GAMES OF THE BOWLING LEAGUE |= Corbett Makes a Biepcut for a Fight With’ Fitz, CURRENT SPORTING NOTES J. Earl Wagner gives notice of the fol- lowing changes in the Washington club: Seyboid has been sold to the Richmond club, as there was no place for him on the team. Catcher Dixon has been drafted from the Providence club. Dixen is said to be one of the-most phenomenal young catch- ers in the -country, and Mr. Wagner says he does not intend to let any phenom make his escape, if he can avoid it. It is probable that Harvey Smith, who was signed by the Washington club some time since, will not play ball next season; that is, with the Senators. He failed to keep an important business engagement with Mr. Wagner and has notified the’ club owners that he will not play ball on Sunday. Mr. Wagner notified him that everything was off, so far as he was con- cerned. Leahy or Wagner will play third base. BOWLING, Saengerbund Wins Two Games From the W. A. C. Although the Saengerbund bewlers won two of the three games played. at the Washington Athletic Cth last "hight, their percentage in the league race fell from 887 to 833, The Germans showed up well in their team play, securing 283 pins more ih the three games than did their adversaries.” Dietz, of the W. A. C., had a decidedly off night, being able to: bowl but 120 for his highest game. Burch made the only diffi- cult spare of the contest, making 5—G—10 in the last game. Charlie Spiess, in the third game, #rested from MeCaully of the Wash- ingtons the honors held by him for some time for the highest individual score, Spiess bowling the good string of 244. He opened with three spares, following, with a double header, then sparing and iinishing with a quad, and making 28 pins in his last frame. ‘The Saengers had difficulty in finding the alleys ir the opening game, Hanold leading the side with while the home club bewled steadily together and won by a margin of 27 pins.

Corbett, dissatisfied with the result of his late contest with you at Car- son City, and not believing that you are his superior either as a boxer or fighter, and being of the opinion that the majority of the American public shares his belicf that he can defeat you, if ever you are man enough to grant him a return battle on equal conditicns, has deposited today $2,500 as a first deposit to bind a metch for $10,000 a side, the person or persons offering the largest inducements to have the management of the contest. “As you have said today that your wife has withdrawn her objections to you again entering the ring, there is no reason why the arrangement should not be speedily consummated; for you, in my presence, at Carson City gave Corbett your word of honor that if you ever entered the ring again you would give him first chance. “It is useless for you to attempt to de- ceive the public and try to boom your Private interests by attempting to force Corbett to meet some seepnd.or third-rate boxer before he shall beventitled to your notice.

Chase to Race Reynolds. W. T. Walton, manager of Arthur A.

The series, it is announced, will be for a purse of $500 and a side stake of $500. The first race will in all probability be held at Silver Lake, S. I., where the na- tional championships were held last year, or in New York city; the second at Buf- falo or Toronto, and the third at Mon- treal, all early in the new year. The men deposited $250 each to bind the match. Reynolds was the winner of the na- tional championship of America last year. Chase holds a number of European skating records.

SPECIAL DELIVERY. —_———_—_. NOT A MODERN INVENTION. Discovery of an Elevator Used by the Ancients, While it Is supposed generally that the elevator is purely a modern invention, such is not the case. Prof. Otis T. Mason of the National Museum has an object used by the Indians of Alaska which proves that this useful invention is really an old thing. What Mr. Mason has is a tree climbing device. While, similar devices have been found in other parts of the world, this is about the only one that has been discovered in America. It is used by the Indians of the Tlingit arca in Alaska, and was obtained by a naval officer. The device resembles one of the palmyra climbers of India. It is thirty- two inches long, nearly six inches wide and one and one-quarter inches thick in its strongest part. The apparatus is made of cedar, and a piece of wood has a dou- ble function. The great part is like a swing board or boatswain’s chair, having its upper side chambered for the rider. The underside is carved. Holes are bored fer the stout cedar rope, which is knotted at one end and passed through the outer hole. The other end is rolled through the irrer hole, and has a long, loose end. Out- side of this swing board arrangement is carved a portion which has the function of a cleat. The wood cutter or carver, as the case might be, sits upon the seat, places the rope around the tree and through the in- ner hole and makes it fast by one or more half hitches to the cleat. He uses the apparatus for climbing a tree in the same way in which it is employed in India, and also uses it as a boatswain’s chair in hold- ing himself in position while he is operat- ing upon a trunk. Accompanying this is a smaller device, yet quite as effective, which is used for the feet. —_—>—— THE PRICE OF TURKEYS. Fowls Are Plentifal and Likely to Be Cheap. “The cold weather since Christmas will not affect the price of turkeys on New Year day,” remarked a local dealer to a Star reporter today. “It may be that they will be slightly cheaper, because of the left-over stock from Christmas. Turkeys are not so much in demand for New Year day as they are for Christmas, and really they are in greater demand for Thanks- giving than they are for either of the oth- er_ holidays.” The fowls, he said, are plentiful, and no matter what kind of weather is experienced later in the week prices are not going to be any higher. None of them, he said, will bring more than 15 cents a pound. Se Police Entertained. Sergeant Mulhall of the fifth precinct en- tertained the officers of the precinct at his home on Sth street southeast Tuesday af- ternoon.

Fat ere Serene Sk aut Oth atteets STRIKE OFF THE FRAUDS Gen. Gobin, 1 Ohief of the G. A. R., Discusses Pension Question. His Order Wants Only Justice for Its Searcely Credit Some Figures. Membecrs—He Can In an Interview with the representative of the New York World at Lebanon, Pa., yesterday Gen. John P. 8. Gobin, com- mander-in-chief of the G. A. R., gave his views on the subject of pensions. Gen. Gobin said: “The pension question has never played so important a part in the Grand Army of the Republic as is popularly believed outside the organization. We have noi kept up the cry of ‘more pensions.’ There has not been a continued grabbing. “There are in the Grand Army, as there are in all organizations, men whose cu- pidity is their strongest characteristic, and who are willing to wring the last cent Possible out of the government. But such members are few. In our encampments year after year the demand for a service pension was voted down; year after year every effort to make “an official demand for outrageous pensions has been crushed. G. A. R. Men Ask Only Justice. “The members of the Grand Army are not seeking gratuities, but justice. The soldier is not a beggar. He regards the pension roll as a roll of honor. He, more than any one else, is interested in ma! taining its purity. The Grand Army be- eves that no one should receive a pen- sion who is not suffering from actual dis- ability. Some of the ablest men in the or- ganization are opposed to pensions alto- gether except in cases of total disabiliy, and they have never hesitated to speak their minds openly. “Of course I have noticed that the amount expended in pensions has increas- ed from year to year, but I explained it in my own mind by saying that increasing years made it impossible for many men who have hitherto. supported themselves to make a living, and that they were thete+ fore compelled to apply for a pension. That wholesale frauds have been com- mitted, and that the pension fund was be- ing robbed right and left, never occurred to me, and I am sure that it was never ac- cepted by other members of the organiza- tion. My little experience in securing pen- sions for men whom I knew to be deserv- ing went far toward convincing me that the roll was safeguarded with red tape rather more than is necessary Too Many “Survivors. “Whether there is fraud or not I do not know. Statements and figures to which my attention has been drawn seem to be stamped with truth, yet they are so start- ling as to be almost increditabie. I cannot accept the statement that there are 40,745 more ‘survivors’ and ‘widows’ dra peusions than ‘there are actual sur’ : und widows of the wer, This indicates a State of affairs beyond belief. Still, I can- not combat the assertion. I have been so impressed with what appears to be an ar- ray of proof that I have begun a thorough and searching investigation on my own ac- count. _"E purpose finding out the actual condi- tion of affairs, not tor my own satisfaction, but for the benefit of the organization. If my investigation shows that there is any- thing like the ‘padding’ in the pension roll that is claimed, I shall lay the matter be- fore the executive committee, and the or- ganization will take emphatic action. Strike the Frauds Of. “If there is a single person on the pen- sion roll whose name does not belong there the Grand Army of the Republic wanis it stricken off. As an organization it can stand up and say: ‘Cut off every person who is drawing a pension without deserv- ing it.” I am sure that if the rolis are purged of the fraud said to be on them the Grand Army will not suffer in the least, “The number of survivors should be fat fewer now than at the close of the war. The veterars are dying fast. And then the great number of men who passed through the war and have never applied for pen- sions should be considered. For instance, I have never applied for a pension, nor have any of the members of my staff, al- though nearly all of them are entitled to he placed on the rolls. I am very certain that more than 10 per cent of the members ot the Grand Army have never applied for rensions. “Iam sure that the publication of the pension rolls would meet with no opposi- tion on the part of the Grand Army, even though it should show that there is fraud. If the publication will do any good, if it will result In the detection of the unworthy and the striking of their names from the roli and the punishment of the guilty, I believe that the Grand Army would advo- cate the pubtication.” Roast Shoat and Dyspepsia in Mis- sourt.
