KAHN, 935 F st. TO REGULATE RACING Provisions of the Bill Introduced by Senator Cameron. BETTING IN BOOKS PROHIBITED Only Owners Interested in the Re- sults. NEW PENALTY {PROVIDED —— Senator Cameron has introduced a bill to regulate horse racing in the District of Co- lumbia. After providing for the incorpora- tion of racing associations the bill goes on to say that at the race meetings the cor- poration, or the owners of the horses en- gaged in such races, or others who are not participants in such races, may offer or contribute toward purses, prizes, premiums or stakes to be contested for. No person, however, other than the owner or owners of a horse or horses contesting in a race shall have any pecuniary interest in the prize, purse or premiums, or entitled to re- ceive any portion of either after the race. The meetings are to be held during the period from April 1 to November 30. They are not to be held upon any race courses for more than forty days within said period. All races are prohibited, except be- tween sunrise and sunset. Any corporation desiring to obtain the benefits of this act must annually apply to the District Commissioners for a license. All licenses shall contain a condition that all running races or race meetings con- @ucted thereunder shall be subject to the reasonable rules and regulations from time to time prescribed by the Jockey Club; all steeplechase meetings must be subject to the reasonable rules of the National Steeplechase Association. Provision is made for the revocation of the license if the law or the interests of legitimate racing are violated. Every cor- poration organized under this act is re- cuired to post printed notices to the effect that ell disorderly conduct, pool selling, bcok making, or the use cf any other kind of gambling deviccs are prohibited. For the purpose of preserving order, the trustees are empowered to appoint five or more special policemen, who shall have the powers of the metropolitan police on a race ecurse. Any racing or trials of speed between horses or other animals for any bet, stake or reward, except such as is allowed hy this act or b7 special laws, the bill regards as a public nuisance. Every person aiding in such bet, stake or reward is declared guilty of a misdemeanor, and in addition to the penelty prescribed, he forfeits to the people of the United States all title or in- terest in any animal used with his permit in such race or trial of speed, and to ary sum of money, staked or bet, upon the re- sult. Persons who, upon any race course au- thorized by this act, shall record upon sheets or in books bets or wagers on the results of any trial or contest of speed or power of endurance of horses, taking place upon such race course, shall forfsit the value of any money or property received or held by him as a result of such wager, to be recovered in a civil action by the person for whom such money or property is re- ceived. ‘The act concludes: “This penalty is exclusive of all other alties prescribed by law for the acts ve specified, provided, however, that the -cupation of any room, shed, booth or place for the purpose of making regi records of bets, the exchanging, delivering or ‘transferring therein of a record, regis- try, memorandum, token, paper or docu- ment of any kind whatever, as >~vidence of any such bet cr wager; or the subscribing by name, initials or otherwise of any rec- ord, registry or memorandum in the pos- session of any other person of a het or wager, intended to be retained by such oth- er person or any other person as evidence of such bet or wager, shall be deemed to be bookmaking or the use of gambling de- vices, and punishable as bookmaking or the use of gambling devices is now punished.” CAPITOL HILLS WoN. Defeated the Washington Club's Whist Four Saturday Evening. The Capitol Hill Whist, Chess and Check- er Club defeated the Washinaton Chess, Checker and Whist Club at the rooms of the latter club Saturday evening. The match was the second one in the inter-club series, and consisted of twenty-four deals Guplicate whist. Through a misunderstand- ing tke team that had been selected to rep- resent the Washington club were not all present. The teams participatmg were as follows: - Washington club—Messrs. Walls, Turner, Lake and Cooks. Capitol Hiil—Messrs. Frank Barnard, J. T. King, E. B. Jackson and D. H. Borches. In the first round of eight deals the Washington players gained seven tricks, gaining four on one deal, while the Capitol Hill team made no gains. The second round was more evenly played, the Wash- ingtons gaining one and their opponents three, leaving the Washingtons five ahead. The last round was disastrous for the ‘Twelfth Street Club. They gained four tricks on one hand, while the Capitol Hill team made gains of eleven tricks, winning the match by the score of 14 to 12, or by two tricks. The Capitol Hill team mem- bers are under the impression that they lest three tricks by their ewn poor scor- ing in the last round, which showed a gain of four tricks for Washingtons on the twenty-first deal of the match, while they think it should have been a gain of one only. There was also some confusion as to which side won, first one side being credit- ed with victory by two tricks and then the other. Some of the Washington team Went home with the belief that they had won the match. The next match will be played Saturday evening at the quarters of the Capitol Bicycle Club, between the Capitol Club and the Capitol Hill Club. One evening last week the Capitol Hill Club defeated Messrs. Usina, Bishop, Chase and Schcenburn, unattached, by thirteen tricks in twenty-four deals, duplicate whist. WAS A HA RD FOUGHT GAME. The Washington Hockey Team De- fented the Berkeleys. A large number of persons turned out Saturday evening to aitness the game of hockey between the All-Washington and Berkeley teams at the Convention Hall ice palace. The game was a hard fought one and was won by the Washington team—1 to 0. The Washington team showed the best evidence of team work, and while the Berkeleys made some good individual plays the opposing team was too heavy and showed better headwork. The game was played under the rules of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association and occupied two fifteen minute halves, with five min- utes for an intermission. Some of the men were thrown heavily, but the best of good nature prevailed and no one was hurt. The men wore red sweaters and made a Picturesque appearance. The teams lined up as follows: Washington. Berkeley. F. P. Libbey. S.° B. Maize. T. W. Williams.. . D. E. Chaney....c. p. W. Mitchell A. P. Morris. 4. Roy Barnes. J. V. Tierney.....r.d. D. McDonald. W. E. Evans....goal.C. Whiting... H. S. Gane acted as referee, Lee Hut- ehirs, umpire for Berkeleys; H. E. Crook, umpire for Washington, and Er T. Leonard, timekeeper. The winners of this contest, the All-Washington team, will play the Johns Hopkins Baltimore team in that city next Saturday evening. The practice hours for the three hockey teams of this city have been arranged as follows: Columbia Athletic Club, Mondays ard Thursdays; Berkeleys, Tuesdafs and Fridays; Washingtons, Wedne: and Saturdays, from 8 to 9 in the morn! is.

The latest surprise in Baltimore and Ohio railroad affairs is the announcement of the intended resignation of Gen. Orland Smith as first vice president of the compaffy, a position which he hes held for nearly ten years past, and the appointment of Mr. Oscar G. Murray, until within a few days past second vice president of the Big Four read, to be his successor. Gen. Smith, as the representative of the Baltimore and Ohio in the trunk line pool, has found it necessary to spend the greater portion of his time in New York, and it has been impossible for him to devote any con- sideration to the duties which by the rules of the company were assigned the first vice president. In order that the department over which he has so long presided may not further suffer, he has asked that, some cne else be given the place. Gen. Smith will, it is said, continue to rep- resent the Baltimore and Ohio in the trunk line pool at the headquarters in New York, ond will also continue to be president of a number of railroad companies which are affiliated with the Baltimore and Ohio com- pany. Mr. Oscar G. Murray is one of the most popular and widely known transportation men in the country. It is understood that under the plan of rearrangement of the details of manage- ment, Mr. Edward R. Bacon, who became a member of the Eoerd of directors of the Baltimore and Ohio at the meeting about a week ago, when Mr. Cowen was elected president, will become chairman of the board of directors. ae A Proposed Apartment House. Plans have been prepared by C. A. Did- den fer an apartment house at the north- east corner of, 15th and U streets, which will have & frontage of 110 feet on 15th street and 70 feet on U street. It will be six stories in height and the material in the fronts will be buff brick and dark stone. Mr. Didden states that the projec- tors of this enterprise control the west frontage of square 204, extending the en- tire length of i5th street between U and V streets, which is 320 fect, and extending back 183 feet to Portner place. He says it is the design of those interested, who are Washington capitalists, to cover this entire ground with an apartment building. The entire enterprise, he states, counting the cost of the ground and of the build- ing, will involve an expenditure of about $1,000,000. While there will be a general dining room, attached to each suite of apartments will be a kitchen. The build- ing will contain an ice plant and connected with each suite will be a cold storage box, which can be used as a refrigerator. aa Columbia Typographical Union. Columbia Typographical Union, No. 101, held a special meeting yesterday afternoon to consider the case of Mr. Edmunds, one of the foremen in the government printing cffice, who, it is alleged, has been treating the men unfairly by reason of a change made by him in averaging their “strings.” The case wes first investigated by the chapel of the third division, to which Mr. Edmunds is attaached, and a fine of $25 was imposed upon him. This he refused to pay, and the chapel reported the matter to the union. Ths latter indorsed the action of the chapel, and if Mr. Edmunds shall after again being asked for the money re- fuse to pay, the matter will be brought to the attention of Public Printer Benedict, who will be asked to interfere in behalf of the union, —_—>___ Death of a Grand Duchess.

Cross, BASE BALL COMMENT Notes Regarding Some of the Better Known Players. INTERCLUB = WHIST TOURNAMENT Lord Dunraven Called On to Apol: ogize. SPORTING NEWS IN GENERAL Jimmy Donnelly will, no deubt, be used as utility man by the Baltimore manage- Ment in place of Gleason. The signing of Stocksdale and Gray would seem to indi- cate that Hanlon will take no chances on McMahon's arm being dead or alive, but is playing them safe. : The touting of Tenney for first base for the Bcstons instead of Tucker is all gush, and is merely intended to make the fayor- ite Tommy put more life in his work. Tucker need not take the dust from any first baseman in the league, barring no ore. If Bonner should turn out to be first-class at second for Brcoklyn, that club is assured a position in the first six at the end of the seasdn. The Brooklyns get more and more like the Phillies every season. ‘They knock ever the first-class clubs with ease, but When it comes to a tail-ender, they have to play for their lives to win. Poking fun at the New Yorks this season will not do. Freedman may not be popular with a great many base ball writers, but that does not detract from the players Manager Irwin has signed. With Pfeffer at second, Gleason at third and Davis added to the outfield, the club cannot help but be strengthened. Dissipation is what weaken- ed the team last year, and Manager Irwin will eradicate that evil. Wherg the New Yorks are weak is hard to find out, that is, if am unbiased review of the players is made, The best way to try out a young pitcher Who believes he is a world beater is to save him for the Phillies. If he can hold his own against that aggregation, he need never return to a minor league. ‘This is the way they will come up next season: Delehanty, Brouthers, Thompson, Turner, Clements, Nash, Suilivan, and one of the pitchers. With the exception of the pitcher, every one of those named is over a 300-hitter, when in condition. If there is a voting contest out at Na- tfonal Park the coming season for the most pepular player on the local team, Jim Mc- Guire should be barred out. Ho has too many friends to make the contest at all in- teresting. The contest generally narrows Gown to the point as to how many votes Jim really wants. Many others of the play- ers have hosts of friends, but McGuire has always the best of it. Don’t underrate the smoky city lads the coming season. They were weak at short, second and third base last year, and in those positions they will be sreatly strengthened. Bierbauer was under the weather, but fs cll right again; Ely takes Cross’ place, and will add 30 per cent to that position, and Lyons on third is a steady player and a great hitter. We know what Hawley and Killen can do. Little Blake, the right ficlder of the Cleve- lands, is touted 2s the weak spot in that fine aggregation. If he were released be- fore the season opens, would he he wanted by any other club? Only about nine of the twelve could use him. Frank Dwyer, the auburn-halred pitcher of the Cincinnatis, is heard very little of in the newspapers, when great pitchers are mentioned, yet he is placed among the first ten in the league by such good judges as Robinson, Tebeau, Duify, Delehanty and Tiernan. Frank is very popular with the Cincinnati cranks. A new man at second and left field, and perhaps Decker on first, is the outlook for Chicago the coming season, yet Anson has put in a claim for first honors. If they land in the first division the Colts will be doing very well indeed. Harry Diddlebock is now in St. Louis, and one of the first bits of managerial work he will have to do will be to write a letter to Tommy Dowd. The St. Louis maragement 1s frightened by Dowd’s threat that he may retire, and it wants to get him into the contract fold as soon as possible. It would play hob with Harry’s calculations to lose such a cracker-jack as Dowd. And now Dr.Stuckey of the Louisvilles has gone into the prophet class. He has it all figured out. He predicts that the Clonels will finish eighth in ‘96, fourth in ‘7, and win the pennant in '98, and then war with England will be declared. It is to be hoped the Colonels will not rush the country too strong. St. Louis has claimed Ellis, who was drafted from the Western League by Louis- ville and then turned adrift, . oe President Robison of Cleveland favors the abolition of the Temple cup games. Pittsburg will loan Stuart, O'Brien, Genins, Moran and Padden to the Toronto team. Manager Tom Burns, who sold Outfielder Jones to Brooklyn, says that that player has much to learn, Manager Selee of Boston says that Cy. Young is the only player in the league worth $10,000, If there is a player worth that sum it is Young. The Scranton club management has faith in players who have figured in Oriole colors. Frank—“Piggy"—Ward, Dan Stearns and Richard P.—“Strip’"—Brown have been signed by Scranton. Tlie story that the Cleveland team would be transferred to St. Louis no doubt will hurt the Cleveland club. Many people are sore on the club because of what it may do, and “knockers” breed rapidly. Mike O'Connor, a brother of Jack O'Con- nor, has been signed by the Dubuque, Iowa, club as shortstop. Boyle of the Phillies will be kept, unless a good offer for his services comes in. He will play behind the bat. Houlen and Sullivan will run a race for short stop, and probably one or the other will take Billy Hamilton’s place in center. With the present pitching distance one sees but few of the 1 to 0 games that were almost common several years ago. At the same time scores seldom run into double figures. The truth of the whole matter is that pitchers are getting the hang of the dis- tance every year. Hanlon will give Stocksdale a good chance. If he develops properly in his new ccmpany he will have his opportunity in the box. He will be a general utility man. Stecksdale was not in good form last se: scn, having suffered at times from inflam- matory rheumatism. He is in fine physical condition now, and is a lad of fine physique. “I worked in a Chicago base ball factory scme years ago,” says Earle, “and there got an idea of the immense profit made on base balls. At that time all balfs were made by hand, and some of the sewers were so expert at the art that they could sew a cover on a ball in twelve minutes. These people were paid by the piece, and made all the way from $15 to $20 per week. Since machines have been invented for making base balls the profit has en- hanced.” One of Anson’s interviews is briefly sum- marized as follows: Of the recent deals Anson said that McBride would take Wil- r.ct’s place; that Pittsburg got a good play- er in Ely; that Cincinnati strengthened it- self by acquisition of Infielder Irwin; that Beston got the better of the Hamilton- Nash‘ deal; that the Doyle-Gleason ex- change was about an even thing; that Pfeffer would strengthen the Giants, and that the New York club had never made a $10,600 offer for Lange. = Capt. Joe Kelly of the Baltimores,through Tim Murnane, officially denies the state- ments attributed to him that Doyle would be unwelcome on the Baltimore team. “I think Doyle one of the best players in the business,” said he, “‘and just the style of player to help the Orioles out next season. I think Doyle was treated very badly last year by Mr. Freedman in New York, and I don’t blame him for trying to make it un- pleasant for him.” If Jack doesn’t revise Fis five times repeated declaration that he will not play in Baltimore after that “jol- ly,” then there is no hope for him this side of Holyoke. Speaking of the Baltimores’ first corner last season, Kelly said that Carey was not aggressive enough for the team, and that Manager Hanlon knew that he had made a mistake in letting Dan Erouthers go before the season was half over. Kelly says that Cleveland is not the team the Orioles fear, but he does not “‘tip his hand” by naming the aggregation which he thinks will prove most formidable. Joseph Corbett, & brother of James Ccrbett, will be taken south by the Balti- mere Base Ball Club on its practice trip and given an opportunity to show what he can do in the pitching line. Young Corbett pitched several games for the Washington team last summer, one which was against the Orioles at Union Park. He showed excel- lent form in this game and would have won it had he been given fair support. He never signed a contract with Washington and is not, therefore, held by that club. Schmelz and Wagner wanted him to sign, but his brother “Jirc” would not let him, as he wanted Joseph to be given a by Hanlon. An arrangement to this effect was Practically made last fall, and was com- pleted on Saturday, when both Corbetts were in Baltimore. With Corbett the Ori- oes will have nine pitchers.—Baltimore un. AWAITING DUNRAVENS APOLOGY. The St. James Gasette Says He Should Hurry Up. LONDON, February 3.—The St. James Gazette this afternoon says: “What is Lerd Dunraven waiting for? We hoped to be able today to publish his apology te the American nation, and we trust that all his friends will impress upon him that speed is the essence of grace in an occasion of this sort. For the credit of British sport and English gentlemanly traditions, Lord Dunraven must not hesi- tate. Every day and every hour lost will now be an additional ii ut.”” ——.__ REPUBLICAN PARTY BIRTHDAY. The Union Republican Club Discusses the Coming Celebration. ‘The Union Republican Club at its regular monthly meeting held in Willard’s Hall Saturday night considered the question of celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the birth of the republican party, February 22 next, and announcements were made of the appointment of committees to make arrangements commensurate with the im- portance of the event. It was stated that the idea was being favorably discussed by republican organizations throughout the country, with the probable result that the eclebration would be general. Resolutions of sympathy were adopted for Col. Charles P. Lincoin in the death of Eis wife. A number of new members were admitted, bringing the total membership up to over 700. It was decided to adopt a distinctive button as a badge of membership, and these emblems may be procured at the club headquarters. ——.__ Robberies Reported.
