POWERS PLEASED WITH CIRCUIT Promises as Good Ball as Has Been Seen in the Past. : SPORTING NEWS. CURRE 1 Dispateh to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, March 22.—When the East- ern League assembles this afternoon in the Fifth Avenue Hotel it will be with Wash- ington and Baltimore as members of the organization. It has been decided that these cities shall become Eastern League territory for the time being, and Pat Powers, the president of the organization, feels that he will have a circuit for the coming year that will be strong and a money maker, The clubs are paired off very well. There are two good cities in Canada—Toronto and —_ Montreal—with Rochester and Syracuse in New York, Bal- timore and Washington in the southern sec- tion and Worcester and Providence in New England. All of these cities have done well in the past, and the standard of ball maintained” has been excellent. It is be- lieved that the accession of Baltimore and Washington to the circuit will give the sport a lively boom through all the cities composing it. Hartford and Springfield have, of course, dropped out. This means in all probability that the interests of the Washington club will be looked after by ‘Tom Burns, former manager of the Chicago team. Presfdent Powers was asked what ar- rangement had been made in regard to players for Washington. “I can't go into all the detail,” said he, “because !t would disclose some plans that must necessarily be kept secret for a time. I will say this: That the Washington club will haye some excellent players, and I think we shall be able to show Washington enthusiasts just as good and just as exciting ball as has been seen in the past, if our arrangements go through as planned. There will be plenty of players on the market, and the tern League will have its share of the best. We have received assurances to that effect.” .At today’s meeting it is expected that the club owners In the league will discu all the ways and means in regard to Wash- ington and Baltimore. President Powers has everything so well along that he will probably be able to offer the delegates a schedule before the meeting adjourns. Will Not Go to St. Louis, John J. McGraw and Wilbert Robinson are very much annoyed by the persistent state- ments in the papers that they will weaken in their determination not to go to St. Louis and make a graceful retreat from the posi tion they have-taken in the matter. Me- Graw said yesterday: “L wish you would say for me that we are not going to St. Louis. We will play in New York or Philadelphia if the league will make arrangements to that effect, but we positively will not go to St. Louis. “We have had no conyersation with Pres- ident Frank Robison of the St. Louis club, on the subject except this: When he came here some days ago and met us at Mr. Hanlon’s house he asked us if we would go and we said we would not. Mr. Robison then asked us not to make a final decision at that time, but to think it over during the night and méet him at the Hotel Rennert next day. We did think it over and came to no different conclusion, so we sent a note to Mr. Robison the next day saying that It would be useless to confer with him again, as our resolution could not be shaken. That was the extent of our nego- tiations with Mr. Robison, and all state- ments to the effect that we are going with him are false.” Brooklyn Club's Bargain Counter. Col. John I. Rogers of the Philadelphia Base Ball Club has received the names of eleven players from the Brooklyn club, any of whom the Brooklyn management will re- lease to the Philadelphia club at a price to be agreed upon. These are Hill, Yeager, Donovan, Harris, Anderson, Crisham, La- Chance, Fultz, Smith, Brodie and McKen- na. No price was set on any player. Col. Rogers sent the list to Manager Shettsline at Charlotte, N. C., where the team is training. HIGH SCHOOL BASE BALL. Candidates for the Central Team Had First Practice Yenterday. Preparations at the Central High School for the coming base ball season have be- gun. Training has been considerably re- tarded by the unseasonable weather, but the sunshine of the past two days has made practice possible. The first regular practice by candidates for the Central team was taken yesterday, when aspirants for the battery and infleld positions were tested. They included Cap- tain Stakely, W. C. Shepard, Jacobsen and Warman from last year's team, and Tay- lor, Eastman, Pritchett, Chase, Tindall, Troup, L. G. Shepard, Clemens, Buell and Yoder, new candidates. Beside these Brush and Purcell from the team of "#0 and Mayer, Duryee, Brown, Bristol and Young will try for outfield po- sitions, It is intended to give the team practice every school day on the school grounds, and the use of the Georgetown College campus has been obtained for Saturday mornings. For the present the infield and outfield candidates will be trained in prac- tically two squads, and after awhile two teams, will be selected from among all the player The eason {s scheduled to open a week turday, Mareh when a trip aken to College statien, Md., for a game with the Maryland Agricultural Col- le The following Saturday, April 7, the team will go to , Md., to play Rock Hill College.

OLSEN DEFEATS ROEBER. Former's Weight Too Much for the Latter's Strength and Skill, Bech Olsen, who already carries the wrest- ling championship of Denmark and Ger- many in his belt, added a new scalp to his string at the Madison Square Garden, New York, last night, when he made quick work of Ernest Roeber, erstwhile champion of America. The betting stood 3 to 1 in favor of the foreigner before the match, his greater weight being considered too much of a handicap for Roeber's known skill to overcome. Roeber won the first bout, scoring a fall in 23 minutes and 25 seconds. In the sec- ond bout Olsen, after a terrific struggle, threw Roeber to the floor. He was carried in a fainting condition to his corner, and the doctors refused to permit him to con- tinue. The third bout went to Olsen by default. Olsen looked big enough to eat Roeber. Bob Fitzsimmons was one of Roeber’s sec. onds. The men shook hands at 9:50 o'clock. Olsen appeared to be very nervous. The Dane secured a wrist hold, which Roeber broke In twenty seconds. Both then se- cured wrist locks, but neither held on for more than a minute. Roeber finally got a strangle hold, and with a back lock threw Olsen to the floor on all fours. Then Roe- ber tried to get a half Nelson, but failed, as the big fellow sprang to his feet. After some fiddling Roeber dropped to the mat purposely. Olsen secured a three-quarter Nelson on Roeber, but Ernest broke away Roeber then floored from it by spinning. iWhatdo we mean by “Hour Sales?” Can it be possible that there is a single man or woman who dees not understand that every Friday this store, beginning at 9 o’clock in the morn- ¢ ing (and sometimes at 8), starts the selling of merchandise considerably less than actual. value for 60 minutes at a clip?

With the Dane again on the mat Roeber winked at his seconds and smiled confi- dently. His carelessness caused him to very nearly fall into a strangle hold, out of which he spun. Roeber’s hands became dyed with the blood which fiowed from the Dane's nose, and he repeatedly wiped them on the mat so that he might get a good hold. Roeber attained an arm and neck hold, which pinned Olsen with right skoulder and hip to the floor. There seemed to be no escape for’ the big fellow, as Roe- ber, still maintaining his hold, repeatedly jumped a foot into the air, landing each time on the Dane's ody and left shoulder with terrific force. Olsen broke the hold only to fall a victim on the other side, Roeber securing a half Nelson, which slow. ly but surely forced the bigger man to succumb, and Roeber gained the first fall in 24 minutes 25 seconds. Roeber left the. ring for a rub down during the ten-minute: intermission, but Ol- sen remained in the ring and was attended to there by his seconds. Opening the second round the preliminary ‘play was brief. Olsenatiempted to gain 2 neck lock, which Roeber easily evaded. The Dane gained a neck ‘lock, which Roeber successfully broke, and Olsen followed with an arm and neck ‘hold, which put Roeber in jeopardy. The German was being slow- ly pushed over, the Dane bearing down on him, but to the surprise of the Dane's fol- lowers Roeber wriggled out of the hold. Roeber then took the offensive, making re- peated efforts to get a body hold on the big man so as to throw him down, and he was finally successful. He secured one arm hold, and tried to get a half Nelson on the right side. The Dane worked himself out of the difficulty and took up the work. This did not last moré than five seconds, as Roeber suddenly jumped for his man and endeavored to obtain a neck hold to throw the Dane over his head from his shoulder. The Dane came right back, and after grappling the German with a front body hold picked Roeber up and threw him on his back to the floor with great force. The Dane then fell on top of his man with his full weight and, having the right shoulder pinned, it became but a question of a few when Roeber should succumb.

Roeber lay on his back and had to be carried in a limp condition to his corner, where two -doctors were summoned to at- tend the German, who seemed to be in- jured severely. Roeber claimed to have sustained a frac- tured rib on the right side. The doctors who examined him said that he might be internally injured, but that no ribs were broken. They refused to permit him to con- tinue the bout. Olsen was therefore de- clared the winner, while Roeber sat in his corner crying like a child. Bob Fitzsimmons then jumped into the ting and, while admitting Roeber’s defeat, challenged the Dane on behalf of the Ger- man for another match for $1,000. Time, 14 RACING STEWARDS UPHELD. An Important Decision Rendered De- fining Their Authority. At St. Louis yesterday the application of Willis S. Cassidy, the St. Louis millionatre turfman, for an order restraining the St. Louis Fair Association and its board of stewards from enforcing the ruling deny- ing him admission to its club house and grounds during the season of 1899, was de- nied by Judge Taity of the St. Louis cir- cuit court. Mr. Cassidy was ruled off the track for transgressing the American rac- ing rules by making bets on behalf of jockeys. The decision is of great impor- tance to racing men and lovers of sport. It settles a question which has been widely debated in racing circles, and indicates just how far a board of stewards may go in the regulation of the racing on and the at- tendance at its courses. The case is similar to one in which Rfley Grannan figured sev- eral years ago. Coming Race Meeting at Chicago. The Chicago Jockey Club is planning a re- vival of the Chicago Derby, to be run at the Hawthorne track on the opening day of the summer meeting. An official an- nouncement for the big stake has not yct been made, but will probably appear within a short time. Added money to the amount of $5,000 was formerly. given; and it is ex- pected the value for this year will come close to $7,000. The conditions are such that the stake will probably draw the en- tries of many horses now scheduled in the American Derby. Jeffries to Meet Three. James J.
