as noted in The Star of yesterday, has begun early. Last year there were nightly, and almost daily, violations of the law between the Aqueduct bridge and the Little Falls, and but: few arrests were made, so largely is’ the sympathy in favor cf the law-breaker. Large numbers of black bass and shad ey route to the spawn- ing beds were taken in the vicinity of the Chain bridge, between. ‘sundown and sun- up,” by the use of nets in the months of April and May, and the question has been much discussed among anglers as to the best methods to get ithe violators of the law before the Police Court. A strong de- tective force, well armed, will doubtless be formed. wry AS. W. —— Drill Regulations for Infantry. Capt. Chas. B. Hail, nineteenth infantry, has been ordered to‘report April 1 to Gen.

STANTON APPOINTED. Named to Be the New Paymaster Gen- eral of the Army. The President has appointed Col. Thad- deus H. Stanton to be paymaster general of the army, with the rank of brigadier general, to succeed Gen. William Smith, 1etired. Col. Stanton was highly recom- mended for the.office, and is said to have been eelected entirely on his merits. Col. Charles M. Terrell, stationed in Texas, who was senior to Col. Stanton, was passed by, it is said, on account of the fact that he has less than a year more of active service, the President’s policy being adverse to frequent changes in bureau commands. Col. Stanton is now stationed in Omaha, and he will not retire on account of uge until January 30, 1899. His record is of the test. In 1861 he entered the army 2s a velunteer for the defense of the Union, and served as a private in the third bat- talion of the District of Columbia infantry. He served ninety days, and then re-en- listed with a commission as captain of the rineteenth Iowa infantry, in August, 1862, £14 served until December 18, when he resigned to take the rank of additional pay! ter. He was brevetted a lieutenant colonel of volunteers in March, 1865, for faithful and meritorious services during the war; was appointed major and pay- master, United States army, January 17, 1867, and was promoted deputy paymaster general, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, March 15, 1890; was promoted assistant psymaster general, June 22, 1893, with the ratk of colonel. or MAILS ON STREET CARS. The Plan to Be Soon in Operation in Several Cities. The conference held in New York be- tween Second Assistant Postmaster Gen- eral Neilson, Capt. James E. White of the railway mail service and street railway offi- cials of New York will bear fruition in a further advance of the movement to for- ward mails in large cities by the street railway lines. Mr. Neilson has been a firm advocate of the movement since his initia- tion into the service, and has been pushing the plan as rapidly as possible. His efforts, however, have been retarded to some ex- tent by the lack of interest shown by many of the companies. It is now expected that within a short period mail service will be in operation on two lines in New York city, two in Philadelphia, the same num- ber in Brooklyn and one in Chicago. In Brooklyn and St. Louis one line each is now being operated, and cars specially designe’ for the purpose and in course of construction in Chicago and Philadelphia. In Philadelphia and St. Louis entire cars will be used in carrying the mails, and half of the car space will be devoted to the mails on the Chicago and Brooklyn lines. A postal clerk will accom- pany each car, assorting the mail during the trip, and delivering to messengers from offices and stations along the route. The department intends later to havé a comple- ment of letter carriers accompany the cars to facilitate delivering of the mails, and as rapidly as possible s reet lines in other cit- les will be utilized in a like way. —____— AN IRRIGATION BOARD. ‘The Members Mcet and Formally Elect a President and Seeretary. A board of experts from the Department of the Interior and Department of Agri- culture has been appointed to study the best method of promoting and developing irvigation of the arid lands of the west. The irrigation problem, which involves practically all of the land not already pre- empted for agricultural purposes outside Alaska, has long been recognized as one of the utmost importance, and there have been several attempts made to study it scientifically, but this has been heretofore allotted to a number of government bu- reaus, and their general attitude has been to grasp everything in sight, and to pur- ue their work as quietly as possible till definite results could be shown. In _ this way there has resulted more or less dupli- cation and occasional controversies over conflicting interests. The work now, how- ever, will be hered under the supervision cf a single board, and the results of the Scattered investigations will be made ac- cessible to tne joint workers. The new board creates no new offices nor officers, but simpiy concentrates the efforts of those already engaged, so as to make their work more iidvattageous, The board is composed of Charles D. Wal- sott, director of the geological survey; Mark W. Harrington, chief of the weather bureau, Daniel M. Browning, commission- er of Indian affairs; Edward A. Bowers, assistant commis: per of the general land office; F. H. Newell and Henry Gannett of the geological survey; Charles W. Irish, Milton Whitney, B. E. Fernow and B. T. Galloway of the Agricultural Department. The board held a mecting yesterday and elected Prof. Mark Harrington of the weather bureau, chairman, and Prof. F. HH. Newell of the geological survey, secre- tary. ——— Can’t Print Postage Stamps.
