THE SPORTIHSTQ iLIFE. April 29. BILLIARDS. HEISEB AND MAGOIOLL Their Proposed Contest Other Topic* Pleasant to Forget, But Important to Remember. Efforts have been made for some time pnst to get up a match between Frank Itaggioli and John Randolph lleiser. Both of these gentlemen are now living in Chicago, where, it is said, Mr. lleiser intends to locate perma- nently and open a room in connection with Schaefer. Viewed in any way that is possi- ble, it will be a mistake if this proposed con- test is permitted to fall through. If handled properly in the interest of the calling and there are but few contests so handled at the present day a match between Heiser and Jlasgioli might be made to assume all the dignity and importance of a contest between really first-class masters of the game. During the past few years there seems to have been a latent power in the calling which has made it a studied effort to keep these match games a sort of secret as much as possi- ble. There was not, it is trne, any attempt at secrecy from the newspapers or journals which make billiards a special feature. At the same time there has been a reign of finan- cial economy resorted to in the handling and management of these contests and match games during the past five years, which, ten, fifteen or twenty years ago, was not only un- known, but which would simply not have been tolerated in the billiard world of that period. Let us come to the point at once by citing in example. Twenty years ago, for instance, when Nelrus, Plunkett and Kstephe were in the heyday of their professional prosperity, a contest between any two of these men was heralded from one part of the country to the ther. Three-sheet posters were not only gotten out then, but hundreds of these posters were printed and mailed to all the leading billiard rooms throughout the length and breadth of the land. All this was done at the expense of the match in question. What was the result? It not only extensively ad- vertised the plnyers all over the United States, but in every room where a poster was hung up it set the amateur players to talking billiards first and subsequently to playing the game. And yet these very players, that Is, Nelms, Plunkett laud Kstephe, great as Ihey were in their day, were not to be com- pared with such men as Heiser, Maggioli, McLaughlin or Spinksof to-day. Nor is that all. When match games were made fifteen or twenty years ago, the posters were printed from thirty to sixty days before the games took place. This not only gave the publican opportunity to learn that the games were an actual fact, butduring all this time rooin-keopers renpod tbe benefit of such contests through or from this very publicity. There seems to be an impression at the present d;ty that secrecy and not publicity is what Bbould govern these contests. This is not what is desired, but it is practically the result. Pub- licity is the one end in view, but it must be attained on condition that there shall be no expen'o involved. Tho fact is entirely for- gotten, overlooked or neglected tbat the aport- in<j press of this country has practically dropped billiards during the past ten or fifteen years with, perhnp*, tho single exception of TUB BJMRTING LIFB. It may seem like vanity on our part, but let us ask professional billiard men everywhere what wcuid bavo become cf the literature or the general interest of billiards during the patt ten or fifteen years or since tbe death ot Frank Queen, of the Clipper had not the writer con- stantly and persistently kept this literature alive? It may be argued that the daily press has to a great extent taken the place of the iportinp papers of ten or fifteen years »»o. The fact is that the billiard literature in the daily or Sunday papers is Kept alive in consequence of the calling having an acknowledged writer. It was so during Jlr. Queen's life, when Garno was his billiard editor. LetTmi Sponrma LIFE drop billarda, and the sporting journals in general, and let the game hive no regular writer to look after its interest week after week, month after month, year after year, and in a very brief period of time even tbe names of the greatest masters of the calling would sink into oblivion. But what of tho trado joirnils? How many of them are published to-day? Fifteen years ago there were not less than four published in this country. The Cullender Company pub- lished the Billiard Cue. the Brunswick <fc Bnlke Co. published the Mirror, Griffith & Co. published a trade journal, and so did that hon- ored veteran of tbe calling, Mr. L. Decker. We have forgotten tho naino of the latter publica- tions, and ae we desire to be accurate we do not care to get the mimes mixed by trusting to our memory. All four publications, however, were of vast benefit to the calling in the matter of advertising not only professionals but tbe business in general. At the present day the brunt little Mir'or is the only trade journal left to remind the billiard world of its present insignificance, comnared with its former great- ness or glory in this respect. Fortunately, however, the billiard world has THF. SPORTING LIFR with its regular weekly cir- culation of nearly 00,000 copies. This circulation will rea-b on an average nearly four readers to the pcper, or not much less thaa 250.000 readers eaoh week. At tbe Fame time the matter or importance of advertising professional contests should not be overlooked, and tbe fact that it is, is demonstrated in the case of the recent matches between Slosson and Schaefer, when a single poster was not on the market, so far as we ar» aware of, when Afr. Sobaefer met with his soci- dent, or only a few weeks before tho time for the first of these games to take place. To return, however, to tbe proposed match between Heiser and Mnggioli such B contest at the present day would in many respects create almost as vreat an interest in the calling as one between Ivc» and Slo.'son. There are many rea-oas why such should be the ease. Mr. Heiser, in the first place, is by common consent generally rejarded or conceded as being an Eastern export. It is true that he has threat- ened to deprive the East of tbe pleasure of his presence by locating in Chicago. This threat, however, is quite pardonable at present in view of the World's Fair. After that event shall be over, it will be time enough for tbe East to sigh over tbe loss of Mr. Heiser should he determine to remain peruianeutlv in the Welt. One thing can be said of Mr. Heiser now, and it is greatly to his credit; that the East or the West has never had a cleaner or more honor- able expert, and, no matter where he may lo- cate, it is certain that the game will not only be the gainer, but that tbe Eastern billiard world, which knows him best, will ever watoh his record with jealous and friendly interest. As an expert Mr. Heiser deserves to rank very much higher than is actually the case. It is unfortunate for this man that be is so physi- cally constituted that it is probably impossible for him to ever become a really great nerve player. As an all-round player, however, pure and simple, ho deserves to rank but little below 81 isson, Kehacfcr or lit). That Mr. Heiser is a very much stronger player than Mr. Maggioli is something which we are not prepared to state. That he is the better player of the two we have no right to as- ert until they shall decide that issue in what tbe only liudolpho would call "for blood." That Maggioli is by nature' or temperament calcu- lated to hive any very great advantage, if in- deed any, over Mr. Heiier, is something which we decline to believe. We have never had the pleasure of either meeting or peeing Mr. Mag- gioli play either to us should be esteemed as a high professional gratification, as we have every reason to regard Mr. M-ig^ioIi as being a gen- tleman. On one or two occasions we have been called on lo criticize bis professional hobbies, which criticisms were very naturally not re- ceived in the kindest spirit by that gen- tleman. Like most professionals, Mazgi- oli only remembers the harsh things which are said of him, but forgeU or does not refer to the many kindly considerations which mav be possible before or after. Tbo difference between Maggoili and other experts in this respect is that while others may think and do not reply, Maggoili replies with- out thinking. If this is Maggoili's general dis- position, and we have every reason to believe that each is the case, it would probably be the toss of a cent between Heiier and Maggoili in a professional contett,inosmueb as tbat Heiser is as likely to forget himself and lose his temper while playing a match game, as Maggioli is while not playing. Either weakness ia a great detriment to the ntudent of the game. Jous CREIHAN. DALY AND SPINKS. Fine Exhibition Playing T>y These Two Celebrated Experts. The recent exhibition at the 14-inch balk- line in New York between Daly and Spinks is purely of interest as to showing what these men are capable of doing, or at least Daly, whose past record is known, and now that he lias done so well m a series of exhibitions of a week's duration, it is to be hoped that he may pluck np a little courage and play a match game, which he has not done during the past ten years, or since Jan. 8, 1883,when lie defeated Sexton in New York. Mr. Spink's record in these exhibitions is such as to warrant the hope that there is a bright future in store for him in the billiard world, When a man can make a grand average of nearly ten at 14-inch balk-line game in nearly 2000 points he should be encouraged everywhere by the Iriends of billiards, es- pecially a youngster of Spinks' age. Mr. Italy's grand average in 2500 points was nearly 14, and his best run 121, while Spinks' largest run was 115. Runs of from 50 to 121 is certainly remarkable billiards at this style of game, even at exhibition plaj'ing. Mr. Daly had, of course, the advantage from the outset, inasmuch as that he not only played in liii own room but on his own table. It is doubtful if he would have defeated Mr. Spinks in a public hall under the same conditions. Mr. Daly is of the opinion tbat McLaughlin ill be afraid to play Spinks after reading of the average which Spinks made in this exhibition. McLaughlin's record as an exhibition player is not among the literature of the calling. Few men who are really match players care for any such notoriety, for the simple reason that it counts for nothing. McLaughlin, however, in the last game which ho played with Heiser in this city for $250 a side, made an average of 10 in 500 points at the same style of game. While playing Capron he made an average of 14, and an average of 11 while his opponent was Ives. All of this record was while playing in tourna- ments and for money. If Mr. Daly cannot ar- range a match between Spinks and "the cham- pion of Pennsylvania," it will be simply owing to the fact that Mr. Spinks does not care to re- main in the East long enough, and as McLaugh- lin has "other fish to fry," it should not bo ex- pected that he should run after Mr. Spinks. In tbe meantime it might not beabad idea for Daly to challenge McLaughlin, and Mr. Daly might then learn whether McLaughlin is really afraid to play Mr, Daly. Caroms. Tom Fair wants to dispose of hia business at Atlantic City. Edward McLaughlin is doing more business now than at any time during tho past ye&r. Imagine a dude asking a man who drinks buttermilk, if he would ''smoke a cigarette!" Maurice Daly is of the opinion that the Eng- lish ryftem of handicapping will have to be adopted in this country. Why not? Jacob Schaefer has so far recovered the use of his arm tbat he has issue.l a challenge to the billiardists of tbe world. Ivcs says he can't play Schaefer now as lie is going to England. James 11. Byrncs, of the Brunswick-B.-Col- lender Co., has just recovered from a severe attack of the grip. Mr. Byrnes has been par- ticularly unfortunate in the matter of sickness in his household during the past three or four years. Jacob Schaefer is already talking of playing a match with Frank Ives. The latter states that he does not care to make a match "nith a lame man." Later on Schanfer may not be "lame," but Ives may find himself laid up for professional repairs. William Sexton, who has been on tho sick list for several months past, gives another illu;- tretion of tho folly of professionals in not be- coming members of the American and National billiard associations. Had Mr. Sexton joined the organizations in question several years ago he would now he entitled to an iucome of about $50 per month. The great billiard match in London between John Roberts, Jr., champion of England, and Charles Dawson, of Yorkshire, 24,000 points up, Dawson to receive 9004 start, for £2000, was won by Dawson by 7004 points. He tnnde 22,204 points to Roberts' 24,000. Roberts' defeat cre- ated considerable excitement as he had been backed heavily. There is no reason why Jacob Schaefer and James K. Byrnes should not have received nearly $50 eich each month during their sick- ness from the American and National Billiard Association) were the'e men true to themselves. Fortunately the day is near when all sensible men connected with the calling will be glad to avail themselves of the advantages of self pro- tection which these associations offer. BASE BALL. OLD TIMES RECALLED. Twenty-Two Years of Professional Base Ball Summarized. The following will tell at a glance the cham- pion team, manager, captain and leading bats- man ever since professional base ball was organ- ized in this country: Ia 1809 and 1870 tbe Cincinnati Rod Stockings were the recognized champions, with Harry aud George Wright In command.

ClillJi. Looking back over twenty-two years of pro- fessional base ball, President Nick Young can find but one club that has an unbroken record, and that is Boston. Chicago missed 1872 owing to the disastrous fire in that city in the fall of 71. Harry Wright and Captain Anson are the only players still in the business who started out in '71, and the former has deroted his time to management during tho last eighteen years. Anson and O'Rourke, who will captain the Chicago and Washington teams this season, are the only men who have played ball without a break since the League was organized in 1876. Anson started in 1871 and O'Rourk^ in 1873. Boston has the honor of winning tho champion- ship nine out of 22 times, Chicago coming next with six pennants. George Wright has captained the greatest number of champion teams, in fact, his 12 years of professional playing found him with winners all but twice. Twenty-four cities have been represented in the League since 187(5. -Of this number but seven have managed to win a pennant, viz., Boston, Chicago, New York, Providence, De- troit, Brooklyn and Philadelphia. Not the Best Prophet, Judging by History. From the New York World. John B. Day thinks the prospects for snccess- ful base ball are good. "I see no reason," eaid he yesterday, "why the coming season should not be a good one. I do not suppose that it will be as suce«frsful as some of tbe years just pre- vious to the split, but it should not entail further luss." COLLEGE BALL. GAMES OF A WEEK. Scores of the Contests and Gossip of Players. At Birmingham April 14 the University of Alabama bori and the Vunderbilt University met and for sixteen innings they fought, and when the sun went down they had made a new reoord for '93, tho longest game of the new sea- son. Smith made both runs for the Alabama*, and Hendrix scored both for the Nashville team. The score; V. OF ALA. AB.It.B. P.

THE SPORTIHSTQ iLIFE. April 29.

BILLIARDS.HEISEB AND MAGOIOLL

Their Proposed Contest Other Topic* Pleasant to Forget, But Important to Remember.Efforts have been made for some time pnst

to get up a match between Frank Itaggioli and John Randolph lleiser. Both of these gentlemen are now living in Chicago, where, it is said, Mr. lleiser intends to locate perma­ nently and open a room in connection with Schaefer. Viewed in any way that is possi­ ble, it will be a mistake if this proposed con­ test is permitted to fall through. If handled properly in the interest of the calling and there are but few contests so handled at the present day a match between Heiser and Jlasgioli might be made to assume all the dignity and importance of a contest between really first-class masters of the game.

During the past few years there seems to have been a latent power in the calling which has made it a studied effort to keep these match games a sort of secret as much as possi­ ble. There was not, it is trne, any attempt at secrecy from the newspapers or journals which make billiards a special feature. At the same time there has been a reign of finan­ cial economy resorted to in the handling and management of these contests and match games during the past five years, which, ten, fifteen or twenty years ago, was not only un­ known, but which would simply not have been tolerated in the billiard world of that period.

Let us come to the point at once by citing in example. Twenty years ago, for instance, when Nelrus, Plunkett and Kstephe were in the heyday of their professional prosperity, a contest between any two of these men was heralded from one part of the country to the ther. Three-sheet posters were not only gotten out then, but hundreds of these posters were printed and mailed to all the leading billiard rooms throughout the length and breadth of the land. All this was done at the expense of the match in question. What was the result? It not only extensively ad­ vertised the plnyers all over the United States, but in every room where a poster was hung up it set the amateur players to talking billiards first and subsequently to playing the game. And yet these very players, that Is, Nelms, Plunkett laud Kstephe, great as Ihey were in their day, were not to be com­ pared with such men as Heiser, Maggioli, McLaughlin or Spinksof to-day.

Nor is that all. When match games were made fifteen or twenty years ago, the posters were printed from thirty to sixty days before the games took place. This not only gave the publican opportunity to learn that the games were an actual fact, butduring all this time rooin-keopers renpod tbe benefit of such contests through or from this very publicity. There seems to be an impression at the present d;ty that secrecy and not publicity is what Bbould govern these contests. This is not what is desired, but it is practically the result. Pub­ licity is the one end in view, but it must be attained on condition that there shall be no expen'o involved. Tho fact is entirely for­ gotten, overlooked or neglected tbat the aport- in<j press of this country has practically dropped billiards during the past ten or fifteen years with, perhnp*, tho single exception of TUB BJMRTING LIFB.

It may seem like vanity on our part, but let us ask professional billiard men everywhere what wcuid bavo become cf the literature or the general interest of billiards during the patt ten or fifteen years or since tbe death ot Frank Queen, of the Clipper—had not the writer con­ stantly and persistently kept this literature alive? It may be argued that the daily press has to a great extent taken the place of the iportinp papers of ten or fifteen years »»o. The fact is that the billiard literature in the daily or Sunday papers is Kept alive in consequence of the calling having an acknowledged writer. It was so during Jlr. Queen's life, when Garno was his billiard editor. LetTmi Sponrma LIFE drop billarda, and the sporting journals in general, and let the game hive no regular writer to look after its interest week after week, month after month, year after year, and in a very brief period of time even tbe names of the greatest masters of the calling would sink into oblivion.

But what of tho trado joirnils? How many of them are published to-day? Fifteen years ago there were not less than four published in this country. The Cullender Company pub­ lished the Billiard Cue. the Brunswick <fc Bnlke Co. published the Mirror, Griffith & Co. published a trade journal, and so did that hon­ ored veteran of tbe calling, Mr. L. Decker. We have forgotten tho naino of the latter publica­ tions, and ae we desire to be accurate we do not care to get the mimes mixed by trusting to our memory. All four publications, however, were of vast benefit to the calling in the matter of advertising not only professionals but tbe business in general. At the present day the brunt little Mir'or is the only trade journal left to remind the billiard world of its present insignificance, comnared with its former great­ ness or glory in this respect.

Fortunately, however, the billiard world has THF. SPORTING LIFR with its regular weekly cir­ culation of nearly 00,000 copies. This circulation will rea-b on an average nearly four readers to the pcper, or not much less thaa 250.000 readers eaoh week. At tbe Fame time the matter or importance of advertising professional contests should not be overlooked, and tbe fact that it is, is demonstrated in the case of the recent matches between Slosson and Schaefer, when a single poster was not on the market, so far as we ar» aware of, when Afr. Sobaefer met with his soci- dent, or only a few weeks before tho time for the first of these games to take place.

To return, however, to tbe proposed match between Heiser and Mnggioli such B contest at the present day would in many respects create almost as vreat an interest in the calling as one between Ivc» and Slo.'son. There are many rea-oas why such should be the ease. Mr. Heiser, in the first place, is by common consent generally rejarded or conceded as being an Eastern export. It is true that he has threat­ ened to deprive the East of tbe pleasure of his presence by locating in Chicago. This threat, however, is quite pardonable at present in view of the World's Fair. After that event shall be over, it will be time enough for tbe East to sigh over tbe loss of Mr. Heiser should he determine to remain peruianeutlv in the Welt.

One thing can be said of Mr. Heiser now, and it is greatly to his credit; that the East or the West has never had a cleaner or more honor­ able expert, and, no matter where he may lo­ cate, it is certain that the game will not only be the gainer, but that tbe Eastern billiard world, which knows him best, will ever watoh his record with jealous and friendly interest. As an expert Mr. Heiser deserves to rank very much higher than is actually the case. It is unfortunate for this man that be is so physi­ cally constituted that it is probably impossible for him to ever become a really great nerve player. As an all-round player, however, pure and simple, ho deserves to rank but little below 81 isson, Kehacfcr or lit).

That Mr. Heiser is a very much stronger player than Mr. Maggioli is something which we are not prepared to state. That he is the better player of the two we have no right to as- ert until they shall decide that issue in what tbe only liudolpho would call "for blood." That Maggioli is by nature' or temperament calcu­ lated to hive any very great advantage, if in­ deed any, over Mr. Heiier, is something which we decline to believe. We have never had the pleasure of either meeting or peeing Mr. Mag­ gioli play either to us should be esteemed as a high professional gratification, as we have every reason to regard Mr. M-ig^ioIi as being a gen­ tleman. On one or two occasions we have been called on lo criticize bis professional hobbies, which criticisms were very naturally not re­ ceived in the kindest spirit by that gen­ tleman. Like most professionals, Mazgi- oli only remembers the harsh things which are said of him, but forgeU or does not refer to the many kindly considerations which mav be possible before or after.

Tbo difference between Maggoili and other experts in this respect is that while others may think and do not reply, Maggoili replies with­ out thinking. If this is Maggoili's general dis­ position, and we have every reason to believe that each is the case, it would probably be the

toss of a cent between Heiier and Maggoili in a professional contett,inosmueb as tbat Heiser is as likely to forget himself and lose his temper while playing a match game, as Maggioli is while not playing. Either weakness ia a great detriment to the ntudent of the game.

DALY AND SPINKS.

Fine Exhibition Playing T>y These Two Celebrated Experts.

The recent exhibition at the 14-inch balk- line in New York between Daly and Spinks is purely of interest as to showing what these men are capable of doing, or at least Daly, whose past record is known, and now that he lias done so well m a series of exhibitions of a week's duration, it is to be hoped that he may pluck np a little courage and play a match game, which he has not done during the past ten years, or since Jan. 8, 1883,when lie defeated Sexton in New York. Mr. Spink's record in these exhibitions is such as to warrant the hope that there is a bright future in store for him in the billiard world, When a man can make a grand average of nearly ten at 14-inch balk-line game in nearly 2000 points he should be encouraged everywhere by the Iriends of billiards, es­ pecially a youngster of Spinks' age. Mr. Italy's grand average in 2500 points was nearly 14, and his best run 121, while Spinks' largest run was 115. Runs of from 50 to 121 is certainly remarkable billiards at this style of game, even at exhibition plaj'ing. Mr. Daly had, of course, the advantage from the outset, inasmuch as that he not only played in liii own room but on his own table. It is doubtful if he would have defeated Mr. Spinks in a public hall under the same conditions.

Mr. Daly is of the opinion tbat McLaughlin ill be afraid to play Spinks after reading of the

average which Spinks made in this exhibition. McLaughlin's record as an exhibition player is not among the literature of the calling. Few men who are really match players care for any such notoriety, for the simple reason that it counts for nothing. McLaughlin, however, in the last game which ho played with Heiser in this city for $250 a side, made an average of 10 in 500 points at the same style of game. While playing Capron he made an average of 14, and an average of 11 while his opponent was Ives. All of this record was while playing in tourna­ ments and for money. If Mr. Daly cannot ar­ range a match between Spinks and "the cham­ pion of Pennsylvania," it will be simply owing to the fact that Mr. Spinks does not care to re­ main in the East long enough, and as McLaugh­ lin has "other fish to fry," it should not bo ex­ pected that he should run after Mr. Spinks. In tbe meantime it might not beabad idea for Daly to challenge McLaughlin, and Mr. Daly might then learn whether McLaughlin is really afraid to play Mr, Daly.

Atlantic City.Edward McLaughlin is doing more business

now than at any time during tho past ye&r.Imagine a dude asking a man who drinks

buttermilk, if he would ''smoke a cigarette!"Maurice Daly is of the opinion that the Eng­

lish ryftem of handicapping will have to be adopted in this country. Why not?

Jacob Schaefer has so far recovered the use of his arm tbat he has issue.l a challenge to the billiardists of tbe world. Ivcs says he can't play Schaefer now as lie is going to England.

James 11. Byrncs, of the Brunswick-B.-Col- lender Co., has just recovered from a severe attack of the grip. Mr. Byrnes has been par­ ticularly unfortunate in the matter of sickness in his household during the past three or four years.

Jacob Schaefer is already talking of playing a match with Frank Ives. The latter states that he does not care to make a match "nith a lame man." Later on Schanfer may not be "lame," but Ives may find himself laid up for professional repairs.

William Sexton, who has been on tho sick list for several months past, gives another illu;- tretion of tho folly of professionals in not be­ coming members of the American and National billiard associations. Had Mr. Sexton joined the organizations in question several years ago he would now he entitled to an iucome of about $50 per month.

The great billiard match in London between John Roberts, Jr., champion of England, and Charles Dawson, of Yorkshire, 24,000 points up, Dawson to receive 9004 start, for £2000, was won by Dawson by 7004 points. He tnnde 22,204 points to Roberts' 24,000. Roberts' defeat cre­ ated considerable excitement as he had been backed heavily.

There is no reason why Jacob Schaefer and James K. Byrnes should not have received nearly $50 eich each month during their sick­ ness from the American and National Billiard Association) were the'e men true to themselves. Fortunately the day is near when all sensible men connected with the calling will be glad to avail themselves of the advantages of self pro­ tection which these associations offer.

BASE BALL.OLD TIMES RECALLED.

Twenty-Two Years of Professional Base Ball Summarized.

The following will tell at a glance the cham­ pion team, manager, captain and leading bats­ man ever since professional base ball was organ­ ized in this country:

Ia 1809 and 1870 tbe Cincinnati Rod Stockings were the recognized champions, with Harry aud George Wright In command.

ClillJi.

Looking back over twenty-two years of pro­ fessional base ball, President Nick Young can find but one club that has an unbroken record, and that is Boston. Chicago missed 1872 owing to the disastrous fire in that city in the fall of 71.

Harry Wright and Captain Anson are the only players still in the business who started out in '71, and the former has deroted his time to management during tho last eighteen years.

Anson and O'Rourke, who will captain the Chicago and Washington teams this season, are the only men who have played ball without a break since the League was organized in 1876. Anson started in 1871 and O'Rourk^ in 1873. Boston has the honor of winning tho champion­ ship nine out of 22 times, Chicago coming next with six pennants.

George Wright has captained the greatest number of champion teams, in fact, his 12 years of professional playing found him with winners all but twice.

Twenty-four cities have been represented in the League since 187(5. -Of this number but seven have managed to win a pennant, viz., Boston, Chicago, New York, Providence, De­ troit, Brooklyn and Philadelphia.

Not the Best Prophet, Judging by History.

From the New York World.John B. Day thinks the prospects for snccess-

ful base ball are good. "I see no reason," eaid he yesterday, "why the coming season should not be a good one. I do not suppose that it will be as suce«frsful as some of tbe years just pre­ vious to the split, but it should not entail further luss."

The subscriptions towards building a base ball cage for Iho Univerity of Pennsylvania, now amjuut to $3000, most of which comes from aiumul.

Base ball matters at the Maine Sute College at Orono are progressing well and favorably, and ttie outlook is good, for some fine work by the representa­ tive.* of the college. There is good material to cboogo from. Priest, now of Portsui'-uih, N. II., formerly of tbe battery of the M. C. 1. team, has been secured aa coacner.

On April 22 Dicklnnon bent Swarthmore 8 to 5, Y-ile Law team boat Fordlmin ^ to 1. Willlims beat Oolgute 6 t» 1, Aniherst beat Holyoko 7 to 4 and Harvard freshmen beat Brown freshmen 8 to 5.

Big Jack Highlands is not pitching the clever ball for Haivitrd this year that be d d lafrt.

Lon^ before tbe boat races take {dace the college base ball championship will have been settled. All the teams are in hne fettle, and the practice games against the big Learners have shown them to be. of very nearly equal strength.

Mavkey 'is uot ytt playing In hia old-time form for Pennsylvania, lie fields fairly well, but is very weak at thu bat.

On tbe 21st inst. Amberst suffered defeat at the bauds of Holyoke by 8 lo 4.

So far Yale bus not nhowu her last year's ability In the field. This is a que^r thing ab.Mit Yale, and tbo peculiarity ruus through her en'ire category of ath­ letics. The buys are very backwaid in the beginning of the season, yet when the time comes they are m at tbe fluiah.

Lafayette's nine Is weak In the box and in bitting, though pitcher Angle did better than be bad given promise of doing.

It is bard to find tbe weak end of the Harvard bat­ ting list. As f.irdown as Frotblnpham every man can be counti-d upon to do bis share of tho work; and when J. Highlands and Corhott ara tlie lattery the tail-end o r thu list often teats tho other end.

In a recent Harvard gamo a hl^h fly wai hit straight up I'riuu tbe plate. Highlands and Corbeit started for U. Capt. Frothiughum yelled "Ja*:kl Jack!" and they let it drop between them. Then Frothinftliniu realized tbat there were two Jacks in his battery.

The Maine College got to work on the 20th. On tbat date bates beat the Portsmi.u hs in tiie morning by 16 to 8, aud iu tlie afternoon beat a scrub team 12 to 9. Saim day Colby beat tuo Twitchi lls, of Pore- land, 30 ti> 6. Same data Bowdolu was beaten by the Portland New Eng.aud League team 3 to 2.

Tho University of Pennsylvania Fredhmon bain ball team baa arranged lor a game w.th tlie Prmcot-m Freshmen for May 15. at Priuceton. Tbe Freshmen play the regular University nine Dext Thursday ou the University ground.

At Williauistowu April 24 Williams beat Union 6 to 2.

Beloit College men are In fine spirits over the an­ nouncement made by President Eaton at recitals th s week that the rcholarBiiip rule, which has HO long prevailed in relation to members of the ball had beeu su pe^cied. The faculty has demanded that members of the league team maintain an average cf 75 per cent, iu their studies and this kept many first- class men out of the teim, and the athletic a-soclatioQ has long been praying for the repeal i.f the rule.

History is likely ID repeat Itself. Yale adopted th. undergraduate rule in 1868, and changed back to tbb university rule in 1S71.

ING LIFE: Well, the second week of the chain* pionanip season has been concluded an 1 all Charleston is Uappy over tbe line showing which our team has made, having won eight games out of eleven, and thereby being in third place.

THE SAVANNAH SERIES. Our team journeyed to Savannah last Monday

for three guinea with the ''Dead Rabbits," aa that team is novr called, and succeeded in ad­ ministering the worst drubbing of tbe season to that now well-kno*n team, the score terminat­ ing 21 to 1 in our favor. Coicolouffh, our "local phenuin," of whom Manager Buckenberger speaks so well, officiated in the box and allowed them three single hits.

The second jcaiue Savannah secured, not by ba I playing, but by substituting Petty as the umpire, in tbe place of Ilarrinzton (mobbed tha night previous), who, beinjrsore at the pound­ ing he had received the day previous, delib­ erately gave the game to his own men. It is true we also were allowed nn umpire (Killecn), hut at the beginning of tha game Alanager Carney, realizing the former day's proceedings ond to avoid trouble, toi>k him off the field. Tho third game wo then won by a pcoro of 5 to 3, llarrington having recovered sufficiently to ba present and officiate, after which the Sea Quill were too ulad to make their way Lome, accom­ panied by the jeers of a mob who threw "coal c!inkers" 1 at ihem in their 'bus, an-i mttny of \vhicU tha members of utir team now rctiia aa "rneiuua- toes" of tha bo 1 lira of "Y.mmera'.v."

Uora it is:

Tbayer Torreyson, manager and first base; Henry Gate, catcher; William Leaman, pitcher; Frederick Miller, short stop; Frederick Uartuiun, third base; William Smink. centre field; P.
