ENTRIES AT BENNING Runners To Go On The Washington Traclc For Betton Today, Following are the entries for today at Beunlng: NATIONAL KAY COME HERE Edward Hanlon Admits That It Has Cast Sheep's Eyes This Way. That the National League was at least considering the plan of placing a club In Baltimore next season is confirmed by Manager Edward Hanlon, of the Brooklyn club. When asked the direct question as to the possibility of a club here, Mr.

Hanlon last night said: I know only that a number of influential club owners of the (National League are much in favor of a 12-club league, and, if it can be arranged, the League will go back to 12 clubs. Three of the four clubs could be arranged for If the fourth "was in sight. We will know more about It after our meeting next mouth. "It is generally conceded now that the league made a big mistake in ever abandoning Baltimore and Washington, and many of the club owners would like to get back on the 12-club basis. With 12 clubs the whole territory was covered, and if there had been no reduction the Amelia can League could never have gotten into the East, and probably would never have thought of doing so.

The reduction gave Johnson his opening. I was always opposed to it, but we were forced into it." Mr. Hanlon said he bad accepted Pitcher Carrick's terms and had sent him a contract. Asked if he would not like to have big Bill Lange, the once famous Chicago outfielder, who was quoted as saying recently he would not mind playing again, Mr. Hanlon shook his head emphatically and said: "No; I want none of the boys that are looking out for the coin alone.

That is all Lange would be playing for. The American League teams are loaded up pretty heavily with that sort of men, and I saw them play some pretty bad baseball last season. "I signed a lot of young, ambitious men, with reputations to make, and will try to make up a team of that sort next year. They are the only kind that a manager can get any teamwork out of in these times." Hanlon May Get Carrlck Yet. Toledo, Ohio, Nov.

16. Frank Carrick, who pitched for the Washington American League last year, recently signed a contract to play with the Toledo American Association Club for $350 a month. On Saturday Carrick asked Manager Strobel to rescind the contract, as he had been offered $2,400 by Manager Hanlon to play with the Brooklyn National League Club next season.

A. Bilkovsky. Rev. Anthony Bilkovsky, pastor of the Unlversallst Church, preached yesterday upon "The Leadership of Jesus Christ." In part he said: "Religion is a program to live by, and therefore the supreme need Is for a leader. In fact, leadership Is the supreme need of man, not alone In spiritual matters but in practical affairs.

"Great events, and even historic epochs, usually boar the name of some man this" ls man's Instinctive recognition of the value of leadership. "Our generation's greatest leaders have been workers In the world of Industry ours is the Industrial age. To be a great Industrial people we must have great industrial leaders. Carnegie is the Csesar of manufacture. Such men are born, not made.

He is the Vulcan of his era a master on the material side of life. His tools were fire, iron, steam and steel. -He and the hcrst about him are indispensable factors in a nation's Industrial life. "Morgan embodies another side of our industrial life the commercial. Morgan Is the Napoleon of commerce.

This man flashes upon the imagination of millions as the imperial Impersonation of the power of man. He is the central figure In the commercial drama, whose climax is to be the crowning of Uncle Sam as the commercial monarch of the world! Yet it must be remembered that Mr. Morgan is no trust; he la a man. His place and his work are the results of his forceful and persuasive personality and of his consummate commercial generalship he is a leader In every deed. "But there is another potent power In our industrial life labor.

Mitchell has stepped forth as the champion of labor, the embodiment of which is living and humane. If Carnegie is the Caesar of manufacture, Morgan the Napoleon of finance and comroerce; then Mitchell is the Lincoln of labor. He has attracted the attention of the civilized world, and for the time at least is the compeer of industrial kings and commercial Imperialists. Why? Because he has been a sane, safe, wise, peace-loving leader of men. What else has made these men successful? They have been faithful to the counsels of a devoted leader.

"Why has the cause of labor failed so constantly in the past? There have not been devoted leaders and devoted followers. The union of these two factors is what gave the mlneworkers their power in the strike. The generalship of Mitchell and the unswerving loyalty of his followers points out the way to labor's emancipation capacity and fidelity. Let jevery worker take heart. "Jesus is our spiritual leader because He was the world's one spiritually successful man.

Within each of us is the possibility to live as He lived, to do what He did. His triumph is the pledge of our triumph. With Him as our Leader humanity can march through hunger, worldly temptations, fatigue of the soul, to the eternal realities of trust, love, faith, heroism, moral and spiritual likeness to Him."

Strahan. That Defeat Of Princeton And What It Shows. YALE AND HARVAED NEXT The Bine Seems To Have The Call Army-Navy Contest Also Forecast By Latest Battles Poor Old Penn, To the great grief and surprise of Princeton's rooters and backers and well-wishers, the Tigers, after one of Princeton's most brilliant seasons on the gridiron, were made to bite the dust on Saturday to the all-conquering warriors from Yale. It is perhaps not too much to say that had the Princeton-Yale games of the past half dozen years taken place a month earlier in each Instance the Tigers would in all probability have taken five out of the six, Instead of only two, Yale having won the last four in succession. Every year for the past four the Princeton team has seemed to reach its greatest strength, a few weeks before the game with Yale, and then get stale, or crippled, or "go back" for the big contest.

On the other hand, Yale develops slowly, and every, year seems to reach Its very best form on the minute of the battle with old Nassau's canvas-clad knights. 1 This was true this year. Yale played its very best game of the' season Saturday, while Princeton seemed tired and not in its best form. Besides that Princeton lacked two of her best men, Kaf er and Burke having been injured some weeks ago. It was little wonder Old Ell won by 12 to 5.

Had the game been played a month ago the result would probably have been reversed. Two more games of national Interest are still to be played In the East, the Yale-Harvard game and the West Point-Annapolis battle. A fortnight ago it looked very much as If the Harvard team of this year was almost as far ahead of all the other teams as last year's Crimson team was. But while Yale Is at her best Harvard seems to have retrograded rapidly, judging from the game with Penn, which was won by her 10 to and the Dartmouth game of Saturday, which was 17 to 6. Unless Harvard can do better than these scores show she will have little chance with the lusty Elis.

As has occurred nearly every previous Saturday this season. West Point showed surprising strength on Saturday, while Annapolis showed disappointing weakness. The soldier boys beat Syracuse 46 to 0. Syracuse had beaten'Wiiliams and had been beaten by mighty Yale only 24 to 0. Thus West Point not only tied Yale, but rolled up nearly twice as large a score on Syracuse as Yale had done.

On the other hand, the Middles were beaten by Bucknell 23 to 0, although Yale beat Bucknell 36 to 5, and even poor old Penn beat Bucknell. In the face of these results what possible chance can the Navy have to beat West Point? At Union Park Saturday a great game was played between the Baltimore Medical College and the Maryland Athletic Club teams, the Meds winning by a score of 12 to 5. It was a great contest, such a one as has rarely. If ever, been equaled here, but. if reports are true, there were professional players on both sides men who, though worthy enough in every way, had no right to play In an amateur contest.

It was claimed that there were two players from Connie Mack's professional team the Medicals' team, and that these caused the defeat of the Maryland Athletic Club. There were counter charges of professionalism, but in any case, if either were true, the game was no fair test of skill between the two organizations. St. John's light team played a good game against the heavy Gettysburg team and Western Maryland beat the Agriculturists. Poor old Penn, which seemed to brace up in the Harvard game, was walloped again, this time by the Carlisle Indians.

The principal scores of Saturday were: At Princeton, N. J. 12; Princeton, 5. At Cambr-'dae, Mass. Harvard, 17; Dartmouth, 6.

At West Point. N.Y. West Point, 48: Syracuse, 0. At Ithaca, N. Y.

New York, Nov. 16. Blue or Crimson which will it be when Yale and Harvard line up on the gridiron at New Haven next Saturday? This Is the question that is interesting the football world at present, and It Is the question, too, on which, the undisputed gridiron championship of the East for 1902 depends. Yale's game with Princeton seems to many to afford a satisfactory answer to the question. Even now, with the big contest still five days off, Yale' is unquestionably the favorite.

Tale's game against Princeton demonstrated that the Yale coaches were right la assuming that Yale's strength In several departments quite lived up to their expectations. While there is confidence at New Haven, the reverse is true at Cambridge. Harvard played possum last season, with, constant discouraging reports emanating from the coaches and orders for the eleven not to attempt to roll up big Bcores. But this year the Idea that the Crimson has been concealing its real power for strategic purposes was destroyed on Saturday when the Cambridge men had difficulty in winning from Dartmouth. The only reasonable construction that may be put on the Harvard-Dartmouth game is that Harvard played to the limit of her power and showed that that limit Is not such as to create any fear of the Crimson over at New Haven.

TIGEES LET OUT A SQUEAL Inclined To Blaine Umpire Daslilell For Allowing: Certain Plays. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. New York, Nov. 16. Despite Yale's great football victory over Princeton, in which Eli was manifestly superior to Nassau, Princeton students today found cause for complaint In the decision of Paul Daslilell, of Johns Hopkins, the umpire.

In regard to several plays in Saturday's contest. According to the Princeton students, both of Chadwlck's runs, which resulted In Yale's winning scores, should not have been allowed. In the case of first Ell tally Princeton men say tnat there was holding In the line by Yale's playe'rs, and that Mr. Dashlell should have brought back the ball to the spot whence the run began. As regards the second score, according to the Nassau men, Shevlln, Yale's right end, openly tripped Davis, Princeton's left end and captain.

Football men who saw the game agree that Princeton's complaints are ill founded. They assert that the game was rough and that there was plenty of holding, tripping and punching, but that both sides were equally guilty. Defeated Players Still Alive. Princeton, N. Nor.

16. Apart from some knocks and bruises, the Princeton players all came out of the game yesterday In good condition and were today able to move about as easily as ever. The feeling among the undergraduates Is that Yale justly earned the game, but Borne adverse criticism Is expressed over some of Umpire Da-shlell's rulings. The election of a captain for next season will be held some evening this week and most probably Captain Davis will be the unanimous choice. In the event of his refusal DeWitt and Henry will be the candidates, with the former slightly the favorite.

Yale Players Lost 10 Pounds Each. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore" Sun. New Haven, Nov. 16. An official of the Yale football team returning tonight stated that in yesterday's game the players averaged a loss In weight of about 10 pounds.

Mr. Charles Kelly, the manager and legal guardian of Tommy Love, the boxer, who failed to box Tommy Feltz last Wednesday night at Music Hall, left Philadelphia yesterday for Chicago to bring his boy East to meet Feltz on Tuesday, December 9. Mr.

Kelly Is greatly disturbed over the reports of cowardice on Tommy's part, and says he will post a forfeit of $500 for Love's appearance the next time and will also let the forfeit go as a side bet that Love whips Feltz. Love himself also repudiates the charge of "cold feet," and says he will show his friends he is not afraid of any man of his class who Is In the ring today, lie adds that If It had been possible for him to get here In time to box Feltz it would have been the greatest pleasure he ever had to show that he Is really the champion In his class. Love wishes to clear Mr. Barrett, the manager of the Eutaw Athletic Club, of all blame for his non-appearance, as the match was made by Mr. Barrett In good faith, and when Love comes to this city he will explain all.

This is all very pretty, for, while nobody believes that Mr. Barrett was In any way to blame, the boxer who has a chance to fight a champion and get the title for himself has no- business to be absent from his place of business. It will need bushels of explanation, and even then the public will not be satisfied. Fighter Receive Their Friends.

Trainer Biggs, who has handled Bird Eye for the last two or three years and drove him to his record, says: "He has a fine disposition and Is truly a good horse, but too high class a race horse to be put on the road. I consider him as good a 2.15-class trotter as can be found in this country. No truer race horse ever turned for the word; no gamer one lives. I have driven him a mile in 2.09 over Pimlico track, and he can do it again." "Work-Outs For Races.

Walter Ancker, of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, a gang of men will begin this morning the work of rolling a warehouse built of corrugated Iron and weighing about 100 tons, which now stands on an iron pier at Locust Point, near the Black, Sheridan Wilson coal pier, off the pier and 400 feet back from the water. The building, which is 300 feet long by 40 wide, will be moved intact by means of jackscrews and rollers. It is moved to make room for the new North German Lloyd pier which Is to be built close by. After having been moved backward It will be rolled over as close to the coal piers as possible and back from the water front. The iron pier which forms its foundation will be demolished and the piles pulled up.

All the work will be done by hand and the task will engage 20 or 25 men probably two weeks. There are 19 large posts which support the building. They will be connected by heavy timbers about three feet from the floor. The Jackscrews will be placed under these. First one side will be raised a fraction cf an inch and then the other, until the building is sufficiently far from the floor to admit of the placing of the rollers heavy pieces of gaspipe, five inches in diameter and three feet long-under it.

When the rollers have been placed a block and fall, operated by a winch, will be called Into play to start the structure on its short Journey. As a roller is uncovered by the building In its movement backward it will be carried to the front and placed under the timbers again. A gentleman who will be associated with Mr. Ancker In the work said yesterday that some days the building may be moved 30 feet, while on others it may pass but 6 feet of ground. Last week two coal pierjt adjoining the warehouse were torn down and the wreckage was turned over to the people of the neighborhood for firewood.

The present building, with its pier, Is said to be only about one year old. It was formerly owned by the Terminal Warehouse Company, but Is now the property of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

Peters, of the Baptist Tabernacle, St. Paul street and North avenue, spoke last evening on "The Church and the Theatre." In the course of his remarks Dr.

Peters said: "Amusements are wise for the reason that, the bow needs to be completely But that which may be commended as an occasional recreation becomes very unmanly if it Is made the object of daily pursuit. The church should be fair aud be ready to make a righteous and reasonable difference between the harmless and the harmful, and Instead of anathematizing a noble profession with arbitrary narrow-ness, let us befriend those who seek to present legitimate public performances. "If the legitimate drama has been laid out in its grave clothes to give place to burlesque not grave enough to wear clothes, whose fault is it? Has not the church kept digging away at the evil, Instead of putting divine grace into our amusements and letting that elevate and regulate them? "There are Immoral plays and plays that are as Innocent as milk. The plays that have achieved the widest and most permanent success are the good plays. There are bad men and women In all professions.

No profession has had bo many detractors as the theatrical. There are men and women on the stage whose characters are as spotless and whose lives are as beneficent as any to be found in our churches. "Water cannot rise higher than Its source, and the character of the theatre cannot be sustained above the character of those who attend it. Playwrights and actors are not to blame for what we often get on the stage. Playwrights and actors do not live to write and act; they have the bread-and-butter human weakness and write and act to live.

They know what the people want and they give it to them. The demand will control the supply. "In nothing else do Americans show so much bad taste as in their indorsement of plays and players. Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear or Richard III, are these the types which most frequently appear? Look at the placards on the walls for an answer. And the Shakespeares, Goldsmiths and Sherldans are not likely to be popular so long as people throng the theatre to hear poor puns and silly songs, which the compounders of gaiety burlesque provide.

"Still, I am hopeful for the future. A more refined class of people attend the theatre now than ever before. A higher tone of morals prevails in the best plays, and is manifested In the character of the players. 'May I go to the. theatre? asks the Christian.

I answer. If you can. 'Let every man be persuaded in his own Refuse to do or go where your conscience forbids, but refrain also from condemning your neighbor whose conscience may not require him to walk in the same path that you have marked out for yourself. "From amusements tnat demand of you an outlay beyond your means, you had better stand aloof. Confirmed thatre-goers are unfitted for life's duties.

Once a man stood stunned at the first sight of Niagara Falls. When he gained his breath, he simply and cooly said: 'I wonder how much machinery all this would We are told there Is enough power' there, when converted Into electricity, to light the world. And there is enough vigorous manhood and womanhood In every community, if rightly applied, to illumine our. whole country. But behold the thousands wasting that power, throwing it to the four winds.

"Charles Lamb once wrote a play for the stage, and he went to 6ee it enacted. The play was condemned, and the loudest hissing came from the gallery, where Charles Lamb sat, while the audience looked up and saw that it was the author of the play who was hissing his own production. If at last we are compelled to look back upon a wasted life, we ourselves will be the severest critics, and no encore can ever bring us back to re-enact it." HOW TO PI7RIFYP0LITICS Hev.B.P. Robertson Says The Righteous Should Assert Themselves. Rev.

B. P. Robertson, pastor of Fuller Memorial Baptist Church, spoke last evening on 1'Men and Politics." He said in part: "The correct definition of politics Is the science of government, but in modern practice it is the science of demagogism. The selfish greed of men for ofllce and gain has dethroned this science from its rightful position, and the pernicious custom of moral weakness in selling their votes and their American franchise has had much to do with making the political atmosphere so terribly corrupt, and the Satanic influence which the liquor traffic has had over American politics cannot be computed by any means whatever. Without doubt our best men should, Intensely Interest themselves in the politics of today and strive to place good men in office.

If this is not done, then the wicked will place the wicked In office, and the whole people will suffer and mourn. "If the righteous would assert themselves they could control the politics of our country and fill all the offices with the best men. In this way Christ, who is sovereign in the lives of our good men, would become sovereign of our country, and thus the political atmosphere would become purified and our people would be enabled to rejoice evermore;" DR. SMITH SAYS FAREWELL Report That Rev. John C.

Gray Would Succeed Him Denied. Rev. Dr. C. Ernest Smith, formerly rector of St.

Michael and All Angels' Protestant Episcopal Church, this city, preached what will probably be his last sermon for some time at that church yesterday.

Gray stated last night that as far as ho knew there was no truth in the report. He said that he had heard nothing of the matter. Evangelist TnlUs To Men. Evangelist Frederick B. Smith, of New York, preached yesterday afternoon to an audience of men that thronged almost all the available floor space at Ford's Opera House, the address being "a confidential talk" to the sterner sex.

16. The war between the farmers and gunners continues. The hunters say there is little or no law against trespass, but the farmers cite two acts passed by the Legislature in 1900, one in 1884 that applies especially to Washington county, besides the common law against trespass. One of the acts of 1900 says "every person who shall upon any pretense whatever come to hunt with gun or dog upon the lands of another" shall be subject to a fine of from $5 to $25. The other act of 1900 says any person who has been notified not to trespass and then does so renders himself lhibie to a fine of from $1 to $100, but the act says it is the intention of the law to prohibit willful and wanton trespass." Gunners say they are not guilty of willful and wanton trespas when they pass over another's land.

The act of 1884 says It shall be unlawful "to go upon the lands of another to hunt or fish against the consent of the owner," and fines varying from $1 to $20 can be imposed on violators. A gunner yesterday started at Conoco-cheague to hunt and traveled, southward two and one-half miles, but he was chased, by enraged farmers from every field. He scared up four coveys of partridges, but did not get a shot at the birds. Notwithstanding the attitude of the farmers toward the hunters a great deal of game is still being bagged, although partridges and rabbits are getting scarce. Street Commissioner W.
