ISPORTS OF THE DAY Current Notes of the Doings of Whist Clubs. BOWLING ONG. AC. ALLEYS A Base Ball Deal Hatching in Phila- delphia. MAHER AND JACKSON eee The Washington Club met at the Cairo Tuesday night. Seven teams of four par- ticipated. The contest was played on the Howell system for teams of four. The game was the best exhibition of team play that the club has had, and not only was there a mutual understanding of partners, but the play was marked throughout the evening as of a very high order. If the first and second teams keep up the play of Tuesday night in their practice matches preparatory to their match with Balti- more, McCay’s team will find the hardest game they have encountered this season. Monday night was ladies’ night at the Baltimore Whist Club, and fifty-two play- ers were present, and the play was very fine at most of the tables. The ladies have shown marked improvement and there were many surprises in the final score. The game between the Bostons and the Baltimores for the A. W. L. trophy will take place next Saturday, and although Work concedes a victory for Baltimore by ten tricks, it is hard to find out upon what he bases his conclusions. He ought to be as familiar with the play of each player as any man in the country, but there is an element of luck which he must allow for. Take board 19 in the last match, in which McCay, by an atrocious play, gained three tricks. The full play is given to show the element of luck, and to show how absurd is the ironclad rule of return- ing the lowest of four when winning the trick in your partner's suit.

At trick 2, N. is marked with the single K. or Q. .. unless he is calling for trumps.

The hand given is distinctly one in which a call should not be made, How a Rabbit Stopped Family Prayers From the January Outing. “One Sunday we were all at regular fami- ly prayers. A sporting friend was visiting me, and he and I knelt, facing a low win- dow with our elbows upon the sill. And from round a corner, lo, there came up on us a coney, and he reared up not two yards from us, and he harkened unto the pray- and he winked his nose at us, till my friend forgot himself, and exclaimed, ‘We kin catch that devil!’ I threw up the win- dow so hard that I cracked a pane, and out we leaped in red-hot chase. And the dear old arehdeacon almost burst trying not to laugh, for he had seen the rabbit, and was . keen sportsman withal. We ran that rabbit across four two-acre lots as hard as we could split, and at last we got him into deep snow, where he gave up and was captured alive.

From the London Med The recent restoration of sight to Julie Duplessis, 2 Parisienne, twenty years old, who has been blind since birth because of a double cataract, has disclosed some phases of the development of sight that are arousing great interest in the scientific world. Tue operation was performed two weeks ago, but as yet the young woman has not gained complete power of vision. Fer an hour after the overation she could see nothing, apd when objects did begin to take some form she suffered great pain in the head. It wes similar, she said, to that which might be caused by striking her eyes. This continued for three days, during most of which she was obliged to keep her eyes closed. In about a week, when she could distinguish with much accuracy the ferm of objects, experiments were made with her in their naming. Depending only upon sight, she would mistake, fur in- 1 Review. | stance, a cat for a dog, a pencil for a key and a feather duster for a bunch of chrys- anthemums. Once, too, she was wholly unable to see that a canary was a bird, when it was held before her, but was quick to name it, when it had been put in a cage. She knew all these objects by touch. An- other highly interesting point was the girl's appreciation, or lack of appreciation, of distance. In this phase, as indeed in some of the otners, the process of develop- ment was not unlike that gone through by the ordinary infant. She wouid reach for an object placed close to her face, as though it were several feet away, and would, of course, attempt to touch objects actually far beyond reach. While blind she hed no difficulty in walking; now the floo appears to be a steep irct nd she Ste} very high.

From the St. Louis Dispat The latest freak of the treacherous Mis- souri river is to remoye an entire farm 80 acres from Boone ounty, on the nor side of the river, to Cole county, on t south side. The farm was owned by Murphy, of Ashland, and cated near the town of Wilton. By a chan, in the current of the river the land was ¢ away and re-tormed in Cole county, ne Marion. Here George M. Butcher claimed the land on that it was land ac- creted, or made to the land he owned on in dispute by rea: the river bank on the Cole-county side the river, and as the newly-made land ad- vanced out from his original bank, his pos- session followed, and covered the newl. made land, hence his possession was first or prior in time that of Murphy. Murphy brought suit for the land’ and was yester- day awarded it. ———___+02--___. About Prom: t Men.

It is rumored that a base ball deal is on between Boston and Philadelphia, and be- fore it is consummated Chicago and even ri | Louisville may get a finger in the pie, says the Philadelphia Press. Manager Frank Selee of the Boston club arrived in Philadelphia Wednesday night, going there, it is said, on the invitation of President Reach of the Philadelphia Ball Club. The Boston magnate is stopping at the Hotel Hanover and gave orders last night that he was to be disturbed by no one. A Press representative called upon Mr. Selee at his hotel, but the base ball man abso- lutely refused to talk. Before retiring Mr. Selee sent a telegram to James Hart, president of the Chicago Ball Club. A base ball crank who haunts the corridors of the hotel saw the message and says it was as follows: “Tell Dr. Stuckey all will be well and not to worry.” Whether this refers to a_four-cornered deal in which the Phillies, Boston, Louts- ville and Chicago will figure or whether it has reference to Brush’s reported ac- quisition of the St. Louis club is not known. At any rate, it is a certainty that a base ball hen is on and just what she will hatch can only be conjectured.

Manager Hanlon had the Temple Cup boxed up and shipped to Mr. Temple in Pittsburg last Tuesday, and this closes the matter. The deal at St. Louis is still hanging fire. If Mr. Brush is successful in his negotia- tions, the mound city franchise will prob- ably be turned over to the Indianapolis the- atrical firm, Dickson & Talbert. With Mr. Anson in charge of the team, it surely would prove a money maker. President Young left Philadelphia yester- day for Brooklyn to attend the funeral of Charles Byrne in that city today. The Wagner brothers accompanied him, and Manager Hanlon joined the trio at the Broad street station. Conference Between Base Ball Men. CHICAGO, January 6.—President Ban B. Johnson of the Western Base Ball League announces that a conference of the Eastern and Western League representatives would be held at the Hotel Iroquois, Buffalo, on Monday, January 17, for the purpose of dis- cussing the proposed amendments to the national agreement. Other matters of mu- tual interest will come up and drafting of rules will be talked over. BOWLING. The South Washington Business Men’s Bowling Club visited the alleys of the Cc. A. C. last evening and were rewarded for the trip by capturing one of the three games rolled. Stitt of Columbia is still ovt of condition, and Harmon of last year’s team bowled in his stead, and succeeded in bowling the best average for his side. Difficult spares of 5-6-10 by Mason and 3-6-7-8-10 by Scanlon marked the evening's play. Dr. Ricker’s 193 game stood for highest single score. Columbia bowled poorly in the opentug game, making one of the lowest team totals ever made by them on the home alleys. Schlesinger’s game of 184 had much to do with the Business Men’s victory.

Printing Office Team Defeated by the Corcoran Cadets. The Corcoran Cadet basket ball team de- feated the government printing office team, both of the national league, at the Carroll Institute last night. Two halves of fifteen minutes each were played, the score stand- ing at the close of the last half 6 to 1 in favor of the cadets. The game was marked by some clever passing and some good team work, in which the soldier boys excelled. The line-up: G. 0. P. Positions. ccc. Pearson.... R. F. Maxwell. L. F. Mangan.... Dougherty L.

The National Basket Ball League adopt- ed a new schedule of games at a meeting held last night at the Carroll Institute. The new schedule was made necessary by the election to the league of a team rep- resenting the Interior Department. The schedule extends from January 7 to May 4, inclusive. Center . --Guista Cornell's Rowing Policy. Coach Courtney and Capt. Colson of the Corneli "Varsity crew say that the work of training crews will begin Monday. In all probability Tom Hall, one of Corneii’s well-known oarsmen, will assist before the spring work begins. Prof. E. W. Huffeutt, president of the athletic council, says: “It is probable that the athletic council will decide definitely upon the Cornell rowing policy at a meeting to be held within the week. Delay has been due simply to the fact that Cornell has been obliged to ar- range, if possible, for races with two dif- ferent groups, namely, Pennsylvania and Colun:bia on ‘the cne’ side, and Harvard and Yale on the other.” Racing Dates for 1898.

Jockey Burns Offered $10,000, John Huggins, trainer for the Lorillard- Beresford string of horses, who has been in New Orleans for several days, offered $19,000 to Tommy Burns, the crack licht- weight jockey, to ride his horses in Eng- land next season. The offer was made through Starter Chris Fitzgerald. Burns, who is under contract to ride for John Schorr of Memphis the coming season, de- clines to leave this country. He says he desires to shine in the east, and will prob- ably ride on the New York tracks late in the summ: DROPPED HIS Then He Was Treed All Night by a Wounded Moose. From the New York World. Jobn Marshall of Mirncapolis, out hunting in the wilds of Itasca county, left camp the other dey for the railroad station sev- eral miles away. Suddenly there was a crash in the bashes near him and a two- thirds grown bull moose broke cover. Mar- shall’s rifle went to his shoulder and three big bullets were planted in the body of the moose, whose black mane bristled with anger and whose bellowings resounded through the forest. Wounded as he was, the moose charged and Marshall fled to a small tree. As he began to climb the moose was at his heels, and before the hunter was out of reach the maddened animal was striking savagely at him with its antlers. As Marshall climbed higher and bigher the animal began bat- tering at the trunk with @ force that threatened to soon bring it down. Ail Mar- shall could do was to cling on with both hands and pray that the animal might drop dead. Finally the animal ceased his efforts, but laid siege to the man in the tree. Marshall had his rifle. In his haste to get at his cartridge pouch he broke the strap and the pouch fell to the ground. There was nothing to be done except wait. The day Waued and night fell, but the siege was not raised. During the long hours of the night Mar- shall almost froze, and several times was on the point of sliding out of the tree and mixing with the moose, but at every move he made the animal would assume such a threatening attitude that the hunter de- cided he had better freeze than be cut to picces. Early in the morning the moose walked away from the tree a short distance, and Marshall, dropping to the ground, secured half a dozen cartridges, which he slipped into his rifle. The moose now made a charge, but fell dead with a bullet in his heart. Finding his way back to camp, Mr. Marshall told his story to his companions. They at once set out for the moose, but on reaching the carcass found that the wolves had so torn and mangied the body thet it was worth- less, and Marshall had to content himself with bringing away the head, bearing a splendid pair of antlers. 20+ A Woman's Watch. From the Philadelphia Times. They were sipping chocolate at @ down- town fashionable cafe and talking of watches, And this is what was said: “I have carried my watch for ten years,” said the senior member of the party, “and it has never cost me a penny for repairs.” “Mercy!” exclaimed another one. “How did you manage it?” “I took care of it. You know, men are always making disagreeable remarks about women’s watches, and when my husband gave me mine he said it would probatiy be out of order most of the time. And I just made up my mind to show him there was one woman t the wcrid who knew how to take care of a watch.” “But have you never lost it or had it stolen?” “Never; I dropped it several times at first, but it did not show any marks.” aeee do the works never get out of ore » “The what?” “The works inside. broken the mainspring’ never looked inside.” on how do you wind it?” “I don’t wind it. That's how I take care of it and keep It nice.” They all stared for a moment. Then they said: “Oh,
