Infofmation reached here yesterday that Carl Pirtle, thirteen years old, who dis- appeared the afternoon of March 6, is in custody at Jacksonville, Fla. His father, Mr. Charles H. Pirtle, who lives at No. 118 lvth street northeast, has arranged for his return home. Mr. Pirtle was superintendent of the Senate document room for some time, having come here from Lincoln, Neb. The boy attended the Maury schoo!, and the day of his disappearance he left the school at 3 o'clock. He had saved about $5, his mother acting as his banker. This money he took with him. Previous to leaving the boy questicned his mother about the dis- tance to Jacksonville, saying he wanted the information for his teacher. When the police were asked to look out for the boy it was believed he had started for Nebraska to visit relatives and the lat- ter were communteated with. Relatives in Richmond were also advised of his disap- pearance. The boy's statement ts that he was in- duced to go to Florida by another boy, who sald he could get work in his unc’e’s store at $1.25 a day. He called on the police at Jacksonville when his money was gone and said he was tired of tramping. The boy told }. ‘the police of his experiences on freight cars and at towns where he and his companion stopped. At Charlotte, N. C., Carl imagined that the police had been asked to arrest him and he managed to keep out of their way. He will probably reach home to- morrow. —_——_— IN CHESS CIRCLES. Capt. O'Farrell of the iater-city telegraph matches on Memorial day has called a meeting for March 20 at the rooms of the Washington Club, to arrange the details of that matter, in time to report to board of managers In New York on the occasion of the cabie match. The match for the checker championship of the District between Messrs. Farquhar and Potts was won by the former, 9 to 2, with nine drawn games. Mr. R. M. Haines of the executive com- mittee of the Iowa State Association was a visitor to the club during the past week. The annual cable match between this country and Englang is now close upon us, March 23 and 24 being the dates of that interesting event. Since the publication of the names of this year’s selection, nothing but satisfaction has been expressed thereat. If there is a loose screw in the combination it will take the event to prove it. The Eng- lish team consists of H. E. Atkins, G. E. H. Leliingbam, J. H. Blackburne, E.’M. Jack- son, H. Jaeobs, F. F. Lawrence, F. J. Lee, Db. ¥. Mills, H. W. Trenchard and W. Ward, Mr. Ward. who replaces Mr. Burn, is a member of the City of London Club and ap- pears to be in just about the same class with Mr. Lawrence, both being in the cur- rent tourney of that organization and run- ning neck and neck. Mr. Burn has hitherto been looked on as the second of the English players, but in a current match with Mr. Bellingham the score is against him 4 to 1, with one drawn. No reason is stated why he refuses to play this year. A vigorously conducted Ruy Lopes, from the semi-final of the second or auxiliary tournament of the Pillsbury Association, is the following, won by R. A. Bachia of Brooklyn from J. C.

IN EASTERN LEAGUE Burns’ Springfield°Team Will Prot- ably Coitie Here, PLAYERS WHO WILECOMPOSE THE CLUB How the Clubs’ Ate Strengthening the"New Yorks. CURRENT SPORTING NEWS ———_ ‘The probable settlement of the contro- versy between the National and American leagues over the placing of a club in Chi- cago contrary to the national agreement takes Washington out of the visionary American Association and makes it a mem- ber of the Eastern League. There was from the first only a retaliatory. motive in launching the American Association and the magnates seemed to be at sea as to Its actual organization. J, Earl Wagner ad- mitted that he had come to Washington at the request of the National League com- mittee, and that he knew little about what was intended. Mr. Wagner denied the western story that he was to be the agent of sthe I¢ague in Washington, but the gen- eral look of affairs p!aced him in that position. Mr. Wagner went to his Phila- delphia home Saturday with the under- standing that he would return to Washing- ton today. Up to the noon hour he had not put in an appearance, but he may ar- rive later in the day. A majority of the local base ball enthu- siasts will doubtless deplore the fact that the proposed association under the control of the league has dropped out of the run- ning, but an Eastern ague club should be just as strong in every particular. The Parent body cannot take care of the 200 players who have worked thelr way up out of the minor leagues, and these men will naturally drift into the Eastern and West- rn leagues, and form as strong a body as the association, for it was these players that the latter expected to employ. Presi- dent Powers has already registered re- quests for several players under the reser- vation of the different clubs in the Na- tional League, and as the situation crystal- izes for the coming season these requests will be very numerous, The clubs in class A minor leagues, the Eeastern and West- ern (or American, as it is now styled), are quite strong already, but with the addi- tionat talent at thelr command a strong aggregation of ball players can be whipped into shape for the two organizations. The Proposed Washington Team. Manager Burns of the Springfield club has been heralded as the man to be placed in charge of the Washington club the coming sezson, and Manager Barnie of the Hart- ford club, will go to Baltimore. Manager Burns had charge of the Chicagos last sea- sen, and is considered an able judge of a player's ability. Should Manager Burns be finally located in this city it is a foregone conclusion that not more than two or three of last year's Springfield team will come with him, and that players like Padden, Hoy, Powers, Brodie, Holmes and Anderson may join the club, thereby making the ar- ticle of ball on exhibition of quite a high grade. Players like the oncs mentioned are just a shade under the first grade and must be taken care of, and as they drift into the class A clubs the younger members thereof will be pushed back into the class B_ organizations. Next season everything will right itself in the base ball world. The Quinn-Richter new American Association now has five clubs organized, and between this time and next season it :will gather in the other three clubs and be ready to battle with the National League., This year the play- ers will suffer to a certain extent, but their time is coming, and they will once more be Placed in the positiomof being the greatest attraction, of the game, Strengthening the Giants. Nothing new has cropped up within the Past twenty-four hours In the New York situation. Mr. Freedman has doubtless thrown overboard his promises tg ‘make the Giants a strong aggregation next sea- son and awaits the action of his brother magnates. He will not put up a cent to strengthen the New York club, and he will not need to. Already the Boston club has come to his assistance by “loaning” Hickman and Fris- bee, either one being better than Slagle, over whom he is raising such a fuss, while Mr. Brush fs credited with also “loaning” Twirler Hawley and Fielder Selbach. These Players should make the New York team quite strong, but other good players will probably be given to Freedman and‘a for- midable club finally rounded up. The league magnates should go slow in this “‘loaning’’ business. Last season there was quite a how! over syndicate ball, but that involved only two clubs, while the Preserit loaning business will apparently take in “the entire organization. ~Hippo- droming will never do in base ball, and it seems foolhardy for the National League to create material for the coming opposi- tion by “booming” the New York club. Pitcher Case Patten, who was obtained by the Cincinnat! club last season and then ‘farmed’ out to the Kansas Clty club has been recalled to the Reds by Manager Al- len. Patten’s work in the Western League last season was sensational, and Manager Allen concluded that Cincinnati wanted him quite badly. With Brettenstein, Hahn and Patten the Reds have quite an array of southpaws. The Cincinnati outfield next season will probably be McBride, Barrett and Crawford, with Elmer Smith as utility flelder. Sei- bach was never considered, and Smith's work last season was disappointing in the way of batting. There ts a great deal of unknown talent in the Reds, and {t would be just like Manager Allen to surprise the pene pe world by making a winner out of is club. PEACE ASSURED. National and American Leagues Reach Agreement About Chicago. American League base ball owners at Chicago made an amicable arrangement Saturday with James A. Hart of the Chi- cago League club, for a club of the Ameri- can League in Chicago, and passed the en- tire deal up to the’ powers of the National League for approval. The talk of starting an American Associa- thon by the Nattorial League has accord- ingly ceased. The.plan by which the ne- tional agreement is to:be preserved provides for the purchase of: the old base ball grounds at Cleveland by Kilfoyl and Somers at a price said, to be $10,000. Hart insisted on the deal for the Cleve- Jand grounds, and when it was agreed to he immediately sent telegrams to the other big league owners. The American League adjourned after placing full power of con- cluding the d in ‘the. hands of Prest- dent Ban B. J mn, but there was still a chance that the deal would not go through. Mr. Kilfoyl, thet :Cleweland ‘representative, was unable to say whether he and his partner, Mr. Somers, would take the old grounds in Cleveland, which the Robison brothers formerty ; The new Cleve- Jand owners tried to buy out the Robisons, but — turned down end engaged another par a The American League adjourned, subject to call, and will probably be summoned again In the latter of the week to take action on a schedule!

The vote on invading Chicago regardless of an arrangement with the major league was seven to one in favor of war. There was, however, hope of a peaceful settlement. The circuit of the American League will not inelude Louisville. It was found that Saulpaugh is not in a position to dispose of the Minneapolis club and that city will be The circuit will be Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Kansas City, Chicago, Indian- apolis, Detroit, Buffalo and Cleveland.

In this connection ft {fs stated that the club has rebuilt the steeplechase course so as to conform to'the requirements of the rules of the National Steeplechase Associa- tion. These rules require at least six fences in every mile of the course; that the water jump shall be at least twelve feet wide and two feet deep, and guarded by a fence not less than two feet in perpendicular height; that there shall be in each course at least two ditches not less than five feet wide and two feet deep, guarded on the take-off side by a single rail and on the landing side a fence not less than four feet six inches in height, and, if of brushwood or gorse, not less than three feet in width. The minimum perpendicular height of all other jumps shall be not less than four feet six inches. This stiffening of the jumps at the Benning course will make the races over them all the more eons and interesting, thus in- suring the best of sport. Notwithstanding the fact that the heavy snowfall of .last week greatly interfered with the work of preparing the horses at the local track, the work is now go!ng on, arid the great majority will be ready on the opening day of the meeting, Monday, April 2.
