THE EVENING 'S' SPORTS OF THE DAY Louisville Planning to Strengthen Its Team. NILSSON’S FINE SKATING AT THE RINK + Organization of the New England League. POOL TOURNAMENT ——_—_s A Special Dispatch to the Philadelphia Press. LOUISVILLE, Ky.,January 13—What the “fans would like to see most at r the management of the Colo- gthen the team behind the bat, se and at third base. Certain- ouisyille gent is n at is to st ly th are the weakest points on the team, and with these strengthened with first-class players the team would be in a fair way to start off next season in good ape. with good prospects for the first di- vision, which would mean thousands of dollars to the stockholders. ‘Tonight a rumor of two big deals is rife in base ball circles. The Loulsville offictals would neither affirm nor deny the reports, and, as President Pulliam has already stat- ed that he would say nothing of any deals the Louisville club might have on hand un- til they are consummated, these rumors are printed. A close friend of one of the local mag- nates said that the Louisville management Was doing everything in their power to close a deal with the Philadelphia club for Catcher Clements and Third Baseman Lave Cross. For several months past Colonel Rogers. Captain Nash and others of the Philadel- Phia club have had their eyes on Pitcher Fraser, and several good offers have been made to the Louisville directors for the twirler's release. Nash thinks Fraser is the coming pitcher of the country. So does Secretary Shettsline, Colonel Rogers and half the “fans” of Philadelphia, where “Chic” pitched his best during the last eastern trips of the Colonels. Fraser has been offered for Clements and Cross. The answer of the Philadelphia management thas not been received as yet, and all con- nected with the Louisville club will proba- bly deny the story unless the deal goes through, but this offer has been made, and the Quaker city people are seriously con- sidering it. The other big deal mentioned is Louisville club's offer of 31,500 for Second Baseman Connors of the Chicago club. ‘This offer was made last week, soon after Mr. Pulliam was elected president. As yet Anson has not been heard from, but there is every reason to believe that he will sell the young second baseman for this price, for at present he has no less than three geod second basemen, and always felt Kindly toward the Louisville club. If both these deals go through the Colo- nels would be stronger than they ever were. The outfield is strong enough. No one would ask for better men than Clarke, Pickerirg, McCreery and Holmes. The in- field would be: Rogers at first. Connors at the second. Lave Cross at third and Dolan at short. This would leave Clements, Wilson, Butler and Dexter behind the bat. In the whole league there fs not a better catcher to develop young pitchers than Clements. All Louisville people who have seen big league games in the past five years know What Lave Cross is. He formerly played with Louisville. Fred Clarke and “Chic” Fra: say that Connors is the greatest «d baseman in the country. He is cer- tainly a great hitter, as his record shows. Fi TWICE, BUT WON.

Last evening at the Lafayette Square Opera House might excusably have been mistaken for an occasion of grand opera, judging from the attendance. The ever- popular Carroll Institute Dramatic Club was the attraction, and it presented the well-known comedy “A Night Off” credii- ably and artistically, and, furthermore, to the enthusiastic—almost boisterous — faction of the iarge audience. It ¥ sary to raise the curtain se n of the four acts, and, tomary to repeat the scenes of 4 play in to encore, it fs highly probable A Night Off" woukd have drifted into a continuous performance. The comedy was presented by courtesy of Mr. Augustin Daty, and the perfermance was under the ven direction of Mr. James J. Skeliy, with Mr. assistant stage manager. production was handsomely staged and costumed, and the work of tne play fully up to the standard of profe: ‘Phe cast included Mr. Percy F, Leach, Mr. John J. Nolan, Mr. George H. O'Connor, } Mr. William S. MeCarthy, Mr. A. T. Sea- . Edward J. Wal: Miss Helen Miss Alice K. Irwin, Miss Lrene Rowland, Miss Nora Cocker and Miss Laura Eichelberger. The honors were equally divided, the work of Mr. Teach Prof. Justinian Babbitt, Mr. Walsh as Ma cus Bratus Snap,and Miss Cocker as Sus: being of noticeable excelience. Mis and Mr. O'Connor were the par effective love scene, and the effort Lackaye, Miss Rowland, Mr. McCarthy should not escape special mention. To Sum up, the play was a mo: amusing and pleasing syeress im every spect, the ability displaye 1 by the members of the cast being a credit to the institute and a surprise to their friends. ‘The affair may be recorded as one of the gratifying events in the history of the organization.

It takes a smart cat to catch Ensiish sparrows, as any observant person can tify who knows anything about these active and enterprising ttle birds, bat an Wijcott City cat can do the trick successfully al- most any day she wants a good weal for herself or family. The feat is accomplished by the aid of the most wonderful feline shrewdness, in this way: From a distance of twenty or thirty yarcs away the cat spies a sparrow or two that she wants to eat when they light on a rail- ing of the Tiber bridge at the station yard. She can approach them without being ch- served by getting in close to the wall that borders the pavement. This she does. She cannot be seen by the sparrows even as she turns gn to the bridge, for the railing is broad at the top and she keeps under it and cannot even herself see her victims, but she does some good guessing or intelligent cai- culating and stops directly beneath them
