EW 'I Opponent of rowdy ball playing will rfad
MS. 'With extreme eeUsftctlon tbe sentiment of
jar.' .Albert G. Spalding, ex-Prcsldont of the Chicago
Kj' ' JLoaguo club, who arrived hore from the West
?& , on Wednesday.
vffi, "I want to congratulate Tub Son," said Mr.
W Spalding, yesterday, "upon Its masterly fight
tW against the disgraceful tactics of rowdies on
;-' league ball fields. I read with pleasure the in-
!$l terTlow yesterday with A. Q. Mills, and I would
Mr like to have It repeated word for word as my
q own opinion. Tlio newspapers In the West
I aare been following tho example set by Tub
?? Bu.f and are pounding the magnates, who aril
K chiefly to blame for the trouble. In my dpln-
Isv Ion, the Jjeague men, at tblr coming meeting',
y5 should throttle kicking In sucbn emphatlo way
Kg t that players In the future will hare to pay for
Mr the privilege of questioning the deolslonsof
It umpires. By that I do not mean that they will
Eg be compelled to pay Ones inflicted by.nmclres
Am so much as they must be flnod heavily by their
KS managers. Mr. Mills's suggestion that a clause
M shou'd'be Inserted in players' contracts to the
fee effectt'that they mustftrree to respect the rulings
Cv i of the umpires is worthy of consideration, for
y something of the sort should be done at onco.
Kg-. "There Is a lino to be drawn, however, be-
Pfp tween rowdyism and coaching. Before the
M League and American Association- were consoll-
IV dated there was a demand for ltTely coaching,
(w such as had' been introduced by Latham and
M Mike Kelly, and In due time there were many
j imitators of these two men. They were all
ijh coachers, howerer, and directed their attention
p to the baso runners, instead of howling at the
)& pitchers, batsmoaJani umpires, as is the custom
JR nowadays. Kicking over umpires' decisions
WE has grown Into a disgusting habit, and I know
h ''that the publlo at large Wants it stopped. The
M club owners can do this, and they should also
fie ' see to It that President "Young be officially in
KS , strutted to pay no heod to protests against urn
; pires in the future, Rowdyism is adlsgraoe to
the League. It is keeping away from the
v$ :gamea many patrons who otherwise would at-
f tend. So far as the Chicago Club is concerned,
Jjg President Uort will not tolerate any kloklng at
, all this year, and will make a fight on thKpoint
, at the Leaguo meeting."
&tit' 1. The statement can now be mado, without fear
jk of a denial, Chat Anson will not be, in any capa-
iaL. city, re-engaged by the Chicago Club. Anson's
'M r rUn years' contract with tho club expires on
e next-Tuesday, and It is believed that Tom Burns
A ' of Springfield will be the "old man's" successor.
9 The passing of Anson has been a dejlcato mat-
');" ter to handle and has been brought about for
& '"two reasons. One was that there was a little
:& friction between Anson and President Hart' over
t "the way the team should havo been handled
if " last year, and the other was that there was a
M- pretty general demand by the publlo for a
iff!- change In speaking of the matter yesterday
m Epaldtng said, with apparent feeling:
VK . It is mora of a sentimental nature than a
&; business proposition with me this removing of
.-.S Anson fori vo played ball with him when wo
I-'a. were boys and he's always looked to me to pro-
7mf tect htm. There's no more honest and capable
'.;, fellow In the world than Anson, and I would be
ja-' perfectly willing to have him remain as manager
;f of tbo Chlcagos were It not for reasons over
'$? which the club has no control. Anion has been
sk t with the Cblcugos for twenty-two years and In
3-3. , lhat tlmo ho has always been faithful to his
trust. I havo mado It my business to And out
fl . jiiBt what tho situation Is and 1 have learned
4yL . that while many persons wont Anson to be re-
&p tabled and threaten never to see another ball
&. game if ho goes, there aro many more who,
;3t though they do not 'criticise Anson's manage-
vt ment, simply say, 'Give us acbangel'
? . . "Baseball la a publlo amusement and a ball
tfb' elnbinust cater to tho public. As it is appar-
ent to the officials of the Chicago Club that tho
3! ' public, or the majority of tbe public wonts a
X', change, it seems to be a difUcuTt matter to de-
'W cldo without otlendlng Anson. Tbe latter,
, ' though, knows the facts, and when asked ono
W,. day who would bo a good man to succeed him,
o'-t in case his contract would not be renowod, he
. promptly namod Burns. The princlital requost
W wo havo received from everybody is to provide
ISt for Anson in some handsomo way, and that Is
5 " - what wo aro endeavoring to do. There Is no
fX: truth in tho yarn that Anson will bo the man-
' eacr of the St. Louis Club or that bo will own a
iiP western Leaguo club at Chicago. lie Is really
m quite broken up over the way things have
Zff turned out and docs not exactly know what be
!;i will do. 1 think tlint the League might adopt
AA - Freed man's suggestion to put Anson In abso-
!3E lute charge of tbe umpire department."

Ed Tipton, former Secretary of the Kentucky
Trotting Horse Breeders' Association, and now
the manager of the Montana circuit, in which
Marcus Daly is interested, is at the Hotel
Netherlands. There will be no harness racing
at the Montana meetings this year, it having
been found imposslbls to attract enough high
class horses to Butte and Anaconda, which are
more than 1,000 miles from tho nearest trotting
centres East or West. To a reporter of Tits
Bun Tipton said that Daly had not mado any
more match races that ho knew anything about
with either E. H. Uarriman or 1 Malcolm
Forbes, but he thought Daly would bo willing to
do so.
"I will make this proposition, however," Tip
ton said, "on behalf of the Prodigal two-year-olds.
There are just six of them out at the Bit
ter Root ranch. I will bet $9,000 or 9500, play
or pay, on that llttlo bunch of six two-year-olds
against tho get of any other trotting slro in
America. I don't care how many the other fel
low may havo to pick from. If he has forty
against the six, tbo bet goes at even money just
the same. We will put up the money now; trot
the race next fall on any good track that can be
agreed upon and namo our starters the night
before the race. Tho winner to take the pot, or.
If that doesn't suit, wo will divide tho money
the samo as at Goshen last year in case two or
more breeders come in."
Prodigal, the hone referred to. is by Pan

2:UU), by Cuylcr. Ho Is a full brother to
Patronage, the slro of Alix, 2:034. Marcus
Daly bought tho stallion, then a two-year-old,
from John S. Clark of New Brunswick In 18HH,
baying if 10,001) for him. Ho was bred by J. n.
McFerran of Louisville. Ky., who sold him to
Clark when thirty-one days old for V'2.500.

certain to bring out a response from tho owners
of sucb Kastern trottluir hires aa Cblmos, Stam

J. Malcolm Forbes of Boston has sold to Mrs.
S. L. Caton tbo crack trotting atallion Baron
Rogers, !2:O0$i. A long prlco was paid for him
for export, and he will bo shipped to Russia to
day by the steamship Phoenicia. It Is under
stood that tho purchase won made for a promi
nent Russian turfman. Baron Rogers is prob
ably the most valuable trotting horse that has
ever been sold to go to Europe. Forbes paid
B7.000 for him in 1890 whon his record was
2:10)4. Since then he has won many impor
tant races, cutting hts record down to i!:ODM,
which is not deemed to bo the limit of his speed.
Baron Rogers is a brown stallion, foaled in
1800, and bred by Col. R. G. Btoner, Paris, Ky.
lie is a son of Boron Wilkes, 3:18, the horse that
CoL fltoner sold to Col. John K. Thayer of Bos
ton for 9U5.OO0 a couplo of years ago. His
dam was Ashlsnd Maid, by Prewttt'it Ashland
Chief, gronoam Uosslp, by Tattler, out of Josulo
Pepper, by Mambrino Chief. At Nashvlllo in
18U2 Baron Rogers gained a two-year-old record
of 'J:'J7. He was campaigned with much suc
cess In 1805, winning among other races the
$5,000 stoke at Louisville.
In 1800 ho defeated nearly all of the host
horses in the 2:10 class, winding up the cam
paign at Lexington, where he won tbe $4,000
Ashland Stakes. Flvo days latorat thssame
meeting he beat the Transylvania winner
Senator A., along with Franklin, Fred 11., Lily
Young, and (jue Allen. Last year be won a
number of high-class races on New England
tracks, but got off at tne height of the cam
paign. In Europe he will havo to meet such
American-bred trottors as Countess Eve,

Aaialeurs Kateed far lbs Intercity fettraiy
Dlscnss tne A. A, V. Ruling.
A majority of the amateur bllllardUU who
arc entered to take part In the annual intercity
handicap tournament, booked to be played next
month at Maurice Daly's academy, held a con
ference yesterday afternoon at Daly's to con
sider tbo crisis brought about by tbe recent
decision of the A. A. U. Registration Committee,
Ferdinand Poggenburg of the Liederkrane
Club was spokesman for the amateurs. He said :
"Onr voto to go ahead with tho intercity
tourney Is not the result of pique. We realize
lhat tho A. A. IT. probably bas the interest of
amateur billiards at heart In arranging for a
championship tournament next April at the
Knickerbocker A. O., and we desire particularly
to hava It known that all the amateurs hope to
see tho Knickerbocker A. C. prosper as a ulub.
It has no part In this controversy. Wa stand
upon principle, and simply make this Issue
in tbe interest of justice and not In an
tagonism to tbe A. A. U. Our position Is
simply that we do not require to bo registered
by any organisation to establish our standing as
amateurs, and we Insist that, in assuming con
trol of amateur billiards, the A, A. U. has no
right in ethics or In tho unwritten law of gentle
manly sport to outlaw the Intercity tourney,
which was a fixture In amateur sport before the
A. A. U. ever thought of assuming control of
affairs In the domain of amatour billiards. It It
in a sense a private tournament, Involving no
championship and conflicting. With no en
terpriio thnt the A. A, U. may have
In mind now or at any . other time.
We believe that to abandon tbe tournament
would be a sacrifice of selt-rclpect, and if it
really involves ostracism by tbe A. A. U. ws
accept the gauntlet, and loave It to tbe lovers of
billiards nil over this country to decide whether
such proscription is fair, and particularly
wbcthor It Is calculated to win the approval of
gontlemcn who play billiards, not to make
money, but because thoy love the sport, '
Poggonburg's statement was Indorsed by W,
A. Barnard of tho Brooklyn Union League Club,
Frank Keener of tbo Crescent A, C J. Byron
Htark. L. L. Mini, and William Gersbel. The
fact waa mode known, after tho conference, that
Poggenburg had resigned from the 1C A. C. but
It was slated that the resignation had nothing
tn do with tho choice of tbo club as the placo for
tho playing of tho projected A. A. U. tourney.
MaurlcoUalysald: ....
"My position Is simply that of a donor of an
omblem. I beliove that a mistake has been
mado by the A. A. U., acting under a mlsappre
honslon of facts, and that It will rectify Itaolf.
I do not desire to antagonize any legitimate

I ALU AND COIIXJXIZ.
A Tale Graduate Thinks That Ttaey Should
Itaer,
To thk EmTon of Tnn Sex Sir: As an old
Yale gTaduato permit mo to express the feeling
of a number of my Yale friends that Cornell
has by ber boating record brought herself into
I he samo class as Harvard and Yale and de
Bcrvcs to bo considered ns nn equal by them.
Yalo beat Cornoll In 1873. In 1874 Yale and
Harvard foulod at Saratoga and wero each "out
oflU" In 1875 Cornoll won tho regatta, beat
ing Yale nnd Harvard. In 1870 she beat Har
vard. In 1807 sho beat Yale and Harvard. In
lsnf! she mado tho best time for four miles over
mado in America. Hor right to be considered
In Yalo's class must be conceded. Secondly,
things havo changed slnco it might bo said that
Ynlo and Harvard were the "Oxford ahd Cam
bridge of America." As far as boating Is con
cerned, their raco does not settle collego rowing
supremacy to-day, and tho f uturo of college row
lng points to Pennsylvania and Columbia as pos
sible It not probable, wlnnets. In England it is
conceded that Oxford and Cambridge contain
all tho best collego boating material, henco
winning their spring 'varsity race really means
nctunl supremacy Tn Knglnnd. Thirdly, while
Ynlo may be opposed to a " professions!' trainer,
as Courtney undoubtedly Is. they havo waived
that point by racing a year ago. Besides, Bob
Cook, whllo a bona lido graduato of Yale and
working for bis almn mater without pay. Is
conceded to be the equal In boating knowledgo
of any professional. Fourthly, all unpreju
diced collego men want to see tho best crew win,
and a tost ofLehmann's, Cook s. and Courtney's
style is to be desired for tbe benefit of amateur
rowing. I. therefore, as a Yale man, earnestly
hope that Cornell and Yalo "got together," and
thnt Yalo will admit Cornell to the race ot 1801)
as well ns 1808. I can see no fair and good
reason why tho policy of nn exclusive raoo with
Harvard ahould be maintained, and I should bo
in favor of admitting any American collego to
competition that hod achieved the excellent
record of Cornell.
I agree with the excellent editorial In a recent
Tale Alumni Weekly, thot college diplomacy Is
getting down to tbe level ofalio dickering of a
couple of pettifogging attorneys In a Justice s
court. What wo want is more affability, good
nature, sportsmanship, and open-handedneaa.
It Is more or less of an accident that a boy goes
to Cornell ar to Yale or Harvard; there should
bo no feeling ot hostility, only that ot gentle
manly rivalry. A Yale Graduate.

The officers of the New York State division ot
the L. A. W. have decided to adopt new rules
for the apprehension ot blcyclo thieves this year.
Daring tho last two yearstnmplaints were made
dally to tho L. A. W. of the loss of Valuable
Wheels by theft, Tho division Intends to form a
registration department for the Identification of
members' wheels by numbers. Wheels will be
registered for a small fee. Thk Executlro Com
mittee ot tbo division, consisting ot W. 8. Jen
kins, M, M. Beldtng, Jr., and G. K. Blackhnm,
has adopted the following resolutions relating
to the theft nnd recovery ot bicycles:
.Remind, That on and after March 1, 1608, the
tending reward now offered for the arm t and con
viction ot any person stealing a b'cycla belonging to
a number of the New York State Division be with
drawn. nttolivd. That a reward ot 195 bo paid from the
New York Stats Division treasury for tha arrest and
conviction of any person stealing a bicycle from a
member of tbe New York Stats Dlrlslon, provided
said btcycls shall hare been registered In the ofEos ot
the Secretary-Treasurer, In toaordance with the plan
proposed by the Secretary-Treasurer and adopted by
tbe Executlre Committee, and Shalt have had at
tache! the registration ptata contemplated In said
plan.
Chairman Mott ot tho L. A. W. Racing Board
claims that bis board is in a position to deal
with all the problems arising out of tho racing
situation this season, and he anticipates no
trouble from the racing plans now being
perfected by promoters. Considering all the
Kolnts likely to confuso tbe racing authorities,
is explanation is as follows:
"There Is no danger that any set of men
or any corporation or club will corner tbe
racing talent In this country. There is a strin
gent rule ngn'mt paying a bonus or nppearanco
money to a racing man, and no one would be
allowed to pay Michael, for Instance, to appear
on one particular track or number of tracks
under tho same control. It could not bo done.
If I saw that Bald, for instance, was riding on
one track and suspected bo was getting
Eald by one concern. I would suspend
Im at once on suspicion until I could
thoroughly Investigate tho mnttor. I suiprndod
Tom Cooper last year becauso of soma suspicion
of appearance money. It was early In the soa
son and It was not serious, so 1 only kept htm
under suspension for a few days. In order to
teach him a lesson nnd show him that wo would
havo nono of it. I do not consider that the
board will havo any serious troublo In New
York, no matter how much racing Is dono there
or how many tracks are constructed. Of cou: se
there will bo tracks built nnd tho promoters
of them will try to got blanket sanctions for all
the best dates; but tho promoters have been
trying to do that for years past nnd never suc
ceeded. As for tho tracks whore tho promoters
want to havo 'racing going on all the time, wo
havo provided for that In the new rules which I
havo drawn up for the coming year, nnd It these
rules are adoptod by tbe L. A. W. I think thoy
will work satisfactorily for nil parties."
I Local cyclists who make a practice of riding
during tho winter season Irrespective ot tho
temperature aro likely to find tbe roads gen
erally good for runs to-morrow. Tho road re
port Issued from tho L. A. W. headquarters yes
terday is as follows:
All roads In tbe boroughs of the Bronx and Man
hattan are In fairly good condition. Cyollsts
should beware ot Lexington avenue, between Fifty
flf th and Fifty-sixth streets as the asphalt, which was
torn up some months ago, has never been replaced,
and tbe street Is now In a dangerous condition. Sev
enth, Lenox, and St. Nicholas avenues are tn good
shape. In Tonkcrs the macadam roads are good, but
theearthroadsara poor. Wheelmen In going from
Tonkers to Klngabrtdge will find Riverside avenue In
much better condition than Broadway. In Mailings
the roads are fairly good. Boston road, betwren
Larchmout and Hye, haa been covered with blue
stone for a short distance, which bas greatly Im
proved this riad.
Long Inland Id Long Island City. Jackson avenue
from Newtown across the bridge to Flushing Is In ex
cellent condition. In Jamaica asphalt has been
placed on Fulton street from Van Wyck avenue to
Grand street, which completes this road. The mac
adam and earth roads of Far Ilockawayare In first
class shape. Tha road from College Point to Whits
stone II torn up In places. From Flushing to Wnlto
itone the rosds are very good. In Norttiport tha
roads are rather poor. The earth roads of Uemp
Itead are poor.
New Jersey The roads of Elisabeth can be de
pended upon aa being tn good condition for riding.
The macadam and dirt roads of Rosclle are frozen
and very rough. In Shrewsbury the roads are unfit
for wheeling.
Staten Island The macadam roads ot Staton Island
are In good condition, but earth roads are rough and
poor.
There is a strong sentiment throughout tho
lending divisions of tho L. A. W. to dxpungo
the word "amateur" from tbe membership
auauucations, in order to admit, professional
wheelmen. Kx-Preildent Sterling Elliott ot
tho League, whoso opinion Is held in high es
teem on legislative mntters in the organization,
favors a change in the membership rule. He
say a:
" I have listenod Attentively to tbo arguments
which have been made on occasions ngnlnst tho
admission of professionals, or at least those who
are known to bo professionals, nnd 1 am Incllnod
to think that tho arguments ure not well
founded. Let us by nil means keep out objec
tionable paople ot whatever class, but let us
carefully consider whether there are not many
professionals who arc not In any way objection
able. In other words, let us erase tho word
' amateur' and retain the word ' character.' "
The L. A. W. racing authorities have been In
correspondence with Secretary Pturmey of the
International Cyclists' Association relative to
the recognition by tbo foreign associations of
the Outlaw wheelmen on tho Pacific coast. Tho
Longue Is advised that the associations nttlllsted
with the I. O. A. will In no sense recognize the
Sunday racing element in California.
Henry Ducker of Boston. Secretary of tho
National Cycle Track Assoolstlon, was In town
yestsrday. Ho oxpresses confluence thnt tho
coming racing soason will surpass any pre
vious vear. Ho doclares that his association
proposes to run a uinibcr of niouts under the
auspices of tbo L. A. W. The nnnuat meeting
of tho N. C. T. A. villi bo hold to-day, and new
officers elected.
Chief Consul Hlnes of tbe Micblgan division
of the L. A. W, has been offered his choice of
the position of Second Vice-President or
Treasurer on tho Potter ticket. At tbe request
of bis division officers bo has notified Potter
that bo will accept a nomination, but that he
has no proforonco. It Is likely that he will be
slated for the Trousurerahlp.

Arthur O. Keans, tho young skater from th
New York Athlello Club, who flnlihed second
to Gcorgo D. Phillips in the competition last
year, won the figure-skating championship for
1808 at the St. Nicholas tllnk last night by th
unprecedented score ot 111 out of 114 point.
His nearest competitor was living Brokaw, the
well-known Princeton athlete, who scored 80
points. Tne other contestants Dntihed ns fol
lows: Doughty, Sorvatlus, Ward and Horner.
Kcane's work was phenomenal, notwithstand
ing tho fact that he was suffering from an ab
scess on tho right cheek. He finished tho first
day's work with a full score, and, with the single
exception of the spread cnalo figure, did th
same In yestorday's competitions. Ills work
was not as graceful or finished ne that of Inst
J earls champion, although he cut the varied
Igiiros with great precision.
The competition ended shortly before 13
o clock. The skaters had been hard nt work
during the afternoon and had finished the four
teenth figure bctoro the evening session. The
various evolutions wero far more difficult than
those that were decided on the first day, and
tho more experienced knights of tbo steel
runners had somowbnt the advantage, as
tho more Intricate figures of tho pro-
Irramm followed each other in quick succession.
Ceanc's work was especially good in the curved
angles, grapevlnos, nnd Philadelphia twist, and
his beol-nnd-too pivot circling and pirouette
called forth salvos ot appIaiiBo. His record ot
points was perfect until tbo spread-eagle figure.
In which be utterly tailed, scoring only 3 points.
Doughty. Sorvatlus, and Brokaw scored 0, 0,
and 4, respectively.
In the single and double flat-foot spin the
Judges gave tho premtor placo to Keane. Tbo
decision seemed to bo unjust from the unofficial
point of view, as Broknw's work was consid
ered to bo superior to that of the wlnnor, Tho
sorpontlnes on ono and both foct, alternating on
outer nnd Inner edges, single and double, were
cnl out, thereby destroying what chance Sor
vatlus had for a medal. This figure bas for
years beon his forte and it wns eliminated under
a strong protest. It was after 11 o'clock when
tho contestants began tbo twentieth figure,
which consisted of loops and rlnglota on Insldo
and outsldo odges, single and In combination.
As tbo N. Y. A. C. man was so far In the lead
that ho could not be overtaken the final figure,
which embracod specialties, original nnd pe
culiar movements, was also eliminated. The
summaries lu the flgures that wero decided and

The past Winter season has
been the largest and most success
ful in the history of this store.
At its outset the new firm (E
O T'sSons, successors to E O T)
determined to give its patrons
every possible advantage and to
handle only good reliable materials
nnd garments nt smaller profits
than were heretofore thought
possible.
This course was successful. In
addition to the large sales of our
own goods, the entire stock taken
from the old firm was disposed of.
Two factors have been nec
essary to this largely increased
business : very low prices, very
bountiful supplies. Our stock has
been kept up full and complete to
the last. A large part of the
present stock came from our
workshops since December 15th.
No more will be made now, and
as our invariable rule is, " never
carry anything over" we are
ready now to close out all at
greatly reduced prices.

IV Prosneet or m Rao ror th America' Cup,
Tbe rumor that O. Oliver Iselln had sailed for
England for the purpose ot arranging another
International yacht race for the America's Cup
was positively denied at the Norr York Yacht
Club yesterday. It was furthor stated by a
member of Mr. Iselln's family that bo has roads
no arrangement to go abroad this winter, and
It was hardly within tbe bounds of possibility
that be would care to arrange an International
match even should he journey to Europe.
The report that Mr. Iselln would represent tbs
N. Y. Y. C, In a conference with British yaclit
men relative to an international race came from
Boston yesterday afternoon. Tbe thing li im
probable on its face, so yncbtsmcu Bay. Tliey
point to Mr. Iselln's position in tbo last nodes ,(
contests for the cup, which, they clnlni, yr
eludes his selection us tlio emlrsnryot tlieNor
