SHAFTS FROM SPORTLAND
By GUS MALBERT.
So they are going to form a league
of Mot-folk, Portsmouth, Newport News
und Hampton >
Bully. Here's hoping the greatest
success In the world comes to the pro?
moters. Winn Clarke und Billy Han
noix are said to bo the promoter.;.
Just to show that I'm a sport, will
bet every nickel of my $3?U a week
that the new league ?iie;> u-bornliig.
Not a ehunce on earth for such an
organization, and It probably has orig?
inated In the mind of some malcontent
v\ lib has a grievance against the Vir?
ginia League.
In the first place it would have to
be outlaw baseball. And In the second
place there would be no money in it.
and the same reason holds in the third
und fourth and fifth places.
But welcome nevertheless. Organ?
ize the league by all means. It can't
hurt any one. and If. there is an in?
nocent individual whose facial growth
of sagebrush needs trimming, why
trim, .Minnie, trim.
The Virginia League is now tho
original home of peuce. Tranquillity
reigns supreme. Maybe there are a
few axes hid behind the frock coats
of the magnates, but they are being
carried in true, chivalrlc style, so no
barm is done.
Charlie Buhb writes hie from Mem?
phis that he is working hard, us ho
has a whole- new team to get logo h?r,
but that In- hopes to give Norfolk not
only a team which will be well up
In the race, but one which wilt re
tlc.ct credit upon the entire State.
Nice sentiments those, and l. for
one, believe that Babb will make good
Pity that by some oversight the
athletes from Richmond College were
not properly registered with the A.
A. U. From what, can bo learned, it
appears t]iat the local squad could
have cleaned uu the Maryland Aggies,
ugainst whom they wore matched.
Experience must be gained some
time, and It is well that the over
tight was discovered In time Now tho
Loys can get to work planning and
scheming to make the open air meet
In April the success which It should
bo and which It doubtless will be.
Local bowlers are now on edge.
Time for the big tournament Is rap?
idly approaching, and Captain Bllley
Is behind his men to keep them prac?
ticing all of the time.
I feel sorry for the man who has
been able to discover only twenty
three "hopes." Personally my record
has passed the clglity-tifth station.
However, ono must admire the sug- >
gestion that should Jack Johnslnu-1
break a nuck or an arm or a leg, there
are a number of eligible "black man's
'.'.opes" in Sam Langford, Joe Jean
Uctte.and Sam McVey.
Jcmes E. Sullivan, secretary of the
Amateur Athletic t'nlon. Is proposing
Bomb radical changes In the rules of
the organization.
In the first place he wants the dis?
trict registration committees done
away with, and one man substituted
instead. His reason, which appears
plausible, is that at present when
trouble arises there is continual shift?
ing of responsibility. With the one
man idea prevailing, all of this trouble
would be eliminated.
N<>:t he wants to prevent any ath?
lete from competing on any club until
two years shall have elapsed since his !
release from any other club. For this
chance he advances tho very good rea?
son that under the present system the
smaller clubs, alter they have trained
an," worked on an athlete and devel?
oped him, lose the man when lib is at
lit.- lost, because ot the greater ad?
vantages which can be offered by the
larger and richer clubs
He also advocates not allowing col?
lege athletes to engage in games as
u member of an organized club until
?fter their graduation from college
Most college men will subscribe to this!
amendment at once for the reason that!
athletes at college are always desired]
to race only under college colors.
Taken as a whole, Sullivan's sugges?
tions appear right and just. There Is
?auch question as to whether they will
be idopted, however, because of the
radical changes they would make.
Note that Bob Ponder and Bob Black,
both old Virginia League umps., aro
among the men on President Barrow's
stau nf umpires In the Eastern League
for this season. Good luck to both
of them, and may they not share Hill
Byron's fate.
it has been definitely determined to
hold the Army-Navy foothill game io j
Philadelphia next year, despite all of i
the talk to the contrary.
Pan Johnson, because of the trouble j
experienced last year in the Cobb-I
Lajolc dispute, has decided to return

Farns to name :is ofttolal scorer any !
new.spaper man in any town in which 1
there are opposition papers.
The piil>lic will see at a glance that
such an arrangements is manifestly
unfair to '.he papers which have not
the oitleial scorer on their stair. Foi
instance, it matters not how consci?
entious a man may he in scoring a
game, or how assiduous ho may be in
h's duty, there is little likelihood of
his being exactly of I he same mind
us Pflicht! acorer in every detail ol
the game;
If I).e otilcial scorer Is working for
an opposition paper the result would
be that that paper would print the ulll-.
Citti score, while the other newspapers'
would, by very force of circumstances,
be- wrong, yet there would be no evi?
dence to prove that the judgment of
tb? olliclal scorer was any better than
the judgment of the unattached scor?
ers.
The official scorer, except in towns
where there is but one newspaper,
: hoUld be an Independent individual,
who woulel either be- Instructed to keen
bis official figures secret until the end
of the season, or permit each man on
each paper to get a copy, fir compare
with the score- h?? has made. Under
any other conditions each of the papers
net having the official scorer would
!>e at a disadvantage,
T'ne salary utlacl Ing Is not sufficient
(o make It attractive to a newspaper
man who has other duties, and It would
v. oi l. no hardship to make the posi?
tion independent of the papers. The
only advantage to be gained out of
having a newspaper man as the ifflciul
scorer is to the paper employing fho
man, and this is a wholly unfair ad?
vantage. 1 hope that President Wil?
liams will read this and read It care?
fully, for it means a great deal tor
the success of the league.
Watch the way the Richmond Arii
ato?r League is going to run Its af?
fairs and then learn, ye magnates,

Frank Daniels will appear at the

c-ve-nlngs, in Charles piljinghahi'H
musical comedy production, "The <IirI
In the Train," which ban been the
musical rage of Furope for the past
year. Originally produced In Vienna.
?The Girl in the Train" (Die Geschie?
dene Frau), was Instantly translated
into a dozen different languages, and
has been a universal success. The
American version was made by Marry
B. Smith from the- German of Victeir
Leon (author of "The Merry Widow").
The music is by Leo Fall, the famous
composer of the "The Dollar Princess,"
and is said to be of a high order The
story is hilariously funny, the first act
showing Mr. Daniels as the presiding
judge In a divorce court, when a wife
sues her husband because he gave up
ids compartment in a sleeping car to
an actress under circumstances which
appear awkward. The large support?
ing company includes Sallie- Fisher and
Vera Micheiena, and there is a chorus
of sixty.

performed something that has never
been duplicated by the others, an uct
called the "Zampllliarostation." Two

New 1'ork, February 5.?Ordinarily
if a new messenger boy asked for a
day off almost the minute be started
work on Iiis new Job he would be in
danger of being "fired" for his failure
to realize the seriousness of business,
or if his "boss" were a man of anotbei
'?allbre he might be In line for Imme?
diate promotion for his colossal
"nerve." Vet, with apparent disre?
gard for his future, perhaps even
without having thought of the possible
consequenoles, just this program Is
being contemplated by Anthony J.
Drexel, Jr., son of Anthony J. Drexel,
of Ph'ladelphia. husband of Marjorio
Gould, soon-to-be-brother-in-law of
Lord Decles. He Is the latest recruit
to the long row of messenger boys In j
the brokerage ofllces of E. & C- Ran?
dolph, of 111 Broadway.
Mr. Drexel has only had his new job
for two days. Ho was put on the salary
list on Friday. He starts work at '.<
o'clock to-morrow morning. Asked by
a reporter whether his now activities
would 'ntorfero with the part planned
for him in the wedding festivities on
Tuesday, Mr. Drexel said that he
thought not.
"They can't," he said- "Why, I've
got to be an usher. I'll have to be
there."
He said, however, that he had not
asked for the "day off" as yet, but ru
appenred to think that he would be
able to get It. "al! right."
It is not with the Intention of mak?
ing work ar, a messenger boy his
career that Mr. Drexel is starting out |
in the wilds of Wall .Street to-morrow. I
A period of Initiation is all that he
contemplates. He Is going downtown
to learn the brokerage business, and,
like many another wealthy man's srn,
is going to begin at the beginning
and climb as far up the ladder as
competition and the world will let
him.
Mr. Drexel has already had four
years' experience In banking with the
firm of L>rexel & Co., of Philadelphia,
and he said last night that he wanted
to learn the brokerage business.
In answer to a question as to what
he intends to do when he has added a
knowledge of the brokerage business
to his banking lore he merely shrugged
his shoulders. At the time of Miss
Gould's marriage to him there was
much speculation whether he would
later take an interest 'n railroad af?
fairs, and possibly an active part in
the management of certain railroad
properties.

Bridegroom's Eighteen-Year-Old
Daughter One of Few Who
Witness Ceremony.
i The Ne-,v York World printed the
following In .is Sunday edition:
London, February I.? Mrs. Samuel
Sloan Chauneey, of New York, who
before mat riage was Alice Carr, a 1
daughter of Colonel Montgomery Carr, j
of Louisville, Ky.. was married quite '
privately to-day by special license in |
Christ Church, Down Street, Mayfalr,
to General the Honorable Cecil Bing
ham, lately in command of the First
Life Guards, and a brother of the Karl j
of Lucah.
The ceremony; short nnd'simple. was]
conducted by the Rev. Kniest Stafforo
Milliard, the rector of the church.
I There was no bridesmaid.
The bride t\ as given away by her
! brother-in-law, Lord Newborough, wild
married Grace Carr. She seemed to be
nervous, but looked extremely beautiful
in a dress of dove gray siik covered
with fine old Venetian point lace. Her
head dress was a fur toque, with feath?
ers. Stie wore a double necklace of
pearls, the gift of the bridegroom, and
a splenddi diamond ring.
Only about a dozen people were In
the church. Among those present were
Goneral B.tigham's eighteen-year-old
daughter and several other members
of the bridegroom's family. Lady Lis
I ter Kave and the Countess of Essex
j were the only Americans there.
I The marriage party went to church
I from the Kit/ Hotel. where .Mrs.
; Chauncey has been staying, having let
her house. There was no reception.
The bride and bridegroom left In
the afternoon for Paris, where they
will remain during the early part of
their honeymoon. Afterward they will
I make a southern tour, embracing
! Sicily and parts of Italy. They have
! not decided when they will return to
I Lonelon, but probably not for several
weeks. When they de> they will reside
in General BIngham's house. No. 13
Charles Street Berkeley Square.
General Bingham's first wife was n
slater of Lady Rodd. the wife of the
British ambassador at Rome, and of
Mut ray Guthrie. He has two son? <
and one daughter. His elder son.
Ralph Ringham, twenty-six years old.
is aide-de-camp to the Governor-Gen?
eral of Canada and a lieutenant in the j
First Life Guards. The second son,
David, twenty-four years old. Is a
lieutenant in the Coldstreum Guards.
By a singular coincidence announce*
mont was made to-day of the engage?
ment of his elder son to Dorothy, the
elder daughter of a son of Mrs. Roger
Pratt of Roystoh Hall. Norfolk.
. "Cis." as Genera) Blngham is fa?
miliarly called by his intimates, lias
been In love with Mrs. Chauncey for
a long time.
Ho is "a good fellow." remarkably
youthful for his years, is fond of golf
and other outdoor sports and is a
handsome, soldierly, distinguished
looking man. The post of colonel com?
manding the First Life Guards, which
he lately resigned to take. command
of a cavalry regiment, gave him a
?areat position socially.
When it becomes known that Mrs.
Chauncey has married again there will
be a great sensation in cosmopolitan
smart society, in which for sonic years
she has been one of the most admired i
and sought after American women.
From time ' to time it has been an?
nounced that she was engaged to dif?
ferent men of standing. Including Lord
R?sebery, Arnold Motley, former Cab?
inet minister and one of the wealthiest
bachelors in England, ami also Prince
Miguel Bra-ganzu. who afterward mar?
ried Anita Stewart.
Her house in Hertford Street. May
fair, has been the scene of several
splendid entertainments, though In the
last three years she has spent more
time abroad than in Kngtnnd.
Lord Blngham, the general's nephew,
married Miss Spendet Clay, whose
brother wedded Pauline Astor.

Famous Elosser-Twigg Case at
Cumberland, Md.. February "?.?The
Elosser-Twigg case lias caused another
sensation in Cumberland. .lohn W.
McConausby, a statt" correspondent of
tiie New York Evening Journal, was
arrested here shortly after noon yes?
terday nt the Instance of State's At?
torney David A. ftobh on two warrants
sworn out by the latter, charging crim?
inal libel.
Mr. McConaughy was taken to jail
and later released on a $-1.000 bond, fur?
nished by Colonel John W. Avlrett,
ed-itor and proprietor of the Cumber?
land Evening Times, and Frank Leo
Carl, city editor of the Cumberland
Dally News. The warrant says:
McConaughy did unlawfully and ma?
liciously write and publish of and con?
cerning David A. Robb. State'3 attor?
ney for Alleghany county, a certain
false, scandalous and malicious libel
imputing corruption and malfeasance,
and that ho (Robb? corruptly and un?
lawfully failed and desisted from per?
forming the duties of his office."
This action is founded on articles al
lcdceri to have been sent by Mr. Mc?
Conaughy to the New York Evening

Is alleged to have stated that States

Mr. McConaughy was taken before
Justice Jacob B. Ilumbird, and Cap?
tain Philip Roman, his attorney, de- |
mantled an immediate hearing. States
Attorney Robb, who was present, said
the State was not ready with its tes?
timony, whereupon Captain Roman
wanted to know upon what the war- I
rant was based, if tiie testimony was !
r.ot forthcoming; that Mr. Robb knew !
his witnesses and could have them in !
half an hour. Mr. Robb insisted on j
postponing a hearing. and Justice
Humbird agreed. Mr. Roman said that j
the charge did not warrant more than 1
Sf.na bond.
States Attorney Robb contended for a j
much heavier bond. He said the State
did not want the New York Journal's!
money, but it wanted the man. add?
ing:
"Here is a man from a big city. He
may go back there If the ball is light "
When Mr. Robp said the New York
Journal's money was not wanted Mr
