SLOANE A GREAT RIDER. Meeting of the District League to Perfect Arrangements. The District Bowling League met at the Washington Saengerbund last evening and took final action on matters pertaining to the coming ,season of the league. The schedule was changed slightly, and by the new arrangement the season will be fin- ished about two weeks earlier, although each club will still play the original num- ber of games. Three matches will be rolled each night, Instead of two, as previously arranged, giving each club forty-eight games, instead of thirty-two. Additional prizes have been tendered, as follows: By Mr. Gcorge A. Stitt, a silk umbrella to the player making the greatest number of Spares in a single game, and by Mr. Louis L. Koon, a poodle dog to player making the greatest average of “poodles.” The openirg game will be played Mon- day evening on the Saengerbund alleys, the Carroll Institute team being the oppo- rents. From present indications there will be the largest crowd ever in attendance at a local bowling match. Tardy Acknowledgment of Jockey’s Ability by London Press, LONDON, November 11.—‘Tod” Sloane, the American jockey, has*won high ap- proval here, and the newspapers which formerly criticised him now acknowledge that he is a great rider. The Globe says: “However ugly Sloane’s style it pays, and we must admit that he is a perfect artist in the saddle and that at his weight we have little stock in this country to cope with him.” The Sun says: ‘Even the most prejudiced are forced to admit that he knows how to beat most of our men when his mount is good enough. There is something in his method deserving of consideration.” _ o—— STILL ANOTHER RACE FOR. SLOANE. Now Famous Jockey Brings Sapling im a Winner. LONDON, November 11.—At the second day’s racing of the Liverpool autumn meet- ing today D.

DEALS AND: TRADES oe ae Strengthening the, Base Ball Teams for Néxt Wear, WAGHER'S By OFER REJECTED Poor Prospect for the Double Um- pire System. CURRENT NOTES oF SPORT The magnates of the National League were to begin-their meeting at noon yes- terday in Philadelphia, but # was 3 o’clock before they were called to order by Presi- dent Young. They remained in session until near 6 o'clock, discussing such topics as the league’s relations to the minor leagues, telegraphic privileges, the umptre question and other minor matters. That was the official end of the proceedings. But down in the corridors of the Walton Hotel a couple of trades were pulled off and dozens of propositions made. The Biggest Trade. ‘The biggest trade of the day was ar- ranged between the Philadelphia and St. Louis clubs. The Philadelphia club se- cures Shortstop Monty Cross, Catcher Douglars and Pitcher Donahue in exchange for Jack Taylor, pitcher; Lave Cross, Clem- ents and Dowd. This deal was discussed in all its details by the base ball and news- paper men, and the almost universal ver- dict was arrived at that the St. Louis mag- nate came out on top.. The Philadelphia club needs a first-class shortstop, but Cross is far from being that sort of a player. He belongs to the spotty class, playing one game in the inost sensational style and in the next two or three making blunders that the poorest minor leaguer would be Dorahue is about the only good man in the three, although Douglass, by utilizing him at first base, may, per- haps, strengthen one of the Phiilies’ many weak points. On the other hand, Taylor and Clements, not more than two years ack, were considered about the best men in the two positions in the big league, Rusie, of course, excepted. Lave Cross season befcre last played third base in such an exceptional style that he led the league in that position with an average very close to the 1000 per cent mark. Tommy Dowd goes back to St. Louts, where he has a host of friends and where his work was corsidered above the ordi- nary. When Dowd arrived in Philadelphia he found a class of players and people that proved his undoing. Back in the mound city Tommy will no doubt get back in first- class form and play the ball that the Wash- ington people know he ts capable of. Wagnerw’ Offer Rejected. The proposition of the Wagner brothers to the Philadelphia magnates looking to the sale of the entire senatorial outfit for $30,000 was the chief subject of discussion among the base bail people around the hotel, and it was the general opinion that Messrs. Reach and-Rogers made a monu- mental mistake when they refused the Washington magndte’s™offér. It was ar- gued that Mercer's release was worth at least $7,500; McJames, 85,000; DeMontre- ville, $7,500, and McGuire, Wrigley and Sel- bach should command~$20,000 more. Of course these figures may be a little high on the basis of what b: ball players are worth in cash today. bu their value to the Philadelphia club ),wowld be thousands above these figures. The offer was held under advisement byiths Philadelphia mag- nates for three or four hours, but they finally concluded td‘decline. This decision can be looked upon.as 4 lucky one for the Washington base ball “people. It was a rather strange coineid@ence that Reach and Rogers made up a list of twenty players they would take 4m the event of their ac- ceptance of the Wa; ners Proposition that agreed to a ‘man wit he list that the Washington magnates had made up. A good many Washington base ball en- thusiasts have been hoping, 'm fact, have been expecting, to read a denial from him of the reported proposition to seli out Washington for $30,000. They didn’t be- leve that he would do it. They thought that he was in a fair way to become a second Hanlon. He has the nucleus of a first division team, and the home folks ex- pected him to strengthen it instead of ruining it. There are two things about the Proposition that Washington people can- not understand. One is how Earle Wagner could make the offer and the other is how the Philadelphia magnates could refuse it. A Good Deal for Cincinnati. Another deal that has all.the ear marks of being one-sided was that agreed upon between the Cincinnati and. Pittsburg clubs. President Brush and Manager Ewing of former club give the Pittsburg club Pitcher Rhines, Catcher Schriver, Third Baseman Grey and Outfielder McCarthy. In return President-Manager Watkins of the smoky city team gives up Pitcher Hawley and Left Fielder Elmer Smith.: This deal will strengthen the Cincinnati club very mate- rially, while it 1s alt a case of future de- velopment looking at it from a Pittsburg Point of view. Rhines is about Hawley’s equal in a pitching sense, but is a harder man to handle and is about ten years “Pink's” senior. Elmer Smith is a natural -850 hitter, and had he been in the Reds’ left garden last season they would no doubt have finished in first or second Place. Schriver will strengthen Pittsburg’s Weakest point, behind the bat, while the work of McCarthy and Grey can only be guessed at. Possibilities, There is a possibility that Mike Grady, the pugnacious catcher and first baseman of the St. Louis club, will go to New York if Mr. Von Der Ahe ts not too extravagant in his demands.- President Freedman of the New Yorks yesterday morning offered Do- heny and Holmes and a cash consideration for Grady and Taylor. This looked too rich for the St. Louis magnate, and he made a counter-proposition of Grady and Hartman for $10,000. This was too much for Mr. Freedman, but there is more than @ fair possibility that a good-sized wad of money will land Mr. Grady in the» New York camp. : It was reported that Manager Hanlon of the Baltimores also hed‘an eye on Haw- ley, Smith and Donoyan of the Pittsburgs, but refused to say what players he would give In exchange. y A scene that was not down on the sched- ule came off a little before 6 o'clock in the corridor of the Walton Hotel between Pres- ident of the New Yorks and ex- Umpire George Burnham. The latter, a little the worse for too much liquid re- freshments, tried to strike up a familiar speaking acquaintanee with the New York man, which the fortier fesented in positive terms. A wordy warfare followed, in which George Davis, the New York shortstop, and President Hart fef Ciiicago became em- broiled, but the interference of friends of both parties prevented anything worse than bud a et se Passed, between the-parties in- terest ig ta Tried to Get ;Selbach.

Last night the sisiting ‘magnates and newspaper men were the guests of the '@ and’ 4 to 1, fomity in scoring were discussed. They will hold another meeting today. All the visiting base ball magnates in Philadelphia and also the newspaper men will make up a large box party at one of the Philadelphia theaters this evening. To- morrow evening the Pen and Pencil Club will take a hand in entertaining the visi- tors. report that Manager-Captain Anson of the Chicago club would be replaced by the old Chicago third baseman, Tom Burns, who last year managed the Springfield Eastern League club, was proved false last evening. Mr. Anson and President Hart of the Chicago club both said that such a ehange has never been under consideration. Mr. Burns went to Philadelphia with t sole object of securing a birth as umpire on Uncle Nick’s staff next year. Boston and Baltimore “Stand Pat.” The story about the Boston club owners. being disssatisfied with Hamilton, Lowe and Long is said to have been made out of the whole cloth. Mr. Soden said last even- ing that the club owners were well satisfied with all the players that had helped to win the pennant. Manager Hanlon of the Baltimores said last evening that he was going to stand pat with the players he already had on his re- serve list. Others know better. One mag- nate said that he could not stand pat, be- cause he knew that at least one player had announced his determination to quit the game rather than play ball in Baltimore again. Jack Doyle told Hanlon right after the last Temple game, according to this magnate, that he might just as well make arrangements for him to play somewhere eles next season, as he would never play in Baltimore again. Robinson will not be with the Baltimores again. His search arm is gone. McGraw is another play: whom Manager Hanlen would like to trade, according te this magnate, and he ts not quite sure but Joe Kelly would be let out in a pinch. This magnate says that no one should believe for a second that Hanlon is going to stand pat, as his team was not fast enough this year, and he is afraid to take the field next seadon with the same crew. ‘The Double Umpire Question. Several of the prominent base ball mag- nates gave the laugh to the report that the double umpire system would be adopted next season. The officials of the league are divided on the question, the additional expense of about $10,000 being the great- est obstacle to the new idea, and chances are that the proposition will be buried this time as it has been before. President Freedman showed himself to be a man true to his friends yesterday when he announced that as long as he was connected with the New York club he wo} play one game each season, the re- ceipts of which would go to the daugh- ter of the late base ball writer, O. P. Caylor. Another topic which was not popular with the magnates was the Temple cup sub- ject. It begins to look as though the post season series will be abolished and the cup returned to its donor, Mr. W. S. Tem- ple of Pittsburg. The latter had not ar- rived in Philadelphia up to yesterday toon, but it was rumored that he will be on hand today ard take the imitiative in regard to the matter. Ned Hanien’s scheme of making a purse of $12,000 to be divided among the first three clubs is not much of a hit. Hanlon says that the post season games will not be abolished, but that they will be placed under control of the league. However, the opinions on this subject vary greatly. It is said that Fred Clarke of the Louis- villes is after Second Baseman Billie Hall- man, and that the latter's desire to get away from St. Louis may be gratified. This is another dicker that is liable to go through. BEST RACING OF THE MEET. Favorites and Two Choices Won. Two favorites and two second choices finished first yesterday at the fourth day of the second fall meeting of the Washing- ton Jockey Club, the other race going to an outsider. The track showed a little improvement, but was in far from good condition, and slow and heavy. The at- tendance was much better, the speculation being the heaviest of the mesting. In the fourth race Hairpin, finishing third, was disqualified for fouling Merlin, and Isen was placed third, although about every- body but Judge McDowell believed Isen beaten by Pentet Canet by a length or more. In that race Chargrace, at 100 to 1, was beaten only a head, after getting off absolutely last. Alarum, at 10 and 15 to 1, was quietly tipped as a certainty in the last race, and fully justified expecta- tions. The racing on the whole was by far the best of the meeting. First race, six and one-half furlongs—Sly Fox, 108 (Simms), 1 to 2 and cut, won by half a length; Aurum, 98 (O'Connor), 530 to 1_ and 5 to 1, second; Blue Devil, 121 (O'Leary), 9 to 5 and 1 to 4, third. Time, 1.24. The Manxman also ran. Second race, seven furlongs—Warrenton, 110 (rving), 5 to 2 and 7 to 10, won by 2 length; Rinaldo, 110 (O'Leary), 3 to 1 and even, second; Handpress, 111 (Doggett), 7 to 5 and 8 to 5, third. Time, 1321.5. Bar- dello and Longacre also ran. Third race, six furlongs—Albert S., 110 (R. Williams), 2 to 1 and 3 to 5, won by half a length; South Africa, 110 (Simms), 6 to 5 and 1 to 2, second; Tappan, 102 (Hewitt), 6 to 1 and 2 to 1, third. Time, 117 1-5. Summer Sea, Dalgretti, His Own, Hurl, Geo. H. Ketcham, Mantle, ‘Maud Adams, Kaiser Ludwig and Venetia II also ran. Fourth race, six furlongs—Hardiy, 109 (R. Williams), 2 to 5 and out, won by a head; Chargrace, 102 (Hirsch), 100 to 1 and 20 to 1, second; Hairpin, 98 (Senger), 30 to third. Time, 1.17 3-5. Pontet Cantet, Isen, Merlin, Plaintain, Checkers and Lucid also ran. Hairpin finished third, = fouled Merlin, and Isen was given the place. Fiith race, one and one-sixteenth miles— Alarum, 111 (Doggett), 12 to 1 and 4 to 1, won by a head; King T., 116 (Hewitt), 20 to 1 and 5 to 1, second; Counsellor Howe, 106 (O'Connor), 60 to 1 and 4 to 1, third. Time, 1.53. Ben Ronald, Abingdon, Mar- shall, James Monroe and Sue. Kittie also ran. ‘Two Second BASKET BALL. Eastern Athletic Club Defeats the Queer Wheelmen. The second game of the District Basket Ball League series was won last night by. the Eastern Athletic Club, the Queer Wheelmen being defeated by a score of 7 to 1. The game was played at the Light Infantry armory, and nearly five hundrea spectators were present. to enjoy the clean playing and fine exhibition of passing and goal throwing. The winning team scored @ victory on account of superior team work. The teams lined up as follows: Eastern A. C.—Hutchinson, h. g.; Bea- mans, r. f.; Ellis, 1.

Opposing center, whatever “Tubb: his Dickinson and Saunders will play the posi- tions of guards, while Capt. Well Gowan will be found in tackles. The ends of the Columbia team are weak as regards weight, but immensely strong in the matter of activity and foot ball skill.

The Friends’ Select School made an unex- pected showing against the Gallaudet team yesterday at Kendall Green, and, although the final sccre was 18 to 0 in favor of the deaf mutes, the game was by no means un- interesting and easily won.
