fKi". It'har) been rumored for sovtral days put
m that tlio New York A. C. will leftso Manhattan
', '. Fleld-frorfi tlio Now York Ilaseball Club and
b hold several Important meetings there this
'fm vv '0Ar' t ' R' llmt members of tlio club be-
1' ' '' lloro thnt tch a uioto would boom out-of-door
IB ( -i sunntcur sports, nnd would also prove profltablo
E ' ' to ftio nthlctlo department. From several
(,; . sources It Is learned that the matter bos been
!fjr , dlscn.ss.od by tho Hoard of Governors, and boiho
Sj persons say that negotiations with tho base-
' sJJj w.1 ul) wl" oon 0Penc'1, Tho um'nor
M P' 'Homo" bf tho club at Travers Island Is qulto
i popular, with tho members, but It Is so far away
Jf. , that It is a dimcdft matter to attract tho out
'm; .' side athletes, II is rarfl. If Manhattan Field is
jfft . t n's'aaod, therefore, many persons bellovo that
, , tho club's roll ',of athlotes will be rrraatly in
g. ' creased. Those who claim that tho club will
;S . t aecu.ro the lease of the Held say that it would be
H 1,',( the) .policy of tlio managers to set nil of the bis
ar w lnterscholnstlo and Intercollegiate events, in
'$ A: cludl a football and baseball. Tho fact that
H ' Columbia Univenlty Is located noar the Hold Is
,tt , j also bclnc used as an argument why tho stu
ff dents would nrnll themselves of a chsnoo to
Jf use it, too. 'Whether it turns out to bo truo or
' not, tho idea appears to do a &ood one from
fls1 every point of now. Tho Held Is held by tho
ball club for a term of yoars, for which an an
f, nutU rental of $12,500 is paid. It Is qulto
J probable that President Frcodman would sub
letlt under.certaih conditions, notably an agree-
t burnt' whereby no professional, basobnll Karnes
& NWouId be played without the consent of the New
tp S vX0 c'ul Thero havo also been stories that
. "cerfaiin blcyclo raco promoters wero after tho
a field, but that tho terms asked tor it wero too
P high,' If the Now York A. O. should lcaso tho
' " place and build a first-class blcyclo track, to-
'3 gether with'in up-to-dato cinder track, the pos-
M aiblllty for securing all the big- cycle events
Ki ' would be easily apparent.
hi Thero is no organization bettor capitalized for
BS; handling such a schemo as tho New York A. C.
' which annually appropriates $23,OOU for the
B? promotion of the various branches of amatour
Vfg sport. The management has good reason to ro-
1 member Manhattan Field favorably, for it was
Kg' thero that thu club held tho hlstorlo Interna-
i'S' ttonal meet of 18l3, when, attar paylnt; tho
if ' round trip oxpensos of England's reprecnta-
Lff tlve team, it mado a net proQt of about $8,000
$gp in one afternoon.
Vjiv Gaston lUvlerre. tho French bicycle rider,
li who took part in tho recant six-day blcyclo race
!,;J in the Madison Square Harden and who lost a
x good chance of Qnlslilng in second place by fall-
fR fag and injuring his knee, has reached Paris.
iM Ho is telling some hard stories about the way ho
)'' and Btephami; were treated by their American
Jf rivals. Itivlorre says that he was "pocketed"
ii continually during tufc first four days of the con-
'fs test and that he was Anally knocked down by
j Klnx. who deliberately pushed him over. Ha
i& al declares that tbo Amorlean riders violated
p all of tho rules in their nttemptii to beat tlio
&V Frenchmen and other foreigners and that they
, were upheld by tho management. When Jtl-
I'.i vlerro sustalneil tbo fall tliat put lilm out of tho
i race with a badly sprained knee, be was riding
j alone around the Madison avenue curve Uo
tijk' bad fallen o(T his wheel onco before, but that was
S, due to Ida own cnralcssness. Tbo Bccond (all
BEV' was causod by his taking his hands on tho
lie handlebars and calling to a policeman to arrest
'M lotno mon in n box who wero calling him names.
iS; Klnz was not within titty feet of him, co eyewlt-
B ffft Besses said at tho time, and the Frenchman was
Ijf practically alone. Itlvlcrro takes exception to
Kf tho way ho was treated by a paper here, which
t repeatedly asserted that ho had "gone insane."
!M He declares that he novcr for a moment lost his
m. head.'
'M- .In' response to Capt Hand's call for battery
vJj, candidates eighteen men havo begun prrllniln-
iff ary training nt Harvard. Thero is filonty of
t-S, I Pitching material with these men to pick from:
xj- Cozzens, Morse. Hayes, Dill, Doran, llacon,
V& Kly, MuaUonald, Franklin, ltumery, Hticknoy,
j,yS end Schwill. Cozzens has been substitute on
the 'vurblty for two yoars and Is well thought
fY- -,5 of. Slorso haB had some experience, and Hum
S ui "err is a promising freshman. For catchers
jif Held. Blade, Singer. W'llllnms. and Davis aro on
T tho list. Held played full back on tho fresh-
-JK innn football elovcn last fait and has a reputa-
; tion ns n tlno catcbe'r, hiado at Belmont Acad-
j oray in California. Davis Was n sttbstltuto last
Mv yoar and cim play good ball. Hlodo Is another
Hi; tmbstltuto, but is considered to bo rather too
tW light for tho place. The other candidates will
$; bo called out later on. Coach jowls, the well-
CL known pitcher of tho Dostons, will tako charge
C of tho men immediately. Lewis, by tho way,
fr, 1 an ex-Amherst man.
f& President Young says that ths trouble he is
as experiencing in drawing up tho nownchcdulo is
KSJ r principally duo to tho lact that ho has only 188
Kk Playing days In wbleh to scliedulo 1M. games
B for each club that does not play Sunday ball at
ih- home. Ho thinks Suturday double-headers
h&r will bo necessary at times in order , to get nil of
3. the games in. It Is also apparent, he says, that
& the teams will be kept on the jump continually
!' fi. to meet all points of the schedule, and that
; there will bo so many additional postponed
fe j ironies that double-headers will be more In or-
;V .'' der than over before ' ;
iVS- " He also declares that It will be Impossible to
m arrange tho schedule so that tho Icarus will
m. ii stay away from homo not more than, two weeks
3U ' at a time, for some of them will oxcecd that
tt time on many Of.tho tips. If Young receives olll-
' clal Information that tho New Yorks, llrook-
- lyns, and I'lttsburgs will play Sunday ball, his
3S task will not bo so dlMcult. Tho adoption of
mt. , this particular form of schedule will bo re-
Wi ' trarded as a moTcto compel all of tho clubs in
r?sj& time to play Sunday ball.
g& t- The Philadelphia Raseball Club manager, not
wf i satisfied with having Bcured a grana total of
M. " fhlrty-slx players for next season, has got an-
Effi' other. Jacob Jamison ..or tho Carllslo Indian
3 ' School is tke man, ana ho has been heard of
i - before. Jamison first became prominent as half
fuaok on the Carllslo Indians' football eleven.
V Then he pitched for the red men's nine, and de
veloped so much ability that lie attracted the
j,.- , , . attention of many Loaguo managers. Ho be-
m longs to tho Hcneca ttlbu, and Is a superb ath-
35;' leto. Ho Is 5 foet II inches tall, and weighs
S rt 17B Pounds. When he signed his contract yes-
UT terday John I. Rogers asked the Indian If he
vgp c thought he could hold his end up In fast com-
'& ' pany.
, c "xoubet I cnnV' was Jamison's reply. "Just

if It is said that the Chlcagos and Cievelands
M ' ' were both anxious to capture tho young brave.
Jtl At Philadelphia the cranks nro rather inclined
So to treat Jamison's engagement as n Joko.
3C They havo nicknamed their team "The Nine of

A Crowd an tbo Ion at Vi Cnrtlanitt Pnrtl
The Ball Up at Proesect ParU.
Snow foil In fine flakes during the afternoon
yesterday at Van Cortlandt Park, but this did
not check the sports of the skaters, for Foroman
Maugln had his snow ploughs and sweepers out,
so that the snow was cleared away as fast as tt
gathered. In all, only about three inches de
scended, and when tbo night skating began there
was not a trace of snow on tbo Ice. Tho sport
lasted until 10 o'clock last night, and but for
tho lack of the usual calcium lights about tho
shores the sceno was as brilliant and gay as
usual at the annual publlo carnival of the
skaters on Ven.Cortlandt Lake. In tho Hurry of
organizing tho new Park Board, tho Commis
sioner for the borough of tho Bronx, August
Moebcr, was unable yesterday to get through
the requisition for tho calciums, but they will
probably bo flaring out over tho ico to-night.
The sheet of Ice had boon further Improved by
tho banishment of tho skaters from tho tlno sur
face covering the lako on Tuesday night. It
was tested yesterday In many different spots by
tho experts, who pronounced It to be of an aver
age thickness of seven Inches. Usually tho ico
at tho westerly end of tho lake Is weak, but now,
probably beoauso tho contiguous bushes and
undergrowth were cleared away during the
summer, this part Is as solid as all the rest.
The Ice is the best known slnco tho city
has had possession at Van Cortlandt Park,
and extends in a clear sheet of even
thickness nnd without a crack or airhole, from
shore to shore. At 4 o'clock in tho at tornoon.
when the crowd was thickest, from 1,800 to
2,000 persons wero on tho ico. Tho pavilion was
kept nicely warmed for tho accommodation of
the throng, and Domlnlck's staff did a thriving
trade in hot coffee, soft drinks, nnd sandwiches,
as well as In hiring out skates. A great Improve
ment slnco last winter is that the steps before
tho pavilion havo been widened and safe side
rallsjiut on the platforms extending out on tho
Ice. These changes greatly enhanced thocomfort
of tbo skaters, but the lookers-on, who had much
entertainment from the unoxpected slips and
falls of tho skate-wearers In their journeys over
the former narrow passages, dldnot have nearly
so much diversion.
Whether thoy came in the morning, after
noon, or night, tho fact that this Is tho nthlctlo
age was impressed on all beholders. The tum
bling, wildly sliding element seems to havo van
ished from tho skating cohorts. Whether this
is duo to practicing In the inclosed rinks or,
with tho children, to sidewalk efforts on roller
skntes may be only guessed at, but unquestion
ably the Van Cortlandt Park skaters were all
at ease on the steel blades. Betoqued, blanket
clsd skaters at a Queboa winter carnival or
the speedy Ico racers of Norway could not
move with greater freedom and grace. In the
morning hours groups of children under tho
convoy of maids and governesses, with occa
sional parties of young women and men known
in socloty, made up the attendance. School
girls and schoolboys predominated in the after
noon, forming a rushing, darting, red-cheeked
host that completely swamped the Individuality
of their elders who ventured Into the ranld
whirl, and after dark parties of boya and men,
mostly from tbo samo office or atblotlo club,
and parties of girls and women with their es
corts met on the Ice. As Is always the cose nt
Van Cortlandt, the visitors from Yonkors and
tho towns nearer to the park wero nearly as
numerous as those from below tho Harlem.
The "Skates put on I " boys wero numerous
In the afternoon, but tbey did not do a very
tbrlving trade, for the schoolboys, after gallant
ly strapping or clamping on the skates for their
slstors, or tbolr sisters friends, were too eager
to accept any aid, and, sitting on tho snow
covered bank, they would do the skate boys out
or a dime by putting on their own metals.
The curved front skate and tho old
tlmo rocker seem to have vanished from
modern favor; a few of tbo men at
night carried finely trimmed und designed
skating tools of the once-popular types, but tho
at tornoon boys and girls would not have any of
them. Clamp skates of the sort tbo hockey
players use, that permit quick turns nnd short
stops, were the favorites with the boys, but
nearly as many used tbe long, narrow Norwegian-designed
speed skates, strapped to tbe
shoe. The "swagger" thing, day or night,
was to carry an extra pair of heavy shoes
swinging over tho shoulders, to which tbo
skates wero attached, tbo new footwear being
donned when the ice was reached. The girls
and women were less restricted In tbe styles of
their skates, but the hockey skate was In the
lead with tbem, too. With tho women the
ordinary cycling suit. In length of skirt nnd
styles of jacket and hat, made an ideal skating
costume. Too boys and men were alike only In
tbe unanimity with which tbey woro thick
worsted sweaters nnd caps.
In the night, although there was neither
moon nor stars to brighten the scene, the lights
in tho distance marking the line of Broadway
and Qrand avenuo and tbe swinging red lan
terns of tbo railroad block signals added to tho
bosuty of the view when skating away from tbo
pavilion, and in approaching it the roflector
lamps along tbo pavilion platform made the ice
nearly as light as at midday. Kach Individual
skater, as bo crossod these glenmtng raysof light,
stood out liko a sllhouetto In tho gaze of tbe re
turning skaters. The curlers had possession of
tbe small lake br tho old mill, where tbo Yonk
ors and Van Cortlandt rinks bad a lively prac
tice match to determine their candidates for tho
teams in the annual much, North vs. South of
Scotland, to bo held at Van Cortlandt Park to
morrow. Prospect Park's three lakes woro the mecca
toward which Brooklyn's skaters turned yester
day. It was tbe llrst day's skating, and tho
?ollce reports last night stated that between
2.000 and 10.000 enthusiasts glided over the
frozen surfaco between tho hours of 0 o'clock
and 10 o'clock last night, at which latter hour
the guardians began from "tho well" to clear
the surface of the lake. Skating began nt 10
o'clock In the morning, but up to noon scarcely
moro than 100 persons availed themselves of
the privilege to venturo out on tho glittering
surface, During the early hours of tho nflor
tioon, however, the red ball that was displayed
on the street cars began to attract tho crowds
to the banks of the lako and In tho big summer
house, which hud been inclosed in glass for tbe
season when "Jack Frost" Is in evidence.

te Brs teas' Illness.
Charlos IT, Byrne, President of the Brooklyn
Baseball Club, dlsd yesfordny morning at his
residence, 107 Wost Klercnlh strett. after a Ions
Illness. It was only his rcmarkablo will power
that kept him nllvo duting tbo last two weeks,
during which time ho was in a comatoso state.
Mis death was duo to a complication of diseases.
Tho funeral will tako place on Thursday morn
ing nt 10:30 o'clock from St. Francis Xnvlcr
Church, in Wost Slxteonth street
Byrno was born here about Of ty-fl ve yearn ago.
Ho was educated in tho publlo schools, and
when about 10 years old ho was a choir boy at
St. Francis Xavler's Church In Wost Sixteenth
street. He studied law later on, but was never
admitted to tho bar. Ho was 25 years old
whou ho wont Into tho real estate business, with
an office on Pine street, but soon aftor that he
went Wost. settling at Omaha. It was whllo
there that Byrno was chosen deputy BhorifT, In
addition to his regular employment in tbe rail
rond business, and ho held the ofilco for several
years
Coming back here, Byrne, with F. A. Abell
and JotcpU Uoylo, engaged in a business ven
ture, situated on Ann street, for many years.
It was ho who suggested that Brooklyn should
be represented inn baseball organization, and
when the club was admitted into tlio Inter
stato Lencruo in 1883 ho began to work Uko a
Trojan to make it successful. The club was
located at old Washington Park, nnd buslnoss
was so good that Byrno secured a franchise In
tho American Association In 1884. He wns
soon tho loading spirit In that association, nnd
as n tnombcr of tho Board of Arbitration he
was a power nnd wns so rccoiinlzod by the mag
nates of tlio National League
Byrne, ns President of tho Brooklyn Club,
aided by the liberal backing oCAhell and Doyle,
gave to tho patrons of tho gamo across tho
bridgclsonio great baseball. .During tbn seasons
of 1H87. 1888. anil 1889, nt Washington Park,
'be Brookly ns d re w largo crowds and tbo coffers
of tho club wero tilled to overflowing. In
181K) camo the revolt of tho National Lcaguo
players and the war with tho Brotherhood.
This movement gave tho opportunity to Byrno
and his partners thoy bad bean looking for.
Byrne, with his usual diplomacy and skilful
manipulation of tho wires, managed to secure
for the Brooklyn Club a much coveted fran
chise In tho Loaguo. In ordor to do this it
was, of course, necessary to withdraw from tho
American Association, and as Cincinnati mado
a similar move, the Association was a partial
wrock. So generously had tho Brooklyn plny
crs been treated by Byrue that only one of tho
toam that"" on tho American Association pen
nant in 1880 went to tho Brotherhood,
In 1800 tbo Brooklyns, still playing at Wash
ington Park, won tbe National League pennnnt
and Byrne was tbe happiest man in baseball.
With the settlement of tbo Brotncrhood war
the following winter, camo troubles that grad
ually broke down tbo health and s rengtb of
tho well-known magnate. It was he who, with
A. G, Spalding and one or two others, patched
up the differences with the Players1 League
officials and helped to consolidate the rival
clubs hero and at Brooklyn, Boston. Pittsburg,
Chicago, and Philadelphia. In consolidating
his own Brooklyn Club with tho rival Players'
League Club a part of tho contract was that
Byrne's club should leave tbe popular Wash
ington Park nnd go to tho present grounds nt
East New York. The move proved so disad
vantageous that it soon becaruo a losing ven
ture. A breach between Abcll nnd Doyle, tho lat
ter being Byrno'a brother-in-law, mado moro
complications, and tbe failure of tbo minority
stockholders of tho club to help Abcll and
Byrno to meet the club's losses caused In
creased worrlmcnt of mind. Added to theso
unfortunate circumstances was tho poor play
ing of the Brooklyns during tho past three years,
which helped to increase tho strain and break
down tho "Little Napoleon." as Byrno was
knonn in baseball. Ab a member of the Notional
Board of Arbitration, the highest honor that a.
magnate can receive. Byrno shotted wonderful
abllltv to dccldo ninny case complicated
enough to puzzlo a Supremo Court Justlco.
Ho was always fair In nls dealings, nnd ovor
thoughtful of tho welfare of tlio gamo ho helped
to build up. , ... j ..
Only a few wooks ago Byrno attended the
meeting of the Lcntrun nt Philadelphia. Ho
was verv fooble. but would not dosort his post.
The Brooklyn Club wns hauled beroro the Na
tional Hoard to show cause why Second Baso
man Egan should not belong to tho Pittsburg
Club. Egan had been drafted from Syracuso
by Manager Barnlo. who did not know that
Pittsburg bad n prior claim. Although it was a
sad blow to Brooklyn. Byrno, with his con
freres, nftcr hearing tho merits of the case,
promptly voted to return Kgan to Pittsburg.
Tho decisions handed down by the National
Board havo always been noted for tbolr Btrlctly
legal construction, nnd many persons have
wondered who drow them up. But every
member of the board will attest tho fact that
Byrno, rcmcmbcrlnc what ho had learned In
tho dustv law books of his youth, wus the man
who habitually wrote the oulnlons.
Byrne, whllo a vigorous lighter In baseball
politics, and n fair, square enemy, wns alwavs
a warm, sincere friend, especially to those in
trouble. Ho wns rospected by tbo entire base
ball world, and tho N'ntlonnl Loaguo will find
great dllilculty in filling his place. He was
unmarried, and leaves a brother and two sisters.

A meeting of tho Executive Committee of the

tion of tbe award of tho national meet was dis

tbe L. A. W. Itncing Bo ird. The committeo de

Long Island.
In order to officially declare tho position of tho
Pennsylvania division of the L. A. W. In tho
npproaehliig eloctlon of new officers, Secretary
Treasurer P. H. Collins has Issued tho following:
The folltwlug resolution was adopted at the annual
meeting uf the Pennsylvania PlvUlon:
lleiolitd, Tbat It Is the sense of the Hoard of Officers
of the Pennsylvania Division that one of Its ornocrs
should I e a candidate for an omce In the national or
iraulsatlon commensurate with tbe dignity of tbe
Pnnnsylvanla blv laiou. and Messrs, Uoyle, Collins, and
OMeon bavin? declined to accept such a position.
lUsohtd, That tills board recommends T. J. Keenan,
Jr., for sucb office.
The officers of the L. A. W. havo been held re
sponsible, in a large measure, for tbe undeslr
ablo notoriety tbe organization attained in tbe
controversy about thu short track In the six-day
race at the Madison Squaro Qnrden last monlb.
Two members of tho National Ilnclng Board.
Albert A. Mott and A. D. Wnlte. aro criticised
severely. Mott officiated as retereo of the races
of the American Cycle Racing Association on
Dec. 2D, and Wnlte acted in the same capacity
last Saturday in tbo Garden races held under
th samo auspices. Objoctlon Is raised against
offlccrsoftboleagucolUclntingat meetings of tbo
association., as it is under investigation for
flagrant violation of tho L. A. W. rules. At
tho headquarters of tho leaguo yesterday an
officer of tho division spoke in relation to tho
action of Messrs. Mott and Walto us follows:
"It seems an Ill-advised thing In my estima
tion for members of tbo National Racing Board
to openly officiate nt raco meetings of an
association that Is ohargod with violating tbo
Lcaguo rules und whose members nro under In
vestigation on such charges. Surely tho publlo
will form nil sorts of Ideas of such actions, and
I am inclined lo tho belief that if some of tho
racing officials will exerciso more diplomacy
the organization will not be placed in the awk
ward positions it has had the misfortune to suf
fer from recently In Us identification with rao-
fiomo surprise Is expressed by members of tbe

las Called an to Bmlnln the Halter.
CnioAoo. Jan. 4. After being volod nn un
qualified success, tho amateur golf champion
ship tourney at Whenton is not to be per
mltted to pass Into history without a
scandal. For some time past thoro has
boon considerable talk In tho inner circles
of the golf world regarding statements
credited to Flndlay Douglas, to tbo effect that
his clubs woro tamperod with boforo his match
with II. J. Whlgham in tho semi-final round for
tho championship last September. Efforts wero
made to keep tho matter qulot until nn Investi
gation had been made, but without avail.
From dlfforont sources rumors have reached
tho Chicago Golf Club about Douglas and his
clubs, but no attention was paid to them until
thoy becaino so persistent that something had
to be done. Members of tho club heard
the subjoct discussed openly by golf players in
public restaurants at Now York, and on their
return reported tho matter to C. B. Mac
Donald of the Chicago Golf Club. Ten
days ago MacDonald wroto a friendly
note to Douglas, telling him of tho
rumors and asking him it ho had mado the
statements, and it so, to mako bis charges so
that they could bo thoroughly Investigated. To
this lottor no reply has been received.
"I am very sorry that this has happened,"
said MacDonald to-day, " and I cannot be
lieve tbat Douglas over said that his clubs wero
tampered with, although I havospokon to mon
who assure me that ho did say so. I wroto a
friendly letter to him, such as one friend would
write to anothor, and I expect to hear from
him dally. The charges are absurd If they wero
ever mado. If ho thought that his clubs had
been touched, why did he not speak as soon as
ho mado the discovery I Thon an Investigation
could havo been mado with some hopos of trac
ing the affair to n head.
"If Douglas has mado tho charges Uien all I
can say Is thnt it is not only nn Insult lo tho
members of tho Cbicngo Golf Ciub, but
to tho sportsmen of the United States. In
no other sport has tho standard been kept so
high as It lias In golf, and yet hero comes u boy
who Impugns the honesty of men who havo
mado a successful effort to keen tbo sport clean.
It is another case of a Britisher refusing to take
a defeat gracefully.
"The Chicago Club has not yet taken official
notico of the matter, but if no answer is
received to my letter it will bo brought
up at tbo next moating nnd the Secre
tary will be Instructed lo write to Doug
las. If ho Ignores that communication,
also, tbo case will bo laid boforo tho United
States Uolf Association, nnd if Douglas does
not then come to time bo will havo to step down
and out."
A member of tho Chicago Golf Club, who
asked that bis name Bhould not be used,
said ho had an Intimation shortly
after tho Donglns-Whlgbnm match that
tho former had asserted his belief that his
clubs had been tampered with. He went to
Douglas, who admitted thnt ho did bcllcvo so.
Tho latter, however, uddotl that bewnssuro
Whlgham bad nothing lo do with " fixing"
tbem.
The officials of the Chicago Golf Club are great
ly annoyed that their well-mansgod tournnmont
should have u stain placed upon It, nnd they In
tend to probe tho matter to too bottom.

Snow, according to the players who wero out
yesterday, is not to stop golfing on tho publlo
links at Van Cortlandt Park. Throughout the
snowfall and in spite of tho temptation to Join
the skaters ten golfers mado tho round of tho
links. The last pair to finish. Just nt nightfall,
wero John M. Kyle nnd W. A. McKlnley. Tbo
snow is not too deep for good work. In their
opinion, oxenpt in some deep drifts. The regular
puttmc greens are not used, hut tho tempo
rary ones are well placed and afford good sport.
The annual meeting of tho Wee Burn Golf
Club will bo held nt Stamford this evening. A
number of changes will lie mado In the rules

rntLADELpniA, Jan. 4. Gordon S. Carrlgan
was reelected Commodoro of the Schuylkill
Navy last night over Dr. Root, the local dole
eato to tho National Association, by a vote of
8 to 3. Wbon the nominations wero made a
month ago eight clubs indorsed Carrigan. It
was more a light against tho rule of ths Na
tlonnl Association than against Hoot, and tbe
local organization got in its work. Tbo uitvy's
candidate for national representative, Carrlgan.
wns defeated by the members ot the national
committee at the election last summer, and to
efface this Carrlgan wns nominated so as to de
feat Hoot, who accepted tho appointment of del
egato from thl- district by tbo N. A. A. O.
Tbo feuturo of the nicotine last night was the
refusal of tho navy to accept the committoo ap
pointed by tho National Association to Invest!
eata the charges preferred by tbo local organi
zation against Secretary Fortmeyer. Itusolu
tlonsto this effect were passed, and It Is stntod
tlieraln that Ihu committee, uomposod ns It Is of
fellow workers of Mr. Fortmeyer, without re
flection upon Its fairness or Integrity, cannot
divest itself of tho nsiurnl prejudices In favor
of a fellow worker. Tho resolutions conclude:
That tho Sohulklll Navy refuses to present any evl
dence to tho committee, Lut will i e willing to submit
tbe case to a committee of disinterested persons (as
sociated with amateur rowing); one to bo chosen by
the Schuylkill Navy and one by the executive Com
mittee of the National Association, neither of wbom,
however, shall be oonnected officially with either or
ganization, and a third to be chos u by the two
named, who shall bav no official relations with
either the bchujlklll Navy or tbo National Associa
tion, BaaUetbnll Motes.
