RULE TINKERING.THE CHAIRMAN OF THE LEAGUE COM

MITTEE WAKES UP.

President Hart Has a Few Ideas as to Rule Changes But is Sound on

the New Reactionary Notion ol Shortening the Pitching Distance,

James A. Hart, of the National League©s Rules Committee, does not favor the agi tation emanating from Boston for short ening the distance between the home plate and pitcher©s slab. He does, however, suggest some changes akin to those orig inally made by him, which first converted the caught tip foul to a strike with the catcher up behind the bat and later back against the grand stand.

"I believe that it will be a good thing to make three fouls a strike where they come between strikes," said he the other day. "That would stop this fouling of Thomas and McGraw and quicken the game and increase batting. Now three bunt strikes are out and a bunt going foul is called a strike. It would be little hard er to keep track of the fouls between strikes."

He continued: "I would reduce the number of balls allowed a pitcher from four to three. Then he could not waste so many and would have to pitch for the plate. Now he wastes the first one, and maybe two, working for the man stealing. I would cut out allowing .1 man to take first base on being hit and by making three fouls a strike this would even up."

VETERAN OF VETERANS.

The Oldest Player and Manager Out of the Game.

New Tork, June 10. Manager John C. Chap man, the oldest player, umpire and manager now connected with the national game, except Billy Barnie. has retired Co go into other busi ness. Mr. Chapman still owns the Norwich Club franchise in the Connecticut State League, but be will not manage the team this season. After forty odd years of service he lays aside bis managerial duties and for some time to come will act as a salesman for H. B. Kirk & Co., of this city. He says: "I jegret very much not to be able to give the Norwich Club and the Connecticut State League my entire services, but at the present time it is impossible; prob ably later in the season I may see my way clear to do so. I have offered my club (franchise nnd players) to a gentleman at Norwich who will likely take care of it. for a while at least."

Why Jennings Approved.Something calamitous must surely overtake

the Trolley Dodgers since Hughey Jennings took to reading "The Pilgrim©s Progress." He was told that it was a good story, and so it is in a literal sense, though better adapted for a Y. M. C. A. library than a quiet nook in a bat bag. After waddling through some of those chapters where numerous paragraps end with: "And Christian, taking up his burden, proceeded on bis Journey up the hill," Hughey. enthused a little.

SCRIBES SNUBBED.John T. Brush Intimates That the

Writers Interfere Too Much With His Private Property.Cincinnati, O., June 9. John T. Brush

stated to-day tnat a cnauge is to be made in the Cincinnati team, but declines absolutely to make any announce ment of the proposed change until it is made. When asked if the report was true that Geier had been released to the Chicago Club he* made a positive denial of the rumor.

SCRIBES TOO FRESH.©There has been too much interference with

the Cincinnati Club," said Mr. Brusth "When we are ready to make known our plans we will do so and there need be no speculation as to what will be done."

"What about the dissatisfaction of the play ers over the uniform question raised in the East?"

THE UNIFORM ROW."There is no question between the club and

the players on the matter of uniforms or any thing else. There has been no discussion of the matter of burned uniforms by the management. When the grand stand burned in Cincinnati, and the uniforms were destroyed, there was no luibbling on the part of Manager Alien. The stand burned in the early morning©, and at 10 o©clock that morning Alien had wired an order for new uniforms. There was DO consultation with the players. The club gave the order and :he manufacturers of the uniforms look to the lub for settlement."

The Magnates Forgot That.An eight-club League furnishes an ideal cir

A MISTAKE.Player-Selling Not a Good Thing

For Base Ball, Confesses George

The Washington "Star" quotes the late owner of the Washington National League Club, Mr. George Wagner, as saying:

"Now that we are out of©it, I am free to admit that what the Washington people have gSnerally coiidi-mned us for the policy of sell ing players was a mistake. We were forced to sell men early in our connection with the club to save ourselves from serious financial loss, and we had good business reasons in every case since then. These matters, however, never will be considered by any base ball enthusiast. Suffice it to say, we made a mistake. If, by some turn In affairs we should re-enter base ball there will be a change. Should our good players become dissatisfied, as some of our Sena tors did, they will be traded to the best ad vantage. If this cannot be done they will be released outright. We will never again be put on the defensive as the result of selling players." _____

Has Become a Habit.Since the formation of the Baltimore-Brooklyn

syndicate and the telescoping of a 12-club league into one of eight clubs the club owners have frequently been quoted as calling base ball a business enterprise instead of a sport. Balti more "Sun."

BASE BALL SOUTH.A GEORGIA LEAGUE LIKELY TO BE

ORGANIZED,

A Northern Organizer Now at Work on the Formation o! a Six-Club League Which May be Made an Interstate Allair A North Carolina League,

Chattanooga, Tenn., June 12 Editor "Sporting Life:" The present indications are that before the present base ball season closes the fans, rooters and cranks of Chat tanooga \vill have nit opportunity of wit nessing some real professional ball. A pro moter of State base ball leagues is in the moter of State base ball leagues, Frederick M. Foster, is in the South at present for the purpose of organizing a State base ball league, to be known, us the Georgia State League.

THE PROPOSED CIRCUIT.The intention of the promoter is to have

the league composed of six cities, as fol lows: Chattanooga, Atlanta, Macon, Au gusta, Savannah and Charleston. He lias been in Atlanta for the past few days, engaged in raising Unnecessary guarantee fund, and he has succeeded in arousing con siderable interest among the lovers of the national game in that city. It may be that he will visit Chattanooga within the next few days arid interest the fans here in the project.

HAS A CHANCE.All of the cities above mentioned are

regarded as places where good base ball would thrive, and it is thought the or ganization of the Georgia State League would prove a success. It has been a long time since the South has witnessed professional base ball, and the patrons of the game are hungry, as it were, for a taste of the exciting sport. The cities com posing the proposed league are located in a satisfactory radius, and the teams will not have to make any very long jumps. Mr. Foster©s plan is to transfer the six Vir ginia League teams in a body to tne uew Georgia League.

A North Carolina League.Raleigh, N. C., June 12 A schedule

meeting of the managers of base ball clubs is called here for Friday to form a State League. Raleigh, Wilmingtou, Charlotte, Stattsville, Durham and Tarbora are to be represented and perhaps Wilson. The first game will be between Rateigh and Wilmingtou at Wilmington June 14. The schedule will give each team four games a week until September 1. There has not been a State league for 14 years.

Afraid to Give Inkling of Profit?The Cincinnati Club lias ceased . giving out

the attendance. Heretofore Manager Bancroft always furnished the turnstile count after every game, but as his word has been doubted on several occasions, no statement will be made in the future, and it will be a case of guess. Cincinnati "Commercial-Tribune."

THE CONTESTANTS GRADUALLY BE COMING BETTER BUNCHED.

Philadelphia Losing Ground While Brooklyn and Boston AFG Gaining —Pittsbnrg the Only Western Team That is Really Dangerous at Present,

The League race shows no particular change except that Philadelphia is gradually coming back to the bunch, and that all the teams have closed ranks better. The Boston (earn is still keeping up its. spurt and now seems certain of a place in the first division. The Western teams are meeting with indifferent success in the East. Pittsbur£ alone is breaking any where near even, and appears to be the only Western team in the running for the pennant. ns St. Louis seems unable to get going steadily. The Western invasion ends this week, and then •will follow a brief sectional battle preliminary to the second Western trip of the Eastern teams. The record up to Jane 13, inclusive, is as follows:

. CHEERLESS CHICAGO.The Windy City Fans Disgusted With

the Showing of Loftus© Men on the Road An Infield Shift Made and Another Suggested.Chicago, June 10.—Editor "Sporting

Life:"—Disgust continues to mottle the face of the average ball crank, enraged over the way the Chicago Club has been falling in the Kast, and wholly forgetful of the fact that the club was picked by the critics as unlikely to get any higher than the place it now posesses. The club, ac cording to all accounts, is now a badly demor alized crowd, playing more honest and well- meant ball than used to be the case,, but lacking the intrinsic ability. The Sticking aver age to date is only .274, the fielding, .926—20 points too low iu both departments to expect to cope successfully with such clubs as Philadel phia, Brooklyn., and St. Louis. Add to this tee fact that Pittsburg is uo_w catching its gait, that Bostt>n is again playing proper ball, and what chance have we for better than sixth position? The unexpected may happen, but it does not look to be coming our way.

1N FIKLD C H A N G ES.Loftus. seeing that young Bradley was mak

ing errors by the quart, has yanked him out, shifted McCormick to third, and reinstated Cliugman at short stop. The change does not seem to have done much good, for the simple reason that it did not help the feeble batting. Bradley had grown panicky, ai;d was no louger able to do himself justice with either bat or glove, but his stick work was better than that of either McCormick or Clingman. Loftus sticks to Childs. but here the season is about one third gone, and Cupid's batting average is down to .230.

BRADLEYsays that the trouble with his own work and the apparent hesitation which he showed in handling the ball with men on bases rose wholly from Childs' slowness. "He is too fat to get to the base for a forceout," says Bradley. It looks odd for a youngster to be criticising a man who played the inneld when the detratctor was in short pants, but there is a probability that the kicker has his reasons.

ANOTHER SHIFT SUGGESTED.Some of the fans favor benching Childs, put

ting McCormick on second, and sending Bradley back to third. This shift will undoubtedly be made the first day Childs is sick or gets hurt, and will be continued if it pans out well. No matter bow the Chicago infield Is arranged, the team is too weak in batting. Big Ganzel holds tie pace steadily up to tlie .330 mark, and fields

gloriously. The man looks like a fixture, al- tbouah he is. of course, no such base runner as Bill Everitt. Bill bad a way- of getting frjrn base to base that was all the money, while Ganzel bas yet to steal a cushion.

MERTESmade three home runs at Boston. Looking over the games of the last few days it looks as if that famous fence was the biggest joke of the year—upon the Bean consumers. Every club which has played in Boston has soaked them over that fence right and left, while not even the vaunted Fieeman has been able to do anything for the home club. If this is kept up, with the visiting clubs making all the four-baggers, it is more than a bet that Mr. Soden will be. too willing to grant the annual prayer for the fence's abolition, while the mag nates will suddenly forget that the fence ever gave them any trouble.

THE OUTFIELDERSare all doing right well, Dacny Green batting and fielding at a clip which bids fair to keep McCarthy guessing from the bench. It never hurts a team to carry extra men. True. Boston used to win gorgeous flags without utility field ers, but look at the gang the Giants carried in 188S and 1889—twenty-two players, with a sub for almost every position. The two extra men on the Chicago payroll have done their share this year—that is, if any two can be singled out as extras, when the club is con tinually being shifted.

LANGK OFF FOR PARIS.Speaking of Chicago ontfielders reminds me

that Bill Lange and his bride are on their way to Paris, thus burying the coffin of the great player's base ball career ten feet deeper. Lauge is gone, I guess, forever, although it. is a cincb. that the Chicago Club will keep his name 0n the reserve list for six years. What a wboftn lif glee there would he -from the fans if Bifr would only come back to the game.

SHAKY CHANCES.It looks to be impossible to brace up Loftus

team the balance of the season. Tom offered Boston a bunch of talent for Herman Long, and got the giggle. All depends upon the pitchers. The greatest 'bunch of twirlers in the League will have to bear the burden, and now that Griffith is in shape, the chances are a trifle brighter. If Garvin could only down his hoo doo there would be nothing to it, but the long fellow is the star loser of the year. Pink Hawley has lost more games, but Pink has been bit hard, while Garvin is almost untouchable. One satisfaction, he can make a blue-tailed monkey out of Delehanty, and there is no other pitcher in the business w-ho can do as much.

PLAYERSJRGANIZE.THE WIG-EXPECTED PROTECTIVE

UNION MATERIALIZES,

Tlie Ball Players, in Sell-Protection Against the Constantly Growing Tyranny ol the Base Ball Trust, Propose to Fight It With Power ful Counter-Organization,

Slowly but surely the League magnates \vho have been for sojne years industrious ly sowing the wind are beginning to reap the whirlwind. One manifestation of that is the organizatitn of a players© union, iu order to counteract the despotic poll- c es and grasping methods of the little coterie of ancient fossils who are gradu ally running the League and even the na tional game to death. The players have at last learned that the only way to meet the League Trust is with counter organiza tion, as in these piping times of trusts the individual cuts no more figure in base ball than in any other line of business. The wonder is that union for self- protection against intolerable oppres sion has been so long delayed, considering the constantly growing exactions and usurpations of power by the magnates. These gentry probably realise the poten tialities of the players© union even more fully than do the players at present. At any rate this new movement, added to the steadily progressing, though - secret, work of organizing the new American As sociation for next year will doubtless give the League Trust something to think of and worry over besides watching the turn stiles.

ORGANIZATION EFFECTED.According to the programme laid out in

April last Three delegates from each Na tional League team met at the Sturtevant House, in New York city, on Sunday, June 11, and organized the "Protective Associa tion of Professional Base Ball Players." The delegates to the meeting were as fol lows:

New York Davis, Doyle and Mercer.Brooklyn Keeler, Kelley and Jennings.Boston Duffy, Collins and C-larke.Philadelphia Delebanty, Donahue and Murphy.Pittsburg Zimmer, Ely and©-O©Brien.Cincinnati Corcoran, Irwln and Phillipps.Chicago Griffith and Callahan.St. Louis Young, Burkett and Heidrick.Kyan, of Chicago, was also expected to

be present, but he was called away to his home, at Clinton, Mass. McGraw, of St. Louis, wa,*- unable to attend because of in juries received at the Polo Grounds in the giinie on Saturday, which will lay him up for at least some weeks.

THE PLAYERS INSTRUCTED.Daniel Harris, representing Samuel

Gompers, President of the American Fed eration of Labor, was present, and he ex plained matters to the players. He said that the proposed union would not neces sarily be compelled to affiliate itself with the American Federation of Labor, but whether it did or not, it would receive the moral support of his organization. Harris showed the players that they had many grievances, which, if handled in the proper way, could be rectified without any great amount of trouble. He went over the ground so thoroughly that the delegates in formed him that after they had formally organized they might Join the federation represented by him. Harris then withdrew, and the Protective -Association of Profes sional Base Ball Players was organized.

PROCEEDING CAUTIOUSLY.Following a long discussion it was voted

not to affiliate the association with the American Federation of Labor as yet. The delegates thought thjat it would be better to feel their way before taking any such summary action. They further decided that it would be well to keep the good will of the American Federation of Labor, and at the same time it would not be advisable to antagonize the National League in any waj. The affiliation may come later, but

the players thought it advisable to feel their way before taking any positive step in that direction. This point was decided by vote.

ACTING WISELY.Officers were elected, including a presi

dent, vice president, secretary and treas urer, but by a unanimous vote it was agreed that their names should not be made pub lic. A committee on by-laws was also elected, and it was voted to secure as legal adviser one of the following: Harry Taylor, formerly of the Louisville Club, now a lawyer in Buffalo; Michael J. Sulli van, formerly of the New York Club, HOW an attorney of Boston, and William Goeck- el, of last year©s Philadelphia team, but now practicing law at Wiltcesbarre.

SOME FEATURES.Each club has a chairman for the play

ers, as follows: Kelley, of Brooklyn; Davis, of New York; Duffy, of Boston; Delehanty, of Philadelphia; Griffith, of Chicago; Cor coran, of Cincinnati; Ely, of Pittsburg, and Burkett, of St. Louis. While the majority of players of each team have joined the new association, it is understood that it is not compulsory for any man to become a member. The association will hold an other meeting iu New York during the next trip East of the Western clubs, when it is believed an attempt will be made to enlist the support of all players in the minor leagues, for it is argued that if the latter are not included the association will not be effective when the proper time arrives.

A PUBLIC DECLARATION.Hugh Jenuings, of the Brooklyn Club,

was appointed a committee of one to talk to the newspaper men after the meeting, which adjourned shortly after 6 o©clock. Jenuiugs said:

"It was the sense of the meeting not to an tagonize the League in any way. Justice and fair dealing are what we want. The organiza tion takes iu about all the League players. A League player does not have to join now, how ever. Nor would a player be tabooed if he did not join. If he has a grievance, however it would be his alone and not ours. Later minor league players will be taken in.

"In ease of any unfair treatment afforded to one of our men, I do not say that the Protective Association would order strikes, but I do say that we would resort to harsh measures. Play ers have been oppressed year in and year out by the magnates of the National League, and they have been helpless. But with our Protective Association in full sway we are confident that the magnates in future will see fit to so nego tiate with players that there will be no griev ances.

"When we have perfected our organization and have included all of the minor leagues we will be in a position to dictate terms, which, let it be understood, will not be unreasonable in any way. Mr. Harris, representing President Gom pers, told us that we would not have to support any other unions in the way of being called out and that our dues would be merely nominal. We think very favorably of affiliating ourselves with his organization, but action has been deferred for the present."

Mr. Jennings further said, that judging from the spirit displayed by the delegates, the nevv players brotherhood would be a sure go, as the delegates were a unit in the belief that the time had arrived for the players to protect themselves against further outrages.

WIDE SCOPE OF THE MOVE.It is said that the president of the Pro

tective Association is either Duffy of Bos ton or Griffiths of Chicago. The work of organization is not to stop with the Na tional League, but to include all the ball players of the country, and organizers are now, and have been for some considerable time, at work in the minor leagues. There is little doubt that in a very short time the American and Eastern leagues will be formally orgenized as chapters of the new Players© Protective Association.

A CANARD NAILED.i WIDELY PUBLISHED TRANSFER

STORY DENIED.

Tlie Brooklyn Club Ollicially Stamps tlie Tale ol a Proposed Transfer ol the Brooklyn Team to Washington as an Absurd Falsehood,

A report was given wide currency dur ing the past week to the effect that the Brooklyn team would be shortly trans ferred to Washington, owing to contin ued poor patronage in the city of Church es, and that the Brooklyn Club was bus ily engaged arranging the details of the transfer with President Young, who is cus todian for the League of thq Washington ball park. So much credence was given to the story that President Kbbetts found it necessary to issue the following de nial:

"There is absolutely nothing in the story. Nothing has even been said individually or col lectively by the Board of Directors regarding any such move, for the owners conduct the club in such a way that a plan of such magnitude would be decided at a full meeting. Nothing of the sort has ever been intimated. Tlie club has Jiot lost money so far this season. While nase ball has wot been supported here as a champion team should, still the conditions in Greater New York at present are bad. We hope for improvement, but even as things are now we have a good bal ance on the i-ijfht side of the ledger and no liabilities. The Brooklyn Club has a lease on the grounds covering a period of eight years, a matter of §50,000. We could not very well shoulder that liability to take a chance in Wash ington, which I claim is not as good a base ball town as Brooklyn."

President Young also said that he had not been approached in any way on the subject by the Brooklyn Club officials and added that his financial record shows that the Brooklyn Club has taken in more money up to this date than a Washington team ever did in the same period in the history of the League.

BROQKLYOUDGET.The City of Churches a Good Ball

Town The Case of Alex. Smith A Bit of Advice to Ball Players Aiient Their New Brotherhood, Etc.Brooklyn, N. Y.©, June 12. Editor "Sport

ing Life:" Aside from the fact that the Brooklyn Base Ball Club is playing quite as well as ever, that Aleck Smith has been farmed to Hartford, that Brooklyn©s team will not be transferred to Washington, and that the new players© organization has been formed there has been nothing of particular moment in this city. Possibly it will impress some persons that there is no necessity of further news. But then Brooklyn has the reputation of being a quiet place, where it is the custom of tho citizens to go to bed with the robins.

THE SMITH INCIDENT.provoked no small amount of discussion, and sympathy was all with the player, until the announcement was made that he had refused to be transferred to other teams in the National League, when the opportunity was offered, because he desired to stay in Greater New York to play base ball.

Of -course this farming business has its draw backs, especially when you may happen to be anchored with & team and in a city that you do not care for. but so long as the salary that is paid is the same as it would have been had a player continued with the National League, the most serious misfortune must be the lack of fame that a player might acquire by playing with a club in the big organiza tion.

THE TROUBLEwith the base ball business, so far as the farm ing evil is concerned, is that the club owners try to tie themselves up to so many good play ers. The expense would be too great to carry half a dozen extra men on the roster of a club, but the owners, by getting somebody else to pay the salary for the use of the player, keeps his good men intact without cost to himself. In some instances, of course, the farm does not pay the full salary of the player but a liberal portion of it.

TO TRANSFER BROOKLYN.Absolutely no reason can be assigned for the

wild story that got into public print to the ef fect that the Brooklyn nine would be trans ferred to Washington. Such a move never was contemplated. Washington never did as well as Brooklyn has done during the early part of this year, ©notwithstanding the repeated assertions that the attendance in Brooklyn is so small. The story first began with the statement that the Broklyn games would be transferred to Baltimore. From this some Western correspond ent evolved the story that the nine would be sent to Washington. However, it scarcely needed a denial to establish the contrary.

ABOUT THE ATTENDANCE.So far as the patronage of the Brooklyn

nine is concerned it is difficult to see wherein Pittsburg, Cincinnati. Chicago and Boston have much the better of this city in matter of actual patrons at the games. Boston gets more out of the games for tho reason that the twenty- five cent, patronage in that city is very light whereas, in Brooklyn, it is heavy. Of course, eVery critic who seeks to establish a few invidious comparisons, at the expense .of this city, mournfully declares that the nine is doing; miserably considering that it is a championship nine. Yet I think if you will look through League history you will readily find that there were other championship nines which wore hot patronized one whit better thau the Brooklyns at present. The magnates say as a matter of course, that if such a nine as Brooklyn were in New York the attendance would be something enormous. Very true.

That is the history of New York and it is not the history of any other city in the National

Le!1SUC©BROOKLYN A CITY OF HOMES.The floating population of Brooklyn is rela

tively nothing. Tbe people ou tills side of

the East river are staid residents. They work in New York and they cross the bridge and the ferries to get home. A great many of them cannot get home before four o©clock. It they undertake to see a ball game at that hour they are likely to miss a portion of it. and the average crank does not care as a general rule to miss any part of a game.

The result is that tha patronage is alwaya greater on those days of the week when thera is a half holiday, or something approaching it. If Brooklyn had the thousands who are oa Broadway daily, there would be at least a fair proportion of the number to see base hall at Washington Park. Brooklyn hasn©t got them, however, and never will have them, nor will any other city in the age of the present generation, of ball players.

THE NEW PROTECTIVE LEAGUE.Ten years have elapsed and the players of

the National League are again banded into au organization. They couldn©t keep out of it. They must play with the fire again. Person ally. I am with the ball players in regard to a great many little evils that have crept into the game, but I cannot help but believe that to form a secret organization is a costly experiment. The ball player, as well as the owner, depends upon the public. The public looks with an antagonistic eye at anything savor ing of organization in sport. The essence of sport is individualism. When you undertake to operate it on the co-operative basis you grasp it by the neck and throttle it.

CAUTION NECESSARY.Unless the players are very careful in the

manner in which they administer the affairs of the new organization, to- which they have subscribed, they will have the public viewing it with the same jealous eye with which it viewed the brotherhood, especially !n the face of the fact, as is well known now, that the brotherhood did irreparable damage to pertain, Hubs that were in the League at that time, and. that it followed it up by doing other damage! because of the sores that were left after the organization passed away.

TAKE IT TOO SERIOUSLY.Ball players take their occupation too serious

ly. That might seem to be a harsh statement on its face, but it is not. It is the truth. There is no necessity for base ball in this country. Professional base ball ©s merely the toleration of the public. As a nation we could get along without it just as well as we could get along without horse racing, and without sundry other amusements. We don©t want to do so, for the very good reason that harmless amusement is a good safoty-valve. But that© the public can speedily become disgusted and disappointed with the game was exemplified when base ball was practically boycotted in 1890.

What the players should do is to please the public in every little way that is possible. In stead of sending them away from the games disgusted at what they have seen, spectators should at least be sufficiently satisfied to want to come again. If anything happens on the field that savors of organization work, ihere ia bound to come criticism, and plenty of it.

WELL-P£ID OCCUPATION.The great trouble with the ball player is

that he will not perceive that he is well paid for the service that he renders. Men who are in the business for a long time and take good care of themselves draw many thousands of dollars. Their work is not half so hard as that of the blacksmith, the carpenter, the tinsmith, and the iron worker, any one cf whom would be glad to get as much, and get it so easily. Very few young professional men get as much as the average ball player. There is many a young lawyer and young doctor who struggles along for ten, or even more, years, af ter his graduation, glad to see $100O coming in each year to keep the wolf away from the, door. Some can©t get that much. The aver age newspaper writer makes but little more, and sometimes much less, for a hard year©s work thau the ball player gets for his six months* contract.

DALY©S GOOD WORK.In spite of the fact that he had been absent

from the diamond for some time, Tom Daly had no trouble to play second base just as well as ever the moment that Manager Hanlon concluded that it was time to put the veteran back again. Dement is a very valuable utility man to have on the team, and Brooklyn is well fixed now in case there should be an injury to some player. Hanlon believed that Daly stead ied the team a little better than Demont. The latter played far better ball this year for Brooklyn that he has played in the last twa or three seasons.

KELLEY BATTING AGAIN.Joe Kelley lost track of the ball early in the

year, but he is hitting for keeps now. The. other day against, Pittsburg he walked to the plate four times and made four hits. One of them was a home run that looked as if it might never stop traveling. When the captain is bat ting he is the happiest player on the team. They all get to look a little glum when they can©t get the-ir safe ones.

OLIVER TKBEAU DISGUSTED.The manager of the St. Louis nino remarked

the other day as he sat in one of the New Yorktels, "I wonder how long the St. Louis Club to be followed by this bad luck. Here we

are in the most important season of the year with the entire infield disarranged. The pitch ers aren©t doing good work for the good reason that they are not being supported as they would be had we our regular nine in the field. Young is in bad shape, and Powell is in no condition to pitch. Cuppy was driven out of St. Louis bv the adverse criticism of the very men who are now discovering what a great player he was, and the players that certain men have insisted should bo put on the team are losing games for us now that they have a chance to do any work. Well, if we get straightened out at St. Louis we will make fur fly for somo of them before the first of October is at hand."

WESTERN WONDER.OMAHA HAS A WONDERFUL YOUNG

PITCHER,

Another Hughes Dawns on tbe Base Ball World AHairs in tbe New Western League Tbe Roster ol the Clabs of That Organization.

Omaha, Neb., June 10. Editor "Sporting Life:" The Western League fight is now on, and at the present time Omaha is topping the list, all through the wonderful box-work of Cyclone Hughes. This young man is the find of the base ball world, and I look for him to graduate into the National by the Fourth of. July. No club has been able to get over six hits off him. Such old-timers as Buck Ebright, McKibben, Ira Davis and Billy Huleii .say he is

THE BEST PITCHERthey ever saw, and they all say he is equal to his California namesake. Well, it is a mighty, good thing we had -him, for we would have been down at the bottom of the list, if not. Bnrrell and Newmeyer have pitched fairly well, but not the kind of ball that people go crazy over. Young Newmeyer should be a splendid man, but he seems to lack the heart. Lauzon is playing first base in good style and Is hit ting the ball hard.

THE OTHER PLAYERS.McVicker is hitting well, but not playing

the field like he should. He is very weak on ground balls, and seems to be lazy in helping in throws, and other Ways that he cculd help the other fielders. Toman, at short, is playing a steady, reliable game, and is the favorite of the team with the people. Big Bill Wilson works hard and is in the game at all times, /but it is plainly seen that he cannot throw to second. St. joe stole on him Whenever they liked.

O©CONNELLIs playing a splendid game, both in hitting and fielding, but he is too much of a kidker. People do not go to a game to see him continually chewing with the um pire. He likes to be seen from the grand stand too much. He will do well to cut the kicking out before the people get started on him.

FINE ATTENDANCE.We are drawing on an average SOO for

weekday games, and the only Sunday we bad showed 8000 people. Omaha is base bf. 11 crazy. The management will make money, unless they get their heads turned and the people sour on them.

THE ROSTER.Following is a complete and correct list

©of the players of each club in the Westerft League:

Onuha Manager, William Rourke; catcher, Bill Wilson: first base. Lauzon; second base. O©Connell (captain); third base. Hoy: short stop. Toman; left field, Baer: middle field. .McVicker: right field, Rebsmen; pitchers, Hughes, Mackey. New-rneyer. Scully, Burrell.

St. Joseph Jottings.St. Joseph, Mo., June 11. Editor "Sport-

Ing Life:" The St. Joseph team of the Western League this season is the best one we have had in years, and the fans appreciate the fact and are attending the games very liberally. The

kboys all play together and are full ©of ginger, being in the game all of the time, and their record of 6 out of 8 with one tie is not at all bad.

THE ROSTERof the St. Joseph Club as it stands to-day is Herman, Underwood, Maupin and Whited, pitch ers; Kling, catcher; Davis, first; Bristow. sec ond: Hall, shout; Strong, third; McKibben (man ager) left; Schrall, centre, and Zeitz, right field.

MINOR MENTION.Arthur Twineham, catcher of Des Moines, w.is

released while that team was in this city. Dave Seisler, with Peoria in ©95, has been signed to take his place.

Ernie Ball, the Des Moines short stop, had his collar bone broken in this city by being run into by Bristow, of St. Joseph.

The umpires now employed by President Hickey are William Traflley, Al Mauck and Harry© Sage.

Manager George Tebeau, of Denver, has traded catcher Hausen to Sioux City for catcher Ross. Hausen is not stuck on going and wants his release, but Tebeau says no.

Johnny Green, the outfielder. who started the season with St. Joseph, but was released on account of sickness, is again In condition at his tome In Montana, and will probably be re-signed

as the St. Joseph team is badly in need of a few extra players.

It is rumored that the St. Joseph Club is about $4000 ahead so far this season, and the season not three weeks old yet. If they keep up this lick thev will make all kinds of money this season. N. EDWARDS.

PITTSBURG POINTS.The Combined Team Puts in a Good

Week Down East—Manager Clarke Taking a Vacation—A Chat With Ex-President Temple.I©ittsburg, June 11. Editor "Sporting

Life:" The spurt of the Pittsburgs in the East last week when they won a number of games, three out of five I think, from such teams as the Phillies and Brooklyns has sent their stock to the fore again. Men who declared that they were going to pieces on the Eastern end of the League are taking in their predictions and sny that the nine is liable to fool somebody. The closing games of the Jaunt are with Boston. These may prove to be hard ones, as the ex- champs have been playing a nice article of base ball. Dick Cooley, who Is in charge during the absence of Manager Clarke, in an Interview said that he felt sure the lads need ha* no fear of the results if they played the same kind of base ball that they did in Philly and the first game in Brooklyn.

THE CHIEF TAKING A REST.Manager Clarke, as is well known, is off on

a two weeks© vacation. He, is now living with his wife and family in the little town of Cam bridge Springs. Pa., located in Crawford County, Pa., one of the many pretty health resorts in that section. There are waters there for all sorts of ails and ills, but the best is for kidney disorder, which a Philadelphia doctor said ailed the Pirate chief. "I hope to come home in health," said the fiery young manager, as he left for the place. "I have not been myself for many days, but have not wanted to complain. Hot games in Philly? Well, I should say that we had. Some how or other the people there have come to the conclusion that because we play hard for the games that we are roughs. Funny how they got after us in that town. The management of the team was responsible to a certain extent for the situation. They took the side of the rooters, and it was lively when we were in the old town. Col. John I. Rogers was the man who gave us the name of ©Rowdies.© I suppose that he imagined he was guilty of some- thing good when he applied the title."

CHALLENGED BY THE COLONEL.Clarke continued: "I will tell you why wo are

called rowdies. I am one for the reason that I slid Into the base and Delehanty thought that he was about to be spiked. Ritchey is one be cause when he failed to get a high throw to stor> a man on a steal of second he sat down on the runner and prevented him from running to third. O©Connor belongs to the rowdy stakes© for the reason that while the gdme was going on he called out a play to Williams M> that none of the Phillies could hear it. Cooley and the balance are members of the gang for various rea sons. I was amazed on one day to have the manager of the Phillies come to me and convey the message that the Colonel desired to know if I had any desire for satisfaction all that I needed to do was to call at the office and he would give me all that 1 needed. 1 ignored the challenge. That is the reward that men get when they *ry to play a speedy article of base ball, something that the magnates have been harping on for years. We were out to win ihe games. The lads do not go to sleep in the bouts. Just because we held his team to a standstill the Colonel imagined that we were a rough set and made it uncomfortable for us all he could. They tell me that he had a couple of hot arguments with Col. B. Pulliam was the peacemaker on more than one occasion. He got in between them."

A VETERAN IS RELEASED.The nice work of the Pirates in the East

has aroused Captain Kerr, the Pirate treasurer. "I am afraid I shall become a crank again."

said the genial boss of the money department. "1 have tried to keep away from the tickers, but the way that the lads are playing has stirred me up. I have just come from start ing Fred Clarke on the road to Cambridge Springs. He has regaled me with stories of the fast work of the men so that J am full of base ball enthusiasm. Fie tells me that the men plaved a rattling game against the Phillies on Thursday, and made the leaders look like, that sum of money so often spoken of in a de risive way. Fred assured me that the men were all in a good humor, and were working with might and main for the success of the team. No one had shown a sulky disposition. It is a treat to handle a nine of players ever eager to do their best efforts for their employers. That is the spirit I like to see in ball players. A man who has ever had any dealings with a team of ball tossers can appreciate it when he finds a set of loyal men on his pay roll. He feels like giving them all of the good things that are going. I am sure that Is .the view of Colonel Dreyfus, for he is sparing no money to have the men comfortable on the road,"

A CLEVER YOUNGSTER.It is likely that when the Pirates come

home Uncle Al Pratt will call the attention of the management to the nice work of a young pitcher named Moore, who has been doing the twirling act for the Dayton. Ohio. team. On Friday the lad shut the Mansfield team out without a hit. He has been working con sistently all the season. Uncle had the score of the no-hit game to-day, and was looking over the inside features of the same. "Just look." said he; "on the Mansfield team are such good hitters as Truby, Beecher. Fox and others. I think that the lad is all right. If he can fool old-timers like that, he Is worth a trial In the fastest of Company.

A CHAT WITH TEMPLE,I had n pleasant talk this morning with Mr.

W. C. Temple, who is famed as the donor of the ciip that the Leagua returned under Mich singular ch-cumstances. Mr. Temple expressed himself as highly pleased with the work of the Pirates. Regarding the proposed Players© Unlan Mr. Temple said: "Many players consider them selves badly treated. Tliey never ihlnk of the club owner, and will be antagonistic to him at every chance. That Brooklyn team, where Han- lon ©holds sway, has the largest bunch of an archists in the League. They seem to be the men who are pushing the move. Their manager is quoted as saying that the men are making a mis take1 and are not playing fair with their eiuploy-i ers, displaying little sense of gratitude. That may be true; but if my memory serves me rightly their manager himself was one of the leaders of a revolt among the players ten years ago. Of course, now he is looking at the matter- through the specs of n magnate, and not as a disgruntled player, as was the case In the year 1890. I have found some of the players who were clever fellows, and again there are some,

well, there is no using of saying." Mr. Templehas purchased a winter home in Florida andwill go South every winter to enjoy, the same.

LOCUSTS.Meekin and Schriver have lots of fun cavorting

about the park. They were given orders to get all the balls that they need, and the boys are not slow in taking advantage of such an order.

Charley Ruschaupt is a close observer of the American League race. He says Watty has a big lead, and is making a runaway race of it, He would have had trouble from Connie Mack, though, had the old man©s team not struck a spell of hard luck. "Watty owns all of the Hoosier team now. and will not take a chance In the League anymore," declares Charley.

Treasurer Kerr left to-day for Cu.nbridge Springs to show Fred Clarke the exact location of tbe good fishing that can be found in the famous French creek. Captain Kerr knows the land. He has been a yearly visitor to the place for the past decade.

Scores of little local teams are in the field this season. They play games on Satu.-duy, and when the team is at home hurt the turnout to some extent. Several years ago there was a semi-professional team in one part of the town that cut inroads into the League ^ate. They had enclosed grounds. The attendance was mainly from the mills of Lnwreneevilie.

A Philadelphia paper had an ugly intimation about the conduct of the Pirate team one night last week. People who are close say that the men have been behaving themselves grandly ever since the season opened. Four years ago or more there was a Pirate team which had five cases of loads on hand ere the season was on a week.

Col. Pulliam turned down a persistent hitter for comps in the Quaker City the other day. The man then wrote a letter vowing vengeance on the club©s property. "Those are the kind of cranks who set stands on fire," deebires the Pittsburg financial man. "It is iust like a farmer who does not dare to treat hoboes with discourtesy. They are liable to put a match to his barn."

President C. B. Power, of the Interstate League, has gone on a tour of the various towns in the League. He will be absent a week or more.

Tom McCreery is practicing with the Beaver College team. He seldom comes to the city. Mac has fully recovered his health and may go to work on the return of the nine.

Jack O©Coimr caught his first winning game in Brooklyn on Thursday. He drove in a tallv with a timely smash. CIRCLE.

NEW YORK NUGGETS.The Giants Still Trailing in the Rear

—Two New Men Added to the Team at Little Cost—Speculation as. to the Probable Situation Next Year.New York, June 11. Editor "Sporting

Life:" This morning finds Manager Ew- ing©s conglomeration in last place, and to those who understand the local situation, It looks as though the ancient Buck will be entitled to praise if he finishes the season above the tail end position. The showing of Bob Alien©s team when they took two out of three from the locals was such that makes us believe that the New Yorks will do well to beat out

THE DESPISED REDS.The latter team has no pennant prospects to

be sure, but it contains enough men to make up a team without putting pitchers on the infield when an accident leaves a gap. In fact, the spectacle of the Cincinnati club, while occupying the tail end position giving Elmer Smith to New York, was a rather amusing in cident in the eventful history of the New York club. Ewing wanted Geier, but Alien would not give him up, so after some parley. Smith was taken on, and even now we are not sure but that he was only "loaned" as O©Brien was last season.

ELMER SMITH AND COGAN are therefore new men on the local team. Cogan having been released by Chicago, was taken In by Ewing. and that seems to be the only way Buck can get players. The refusal of the local management to put up the cash seems to be a fixed policy, and Eryiug is discouraged. He has lost many opportunities to put a good team in this city, because of the club©s failure to make good the ante-season declaration. Ewing©s friends understand the situation, and he is therefore held blameless.

SEYMOUR FARMED.Owing to the erratic work of J. Bentley Sey

mour, that worthy has been "farmed" out to the Worcester club. After a tearful farewell. Seymour bade his comrades adieu last Thursday night, and is now with the Worcester team. His last game was against the strong St. Louis club, and although he gave eleven bases on balls and made his customary wild pitch, he won the game. After It was over he was told to jump the town, and he did it gracefully.

THE PITCHING STAFFwas further weakened by an injury to Doheny. Who split his finger. 1 Therefore, the acquisition of Cogan and Smith was timely. Elmer was put in right field, and Mercer is being groomed for slab work. As Davis has a lame leg, he was forced to quit, and. after Bowermau and Mercer had made a mess of it at short field. Cogan was placed there, and being a pitcher, he could not be expected to fill the hole. The lack of material Ewing has to work with is thus aptly displayed. It is in

STRIKING CONTRASTto the Champion Brooklyns. who, in Sheckard and D Mont, carry men capable of filling in. in case of emergency. Therein lies the cause of the low place occupied by the team that represents the great metropolis. The official apologist of the local club announces that unless Rusie reports soon, the door which has been open to him Will be closed. If Amos does not get a move on him he will probably spend another season In seclusion.

LOOKING AHEAD.A certain critic accompanying one of the

Western teams said the other day that the American League is not only playing high-class ball, but is due to branch out next season and put rival teams in New York and Philadelphia. Having shown its strength by breaking into Chicago, Ban Johnson©s organization antk-i;)ates forming a real rival league. Said critic further expresses the belief, based upon what he glean ed in a conversation with a Western magnate, that the League moguls intend to drop the pres ent New York" Club when the 10-year agreement expires, and that when the local olub teiilixes the situation it may force matters by allowing the American League to take Manhattan Field.

SOMETHING BREWING.This is looking pretty far ahead, but some

thing is brewing, and when it happens there will be music. In the meantime, the American Association is quietly planing to get a grip on the situation, and many League players are confident that another big league will take root.

The question, therefore, arises as by whiob means this can be best accomplished: whether by .the expansion of the minor American league, or by the success of an entirely new organiza tion such as the American Association. The proposed policy of the latter movement, in favor of the abolishment of the reserve rule, appeals strongly to the players.

AROUND THE BASES.The local team came in for a roast for piny-

ing dirty ball in the St. Louis game last Sat urday.

Visiting clubs are beginning to realize the re sult of the set-back that base ball has suffered in this locality because of the evident determin ation of the local press not to advance the Inter ests of base ball in its columns. With the aid of a mirror the magnates can locate the parties responsible for this.

Davis© absence from the team left a hole larga enough to drive a wagon through.

In the five games played last week the New Yorks ran up a modest total of 34 errors.

The constant roasting of two critics seems to have at last hurt the fielding of that bril liant second baseman Bill Gleason.

So far ©"this season the New Yorks have shown strength in batting alone.

Hickman has shown considerable pluck in the way he has handled himself at third base, but to class him with the League©s Ihird base- men Is laughable.

Mr. Seymour made his appearance at the Polo Grounds this morning, having departed from his "farm" at Worcester. Manager Ewing said he would Send Cy back to the woods.

That ante-season wonder, Frisbee, is never mentioned any more. W. F. H. KOKLSCH.

STOUISSADOver the Persistent Bad Luck of the

Cardinals — Joe Quiim Released — Valuable Players Incapacitated For Duty.St. Louis, June 11. Editor "Sporting

Life:" The Cardinals have but four more games to play in the East, one with New York to-day, and three with that slugging baud at Philadelphia, when they depart for home, opening here just one week sooner than was expected when they departed, and inaugurating almost a full month©s stand at League Park. Thus far the Cardinals have engaged in but nine games, and have won but four, losing five, and their general plav has

BEEN DISAPPOINTINGto close students of the game. After gettiig off with a brilliant start at Brooklyn, winning two games on Decoration Day, they have won but two of the last seven, and that two with Boston and New York as opponents in all but one of the seven. Various clitics have various rea sons assigned as the cause of these defeats. Some have It that the team has no pitchers, and others that it is general all-round bad playing. Be the trouble What it may, It is a fact that

SOMETHING IS WRONG.I think the pitching corps Is as good as any

club In the League, excepting only Chicago. Averages show that the team Is third in team, batting and second in team fielding, and this proves that in so far as batting and fielding is concerned the team Is doing quite well. The trouble, then, must be in the lack of team work, with the stick, when men are occupying the bases. In New York the team, got ten hits and were presented with eleven bases on, balls by Seymour, dounting these eleven gifts as good as hits, the Cardinals made first base twenty-one times, and in a full nine-inning game made but three runs. Thiis It is shown that there seems to be a

LACK OF HARMONY,or unison in working the hit and run gama. It is true that two or three games have been lost, at stages by the pitchers letting down, but I do not think they are alone to be blamed. There is one thing that has been causing more defeats than any other one thing so far attribut- fcd. and that one thing has been bad luck. From every city which the club has visited come reports of the bad luck the Cardinals are having. First. Wallace got badly hurt at Brooklyn, and Dillard was unable to fill his place. Then O. M. Young has been suffering with rhe.nnattsm and unable to pitch. And now comes the re port from New York that McGraw was badly spiked and otherwise braised by Jack Doyle la the game Saturday; and that little Mac. will hardly be able to get Into the game for several days. But It is also the luck of thei game, bad bounds of the ball, unfortunate errors, and many other lucky turns that has been defeating the team.

DOYLE©S DIRTY DOINGS,The papers to-day announce that McGraw

was compelled to remain in his room all day yesterday and that he was under the care of a specialist, but received very little benefit, and would hardly be able to resume his posi tion in to-day©s game. The spiking of McGraw by Doyle recalls the fact that these two play ers have been bitter enemies for years. Both played on the Baltimore team back in ©97. Dur ing that season they were fighting nearly all the time, and Hanlon was finally forced to sell Doyle to the Washington Club. While it is quite possible that Doyle did not try to avoid. a mix-up with little "Mugsy," It Is also cer tain that the doughty captain did not try to get out of his way.

MANAGER FRED. CLARK.of the Pittsburg team, was quoted recently as saying that the Eastern players were undoubt edly ©using their best efforts to put the best players of the Western teumjs ID the hospital. While this is hardly true it is nevertheless n fact that many of the Western players have received severe punishment from their Eastern comrades in the visit of the clubs from the wild and wooly West to those of the East.

AN INFIELD SHIFT.The return to centre by that great yoitn^

player, Emmett Heidrick. in last Saturday©s game caused Manager Tebeau to place Patsy Donovan on the bench and move Mike DonVin over to right. Donovan is one of the fine and finished players of the game, but he has not been hitting and Donlin has. and hitting hard. too. Donovan is leading the team in stolen bases, and aside from that lias, a clean fielding record as a fielder, but Donlin©s tremendous hitting is worth even more to the team, and as long as bt> keeps up his present gait it is quite probable that Donovan will be kept on tbe bench, good as ho is.

JOE QUINN RELEASED.A telegram Was received here to-night from

an official of the St. Louis Club now with the. team in the. East announcing the unconditional release of Joseph Qulnn, tho second bnsemnn. This, it is believed here, will strengthen tho team materially, as better work Will be gotten out of Dillard and Kiostpr, who were handi capped with the knowledge that Qulnn stood ready to take their places. Y©ouiiB and Powrll left New York for St. Louis to-night, liavinjj been Injured so us to Incapacitate <-}I«M< ©-i-n pitching for some time. RliTM.U,S.

Items of Interest.Springfield has signed third baseman Eustace,

late of the Philadelphia Athletics.Short slop Parent, of Providence, is the East

ern League iulield find of the season.The Syracuse Clttb has traded outiielder Henry

Lynch to Toronto for pitcher Suthoff.The father of outfielder Billy Lush, of Roch

ester, is a. policeman in Bridgeport, Conn.Pitcher Dugglesby, late of the Athletics, has

been farmed out by the Philadelphia Club to Toronto. i

The Worcester oval is said to be the worst base ball diamond in any recognized profes sional League. ,

The Springfield ponies will lead the league in bases on balls this season. They are a team of patient waiters.

The Toronto club has signed short stop Harry Berte, of Richmond, and has farmed infielder Dilution out to Youngstown.

O©Hagan played 28 games for Rochester with out an error, and Tom Bannon played 24 games for Montreal before he made an error.

The Springfield club has released Infielder Gleason to Moriden, and that club has also borrowed third basoman Sheehan from Worcester.

Hartford has returned the noted pitcher, "Still Bill" Hill to the Brooklyn Club, and has bor rowed catcher Alex. Smith, who, however, re fuses to be farmed out.

Not n club in this league is behind In sal aries, reports to the contrary notwithstanding, although bad weather has put some of them behind financially, up to date.

SYRACUSE SAD

Over the Rather Poor Results of the Recent Trip.

Syracuse, N. Y., June 11. Editor "Sporting Life:" To-morrow our battle scarred warriors return to the home field for a series of three games with Dooley©s pennant chasers, the Montreals, These three games will he all that the local fans will witness this month, as per schedule. Manager Irwin©s men have not scored very many wins on the late trip

THE PITCHERSseem to be working fairly well. That big. long, fellow, John Bishop, is just rounding to good form, as his game against Toronto last week would indicate. This only substan tiates the claim made in these columns that, when in god form, the big Southerner is as good as any twirler in the Minor Leagues, and even better than many In the Big League. The addi tion of Sudhoff to the pitching staff is well received here, although the loss of Henry Lynch is deplored by many. Lynch will make lots of runs this season, as he always does.

ATHLETIC FIELDIs now about finished, and it is superfine. There is no better ball park and buildings anywhere. The diamond is now of grass, and the outfield has been leveled like unto n floor. The grass diamond will be something new here. The field, from the big grand stand, looks like a picture. The grand stand is modern in every way. The cafe is an attractive spot and every seat in the stand commands an excellent view of the field. 6.500 persons can be accommo dated very comfortably in the stand and on the bleachers. Ed. Dorner, of the Pastime Club, will endeavor to form a city League this week, and .the local Eastern League magnates will offer the club the use .of Athletic Field, a wise move and a popular one.

rXAVE CALIIOUN.recently released by Syracuse, has signed with Binghamton, of the State League, and the ground keepers in that circuit are alreadv at work moving the fences back. Dave is knocking out home runs in every game. Catcher John O©Neil, who signed with Utica, suffered a broken leg in a game last week, and will have a benefit at Utica, and Syracuse will send down several fanatics who liked O©Neil©s hall playing and who regret his mishap exceedingly.

THE LOCAL ROOTERScan©t figure out why our team drops games so regularly and although somewhat discouraged still have faith in the outcome. The drubbings that Buckenberger©s champs have administered to our fellows are something that goes down hard, but we hope to get even up later on.

OUTFIELDER WHITEIs now in the game and doing pretty well. White has a reputation here as a batsman, and we hope to see him sustain it good and plenty. Lawrence Murphy is in command at the ticket office at the new Athletic Field, and the se lection is a most popular one. G. WHIZ.

SPRINGFIELD©S SAY.

Confident That Burns© Team ia the Best in the Leagtie.

Springfield. Mass., J©ure 11. Editor "Sport- Ing Life:" Manager Tom Burns has evidently made op ..his.; mind that Donuelly©s arm isn©t quite strong enough for this season©s work and ha.s signed Eustace to co\er third base. Since

, IJonnelly has been out of the game, and may not play again this suir>iner, Gleason has .been coyeruig© th.rd and has been doing satisfactory work, but he has still a lot to learn about the game."1

THE OTHER INFIELDERS. There are no flies on our second baseman,

and as long as "Dr." Curley keeps up his good

work on that bag he©ll be kept- therer- It©s gratifying to the many friends of Frankie Shannon to hear from all sides praise of the work of our little short stop. He is playing by far the best game he has ever played and the fans say that he is covering twice as much ground in fielding his position. Tucker, on first, is one of the best guardians of the initial bag we ever had. He has been in the game for years and knows it from A to Z. That counts quite a little Ju base ball.

THE OUTFIELD.Our outfielders are winning praise every day

for their all around work, especially Dolan, who has a batting streak on at/present and is hitting everything that comes over the plate. Buckley, the new player, like;- old winei im proves, with age and the game he is playing ought to satisfy the biggest kicker.

THE BATTERIES.We have also the best corps ot twirlers of

any club in the league. Foreman is twirling the game of his life this year, and his coaching has made him a warm favorite. Woods is in fine condition, and although he is hit hard at times, he always keeps in the game and "mixes ©em up" to the batsman. Pappalau is the same steady pitcher he. has been since he joined the team three years ago. It. must make the Hartford fans sore to see the good work McBride is doing for Springfield and to re member that they had him almost within their grasp the first, of the season, ,. and then©,lost him to Manager Burns. .

PROVIDENCE PLAINT.

The Grays Made a Poor Record Against Their Dearest Foes.

Providence, June 11. Editor "Sporting Life:" The Springfield and Hartford teams have play ed fast, gingery ball during the past week and the work of the Grays has suffered very much in comparison. This fact is fully realized by the spectators and it will only be a short time before the attendance will fall off if more life and energy is not displayed by the home team. There is no reason why the Providence.team©as now made up cannot play a much different game. Some of the players seem very lazy and indiffer ent, not caring how the game is going.

SOME NEEDS.More lively coaching, more energy in running

to first base and sacrific hitting are. weak points of the team and when Manager Murray makes the team more proficient in the points the Grays will have no need to take back water from any of the teams in the circuit. Notwithstanding the shabby work of certain members of the team we occupy third place and are close up to Montreal for second place.

A LITTLE CHANGE.Braun and Friend are pitching great ball, and

Evans has just rounded into form. These three are the equal of any in the Eastern, and they are going to do great work for Providence this season. Jud Smith has been signed to play third base and Stafford has been moved to centre field. This left no room for Nohlitt, who :was. released.

IN PARENTwe have a comer, sure. He is a great fielder, trying for everything that comes his way, good thrower, hard hitter and fast on the bases. Mur ray is taking special care of him and when he has been here two years some National League club will give more than the drafting price for him.

HARRY DAVISis playing a great game this year. He leads the club in batting with an average of .3-10. and is stealing bases in great stylo. Stafford has struck his gait in batting since he went to the outfield, and is hitting them out right along. Noblit, who was released, did fine work until he was taken sick in Toronto., He is a first-, class ball player and will be heard from again.

MINOR MENTION.Cassidy is sick but continues to play each

day.Steelman. of Hartford, is all right in the

opinion of the bleachers and Woods, of Spring field, is also a favorite.

Umpire Egan has done good, conscientious work here, being specially good on balls and strikes.

Evans surprised everybody, himself included, by making four hits in one game, two of which were doubles. He would be a great pitcher for any National League club if he could use his head more and hit the ball ofteuer.

Attleboro and North Attleboro are to have it out again .in base ball. These games are for blood and great is the rejoicing in,.the town that wins a game. Lauder is. with Attleboro,, and Le Stage., "the old Brown University catcher. manages the North Attleboro team. "RHOOY."

HAPPY HARTFORD.

Billy Barnie©s Boys Continue Their Fast and AVinnfng Pace.

Hartford. Conn., June 11. Editor "Sporting Life:" Billy Barnie©s team has .got going the pace that the friends of the boys have, main tained they were capable of. and instead of being the tail to the Eastern League kite, we are now in.fifth position and pushing hard those who are leading us in the race. There is

NO BETTER TEAMin the League just at present than Hartford, They" are playing a fast game all round, and especially in the way of hitting and each man is contributing his share in the winning. Only two games have been lost of the last elev©en played. The victims of Captain Suindle and his in©en were Springfield, who were trim med four games. Worcester lost the entire series here Hartford outplaying . Malachl Kit- tridge©s crew for keeps, and Providence were only able to win one game in our series with them.

ALECK SMITHhas been released to Hartford by Brooklyn, but he refuses to report to Manager Baruie. as he says "he don©t propose to be farmed to any cheap country team." Well. now. wouldn©t that make you mad? And there is already a couple of Brooklyn farm hands on the team at that. Steelmau and Donovaii are Brooklyn property, and if the Broadway fashionrplate does as good service for any team; he becomes connected with as those two young men are do ing he will be a star, indeed, for Hartford.

STEELMANis the best catcher in the Eastern League. That fact is admitted all around the circuit. a.nd Aleck Sinith. or any other man who the Major League people are ready to farm out, will not take his place in. the affections of the people here, but there is i.o room for him or Aleck Sinith, either, in Hanlon©s team, while Mc- Guire and F©arrell are able - to take their turn behind the slab.

WISE CHANGES.The changes predicted in "Sporting, .Life©©

last vweek i&ve; been made in the .local team, and they have,, -certainly been beneficial. Flem ing is playing a great game in centre, and Frank Ward ia a star performer at second

base. Gatins in on the bench at present, and Bert Myers at short.

HEMMING STILL A PITCHER.The surprise of the season is the way George

Hemming is pitching. The veteran seems to have recovered all the curves and cunning which he had when he was one of Hunlon©s four- time winners at Baltimore, and the way he is .bowling over those hard-hitting wonders of the Eastern is a treat indeed. When he isn©t on the rubber he covers the left pasture and while he may not be a star outfielder he is one of the finest of batsmen and a great help to the team.

SHINDLE©S VALUE.Providence is anxious \p get Billy Shindle,

and have offered $1000 for his release, but the veteran is not for sale, as there are few in deed among the third basemen in the minor League ranks who could replace Shindle, whose real value the fans of this town have at last found out.

BILL HILLhas been released. The big fellow is not in shape to do his best work yet and as there were four other twirlers in the team he was let out. TIM O©KEEFE.

BARROWS BOTHER.

Toronto©s Hustling Manager Getting More Talent Into Line.

Toronto, June 9. Editor "Sporting Life:" Although still occupying the much despised po- .sitibn of tail-enders, the loyal supporters of the aggregation ©have much faith in them, and are wagering even money that their favcwites will finish one, two, three. Notwithstanding the un pleasant feature of occupying last, position, the attendance to date this season has averaged more than last, which year was most successful.

BARROWS© TROUBLES.Of course a tail-end aggregation has got to

offer some excuses such as hoodoos, accidents, etc., for occupying the position, but when it is stated that the local bunch have been defeated 12 games by a single tally it will be seen that the local team have been in receipt of more than their share of hard luck. With a view of strengthening an already strong team, Manager- Barrows has been

MAKING CHANGESand purchases galore this week, and when the Saturday attendances gather at the game they will witness about four new faces doing duty. Short stop Dundon has proved a failure and has been loaned to Youngstown, O. Harry Berte has Iwsen bought from Richmond, and is fully ex pected to make good. His playing in the At lantic League has been phenomenal.

THE PITCHERS.Pitcher Duggleby has .been purchased from

Philadelphia, and this addition gives us perhaps the strongest pitcher in the Eastern League.

Pitcher Sutthoff has been traded to Syracuse for ontlielder Lynch, and a deal is on tap where by infielder Atherton may be landed from Buff alo in exchange for "Capt." Wally Taylor.

TID BITS.Twirler "Souser" Alloway is doing splendid

work in the pitcher©s position, and bids fair to become a star.

Third baseman Schaub is undoubtedly a won der, and by his rapid playing has become a huge favorite with the ©followers.

Outfielder "Reddy" Gray will be out of the game for some weeks, owing to a badly sprained ankle.

Pitcher "Brownie" Foreman is doing good work for the locals and is very promising.

The leaders (Rochester) played very dirty ball during their sojourn on local territory.

Manager Irvtiii was most graciously received by the talent here. He has a strong aggregation that will be in it at the finish.

HUB HAPPYOver the Improved Form and Work

of the Ex-Champions Nichols Back in the Game The Pitcher in Good Shape at Last.Boston, June 11. Editor "Sporting

Life:" Things are changed mightily in deed from a month ago. Then the Bos tons were working might and main to get out of the last hole. Now they ure mov ing along at a pace that is bound to land them in first place. They are surely playing faster ball than any club. The pitchers have rounded in good shape. Nichols is now in good form and is putting up a very flue game. Lewis is pitching gilt edge ball. Dineen has done splen did work right along. Cuppy, too, has done good work.

WILLISis the only pitcher xiot in form, yet he was put in the.last St. Louis, game to relieve Cuppy, and though he had a bad arm, he held the St. Louis down to four runs. A rest .has been prescribed for him. ©and the Boston pitchers are now in such good shape that any man can well be spared. The story went the rounds that instructions weix© sent from here not to take Cuppy \unless he was released outright, but this was not done, as I was assured by President Robison that Boston paid for his release.

ST. LOUIScame here very much crippled. The accident to Wallace struck hard, and with him out of the game the Browns are very much handi capped. Dillard did not make much of a suc cess at short, and Joe Quinu admitted that it was not to his liking. Then the pitchers were ineffective. Young had rheumatism. Pow- ell was not in his usual trim. Jones failed to show up strongly. Hughey was by far the most effective of the lot. and Thomas did not do poorly by any means. That Tebeau felt his weakness in pitchers, was shown by his sending for Gus Weyhing and Sudhoff to join the team.

DONLIN©S WORKin centre and at the bat was electrifying, and St. Louis did not niiss Heidrick in the least. In the first game of the series Donlin hit in suc cession for two singles, a triple and a home run, the latter ball bounding in to the right field bleachers. In this game St. Louis had the lead 10 to 12 in the last inning, yet lost the game©, McGraw doubtless greatly impaired the chances of lits team by being sent out ©of the gauiu for kicking at an adverse derision of. Emslie. Mac lost his head over the ©decision, though he- must - have known the outcome. Criger- tried hrs hand at playing third, and made a mess of it. He was as much at sea as McGrdw would have been behind the bat. Donlin- made eight hits in ;the four games, as did Burkett. Patsy; Donovaii, who batted as strongly as S*e has done here for a long time.. In eleven times at bat McGraw made six hits, and his fielding was gilt .edge.

"BOBBY" LOWEhas not been feeling at all strong and well and some days ago asked to be excused from

playing, but President : Soden thought that this could not be granted while the club was in straights and fighting its way to the top of the ladder, so "Link" kept on playing. Happily, he is feeling a deal better than he did, and has been playing gilt edge ball, and holding his own with the others at the bat. Barry had to be away several days on account of the death of his sister, and illness in his family. Pitcher Pittenger is among the missing. He has also illness in his family. There is scarcely .a season that "Pitt" is not obliged to go home, and when he goes there is no telling when- Ire will come back. He was pitching elegant ball when he left. He has certainly shown his ability to make good.

THE UMPIRE QUESTION.According to John B. Day the double umpire

is not to be restored because the magnates are satisfied with the system as it is. I doubt if they are satisfied. Ren Mulford^ while here, told rne that his club would have won three more games on the present trip had there been double umpires in the game. .President Robison was completely disgusted with the single umpire system, and while .here said he expected any day to see the double umpire system readopted. Had the double umpire sytem been in vogue McGraw would not have been put ont of the first game, for the umpire would have l.een in position to see the play in dispute. The single umpire is kept simply on account of economy, but it is false economy of the worst sort.

YOUNG SATISFIED.And now comes Nick Young and tells us that

he does not hear of any kick* at the single um pire system, and matters have- been running more smoothly than they have for years. Well, the season is young, but Nick does not read the papers. It is almost .impossible to take up a paper nowadays without encountering a vigor ous kick about tl* umpiring. This shOA©s better than any kicks by the magnates how little sat isfaction is given by the present system. Blesa you, the magnates do not run base ball for the public. They run it their way, and tha public has to stand for it.

CONDITIONS ARE DIFFERENT.And now Billy \Vatkins wants us to look at

the beautiful system in the American league, and behold how nicely the players behave there, and why?. According to "Watty" it is because the umpires are backed up by the oiaijnates and president of the League. That sort of thing may hold in minor leagiiedom, but Watkins knows full well it would not do in the National League. Why. if an attempt wa» made to do that sort of thing in the National League there would be something little short of a riot. Why one magnate at least can bid defiance to the whole National League. What system can be had under such circumstances? You must have your nice magnates first and then the remainder will be easy.

SWARTWOOD©S PLAINT."WThy," said Swartwood when here, "they

wanted me to stop -the men coaching from the bench. How on earth .could I tell who was coaching from the bench when I was watching the game. I have enough to do to watch mp- game without turning every other ball to see what is going on behind me." WT ?11, the f,t. Louis did coach from the bench like a tribe of Indians. Of course, it is against the rules, but what does one expect? A. Sunday School game? It would be pretty indeed it every- man participating in a contest had to keep quiet and could never open his head. That coaching giv>>n by the St. Louis here raised the spectators to the highest pitch of frenzy, and we had some coaching from the fans that would compare well with that at the hottest points.

THE CHICIAGOS.Following St. Louis© Chicago made its appear

ance, but did not improve in the work shown in other Eastern cities. The inflelding was very weak. MeCormick was a sjght in nis game at short in the first contest. Then Bradley was benched, MeCormick put at third, and Clin^.nan at short. Callahan pitched a magnificent game that would win nine times out of ten. He held Boston down to six hits, and in live of the eight innings not a hit was made off his de livery. Mei-tes in that game had a bigger total than the whole Boston team, but poor field work will more than counterbalance weakness in the field.

SPOKES FROM THE HUB.Tom Connolly looks like a new man. Sinco

his brief and unpleasant experience in umpiring alone he has put on 12 pounds. He has been umpiring the big college games, and has given unqualified satisfaction.

Mayor William C. darke, of Manchester. N. II.,. himself a first-class player in his college days, attended the last St. Louis game with a party of friends and enjoyed the sport im mensely. He- is one of the four delegates-at- large to the Philadelphia Convention.

It is the same old Billy Hamilton. In five games, running With St. Louis and Chicago, he made nine bases on balls. Jimmy Callahan was the only man who refused to make him a pres-- ent. JACOB C. MORSE,

THE TEST OF TIME.

For Eighteen Years the Clafliii Base Ball Shoe Has Been Leader.

From the time Clafiin©s base ball shoos were first made, 18 years since, they have held first place. These shoes are light and perfect fitting; the ,toe and heel plates are the most improved, and they are the only base ball shoes fitted with hand-forged spikes. They embody the ideas ot the best men on the diamond, and have the im provements suggested by them. Each succeeding season they have been made a little better. The time and labor spent in perfecting them has not been in vain. Their good points are appreciated by all players. The Claflin shoos are a necessity. Last senson 90 rer cent, cf -.©1 professional players in America were wearing this famous make, ©ihe present season i,,.., have been more in demand than ever before; the sales have been phenomenal.

TAKE YOUR CHOICE.There are three grades of Claflin base ball

shoes professional, minor league, amateur. The "Professional" are made in heavy, medium and light weights, and cost $7.50 per pair. No bet ter shoes can be secured at any price. The "Minor League" shoes are second only to Claf iin©s "Professional." They sell at $5.00 the pair and are as good as other higher priced shoes. The "Amateur" shoes, which are priced at $3..50 per pair, are u favorite wifh.,,e,qllege and trade clubs. They are., really, better than some makers sell for highest grade. ©-©" ,

A NEW DEPARTURE.Heretofore it lias been impossible to secure the

well-known Clatlin spikes and tee plates separ ately from the shoes. The call for them has- been so persistent that Mr. Clttflih has departed© froin his usual custom and they can now be bought separately if desired. The famous (©laf* lin base ball shoes arc sold direct by the iijuker. Waldo M. Claflin, 1107 Chestnut street. Phila delphia. The shoes will be sent anywhere in the United States on receipt of price. Siaid size and width of street shw, together with outline of foot drawn on paper, and tlie Ut will be guaranteed.

The Progress ol the Championship Race ol the American League—Re- salts of the Contests and News and Gossip ol Clubs and Players.

There is no change of note in this race, as the Hoosier leaders are more than holding their own upon the AVestern trip. Kansas City's spurt was as short-lived as Detroit's. Minneapolis is now going very steady, and Milwaukee, Chicago and Cleveland are run ning at their regular gait. Detroit and Buf falo seem to be greatly outclassed, though neither is a sure snap.

DETROIT DOTLET9.

Manager Stallings Now Has His Ten in Licked Into Shape.

Detroit, Mich., June 10. Editor "Sporting Life:" A. month ago George Stallings said that when .the Tigers sot started they would show- more than their teeth to some of the clubs in the League. They seem to be under full head way now, and are doing good work, win or lose

MANY CHANGES.The Detroit Club this season has undergone

many changes, and is much stronger than a year ago. Stallings is well equipped with Yeager. formerly of Brooklyn; Frisk, Miller, an Interstate League wonder: Fifield, formerly of Philadelphia: Gastou and Cronin. Behind the bat are Kyan and Shaw, both good men. Dil- lon, last season with Buffalo, is on first; Mc- Allister is at second. Elberfeld at short and Gray and Casey. late of Brooklyn, can play third. In the outfield are "Ducky" Holmes, of Baltimore and Brooklyn; Harley, formerly of Philadelphia and St. Louis, and Stallings.

STALLINGS© JUDGMENT.This makes a strong, evenly balanced team.

The club has been handicapped by accidents and injuries to over half the men, and at times Manager Stallings had difficulty in mustering enoigh players to fill out the team. The Tigers are now playing winning ball, and are backed up with plenty of confidence in their own abil ity to -win. Stallings did not realize that he had punctured a hornets© nest by his "jolly ing." He has impressed his own men with the feeling that their long sting of defeats was due almost wholly to hard luck, and that when they once get started they will go right to the top of the ladder. They now believe in his judgment.

A NEW PITCHER.When the Detroit Club reached Milwaukee

after its series at Minneapolis it found a clever new pitcher on hand ready to take his turn on the slab in person of Edward Sievers. who was until last week a member of the London International League team. The local manage ment has secured his services for the season from the Canadian club, and it is said that the price is $800.

A GOOD ONE.Sievers is a young, strong man, and with ex

perience will be a comer. According to Presi dent Burns, Sievers has a left wing and the local president says that Stalliugs has had his eye on the youngster for some time, and is con vinced that he will make good in American League company. The new Detroiter played in 26 games far the London team in the Canadian League last year, and has a batting average of .253. He stole five bases and made as many sacrifice hits in these games/© His fielding aver age was .906.

MINOR MENTION.Elberfeld is playing, a remarkably fast game

at short. He is one of the quickest players ever seen.

Manager Stnllings is looking for another pitch er, and expects to land a crack box man "in a few days. Yeager and Miller are doing gilt- edged work, bst Frisk and Cronin are uncer tain.

Harley is playing a brilliant game in the field and bunting to beat the band.

CLEVELAND CHATTER,

The Frlstoie Case Decided A NCAV Pitcher Signed.

Cleveland, O., June 11. Editor "Sporting Life:" Manager McAleer, of Cleveland, has been advised that the Board of Arbitration will render a decision in the Frisbee case in a few days and that New York will be obliged to return the player to Cleveland. Pitclier Wheeler, released by Milwaukee, went to confer with Manager McAleer. of Cleveland, the other day, and may sign with that club.

A NF>W PITCHER.Vice President* Charles Somers. of the Cleve

land Club, received word Friday afternoon from Manager James McAleer that he had signed pitcher Kerns, who was released by Buffalo. Vie pitched in one game this season against Cleve land on the home grounds, and allowed the "Babes" ten hits, but he won his game. He had some trouble with Franklin and was given his release.© McAleer has been keeping an eye on this player for some time; and when it was seen that Wilson©s arm was not in the best of shape signed Kerns at once.

OXR. MORE NF.EDBD.Wilson was sent home. His am is still both

ering him, and McAleer wants nim to take a rest for a time. Those two 12-inning games were hard one* on Wilson and told on his arm. With Kerns under contract the club has still four pitchers on the road. Mr. Somers said last evening that he was willing to give a good. price for another first-class pitcher, find would like to hear from some club that will sell him

a good one. With Hoffer, Hart and MeKenna in shape Somers thinks that with another pitcher of their calibre the chances of the pennant com ing to Cleveland would be much brighter.

CHICAGO©S CHAPTER.

Coiniskey Buys a Capable Catcher and Releases a Man.

Chicago, June 11. Editor "Sporting Life:" So far this season it has been easy to tell that both the White Stockings and the Orphans are fellow-townsmen. The teams generally win or lose on the same day by scores that are sur prisingly similar. For a long time earlier in the season both, had the same percentage in their respective Leagues, besides standing in the same places.

COMISKEY©S MOVES.During the past week Manager Ccmiskey pur

chased a new player in the person of cateher McManus. from the Allentown team of the Atlantic League. McMauus, the newest acqui sition of the White Stockings, is a good man. Last year he caught one or two games for the Washington team. He is a young player and will probably be tried ( at first base, for al though Motz is expected to rejoin the team in a week or 10 days, the latter is liable to injure his leg again at any time.

AS TO G El Bit.There seems to be little chance that the

White Stockings will land Geier. Comiskey said yesterday that he would be very glad to get the man from Cincinnati, and that he had written to Bob Alien about Geier©s release, but had not received a favorable reply. "Cincin nati offered me only one man,".said Comiskey. "He was.a -catcher. The offer was made early in the spring, and I refused it."

A REiLBASE.Sullivan, the Chicago boy who was tried as a

catcher by Comiskey, was let go last Sunday. In fact, he was never signed, but the White Stockings© magnate gave him a try-out. Sulli van will probably join the Manistee (Mich.) team as that aggregation has written to Comis key concerning him.

MORB IMPROVEMENTS.While the White Stockings have been away

many improvements have been made in their grounds. The diamond has been sodded and put in good condition, although, because the grounds, as a whole are low, it does not dry out quickly. A coat of paint has been spread over the stand and several new entrances have been constructad.

MILLER MENTION.

How the .Visiting Teams Size up With Wilmot©s Team.

Minneapolis, JUne 8. Editor "Sporting Life:" The Millers opened up their home engage ment with Detroit and took four games from Stallings© men. My criticism on the Detroit team is lack of team work. The team individ ually is strong, but I am surprised that Stall- iiigs has not got them

WORKING BETTERtogether than he has. With a few exceptions, they play like a lot of men who are forced to do something they don©t like to do, and are. anxious to get the disagreeable work ovar with. "Ducky" Holm-?s gave us a fine exhibition of how to play left field. His work here was thei finest we have seen this year. Casey at third base is putting up a nice game, but not hitting the ball. Klberfeld©s work was only ordinary. I think he relies on his dirty work to make his game strong. Such ball players as this man Blberfeld should be thrown out of the game. It hurts the sport.

THE, HOOSIERS© ADVENT.Watkins with his band of winners open here

to-morrow, then there will be fun. The Millers will give them a hard fight and I hope to see our boys take three of the four games. That©s expecting a good deal of them, but I expect them to do it. Harvey and Bailey ha^-e both joined the team, and each has pitched and won his game, and they both look good, and they will add strength to the team.

KNIOPPERhas not reported yet, but he will probably get in line soon. Lefty Davis is laid up with a sprained ankle, and will be out of the game a week or more. Werden. who has been in the hospital, is expected to be O. K. in the next day or so.

THE PROSPECTUS.We should start away on our next trip pretty ,

near the top. Grim has been playing first base, | and playing it well. Werden will get into j the game soon again. Fisher is playing the game of his life, and hitting the ball hard and often. In fact, all the boys are playing fast ball, and we will be* in the race all right if our pitchers will only do good work.

!Harvey and Buby have both pitched winning ball since they have joined us, and P^©-ker is pitching in grand form. JACKSON.

BLUE BLUES.

The Brace of Manager Manning©s Men Collapses at Home.

Kansas City, June .8. We have nothing but a sad tale to relate of doings base ball in this busy metropolis f<v the last week. Wat- kins© Indians, the most hated rivals Kansas City c VIST had, swooped down on us in a moment of triumph and carried off all the praise the local team earned ©while © on the Eastern tour, by taking each of the four games in an easy manner.

THE BLUESwere practically beaten before entering the con test. The second game was won by the locals [

by a score of 4 to 2 in the eighth inning whaf Watty©s Braves walked up and slugged oil four runs in the ninth. The Blues did n<| get a "look in" in the other games, and na£ rowly escaped a shut out.

BUFFALOfollowed for four games, of which the Blu« claimed three. Thursday, Ladies© Day, was f bad one on the locals, ecause the fairer a«\ ' dazzled the eyes of the present aggregation the same as in former years, the locals couli neither field, bat nor run bases, while Buffalf did each to perfection.

PARK WILSON,who has been given credit for winning tb/ 1898 pennant for the Blues, so long by the locs^\ newspapers that he really believes he did hav^ a hand in it, went out on a strike this weeF, because President Manning refused to pay hi» - $400 per month, when he had signed a col© tract to play for $300. Now. Mr. Wilson is If" boring under

A FALSE IMPRESSION.w*hen he thinks he won the pennanif in 1898. Williams, Slagle, Ganzel, and I>a1*© Gear are the boys who turned the tricl^ Where are these boys now? I guess tneVf have been tried in the big League, and founf wanting, eh? Since Mr. Wilson joined th£ Blues in May. his work has been anything bu* that of a $300 man. His many errors havv contributed materially towards the loss c< several games, and

HIS HITTING.well, it©s best not, to speak of it at this tirrie^ as Park seems to have come to his senses, ant stated to-day that he would rejoin the club an<[ try to earn his salary. He is mighty fortu, nate to catch Manning in a tight box, or tut • would probably return to his grocery establish* ment in Denver for the balance of the season.

WILD BILL BVBRETTand Billy Phyle are still balking, and hav< probably gone out of the business. Ontfieldet Sam Dungan is playing first base in grau<| style, and is the only sure hitter on the team. Manning is still trying to strengthen his club, while Dale Gear is arguing that carf will bite on hook in St. Joe. To support hit case he will call on John Ganzell.

EDW. KUNDEGRABEB.

The Unexpected Snags Struck by Mack©s Men.

Milwaukee, June 9. Editor "Sporting Life:"* Something is radically wrong with the Brewerr whether it is a hoodoo or something else, cannot say, but one thing is certain, the. are not playing such ball as they apaprentlj are capable of playing. Of the thirteen gamef played since commencing the home series, si* have been won; seven lost.

AN EVEN SPLITis the best we could do with Minneapolis. Cleveland and Detroit. Of these 12 games 1 were for extra innings; two 12 inning gamei with Cleveland were won; of two 10 inningi games with Detroit one was won, the other lostl and one 10 inning game with Minneapolis wai won, making 4 out of 5 extra inning gamei won. This of©itself is a good showing, but more games ought to have been won.

THE HOOSIERS : opened here to-day, winning, 8 to 2, whil« the home team did some very good fielding work, and also some very stupid Work, espec ially on the bases. The visitors are putting© up a good article of ball, and the same i* accompanied with a great deal of good luck.

PLAYER MOVES.On Monday last Reitz notified Manager Macte

that he would not return here, as he had decided to stay and play on the Pacific Coasv. He was promptly suspended without pay fot the season. Tommy Dowd was purchased from the Chicago White Stockings, and is now playing left field, Anderson going to first base. Pitcher © Flaherty. who was purchased from Pittsburg nearly two weeks ago, has as yet failed to report or made known his intentions in aujr way. H. H. COHN.

PROGRESS OF EVENTS IN CHARLEY POWER©S LEAGUE.

The ChampionsMp Race in Full Pro gress Results 61 the Contests and Record ol the Race News ol the Organization and the Players,

This race is b©eco©ming hotter. All of the games are fiercely contested, ,and, extra-inning games are becoming© monotonously frequent. Even the tail-end teams are putting up good bull and are no longer snaps tor the leaders. An exciting finish to this race is extremely probable. The record to June 11, inclusive, ia »s follows:

j Shay, but he does not cherish the notion of letting his good men get away for the present. A League team is also among the numerous bid ders for the services of this fast and promising youngster.

ANOTHER MANon Manager Finn©s list who is attracting con siderable notice from outside managers is out- flelcler John Gilbert, who appears by -far the premier ot the league. Gilbert is hitting timely and often, seldom allowing a game To go by without his biugle. and he is exceptionally ©fast on the bases. "Brownie," as he has been dubbed, has already become the terror of all pitchers, as they are constantly kept on guard watching for bunt hits which itbey cannot handle, as this science seems td© be,©the little fielder©s forte, and when a dump is made his opponent has got to be exceptionally fast to cut him off at first.

GILBERT IS ANOTHERfast young player who is booked for faster company, but we would hate to part with him at present. The injunction .-.case against Sunday playing was heard last week, but no decision was given, as the judge -asked for a few days© time to consider the evidence. A decision is expected early the coining week. The team did not play with Mansfield yesterday as scheduled, as the restraining order was held in effect and prevented the game. Our hopes of getting Tom Fleming have now gone glim mering, since he has gone to Hartford. We had hoped to sec Tom added to the team.

PORTSMOUTH POINTERS.Portsmouth, Va.. June 11. Editor "Sporting

Life:" Several important changes- have, been made.,, jn the outfield of the Portsmouth club, whicli seem to bring good results. Murry has been sent from centre field to right field, and Ivoh_nle goes from, right field to centre field. Kenimer has been doing fine work behind the bat during the absence of Tusky from the game, on account of a lame leg. Nothing is too nigh or too low for Chesty to handle.

THE OUTFIELDis very strong being composed of Tongley, Kobnle. ancl Murry, who play their positions well and have always upheld their reputations as hitters, for every other game Murry knocks in a home run over the fence.

THE PITCHING STAFFis also very strong. Lutich, Persons, Morrisey and Colenuin being the box artists, the latter being a puzzle to the aggregation of ball players from Petersburg and Newport News.

AUOUND THE BASES.Bammert is a "peach" at short field, for he

is a terror to all batters who knock any his way.

"Win" Clark has been elected captain and manager of the team.

Myers "Big Sham" is holding down the initial bag in a fine manner.

Two frohi Petersburg and three from Newport News is not so bad for a week©s work at home.

A-:new schedule has been arranged in which Portsmouth plays three games at home this week with Norfolk ©instead of being absent, as the Old schedule reads.

No More Games in the Atlantic League For This Club,

Elmira, June 11. Editor "Sporting Life:" It is probable the Atlantic League has seen its last days of tbe present season. Heading came here with a few professionals and more ama teurs. They had trouble of their own over the payment of salaries and so had the Eliniras.

James J. Corbett was here to-day to play first base for Elmira and was to receive 45 per cent, of tbe proceeds. There-\y.as an attendance of 350O, and while Corbett was slimbering on the bag a representative of the Elmira players attached the gate receipts for. back salaries. When the game was over Corl>ett protested, but in vain, and it is not likely he can secure his due.

Manager Smith said to-night that he would not take the team on another trip in the Atlan tic League, as Jersey City owes him $80 guar antee money, Newark $30 and the old Reading Association $50. The team will lie-kept together for a few days and^ an attempt, made to secure a franchise in the New York State League.

The Heading team, which played here to-day, was a very poor one and was defeated 19 to 4. The Allentown team, which played here Satur- day, was virtually out. .of the League then, tbe players paying their own expenses.

Third baseman "Kid" Haggerty, the well- knowu minor league player, is at liberty,, and "would like n .engagement for the rest of the se.ri->n. © Address Ueor;;e > Haggerty, care of "Morn-ing Would," Holyoke, ©Mass,

ATLANTICJEAGUE.TOGEL©S ORGANIZATION GIVES UP

THE FIGHT,

The Reorganization Plan Fails Owing to the Trickery and Incapacity ol the Philadelphia Backers and the League Quietly Dissolves.

The reorganization of the Atlantic League was a fizzle, owing to the failure of the Philadelphia backers to make good their promises for Reading and Harrisburg, and for a week past the race has been such a farce that on June 11 the Elmira club also dropped out, thus virtually killing the League, as no cham pionship games have been played since that date. The maladministration of affairs at Reading, Jersey City and Newark has brought reproach upon everything connected with the Atlantic League and woefully injured the sport in those towns. The completed record for the short-lived campaign is as follows:

Allentown..........Harrigburg ........Elmira .............Jersey City ........Newark.......... ..Reading ............Scrnnton............Wilkestmrre.......

News and Gossip.The Elmira club practically withdrew from the

League on Tuesday last.Manager Sharsig, of Allentown, is ill, suffer

ing from inflammation of tbe stomach.At Scrauton, June 7, pitcher Kervin, of Scran

ton, held Harrisburg down to one safe hit an infield scratch and shut them out.

James J. Corbett has been secured to make a tour of the Atlantic League circuit, playing first base for the home team in each city. -

At Wilkesbarre, June 7, Wilkesbarre made 23 runs and 23 hits off the pick-ui> "Heading-" team. Bill Clyrner made 5 hits, and Nyce and Colliflower 4 hits each.

Three pitchers in .the Atlantic League are ripe for National League company, or at least worth a trial. They are Stimmel, of Allentown; Owens, of Wilkesbarre, and Kerwln, ©of Scran ton.

Umpire Hardee Henderson, of this League, deserves a place on the National staff, by rea son of his fine work in the Atlantic. Henderson is a much better umpire than either Svvartwood or O©Day.

On June 8 the Wilkesbarre Club refused to play its scheduled game with Reading, owing to th« scrub team presented by the latter. The Beading Club had only nine players, three bats and a mask and several of the- players were amateurs, and poor ones at that.

The Eastern League papers are beginning to resent President Fogel©s flings at President Pat Powers, and the Hartford "Post" raps Mr. Fogel as follows: "President Fogel of the ©Hot Air League,© otherwise known as the disjointed Atlantic League, is as full of gas as an open sewer , in August."

At Scranton. June 11. the game with Allen town was forfeited to Scranton in the second inning by Umpire Russel, on account of Jim Delabanty©s refusal to leave the game when ordered to do so, for using foul language and constant kicking. The score at the time was 4 to 3 in favor of Scranton.

The Wilkesbarre Club, to reduce expenses, has released pitcher Magee, catcher Earlier and third basman Nyce. In their place pitcher J. P. Burke, of Bonaventure College, and first base man Beaumont, of Heading, have been signed. It is understood that second baseuuin Burns and catcher Messett are for sale to any oluh offering a fair figure, and Buffalo is desirous of getting short stop Olymer.

SCANDALOUS CHARGES

Are Being Bandied About in Atlantic iieague Circles.

Philadelphia, Pa.. Juno 12. Editor "Sporting Life:" Serious charges are being made by play ers and others against Maiiager Ben Fleishinan. of Heading. Manager Sam Mills, of Jersey City, and the hydra-headed club backer, © the atrical, manager Jermon of Philadelphia. The charges reveal a scandalous state /of affairs, and, according to President Fogel. a regular conspiracy to "do" everything and everybody connected with the Atlantic League.

In speaking of the matter to-day President

Fogel said: "Gradually the truth is coming out anent the troubles in the Heading and several other Atlantic League clubs, which go to show that the players and public have been badly treated in the said cities by the backers ( '!) of those clubs. Some civil cases for damages will no doubt be the outcome of the bad faith shown by certain Philadelphians, who posed as backers of several clubs, -and there is enough evidence of fraudulent dealing, like suppressing the attendance at games, mak ing the figures less than half what they act ually were, etc., at hand to warrant criminal prosecution, which will likely follow. To wipe out the scandal, and ©at least partially repair tbe damage done to base ball by the course pursued by these men, the National League will aid in their prosecution."

AIjLENTOAVN©S ATTITUDE

Is Now One of Indifference to the Douglas Team.

Allentown, Pa., June 11. It is all over. That is what most of the "fans" predict for the chances of having a team remain much longer in this city. Interest in the great national game is not running as high as it has been for the past few weeks, and no wonder, the playing of the locals at present is anything but good.. Although

SPLITTING EVENon this weeks© work, they should have won at least two more games considering their good batting. It is ridiculous to think of a tlub;. making 14 bits, and only scoring" three runs! This is a common thing for the locals. And still the>

MANAGEMENT IS KICKING at the small attendance at the games, and hence threatened to transfer the club. If Allentown were up among the leaders in the race, and had the management made any attenpt to strengthen the team as othe,- clubs do, the presence of good crowds would be the outco.ae, and instead of having 1500 people at the grounds -. on Memorial Day the management could have counted on 3000.

A POOR RECORD.Four defeats and four victories is the record

for this week©s work, capturing a .lou-ble-header from Harrisburg on the local grounds, Mid win ning one each from Wilkesbarre and Elmira at the latter places, and in return losing two each to the same clubs, Wilkesbarre and Khnira. There have been

MORE TEAM CHANGESgoing on during the past two weeks than dur ing the entire season to date. Joe Delehanty has been taken from left field to first base, Frank West is playing second. Tommy News from first base to catcher, and a new man ia being tried at short stop by the name of Law- son. Judging from bis playing in >he last few games he cannot be of much account.

CATCHER M©MANUS.who has been putting up a grc»at article of ball in this city for the last few seasons, has been sold to Chicago, of the American League. Mr. Comiskey is to be congratulated in landing so good a man as Mac, who will .greatly strengthen his catching department. McManus was the best man that ever donned the mask in the© Atlantic League. His throwing to bases was of the very highest order.

CAUGHT ON THE- FLY.Manager Sharsig did not accompany the teain

on its trip, being laid up with a complaint of the sto^nach. Tom Delehanty acted as mana-

Frank West is holding down© second like a veteran.

The local club is badly in need of a catcher, but Manager Sharsig will have to travel pretty far before be will get across one as good as , McManus. He was certainly a coi-ker.

Stimrnel is being hit rather hard this reason considering last season©s good work. But there is a big difference between this and last season, isn©t it, Archer? SAMUEL WEIL.

IBWIN©8 EXPERIENCE.

The Ex-Newark Manager Gives Some Inside Facts.

Boston, Mass., June 10. Editor "Sporting Life:" Manager John Irwin. who has been handling the Newark Base Ball Club, returned from that city last week. Mr. Irwin was simply , the manager of the club, the owners being a trio of Philadelphia capitalists, who operated, be sides, the clubs in Jersey City and Heading and . the Athletics of Philadelphia.

A POOH SCHEME.Mr. Irwin said that the scheme had been a

losing one from the start, and. a week ago Monday his club quit because the ghost did not walk. -At that time the "ghost,"-was $1000 be hind the .game. Tbe same conditions existed in. Jersey City and Philadelphia. The Philadelphia failure showed anew that a major League city would not patronize minor league ball. The Jersey City players were turned out of a hotel in Heading without a cent. It is expected that they will continue from that town. The League will go on with the Western circuit.

TALK OF PLAYERS.Among the New England players in the New

ark team were "Hi" Ladd. who has gone to his home; Conroy, the ©longshoreman, who has returned to Portland, and Curtis. the catcher, who went to Worcester. Mr. Invin speaks en thusiastically of the work of Tom Murphy, the Natick boy, who played with him in Man chester last year. He said that Murphy played a wonderful game at second base, a position en tirely new to him, and he predicts a bright future for him. Viau, Mr. Irwiu says, pitched better ball than ever before.

WILKESBAllKE©S WAIL.

Making Changes to Reduce Expenses in View of the Outlook.

Willilamstown, Pa., June 11. Fxlitor "Sport ing Life-" After a rather disastrous week finan cially, < > Atlantic League faces the struggle of the ,.ext six days and the problem of lasting until July 4 for the big crowds at the "double headers." The new Heading team and the Harrisburg club have proved failures. Neither has won a game and Heading out of six games played has been "whitewashed" three times and scored only 11 runs to her oppo nents© :84. The game scheduled with th.e team : in this city on Friday was postponed owing -© to the club©s weakness.

REDUCING EXPENSES. - ; ;© .;All the teams have drawn ©fpoorly. - and thertj

is little hope of the attendance increasing, j while they cannot reduce -expenses mux-h with- -, out falling apart. Wilkesbarre has sent pitcher Magte back to Pittsburg : and released third '• . baseman Nyce. J. P. Burke, a pitcher on the , St. Bonaventura College, has been engaged. .

CREAM©S CHATRELATIYE TO BILLIARDS AT HOME

AND ABROAD.

01 Interest to Room Keepers A New American Brand ol Billiard Cloth Which Is Said to be Even Superior to Simoni©s Best Items ol Interest,

Mr. G. B. Hubbell, an extensive whole sale dealer iii billiard goods, and also a manufacturer, if we are not. in error, not of tables, but billiard supplies, informs us that his house now handles a billiard cloth which is manufactured in this country, which is uot only as good as Simonis© one cloth, but sells for about half the price which is now paid for the Simonis© brand. Mr. Hubbell is no mere hawker in billiard goods, but a man who was prac tically born In the billiard; business, as his father was champion of one of the Mew England States more than a generation ago, or in the days when State tournaments were created in the interest of the room keepers and the busi ness of this country; When the salary list crime was unknown, and when pool for drinks had not been hatched out as one of the most monstrous wrongs ever known against the best interest of the game of billiards. No one knows better than Mr. Hubbell does, that it would injure and not benefit him to make a false statement to room keepers of experience In this country. Entirely independent, however, of any financial consideration. Mr. Hubbell is not a man who would willingly, knowingly or intentionally resort to any deception to room keepers or any one else. He is not, however, a professional room keeper, and his cloth has not as yet been on the market long enough to pass the crucible of professional experience. He may be right in thinking and considering his goods quite as good as the Simonis article, and yet be wrong through no fault of his, simply owing to the fact that this new cloth has not as yet been tested by the lead room- keepers of the country.

W. P. Mussey. of Chicago, however, who has 48 tables in his establishment, is now using only the very cloth of which we write. We were

recently shown a letter from Br. Mussey to Mr. Hubbell relative to this billiard cloth, in which Mussey speaks of it in the highest terms, and regards it as being superior to the Simonis article, owing to the fact that, while It wears quite as well as the Simonis cloth, it retains its color longer, or does not fade so soon. There is probably no roomkeoper in this country to-day who is more critical or exacting in the quality of- the goods to be used in his business than Mr. Mussey. Simon- is© -cloth, as a matter of fact, however, does not get time to fade on the tables of most of the leading rooms in this country; for the simple reason that the tables in such rooms are gener ally covered about three times a year. It is true that this applies but to rooms which prac tically do a phenomenal business. In other rooms equally fine, but not so favdred with patronage as to make it possible to change- the cloth so often, the retention of color is of very considerable importance.

That, however, which will strike the room- keepers of this country with all the force of a sledge hammer, is the fact that this new brand of cloth can now be purchased for about $3.75 per yard, or about 75 per cent, cheaper than what has been paid, as a rule, for Simonis© cloth for nearly forty years past. When it is considered that rooms with from 8 to 12 tables have .to pay nearly $1.000 a year for covering tables, it will readily be seen that it is no "sport of fortune" to be a room keeper. That Simonis© one billiard cloth can be sold to room- keepers in this country at five dollars per yard, and have a fair profit to those who manufacture and handle it. there is no doubt in our mind , That it will be sold in the market of this coun try for such a price in a year from now if this new cloth is all that Messrs. Hubbell and Mussey represent it to be, is not only our opinion, but a question if the Simonis brand of cloth can command any such price then.

The war tax robbery on billiard tables, and on everything else, is now an assured fact for another year, notwithstanding the protests of the press and public in all parts of the country against a wrong which would probably not be tolerated in any other country. As a matter of fact, this war tax should not have been imposed on the public more than one year. It is on, however, for another year, and that is all there is of it. Room keepers in all parts of the country will be obliged to pay their tax before the 30th inst. The work which the Roomkeepers© Association of Amer ica has done in this matter has opened the eyes of the roornkeepers of this country to the importance and necessity of looking after their own business. This effort of the Association to have the war tax removed has done more to bring roomkpepers together, and act in harmony in th« future, than any other event in their business during the past forty years. The Roomkeepers© Association is now practi cally established in all parts of the country, and" with the creation of branch organizations in every city to handle and manage professional billiards and the general interest of the busi ness at large, there should be such an era of prosperity in store for the roomkeepers of America as has not been known in the his tory of the game.

W. P. Mussey, accompanied by his wife, has been on a two weeks© fishing trip in Michi-

Rev. John J. Ferry, of St. Teresa©s Church. this city, died suddenly of Bright©s disease at the German Hospital. Newark, N. J., about two weeks ago, while on his way to New York to consult a specialist there regarding a nasal obstruction which caused him much pain and annoyance. He was taken sick in Newark and went to a hotel there, and was subsequently removed to the hospital, where he died. His re mains were sent on to this city. Father Ferry was probably one of the best known Catholic priests in this city among billiard men, owing to his great admiration for the game of bil liards. Although the writer has often wondered

if much of this admiration was not spiritual, with the view of keeping "his billiard men" up to their religious duties. Father Ferry at one time was a member of the American Billiard As sociation. That his enthusiasm for the game was great, there can be no doubt, and at times seemed second only in his zeal to save souls. There never was a more devout or sincere priest of God than he. I could write a chapter V>n the life of this man, compared with which romance could scarcely be considered. Unlike that remarkable and extraordinary figure iu the world of religion for nearly fifty years the Nun of Kinmare who was a convert to Catholicism, Father Ferry was such by blood, race, nationality and otherwise. While the more than gifted nun, whose pen productions are known to the world, early in her life embraced . the same faith. And yet there is much in common in the lives of the two who probably never saw each other to suggest the romance of life, no matter whether in the clois ter or in the outer world.

Hero worship takes strange forms in this world. An amateur in one of our rooms who does not often win a game, recently succeeded iu doing so. and immediately insisted that "Krugcr." and not his own name should be put on his private cue. JOHN CREAHAN.

It is too bad that New London and Meriden are without a good player-manager. Both these teams are composed of good players who would with a first-class player with managerial ability make a good show.

It now appears that Manager A. R. Penny, of Brooklyn, deserted his Meriden team with sal aries unpaid and also leaving unpaid bills in the town.

A good many of the regu© lars were absent, some off for bigger game in the trap shooting world, some already departed for their summer homes.

The day was perfect for the sport and, everybody present enjoyed the different events to the utmost. On such days as these there are many places which cannot compare with Wellington for cool comfort iu:d clear air, where an hour or two©s traf> shooting is not the least enjoyable of rec reations foi someb usy business men.

In this class are the two Held enthusi asts pictured last shoot with the novice at the traps showing the weekly attendant how to break them. To-day the erstwhile vanquished tasted mild yet sweet revenge by administering a dose of defeat to his companion of many a tramp in the brush. This leaves honors even, with more fun t© fellow next time, and showing that in terest is not lacking in trap events even where no money is wagered on results.

The field shooters had their innings in the three events shot with gun below the elbow and no calling of pull. Though scores were mediocre these "field" events were counted the best of the afternoon. All scores given below:

AT UTICITHE FORTY-SECOND ANNUAL NEW

YORK STATE SHOOT,

J. S, Fanning Makes a Big Record- Sim Glover Won Slate Champion ship Utica Won Dean Richmond Trophy Rochester Victorious,

In the course of time it will be discov ered that there are several important mat ters t<5 be considered iu advance and after wards carried out, to make a trap shoot ing tournament a howling success. The first is a catchy, attractive programme; the second is to issue at least a month be fore the date of the meet; the third to be up to the demands of the shooters of the present time. These three points were not fully observed by the Oneida County Sportsmen©s Association when they pre pared for the forty-second annual tourna ment of the New York State Sportsmen©s Association for the Protection of Fish and Game at Utica, N. Y., June 4 to 8. Therefore, it can hardly be said that the above mentioned tournament was a great and glowing success. From point of at tendance it was far from being equal to previous affairs given by the New York State Association, and in general satisfac tion it fell rather below the average.

IN THE FIRST PLACEthe programmes were not sent out until within a few days prior to the meet, and many did not see one until they reached the grounds. This is an error that is hard ly excusable. Then the events were made for two classes, which split up the entries so that neither class had a fair showing. Considerable dissatisfaction was expressed over the charge of three cents for tar gets, with only $10 added to every other purse, while the programme was just a little bit too long for the average shooter.

After the first day there was much amusement over the amount of winnings of the experts. There were fifteen to twenty experts in the expert class. Nearly all were real live experts, too. The tar gets were thrown nice and easy from a well-behaved Magautrap. The light and background was favorable. The guns were bored to perfection, the shells high grade, loaded with the best kinds of powder and the men were in prime condition. So it came to pass that anybody who was much of a marksman broke a few straights. After taking out three cents each for tar gets, the first money melted down to very small pickings.

THE MONEY WAS DIVIDED under the good old system of 30, 25, 20, 15 and 10 per. cent. This plan always did please the experts, as they claim that a straight is sure to pay ©well. When an expert breaks a straight he wants to get good action on his money. This percentage plan is bound to give it (nit). Now the Rose system but, well, that has been tried before. The Rose system would have been a nice paving plan here.

When no one falls out of the money and eleven men break straight and you pay in $2.00 and draw out 90 cents then you wonder why you would like to be an ex pert.

When fifteen men mingle in a twenty target offering and nine of them smile with satisfaction over a clean score of twenty you begin to wish yon could be an expert. "When you see these good men draw out 90 cents for their $2.00 then you puff up with pride to think you are a scrub am ateur with fifth money ($3.50), all by your self on 16 out of 20.

When you see "Jack" Fanning put in $24 and break 208 out of 210 targets with ten straight scores you cry out at the au dacity with which the experts rob the amateur. Then in the twilight you see "Jack" -Fanning draw out $21.60, or $2.40 less than he put in. And you long to be an expert so you can rob the poor, strug- ling ©85 per cent, amateur. All this and much more happened at Utica last week.

THE SHOOTINGbegan on Tuesday, June 5. Three Magau- traps did the business. One was for the amateurs who could not break 85 per cent, and others who could break 85 to 0~M> per cent. The third set was for State shooters, with a couple of open merchan dise plunder affairs, in which guns, sew ing machines, pants, golf vests, tons of coal, cases of canned tomatoes, clocks, doz ens of ginger ale, rocking chairs, suits of clothes, gas lamps, dog biscuits, safety razors pointer pups and many other use ful and ornamental articles too numerous tp mention made up a list of prizes which caused the trap shooters to scuffle to see who would get in their $5 first. Ihe four shotguns as first prizes in the first four classes were well worth winning and caused a spirited argument at the flying targets. And everybody won a prize.

THE FIRST DAYopened in a favorable manner, with pleas ant weather. The amateurs settled down to skinning each other and the experts to making records. In the expert class twen ty-six©shot through the programme of 210 shots, while a few of these shot 50 more in the State events.

For the 210 targets, B. C. Griffith, a sober industrious fellow, from Pascoag, R I broke 204, Elliott and Crosby broke 202 each, Glover 201 and Fanning 200. Several good runs were made, the best being 131 straight by Sim Glover, who was on earth again after a balloon trip of two years. Crosby had a run of 67, Brewer 65, Fanning 51.

It may be interesting to know that Grif fith, who made high average, witU 97 per

cent., Mras exactly 45 cents winner, which included first average money. How would you like to be an expert©.©

In the amateur class there was lots of sport, G. H. Pumpelly, of Owego, found the right spot and cleaned up several firsts alone, just about doubling his en trance for the day and making a run of 107 straight. Pumpelly broke 167 out of 175; W. H. Brown, of Binghamtou, was next, with 163; Morris, of Baldwinsville, third, with 161; and Wadsworth fourth, with 160. These men were advanced to the expert class on the following day.

In the two State events there were a good lot of entries, over sixty making a try for the fat purses. Glover and Brewer were alone, with 25 straight in the first, which paid them $20 apiece., The others hardly got their entrance back on 24, 23, 22, 21, 20, 19 and 18. As there were eight moneys, the best scores paid poorly, owing to the many ties.

THE MEETINGwas held Monday night. There was a large attendance. The New Utrecht Gun Club, of Brooklyn, made a bid for the next tour nament, and it was granted them. They promised a rousing big shoot, at Interstate Park, New York, in 1901, and will give it without a doubt. It was agreed to allow the clubs from Greater New York to be considered as from one county. It was agreed that the State events, a total of 175 targets for the three days, should count for the individual championship of the State.

THE PROGRAMMEfor the first day called for 12 events in the expert class, a total of 210 shots, at a cost of $24. The sum of $10 was added to six of the events. The amateui©s had ten events, calling for 175 targets, at a total cost of $20. The sum of $10 was added to five of the purses. Five per cent, was de ducted for daily average.

In the State events two races were shot on each of the three days. The entrance in these sweeps was $4, with eight moneys.

The following were classed as State ex perts and compelled to break 24 out of 25 to figure in the division of State money: J. L. Brewer, Edward Banks, E. D. Ful- ford, H. McMurchy, Colonel A. G. Court- ney and Sim Glover. The scores follow:

SECOND DAY, JUNE 6.The weather was warm, with little wind

to cool the heated brow of the struggling crackajack, who was endeavoring to make a world©s record, "even if it did cost money. :

The same programme prevailed as on the previous day. Several of the amateurs who had been advanced to the expert class failed to show up. They could see no fun in breaking 95 per cent, and losing money. Some of them folded their guns and start ed for the Interstate shoot in New York to squander the money they won in the amateur class on the first day.

The experts had a merry time juggling with straight scores. It reached such a point that when one of the fellows missed a target or two he was made the butt of many merry jests. E. C. Griffith, the win ner of first average on Tuesday, was mak ing a gallant struggle to save the 45 cents he had skinned the boys out of the day before. He fell down a bit, losing seven birds in 210, so it is likely some 85 per cent, amateur got his 45 cents.

J. S. Fanning was anxious to pay ex penses, so he hit up all but two for the day. Just think. Fanning broke 208 out of 210, with a run of the first 63 strnicrht and the last 98 straight, and divided first money in ten out of twelve events, yet he was just $2.40 loser. Had he broken the other two birds he could not have quit even with the game. This© all comes from making too easy breaking Blue Rocks, nice, smooth working Magautraps, high grade shells, even burning powder, perfect shooting guns and allowing a man to point the combination straight. What we want now to revive the sport is cast-iron targets thrown forty rods and put the shooters back to 30 yards rise.

The next men to Fanning were Grif fith and Crosby, who broke 203; Elliott 200, Hull 199, yet not one of these men quit even with the game. Who got the money? Why, the amateur with an 80 to 85 per cent, average. He got the money. This was where the poor down-trodden am ateur skinned the paid expert.

In the amateur class there was a scat tering lot of entries through the ten events. Only five finished the programme. Wride broke 157 out of 175; Green 155, Willey and Tuttle 148; "333," 144.

No. 3 of the State event was an open merchandise affair. This had about forty entries. While it was first announced as open to the world some kick was made against the paid expert, who resides out of the State, and these good gentlemen graciously with drew from the contest. They were Cros by, Fanning, Elliott, Le Roy, Hull and Hallowell. v

The ties in the merchandise were shot off and several hot races resulted. The oest runs of the day were 104 straight by Van Alien; 98 by©Banks, 85 by Wagner, 63 and 98 by Fanning, the last named run ning the last 98 on the programme. The scores follow:

A rather close, sultry day first appeared, but the drizzling rain closed early, and the sport went on as before.

The experts continued to hang unto each other. There were some of them who be lieved Griffith still had that 45 cents, and they struggled manfully to get it. In the morning the management announced that the expert class would have but nine events, or a total of 155 targets for the day. and the amateurs would have ten events, of 15 targets each, or a total of 150. Sixteen men completed the expert events, and only two© amateurs went through the ten events on their Magau trap.

For the experts. Fanning shot a wonder ful race. Taking his last. 98 straight on Wednesday, he started in and broke the first 133 straight, making a record of con tinuous breaks of 231 straight targets. This is a world©s record for this kind of work. ©The first target he missed was in the open handicap on the State Mhgautrap. On the sweep programme of 155 birds he skipped but a single one, but even with such great shooting he failed to win his entrance. To show the quality of the men, in one 20-target event, with eighteen en tries, fline broke 20 straight, two broke 10, three broke 18, two broke 17 and two broke 14. All were in the money when it was divided.

Crosby followed Fanning, with 152 broken out of io5, and a run of 114 straight; Elli ott broke 151. Griffith 150. Wagner, Morfey and Fulford 149. Wagner made a run of 155 straight.

On the State events a four-men team match and an open handicap affair were held. Rochester won the team match, with 78 out of 80. A handicap, open to all, had thirty entries. It developed into a red-hot shoot, and, in order to settle it the same day, the Magautrap was run to its highest speed, and the boy who peddled it was en couraged by the "rooting" of the specta tors. After 75 rounds had been shot in the tie Kelsey, Glover and Le Roy agreed to split the first three prizes, which were as follows: One Parker gun. 5000 Blue Rocks and a sewing machine. The other winners were Brewer, Wagner, 1©addleford, May- hew, Hopkius, Byer.. Fulford, Griffith, Wheeler, Palmentor, Crosby, Dr. Bill, Mor fey and Gates. They carried home a sun dry collection of shells, stuffed owls, kecrs of©beer, chairs, lap robes, barrel of flour, etc., etc., etc.

Decoration Day Shoot of the New Haven Gun Club.

New Haven, Conn., May 31. Editoi "Sporting Life:" The Decoration Daj shoot at the New Haven Gun Club was an event to be long remembered. The shoot wis a grand success, and so was the lunch, which was brought on the grounds in a wash tub of ice. Who the ."iceman" was no one knows. But his lunch was artistically put up in baskets and bottles. A special prize of a fine, soft felt hat. was put up by Mr. J. H. Hardy, the practical hatter, of 405 State street, and a 15-target event was called to determine who would get the hat. Mr. Miram Clark scored 14 out of the 15 alone, thereby entitling him to the prize. Mr. Clark says he know? the hat is only intended for summer wear, but that he will put. some fur on it when the cold weather sets in and try and rnak© it last until next season, when he thinks Mr. Hardy will come out with some new styles.

ELESRECORD BREAKER.

At the 111. Gun Club©s Shoot, April 30, May 4th, 1900, Mr. FRED. GILBERT with DU FONT SMOKELESS established two new records: 50 pigeons straight from the 31 yard mark, and 97 out of 100 targets at reversed angles.

Iron Medal.At London. O., May 20, J. A. R. Klliott,

of Kansas City, defeated R. O. Heikes, of Dayton, O., for the Cast Iron medal, which the latter won from Elliott at Yardville, N. J., last spring.

The conditions were favorable for .good scores, as uo wind was blowing and the birds started well.

Elliott started out in grand form, grass ing the first 58 straight. Then he lost a bird, killed four straight and had one fall dead outside. From that point he scored straight, thirty-six in all and won with a score of 98 out of 100.

Heikes lost but one bird out of his first sixty-five and that was dead outside. Then he struck hard luck and had six scape, all but one being dead outside.

This gave him a total of 93 dead out of lis 100. The scores follow:

100 live birds, for Cast Iron Medal and $100 a side.

FOURTH DAY, JUNE S.A drizzly rain WHS on when the events

were ready, but this soon ceased and the sky cleared. .There was not a breath of air stirring and the heat was oppressive.

The birds did not. start any better than usual at this time of the year, and most of them wore easily killed. Fulford©s traps were used, which flushed the birds well j when They felt like ilying. For the most | I»art© tiic bad* started ou tiie c^cuiu^ oil

the traps. The first event was a miss and out, with nineteen entries. Nine men killed straight. The second was a miss and out, which was divided on the elev enth round by five men. Event three was a seven-bird race, iu which seven killed straight.

The State event for the Dean Richmond trophy came next and was shot off in a rapid manner, over 150 birds an hour be ing the rate. There were a few real good ores, but for the most part they started as "summer birds" always do, no matter how good they are.

Only four teams entered. The New Utrecht, of New York, put in two, Utica one and Syracuse one. It soon settled down to Utica. who w?nt out with 58 out of 60. Gates and Mayhew killed 19 and Fulford 20: Syracuse and New Utrecht No. 2 tied for second on 50. The sensation al kill of the day was made by Hallock, of the New Utrechts No. 2. He is a new shooter and does nicely. His eleventh bird was a fast overgoer. He was very slow with his second and when he fired the bird was nearly to the outer boundary. At the second shot it fell stone dead, fully a, 75 yard kill, being just within the line.

The best work of the day was done by Tom Morfey, who shot at 50 birds and killed them all. E. D. Fulford and Mc- Murchy killed their 20 birds straight in the team match. The scores follow:

Dean Richmond trophy event. Team of three men; 20 live birds per man; entrance free $20 per team: birds extra, at 30 cents each; money divided 60 and 40 per cent.

NOTES OF THE SHOOT.John S. Fanning used an L. C. Smith

gun, L. & R. powder, loaded by the Union Metallic Cartridge Co. in Acme oases. "Jack" made best general average, .977 per cent. He made a score of 231 straight breaks, which is the best record of the kind in the world.

John J. Hallowell, of the U. M. C. Co., ; and a resident of Philadelphia, was in vited to shoot iu the State event. Tins he did for price of targets. New York is dif ferent from the Keystone State.

Sim Glover knocked off work on a pair of half soles, packed up his Parker gun, purchased some U. M. C. shells loaded with Schultze powder and shot in a frock coat and derby hat. He entered the open sweeps tke tirst day, broke s)5 per cent.,

drew out what was left af his $24 en trance and lost himself in deep thought. The next day he forgot the open sweep but paid strict attention to State events. Sim had to break 24 or no count, so he just broke 25 straight each time. He won the State championship, breaking 174 out of 175 targets in the State events for three Vi.vs. Sim is now on earth again.

E. D. Fulford, with his Remington gun, Schultze powder and U. M. C. shells won the Lefever gun in the shoot-off of the second class, but he had to break 24 straight to do it. E. D. was one of the four high experts with au average of .©J44 per cent.

Tom Keller distinguished himself in the Dean Richmond trophy race, killing 10 out of 20 birds. Tom also distinguished him self at the base ball games. He is a reg ular fan rooter. Tom made many new friends for the Peters Cartridge Co. and King Powder Co., which he represents.

B. Lc Roy, with Remington gun, Du Pont powder and U. M. C. shells, was one of the crackajack squad. He made many straight scores and pulled out one o.f the rive high gun averages.

A. J. Cameron. Chas. Roberts and J. A. R. Elliott looked after the interests of the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. They were very busy all the time. Elliott did the shooting while his partners did the talking.

Ben Norton, of the Hazard Powder, was wide awake and hustling for the "Blue Ribbon" Smokeless.The New Utrecht, Gun Club filled the

town with large white buttons, which were in great .demand. Ed. Banks had something to do with it.

Oom Paul Hopkins is a sure shot on low targets.

Jerry Hurley, M. Woodlock, Geo. Vil- leman, Fred. Betts and Ben Ellis, of the Utica Base Ball Club, were interested spec tators ou several days. They will soon be trap shooters.

Geo. Bartlett and Howard Marlin look ed after the interests of the Marlin Fire arms Co.

Col. A. G. Courtney, with Remington guns, said he would not break ©em all be cause it would discourage the young men who were using other makes of guns. He had a sample of a new model Remington hammerless $500 gun which was a taea~uty. The engraving, checkering and gold scroll work was of the highest grade. The new feature was a cross bolt, similar to the Greener. It was indeed a handsome sam ple of the gun maker©s art.

J. R. Hull, of Parker Brothers, kept track of those who used Parker guns and found many winners. He shot a 92 per cent, gait for three days.

W. It. Crosby was in second place with .068 per cent, and quit a loser. He used his old friend, the Baker hammerless gun, aud his load was 44 grains of E. C. powder in Leader shells.

Eugene Griffith was first on the opening day, with 204 out of 210. He was 45 cents winner, and the boys wanted him to blow it in for wine. He shot a Parker gun, L. & R. powder in Leader shells.

J. A. R. Elliott was as steady as a clock and put up an average of .961 per cent., yet he didn©t© win enough money to buy a postal card. Jim used a cheap Winchester gun, Hazard powder and Winchester Lead er shells.

Charlie Wagner, the old war horse, was as active as a two-year-old. He lined up several 25 straights in the State events, broke 75 straight in the handicap, aud cleaned up things generally. He averaged .94 per cent, in the open and .96 per cent, in the State events. In the merchan dise race he won ti stuffed owl. When he gets mad he intends to kick the stuffing out of it. Charlie was using his old Smith gun which has done him great service in years gone by. His load was L. & It. in U. M. C. Acme shells.

"Dr. Bill" was Louie Schortemier. He won a high average as au amateur with .93 per cent.

Harvey MeMurchy, fresh from Califor nia, looking as princely as ever, was re ceiving the hearty congratulations of his host of friends. He was shooting his usual clever race, and said: "I told you so," when Fanning made the run of 231 straight. Fanning was using an L. C. Smith gun. "Mac" says all the long runshave been wade, wltfc Smith, guns,

211 straight, Fanning©s previous 175 and now his world©s record of 231.

Tom Morfev killed fifty live birds straight on the last day. He used Rifleite powder and U. M. C. shells. His average at tar gets was 92 per cent.

Steve Van Alien is a comer. He made© one run of over 100 straight, and landed an amateur average with .923 per cent.

Dan Leferer was just as spry as everand showing off Lefever gun iu good style.

Henry Whitney shoots but once a year,and that is at the State shoot. He alwaysbreaks over 90 per cent.

H. L. Gates, E. D. Fulford and Gus Dexter looked after the management of the shoot. C. It. Mizuer had the office work in charge.

Harry Liviugstou returned to Saratoga after the first day.

Tallett, of Watertown, carue in for one day©s shooting.

Geo. Mosher had hard luck in the Dean Richmond trophy contest.

Dr. Weller dabbled in both open and amateur events, with several high scores.

Charley Tiittle was the only represen tative from Auburn. He enjoyed himself for one day only.

Harry Kirkover represented the Buffalo- Audubon Club. Where was the rest of them? See next week©s scores.

Ed. Banks, of the E. C.. and Schultze Powder Co., was doing great work for the New Utrecht Gun. Club. He was also do ing considerable business for "E. C." and "Schultze." He averaged 02 per cent, in the State events, but could not win, as 96 per cent, was his stunt.

Charley North looked after the Magau- traps, but they behaved very nicely. Char ley is Paul North©s brother.

"Old Mort" Mayhew shot out the ties on 21 and won a steamer trunk. Now he wants to shoot for a steamer.

George Borst is one of the jolliest of the Re Chester crowd, and/ enjoys the sport, even if he does not break a hundred straight.

A number of interesting matches took place in the Rochester tent.

The shooters showed a generous and sportsmanlike spirit in buying nearly $25 worth, of tickets for the benefit base ball game, which will be given in Utica, July 5, for catcher "Jack" O©Neil, who was injured on June 7. Many of the shooter.-; were present at the game when O©Neil 1 was injured and they showed their sympathy iu the proper manner.

L. V. Byer, of Rochester, shot a ryml race on fast targets iu the handicap shoot off and won a valuable prize.

Many of the old-timers were on hand. Most noticeable of these was "Uncle Ben© Catchpole, who has attended nearly every meet of the New York State marksmen. He is 74 years old. "Uncle Sammy" Lyon

as another of the old guard. There were many present who would

have preferred the Rose system for divid ing the purses, particularly after the first day, when they drew down their winnings, which in most cases was less than their entrance. Certainly a system which does not pay a profit to an average of 95 per

it., and does pay a small profit to 85 to 90 per cent., is an unfair one. The Rose

stem would have been much better for the good shots at this shoot, but, on the other hand, not so good for the poor ones. Perhaps it is just as well, as it gave the 85 per cent, shots a chance to win more than the 95 per cent. men. Anyway, the Rose system is a fair one always, and.
