Sold. Ilut amateur baseball has never been
ISf bandied by a governing body In such n way
S that a lino could bo drawn between thopuro
X mateur and tho semi-professional. Tho Itegls-
?H tratlon Committee of the A. A. t7.,ot-wlilch Jnmcs
Of E. Sullivan is Chairman, is preparing clrcu-
m Urs to bo sent to loading amateur athletic and
sL baseball clubs allovcrthecountrynotlfjlUKthcru
iS that they must forthwith npply for sanction for
tS their games nnd registration for their players.
!fe In the metropolitan dstrlct, over which Bartow
It' B. Weeks of the Itcglstration Cominlttoo has
$J Unmediats control, it Is tho Intention of tho A.
?& A. U. to organize an amateur baseball lengno,
W consisting of tho Now York A. C tho Now Jer-
W ,r c" tl, Knlc1"!tuoc,cr A' - "' "tucr
WW clubs, and ultimately to Inaugurate a national
lQ amateur baseball championship, which iholl
" Jf produce tho strongost team In tho country. In
I jffl that way tho A. A. U. officials bcllovo thoy will
J 55? form a basis for further successful operations
8y among minor clubs nnd playorj. Chairman
f l Bulllvan outlined tho movement yesterday In
M the following manner:
S "Tho Union will tako the same step In oma-
fb teur baseball that has already been made among
$ basketball, billiard and hockey plavcra. It ii
jfi not tho Union's Intention to bo In any way arbl-
5 trnry, but to carry out our original principles
$, of maintaining puro amatourlsm In various
S branches of sport, hitherto uncontrolled by
M governing bodies. Persons who hnvo been
Inimical to tho action of tho A. A. U. are ask-
ing why wo do not assume control of golf, row-
Ing, bicycling nnd skating. Our reason Is nn
'JT excellent one. Those particular sports aro all
ij admirably controlled by tho United 8tatcs Oolf
3L Assoclatlon,-tho National Association of Amateur
K Oarsmen, tho L. A. TV and tho National Skat
8 ing Assoclotlon respectively. Ilut.UWo basket
'JE ball, billiards and hockey, amateur baseball has
hitherto been permitted to run Itself, and the A.
J A. U., in the Interest of puro sport.'hos assumed
w control of It. Our Idea Is that all athletic cl ubs,
ii members of tho A. A. U will support us and
v w'U register their players without trouble. All
ft otberoutsldoclubswlllboaskod to register their
, men, and if they refuse thoy will bo dlsnuoll
!M fled. Hy this wo do not mean that wo will pur
' iuo avcry amateur ball club that puts chnl
J: lenges in Tun Sun, for that would entail a fonr
fej ful amount of work for our committee, but wo
S, Intend to go after tho clubs of known standing,
3$ which profoss to como within thn amateur rule,
M and yet violato it by hiring players outright.
tf Take tho Orange A. C. for Instance. Several
it members of that club's ball team are paid. Wo
y. will send a circular to tho club, and If tho men
Sf are not registered they will nil ho disqualillcd.
; That courso will bo pursued with every club of
,f prominence. In this district wc Intend to form
CJ an amateur league of teams representing nth
X, Jetlc clubs, notably tho New York A. C, the
j!f Knickerbocker A. O., the New Jersey A. C. nnd
'.ft several others. If we hare, say, six clubs in tho
''; leatruoof about fifteen players each, tho A. A.
iiis u. will rccolvo only about $100 ns rcglstrntlon
'itr tees, half of which goes to tho Jletropolitan
'& Association. Thorofore, tho choree that tho
,& A. A. U. Is mercennry Is absurd. Ifonooftho
6 abovo players, after being registered, takes part
$ In a game on an unsanctioned team, ho will be
H' disqualified and will bo unabio to tako part in
ft any branch of sport over which the A. A. V.
.bos jurisdiction. This will prevent a man who
plays on woek days with a strictly ainnteur
-i'r team from going off somewhere else on Sundny
'fe- under nn assumed namo and playing for '-'.
;S Tho point will also bo made that a man regis-
'; terod ns a member of tho New York A. C. tenm
i'g cannot play with any other team during the
fljr period of ono year. In that way clubi can hold
ISJ their players, something nfter tho manner in
St which National Leoguo clubs hold their men
!& by contract.
p "As far ns collegians aro concerned, I wish
W, TitE 8nN would mako it particularly clear that
,ys wo Hare no idea of interfering with them whllo
'M thoy are actually in college, but when thoy
J-v bave graduated and havo become member of
SlT various athletlo club teams, then they will
'Kfi come under tho Jurisdiction of tho A. A. lT. If
( wo learn that a number of ex-collcgo mon aro
"tV playing on a team at Cape May, for Instance.
''Si or In a league in tbo Adlrondacks, or at the
B?; summer resorts in the Whtto Mountains and
fj'i elsewhoro. we will promptly ask thorn to fill
fg out our registration blanks, and If they come
i'" UP to tho requirements thv will be sanctioned
Jjfi as a team to play hull for ono year, when they
K. 'Will have to go through tho samo process again.
i In doing this tho A. A. U.'b Role object is to II ml
out who aro playing bnsoball for puro sport and
who are playing for money outright, hotel bills
and other expense. It is merely a question of
drawing tho lino between strict amateurs nnd
B. semi-professionals. Tho A-. A. P. may ask tho
q' Intercollegiate Athletic Association to nssumo
, control of college baseball and thereby get nt
the men, who. In vacntlon time, play on nth-
m- letlc club teams and other nines not strictly
amateur. I liavo already opened commnnicn
m tlon with Walter Camp of Yalo, asking him If
,. tho A. A. U, cannot receive tho nsslstnnce of
'jtf the Football Hulcs Commltteo In restricting
'jt graduates who play football on various teams
as and violate tho nraatour rule. Of courso, if a
;M man wishes to play busobnl! for money or font-M-
ball for bis expenses we do not care. Itnt th
SSf A. A. II, does wish to prevent scml-profes-fit
aionals from raasmieradlng as pure amateurs
nF. in baseball as well as In other sports. It is a
,,'' gigantic undertaking, but wo feel that it is well
;1 to make a beginning now, rather than to put It
j off until the evils are even moro pronounced."
'M nowdylsm on tho ball fields controlled by tho
jfi National Leatruo makes tho following rule ap-
'W' "oar '" " B0Iuewhat humorous light:
'$& Rula 06, Soctlon 2 The umpire muHt be addreised
rS by ItepUysraas "Mr. Umpire."
$K There's a gamo being played between tho
W.. War Eaglos and th Illack Hawks theso
f names aro aubstltutcil for those of two noted
kicking teams in tbo League nnd tho score Is
tied. Tho bases aro filled, and tho Illuck
; Hawks are In tho field. Tho man at tho bat
'.& has two strikes and throe bulls, and tho pitcher
'If ihoote ono over the outside corner. Two men
& are out and tho umpire hesitates. Tho croud
M. bowls nngrlly, until finally tho umpire, screw-
?f in? UP D'3 courage, yells:
tg. ''Four balls, take yourbaso!"
. According to rule f)U, nobody has a right to
a dispute this decision, butnstbunivncrsnf these
m clubs In question beliovolu thonintto, "Kill tho

,f . the abovo ruling, rush at tho unfortunnto judge
!Ef of play from all purls of tbo Held. Not ono of

the first man to reach tho umpire grabs blm by

m "You're a common, everyday thief I" rours the
ak tough captain, "and I'll break yor jaw in a

An Ataenameat to Bntarso the V. . U. A.
Kieeutlve Committee.
Nothing has been heard as yet of the Mo-
Cullough amendment to place all tho clubs in
tho U, H. a. A. on an equality as to dues and tbo
right of voting, but action dovelopcd yesterday
In the matter of enlarging tho Kxccutlvo Com
mittee to meet tho lncroased responsibilities
consequent on tlio rapid growlh of the organiza
tion. Under the rules notice of amendments to
tho constitution, stating tho proposed revision,
must bo glvon to all assoclato and allied mem
bers ten days beforo tho annual meeting. This
meeting will bo held on Feb. 17, so thnt tliero is
but little moro tluio to send out the notices. In
accordance with tho r bio. Itobert Uage Korr, the
Secretary, sent out yeotorday tho following an
nouncements: ARTictE IV., Sxciiox 1. Any club located in an ac
cessible psrt of the UnlteU States, nhoso links, ac
commodations, constitution and bj-lanrs are such as
to mako It rcprascntatlre, Iball be eligible to mom,
bersnlp In the association as an associato club, and
may be admitted on a nve-ikevenths vote of the Ex
ecutive Committee of tbo ifewclatlun.
Sec. a. Any regularly organised golf club In the
Cntttd States may at anj tlmn be admitted as an
allied club, by a majority vote of the Executive Com
mittee, upon subscribing to and fuinillng the condi
tions of the association's constitution aud by-laws.
Articue VII., Skctioi 1. A.t tbe annual meeting the
association sball elect from tbe members of Its asso
ciate club a President, two Vice-Presidents, a Secre
tary, a Tieaturer. and tn o other members, who sball
together constitute the Executive Committee.
Sxc.il, Their election sball be br ballot at tbe an
nual meeting In each year. They shall be voted for
separately, and receive a majority of all the votes
cut to entitle tbem to an election, and they shall
continue In office one yew, or until their successors
are elected. In thn event of death, resignation, or
disability of any officer or this association or member
or the Executive Committor, the Executive Commit
tee may elect a succesior by a majority vote cast at
any regular or special meeting of the committee.
AhTicLK VIII.. Skctio 1. lus management of this
association shall be Intrusted to an Executive Com
mittee of Sfrren, consisting of the officers of the asso
ciation and two other members of usoctate clube.
flrcT!ox fi. Fear members shall constitute aquorum
of tbe Executive Committee.
Tho most important nmendmont is to Article
VIL At present tho 103 clubs aro ruled by tho
Ave officers vrho form the Sxccutlvo Commlt
teo. Thoy are: President, Laurence Curtis,
Iloston. Vice-Presidents, C. 11. MacDonald,
Chicago, and II. H. Thomas, Morris county;
Treasurer. Samuel Parrlsh. Shlnnecock Hills,
and Secretary, It, Bago Kerr, Lakewood. All
hnvo acccptod a renomlnatlon for tho com
ing year, except Samuel L. Parrlsh. O.
D. Fowle of tho Philadelphia Cricket
Club tins been named to succeed him.
The withdrawal of Parrlsh leaves this
State without representation on tho commlt
teo. Thero Is little doubt hut that tho amend
ment will pass and n New York man added to

Is a committeeman nt tho Oakland club, has
Played under Pernio nt Troon, nnd ho Is said
to havo urged tbo liny side players to en
gage him. W. J. Travis would neither confirm
nor deny the 'rumor yestorday. Since George
Ktrnth's departure to tho Wco Burn club Oak
land has been without a professional.
An invitation tourney will be held at the Bat
tusrol Golf Club on Feb. 12. In tho morning
thero will bo a handicap, at eighteen holes,

Inrubater Meeting of the Specialty Clubs.
It was a tiny of varied Incidents at tho Poultry
and Pigeon Show In Madison Hqttare Garden
yosterday. Tho judging tests wero chiefly the
comparisons of tho best breccia of )oultry, whllo
the pigeon judges wound up their classes. Tho
Hnvctnoyer brothers, as a compensation for their
downfall In whllo fnntnlls. swept the boards In
the colored variotlcs, nnd they also won a blue
ribbon for n unique white silky fantall, nnodd
typo. In the poultry classes Iho awards wero
pretty evenly divided between tho best-known
Eastern and Canadian fanciers. But tho minor
happenings of tho day mado tho most talk.
First of tho unusual happenings wns tbo ap
pearance nt tho main cntrnnca In tho early
morning hours of a typical Southern negrcss.
Sho had a rooster with her, wrapped up In
cloths, and sho demanded to sco tho boss of the
show. After a whllo II. V. Crawford, Secretary
of tho association, camo to tho door to interview
her.
"Massa," said tho woman, "Iso a chlckon
yoro all tho way from Georgia. Hits from a
strain dot nobberhas been whopped an' I jess
yearn to hnb these city folks sea kit. I h'aln't
got no money, Mr. Boss, but I'll bo mighty glad
of ycr gl vo this ycrc bird a chance."
Crawford could not resist this plea, so ho In
stalled tho bird In n vacant pen at tho Fourth
avenuo end of tho show and prcscntod a season
pass to tho woman, so that Bho might como
when sho ploasod and admlro ber pet, Tho bird
scratched nnd crowed doflnnco to ovcrythlng In
tho show for the rest of tho day, whllo the
negrcss hovered near by, roady to explain Its
good points to all. There was no number on tho
pen and tbo rooster was unllstod. The exports
pronounced it a half-bred Georgia shawl-neck
game, a once noted fighting strain.
F. Bardroff, a Washington oxhlbltor, who has
won nearly all tho bluo ribbons in pigmy pout
ers, found tho pon empty that had containod
his blue ribbon white roostor on his arrival at
the Garden yestorday. Investigation disclosed
that It had been stolen, and the association
promptly postod a reward of $25 for Its return
and the detection of the thief. Starting from
imported stock, it has taken Bardroff llvo yours
to breed his pigmies to their prcsont perfection,
and ho felt tho loss greatly, aside from tho
monoy value Tho bird was distinguished hy a
lino carriage and It was unusually closo booted;
that is, tho leg (cithers wore as snug and closo
as n stocking. Tho expertB think some snook
thief took tbe bird during tho bustle of closing
the show on Wednesday night. In tho hope of re
ceiving a roward for Its return.
The only silent specimens of tho feathered
kingdom at the show aro tho two great hornod
owls. With never a "Tu-whlt" or "Tu-whoo,"
tbe big-eyed birds gaze out calmly at the mor
tals who peer Into their pen, nnd so gravely as
to almost rebuke tho Idle nlcasuro-scekcrs. The
judges do not look ono-hnlf so wise.
The first fledglings of tho show popped out
In the Incubators yesterday morning, and there
after the arrivals wore frequent. There was
soon a flock of tho fluffy Infanta In each brooder,
where they hustled and fought onch other with
all their puny strength In the effort to get tho
best morsois of food. The chirpings of tbo
chicks nearly drowned tho trills of tho Bong
birds cagod near by, but the latter aro not bo
new to life nnd feel no inclination to warblo
much amid such surroundings. Thoro are 2,000
eggs duo to hatch this morning.
Now that tbo show Is nt high-water mark
and there hns beon an opportunity to compare
all the old and new varieties, tho fact still
stands out that tho black-breasted red gomes
deserve first placo In quality of all tho poultry
typos. They are not a bird for tho ordinary
breeder, for thoy require n grass run and havo
little domesticity In their traits, but tbeir valuo
when mature, or as broilers when young, fully
compensates for all tho trouble of raising them.
They have a shape llko a pouter pigeon, ana, at
six months old, are nearly all breast, n point
that lovers of whlto meat will appreciate.
Thero la only a small representation of tho
Dorking breed nt tho show, for, in spito of Its
many good qualities, this oldost of English
fowls is out of fashion, fluffs nnd whites In new
types aro the fashion. There is a line showing
of Houdans, but tho equally valuable French
breeds, tho Crovo Occurs nnd La Fieche, nro
suggestive rather than completo exhibits. The
horned combs of tho French breeds attract
much attention from tho children, who seem to
think tbero is somothlng uncanny in such queer
adornments.
Both the bluo ribbon cock and cockerel In tbo
Bit game classos are black-red games. I). G.
Ictneld's only bine ribbon has been won by a
red pile in the ben class, and tho old-timo sport
is full of wrath at tho world at largo, boglnnlng
with tho judges. Ono black-red stng. No. 1,055,
is shown In fighting trim. With close-cut hackle
and breast, and spurs bluntod for tbo gaffs, tbo
stag Is a tough-looking customer. In its de
nuded state this pit fowl suggests a cropped
headed pugilist, a comparison mude stronger by
tbe bulging shoulders revealed by tho trimmed
feathers. Tho exhibitor had his trouble for his
only reward, for the judges would not stand
for It.

Tho day was an ideal one for tho sport, and
the birds rose fast and strong against tho back
ground of glistening snow, notwithstanding tho
light breeze. The best shot of the day, however,
was mado by Joe Baker, who stopped a apeody
right quarterer with his second barrol just as

THE CALIFORNIA BITUATIOX.
Tbe flccFsalonlsta Will Abandon the Control or

Suspended Riders Are Itelnstated Western
Men Talk of Opposition to Potter Motes.
nenry Goodman of Portland, Or., a memberof
tho National Pacing Board of tho I-. A. W Is In
town. His territory ombraces California, whoro
the Sunday racing raovemont Is In progress, fa
talking with The St'.t reporter yosterday 1 o
discussed tho troubles on tho coast ns follows:
"When I went to tho Northwest last spring
tbe racing conditions wero very much mixed up.
In (he north California division tho movement
in favor of Sunday racing was at Its height.
Tho Associated Cycling Clubs.embrnclng twenty
fivo clubs, had a membership of about 3,000.
This organization controlled touring and road
racing, nnd when the L. A. W. refused to sanction
Sunday racing the Callfornlans decided to tako
up tho government of track racing. The Sun
day folks kopt things lively at the start. While
they lacked material for racing they were
sangulno thnt onco started their riders would
Increase In splto of all discouragements they
mado a. hard light. I know that their list of
professional riders only numbered seven, and
that Otto Zlcglcr. tholr star, stated that out of
cvcniaco mcots In which ho had competed,
winning fivo first prizes, his nverago winnings
amounted to about $150. Tholr purses wero
fictitious, as tho men rodo on tbo percentage
plan. At Portland, n hero I was locatod, affairs
ran smoothly until tho Callfornlans started out
to eccuro recruits. In August tho Associated
Clubs held a moot at Portland and lost $300.
"Tbo situation In the Northwest Is Just this.
Tho people are advocates of sport and recrea
tion on Sunday, and probably out of the entire
population not more than 10 per cent, would
tako exception to races on that day. Racing in
that section at Its best Is crude. Tho distance
between towns is a big disadvantage. Tako
Portland ns n point. Our nearest town Is
Tncoinn, 140 mllos away. Seattle comes next,
140 miles, and then Spokane, 4S0 miles. By this
you will readily see thnt all racing In our soc
tlon must be of a purely local oharacter. Again,
under the most favorable circumstances a suc
cessful meet cannot bo held becnuso tho patrons
or racing win not pay moro man no cents ad
mission and refuse to buy programmes.
" Track racing Is practically dead In California,
Thero nro no professional riders available, and
individuals and associations aro reluctant to
promoto meets which turn out unprotltably. In
spite of nil Iho conditions which exist against
the success of tho Sunday-racing movement, tho
newofUcor8 of tho Associated Clubs In California
declare that If tho U A. W. will grant local op
tion to them and reinstato all tho riders placed
under suspension, they will agree to abandon
the control of racing."
Tho officers and membors of tho Illinois divi
sion of the L. A. W. aro perfecting plans to
spring an opposition candidato at the Loaguo
meeting next week to defeat I. B. Potter for re
election as President. Exception is taken to
selecting an EaBtorn man for Treasurer, and
claims are advanced that tho Potter faction is
not disposed to extend a share of L. A. W,
patronage to tho Westerners. It has been do
cldod to bold ncaucusof Western delegates to tbe
National Assembly nt Chicago, on next Tuesday
night, whon plans will bo discussod to place In
nomination a candidate for tho Presidency.
Sterling Klllott of Massachusetts and some of
tho members of tho Pennsylvania division, it Is
said, will bo present, and In tbe ovent of It
being evident that Gcorgo Gldoon of Philadel
phia will not oppose Potter, It is expected that
Fred Gorluch of Chicago, an ex-momber of tho
Nationnl Pacing Board, will bo chosen to run
against Potter. Ono of tho Western dolcgatos
to tho ABsembly explains tho situation as fol
lows: "Had Potter allowed us to look after tho
Western States thoro Is not the sllghtost doubt
but they would havo gono solidly for him. Wo
hnd succeeded In harmonizing all discordant
olements, and everything was going along
smoothly when bo took the management out of
our hands nnd arranged tho tlckot to suit him
self. He has mado a fatal orror, I am afraid.
Wo can never consent to three of the best ofQceB
going to tbo East, Tho Illinois delegates intend
to meat to draw up a plan of campaign. Tho
Western States will Ilucly Bupport Illinois In
whatever action sho may take. I am not in
favor of running candidates against Keenan or
Hlncs."
In the annua report of the Chairman of tho
L. A. W. Itacing Board no suggestion or recom
mendation Is offered to nld in sending n team of
American riders to tho international champion
ships this yonr. Mott says: "It would bo emi
nently lit that the International championships
of 181)9 should beheld In North America, and
to attain that result It is desirable that an early
invitation bo sent to tbo International Cyclists'
Association by tho League of American Wheel
men, tho meet to tako placo cither in Canada or
tbo United States."
Tho Crescent Wheolmon of Plalnfleld, ono of
tho lending cycllni; organizations in NowJorecy,
hnvo bocomo involved in financial difficulties.
Several years ago tho organization constructed
n cemont track nt Plnlnllcld at a cost of $10,000.
This track will be sold to-day under foreclosure.
It was a failure, due to its distance from tbe
city. The club promoted tournaments where
tho leading amateurs and professionals rodo.
The organization may disband.
8everal candldntos are In the field for L. A. W.
handlcappcr for New Jersey this yoar. Charles
Norwood of Patorson, a friend of Chief Consul
Klrcker, has come forward as an applicant for
thoolllco, He intends to seek an appointment
from the Chairman of tbo National Itacing

years, la seeking a reappointment. The racing

members feci that the lattcr's connection with
cycle racing nnd long Bcrvico In the Leaguo will

A report was circulated yesterday that steps
may bo t.ikon to keep foreign pacing teams from

American racing 'promoters aro contracting
with a crew of foreigners to rldo in tho middle

tho referee. Instructed the players that nil con

bo adjourned.
Manson of Cutler and Lynch of Do La Sail
finished their gamo in fourteen moves. Tha
former handicapped himself sovcrely by tbs
opening which ho selected, and after trrelva
moves was in a losing position. Lynch finished
by a brilliant sacrifice of his queen, which
created much comment. LIbaIro of Do La Snllo
outplayed Brown of Cutler, and won an easy
victory. Hankinson of Columbia Grammar
played a good game against Wertbolmer. By a
winning combination it was thouorht he would
win tho framo, as he was a rook to tbe good. Ho
made a mistake. However, ana a draw was tlio
result. Kneels of Columbia Grammar proved a
better player than Arnatcln of Sachs, but the
latter mado a gallant light. Summary follows:
