G. Spalding held a conference today at which the base ball situation was discussed at considerable length. Mr. Johnson and Mr. Spalding agreed that it was Inadvisable to consider an amalgamation of the two leagues on any kind of basis.

Mr. Johnson stated that the American League circuit was made up for the year and that there would be no change in it In any way. Mr. Spalding was equally emphatic, In announcing that the present four loyal clubs of the National League Pittsburg, Chicago, Philadelphia and Brooklyn-would go through the season Intact and would play out a four-club schedule, if necessary. He expressed the opinion that there would be eight clubs, but not more than eight nor less than four.

Mr. Johnson and Mr. Spalding ore united In the opinion that two major league clubs, representing the larger cities, are a necessity to satisfy the public, aud both believe that with rivalries between these local clubs the base ball patrons will be better satisfied. While both Mr. Johnson and Mr.

Spalding are strongly of the opinion that it Is advisable to formulate some kind of a treaty between the two leagues that will bring about harmony In the base ball situation, yet considering the present mixed condition of National League affairs, it is believed to be Inopportune to take up this question now. Among other results of the conference today was the suggestion that the respective playing rules committee of the National, American and Nntional Association of Professional Baseball Clubs have a Jolut conference and formulate a uniform code of playing rules for the coming year. For the purpose of carrying this into effect, Messrs. Johnson and Spalding sent a Joint letter to I'. Powers, president of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues, suggesting a joint conference to formulate a uniform code of playing rules, to meet Monday, February 10.

1902, at Buffalo, N. Y. Mr. Dreyfuss, of Pittsburg, and Mr. Hart also conferred with Mr.

Spalding to-day. Mr. Dreyfuss announced to Mr. Spalding that he thoroughly approved of the course he has taken so far In conducting the base ball controversy, and expressed the utmost confidence lu the ultimate satisfactory outcome of the present league entanglement. Mr.

Spalding left to-night for New Mexico and Southern California, to be absent a short time. During his absence he will keep In close touch with the base ball situation. DIAMOND SPLIT Peculiar Accident to a Gem Fell to the Floor. Secretary Harry PulIIam, of the Pittsburg Baseball Club, who has been in the city on a visit for some time, smashed and utterly destroyed a $500 diamond at the Louisville Hotel recently, says the Louisville Courier-Journal. It was such an accident as will not happen to a diamond once In 10,000 times, eo Mr.

Pulllam feels that It is "outrageous fortune" with a vengeance. "Anywhere but In Louisville," he said, "It wouldn't have happened. Old-hard-luck Louisville," and he thought of the erstwhile Colonels' long years of struggling lu the National League against the baseball demon of Ill-luck. The stone was set In a ring which had been given him by the members of the Pittsburg team last fall. It was of the fiery white variety, and for Its size a little more than two carats was unusually valuable and handsome.

The gold claws which held the stone In place were heavy aud oue would have supposed would have given the stone ample protection against any Injury It might receive In a fall. Mr. Pulllnin was bathing at the time. He hud had his hands In warm water and the ring was still on his finger. He started to take It off, und hud withdrawn It from his finger when It slipped from his grasp to the marble floor of the bathroom.

It happened to strike nt the oue point necessary to cause its destruction. However, the fall would not have affected It In the least were It not for the fact that the gem was warm and the marble floor was cold. The conditions were just right for such an accident, aud the stoue falling on the fatal point was shattered and ruined. It was split In two as evenly as it a lapidary had done the work. The upper part was still held In place by the gold claws, while the lower half lay against the base of the settings.

0. P. Keudrlck. who saw the ring after the accident, said that he bad lu his whole experience us a Jeweler beard of three such cases, and that such accidents to dluuiouds were generally rare. "About twenty-live years ago a Louisville woman broke a largo diamond In Identically the same manner.

She was washing her bunds in warm water aud let her ring fall on a cold surface of some kind. Some years ago I saw another case of the kind in the Hoffman House lobby In New York. A gentleman took stone from his wallet, valued at about to show to some ot his friends. It slipped from his hands and fell to (he marble floor. It was literally shattered.

Mr. Pulllum could have hit that diamond with a hammer a hundred times and wouldn't have made any impression upon It. A skilled lapidary can take a diamond and after close study can determine Its grain. Then by a slight blow can chip it In the direction he wishes. Mr.

Pulllam's ring so happened to fall ou the grain and was Just at the correct temperature to smash. Money in Apples. From the Atlanta Constitution. A prominent Virginian apple grower, telling of the development of the Industry In that State, declares that on orchard of about right sixes oue of bis neighbors raised io trees, which this year yielded 1.100 barrels of first-class, merchantable fruit. They sold for $2.50 per barrel In the orchard, the buyer furnishing the barrels and defraying the expenses of packing.

A l.ooo-trt'o orchard on an adjoining farm cleared $5,800 one year and $0,000 two years later. Is an average of a tree, to that It will he readily seen that a good crop Is a very lucrative Investment, CAN STILL GO ON Last Night's Shows at Local Clubs Were Not Interfered With. Tell fiasco perpetated upon the sport-lolng public of this city by Tom Sharkey and Fetcr Maker at Industrial Hall on Friday night was the sole topic of discussion in sporting circles yesterday and the outcome, which may be a serious one for the fistic game, is awaited with interest by every follower of boxing In this city. There I no doubt but that more than half of the spectators of the fake left the hall believing that it would again put a stop to boxing bouts being held In this city. That no orders to this effect were issued was evidenced from te activity among the other clubs which had shows billed for Inst ulght.

The Nonpareil, National, Keystone and Quaker City Clubs held their shows as usual and there was no interference from the police authorities. What the future will bring forth can only be surmised. One thing is certain, the affair at Industrial Hall has not helped the game along, and a repetition will no doubt wind the game no for good so far as this city Is concerned. Boxing promoters who think mpre of a few ill-earned dollars tawen from the public by allowing boxers to put up a fake bout will quickly learn that the Phladelplila public will not stand for such high-handed robbery. That the promoters will have to get together at once and arrange matters amic ably there seems no doubt.

Friday night's affair was, according to those who seem to be well informed, was simply caused by Jealousy on the part of rival organizations. It Is a well-known fact that the Central Athletic Club made the fight against the city authorities and Anally, after a great deal of trouble and expense, secured a decision which enabled local clubs to throw open their doors. Then came the beginning of the end. Box Ing clubs sprang up from every section, like mushrooms In the morning dew, and before the game had been going two weeks six clubs had shows announced, and the would- be promoters were as busy as a bird shot at and missed. It was not long before the number of clubs was doubled, until there were fourteen In the field, and as there were not enough nights to round the promoters were soon at lagerheads over conflicting dates.

The Central A. C. began by holding its shows on Friday nights, and When the Industrial Club opened and claimed the same night In opposition to the club which made It possible to hold fights In this city the natural result followed. It Is openly stated that one of the Central Club officials vowed vengeance and declared that he could stop te game If he wanted to. The alleged threat gives groutid for the belief that this official, said to be R.

H. Kane, sporting editor of the Philadelphia Record, was at the bottom of the charges made against ilaher and Sharkey. BOUT TOO IMPORTANT. Ever since the bout between these two men was announced it was the genereal Impression among many followers of the game that If the Industrial Club attempted to pull off a bout between such prominent fistic lights as Sharkey and Maker it would be stopped by the police. Sharkey and Maher have met before and the showing Muher made against the sailor then has given many of bis friends and admires the opinion that he could bent Sharkey.

The latter being matched with Jeffries for a battel for the world's championship placed even more Importance on the bout. Newspaper notoriety did not do the affair any good and the first sign that there was trouble brewing was the publication of a letter from one James Barnltz, who requested that the bout be stopped. When the police department did not take as quick action in the matter as satisfied those who were behind the movement the Law and Order League was asked to take the matter up, with the result well known by those who paid good money to the management and the faking pugilists. Of course every one connected with the game came In for criticism and blame for the affair was rested upon the shoulders of those whose names happened to be known as being Interested. No matter who the prln.

clpals In the fiasco were, the result of the Maher-Sharkey bout has placed a damper on future heavyweight contests between men of this class. for future shows at various clubs In this A number of excellent contests are billed for future shows at various clubs In this city. Whether they will be allowed to go remains to be seen. The public will hardly stand for taking a chance with any of the big stars as the feature of any show, and promoters who have in mind attractions of as much Importance as the Meher and Sharkey light will probably cancel dates ahead. MAHER AND SHARKEY RELEASED FROM BOND Both Appear Before Magistrate Eisen-brown and Are Discharged.

Maher and Sharkey had another set-to yes-terday morning, and it was as peaceful as the one they went through with on Friday night. Yesterday the men mot at Magistrate Elsenbrowu's office for the purpose of being released from their bond of $5,000, under which they were prevented from giving 5,000 spectators the worth of their money nt Industrial Hall. As was expected, the hearing proved as big a fizzle as their boxing bout. Sharkey was prepared for anything In the mix-up line which might have taken place, wearing a pink and green sweater, sealskin cap and a solemn look. Maher looked serious, but had evidently become Imbued with the solemnity of the occasion, as he wore black.

Manager MacFarland, upon whom the hoodwinked public rested the blame for the whole affair, was the serious man of the crowd. He had a long tale about losing nearly a thousand dollars by reason of the crowd breaking benches und chairs. He looked rather longingly at the two frightened fighters as if he expected them to make good his loss, but as Maher had his money safe at home, and Jim Bulkley was guarding Sharkey's share with a cast-Iron grip, there was nothing for MacFarland do but to tell his tale to the Magistrate. This did him little good, for his Honor declared that he had nothing to do with the affair, and stated that he understood the law had not been violated, and this being the case there was nothing left for hlin to do but discharge the men, which he did Thus let off, the pugilists left without further parley, and Were soon celebrating In a nearby suloon. MneFarland remained long enough to make a dusk at It.

H. Kuln, who was In the room. It looked as If trouble was brewing, but MacFarland simply shook his finger In Kaln's face and said: "Hick, you're a shyster, and I'll get you yet, If it costs me my life." Kaln answered with a smile and left the room, followed by the crowd of two hundred who were oil hand to see the wind-up. Sharkey remained in town until 11 o'clock and then left for New York while Peter went to his home early. It need not be said that neither was accompanied by a brass band.

To the newspaper men present, both fighters declared they felt as bad as anybody about the affair. They sold they had both trained bard and we're there to put up a fight that was on the level and each felt confident of victory. Thev said they did the best they could under the circumstances Iu his own behalf Maher said: "After our arrest It was never Intended that we should tight, fur a decision, and this should have beep made known to the crowd, as we asked to have done. I'm as sore as anyone. Why, Jast night I thought we'd be murdered before we could get out of the One crowd got behind me and yelled that! I ought to be out iu some kitchen learning how to wash dishes, while another crowd was telling Sharkey that he ought to go work on a dump." According to both pugilists, after the hearing ou Friday, Magistrate Elsenbrown privately showed them the law, which, lu the event of their breaking their bonds, would result not only In a forfeiture of these, hut a line and possible Imprisonment as well, and It was then and there agreed by all.

Manager MacFarland Included, that six exhibition rounds should be boxed. MacFarland was asked to announce this prior to the pugilists entering the ring, but either neglected or refused to do so. THE TAPE FIRST Oregon Cyclist Ou'pointed Monroe at Finish of Six-Day Race. Freeman and Mnyo won the six-day bicycle race at the Second Regiment Armory last night, breaking the world's record by 38 miles, covering milen and 10 laps In the 48 hours of riding. Monroe and Me- Eachren were second, Lennder and Uutz third and Wilson and Gougoltz fourth.

With the end of their weary grind In sight the riders In the six-day race entered on the last eight hours of pedaling with renewed vigor, and It was evident that un-less some serious accident occurred the race was to be a close and an exciting oue to the finish. It was agreed between the various pnrtnerst that the sprinters womd rest as much as possible, allowing the "pluggers" to do most of the hard riding during the day. Referee Allen started the men of promptly nt 2.30. At the sound of the pistol Gougoltz jumped out ahead and was followed by Mayo, Itutz, McEeachren, King, Chevalier and Muller In the order named. A steady pace was maintained from the start, and it looked as if the contestants were satisfied that the final hour's work would more than make up for any tanieness that might be evident during the afternoon.

There was no going away from the track during the afternoon. Those not in the procession spent their time on the stretch, watching their companions. Suddenly the cry of "There he goes!" would ring through the building. Instantly the crowd was on Its feet, while tlie resting riders, throwing blankets and wraps In "every direction, would make a rush for their wheels ready to jump out In case It was their team mate who was getting the worst of the deal. "Look out there!" would shout one of the riders, being lu a pocket, would be unable to 'go after one of bis opponents, who, coming up from the rear, would try to get the jump on his companions.

Instantly there would be a scramble, and the gap closed up. Repeatedly would one of the men start off a terrific sprint Iu the hope that his partner would take it up and stretch it into a lap. This appeared to be the only way that any of them could succeed. The great speed of the others, and the advantage they had of making pace for each other, made the feat an almost Impossible oue. Over thirty-one miles alicad of the record at the start of the afternoon's race, the riders had almost equaled the previous rec ord for two hours' longer riding.

The score at 4 o'clock was: Miles. Laps. (ioiiRoItz and Wilson 8711 2 Freeman awl Mayo Leander and Hutz 870 2 Monroe and McFnchern S70 2 Fisher and flu-Taller 871) 1 ItHdtield and King Win 10 Mueller and Barclay 860 2 The standing of the teams at the finish was as follows: Miles.

Four motor-paced races have been arranged for next Tuesday evening to take place on the record-breaking twelve-lap track at the Second Regiment Armory. Two heats of five miles each and two finals of ten miles each will serve to demonstrate the speed of four of the leading men seen In the alx-day race during last week. Bennle Munroe anil (Jeorge Leauder will ride In the first heat of five miles. Immediately thereafter Jean Gougoltz, of France, will meet Archie McEachern In a second five-mile heat.

This will be the first appearance of Gougoltz In this country back of motor pace. In the finals the winners of the two heats will meet and the losers I14 each heat will come together. LYONS AND LENNY Feather-Weights Will Clash at Penn A. C. Show To-Morrow Night.

Harry Lyons, the Chicago featherweight, who is hunting a match with any boy In his class, will be seen In this city to-morrow night. The clever Chicago boy is expected In this city to-night, and will box at the I'enu Athletic Club lu the wlnd-np with liddle Lenny to-morrow night. Iu their recent bout Lenny stood him off for twenty rounds, and was given a draw by the referee. Lyons had the Chester boy to the bad for the first ten rounds, and appeared to hit him as he pleased. However, Lenny came back strong after the tenth, and the end was wiving as good as he got, and perhaps a little better.

The best evidence that a draw was the fair decision lies In the fact that both men were dissatisfied with It. Lenny Is confident he can give the Chlcagoan as good as he sends to-morrow night, and his followers support him in the belief. The other bouts arranged for the night are almost as Interesting. In the seml-wlnd-up Young Mnhoney und Isldor Strauss will go six rounds. The pair Is well mated, and ought to give a great exhibition.

In the first preliminary Griff Jones and Young Riley will go. Their meeting lust Monday night was the hottest go that has been seen In town for a lung time. A repetition of It will be worth seeing. Martin Judge Defeated. CHICAGO, January IS.

ItACING Running meetings at Oakland. New Orleans, and Charleston, S. i- COMMENT According to name Rumor Ban Johnson Is the busiest find the most versatile man In the world, mid it would, not bp at all surprising to hear that A. G. Spalding had resigned as president pro tern, of the one-half of the National League and Johnson appointed to succeed him.

There is no doubt that In the present base ball war 1 Johnson is the one shining mark around which all the other are centered, and right on top of the rumor that he has practically agreed to help out the Spalding end of the National League, comes another dream to the effect that Johnson, Brush and Freed-niau have been In close conference, which means that Frcedmau and Iirttsh want to the New York, Cincinnati, St. Louis and Boston clubs Into the American League circuit. This latest gold brick story Is about the worst that ever happened, and is hardly worth noticing. Can any one imagine for a moment Andy Freedimin humbling himself to anybody and traveling miles to consult others ou any question of base hall? when he has for so many years dictated the policy of an organization in which he was looked up to ou all matters. Then, again, John-, Kon is a man of good sound Judgment, and the reports that he is practically dealing with both sides of the National League is too ridiculous to he believed.

There seems to be many spots to place the blame for the Maher-Shnrkey flasco at Industrial Hail on Friday ulght, an affair that hits done more harm to the game than anything of its kind seen in this city since boxing was permitted. In the first place the blame rests with the promoters of boxing shows generally. When boxing was legalized, If it can be called" this, by Judge Martin's decision, the first thing the clubs did was to bill shows In opposition to each other. This, of course, caused jealousy, and threats arc said to have been openly made that certain clubs would be driven out of the business. The warmth of this Jealousy increased every week, but despite this the promoters refused to get together to arrange, if possible, some way out of the difficulty.

One promoter openly declared that he would not meet any one, and that he bad enough political influence to pull him through. That he did not was evidenced by Friday night's affair, the result of which may mean the closing of Industrial Hall for good. II. H. Kane Is given credit for being mainly responsible for the arrest In the Sharkey-Maher affair.

Whether he was or not Is food for argument, but that he had a kick coming is sure. He made the fight to have boxing continued in this city ami won, only to be opposed by the Industrial Club management, which, being able to put on stronger attractions, greatly hindered the success of the Central Club. The managers of these rival clubs could have settled the matter by agreeing on a change of dates, but they could not get together, and the result was what may prove the death blow to boxing. PENIM'S INDOOR GAMES Track Candidates Given First Try-Out at Franklin Field.

DONATIONS OF THE YEAR Colossal Gifts to Education, Art, Libraries and Charities. From the Chicago Tribune. Two years ago the Tribune noted with great satisfaction jat the yenr 181W was a record-breaker In donations and bequests to educational Institutions, libraries, art museums, charities and religious enterprises of various kinds, the total amounting to "the colossal sum" of Last yenr It expressed moderate satisfaction because lOtKi was "a close second," the total amounting to $02,461,804. To-day the Tribune has extreme satisfaction In announcing that 1001 goes far beyond 1809, the total of the good work reaching the extraordinary sum of $123,888,732, with the possibility that Mr. Carnegie or some other philanthropic millionaire may make It a round wlthlu the next eighteen hours.

Of this huge sum has been given to colleges, universities, academics, seminaries and institutes; 2,217,470 to charities of various kinds; $15,388,700 to libraries; $11,133,112 to museums and nrt galleries, aud $0,208,489 to churches. The latter sum, of course, does not Include the ordluary church offerings, but only specified sums left by will or presented outright. More than half of this great sum has been given by three persons as follows: Andrew Carnegie, Jane L. Stanford, 10,000, and John D. Rockefeller, In the detailed list there are twenty-eight gifts ranging from to for various purposes, and fifty-one gifts to colleges, ranging from $100,000 to Mr.

Andrew Carnegie Has been quite fortunate In getting rid of some of those millions which he does not wish found In his possession at the lust. He has come much nearer averting "the disgrace" this year than be did last. Ills favorite work of founding libraries has been largely Increased, for whereas In 189!) he set up thirty-four libraries at a cost of and nineteen lu WOO at a cost of $1183,000, this yenr he has planted 10!) at a cost of making for the three years 102 libraries In various parts of the country. Thus far fourteen Stutes and Territories have escaped him, hut undoubtedly he will find them out and supply their -eds. This done, be must find other outlets for his money, und this he Is evidently beginning to I do, as he bus already offered $10,000,000, which probably will be Increased, to the I general government for a national unlver-I slty, anil It Is intimated on good authority that a million each to Yule and Columbia Colleges may come as New Year's gifts to i those Institutions.

It Is noticeable also that be Is beginning to contribute to charities. Evidently he is determined not to die disgraced. As to the ultimate consequences of this wholesale and Indiscriminate giving to educational Institutions, some Important questions may yet be raised and Indeed some thoughtful persons are already doubting the wisdom of such glftH. Hut this does not detract from the philanthropic spirit displayed by inimy wealthy men. It Is pleasant to note their liberality, and to com-pare this ninn'hVont sum of $13,888,732 given away with the comparatively small sum of taken by tlie embeizlers In 1901.

Great, if it Doesn't Explode. From the Kansas City Journal. "I consider the oil discovery In Texas the greatest tiling of ltn kind ever known to the world." said man from the Lone Klar Slate recently. "Heretofore no oil has been discovered In' lakes, us It Is down there, and my only fear Is that some day there will be terrible explosion, which will tear open the whole side of tlie world at that point and put tin end to the oil business, Ueatt-niont, everybody lu town and good slicd piece of Texas."

It Is uncertain whether the University of Wisconsin will enter the Poughkeepsle regatta this year, owing to the expense.

This has to be largely defrayed by subscriptions from the residents, as the student body Is too tKior to raise the money. When Wisconsin had a fnst crew, as In ISM and HHtO it was hard enough to raise the money, but third place last year and the former defeats have so dampened the ardor of the Western enthusiasts that they are not forthcoming with the cash. The crew has started training anyhow, and hopes to secure the necessary money In time. Gould's Kennel for Sale. WHITE PLAINS, N.

Brooke and H. D. Scott, of this city, defenting P. Stockton and Austin Potter, of Boston, by the score of 4 to 2. It was the first racquet game of importance held this season and there was a large attendance of club members to witness the match.

The visitors were booked for defeat from the start, but the local players did not do as well as they might have done and the Boston pair played well below their usual form. The contest was called for the noon hour, but it was 30 minutes later before a start was made. Totter opened the service, but failed to start the score, and the service reverted to the Philadclphians with love all. Brooke added the first four aces before the visitors received the honor. Two aces were added, and Brooke for the second time entered the square.

He retired at 5-2 and his partner, was unable to increase the score during his Bhort service. Both Totter and Stockton were retired without a change In the score. Brooke, however, carried it to 9-2 before he gave way to Scott, who left It at 10-2, Stockton saw four aces added to the score, making It 10-6. Brooke was sent out without an addition, but Scott remained until the set was called at 15 to 6. The piny had up to this time been poor and hardly a brilliant stroke had been made.

Brooke opened the second set with a better service and added more power to bis strokes. At three love he gave way to his partner, who carried the score to 5-0 before his opponents entered the square. They added 2 aces and the Quakers again served. Brooke was then seen to advantage, nud with well and strongly directed serves increased It to 8, when Scott kept up the good work until the marker announced 8-2, when a low return by Potter enabled Stockton to replace him. The latter and his partner added aces, when the Quakers, getting the honor, won out with the score at 13 to 8.

The third set saw the scoring slow at the start. The Quakers at one all were retired. The visitors' added ou ace, as did the local players, when, squaring the set, Stockton saw the score increased to 4 to 2, and for the first time led in the scoring. Scott and Brooke between them Increased their total nf aces to 6, when they were, forced to retire. Their opponents took udvautage of the opportunity, and by well directed strokes won the set without leaving the box.

With the score at 2 to 1 in favor of the local pair Totter opened the fourth game with the two aces. Brooke scored but 1, when the visitors made it 5-2. The service and score see-sawed to tt all, when Scott entered and saw It carried to 10-43. Potter equalized the score, and at 14-10 gave way to his partner, with the game ball, and the latter won out, squaring the match. The flfth set's opening saw Boston leading with 5, love.

The Quakers made It 6-4, and again served at 4-6. Brooke retired at 6 all, but Scott doubled his figures. The Bos-tonian8 added 2 aces, when Brooke 6aw the finish of the set, with tlie score 15 to 8. The sixth and what proved the deciding was long drawn out, and after ten changes In service the score was only 7 to in favor of the visitors. Brooke and Scott made It 14-8, when the latter had to give way to Totter, who, with his partner, carried the total to 14 all.
