Building Trades Council Not Satisfied ‘With Commissioners’ Answer. ‘The weekly meeting of the Building Trades Council tast evening was attended by the representatives of eight organiza- tions. President William Silver presided, and Mr. Daniel Sullivan was secretary. ‘The secretary laid before the council the correspondence between himself and the District Commissioners relative to the em- ployment of members of the fire department on private work. The reply of the Commis- sioners stated that ‘the extent of such work is insignificant, and almost entirely confined to such work about the engine houses as tends to increase the personal comfort of the men. The members of the department are required to give their un- divided attention to their duties within their quarters and on active fire duty, and will not be allowed to engage in employ- ments bringing them in competition with outside labor.” The ats was declared to be unsatisfac- tory, and that the members of the council were “satisfied from investigation that fire- men have been employed on the private Property of some of those in authority in the fire department, instances being given of houses owned by Assistant Chief Belt, the work having been done by Foreman Robertson and members of No. 8 Engine Company and Truck A.” < A special committee was appointed to thoroughly investigate the matter and re- port all the facts on the subject at the next meeting of the council. A special committee was also to call on the managers of the local breweries in the interest of -Workers’ Union, No, 118, and wise to request them to use the union products. —_.—__ @@@@|WAGNER'S BIG OFFER Proposed Sale of-thé Pick of the Sonatas, Fags Pe REAT CHANCE FOR PHILADELPHIA Foot Ball Games | of Local In- , terest. CURRENT NOTES OF SPORT “The Messrs. Wagner spruhg a big sur- prise on the prominent base ball people at the meeting of the National League yester- day in Philadelphia, when they proposed to the Philadelphia club to sell the Washing- ton players under contract for $30,000. Mr. Earl Wagner's plan is for the Philadelphia club to select twenty players of the fifty- eight under contract to Philadelphia and Washington, and return the rest to the Washingtons, from which a team will be selected to represont this city. It looks like a good thing for Philadelphia, but the re- verse for Washington. Outside of Taylor, Clements, Lajoi and Delehanty there tis hardly a player on the. Philadelphia pay roll that is worth negotiating for. Add to these men McGuire, Mercer, McJames, De- Montreville, Wrigley and Selbach, and it can be seen that a very strong team could be developed. The players that would be lest for the Messrs. Wagner to select a team from would embrace for the most part young players drafted from the minor leagues, who may or may not prove great players, with the biggest chances in favor of their being “dead ones.” Tne Philadelphia papers, as a rule, urge upon the Philadelphia management the wis- dom of making this deal, but for the sake of base ball in Washington It is to be hoped that the proposition will be rejected. Man- ager Earl Wagner and Captain Tom Brown have developed a team and also a feeling in Washington that augurs well for the na- tional game in Washington next season. Should a deal such as proposed, take place the enthusiasm of Washington would no doubt be chilled to a great extent, while at the same time there can be no question that Captain Brown would have the work of his life to land a team selected from the cast-off players higher in the champlon- ship race than tenth or eleventh place. Mr. Earl Wagner has assured the local papers that he would positively sell no more players, but that he is always ready for a trade wherein he thought the Wash- ington club could be strengthened. The news that comes from Philadelphia would indicate the contrary. It wags understood that when Manager Wagner and Captain Brown went to this league meeting their main object was to secure cone or pos- sibly two inflelders, and that. if nothing developed in the way of a first-class player or two, the present strong combination that represented Washington so well last season would be retained. It is hoped that the Washingtons’ manager and captain will stick to the original idea. Rumors ef Deals. While the leaguers were_in session wrest- ling with the dry routine, rumors of all kinds of deals were cfrculhted through the corridors of the WaltoniHotel. No less than three clubs have made the St. Louis management an offer, for. Shortstop Monte Cross. The Philadelphia club made a wholesale proposition; involving the trans- fers of Jack Taylor, Laye Cross, Tommy Dowd and Clements for Monte Cross, Don- oghue and Douglass. Just what the New York and Louisville clubs, offered was not revealed, but from a play{ng standpoint it was understood that \thein offers were not nearly so advantagegus to the St. Louis club as that made by the Philadelphia club. It was also reported: that Manager Han- lon of the Baitimore team is willing to lis- ten to propositions looking to the transfer or trade of Players Doyle and McGraw, and that Catcher Grady of the St. Louis team had been purchased by New York, but this latter report was later denied. The board of arbitration took. up the ma- jor portion of the day discussing the claims of the different players of the minor leagues. Every one of these cases was de- cided against the players. Morgan Murphy was fined some $200 on account of not play- ing, being indisposed through a cinder in- juring his right eye. This case was one of the most prominent, but went against Mur- phy on a technicality. “Farming” System Indorsed. The farming-out system was practically indorsed by the board when Mr. Brush’s amendment was adopted that a National League club can loan or farm a player to a minor league club and reclaim him by giving thirty days’ notice, dnd, further, that such player can be reclaimed upon de- mand, if such an agreement 1s made be- tween the clubs when the player is loaned, hired or farmed out. Ip connection with this, it was decided that a minor league player must be subject to reservation un- der clause H for two years before he can be claimed by a National League club. The above legislation must be adopted by the National League before it becomes effect- ive, and it cannot affect the eastern and western leagues until the season of 1899, unless they give it their practical indorse- ment before the beginning of next season. The board of directors of the National League got together about 4 o'clock yester- day afternoon. They awarded the cham- pionship to Boston. Umpire Lynch’s appeal for salary during a month's: illness was al- lowed. A complimentary resolution was passed thanking Président Young for his efficient services durir.g the season of 1807, and he was authorized ‘to establish a per- manent office in the city of Washington for the transaction of National League busi- ness.: This step will he hailed with delight by the Washington newspaper men, as it is an innovation that should have been adopt- ed years ago. Notes of the Meeting. President Hart of the Chicago Club is re- ported to be in favor of the clubs making four trips east and west instead of two. From present indications it looks as though the double umpire system would be adopted for next year. Third Baseman Billy Nash of the Phila- delphias may also figure in a trade. The New York club is making a strong bid for Catcher Clements of Philadelphia. The Brooklyn club is figuring for two of the St. Louis players, probably Second Baseman Hallman and Catcher Morgan Murphy. It was reported early in the afternoon that John T. Brush oF ine Cincinnati club and James A. Hart of the Chicagos had a long private conference.’ ‘When these two men get together something startling gen- erally follows. Many of the base bail/seople at the meet- ing intimated that they would not be sur- prised if Joe Quinn of the Baltimores would be Aes! on second base for the Phillies next season. Ex-Umpires WesleyCcurry_and Charles Snyder want to get in be ee again under Uncle Nick Young, a: "fi ley were quietly pulling the wires yestefday looking to their appointment next season: President Freedman and Capt.

The third day of the second fall meeting of the Washirgton Jockey Club yesterday his old furnishod about the best sport of the meet- | ing, two favorites and two. second choices winning, and a secord choice and an out- sider making a dead heat of it in the re- maining race. The crowd in attendance was surprisingly large, the condition of the ‘weathee considered, and the speculation was about the heaviest of the meeting. The track was deep and very heavy in places, and the going in the steeplechase course was so heavy thatethe pink coat event for gentlemen riders was declared off. It will be run some time next week, with probably more than the two starters entered for yesterday's event. . The peculiar running of the western crack, Dr. Catlett, in the last race Monday, resulted in-a determination of the stewards to refuse, for the present at least, all en- tries made by his owners, the Turney broth- ers. Three horses started in the race in question—Dr. Catlett, Premier and Good Times—and, after being backed down from 7 to 5 to 7 to 10, Dr. Catlett finished third, Premeir winning. O'Leary, who rode Dr. Catlett, informed the stewards that the horse would rot go on. The stable gave out before the race that they did not believe their horse was a certainty by any means, although they thought his class would prob- ably place him in front. A bookmaker claims to have received a telegram from a well-known patron of the turf in New York directing him to play Dr. Catlett, but the man in question denies having sent the message. The stewards still have the mat- ter under consideration. First, seven furlongs—Rossifer, 102 (Ma- her), 2 to 1, won by a length; Minnie Al- phonse, 99 (Sorger), 10 to 1, second; Prompt, 102 (O'Connor), 15 to 1, third. Time, 1.32 1-5. Taranto, Break O’ Day, Mount Washing- ton, Eleanor Mc, Flames and Halton also ran. Second, five furlongs—Sanger, 100 (Song- er), 7 to 2, won by a length; Black Dude, 109- (Jackson), 20 to 1, second; Arellac, 109 (Meher), 20 to 1, third. Time, 1.05 2-5. Ella Daly, Taunton, Will Glenn, Gun Metal, Sea Puss, Congreve, Crayon and Ramoncita aiso ran.

The Eastern High School team, by the size of its score over the Business High School team, in the game played yesterday tt National Park, would seem to be a little bit superior to the Central School team, against which it is now pitted for the championship of the high schcols. The score of yesterday’s game was 46 to 0, while the Centrals were able to score but 34 against the warriors from 1st street, which would seem to indicate that the Easterns in some way or other are a little stronger than their Central brethren. The game between the Centrals and Easterns will take place Tuesday next, and will de- cide the championship of ‘the various schools. It is expected that the game will attract interest, not only from the schools, but from outside persons interested in foot ball on account of .the excellence of the contests as exhibitions of foot ball. The game yesierday was interesting. not- withstanding the one-sided score, the cause of which was the superior weight, the finer training «nd the faster team play of the Eastern am. The business team did not have possession of the hall at hardly any time during the game after the kick-off, and could not make the slightest gain even at that time. The Easterns, on the other hand, played a splendid offensive game, and every try at the line resulted in yards of gain. “Soc” Maupin, Bliss and Wors- ley, together with Full Back Snell, played great games, while Weaver and Smith, for the Business, also put up a good game. Snell’s goal kicking was _a feature. In spite of the extremely stiff wind blowing directly acrcss the field, he managed to place seven directly between the goal posts. The line-up of the teams was as follow: Eastern H. S. Position. Business H. 8. Newton -Richmond -Cockrell . Ake .Farquhar, Van De Venter Bi Right tackle -Right end -Quarter back. -Left half back. Referee—Mr. Snell of the Orient Athletic Club. Umpire—Mr. Ross of Le Droit Ath- letic Club. Linesmen—Messrs. Proctor and Shepley. Time—2 25-minute halyes. Touch- downs—Chaplyn, Snell, Bliss (2), S. Maupin and Worsley (2). Goals—Snell, 7. Gallaudet and Friends. The Gallaudet and Friends’ Select School foot ball teams will meet this afternoon at Kendall Green. Capt. Rosson, who has been ill for some time, will be in the game, but Erd, who was injured in the recent game with the University of Virginia, in which the deaf mutes scored against the Virginians, will not be able to play for some days. 2), Georgetown College Foot Ball, The second game of the series of inter- class foot ball at Georgetown University will be played this afternoon on the col- lege field, when the juniors (99) will meet the freshmen (1901). The "99 team will be made up of O'Shea or Doyle, Byrne, Bar- rett, Jellemy, O'Neil, Nagle, Donahue, Moore or Romaine, Casey or J. Lobit, T. Cullen and L. Cullen. The class of 11 will put in the field Barry, Douglass, Greene, P. Lobit, English, O'Connell, Gracie, Keane, Minnahan, Mur- phy and Fleming. Knickerbocker-Columbia A. C. One of the most notable games of the season in this city will be the one played at National Park Saturday afternoon be- tween the famous Knickerbocker Athletic Club of New York city and ‘the Columbia Athletie Club of this city.. The wearers of the renowned “cherry diamond” will come here with the prestige of an entirely successful season, as they have won every game played. In fact, they have been scored against just once this season, by the Orange Athletic Club, which made four points. But the Winged Arrow ath- letes will endeavor to give the “Cherry Diamonds” a hot argument, and daily practice at Columbia Field and in the club gymnasium is rounding off the rough edges, so that when the ball is put in play Saturday the men will be in fine fet- tle, worthy to meet their sturdy brethren from the Tammany district. The team which the Knickerbockers will bring to Washington is as follows: James J. Hughes, captain and right tackle, late of the famous Crescent team, for years the amateur wrestling champion of the United States; R. G. Cornell, late of the Orange and Elizabeth teams J. Kingden of the HERMITAGE WHeiES BO0G09 GOO998009800006900 New Jersey Athletic Club; T. W. formerly of Leland 8. J. Hall, an ex-Harvard ler, W. R. Neidlinger, M. Waters, Charlies O'Connor, J. J. Storms, R. E. Larendon, Keown, A. F. Beers, G. J. Senner, E. Fitz Simons, all acknowledged stars in the foot ball firmament. The team will arrive in the city Friday night. TO SEND CYCLISTS ABROAD. Selecting Wheelmen for the Inter- rational Races. The next issue of the American Wheel- man will give the following account of an undertaking by the cycling newspaper press of the country to send representative wheel- men to the- international championship races at Vienna next year: “In every town of sufficient size a meet will be run, and on the same day as nearly as possible.. These will be called “trial meets,” the winners in them to ride in a “semi-final meet,” which will be held two or three weeks later; and, in turn, the win- ners of these will compete in the final, which will be held about the latter part of June, in order to permit the final winners, who will constitute the team, to reach Vienna in time to become acclimated. It is intended by this means to select the best amateur and best professional riders in the country, as the process of “weeding out” will be so thorough that there can be ro doubt that the men who win in the finals are the fastest in all the United States. The funds that will be derived from these meets will be more than ample to send two men abroad, and as many will be sent as the receipts will permit. “It is the present intention to conduct semi-final meets in New York, Buffalo, Boston, Louisville, Indianapolis, Chicago, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Denver and New Orleans, the final to be run in New York; and all of the smaller cities in the vicinity of these will furnish the trial meets. “Wherever the newspaper men have been approached on the subject they have re- sponded with alacrity; not a waver or dis- senting reply. The word has passed along the line quietly, but so effectively that the movement can now be publicly announced. The cities which have so far become part of the organization are New York, Hart- ford, Boston, Worcester, Providence, Brockton, Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester, In- dianapolis, Toledo, Terre Haute, Cleveland, Columbus, Louisville, Chicago, Grand Rap- ids, Detroit, Minneapolis and Denver.” Additional Bench Show Prizes.
