DEFEAT OF SAENGERBOND BOWLERS Weights Announced for the Wash- ington Handicap. ble u LOCAL NINEPIN TOURNAMENT A protracted meeting of the National Board of Arbitration of the National League of Base Ball Clubs was held yes- terday in St. Louts, and a number of cases were disposed of before final adjournment. It was rumored while the meeting was be- ing held behind closed doors that it had taken upon itself the selection of a new member to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Charles H. Byrne of Brooklyn, and had chosen Al Reach of Philadelphia. This was later found to be untrue, as only the National League has such authority. As it is the duty of the board to hear and determine all disputes and complaints be- tween association clubs and its members, the business passed upon was of that na- ture. President N. E. Young presided and there were present A. H. Soden of Boston, F. De Haas Robinson of Cleveland, J. A. Hart of Chicago, and Jobn T. Brush of Cincinnati. The petition of Harry Berte for release from the Quincy club was dismissed. The Western League had accepted the services of the disbanded Quincy club mem- bers and transferred the club to Ottumwa. This action was ratified. J. C, Herndon’s petition for release from reservation by the Reading (Pa.) club was granted, and the petition of W. F. McFar- land for release from reservation by the Norfolk club was denied, as no evidence was presented to show that the president of the latter club had agreed to exempt him from reservation. A request of President Powers of the Eastern League for permission to hold ex- hibition games in National League territory prior and subsequent to the regular season was presented. It was decided that the clubs of a minor league had no right to play games in the territory of the major league without permission of the latter. The claim of the Lancaster club for Han- nivan, who was reserved by Brooklyn and traded to Rochester, was dismissed, as was also the claim of W. F. Hutchinson against the St. Louis club for two days’ salary. The board found no evidence to show that the St. Louis management had agreed to pay Hutchinson the salary claimed by him. The Atlantic League was ordered to pay by May 15, 1888, whatever is due players Fox and McVeagh and any other players to whom it has become indebted by reason of assuming the liabilities of the Athletic club. All the correspondence had to date be- tween the Cleveland and Milwaukee clubs and Player Bert Jones, whom the major league team had purchased, along with the agreement was read. Action on the matter was deferred for future develop- ments as to Jones’ playing ability. On motion, it decided that the money advanced by Ted Sullivan to start the New Jersey State League should be refunded, and it was so ordered. President H C. Pulliam of Louisville an- nounces that he has been requested by the Hopper Distilling Company of that city to look into the affairs of the St. Louts club, with the idea of purchasing the franchise and team. if everything 1s favorable. DROPPE:! ee our $4.73 Saengerbund Bowlers Beaten by Busi- ness Men's Team. Accompanied by a loyal contingent of bowling enthusiasts, the Saengerbund team went to the alieys of the South Washing: ton Business Men's Bowling Club last night, bent on capturing all of the games, and thereby clinching their hold on first position In the District Bowling League. Instead of doing this, however, they learned several points as to how the game really should be played from the league baby, t.e tailenders, and the mighty Saengers dropped for the first time this season in competition with other league teams toree successive games. The Business Men put up by Iong odds the best series of games yet rolled by them, and had they ‘played ae own terms of payment. A Wonderful Opportunity for Buying Furniture. The uttermost depth of lowness in prices has been reached by-us this week. When we started our great Clearance Sale we did not realize what an undertaking we had, nor what ef- forts would be necessary to accomplish our purpose. fully realize it now, but will not swerve. We have made prices lower than ever in order to force the sale of the goods. Long years as we have been in the furniture business, we have never before known such values given. We handle everything that the house needs, Furniture, Carpets, Baby Carriages, Housefur- brac, and on everything has the price reduction fallen. eerlier in the season in the form they ate now showing would have cut considerable figure in the championship hustle. The result of the games last night adds much to the interest in the contest for su- premacy between the Saengerbund and Carroll Institute teams, both now having won and lost the same number of games. Each team has yet nine games to play, both having six at home. The Carrolls have the slight disadvantage of bowling the only games they have to play off their own alleys at the Saengerbund. and that one feature alone is likely to play an impor- tant part in the contest. Shlesinger did fine work last night, bowl- ing two fine games, having 213 for high- st single game and leading both teams with the good average of 188. He was well followed by Fuller, who averaged 177. The first game was a decidedly interest- ing contest, as the margin between the two teams was very small throughout. The home club secured the slight lead of three pins in the opening frame. holding it vy the game number of pins in the third. The Sdcngers went ahead in the sixth, but fell off from that point, and were beaten by forty-three pins. ore follews: We SAENGERBUND, . . ~ re é nishings, even Cutlery, Glassware, Kitchen Ware and Bric-a- 3 ‘ 3 Re- member, too, that we are still giving CREDIT—we will wi 3 85 pins to lingly charge your purchases and ailow you to arrange your eS ee ) the result was a walk- he home team, as the Germans constantly throughout the rest of ntest.

The memories of the conflict between the Monitor and the Merrimec are being lived over again at the pension offi¢e. In the little fountain on the main floor models of the two famous war ships are chasing each other. But there is never a clash, and the towering palms that fringe the basin breathe peace, while the old veterans eit ebout and discuss the great 1aval battle which many think saved the Union.

The feature of the sports was the relay race between Pennsylvania and Harvard, which the Quakers won by fifty yards. W. G. Stuart of the Central High School of this city won the one-mile handicap run from a field of twenty starters in 4:41. He started third from scratch and kept behind the bunch in the three-quarter mark. Then he closed in om the field, and in the second lap from the finish took the lead and was never headed, finishing fast and easy fifteen yards ahead of the next nearest man. C. D.

TO EXAME ALASKA. and Geodetic Sar- Plans of the Co: Government work in the way of reducing to record the channels, anchorages, har- bors, navigable water bodies and other im- pertant features of geography in Alaska will be carried on th mmer and expe- d'ted as rapidly as pcssible. Soperintendent Pritchett of the coast and geodetic s has completed the plans for the se Alaska. When the season opens Lieut. Helm, with the coast survey steamer Ged- ney and a steam Jaunch will begin work in Cook's inlet. As the ice leaves the vicinity of the mouth of the Yukon river a search will be made for anchorages ani harbors south of the delta and for a channel into the Kusilvak slough. This feature of the field campaign is of the greatest importance to navigation, as at present vessels enter- ing the Yuken have to follow a channel running in from a point many miles north of the delta. The government experts, how- ever, expect to find an easy and direct en- trance to the Yukon. If these anchorages and harbors are found as anticipated, inmedhate publicity will be given to the fact, so that navigators may take advantage of them during the com- ing season. Meantime a large launch will be taken in sections to St. Michael's Island, at the mouth of the n, to be set up there in charge of Mr. Pratt, and a survey will be made of the region from Cape Dyer to St. Michaels, extending in- land throvgh the various sloughs to the head of the delta. ‘The two parties will make a comprehensive survey of the shoais lying off the river's mouth. Every effort will be made to collect material for such # chart as the growing imporiance of the great river demands. i The lower portion of the Copper river, now becoming prominent through extensive gold discoveries, will be investigated and the practicability of its navigation definite- ly_determined. Other parties will make detailed examina- tions of the Chilkat, Dyea and Skaguay passes. A NOVEL DIVORCE CASE. Last Century Romance Uncarthed In Old Court Record.
