FEW CHANGES EA BASE BALL RULES Columbia nig Club Whisters Beaten™at Albany. CHARLEY MITCHELL COMING SAN FRANCISCO, February 1.--Harry Corbett, brother of the man who is to do battle with Fitzsimmons, expects to leave this city today or tomorrow for Nevada for the purpose of selecting a suit- able training ground for James J. Corbett. He expects to be gone about a week. Harry says that several locations have been sug- gested to him, but he has no idea at pres- ent which place he will select. The pro- gram at present mapped out by his brother, says Harry, is to ¢ome direct to this city from Kansas City with his trainers. He will remain here several days, meanwhile taking light exercise, and will then go to Nevada for four weeks of heavy work. Geo. Green, the well-known welter-weight of this city, is looking forward fondly to a match with Tommy Ryan, the champion of that class, to take place immediately preceding the Corbett-Fitzsimmons battle. He is waiting for news from Stuart. Green first challenged “Kid” Lavigne, but_that clever boxer declined the meeting. Green wants the championship badly, and wants to fight for it. His manager, second and trainer, “Big Bill’ Lange, the base ball player, says he has $10,000 to put up as a side bet that Green whips Ryan. PUEBLO, Col., February 1.—The Rover Wheel and Athletic Club has wired James J. Corbett, offering him the use of their gymnasium, ball court and track for his training. FEW CHANGES IN THE RULES. Hart of Chicaxo Cinims There Will Not Be Many Alterations, James A. Hart, president of the Chicago Base Pall Club, and chairman of the rules committee, at the convention of the Nation- al League claims there will be few changes in the rules for the coming season. In an interview the other day ke said: “I had all the work to do. I finished and have sent the result of my burnings of the midnight fivid to my conferees on the com- mittee, Reach of Philadelphia and Hanicn of Baltimore. The proposed changes are very few, and relate soiely to the govern- ment of the game, and the proper enforce- mefht of discipline by the umpires. From the tenor of Mr. Hart's discourse, it is apparently certain that no changes bave been made in the matter of the pitch- er’s position. IS CHAMPION.

The Hend of the Pennsylvania Rail- read Stricken Down. George B. Roberts, president of the Penn- sylvania Railroad Company, died Saturday afternoon at his home, in Bala, a suburb of Philadelphia, from heart faflure, which was superinduced by acute indig ‘ion. Mr., Roberts was sixty-four years old. He was first taken ill in August last, but there have been periods since that time during which he has been able to be about the house. He died surrounded by the mem- bers of his family, ‘and was conscious until the last. Mr. Roberts was born January in Montgomery county, Pa. After leaving the Troy Polytechnic School he entered the service of the Pennsylvania railroad as 1833, George B. Roberts. aredman. In the following year he went to the Philadelphia and Erie read. In 1862 President J. Eagar Thompson of the Penn- sylvania railroad induced him to return to that road as an ass‘siant to himself. In 1869 he became fourth vice president; in ist# first vice president, and in 18S, on Col. Scott's death, was made president. Kew men ever czme to the head of a great corporation better qualified by ex- perience and intimate knowledge of its af- fairs than did Mr. Roberts to the presi of this great corporati To ledge of men and the phy teristics of the system he added that ripe experience in the details of management which his careful attention to every depart- ment in the service had brought to him. One of the most important purchases made during his term of office was that of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti- more railroad. The announcement of this ct by Mr. Roberts at the annual meet- which occurred on the day the trans- tion was consummated, created an in- describabie enthusiasm in the great body of stockholders assembled in Musical Fund Hall. In line with this purchase was the acquisition of the Nerthern Central Ra‘l- way hy purchase of the majority of its stock, of the Philadelphia and Erie rail- road, the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and cago railroad, and other integral porti.

President Roberts’ was held in high es- teem by the officials of all of the other trunk line ‘raiiroads, and as a tribute of their respect he was appointed chairman of the board of presidents of the Trunk Line Association, and many times re-elected to that position. Frank Thomson. Frank Tnomson, who is looked upon as the successor of Mr. Roberts as president, is in his 1ifty-fifth year. He has been first vice president since 1888, being really at the heal of the practical operation of the road. Frank Thomson was born at Chambers- burg, Pa., July 5, 1841. He entered the Al- toorn shops at the age of seventeen, Col. ‘Thomas A. Scott being at that time general 204} superintendent of the line. On the breaking out of the rebellion, when Col. Scott was called to Washingtcn to take charge of the transportation of troops, he selected Mr. Thomson as one of his aids and placed him in charge of the construction and opera- tion of military railways. Mr, Thomson resigned from the govern- ment service in June, 1864, and was ap- pointed superintendent of the eastern di- vision of the Philadelphia and Erie railroad. In June, 1873, he was appointed suzerin- tendent of motive power of ali the Penn- sylvania railroad lines, in charge of con- rolling and floating equipment of the com- pany, and in July, 1874, he was appointed general f the Pernsytvanta rail- road Tines. In October, 1852, he was made second vice president. Glance down this list. Did you ever see better chances of getting a full money’s worth?
