YOUNG TO DO THE WORK 3iAm: m;cri:tahy - thcasi ki;r, WITH OFFICII AT SKW YORK. Mr. Temple L'nvrllllnsv to Act as Pres ident on Account of Ruslness -War on IVnn Johnson. NEW YORK. April 3. National League executive power will this year be. vested In a triumvirate consisting of Presidents John T. Brush of the Cincinnati club, James Hart of the Chicago club and A. II. Soden of the Boston club. Mr. Brush is the chairman and will preside at the League meetings. This decision was reached late tonight after a long discussion between the managers following the receipt of a telegram from W. C. Temple, of Pittsburg, declining the tender of the presidency of the League mde by vote of the managers twenty-four hours before. To-night's session was a long one. A playing schedule was adopted, but was not made public In full. It probably will be given out to-morrow. Chairman Brush said, however, that the League season will open April 17. New York will open at home on that date, playing with Philadelphia. That night both trams will go to Philadelphia, where Philadelphia will open on the lith. Then both teams return to NewYork, where they will play on the 19th. Brooklyn opens In Boston on the 17th. Boston comes to Brooklyn on the 18th, and Brooklyn goes back to Boston for the final of the three games on the 19th. Pittsburg opens in St. Louis on the 17th, and on that date Chicago opens in Cincinnati. Soon after the meeting began N. E. Y'oung handed in his resignation as president of the League, thus giving a chance for the appointment of the executive committee. The offices of president and secretary and treasurer were made separate ones, and Mr. Young was then elected secretary and treasurer. He will come to New York at once and open his office here for the transaction of League business. The Spalding ba!l was adopted for League jIay during the coming season. The present trouble with the American Leagiie was gone over at some length and It was ueclded that the National magnates will make strenuous war ugainst the American men. They will make a fight to get all players back that have "Jumped" to the American League by paying big money for them. The meeting adjourned subject to the call of the executive committee. Mr. Temple declined the presidency of the league on account of pressure of private afTalrs. The baseball managers had been In session for some time to-day, and were busily engaged in committee work when Mr. Temple's dispatch was received. The text of it follows: "N. E. Young, Chairman of the National league: "Express to the League my high appreciation of their confidence In me. but health und business both prevent my acceptance. "Y. C. TEMPLE." The declination was a severe blow to the magnates and all expressed disappointment. It necessitated going over again the whole ground of the selection of a governing head WEATHER FORECAST.

for the League. It was this question and the adoption of the playing schedule that occupied the time of the magnates to-day. During the morning and afternoon tho work discussed in the committee referred to the schedule and the bids for an official ball. The schedule committee spent many hours discussing the subject of dates, having three propositions before it. Its deliberation resulted in the rejection of all three and a determination to draft a new one to present to the conference. Chairman Young announced the following appointments of umpires for the coming reason: Robert Emslle. "Hank" O'Day, Tom Brown and Joseph Cantillon. An appointment was offered to Thomas Lynch, but he refused It.

TEAM IS ABOUT FULL. Matters of Basehall Interest nt Terre Haute BroTcn'is Status. Special to th Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE. Ind., April 3.-The arrival of Pitcher Hackett and Catcher Starnagle not only removes any doubt as to where they will play this season, but nearly completes the list of arrivals for the Terre Haute Three-I League team. Ace Stewart, captain of the Omaha team, with Fielder Carter, of the same team, who was loaned to Terre Haute last year, and Pitcher Brown, of Terre Haute, left for Omaha to-day, but Crown will have to return here unless Omaha pays for his release. President Sexton, of the Three-I League, writes that he hag laid the facta before the secretary of the national association, and the secretary replied that Brown belongs to Terre Haute. Urown Is the coal miner who was picked up by Terre Haute last season, and was the star pitcher of the team. Pitcher Sample, who spent the winter here, left yesterday to join the Chicago National League team at Champaign. Did -Not Go 0 St. Louis. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind.,' April 3.-The St. Paul baseball club did not go to St. Louis tonight, owing to a message from that place saying It was raining. It will go to-morrow night and will play on Saturday and Sunday. Theologians to Play. NEW HAVEN, Conn., April 3. The students of the Yale Divinity School have for the first time In the history of the department organized a baseball nine and have secured the faculty's permission to play a schedule of games. 1 m It EG L LA II PRACTICE I1EGIXS. Manager Wntkln Given Ills Players Tun Hours Work. The sixteen ball players now in the city and Manager Watklns gathered on the Washington Park ball field yesterday afternoon and, notwithstanding it was Just a little chilly. Manager Watklns gave the Hoosier candidates two hours of very fast work. All but the pitchers were kept at practice during the entire two hours and there were lively times. The men acted like a lot of colts that had been kept In stables all winter and then put out on an open field. They cantered around the park and worked out the kinks that had accumulated during the winter months. The field was in good condition and the players were assigned to position to try them out. The pitchers were given a few minutes each at tossing the ball to the batters. They all acted as If they had been practicing for a month. The men In the infield gathered in the grass cutters that were batted to them with perfect ease and they threw to first with great accuracy. Double plays were frequent, the men handling the ball better than the base runners acquitted themselves. The players In the outfield did not shirk their work and Manager Watklns was well pleased with the candidates for those positions. Kihm, Myers. Fox. O'Brien and Babb covered the infield positions and they won the admiration of Manager Watkins. He declared that Indianapolis will have the fastest infield of any team in the American Association, and. in addition to their fielding qualities, they have accomplishments with the bat. The two new arrivals yesterday were Miller and Hennessey. Club owners and players alike did a lot of wishing yesterday, and all for warmer and fair weather. The players are anxious to try conclusions with the Cincinnati team to-morrow afternoon. It will be the first game of the season and the Hoosiers are anxious to show their worth by winning the contest. Sutthoff. Miller, Williams and Davis will probably do the twirling for Indianapolis and Woodruff and Teal will be used behind the bat. Kihm will probably play first. Indianapolis goes to Cincinnati Surday for three games. BILLY STIFFT BESTED. Tommy Ryan Awarded the Decision at tbe End of the Hont. KANSAS CITY, April 3. Tommy Ryan got the decision over Billy Stifft, of Chicago, at the end of a ten-round bout in Turner Hall to-night. Stifft was much outclassed. Ryan was the aggressor throughout and he landed upon the Chicago man at will. The first three rounds were tame, Ryan adopting his usual tactics of feeling his mm in the early rounds. Stifft was much the heavier, and Ryan was unable to get in a blow with sufficient steam to knock out his opponent or even to knock him down. Stifft's tactics indicated that he was merely trying to stay the ten rounds. He clinched repeatedly and In the last round hung on to Ryan to consume time. In the fourth round Ryan landed some stiff body blows that distressed StlfTt, and it then looked as though the latter could not last to the end of the contest. But the Chicago man came up fresh for the next round and made his best showing in the fifth and sixth rounds. He landed a hard right on the jaw and followed It up with a left to the body in the fifth. In the sixth round he gave Ryan three hard ones in the face and neck. Ryan tried hard to knock his man out In the last two rounds. He made a hurricane fight of it and landed a dozen hard blows on the body and In the face, but none of them had the effect he desired. Henry Baker, of Chicago, was referee. Pugilist "Tommy White" Dead. PHILADELPHIA, April 3. Tommy Hornketh, known In pugilistic circles as "Tommy White." who was knocked unconscious on Saturday. March 29. in a bout with Tommy Markley at the Knickerbocker Athletic Club, died this afternoon at the Presbyterian Hospital, to which institution he was taken after the fight. Knocked Out by English.

Joplln Baseball Player Who May Herenfter Pose as n Hero. JOFLIN. Mo.. April 3. Dick Bayles. a member of the Joplln baseball team, proved himself a hero to-day by saving the lives of nine men at the Wolcott mine on the Missouri lead and zinc tract. Fire started in the hoister house. The holster man became confused and was unable to render assistance to the eleven men underground. Bayles. who was employed In the engine room, came to the rescue and pulled out nine of the men-through smoke and flame before he was overcome with exhaustion. The rescued men pulled up the two remaining men just as the hoster house collapsed. Slow Torpedo Boat Destroyers. SAN FRANCISCO.

MANY MISSED A BIRD

ONLY FI STHA FTY-FOlIt SHOOTERS WITH IGI1T SCORES ARE LEFT. LJkMj-N lue Found the Pace Too Fast or II W ntl 111 Lock Yesterdayomen Out of the Race. KANSAS CITY. April 3. At the close of the second day of the Grand American handicap at the Blue River Park the number of wing shots with straight scores had been materially reduced. Of the 143 who had not missed a bird when the shooting stopped yesterday eighty-nine dropped out to-day, leaving fifty-four who still have a straight score. Forty-four of the fifty-four high men have shot sixteen rounds. When the shooting stopped this evening there were fifty-six men who had shot twelve rounds, and among them were ten with a straight score. On account of the rain during the early part of the day the shootdid not start until 11 o'clock and darkness came before all the shooters could make the round of the four traps twice. The fifty-six shooters who did not finish the sixteen rounds to-day will be the first to face the traps to-morrow. There will be many withdrawals to-morrow and the race may be decided before the day is over. Ihe weather to-day was disagreeable and it had much to do with the scores that were made. It was a cold, raw day and the shooters were thoroughly chilled. A hard northeast wind blew across the park, and unless a high flyer was hit hard it was blown out of bounds. The birds were fast and hard to bring down. Great interest was centered in the shoot-

Crosby, who Is shooting in perfect form, grassed all of his birds with ease and used only one barrel on several of them. Gilbert also has a straight score up to date, but he had two narrow escapes to-day. His tenth bird, a strong left quarterer, was blown against the boundary net and luckily fell Inside. One of his birds was a fast straight outfiyer and in shooting at it both barrels of his gun were discharged at once and it was called "no bird." He missed it and would have had a difficult shot for a second barrel. Elliott, the Kansas City crack, missed his tenth bird. The wind was blowing a gale and the bird, a left quarterer, went over the left boundary like a fiash. Mrs. S. S. Johnson, of Minneapolis, who has won many admirers at this tournament, had a straight score at the end of the rinth round, but she lost her tenth and twelfth birds. Annie Oakley, did not miss a bird to-day, but she failed to make a straight score yesterday. "Wenonah" (Mrs. Lillian Smith), the other woman participating in the shoot, missed thro birds to-day. Among those who failed to keep up their record of straight kills were J. S. Fanning, of Jersey City, N. J.; Chris Gottlieb, of Kansas City; George Tucker, Brenham, Tex.; Walter Spencer, St. Louis; W. A. Raker, Griffin, Ga.; Farmer Rurke. Elgin, Neb., and C. E. Crosby, Ofallon, 111. Farmer Uurke has killed every bird he shot at since the tournament began Monday, until he faced the traps in the ninth round to-day. He missed his ninth and twelfth birds. Baker, of Georgia, was considered a possible winner by many of the Southerners until he missed his tenth bird. Among those "who will have a straight score, betides Crosby and Gilbert, are Ed Banks, of New York; Sim Glover, of New York, and R. O. Heikes, of Dayton, O. As there are pixty-three moneys to be divided it is certain that all of the winners will not have a straight score, but no one who kills less than twenty-four birds will rerclve any part of the purse. Those who have a straight score are: W. H. Herman, Kansas City; R. W. Cool, Aledo, 111.; H. B. Hill, Aurora, Ind.; Guy V. Deming, Columbus, Wis.; C. G. Spencer, St. Louis; W. A.

PHILADELPHIA, April 3.-Just as quickly as the laws of the commonwealth will allow justice will be meted out to William H. Lane, the colored butler who, on Tuesday, killed Miss Ella J. Jardon, otherwise known as Mrs. Ella J. Furbush, and her ten-year-old daughter Madeline and probably fatally shot the seven-year-old child Eloise for the purpose of robbery. Lane was captured four hours after ha committed the deed, was formally arraigned the next morning and to-day was committed to prison to await the action of

the grand jury, which late this afternoon returned two Indictments against him for murder. The court immediately assigned counsel to legally defend him. and his trial will begin and end to-morrow. In -his arraignment bvfor? the grand jury Lane pleaded guilty to the two charges. It is the intention of the district attorney to immediately send the case to the Governor, who. under the law, fixes the date of the execution at not less than thirty days from the date of sentence. If the intentions of the law officers are carried out it will be the quickest case of conviction and execution of the sentence of death in this State. The condition of the child Eloise to-night is critical.

LIKE A FOOTBALL GAME S. II. S. AMI CltAWFOimsVILLK GIRLS PLAY' FAST BASKETBALL. Shortridge Won After u Hard L'phlU FlRht Ethel Horsey Played AVell for Local Team. The Shortridge girls basketball team defeated the Crawfordsville five in the most exciting and best played girls' contest ever seen in this city yesterday afternoon In the German House gymnasium. The score was 12 to 11. A large crowd witnessed 'the game and there was much enthusiasm, especially in the last half. Both teams played a very fast game and each displayed excellent team work, although the local five showed the result of good coaching more than their opponents. In the first half the visitors put up a better game than Shortridge and it looked as if they would win.. The latter experienced bad luck In throwing goals, both from field iJ f x if- v Kush. W. A.

The hnlf closed with the score 7 to 2 in favor of the visiting team. The second half was exceedingly exciting and both teams playwd a fast game, which at times closely resembled a football game. Fouls were frequent, some, how ever, being the result of the foul line rul, by which the girls played. A difficult field goal by Rachel Baker put Shortridge in hailing distance of the five from Crawfordsville and the excellent "rooting" of her fair supporters gave the blue and white team encouragement, so that after some fine team work, in which Ethel Dorsey, Rachel Baker and Laura Zwick were prominent, the score was tied. It was at this prlod of the contest that the play was fastest and the excitement at a high pitch. However, the local five showed better staying powers than their opponents, who appeared exhausted. Ethel Dorsey threw a pretty goal from field, which put her team one to the good and time was soon called. It is hard to distinguish who did the best playing, although the work of the Indianapolis guards was superior to that of the visitors. Miss Hutchinson, of the Crawfordsville team, probably put up the best game for her team, while the playing of Rachel Baksr and Ethel Dorsey was the best on the Shortridge side. Alice Warder took the place of Jessie Hutchinson near the close of the last half and did well. Following is the summary: Shortridge. Position. Crawfordsville. Gladys Nehrbas.

Carter, ex-captain of engineers in the United States army. Is seriously and probably fatally ill in the federal penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth. He has typhoid fever, and this evening his temperature was IOSVj. Carter's only fear is that he will die before his affairs are arranged. He sent an urgent telegram to his attorney, Mr. Stone, of Chicago, asking him to come at once. There is a suit now pending wherein this government is trying to obtain possession of Carter's property, claiming It Is part of the booty he secured while In charge of government contract work at Savannah, Ga. This will really amount to a civil trial, the thing Carter has made repeated but vain efforts to seenre. Carter says he wants Attorney Stone here so he can finish preparing the brief. Then Carter says the fight for his vindication can be carried on after his death should his illness prove fatal. Carter's relatives and the attorney probably will arrive to-morrow.

EASTERN MEN DEFEATED

MINCIH WINS FIRST GAME IX POLO CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES. Lowell's Heavy Players Are Outplayed by the Speedy Royals Grent Crowd Sees Contest. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, Ind., April 3. Eastern newspapers had prophesied a score of 1C0 to 1 in favor of Lowell, Mass., in the polo games between the Eastern champions and Muncie's Western champion team, but the first game played to-night resulted in a score of six to four In Muncie's favor. More than 3.000 persons packed the Auditorium and they were almost wild at the end of the gume. Muncie led off and was never headed by the speedy Easterners. Fifteenminute innings were played. Score: First Inning Higgins scored for Muncie In 5 minutes and 27 seconds, again in 13 seconds, and yet again in 5:43. Hart scored for Lowell in 4:45. Second Lewis scored for Lowell In 4:02. Muncie failed to score. Third Tarrant scored for Muncie in i:20; Higgins, 3:44; Jean for Lowell. 3:25; Lf-wls for Lowell, 2:20; Iliglgns, :1S. Final score, 6 to 4. The speed of Higgins and Tarrant, especially Higgins, was too much for Lowell. Cussick, in Muncie's goal, did his most brilliant work, and Ellis In center and Wolfe at half back were not outclassed by the Easterners. It was the first game for Ellis since he was injured three weeks ago. Captain Becson was on the bench. Anderson and Richmond polo enthusiasts were well represented in the crowd. Muncie "rootPOLO TEAM. 4 x3 2f r ? X . .v .-..-V.V' ',-.Vi.,..,.VA'. '. IIOLI)F.KNES, Half Back. EUGENE HART, Second Rush. ers" are to-night making even bets that Lowell will not win a game. After Muncie had won a decided victory over Anderson, Richmond and Racine, Wis., in the West, Manager Walter Petty, of the Muncie team, issued a challenge for a series with the team that won the championship in the American League, and after an exchange of letters Manager Parsons and his team came West. There Is a striking difference in the appearance of the Muncie and Lowell teams, the visitors being much larger. Weight is a necessity in the East, where the regulation floor is much smaller than in the West, and the game of blocking is played. Muncie's much lighter team has more speed, and on a large fioor the small men glide around the Easterners, thereby avoiding the handicap of superior weight. Manager Parsons Is an old player, working in any position, and during this season he was compelled to play In the goal, owing to an accident that put Fox out of the game. Richmond and Racine were invited to entertain Lowell on the trip West, but the managers of these two teams were afraid of the great expense account. Manager Petty is showing appreciation of the big patronage of the past season by assuming the great expense of bringing Lowell here for the series. It was desired that the teams play on Sunday evening also, but the Ministerial Association threatened to prosecute and the plan was abandoned. KIEL REGATTA PROGRAMME. Race and Dinners, Breakfast and "Beer Evenings." BERLIN, April 3. The programme for the regatta at Kiel this summer is published to-day. There will be thirteen races between June 26 and July 4, with supplementary events in adjacent waters lasting until July 14. There will be a series of dinners, breakfasts and "beer evenings" at Kiel, Luebeck, Travemuende and Warnemunde. Emperor William and most of the princes will attend the regatta. Disappointment i3 expressed that no American yachts have been entered for the priaes offered by Emperor William and Admiral Prince Henry of Prussia. Yachts can be entered for the races until June 6. The programme expressly sets forth that members of American yacht clubs may enter their boats at Kiel. Such a specific statement is not made in the case of any other nationality. All the best accommodations at Kiel for the regatta have long since been engaged. The extraordinary interest taken by Emperor William in yachting has this year drawn to this port many persons of fashion who were not previously interested in it. Where Golf Will lie Played. CHICAGO, April 3. Delegates from fourteen golf, clubs of the middle West, comprising the Western Golf Association, met to-day at the Grand Pacific Hotel and decided that the Western amateur championship tournament for men should be held at the Chicago Golf Club at Wheaton. 111., and that for women at the Onwentsia links at Lake Forest, 111., the dates to te set by the directors. A new rule was adopted specifying that thirty-two players shall qualify in amateur championship games, instead of sixteen, as heretofore. This will necessitate the tournaments lasting four days. The regular slate of the following officers was elected: William Holablrd, Glenview Golf Club, president; Edward P. Martin. Belmont, vice president; E. C. Potter. Midlothian, secretary, and Allan L. Reid, Chicago, treasurer; directors. William Wallor, Onwentsia; Frank B. Meade, Euclid Golf Club, Clieveland; L. T. Boyd, Milwaukee. M. Doran, Town and Country Club, St. Paul. Minn., and George S. McGrew, Glen Echo Golf Club, St. Louis. Automobile Rae Kor bidden. NEW YORK, April 3. Great Indignation has been caused among French automoblllsts by the news Just received, says the Paris correspondent of the Herald, that Signor ZanardeiU. the Italian premier, has issued orders prohibiting the Nice to Abas-

zla automobile race on Italian territory. Yesterday the prefect of Conl. the last stage on the way to Turin, issued a decree forbidding the race on territory under hi Jurisdiction. French automobillsts held an indignation meeting In Turin and sent a telegram to the premier, requesting him to annul the prefect's decree. Instead of doing so. Signor Zanardelll went further than the prefect and forbade the race on the whole Italian territory. As the French authorities had suppressed it on French soil, nothing Is now left but Austria.
