It RUSIE-MERCER DEAL The Hoosier’s Friends Look on the Matter as Settled. MEAGHER’S EXHIBITION OF SKATING Races for the Championship at Stamford, Conn. CURRENT SPORTING NOTES From the Cincinnati Enquirer. From time to time there have been pub- lished intimations to the effect that a deal was pending whereby Rusie, the thundey- bolt pitcher of the New Yorks, was to be exchanged for “Win” Mercer, the star twirler of the Washington team. Over in Indianapolis, where Rusie is spending the winter, the deal ts not referred to as a pos- sibility, but is announced as a stern reality. in other words, the friends of Rusie insist that the trade has practically been made, and that this year Rusie will be a Senator, and Mercer and “‘Scrappie” Joyce will once again. become side partners like they were the earlier part of last season. This an- houncement is made on the strength of a letter received by the writer. It was writ- ten by a newspaper man of Indianapolis who is in touch with the ball players win- tering in the Hoosier capital. Here is an extract from the letter: “I want to tell you that the local players who rtn with Rusie are claiming that the deal between Washington and New York to exchange Mercer for Rusie is practically a go, Washington having consented, and Freedman, so Rusie’s chummy friends say, is only holding off until he can let himself dowmeasy. They also say that none of the league magnatcs want Ruste’s case to come to a trial, fcr fear it will knock out owner- ship of players, and leave the managers at the players’ mercy. Rusie continues to take life easy, but is mum as a clam when ap- proached by newspaper men.” Of course, there will be denials from both ends of the rumored deal, as there always is when news is given premature publica- tion. However, the ball players who .asso- ciate with Rusie must have received some assurance from the big fellow that there was a deal of some kind on, or they would not talk so confidently about the future of Rusie. If the trade is made it is difficult at this time to say which of the clubs will have the worst of it. If Rusie is Rusie, then the Senators, on form, would look to have fared the best. But is Rusie what he used to be? One year of idleness didn’t help him. In this progressive age, one can not stand still very iong, as the procession will get s> far ahead of him that he can never catch up again. It is claimed that Rusie has kept himself in condition. Per- haps he has, but just throwing balls against a back-stop or to a catcher is not the test that pitching in a real engagement is. A pitcher may “warm up” in grand style, have all his speed and curves, and then fall an easy victim in the game. Pitching in Fractice is no more the real thing than box- ing is real fighting. It is impossible to tell anything about a pitcher from his practice work. Rusie for this year Is a long chance. No matter how strong he may feel or how well he ts trained it will be a guess until he skows in an actual engagement that his de- livery is as deceptive as it used to be. Mercer Is one of the greatest pitchers the league ever had on Its pay roll. At least, he was last season. He showed his mettle im the earlier part of last season. It isn’t such a wonderful feat for a gccd pitcher to pitch grand ball when he has a splendid ball team behind him. Mercer's record of eight straight games against the best in the league. with an aggregation to back him up that did not stand high either as batters, fielders or base runners, is a phenomenai one. If he can pitch wonderful ball for a tail-end team, he should pitch much better ball with a team of stars behind him. Mer- cer is not only a pitcher, but he is a batter, a base runner, and, best of all, a- willing, snappy, aggressive piayer who is always In the game. Even if Rusie is Rusie, New York won't have much the worst of it in securirg Mercer. Not Regarded Here us Probable. The exchange of Rusie for Mercer has heen under discussion in local base ball circles for some time, but a mafority of the followers of the local club or those that stand the closest to Earl Wagne? are Positive In the denial that the trade will not take place. Of course, Mr. Wagner takes very few pecple into his confidence, but to those with whom he had conversa- Hon during his visit ‘ast week he Inti mated that Mercer would be about the last player on the Washington team to be sold or traded. This is about as much news as can be gained tn this city. Going on the basis that where there is smoke there must be fire, several base ball enthusiasts bélieve such a trade is con- templated. These people point to the fact that Mr. Wagner and Mr. Freedman are very close friends, and that last seagon the former made an offer of $12,500 for the big pitcher. From t point of view it is not believed that the New York magnate would give up Rusie for Mercer, unless the veteran catch- er, Jim McGuire, was thrown in for good measure. They argue that the New Yorks want a catcher more than they do a pitch- er, and that McGtire will come the nearest to filling Farrell's shoes of any one that can be secured. ‘There is hardly a base ball enthusiast in Washington that does not hold to the be- lief that Mercer is as good as any pitcher in the league today, but are there any in the league as good as Rusie when at his best? From an advertising point of view there can be no doubt that the trade would benefit Washington, for a time, at least. Then, should Rusie prove a fizzle, the re- action against the local management would be tremendous, but should the dig pitcher round to his "#4, or even ‘95 form, what a boom it would be for base ball in Wash- ington!

Meagher, who gave an exhibition at the Ice Palace at 9 o'clock. Mr. Meagher came from London, and the best that can be said of him is that he bears out in every particular all the favorable things said by those who knew him abroad Mr. Meagher’s exhibition of fancy skat- ing may be called an exposition of classical skating. Many of his figures were new to all who witnessed him last night, while his daring made many a one in the hall hold his breath until after the completfon of the movement. There are three prime requisites for fancy skaters—suppleness, grace and strength—and Mr. Meagher pos- esses all these attributes in their highest forms of excellence. His exhibition eclipsed anything of the kind ever seen in this country, with the exception of those given by the same artist at the St. Nicholas Rink in New York city, and he earned his right to stand at the head of fancy skaters. The first part of Mr. Meagher’s exhibi- tion was taken up with field movements, such as tong inside and outside rolls, and in this class of movements he excelled even the graceful and daring Mabel Davidson. After these long distance figures came the real figure skating, and Mr. Meagher's work on one foot, accomplished by 2 change of edge, was simply marvelous. After a number of these movements had been shown about two dozen different colored lights were placed upon the ice and the bright arc lights attached to the ceiling of the rink were put out. The effect was de- lightful, and called forth a round of ap- plause. Then in and out among these lights, going at lightning speed, Mr. Meagher did the grapevine, anvil, crosses, the spread eagle and countless other fi ures known to the éxpert skater, and, al- though he toyched a lamp now and then, it had the effect of showing that Mr. Meagher was but human, and not the spirit he seemed, flitting about in the dim light. Then the lights were turned up and six chairs were placed on the ice. Mr. Meagher cleared the lot without an effort, and when two had been taken away, cleared the re- maining four on one foot. ae The remarkable part about this feat was that Mr. Meagher started with no head- way, on one foot, and gained hie speed necessary to carry him over the chairs on this one foot by a simple change of edge. The exhibition was brought to a close by a series of remarkable jumps, after Mr. Meagher had given some of the most won- derful toe spins, including a corkscrew spin, ever seen in this part of the country. Mr. Meagher will be seen at the rink every night this week at 9 o'clock, and he will also give a matinee exhibition Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. NO BIG DEAL ROGRESS. But Base Ball Magnates Are in Close Conference. President F. De Haas Robison, president of the Cleveland Base Ball Association, de- clared te the Associated Press representa- tive yesterday afternoon at Cleveland that there was no big base ball deal in prog- ress, as had been reported. He further said that while it was true that Messrs. Brush, Byrne and Abell were there, it was simply to discuss the trading around of some players, which it was believed would materially strengthen all the clybs involved, provided a satisfactory agree- ment could be reached. Mr. Robison and Mr. Abell of the Brook- lyn club, who was present at the interview, said that so far they had failed to reach an agreement on the proposition, and it began to look as though it would be im- possible to do so. Mr. Robison said that he believed that it would be a good thing for base ball if it could be so arranged that there would be a shifting around of play- ers between the various clubs of the Na- tional League at the end of each season, in order that the strength of the clubs might be equalized. Mr. Abell said he was of the same ozin- ion. INSTITUTES AND SAENGERBUND. They Divided Honors in Bowling Last Evening. The Carroll Institute and Saengerbund bowling teams met for the third time this season on the Institute alleys and bowled a set of tenpins, and each club split even, as in the previous sets on these alleys. In the first game the Carrolls won by the score of 744 to 656 by the Saengerbund, a margin of 88 pins. Hanold made the diffi- cult spare of 1-3-4-8 in this game. The Saengeround put up an 804 score in the sec- ond game against 706 by the Carroils, a margin of 98 pins. Rice of the Institute made the highest score of the evening, 186, ard the best average for the set, 170% pins. Spiess and Lane of the Saengerbund were €ach tied with 172 for the highest score for their side. Bruegger made an average for his side of 159 pins. Difficult spares of 7-8 and 1-3-5-7-9 were made by Stone and Arm- strong of the Carrolls. The score follows: Carroll Institute. SECOND GAME. Se. St, Sp. 1 4 4 4 a 6 25 iil Totals. Snengerbund.

SKATING CHAMPIONSHIP. Many Entries for the Three Days’ Tournament to Be Held at Stamford. The tournament for the speed skating championship of America, to be held near Stamford, Conn., has called out many en- tries, and the list includes the speediest. A half-mile course will be laid out for the distance events, and will be one hundred feet wide. The straight will be 330 yards long. A quarter mile straightaway will be provided for the sprinters. The pond on which the races will be de- cided is the same one that “Joe” Donoghue skated on when he broke all records from 21 to 100 miles January 26, 1883. The ice is in capital condition, and appearances point to a most successful skating meeting. The meeting between John Nilsson and “Joe” Donoghue in the professional races will be worth journeying the distance to witness. The rf. retary McIntyre of the Brooklyn Jockey Club yesterday received thirty-nine new entries to the various stake events for the coming season. Of these one was a Brooklyn handicap entry, the five-year-old horse Free Advice, by Leonatus-Evas, be- longing to Whitten Bros. of San Francisco. The thirty-nine entries bring the total up to 670, as compared with 520 for last year, an increase of 150. Whitten Bros. entered thirty-one of the thirty-nine new horses, the others being various western own- ers. It is expected that today’s mail will wind up the western entries. The Brooklyn Jockey Club has arranged @ special sweepstakes, in which a quartet of the greatest thoroughbreds in America will be starters. The competitors will be the Brookdale Stables’ Requital, August Belmont’s Hastings, Phil Dwyer’s Hand- spring, and Mike 's Ben Brush. It bable that other horses will be named to start. The conditions are $2,500 added, two to start of no race. The distance will be one mile and a half, the horses will meet In the week following the running cf tee in we e handicap.

AFFAIRS IN GEO RGETOWN Improvements Being Made in the Neighbor- hood of Rosslyn. The Variorum of Daily Happenings in the Jurisdiction Beyond the Roaring Rock Creek. The new. school house for the suburban village of Harlem will soon be in a condi- tion for occupency, anfi the relief from the present congested quarters will be pleasant to every one. The new schcol house is lo- cated on the street leading almost on the east bounds of the distributing reservoir and a short distance frém the Conduit road. The property was bought by the District gayernment about three months ago from Mr. John ‘Hurst, for, $2,060, and since that time the plains havébeen drawn by the bulldirg inspector and the work of construction pushed. The new school is two stories in height, and is a frame struc- ture. The work has been quite rapid, and the new building has not only been erect ed, but the roof put in piace, and the work on the interior finish commenced. _ The present one-story frame structure, on the Conduit road, about half a mile west of the present new building, will be used until everything 1s ready for their use in the more modern structure. Of late this section of the District has been impraved and built up considerably, and many new suburban homes have ap- ared. At present workmen - gaged in putting on the finishing touches to a row of two-story eight-room frame dwellings immediately opposite the new school building. Debating at the University. The Debating Society of the Georgetown Law University held a meeting in the upper lecture room last Saturday evening for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing term. There was a lively and ex- citing time, during which much enthusi- asm was manifested by the friends of the various candidates. The following members were elected: P. O’Brien, president; Mr. W. Yount, vice. president; Mr. J. H. Luthy, secretary; Mr. F. H. Kennedy, treasurer, and Mr. Roy Thomas, sergeant- at-arms. ‘The debating society was never in a more flourishing condition, its. members being thoroughly imbued with the principles em- bodied in oratorical contests, and by their large attendance at its mecting manifest their interest in its workings and suc- cess. The members are all animated by a desire to keep the society in the froat rank in the field of debate, and are anxious to add new laurels, if possible, to those al- ready won. The question for the next Sat- urday evening is: “Resolved, That the Gcvernment of the United States Should Qwn and Operate the Railroads of the country.” Upon the affirmative side of this question, J. R. Victory, jr., and J. N. Power; upon the negative side, M. H. Ma- gruder and F. P. Kennedy. Officers Installed.

The papers in the case were sent to the attorney for the District for his opinion, and he has decided that the library is ex- empt by law and cannot be taxed. —— es BEAUTY IN DISTRESS. A German Girl Who Pawns Her Em- ployer’s Property. A case with pathetic features was called to the attention of Judge Miller this after- noon in the Police Court, when Annie Neu- hBus, a typical German blonde, was ar- raigned for the larceny of several hundred dollars’ worth of jewelry and household goods, the property of Mr. St. Clair Fech ner. Miss Neuhaus is unusually attract- ive, was stylishly attired, and in court dis- played much intelligence.: She is twenty- four years of age, and has been in this country not quite three years. Further- more, she is entirely without relatives and possesses very few friends. According to the story as it was brought out in court, Annie was employed to look after the residence of Mr. Fechner, 114 3d street, that gentleman and his wife hav- ing been away from the city for several months. For this service it was arranged that she should be paid $2 a week for board and $1 additional as salary. Not receiving what was due her, she claimed, she was from time to time compelled to pawn cer- taia property belonging to Mr. Fechner in order to secure food. She intended to get the goods out of pawn, so she said, as soon as her wages were forthcoming. During the past few weeks the girl has been board- ing at 69 H street. Noticing that many articles were missing from the D street house, George Kennett, a brother-in-law of Mr. Fechner, last even- ing hid himself behind an organ in the par- lor and awaited developments. Soon Annie appeared in company with a colored man named John Henderson. Detective Carter ‘was summoned, and he placed the girl un- der arrest. She went to the house last evening, ex- Plained Annie, to see if everything was se- cure and to fasten the window shuiters. Being afraid to go alone, she requested Henderson, the husband of her washerwo- man, to accompany her for protection. On the articles pawned $75.50 was realized. Several parties were in court to ask for leniency in behalf of the girl. They were of the opimion that Mr. Fechner would not push the case and asked that the hearing be continued unti? communication could be had with the owner of the property in rela- tion to the matter. Judge Miller granted a continuance until Saturday next, holding the girl in $100 bonds. An effort was made this afternoon to raise the necessary se- curity. . ——__ Bank Directors Elected.
