STILL FELT IN BASE BALL ALTHOUGH HE IS "RETIRED."

The Ex-Chief of the New York Club Believed to be the Secret Influence Which Has Operated Malignantly on the Fortunes of Griffith's Club.

By Charles Zuber.Cincinnati, O., Sept. 30. Two years ago j

there was no name mentioned uioiv often in connection with base ball than that of

Andrew Freedman. To-day one seldom hears any ref­ erence to the once great chief of the Giants, and then it usually 5s with some reference to the black days in base ball in Gotham, for which Mr. Freedman was blamed. However, he has not lost his interest in base ball politics and his fine political hand is seen in many of the base ball oc­ currences of the times. There is no doubt that Mr. Freedman figured in the

A. FreedmanDavis affair, although Mr. Brush received all the credit for that ill-advised affair. It was Mr. Freedmaii and political influence that prevented the American League from securing grounds in New York that were of easy access and forced the club to move up to the bluffs, where people refuse to go this year, even though the attraction is the highest salaried team that ever was gathered together. His latest coup since he is "out of base ball" is to influence the management of the new underground rail­ way in New York, on whose service the American League depends entirely for haul­ ing its patronage for next season, to build their ball park station so far from the grand stand that it will be almost as much of a hardship to reach games when the line is completed as there is at present. Verily, Mr. Freedman ''out of base ball" still is very much "in" base ball, if all re­ ports concerning him are true.

M'QRAW'S COMPLAINT.

About the Scarcity of Players Fast Enough For the Big Leagues.

Manager McGraw, of the New Yorks, in speaking the other day of his efforts to strengthen, said: "The general public does not nor can it appreciate the difficulties I labor under to get the players that I want. No club in the big leagues or the minor leagues can afford to let their best players go. If they would do so it would antagonize' their clientage and put their own city 'on the bum.' As I cannot by the peace pact get National League stars, I have been obliged to look to the minor leagues for my players. This I have done, and I can say now that I have the signed contracts of four or five players that are the very pick of minor league talent. I cannot mention their names for various reasons, but from what I can learn I know that they are all capable of holding their own in fast comprny."

How Kling Surprised Selee.An incident at Chicago Tuesday was the

retirement of Kling with an injured finger, a foul tip loosening the nail of the fore­ finger of his throwing hand in the ninth inning. He retired in favor of Raub, who made the final putout of the game. The injury is not serious, and is only notable because Manager Selee says it is the first time he has ever seen any blood on Kling's hands. Chicago "Tribune."

ROBISON'S REASONSFor Not Drafting a Bigger Bunch of Minor

Leaguers How He Will Strengthen His St. Louis League Team.Cleveland, O., Sept. 30. Editor "Sporting

Life:" Frank De Hass Itobison. president of the St. Louis National League Club,

does not believe in drafting players from the minor leagues, and then taking long chances on the devel­ opment of these men. Re­ garding his- ideas and plans he said: "It may appear strange to some people that I drafted no more players, but I will explain my posi­ tion on th;it matter. Last season I took on twenty young men and gave them a thorough trying out. Only two of these remain, one of whom is McFarland. On

the training trip through the South I had 33 men. You can imagine that there was considerable expense. There is nothing gained in drafting players. If I want a star player in the minor league I am going after him and pay the price asked. I would

RATHER PAY $10,000for a player that I am sure will make good than to pay the drafting price for a lot of youngsters and pay several thousand dol-

f. Deft. Rob/son

lars for their development, for nine times out of ten, the drafted players fail to make good. Under the new rule only two men can be drafted from any one minor league club. This leaves from 12 to 14 players in every minor league club under the National and the American leagues. It is a chance as to whether the men who are drafted are the best players. I prefer to pay big salaries and to deal with the owners of the minor league clubs, and if they have the players that will fill the posi­ tion that we want to fill I would i much rather pay them two or three times the drafting price."

ALL RIGHT NEXT YEAR. Mr. Robisou concluded: "I am going to

have the strongest team that St. Louis ever had next year. Before we start to play again I will have the best team that can be gotten together. Through the win­ ter months I will make the selections, and nothing will stand in the way of giving St. Louis the cream of the land. It will be to our advantage, of course, to do so, for the Exposition visitors will desire to see a good game of ball. We need just four more men, one of which should be a star pitcher, and then we will be able to fnish in the one-two-three list. I figure that we will be at the top of the percent­ age column early in the season and wil' retain it until the close of the base ball year. I believe that it will be better foi my players to train in St. Louis, and for that reason I shall instruct Manager Dono- van to have all of the men report there for duty. The climate is ideal for base ball work."

THE MILTON ROD AND GUN CLUB'S SUCCESSFUL MEET.

Many Noted Experts Present J. A. R. Elliott Made Best General Average J. Hawkins in Second Place Coleman Led the Amateurs.

/. A. K. Elliott

Milton, Pa., Sept. 26. Editor "Sporting Life:" The fail tournament of the Milton Rod and Gun Club closed with the live- bird events Tuesday after­ noon. The weather was perfect and' a large crowd attended the second day's events. Saturday afternoon the club entertained the visiting experts, who came to Milton from Williams- port, lu a practice shoot, Where J. M. Hawkins was high gun, with 74 out of 75 targets, and Neaf Apgar, Luther Squier and H. H. Stevens each missed but two targets. Captain F. A. Godcharles was high for amateurs, with 68. In the 25-target event, with these five men shooting, they broke 124 out of 125. One hundred and three were broken before Squier missed a diffi­ cult one.

The trade was represented by seven as fine gentlemen as we have ever met, and they did much missionary work for their firms among the spectators, as well as marksmen. Frank Lawrence was present for the fifth time at a Milton meet, and his popularity has made him many friends.

The first day, Monday, HaVkins and Stevens were high guns, with 104 out of 170 targets. Tuesday Elliott won out. with 99 out of 100; Fulford second, with 97. For the two days Elliott leads with 2fi2 Hawkins, 200; Apgar and Fulford, 257. out of 270. Coleman led the amateurs, with 244. For the three days, including Satur­ day's practice, Hawkins broke 334, Apgar, 330; Squier and Stevens, 328, and Good- charles 203, out of 345 targets. The scores follow:

THE GREAT PEACE COMMISSIONER IS BECOMING SUSPICIOUS

Hon. A- Herrmann

That Certain Magnates Regard Him as an Easy Mark Owing to His Pacific Disposition and Generous Character The Kleinow Case an Eye-Opener.

By Charles Zuber. Cincinnati, O., Sept. 27. Editor "Sporting

Life:" The Cincinnati Club docs not pro­ pose to waive its claim on catcher Klei­

now, who was drafted by President Horriuann, and after several hours hac passed, was announced to have been sold some weeks ago to the New York American League Club. 11 seems very peculiar thai the Cincinnati Club is get ting tangled up with Amer loan League clubs over players. The case of pitch er Walker is another in stance. But Herrmann'f ire is rising, and if there is any one who proposes

to take him for a base ball door mat he may find him a porcupine ere long. The feeling is beginning to crop out in this neck of the woods that there is a desire among the American League gentlemen to throw the harpoon into Cincinnati when ever the opportunity offers. Because the local management has seen fit to act hon­ orably and above board on occasions when subterfuge and underhand dealing might have been of some benefit to it in gaining a point, some of the American League peo­ ple appear to have formed the opinion that President Herrmann and his asso­ ciates are easy marks, and that they will yield to anything. Never was a greatoi mistake made, and it will be found that in matters in which the Cincinnati Club knows it is right it will make as strong a fight as can possibly be arranged. The Kleinow case looks like a job, and the Cin­ cinnati Club will not rest until it has es­ tablished its claim to Kleinow, or until its claim has been disproved. Kleinow's name did not appear on the list of players pur chased by the New York Americans that was ratified by the National Commission on Monday, and there will have to be much explaining and much evidence be­ fore Cincinnati will acknowledge that the New York Club's claim on the man is legitimate.

Herrmann Gives up Kleinow.Cincinnati, O., Sept. 30. President Herr­

mann, chairman of the National Commis­ sion, yesterday decided against himself and awarded Catcher Kleinow to the New York Americans. The Commission was not noti­ fied of the sale of that player by Toledo to New York before Cincinnati drafted him. but Mr. Herrmann is convinced that this was a mere oversight; that the sale was a bona fide affair made at the time claimed, and that, therefore, New York is entitled to the player.

/?»/ Wm. F. If. Kndxch. New York, Sept. 28. Editor "Sporting

Life:" Great was the delight of the local followers of base ball when'the final vic­

tory in Pittsburg made sec­ ond place secure for John McGraw's men. Had the pennant hung in the bal­ ance but little more interest could have been aroused in the big city. Up to the very last game McGraw's men played did Selee's Cubs have an opportunity to wrest second place from the Gothamites, but they were not strong enough to ( lose the gap, despite uum-

W. F- II. Koelsch orous opportunities. Of course the Windy City folks

would have railed at Barney Dreyfuss for putting in Kennedy and a trio o'f experi­ ments in the final game had the Cubs been able to defeat Boston in the two games which

dy instead of Leever or Philllppi, and by trying out new men in the places of Wag­ ner and Ritchey, with a new man in Clarke's place in left, plainly demonstrated that/ with the pennant won they saw no reason for straining every nerve for the sole benefit of Chicago. Nor did the Pirates In any way belittle the work of Mc­ Graw's men, by whom they have been bad­ ly beaten on a number of occasions. In fact, in the final series the Pirates, after

Scan- Ion was used by the 1'irates in that game and McGraw took a chance with his own young blood twirler, and while both were wild, Ames came out victorious, much to the disgust of Wagner ct al.

APPERTAINING TO PITTSBURG. Now that the Pirates have won the flag

for the third time it is in order to congrat­ ulate Barney Dreyfuss, and at the same time remind the Smoky City scribes of a few facts revealed during the race just ended. To be sure, the Pirates have had more than the average amount cu ill luck in the matter of accidents to players, and that to a certain extent accounts for the narrow margin by which they again won the pennant. Considering, however, that at least three teams in the National League this year were about the poorest ever seen in a major league the victory of the Pirates was by no means an impressive one. The loss of Chesbro and Tannehill, who last year fairly mowed down their opponents, was a big factor in

THE PIRATES' HARD FIGHT, although Pittsburg scribes took special de­ light every time these two pitchers lost in tho American League. The Pittsburg cham­ pions, had they been in the American League race this year, constituted as they were, would have done well to finish in the first division. Another sore spot with the ''Smoky Scribes" was the accomplishment of Christy Mathewson in winning every game ho twirled against the champions- eight in number. Those gentle critics had a rod in pickle for Matty all the time, and had there been a few more Mathewsous in the League there would have been no pen­ nant for Pittsburg this year. In the Amer­ ican League race the Pirates would have found more pitching of that class than they did in their race this year. As it was tho Pirates did well to win from McGraw'a men, who in turn

OUTPOINTED CHICAGO. On the road McGraw's nif-n showed good

form, and the inability of Selrc's Cubs to take second place from the Polo ground aggregation while tho latter finished in the Wost with the Cuba at home makes the second honors appear justly earned by Mc­ Graw's men. Kven after the lleds took two out of three from McGraw's men, the best Solce's men could do was to break even in four games with New York in the Windy City. Selee's men, despite all their speed, were no match for McGraw's men and should have uo hard-luck yarns to spin.

AN INCIDENT.During the last game of the double-

header with Detroit at American League Park on Saturday, Manager Griffith caused the score of the Pittsburg game, showing the victory of McGraw's men. which clinched second place, to be posted on the bulletin board. With the scores were the names of the pitchers, McGinnity and Kennedy. Hearty applause greeted the bulletin, and then three rousing cheers were given for McGraw by the large crowd. This little act of courtesy to Man­ ager McGraw won a generous round of applause for Griffith, and many compli­ mented Grif. for this sportsmanlike atti­ tude, and not a few expressed regret that such a feeling was not mutual here, so that an interesting post-season series might have resulted between the teams headed by McGraw and Griffith. The work of

MANAGER MCGRAWwill got more space in this column at a later dafe. and full praise will bo meted out to him for what he has accomplished in a very short space of time. That the magnificent work of Mathewson and Mc­ Ginnity will always be regarded as the most potent factor in the success of the club is but natural, but the part that Mc­ Graw played entitles him to a high place among the successful managers of the Na­ tional League. His ability to maintain harmony, and the magnetism of his pres­ ence, oven on the bench, together with his unassuming manner, has won friends for his team and the respect and co-operatiou of all his players.

HIGHLANDERS STAND PAT. Griffith's men made strenuous efforts to

mprovo their position, but fourth place is the best that they can got this vear. Lajoie's heavy hitters took two out of three, and while the St. Louis Browns were beaten three out of four, the Ath­ letics refused to lose, and Griffith's men must be content with fourth place. The troublesome Detroit Tigers arc finishing up :he season here, and it is believed by many :hat had Detroit not been handicapped by <o much infield shifting they would have :nade it very troublesome for the clubs :iow in front of them.

GRIFFITH NOT SLEEPING. All things considered', tho Highlanders

lid well to finish in fourth place in such a hard and fast campaign as was the Ainor- can League race. That tho team on the

hill needs a hard-hitting outfielder, au- >ther good catcher and a capable substitute ufielder is as apparent to the management is to anyone else. It is said on pretty ?ood authority that a hard-hitting outfield- r has been bagged, but his name has not >oon revealed. Griffith had a; long talk n-er the long-distance to Cleveland, but it s hard to figure out how he can get the lesired outfielder from that point. Sam

r'rawford would fit in nicely here, and as Detroit has hooked on to. Mclntyre and

Gettman, of Buffalo, there may be some, hing doing along that line before next pring. Griffith's team is likely to cut a tig figure in the race next year, and no ffort will be spared to land such men s can be secured and are needed.

A GIANTS'BATTLEIS THE WORLD'S SERIES BETWEEN

PITTSBURG AND BOSTON.

The Financial Consideration Made Satis­ factory to the Players After the Boston Men Had, by Their Objections, Almost Knocked the Series Out.

Tly Francis C. Richter. For a time last week it aj peared doubt*

Ii.l whether the world's championship serins between the National League and

American League champion teams would be played. After all :.irangements had been completed between Messrs. Dreyfuss and Killi­ lea for a nine-game series beginning October 1 both magnates started to make arrangements with their piaye.-.-s. With the Pilts- buig men. whose contracts run to October 15. there was no trouble, a promise of 50 per cent, of their

Barney Dreyfuss club's share of the receipts holding them. The Boston

players, whose contracts expired September 30.'refused to accept either of Mr. Killi- lea's two propositions, which, we are told, were an extension of their salaries to Oc­ tober 15, or a division of the receipts and exemption from the expenses. The Boston players, it was stated, wanted the salary extension same as the Pittsburg players

and the same division of the receipts as Mr. Drey­ fuss had promised his play­ ers. Mr. Killilea on Friday last rejected the terms of his players and declared the series off. Subsequently, however, negotiations be­ tween owner and players were resumed and a basis of settlement was re-ached. Mr. Killilea did not give out the terms, but they are said to be 75 per cent, to his men, who, apart from the financial question, are

eager to play the Pittsburg team. While the controversy was pending Manager Mc- Graw, of New Y(,rk. challenged the 1'itts- burgs to a post-season series. Mr. Drey- fuss, however, refused to consider this challenge at all until the matter of a series with Boston was settled. All ar­ rangements for the world's series have been completed as we go to press, and ere this greets the reader, weather permit­ ting, the first game will have been played of a series of country-wide interest on which a vast amount of money has been wagered. O'Day. of the National League, «*uul Connolly, of the American League, have been selected as the umpires for the series. Following is the. full text of the agreement for the series, as signed by Messrs. Dreyfuss and Killilea:

"It is hereby agreed by and between the Pitts­ burg Club of the National League and the Bos­ ton Club of the American League as follows:

"1. That the said clubs shall play a post- season series consisting of nine games, if it should be necessary to play that number before either club should win five games.

"2. Said games are to be played as follows: "At Boston, October 1, 2. :!. "At Pittsbnrg, Pa., October 5, 6. 7, 8. "At Boston. Mass., October 10 and 12. "In the event of one postponement or more on

account of bad weather, the clubs must remain In the city in which the games were scheduled until it shall be possible for them to complete the series. In other words, if one game of the first series be postponed, the clubs will not ap­ pear in Pittsburg until Oct. (i. If two games be prevented, the Pittsburg series will not begin until Oct. 7, and if three games be postponed. Ihe opening in Pittsburg will be -delayed until Thursday. Oct. 8. When the said clubs do begin the Pittsburg series they must remain in said city until the completion of the .series of four games, or the number required to decide the championship. Should the entire series of nine games be necessary, the said club^s shall play the remaining two games in Boston.

"3. It is agreed that the umpires shall be Henry O'Day and Thomas Connolly.

"4. No player shall participate who was not a regular member of either team on Sept. 1, 190:5.

"5. The respective captains shall confer with Ihe umpires before the series begins and agree upon a uniform interpretation of the rules."

BOSYoY'BRIEFS.The Great Work of the New American

League Champions at Home and Abroad —Some Remarkable Batting and Pitch­ ing—New Men For the Boston League Team. ___

/?// Jacob C. Mort».Boston. Sept. 29. Editor "Sporting Life:"

With to-dav'f game ends the major It-ague campaign of 1003. Manager Collins has

been out of the gr.mc most of the time in -the last games and allowed his un­ derstudy. Jack p'Brien. a chance to show his speed at third and fatten up his per­ centage. The club con­ tinued to play a fast game of ball despite the big gap occasioned by the -with­ drawal of Collins. Detroit has one thing to plume it- se'f about if it has nothing else this year. It is the only club that has landed a majority of the games of a. C. Morse

series in this city this year. Boston won every series on the re.id, except one, this season, landing six out of ten in every Western city, six out of nine in Philadel­ phia and seven out of ten in New York and making a tie in Washington at live games. In Boston the locals landed seven out of ten games from the Athletics, 10 straight from Washington, seven out of ten from New York, six out of ten from Cleveland and has the series won from St. Louis, but dropped five out of nine to De­ troit, the last game being a tie 0 to 6 in 11 innings. Then Detroit won the dis­ tinction of being the only club to take both games of a double header In this city this season. Boston lost a double-header in Chicago July 18, 3 to 2 in 12 innings and 3 to 1. which makes two double-head­ ers the champions lost during the. cam­ paign.

THE DETROIT FINALE.Detroit pitched Donovan in two of the

games here and he took fine and tied the other, Mullin pitched very effectively and won his game and Kissinger lost to Gib- son. In the gam,es here Detroit tried at short Murphy, who has played with the Haverhill and Lawrence Clubs of the New England League, and he made a very good showing in the field and not showing up at all badly with the stick. Murphy is an energetic and ambitious ball tosser and has done some very fine work in the New Eng­ land League field. He feels confident that he will be able-to hold his end up, which is a great deal at the start of a youngster into fast company. We would not have seen Herman Long at all in the scries were it not for the fact that Burns got hurt by a thrown ball just before the sec­ ond day the Detroits were here and was badly cut above the eye. He had to give way to Long, who played splendid ball during the remainder of the scries and did some tall hitting, making four safeties in his last game. He is not in by a long chalk.

GREAT BATTING.I noticed the other dav a writer alluded

to the fact that the Phillies made 100 hits in eight games in Cincinnati. AVell, the local Americans made 115 hits in eight con­ secutive games in the recent home series. In the Philadelphia games Barry made 15 safe hits, but in the Boston games Collins made 17 hits and Parent and Stahl 16 hits each. This is hitting with a vengeance. Charley Fan-ell remained long enough in the game to send his batting percentage to .388, and then got hurt in the knee and had to yield to young Stahl. who handled himself very well. On Friday last Lou Criger packed his belongings and made for his home, in Elkhart, Ind. He has certain­ ly played the game of his life in Boston this season, and the fans hope to see him in the spring feeling better than ever. He will be back for the games with Pittsburg.

DOUGHERTY .has been hitting the ball in excellent style and promises to give the great Lajoie a good rub for the batting honors. He went ahead of that great slugger in the games here. Dougherty has certainly done phe­ nomenal stick work. Just pause and con­ sider. He led the Connecticut League in 1001, and then went to California and led that league. Last season he led the Bos­ ton Nationals in his first season in major league company, and this year he again leads the Boston team. If that is not a great showing what is? I cannot now recollect an instance where a youngster has- come into the game and made such a showing. Dougherty has improved wonder­ fully in his fielding. He covers a deal of ground, can throw splendidly and makes many fine captures. He will do better than ever uext season.

FREEMAN AND STAHLLast, season "Buck" Freeman led the

American League in doubles, triples and home runs. I do not know if he has re­ peated that performance this s-eason, but he will come very near to it. At any rate, he lias already made more doubles, triples nud home runs than he made last season. He has certainly been thumping the ball for fair, and what is more, lie has been hitting harder than last season, for his batting percentage is not so good as that of last season. "Chick" Stahl has picked up wonderfully in his batting, and his fig­ ures now assume respectable dimensions. In one week he sent his percentage flying upward 30 points, and while he may not at­ tain an average of ;300, he will be pretty near it. Collins has also hit very hard dur­ ing the latter part of the season.

YOUNG'S WORK.It will be a great thing for "Cy" Young

to close the season with a batting average of over .300. It is indeed a great showing for the veteran. Last season he opened in great shape, but fell down toward the end. Like last season, he has landed 30 victories for the season, a showing no pitcher in the country has been able to make. A well-known player made the ob­ servation the other day that "Cy" had to adopt, a slow ball because he was losing his speed. That was all arrant nonsense. Players who have faced "Cy" this season will tell you that he is pitching as fast as he ever did in his career. Jimmy Uyau, of the WT ashiugtons, told me that Young pitched the fastest balls to him that he ever faced, and I guess there are plenty of players who will tell you the very same thing. "Cy" has plenty of speeed. and let no one lose sight of that fact. The expert will tell you to-day that mere speed is nothing. The successful pitcher of to­ day must have change of pace. Young pitched for years without anything but speed, and he has alternated speed with a change in delivery that has but added to his effectiveness.

THE BOSTON QUINTETTE of pitchers are certainly not excelled by any In the business to-day, and behind the bat the club need take no odds from any­ body. With Criger and Farrell as regit- lars and Stahl to fall back upon Ihe club is in a position to show to great advantage. There were many misgivings when it was known in the spring th.it Collins would stick to La'chance at first, but his judgment has been shown to be all right

in that regard, for the big fellow has cer­ tainly done far better than anyone antici­ pated, and it is really true that no player in the position has played better ball in the position this season than he. His stops of badly thrown balls have been marvel- ous. and no one is any better on pick-ups. Parent has kept up his great work at short, and Pittsburg people will be delighted, I am sure, to note the exhibition of the Bos­ ton quartette in the intield.

THE WORLD'S SERIES.The city is all agog over the games that

will be started on Thursday of this week. There was a little disastisfaction at the start on the part of the players, but every­ thing has been arranged to general satis­ faction. Manager Collins is siwe that his boys will give a good account of them­ selves in the series, and so well are the teams mated that I am sure the games will be the best seen for years, provided the weather is favorable. It would not be a bit surprising if the series lasted the entire nine games arranged for. Mr. Killi­ lea deserves the thanks of the base-ball loving community for the way he has dealt with the players in this matter, and they will doubtless show their appreciation by putting forth every effort to land the games for Boston. If they put up the games they have put up when the pennant was at stake there is no reason why they should not land a majority of the series. The players are now in first-class shape and fit to battle for their lives. I hear that a good-sized delegation will accom­ pany the team to IMttsburg when the games are played in that city and root for the American Leaguers for all they are vi orth.

NEW LEAGUERS.We hear that .; im Delahanty, once with

the Worcesters, vill pl.iy with the Boston Nationals next season, and that a pitcher named Adams, Irom New Orleans, has been secured, and that Manager "Buck" has his eyes.open for other material. Van Kant, of the New England League, is being favorably considered and is a fast man, and another player of the American Asso­ ciation, who is fast in both the in and the outfields, may wear a Boston uniform. Di­ rector Billings, who has not been so much partisan that he could not enjoy the American League games, says -that the team will be much stronger than the one at the South End grounds during the pres­ ent campaign, which was as much of a disappointment to him as to anyone. Messrs. Sode.ii, Conant and Billings will take in the post-season series beyond a doubt.

SPOKES FROM THE HUB.Manager Frank Leonard, of the Colum­

bus Club, got back' home last week look­ ing first rate. He speaks highly of his treatment by the Columbus people, and says he considers Columbus one of the best minor league cities in the country. He is considering several propositions for next season.

Manager Jack Carney. of the Concord Club, has returned from a trip to Penn­ sylvania, during which he bagged a couple of pitchers.

Fred Doe intends to go South and take a good rest. The Detroit peorle have been after Pitcher Josslyn. of his team, but will l>ave to raise the, ante to get him. Josslyn is a very promising man.

Fred Tenney has been hitting hard in the Western trip. Evidently he does not intend to lose that .300 class. Cooley has also done some good stick work.

Manager Buckenberger writes that big Ed. Greminger has played great ball on the Western trip. Ed. put up some very fast ball this season and handled fouls in great fashion.

"Silk" O'Loughlin was evidently the man for the place in the last games.

PITTSBURG POINTS.Champs Ready For the Fray With Ameri­

can Banner Bearers—One Star Pitcher Ailing But He May be Brought Around- New Men Have Been Getting an Oppor­ tunity. ___

By A. R. Cratty.Pittsburg, Sept. 28. Editor "Sporting

Life:" To-night the Pittsburgs leave for their next battle ground, which will de­

cide the world's champion­ ship series. After many tangles that series was oinched last Saturday. All through the wrangling be­ tween Killilea and his play­ ers the Pittsburg magnates held out that there would be games played. It de­ velops that the Boston own­ er wired them secretly in­ timating that he was bluf- ling the players and that he would give in at the last moment. The games were sure he said. So it prov­

ed to be. Wonder if that ugly snarl between owner and players helped the interest. Few base, ball men can see any place where benefit crept iu by reason of the argument. But to the games the Premiers go, each con­ fident that they are going to win. All the many assertions of base ball experts that the Boston nine is better than they h<".ve not scared the Pittsburgs. Even the pos­ sibility of Leever being unfit has not tak­ en an'y confidence away from the locals. They know that

COLLINS' TEAM FEARS LEEVER in the bargain. Sammy has a sore arm, but before Thursday Edward Laforce, the club trainer, expects to have the wing in the best of shape. Doheny is home and the club is not banking on him. The club has eligible besides old reliable Phillippe, the following pitchers, Veil, Kennedy, Winham and Pfeister. That crack with the ball given Krueger 'has militated against the Pittsburgs' chances some, for Otto, is good either in the field or inside the diamond. Suppose that a Pittsburg regular should be laid out, tlien Kennedy would have to be drawn on. The team has'four catchers eligible under the agree-

fl. R. Cratty

incut, which bars all players not signed before September 1. Outside of Leever and Krueger just now every man is fit

and ready for the fray. The team goes to Buffalo to-night. They will play there Tuesday, and then hustle to Boston to rest up on Wednesday.

SCANLON LOOKS GOOD.The closing week here was conspicuous

by the club trying out a number of .\oungsters. Two pitchers were given the lest, notable Lew Moren. a local star who made good and will be heard from later, and Billy Scanlon, a purchase from the Illion, N. Y., team. Scanlon was the best in point of experience, and the manage­ ment is loud in its prniso of the stout built college lad. Scanlon. by the way, looks the part of the collegian.' He never wears a hat. going around in street costume with a little cap pulled tight on his head. The young man has lots of assurance. He hunted up the headquarters- without any trouble and then introduced himself with the confidence of an old stager. The writer quizzed the boy on his early career, and he responded like a captain of a football team -when singing out signals in a win­ ning game. "Manhattan College is where I picked up pitching," said the red-haired young man. To all appearances the club made a hit with the purchase of the youngster. He showed cool work in the game against the New Yorks. His pitch­ ing was, made up of speed and curves. He lacked a fine deceptive curve, possessed by Ames, but at that the New Yorks could not get the free swing on the ball, six fanning the breezes.

GENE CURTIS DOING WELL.Curtis, thy big outbidder from the Wheel­

ing team, has made i\ record as a batsman in the games the past week. The big fel­ low hits well, driving over second base and usually hitting the ball right on the trade­ mark. His fielding is not high class, but he shows some form and can be improved. He is a young man, husky as they make them, and for a big fellow runs fast. This man was once picked out by a Philadelphia team stockholder. Shetts delayed going af­ ter him and told a Pittsburg official of the man. The latter lost no time in running over to Wheeling and peeping at the fel­ low. Then he promptly made the purchase. Curtis is a keeper in the State Insane Asy­ lum of West Virginia, but if he keeps up his ball playing he will be something bet­ ter. The fact that the club is keeping him in left field under many conditions shows that the giant is to be given a thorough trying-out. There is some "goods" there and no mistake.

A STAR CATCHER.The third basemen of the League are get­

ting onto Eddie Phelps. For many a day the big catcher shot a bunt down the al­ ley and beat it out, catching the third bag­ gers unawares. Lauder came racing in every pitch delivered to Phelps. The Al­ bany youth is one of the best hunters in the business. He can get away with the ball and loses no time in hustling to the goal. The work of Phelps stands out in bold relief as compared with that of other backstops on the Pittsburg team. This has been an off year for Smith. He has been ragged both in his field play as well as bat­ ting, the latter having fallen almost to nothing. One local scorer is nagging the Massillion lad about his batting for days. Buck Weaver, sorry to say, also lost caste by a recent display behind the bat. He forgot, and on a missed third strike made a useless throw to first base, allowing a Brooklyn runner to come home on the same. The batsman was out without a throw. Weaver is a fine young man and can do much better than he has been in re­ cent games. Carisch needs more play in the fast company to be relied upon, but from the condition of affairs now it's a bet that the club would hold him to in prefer­ ence to Weaver.

CLOSING JOTS.Colonel Barney got hold of one of those

huge postal cards boosting Rube Waddell. "Five hundred .per week?" commented Barney. "I'll bet that he doesn't get $25."

Gus Dundon and his team-mate on the Denver team met here the other night and became comrades eu route to Chicago. Jones was on his way to his home iu Butler, being called there by the death of his mother.

Last spring the writer wanted a South­ ern League team to take catcher LaPorte, of Urichs-ville, O. The club declined. No­ tice that he has been drafted from the Buffalo team.

One of the bright spots in the life of Of­ ficial Scorer Gruber happened last Tuesday night. The employes of the "Post" shut up shop for two hours, inveigled Gruber to the Hotel Lincoln, and after a dinner handed the old man a fine gold watch. 'Twas the fiftieth anniversary of the second time on earth of John H. Gruber, a printer, who from a fan on the game, with a tendency to work up statistics, became one of the best- known base ball writers in the land.

Winham is liked by the club people, not for his pitching ability, but because he gels out there and hustles. The big left-hander is on the lines from the moment the bell rings, and runs here and there. No coach ever worked harder. Winnie is too wild in slab work.

Charley Philhppi hopes to spend most of his time in this city. He will go to South Dakota for a period, however, to see the folks. He has been bothered by a busi­ ness transaction which affects his farm.

Jim Long, the local scorer, vows that Brownie Gessler hits them as hard to right centre as any man he has run across for years. By the bye. Gessler can also run the bags some. He isn't afraid to take chances.

John Moren. one of Pittsburgh coal kings, was in the stand on Thursday. His son Lewis is the youngster given a trial by the Pittsburg management in one Brook­ lyn game.

Doheny was in bad shape when he left for home. Poor Eddie. He wanted to lead an exemplary life after that first lapse in over a year, but he quit too sud­ denly, thereby breaking up his nervous system. It is hoped that a good rest will improve the man's health.

24—PAGES—24THE WESTERN'S CUTOF SEASON AND SALARIES CAUSES

MANY PLAYERS' COMPLAINTS.

Tbe Claim That the Western League's Act Invalidates Its Reserve Rights Com batted by President Sexton, Who Had Secured National Board Consent.

By Francis C. Richter. The sudden suspension of the Western

League's championship season on Septem­ ber 17 ten days ahead of schedule time

has caused a great deal ol friction between the clubs and their players, because most of the clubs disband­ ed their teams at once and cut the ten unplayed days from the salaries of the players. The latter, ol i-ourse, raised a great howl and claimed that such fiction would make the VVestern League's reserva­ tion Invalid. In order to be sure of their ground the club owners appealed to President Sexton for an definition of the Western

M. H. Sexton

authoritativeLeague's rights and position in the mat­ ter. Relative to this question of reserva­ tion President Sexton at once sent the following letter to all of his clubs:

"Rock Island, 111., Sept. 20. Gentlemen: On Aug. 19 I sont out a bulletin containing an ex­ tract from the National Association reservation clause calling attention to Article 4 of players' contracts providing that written notice of res­ ervation shall be served on eacu player prior to Kept. 25.

"If all clubs have complied with those in­ structions it will make no difference whether tbo player lias signed the acceptance of the reservation slip or not. If any club has failed to take this precaution it should be done at oiice.

"Mail a written notice of reservation to last known address of each player (registered mail), preserve copy of same on tile with post office registry receipt, aud there will be no trouble. Yours truly,

"M. H. SEXTON."

As the Western League received the con­ sent of the National Hoard of the National Association to close its season ahead of schedule time the mulcted players will have no recourse within the National Asso­ ciation, as there is no appeal from a Na­ tional Board ruling. We doubt also that the new National Commission can assume any jurisdiction in the matter without a f;orioiis clash with the National Associa­ tion, which claims, and will fight for, the right to regulate its internal affairs as it sees fit. It must lie said, however, that tin- Western League's act was a mistake, both from a business and sentimental stand­ point, and an injustice to tho players; and in all probability its consequences will plague the organization indefinitely.

BROOKLYN BULLETIN.The Disappointment of the 1903 Seison

—Hanlon's Hard Work With ths Most Unpromising Team He Ever Hard ed— The Outlook For th2 Next Campaign.

7?// John B. Foster.Brooklyn, N. Y., Sept. 30. Editor "Sport­

ing Life:" If you can't have a loaf of bread put up with a slice. Better that

than nothing. Brooklyn was unable to get in the first division, but played a strong card as the head of the second division and was not so very far be­ hind Cincinnati at that. Consequently the wise Brooklyn enthusiast crows over what little there is to crow about, and lets it go at that. Next year there will be something bettor in the Brooklyn camp. Ned

John B- Foster Hanlon says so, and Hanlon never fools us. All that

the average Brooklynitc lias to sav about the present team is that it did a great deal better than mos,t expected it to do af- 'cr the National League had solemnly tried :o blacken both its eyes in declaring peace. There will be no peace to be declared next year, unless somebody else gets on the war­ path, consequently there may be bettor ">asc ball in Brooklyn. At least we hope; >o, and there are reasons to believe that the hopes will materialize in line shape.

DID TUK BEST POSSIBLE. Probably the only persons who are actu­

ally sore are those who entertained the dea in their heads that the manager of the Brooklyns could accomplish the impossible. There were some who were of opinion that tne local team would surely be in the race ill the time because Hanlon was the man- ngor. Even so successful and so bright a nan as Ned Hanlon cannot make bricks Tom sponges. He may try his best, bnt he material never will be likely to respond o the effort. While this season, instead of effecting on Hanlon's managerial ability athcr is a boost for it, the fact has been lemonstrntecl that the best manager must lave something for a foundation before he an be expected to put up a sky-scraper.

THE WORST YET.Since Hanlon has been manager of the

irooklyns he has not had a team any year hat was so hopelessly against him as the >rosent. With a fatuous disregard for the acts there were a groat many persons vho pinned their faith to Hanlon, on the round that he could take cigar signs and nako ball players of them. There was nee a similar idea entertained about "Pop" \nsou. They got over it out in Chicago ust as they have arrived at the conclusion n Brooklyn, that any manager must have ncouragemcnt from the players before he

can hope to win a pennant. Two factors hurt the Brooklyns. One was an uncertain pitching staff and- the other the inability of most of the players to do much of any­ thing with the stick. Had the Superbaa hit the ball in the same relative proportion as they were able to field it there would have been a different story to tell about tho race. Then, too, there was

A REVERSAL OF FORM shortly after the spring games that up­ set all calculations. Both McCreedio and Householder fell by the wayside, and fell good and hard. When Householder did hit the ball it generally went a mile: but there were so many times that he failod to hit that it became apparent in tho first throe weeks he would never bo ablo to travel long in fast company. McCreoclio did bet­ ter. He jogged along for about a month before all the weak points in his play began to make themselves manifest. When lie did begin to got bad he made no half-way business of it. Fielding and batting both went by tho board with a rush, and Han­ lon had to let him go. "I thought," said the manager, "that ho would prove to be .something of a ball player. I saw some of his weak points early in spring practice, but he seemed to lie able to get over thorn. Suddenly he lost all his base ball knowledge and thoii there was only one thing to do." With the outfield crumbling fast, Hanlon had to resort to almost anything to got players to help out Shockard. Before the season had finished he had managed to got together a fair assortment, and if Brook­ lyn had been playing the throe men from tho start who finished the year with the toani there is ample reason to believe that the Suporbas would have stood higher iu the race.

POSSIBLE DKSKUTIONS. What worries tin- average Brooklyn bn?,e

ball crank at the present time is tho re­ port that Sclmiidt and Jours aro thinking of jumping to the outlaw league in Cali­ fornia next summer. That will result in more trouble for the local management. Both of those men wore looked upon as a fair nucleus for a pitching staff in I'.JOl. Both of thorn have finished up well, Schmidt especially so, and it seemed as if Hanlon had a jyod start for next year, and would have mile to worry about on the pitching question, especially as there is a chance that ho may got some other ball players. Ho docs not worry over the matter. Possibly ho thinks that ho can bring both men into line, and that it is only a temporary hobby on their part to got back to the Slope. After they have boon there through the winter they may be more than glad to come to Brooklyn and play next sit miner. Brooklyn people would be rather sorry to see

SCHMIDT AND JONF.Sleave the city. Neither of tho men is a Miithewson, but both have done some good work for tho local team and there i.s nnu h loyalty expressed toward them by the en­ thusiasts of tho game. Schmidt, toward the latter part of the season, showed that he is a pitcher to bo relied upon, and un­ doubtedly would play bettor ball next year than ho has this year. His season of experience in tho National League should make him a valuable player to the Brook­ lyns of 1SJ04. Why in the world ho should want to go out to California, where there is nothing doing but a local reputation ahead, when ho is just beginning to estab­ lish a reputation for himself in the East i.s more than the average fan can see. However, the ball players do so much that tho average fans cannot understand that it is scarcely worth while to bother about it.

NOBODY SIGNED YET. None of the players is signed to a con­

tract for 1904. The management appears to be in no hurry to make terms with the men, but there is little reason to believe that they will bo embarrassed any when signing time comes. There mav be some clubs whore there will bo a lot of trouble, but it is not likely that Brooklyn will be one of them. The greatest kick is going to come in the American League, whore the old-timers who jumped tho National because of the big salaries they were to got will be told that tho day of over-

rown salaries has come to an end, and that they will have to satisfy themselves with a reasonable share of all that comes in at the gate. Of course they will ob­ ject. Ho\yovor. it is fair to assume that the objections will bo overruled and that they will have to put up with what could keep most men. but sometimes scorns small to the ball players.

JACK DOYLEhas finally boon put out of n game. The first time this year. Never has a player behaved with such rare discretion as Jack has behaved this season. To see him on tho field no one would think that he had boon anything but a model of base ball propriety all his life. There never has joon a year when ho has taken such good ^are not to interfere with the umpire or with the other ball players. Those who had soon him play in the metropolitan district for years were surprised to watch the decorous manner in which he conduct­ ed himself throughout the season.

It is rather queer that he cannot see how foolish it is to irovoke arguments with the umpire for the very good reason that his strong arm and good batting eye aro worth too much to the Brooklyns and they cannot afford to lave him out of the game with the outfit io better with tho stick than that which raveled for the City of Churches this year.

The Famrus Ex=Ledgus Player and Suo cessful Leader of a Leading Minor League Club Engaged to Pilot the Phiilies During tlse Season of 1904.

Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 1. The officers of the Philadelphia National League Club din-iu.;; the past week continued the rumors

uncut Hugh Duft'v, caused by the club's draft of four Milwaukee players, and ac- knowlodged that Unify had been engaged as manager of the Phiilies for next sea­ son. Uiift'y will take the place of Charles /immer, the present manager, and will shortly visit this city and arrange his plans for the future. /immer was signed to manage the local National League team late in the spring, upon the recommendation of Barney

Dreyfuss, of the Pittsburg Club. He was Riven full power to go ahead and sign the strongest players he could land. His work has not been satisfactory to the local owners, and as he was signed for one year only, he will be released at the end of the season, dimmer was handicapped in secur­ ing players, as he did not take up the reins of management until late in the spring. when all the best players were gobbled v.p. He has tried several young players, but has played against Dame Fortune all through the season. During the last few weeks the Phiilies nave been showing much improved form, and have held their own with the other League teams. Duffy lias had remarkable success in the West, especially with the Milwaukee team, with which club he has been connected for the past two seasons as manager. He will at once start to strengthen the team, and hopes to give Philadelphia a winning Na­ tional League club.

QUAKER QUIPS.Brief Kev'cw of the Season of the Two

Ltc.il Cu'is— Why the Athletics Lost the Pennant and the Phiilies Finished Near the Bottom in Their Race. tK?

Conn/e Mack

B>j F. C\ 21 ic filer.Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 30. Contrary to

expectations and probabilities the Ath­ letics' grand final rush for second place

has been crowned with suc­ cess. Four straight vic­ tories over Chicago put them within reach of the Clevelands, and put the is­ sue up to the last series with that team minus its star pitchers a very for­ tunate thing for the Athle­ tics alike financially and artistically and enabled them to close the season In a blaze of glory second only to that of last year, when they made such a grand finish and brought a

pennant to Philadelphia for the first time in nineteen years. Next to winning the championship second place was well worth fighting for, as in those same nineteen years the place has been won but once be­ fore by a local club. That the public thought the game well worth the candle is shown by the fact that the Athletics' patronage the past three weeks exceeded that accorded the new champion team in Boston.

TIi2 Alh'elics' Season.The American League champions enjoyed

a season of financial and artistic success second only to that of the pennant-winning

year. The public gave the club most generous support all season even when it Lie- came apparent that the pennant could not be re­ tained. On the whole the team played fair ball and gave the public a run for its money at all times. That it failed to land again was due to a combination of adverse circumstances, some of which could not be guarded against. The team was handicapped at the start by the necessity for

with young pitchers and the

Lave Cross

experimenting .. ._. .fitting in of an inferior player in the place of the incomparable Fultz. In time Picker- ing fell into the ways and system of the team, but he never quite replaced his brainy predecessor. Of the young pitchers, Bender alone made wholly good. Coakley proved a givat disappointment and Henley was a variable quantity until quite near the close, when he steadied down.

THE BIGGEST FACTORin the loss of the pennant was the man who last year was the greatest single fac­ tor in the winning of it Waddcll. That great pitcher after the first month of the season defied discipline, was in continuously poor condition, and as a result his work became so uncertain and poor that near the close of the season be became practical­ ly worthless to the club, which dispensed with his services the last month and won second place without him. Another hard blow was the illness of Harry Davis in mid-season and the disability of Hurtzell,

when the team was just beginning to lose ground. Hut

TIIIO HEAVIEST HANDICAP of all was the all-around and season-long batting slump of the team. Not a man batted up to last year's form, and instead of six men batting .300 only three men hit over that figure. So, all things considered, the team may easily be excused for losing the pennant and well congratulated upon finishing a good second, for which line achievement Manager Mack's patience, judgment and skillful handling is largely responsible. That the Athletics will be in the face again next year is well assured in view of the excellent new material gath­ ered by Manager Mack. We predict that Louis Bruce alone will prove a tower of strength to the team next year.

The Phil! es' Season.The unfortunate Phiilies. after lumbering

along throughout the campaign in all kinds of bad luck, finished the season like cham­

pions instead of a second- division club by making all kinds of records on their final Western trip their most succecssful trip in several years. They begai: by beating Pittsburg two out of three and dropping three out of four in Chi­ cago. Then they braced up, beat Cincinnati which was expecting a feast five out of eight, and cleaned up two out of three in St. Louis. In addition I.'raser pitched the only major

James Potter

Wm. Shellsline

league no-hit game of the year, and the Phillics broke the season's League batting record by making 100 safe hits in the eight Cincinnati games. They also kept up their hitting in St. Louis, thus making a finish which not only fcittened their individual records, but yielded food for the hope of better things next season. The last month's work proved conclusively our season-long contention that with good handling, better pitching, and the judicious strengthening of just two positions the Phiilies would be a big factor in the race, if not a pennant possibility. Kven as the team stands to-day it is only outclassed by three teams in the National League.

MISFORTUNES GALORE. No club ever played in harder luck than

the Philadelphia Club in its first season of the Potter regime. Starting with an un­

versed president, an inex­ perienced manager, and an experimental infield, the team was quickly sent into the air by the miserable work of the pitching corps, not a man of which, except­ ing Sparks, was in condi­ tion to pitch the kind of ball necessary to steady an experimental team. Once in the air the team could not, and did not, come back to earth until half the season had passed. Every new pitcher tried turned

out a failure, the various fielding combina­ tions proved futile, managerial errors of judgment abounded, games were lost un­ der most exasperating circumstances and bad umpiring occasionally helped to put tlie team deeper in the hole. However, af­ ter the acquisition, first of Gleason, who keyed up the infield, and later Titus, the team

BEGAN TO BRACE UPand play good ball, and the public, always patient 'with and loyal to the new owners, began to attend the games in ever-increas­ ing numbers. Then, on the eve of a long home-stand, with revived public interest in evidence by the biggest crowd of the sea­ son, and with every prospect of a good finish and a wiped-out deficit, in the twink­ ling of an eye came the crowning misfor­ tune of the season in the appalling terrace disaster. That shocking calamity, in the very park supposed to be the safest in the whole, world, threw the management on its beam ends, compelled the team to lie idle for nearly two weeks, robbed it of a home for the balance of the campaign and doom­ ed the season to financial failure. In the' whole range of professional ball there is no exact parallel to the Philadelphia Club's misfortunes of one season, the nearest ap­ proach thereto being the Chicago Club's disaster in 1871, when it lost everything, including the championship, by the confla­ gration which wiped the whole city of Chicago temporarily out of existence. Surely, if ever the Philadelphia Club should have one season of as much good fortune as it has had bad luck this year it would break all kinds of records for success.

BUIGHTEH PUOSPFX'TS. Leaving aside the question of damages

for the park disaster, for which, we be­ lieve, no recovery from the club is prob­ able, the indications are that the Phiilies have exhausted their bad luck. The ex­ cellent finish of the team after all of its handicaps gives reasonable ground for hope that with just -i little strengthening and good handling it will be a big factor in next year's race. That the tea in handling will be better than this year is certain in view of the fine record of the new man­ ager. Hugh Duffy. Honest, faithful Charley /tmmer did the best he could, but he was handicapped from the start by his lack of experience ass a manager. Duffy has had experience in every department of the game. For twelve years he was a star player, for many seasons he and McCarthy were the brains of the great Boston team, and after Nash's release he captained that team in several of its pennant-winning campaigns. In the great convulsion of 1901

HUGH DUFFYwent over to the American League and managed the Milwaukee team. When that team was transferred the next year to St. Louis Duffy preferred to remain in Mil­ waukee to run the new Western League club in that city in opposition to the local American Association club. For two years Duffy has had absolute control of the Mil­ waukee Club and demonstrated his ability

by fighting the Milwaukee battle with a minimum of loss for the Western League, fairly dividing the local patronage with a team of nobodies at the start, and by mould­ ing that team in two seasons into a com­ bination which won the Western League championship with the greatest ease, and gave Milwaukee the first pennant that city in its varied base ball career ever en­ joyed. If Duffy can do half as well for the Phiilies that team will be heard from next year: that he will do better than that is well assured from his record, his known ability and his knowledge of major league ball. " The two pitchers and two intielders Duffy will bring with him from Milwaukee do not look strong at this dis­ tance, but Duft'v is sufficiently familiar with the strength of the National League to be trusted to make no mistakes in so im­ portant a matter as the selection of young blood in his first season of return to the major league arena.

Lcca! Jottings.Titus' great batting on the Western trip

marked him as major league timber. All of the Western critics agree on that. He batted safely in twelve straight games.

Now for the Athletic-Philadelphia post- season games, all of which will be played on the Athletic grounds.

Connie Mack declares that pitcher Lee Fairbanks will certainly make good. He is pleased also with intielder Eddie Hilley's work in practice. ;

The Western ;-ri tics'praised McFetridge's pitching, but criticized his fielding. They declare that he seems afraid of hot bound­ ers and liners coining his way.

Uube Waddell struck out 301 batsmen in 17 games, a record which is believed never to have been equaled.

In Kenna. MePherson and Barry, the Phil­ adelphia Clnb has secured the most prom­ ising pitchers in the Western League. Hall, the New Haven short stop, has had little experience, and third baseman Cockman, of Milwaukee, too much. The latter has been playing in the minor leagves since 1894 and was Qnce drafted by Brooklyn, but turned back.

Secretary Roberts, who accompanied the Pin Hies on their last Western trip, got tired of it when he got as far as Cincinnati. He scratched St. Louis an.l returned home.

The Cincinnati Enquirer" rises to re­ mark anent our esteemed fellow-citizen: "All Connie Mack needs is a small tent, nnd with Bruce. Bender and Pinance he can start an Indian medicine show. Connie would look well in a Buffalo Bill wig bark­ ing about the properties of a cough cure."

Roy Thomas denies the story that he is to do a tnrii in vaudeville with Billy Ilnll- man. It is another Thomas who will dou­ ble with the Phiilies' utility man.

Manager Mack smiles at Manager Zim- mer's assertion that the Phiilies will show the Athletics how to play ball in the fall series.

Eraser's no-hit game against the Chi- cagos Sept. 18 was the first performance of the kind of his career.

Big Ralph Seybold has been doing some remarkable base running of late. Nobody, to look at him, would think it was in him.

Says the Cincinnati "Post:" "Titus, the Phiilies' outfielder. has improved greatly in batting and fielding since he last played against the Iteds. He looks to be of major league calibre now. The Phiilies gave up ,$1500 for his release, and they lauded a natural hitter all right."

In the opinion of the Chicago "Journal." "Jack Barry is a valuable player, who would be a star under a manager like Fred Clarke."

Just to show how uncertain base ball is we give Frank Hough's guess on the out­ come of the 1903 race in the "Inquirer" last April. Said Francis: "As a guess the Old Sport offers this as the probable stand- Ing of the clubs at the finish next fall: Ath­ letics, St. Louis. Boston. Cleveland, New York, Chicago, Washington and Detroit."

IN RED REVIEW.ThePassh g Show In Good Old Porktown

Tr.be of Kel. Disappointed All Followers Hut Squeezed Into the First Division The Terre Hottentot, De Armond, Shows Up Well. ___

Till Rr.n Mulford, Jr.Cincinnati. O., Sept. 27. Editor "Sport­

ing- Life:" The last act of the- diamond drama, "The Flag Rush of 1903," is over.

Here in Redlaud, where a 1 1-2-3 finish was deemed a

certainty, the Tribe of Kel. wound up in precisely the same place occupied last season. In 1902 the Reds lost the last farce of the year at Pittsburg, where the gang put up a burlesque in the mud, and that de­ feat all but dropped them into the second division a sad fate that was averted by the defeat of Frank Se-

Ren Mullord. It- lee's Cubs in half of a double-header at St. Louis.

The issue of fourth or fifth remained in doubt until the first game with Brooklyn, when Frank Halm's victory over Virgil Garviii in one of the most exciting slab duels of the campaign made the ousting of the Reds from the first division an im­ possibility. There is no telling how many Redlanders have been caught on wagers for huts that the Tribe of Kel. would be among the first three. All these ante-season forecasts are founded either on prejudice or desire. I never made one in my life. There.is typographical evidence to refute that statement, but the types on that oc­ casion were twisted. Over in St. Louis early in the season Harold Lanigan "lift­ ed" a prophecy made by J. Kd. Grillo and tacked my name to it. St. Louis ranked high at that time and "Lan" called atten­ tion to the fact that I had put the Car­ dinals away up. I might have posed for a wise gazabo for a few days, but the fore­ cast wouldn't look so good now, for New

York Nationals were labeled tail-enders! In this strenuous, uncertain game too many accidents are liable to occur to attempt to pierce the veil of the future. I did ex­ pect to see the Reds no lower than third, with an excellent chance for the highest honors, but that hope was strangled before April days were succeeded by the blos­ soming May. It would have taken a con­ tinuous run of a dozen or more victories to offset the awful handicap entailed by that April nightmare when the Reds' pitch­ ers would n'r-'ther pitch nor field, the hit­ ters failed to hit, and the outfielders were giving daily Muffing Carnivals in the gar­ den. Cincinnati was out of the champion­ ship running before the race was two weeks old!

A SEASON OF SUCCESS.In the face of that inexplicably disas­

trous start when the gang played like ama­ teur clutters instead of professional bril­ liants the season in Redland has been suc­ cessful. For months Cincinnati lost nearly every Sunday game played at home. Mul­ titudes were turned out of the palace of the fans, nursing the opinion that Kel'9 team was as beautiful a crowd of short skates as ever broke into the Red Treas­ ury. Despite those handicaps of a poor start and continuous Sabbath reverses more people have seer- the Reds play this year than in any other year in the history of the game. Two months ago the Red Club faced a threatened deficit, but look­ ing forward to a good series with Cleve­ land for the championship of Ohio the club now counts upcii a surplus, not enough to build a sky scraper, but one that will help some. If ever a ball club de­ served success the Red Club does. John T. Brush gave Balldoom the most magnificent structure in the world, and the Big Red Four have simply out-Brushed Brush. The thirteen players drafted and acquired by purchase this fall must have cost in the neighborhood of $10,000. It took a pretty penny to secure Claude Elliott and Tom Walker, and both Arthur Ragan and Lee Fohl were handed a bundle of cash.

HIT BY A QUAKER CYCLONE.The surprise of the last days of the fight

was afforded by the Phiilies. Chief Zim- mer's Quakers who paralyzed Brooklyn by taking five out of six in the East, took ad­ vantage of the prevalence of the double header industry here to pinch off five of the eight games that were crowded into the four afternoons spent in Redland. No such consecutively heavy hitting was ever done here before, not even in the days when poor old Del, Nap. Lajoie and Elmer Flick were Quaker heavy artillerists. Ar­ thur Ragan, the Texas Ranger, who won a pennant for Dallas, made his debut against the Pennsylvania Troopers, and what they did to him was a measly shame like the one Lottie Gilsoii sings about. He tried it again and the rain of doubles and triples continued. During the Quakers' so­ journ the Red field was as full of holes as a sieve. One hundred hits by Philadelphia and ninety-two by Cincinnati tell how the men at the firing line suffered during the series which gave Brooklyn a last hope that a first division position might at iast be captured. Ned Haulon caine here with the fond desire to take four straight, but the loss of the first in a marvelous game of ball anchored the Church City crowd in fifth. In that decisive game thirty base runners reached first, but two Reds and only one Brooklynite scored. The pilgrims didn't make much progress that afternoon, the last of the Ladies' days of the eventful season.

THE ROUND-UP OF RECRUITS.Four of the Red fledglings are on deck.

Arthur Ragan, from, Texas, came first. He hns not yet impressed as a coming Mathewson or McGir.uity. Chailey De Armond, the Terre Hottentot, was next. That lad proved to be Johuny-on-the-Spot. When Harry Steinfeldt crashed into one of the stona uprights at Rooters' licw and cut a gash in his knee cap, the youngster from the Central League went to third. He handled himself like another Stein­ feldt. His whip is strong and he shot the ball across in the same way the Texan does. There isn't a man on the team with more speed. In the eight games with Philadelphia he scored nine runs a uiarvel- ously good average, while he out-hit two or three of the regulars, though he lacked something like ten points of gaining cre­ dentials to the Society of Three Hundred. The Terre Hottentot is a sure fly catch and he hadn't been in the game ten min­ utes before everybody in the crowd were impressed with the idea that in De Armond the Reds had picked up a jewel one of those diamonds in the rough you read about. Cincinnati owes the acquisition of De Armond to my old side-partner, C. E. Lamberton "Lamb" -now editor of the Terre Haute Star. He urged the club to get the boy and made tlie deal for Cin­ cinnati. In De Armond it looks as if the Reds had at last bagged another Tinker, Evers or Hulswitt. Lee Fohl, the Hawk- eve backstop, impresses as a good hard- hitter, but his throwing has not been free, while he has had his trouble holding pitchers. That last mishap is not to b« counted against him, however. Dan Ker- win, the Louisville outfielder. looks like the goods. He made his debut against the '.reensourg Reds, and I went to Hoosu'rtown to see him perform. He is another fast flyer and a cracking good thrower. Kel was tickled over the showing he made. If the Reds had had Ke.rwin in the spring, when fly balls were dropping safe in the suburbs, that April slump might have been stopped. With De Ar- .iiond and Kerwin as fair saii'ples it looks as if the Reds would average well in the try-out of raw recri its. Jack Sutthol'f, a comeback, was the only one of the spring beauties who did not fade under a sum­ mer sun. and the early evidences are that the total eclipse of the spring will not be repeated. Kel I ears lots of good words for Tom W'alker. There is evidence at hand to warrant the belief that undue influences are at work to get the Louis- villian to balk on coming to Cincinnati, but the Redland claim will not be re­ linquished, ami one or two Bostcniajis may as well put that in their pipe and smoke it.

! extraordinary. Boston and Philadelphia I again carried oft' the palm for big profits. ; while Cleveland and Chicago are also said

to have done well. St. Louis did so well on t lie road that the club is probably ahead of the season. New York, at one time an apparent frost, pulled up so grandly iu the second half that the club will quit little, if anything, loser on the season. Detroit and Washington are, of course, the sure losers of the season. In the matter of deport­ ment the campaign left little to complain

I of. as the players generally behaved well, j while the umpires performed their duties | to general satisfaction. Following is the I complete JiXKi record: ___

I)i/ Francis C. JRichler.The third i-.niuial campaign of the Amer­

ican League as a national organization, which began April 20, ended September 29 with the. Boston team as the pennant win­ ner after a hard campaign, which was ex­ ceeded in excitement only by the spectacu­ lar capture of the pennant last year by the Athletics. When the 1903 campaign start­ ed all of the. teams had stru gthened so much that it was conceded that the race would be even harder than that of 1902, as at least six teams appeared to have almost equal chance for the pennant. True to pre­ dictions, the race proved to be a grand one, although the Boston team :soon showed that the winner would have-to reckon at all times with Boston.

COLLIXS' UK RAT T.EAM. •which in its tirst season finished second and last year third, got into the race right at the start, kept on an even keel all the time, and by June 23 had gained the lead, never again to be headed, although the race was close riKmgh to keep all contenders guessing until within three weeks of the closing of the campaign. The success of Collins' team, popular all over the Ameri­ can League circuit, was due to even bal­ ance, fine "inside" work, hard batting, brilliant fielding, clever handling by Man­ ager Collins. the effective pitching of Young, Dineeii and Hughes, and the won­ derful support accorded them by catch­ ers Parrel and Criger. In every respect the Boston team proved itself to be the strongest team in the American League, as strong abroad as at home, and therefore fairly entitled to championship honors.

THE PLACR CONTENDERS were the Athletics. Cleveland and New Yorks. who were all season the only real contenders with Boston for the flag. The champion Athletics made a game fight to hold the pennant until July, when it not inly lost the lead, but dropped down to third place in August, where it remained until September, when it made a grand rally for the place, beating Cleveland out by a nose in the final series of the season between these two teams. The loss of the pennant was due to pitching weakness, ow­ ing to Waddeil's misbehavior and failure of young pitchers, a season-long batting Blump, and the loss of Hartzell and Davis' valuable services for part of the season.

TIIK OTHER FIUST DIVISION TRAMS.The powerful Cleveland team got a poor

start, but made a brilliant mid-season run, and up to September seemed to have sec­ ond place cinched, only to lose it by a hair to the Athletics on the last Eastern trip, which had to be made without the services of the team's three star pitchers, who were all disabled. This team's pennant chances were .twice destroyed—in the earlv part of the season by Lajoie's illness and'Wright's failure, and in the latter part by the break-down of the pitching department; also by the team's singularly poor road work. The all-star New York team proved to be the greatest disappointment in the Lefgue. It got a poor start, owing to the illness of Long, the disability of Fultz, the failure of Chesbro and Tannehill to get their bearings, the friction with O'Connor, and a general batting slump. It was- fur­ ther heavily handicapped by its new and therefore rough ground. For half the sea- sun the team trailed in the second di­ vision, but finally Manager Griffith got: things to working smoothly, braced up his infield with Klberfeld, and in the latter half of the season the Highlanders showed their true calibre. They not only held their own thereafter on the road 'but proved their superiority at home, gradually got into the race good and hard, and finished a very close fourth.

TIIK SBCONI) DIVISIONfontai.i'.C'J the other disapnointirer t.< of tho season. The Detroit team, with its splen­ did pitching staff and other added stars. «<H:Kl only gain two pegs over the preced­ ing season, thus scoring a comparative failure. The team's downfall was due to light hitting, the collapse of the infield which necessitated constant experimenting lo till the places of Klberfeld and Smith, tho partial failure of the original outfield and the season-long hick of a first-class third baseman. The St. Louis team fell from second place last year to sixth place this season, owir.i; to partial failure of (he pitchers, the injury to Padden, the let­ down of McCormick. the batting slump of the outfielders and a general lack uf con­ dition due to lax discipline in the earlv stages of the race. The cx-chnmpion Chi- cagos finished a poor seventh, owing to Callahan's managerial inexperience, th.- lack of a third has-oman, due to George Da vis' rebellion: the illness of catcher Sul­ livan, the general weakness of 'he iniield and the season-long light hitting of the en­ tire (can:. The Washington team finished last with even poorer record than last year's BaKinvn-e tail-emlcr made, despite MipposeJ strengthen!!!}:. Tho causes of tlii.-i lamentable failure were mainly the trouble with and final loss of De!*h*iuy, the f; t i|. urc of two pitchers, const nil t shifting of positions owing to an unparalleled scries of accidents to players, and consistently light hitting.

player in the world—a class above even Wagner.Donovan and Kitson of Detroit, were pitchers

not taken out of the box during a game this season.

Dougherty's average Is .343, wonderful hitting for a man who has been in fast company but two years.

Young Murphy, of Roxburg, fitted in well for the Detroits at short. He is an energetic, hard­ working player.

Tom Ixrftus banks heavily on second basenian Joe Cassidy, of Harrisburg, making good for him next season.

Wedding bells will sound for Dr. White about the time the season rings off. He will locate at Washington, D. C.

Comiskey's new third baseman, Clark, is only 19 years of age, and has not seen a full season even in a minor league.

8 SPORTINQ October 3, 1903.

The Official Record of thei 903 Pennant Race, With Tabulated Scores, and Accurate Accounts of all the Championship Games Played to Date.

EH Francis C. Richter.The thirtieth annual campaign of the

National League, which began April 15, ended Sept. 27, with Pittsburg as the pen­ nant winner for the third consecutive time. The result was discounted from the start, as the Pirates admittedly outclassed all of their rivals. Nevertheless the champions did not win as easily as in the preceding year, the loss of two star pitchers and two vet­ eran catchers, and occasional injuries to important players acting 'as a handicap. However, whenever it became necessary for the Pirates to extend themselves they were always able to respond and hold a safe lead at all times. Their batting, base running and superb system of team work, combined with Manager Clarke's splendid handling, easily offset some weakness in the battery 'department. For the first- two months the champions trailed behind New York and Chicago alternately, but on June 19 they assumed the lead and were never again headed. So fast did they go that by September their lead was insur­ mountable, affording opportunity for trying out much young blood. A pleasing fea­ ture of the Pittsburgh work was their season-long abstention from kicking and rowdyism—misnamed "scrappy" playing— which had formerly been held as indispen­ sable to pennant winning. So, in all re­ spects, the Pittsburgs proved themselves worthy exemplars and champioas of the grand old League.

TUB OTHER FIRST DIVISION TRAMS.The chief interest in the race from start

to finish centered in the running fight for second place between New York and Chi­ cago. The Giants at one time led in the race, then dropped to third place, but eventually fought their way back to second place, where they finished. The totally un­ expected success of this team was due to McGraw's good management, the great pitching of Matthewson and McGinnity, eitver inside work of the whole team, and ability to play as good ball abroad as at home. What is said of New York also applies largely to Selee's clever Chicago

•team of tried veterans and hustling young­ sters, except that fine base running played a larger part and great pitching a lesser part in Chicago's success than in New York's, but both teams were the great sur­ prises, and therefore great financial saviors, of the National League season. The great­ est disappointment was the Cincinnati team, which looked like a pennant possi­ bility and was lucky to finish a poor fourth, thanks largely to indifferent pitch- Ing, slow fielding and thinking, and miser­ able base running, all of which more than offset fine batting.

THE SRCO3SID DIVISION was beaded by Brooklyn, which last year finished second. The loss of Keeler, Dono- van and Kitson compelled almost season- long battery and outfield experimenting, without repairing the void, and only Man­ ager Haiilon's skillful handling of his erratic team kept it in the race at all for a first division place and landed it a very close fifth. Boston made a miserable run­ ning, and finished a poor seventh, owing to the failure of the pitching corps and the all-round batting weakness of the team. The Phillies, handicapped by an inexper­ ienced manager and an inferior pitching corps, got a poor start and were soon left In the ruck, from which they never were nble to extricate themselves. All things considered, they were luckv to escape the tail end, which fell to St. Louis. That team, too. fell far below last year's form, owing to lack of condition at the start, the season-long reversal of form of most of the pitchers, and the failure of certain iu- lielders and outfielders to play up to form and expectation.

IN A FINANCIAL WAYthe National League w.'.s a success, thanks largely to the popularity of the New York, I'ittsburg and "Chicago 'teams at home and abroad. The League increased its grand to­ tal of attendance over last year, gained on the opposition in Chicago, Boston and Phil­ adelphia, held its own in St. Louis, and practically swept the board in New York. It is believed that the New York Club cleared the biggest profit in the history of the game, the amount being estimated at considerably more than $100,000. It is cer­ tain also that Pittsburg. Chicago and Cin­ cinnati made big money. Brooklyn also cleared some profit. Boston made a big gain on last vear's deficit, while Philadel­ phia and St. Louis are claimed as compara­ tively suinll losers. In

TUB MATTKR OF DEPORTMENT the League campaign was th;> btst since Brotherhood year, thanks largely to the firm, impartial and unobtrusive nile of the new president. Mr. Harry Pulliam, who sec red an unqualified st-ccess in his first campaign as League Executive. The club owners also deserve some credit for the wonderful diminution of rowdyism, as they lived so closely to the Fleischman resolu­ tion that no protest was made against any presidential ruling, no com­ plaint whatever was filed against any umpire, and not even a change of officials was ever requested throughout the season. There was an entire absence of scandalous incidents or riotous behavior, and a mark­ ed diminution of umpire baiting. In all probability the Cincinnati peace treaty had its effect upon discipline, as it plainly showed the players that the days of anar­

chy and chaos were gone for the time being. It should also be added that the iimpiring was uniformly good, thus giving players and public little to cavil at. Fol- lowing is the complete 1903 recordk_____

10 SPORTINQ October 3, 1903.

The Official Record of the 1903 Pennant Race, With Tabulated Scores, and Accurate Accounts of all the Championship Games Played to Date.

The American Association finished Its second campaign with circuit unimpaired, all clubs in good financial condition and with, splendid outlcok for the future. The race, which began April 22, ended Septem­ ber 21, with St. Paul as the champion team. For the first half of the season the pace was fast and furious, Kansas City, Milwaukee and Indianapolis alternately leading until July 29, when St. Paul forged to the front and was never again headed. About that time, also, the Louisville team came up from the second division and made a memorable up-hill battle, which eventu­ ally landed the Colonels a good second. Milwaukee, which in the first h:ilf of the season seemed a sure pennant winner, met with so many accidents that it was com­ pelled to relax its grip and was lucky to finish third. The champion Indianapolis team proved too wenk lu pitching and bat­ ting to recapture the flag, and did well to finish fourth. Kansas City also fell short In pitching strength and was never more than a minor factor in the race. The Co­ lumbus team proved the greatest disap­ pointment of the season, trailed along in the rear from the start, and only in the last month braced up enough to finish a poor sixth. The seventh club, Minneapolis, never was able to overcome the handicap of a miserable start, while Toledo was con­ sistently weak all the way, and is fairly entitled to last place. The complete 1003 record follows:

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION NEWS.Pitcher Fouks, the new Indianapolis twirler,

is resting in Milwaukee.Outflelder Dunleavy, of Milwaukee, has return­

ed to his home in Alameda, Cal.Louisville has been trying out two young pitch­

ers—Wright, of the Southern League, and Akers, a Louisville^ youngster.

The Minneapolis team disbanded at Milwaukee, but several of the players joined the Brewers for a short post-season trip.

The Columbus team played an exhibition game at Piqua, O., on Sept. 22, and, with Berger pitching, was beaten 6 to 5.

Tebeau says he is neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet, but he means to have a pennant winning team next season.

The Brewers wanted to arrange a series of Kames with Duffy's Creams, but the Western League players preferred to go home.

According to Manager Watkins, the best out- fleldcr in the Association, Shannon, of St. Paul, was entirely overlooked by the drafting major league clubs.

Tom Bryee's band of Senators were the dis­ appointment of the season in the Association. At the beginning of the season they were touted as pennant winners.

It is not certain that .Toe Cantillon will again manage Milwaukee's team noxt season. He has not re-signed, as was reported, and has other offers under consideration.

Cincinnati's draft of catcher Kleinotv, of To­ ledo, has proved to be invalid, as Manager Stro- bel sold that player to the New York American League Club three weeks ago.

Columbus' new pitcher, Harry Hardy, Is a glnssblower by trade, and he expects to spend the winter working in a glass mill at Mathews, Ind. His home is in Dubois, Pa.

Billy Clymer has been re-engaged as manager of the I-ouisvilles for noxt season. The Louis­ ville players presented him with a silver loving cup on the last day of the season.

Irf)iiisville has signed catcher Claude Barry, of Dallas; pitcher Frank Wftles. of Defiance, O., and pitchers Wright and Tyler Christian, of the Henderson team of the K. I. T. League.

President Tebeau, of the Louisville Club, an­ nounces that players Fred Odwell. Dan Kerwin, Walker, Bohannon and Egan will be members of the Cincinnati Club next season. Tobcau says he got player for player, but did not give out the list.

Manager Watkins, of Indianapolis, says that he and his partner. Charles Ruscbaupt, are sat­ isfied with the season financially. The profits of the season are to be applied in strengthening the club for next year, and Watkins says $3000 has already been expended.

According to unofficial averages Jiggs Donahue, of Milwaukee, leads the batsmen with .340. The other 300 men, in order, are Geier, Clymer, Grady. Nance, Tom Turner, Kihm, Huggius, Kerwin, Yeager. Terry Turner, JackSon, Ber. nard. Shannon, B. Smith, Kleinow, Ganley and Mike Kelloy.

The American Association will defer signing players until the magnates get together and have a thorough understanding as to the salary which the club owners decide to pay. Some of the clubs are carrying a salary list which almost aggregates $3500 a month, and it is even rumor­ ed that some clubs are paying out more than that.

The Pitchers' Year.From Milwaukee Journal.

The foul strike rule has Riven the pitch­ ers a greater advantage over hatters than they have ever before held in rhe history of base ball, a id there can be no question lint that it has b<?eu the cause of the great number of shut-out and few-hit games.' The public generally has not taken kindly to the foul strike rule, for it likes free hitting and plenty of base running. Therefore, the pronounced mastery that the pitcher has over the batsman can hardly bo suc­ cessful from the spectator's standpoint.

NEW YORK LEAGUEThe Official Record of the 1903 Pennant Race, With Tabulated Scores, and Accurate Accounts of all the Championship Games Played to Date.

The eighth consecutive season of the New York League, which began May 8, ended September 20, with Schenectady as the pennant winner after a long and hard tight with Troy and Syracuse, which teams alternated the lead with Scheuectady until the very last day of the season, when Scheuectady barely managed to win out. The champion Albany team had a disap­ pointing season and finished in fourth place. Utica did slightly better than in 1902, finishing fifth this "season. Iliou and Bingharnton fell far behind last year's form, while Johnstown this season, as last year, graces the tail. The season was high­ ly successful, financially, as well as artisti­ cally. All of the teams made some money- several quite a lot; and there was no shift in circuit, although the Utica Club changed owners during the campaign. The probabil­ ity therefore is great that the circuit will remain unchanged for next year. The com­ plete 1903 record follows:

The llion Association has not made publift the condition of their finances, but it is be­ lieved that they will close the season with a very small margin of losses.

On the night of Sept. 23 the champion Sche­ nectady players were tendered a big street pa­ rade, after which followed a banquet at the Edison Hotel. The dinner was flue and the function was In all respects most enjoyable.

Mason, the young Lockport pitcher let out by Toronto in the spring, was the mainstay of the Schenectady Club in tho box during the season. He was one of the leading pitchers of this League. Washington had drafted him for next season.

Directors of the Utica Base Ball Association conferred last week with officials of the Utica & Mohawk Valley. Railway Company relative to grounds for next season. The company is ex­ pected to make a proposition to the association later on.

The Utica Base Ball Association was Incor­ porated last week. The capital is $3000, divided into CO shares. It begins business with $1000. T'ue Directors are Sjieneer R. Udell, Harry E. Devendorf H. James Horrocks, Thomas Wheel­ er, Walker P. Uickox, of Utica.

Beu Ellis, the popular captain of the Sche­ nectady outfit, has demonstrated that he is a capable manager as well as player, and the Blec- tric City fans can well feel proud of their star third basoman, the man who made possible the elevation of the pennant at their ball park.

An ordinance has been introduced in the Syr­ acuse Common Council to open a street through Star Park. Similar action has been taken by

the Council at Intervals during the past fifteen years. George N. Kuntzsch, who has a leua« of the park for base ball and other purposes, is, of course, opposed to the proposed action of the Aldermen.

NEWS OF THE CHAMPIONS. Pine Bluff, Ark., Sept. IV.—Euiior "Sport­

ing Life:"—By taking the Cotton Stales League pennant of 1903 Baton Kouge naturally looma up somewhat prominently above the base ball horizon. Incidentally, of course. Bob Fender, captain and man­ ager of the team, appears most conspicu­ ously. In a talk he related that the out­ look for next season was most promising. Like many others, however, he thinks that the league should get together on the mat­ ter of salary limit, and not go over the amount of $800 per month, which is the maximum for clubs in Class D, to which, the Cotton States League belongs. There has been, during the season which just closed, too marked a tendency to overleap this limit. There is no question but what all parties interested would fare better if the officials of the league formed a solid compact, and adhered to the regulation in. this respect. Fender thinks that there would be just as much interest taken in the games, and patronage would be equally as good. All towns in the league are en­ thusiastic over the experience of the sea­ son just passed, says Fender, and all are strongly disposed to remain in next year, and go after the pennant with vigor and vim. Mr. Fender speaks in terms of high praise of President George Wheatley, of Greenville, and says Wheatley has pre­ sided over the affairs of the league to the satisfaction of all parties concerned. Only two days of last season Baton Rouge failed to lead the teams. Greenville and Vicks­ burg held first place on the days men­ tioned. Fender entered the base ball field in 1890. playing in the Texas League, with Galvestou, as third baseman. Since that time he has played with Seattle, Wash.; Mobile, Ala., and In clubs of various other leagues. He is one of the most popular players In the Cotton States League, and his friends are glad that Fender won the pennant.

SPORTING LIFE. October 3, 1903.

The Official Record of the!903 Pennant Race, With Tabulated Scores, and Accurate Accounts of all the Championship Games Played to Date.

The third armral campaign of the South­ ern Leasju'j, which began April '2?>, ended September 20. with n new clnmpion team after one of the hardest and most sensa­ tional races in the history of the sport. From the start the fight was fast and furi­ ous betwven Memphis, Little Rock, Nash­ ville and Atlanta. Each team forged to the front at times, only to drop buck again until mid season, when Memphis seemed to have the pennant cinched. Then Little Rock spurted, alternately caught and pass­ ed Memphis, and it was not until the very last day of the campaign that the latter managed to win out by a nose. Next to the two leaders the best showing was made by Shrcvoport, which, though at one time almost distanced, came up from the tail to a fine third-place finish. The strong At lanta team had to be satisfied with fourth place, largely owing to lack of team work and harmony. The two-time pennant win­ ter, Nashville, did not strengthen suffi­ ciently for the race, soon dropped to the rear and finally wound up in fifth place. The sixth and seventh clubs, Birmingham and Montgomery, played fine ball at times, but were not well balanced enough for long sustained effort. The New Orleans team was outclassed from the start and was almost entirely reconstructed at great ex pense, without improving matters, the team finishing in last place just the same. Financially the season was again success­ ful. The complete 1903 record follows:

Pinal Games Played September 20.MEMPHIS vs. ATLANTA AT MEMPHIS

SEPT. 20.—In this, the final game of the sea son, Memphis won the pennant. The con test was hard fought and exciting. When the last visitor was thrown out pandemon­ ium broke loose. Thousands of people thronged the field and diamond, and several Memphis players were lifted from the ground and carried to the players' bench by enthusiastic admirers. Flags were waved and the crowd showed its de­ light by great cheering. The attendance broke all previous records, fully 7,000 peo pie being present. The locals hit Ely hard, while Mclntyre pitched good ball, though not up *o his usual standard. The Mem­ phians had one of their battingdaysand this won for them. Perry Werden, the veteran first-baseman, was presented with a diamond while at bat in the fourth inning, and re paid his friends with a single. The score:MEMPHIS. AB.R.B. P.

SOUTHERN NEWS.Memphis has purchased outflelder Plass from

the Natchez Club.Padueah won the loving cup from Cairo In the

post-season series In the K. I. T. League.The Birmingham team at Vlcksburg, Sept. 17,

was beaten 1 to 0 by the local Cotton States League team.

The New Orleans players disbanded Sept. 21. A number of them re-signed for next season, and all were reserved.

Poujrherty. of Atlanta, has the oonsoetitlve- wlnninp; record In the Southern League, having won 10 games in succession.

Abnor Powell is going to turn his Atlanta Club into a stock company, the stock of which will be placed solely with Atlanta people.

The stockholders of the Monroe, La.. Fair and Amusement Association have decided to place a team In the Cotton States League next year.

New Orleans Is said to have lost money dur­ ing the past season, a fact due to the wild and wooly way in which players were gone after and turned loose.

Manager Fisher, of Nashville, says he will advocate a salary limit of $1800 to" $2000 per month, exclusive of manager's salarv, at every league meeting this fall and winter!

Manager Newt. Fisher, of Nashville, has re­ served all of his players, and will sign a num­ ber of new ones. The seating capacity of his Nashville grandstand will be increased 500.

Once more Mike Finn, of Little Rock, lost the pennant by a nose. For three seasons now he has finished with the three leaders, some­ thing that no other manager in the South can say.

The Atlanta "Journal" gives a list of the managers for next season, placing Charley Frank, now of the Memphis team, at New- Orleans, and Tlieo. P.reiteustcin, the Memphis slabman, in charge of the Memphis bunch.

On the last trip of the season the Atlanta players engaeed in three fights among 1 hem- selves, of which pitcher Frank Killen won one and lost two. He fiist knocked out Lauzon and was afterwards bested by Matthews and Lau­ zon.

The New Orleans scribes nre trying to show that the Pelican City made the old ball player. Abuer Powell. It is more likely that the clever base ball man made New Orleans the good city it was in base ball, for when he left there the city soon went to the bad. while Atlanta came up In the base ball world. Powell was there. Facts are facts.

Manager Whistler, of Montgomery, declare* that the Little Hock Club owners tried to In­ duce him to transfer two postponed games from Montgomery to Little Rock: that failing, they wanted him to play two postponed games at Little Rock, on Sunday, the 20th, the day after Montgomery's schedule officially closed, all of which Whistler says he, in justice to Memphis, virtuously refused.

The attendance of the different cities will overreach any record ever established by a Southern League. Memphis leads with 110.000. Atlanta is second with 98.000 paid, while New Orleans will probably come third around the 80.000 mark. Little Rock. Nashville and Bir­ mingham are bunched behind these three teams around the 70,000 mark. Shreveport and Mont­ gomery each drew about 50,000.

Miss Laura Snelling hns sued the Memphis Baseball Association, the city of Memphis nnd the Memphis Street Railway Company for $5000 damages. She claims thnt she was seriously in. jured recently by being struck on the head by a foul ball while riding in a car. She was pass­ ing the ball park when the foul hall was knock­ ed, and after passing over the grand stand struck her with much force and inflicted painful and serious injuries on her, she claims.

So Much For Padding.The most reliable statements concerning

the financial profits of a ball club come from the players. Day after day they see the stands filled with people at fifty and seventy-five cents per head and assume that everything Is velvet. At the end of the season the interviews begin to bob up, in which this or that club has made all the way from $600,000 to $1,000,000. Easy money.—North American.

The Official Record of the 1903 Pennant Race, With Tabulated Scores, and Accurate Accounts of all the Championship Games Played to Date.

The twelfth consecutive annual cam­ paign of the Eastern League, which began April 30, ended September 26, with Jersey City as the champion team after a lop­ sided race, in which Jersey City and Buft'a- lo were the only real contenders for the flag from the start. The Jersey City team punctuated its brilliant career with two remarkable runs of victories—1C straight at the start, and 24 straight toward the end of the season, the last-named run enabling it to win out. Buffalo made a game strug­ gle, and at one time seemed to have the pennant won, but a series of accidents in mid-season threw the team on its beam ends, and it did well to finish second. To­ ronto got such a bad start that its magnifi­ cent work in the second half of the sea- sou could only land it third. Baltimore's experimental team floundered around until Hugh Jenuings took charge, after which it became a factor in the race and finished fourth after a long battle for the place with Newark. The remaining teams, Prov­ idence, Montreal and Rochester, were.out­ classed from start to finish and were never anything more than fillers-in. For these clubs the season was a financial failure, of. course, and towards the close of the sea­ son all were compelled to frequently trans­ fer games. The Montreal team started the season In Worcester, where things became so bad that in July the team had to be transferred for the balance of season to Montreal, where also paying support was lacking. Four of the clubs, however, made good money, namely, Buffalo, Jersey City, Toronto and Newark; and the new club, Baltimore, broke about even, thus assuring that city to the Eastern League for the future. Following is the complete 1903 rec­ ord:

of nearly $20,000 to the treasury of the Buffalo Club, not a very bad in- vostmenet, when only one of the whole bunch, Mclu- tyre, was purchased for : he Buffalo team. Milligan was picked up after he was turned down by Phila­ delphia, and now Stall!usrs will receive $4000 for him from New York. Gettman was with the team when « was purchased from Mrs.

October 3, 1903. SPORTING

Continued.The hosts gathered on the beach bnd no

irore than time to exclaim at the wonder of the spectacle than the panorama was changed and nothing but the blue ocean could be seen to the north and east of San Lorenzo, for the fleet had disappeared behind the island, to be seen no more by the inhabitants of Callao and Lima until the vow made years before should be ful­ filled.

And then not only al! Callao ami nil Lima, but many who had journed from Payta. from Pisco, from Chorillos and from other Peruvian cities, went back to their homes, to talk of what had happened and say to one another. "Is not this all a dream?" But no. for there, out in Callao Bay, rolling gracefully at anchor, was one of those wonderful ships, the Mirnflores, left to guard the port.

This occurred on the 8th of June, the second day after the appearance of tbe fleet and the declaration made to the poo- pie by the brothers Garcia y Garcia. Mat­ ters of moment had happened in the in­ terim, but as they were affairs of state, and did not directly affect the progress of events, and, moreover, as they might prove uninteresting to the reader, who is doubtless anxious to arrive »it the main points of this history, they will be briefly told, in order that we may bear down upon the squadron before the southern par.t of the Peruvian coast is passed.

The night of June ti, after the search­ light had been turned from the spot whore the Shamrock had gone down and darkness had fallen over the water. Admiral Garcia turned to his American guests and said: "The Britisher was a brave man It showed rare courage to face such a death; no clash of arms to stimulate, only a slow sinking into a grave from which the slight­ est motion would have saved him."

"He died a sailor's death," was Admiral Skerrer's comment.

By this time the small boats had com­ menced to return to the ships, and as the rescued Englishmen reached the; decks they were sent below with the Peruvians, who were told to furnish them with cloth­ ing and relieve them of their wet jjar-IM'lltS.

An officer stepped from the second boat to reach the Oroya and walked quickly to the bridge, water dripping from his cloth- lug. Approaching Admiral Garcia, lie ox- ciaimed»haughiily: "Sir, I am. or rather was. the executive officer of the Shamrock. As our captain has gone down with lii? ship and as he prevented my going with him. it happens that I am ranking officer of those who are left. 1 therefore offer you a surrender, for I cannot well do anything else, and I request that we be treated as prisoners of war."

"Keep your sword, sir," replied Admiral Garcia. "War has not been declared, al­ though Great Britain will now probably take that step. What we wished to pro- vent has been accomplished and you and your men may consider yourselves our guests until to-morrow, when yon may go elsewhere. As you must be chilled, sir, Mr. Cordero will conduct you and other officers of the Shamrock to tbe ward room, where you will be furnished dry clothing and whatever else you may require."

The British lieutenant-commander salut­ ed and left the bridge, accompanied by Admiral Garcia's flag officer. He had been gone but a few minutes when the Ameri­ can admiral asked that his barge be called alongside, and shaking hands with Admiral Louis, he wished him good-night.

An hour later Carey Ilawkins and the old friend of his bovhood days stood alone on the bridge. A Leavy fog bad settled over the bay, obscuring the shore lights and even the masthead lights of the ships that rode at anchor near the Oroya.

"Carey." said the admiral, after a long pause, '"'the death of that bra .'c officer op presses me. I had hoped to sink the Sham­ rock without the loss of a single life."

"But he chose to die; It was not directly jour doing."

"I know. I know. And. Carey. that very trait of the Englishman demonstrates what an undertaking is ours. Obstinate, tyrannical, preferring death to yielding even with honor, the British sailor and soldier is a foe not to be treated lightly."

"Are you then sorry that you have taken this step'.'"

"No, it had to be done and now Is as good a time as any, perhaps better. But we should turn in. I will show you the state-room I had in mind for you even when the Oroya was building," and he led the way to the f-abin.

The next morning, by breakfast time, all Lima was in holiday attire. From the llagstaffs on houses there floated red. white

:ul red ensigns, and those persons who mid not display the national colors .in ils manner draped the bunting in win-

lows or on balconies. The streets were ironged. the crowd being the densest in ic vicinity of the Oroya Railroad sta- 011. where, at any moment. Admiral ,ouis Garcia y Garcia and his staff, as

of Lima close in behind the procession. Before the officers reached the palace the plaza was crowded from side to side and even the fountain was blotted from view by the persons who had climbed to the very top, in their efforts to secure Vantage points.

It had been the Intention to have the admiral at once appear before the Con­ gress, but this the people would not agree to. and he was compelled to address them from the large balcony. Even when he appeared they would not let him speak, being determined to flrst give him an ova­ tion, and when their overwrought feelings at last found vent It seemed as if the sound waves that rose and fell over that great plaza would never cease, nor did they until the shouters and they were everybody could shout no longer. It Is said that strong men fainted in the crowd that day, to such height was their excite­ ment carried; women became hysterical and all Lima seemed mad.

At last, when the uproar had abated somewhat. Admiral Garcia y Garcia raised his hand and there was at once silence, a hush so profound that men could hear the ticking of watches, for all over that city street car and carriage traffic was suspended.

Then the admiral told his hearers the story of the Inca. of the vow, of the treas­ ure and of the building of the navy; he told them of happenings with which yon and I are familiar and of which they had heard only in brief, by word of mouth or from the columns of the official news­ paper. He told it in such a manner that they lost sight of Admiral (Jan-la, com­ mander of the navy, and thought of him only as a patriot: they forgot that they were being addressed by a .man who was of their day and it seemed as if an Inea, of whom tradition spoke, had appeared before them.

well as other officers of the Peruvian navy, were due to arrive from Callao.

A regiment of infantry marched down tbe street from the large plaza and a com­ pany was left at each corner, from where the men side-stopped until there was a double row of soldiers from the station en­ trance to the capitol building, where Con­ gress was in session, waiting the arrival of the fleet commander.

At 10 o'clock the rumble of an approach­ ing traiu was heard. It drew into the station, stopped and when the noise of the- wheels on the rails died away a roar burst from the multitude that had gath­ ered on the streets and siuged onto house­ tops and balconies, for they had seen emerging from the door of the station, a man of commanding presence, clad in a uniform of black, ornamented with gold braid and a golden sun upon his breast a uniform they had learned the day before was that of the new Peruvian navy and near him were a score of officers similarly dressed. At this the rush of the populace was so great. In their eagerness to press nearer these heroes, to lift them from their feet and carry them to the public- plaza, that tbe visitors would have been swept from the carriages that were in wailing had it not been for a squad of sailors who surrounded the admiral's party and reinforced the infantry. A few min­ utes later the equipages wore driven at a rapid trot to the palace, and as the last carriage moved along, the space behind was immediately tilled with people. You have sat upon the beach and traced your finger along the sand and watched the water follow it and fill the space, have you not? And so that day did the people

for war exists and our only step, as I view the matter, is to issue a proclamation to the ministers resident as to the status of affairs."

"What about the transfer of the treasure and the rights to property in the Chincha Islands?"

"As to that, Louis, the Congress has shown the most gratifying appreciation. Our offer to turn over everything to the nation has been rejected and a bill has been passed calling for a special election, at which a constitutional amendment will be voted upon."

"And the amendment, what are its terms?"

"It provides that the President of Peru, the admiral in command of the naval forces and the secretary of state shall have full control of the Chincha Islands and everything thereon for a period of twenty years, after which all shall revert to the Government and be treated as other state property."

"By that time Cuzco will be rebuilt and will be a city as in the days of our fore­ fathers," said Admiral Louis.

At this point in the conversation the brothers were interrupted by a knock at the door, followed by the announcement that a delegation waited outside. From that time, during the afternoon, delegation followed delegation and there was no op­ portunity for more privacy. Hawkins ex­ cused himself from attending more affairs of state, urging that he should write the account that he wished to cable to the United States as soon as communication was restored, and President Pedro found him a place where he would not be dis­ turbed.

The rejoicing, the merry-making and the celebrating continued until late in the night, and it was 11 o'clock before the naval party left for the seacoast. They were accompanied by the President, who wished to pass the hours before the de­ parture of the fleet with his brother, and soon after midnight the three friends were again seated in the cabin of the Oroya.

The next morning, after farewells had been said, the fleet steamed out of port, bound for Valparaiso. Hawkius accom­ panied the squadron and before he sailed he handed to President Podro a bulky package which he asked might be given to the cable company as soon as wire traffic was resumed. This was the history to date of the wonderful Peruvian fleet and th'-> : ;iking of the British battle-ship Hi ick by the Peru\iau battle-ship

After the First Prize of the War.When the admiral had finished; the cries

were renewed and in response President Pedro stepped from the large chamber that opened on the balcony and added a few words concerning matters of state. And as the brotners stood side by side it was as if two great Inca chiefs nere gr.z- ing across the plaza at the wonderful city of Lima.

It was noon-dav before the President and the admiral could persuade the populace to permit their retiring from the balcony, and only then was it made possible by attention being attrac'cd by the brnd from the flag-ship that marched into view, play­ ing the national anthem.

The reception of the admiral by the Congress was as sincere, if not as demon­ strative, as that accorded by the populace. After a half hour before this body the officers were driven to the executive man­ sion. There they were entertained at luncheon, and when the repast was finish­ ed Admiral Louis and his brother found a few minutes for conversation in the lat- ter's study, the only other person present being Hawkins. who had accompanied the party from the fleet.

"And now, Pedro. what of the morn­ ing?" asked the admiral, when they were seated.

"It has been a busy day. was the re­ ply "First is the matter of the British minister. He applied for his passports. '

"Which of course were granted?""Immediately.""And the Congress?""The Congress approves our action in

every particular. It has empowered me to declare war, should I deem such a course necessary, but I do not think it is.

CHAPTER XII.AT SEA.

ATE in the afternoon of June Mb a small steamship stood off and on near Buena Vista.

There were, perhaps, a score of houses in this settlement, a church and seme office build­ ings; two piery jutted into the

bay a distance that enabled deep-water vessels to come alongside for the loading or discharge of cargo. High promontories completely shut oil the town from north, and south and the topography was such, that those familiar with this history would have at once recognized the place troin description as the former storehouse of the Incas' treasure, even had not the name been mentioned. The gre.it headlands were almost on a level with the mountain peaks that here deviated from the line maintained by the Andean chain and ap­ proached nearer the ocean than at any point on the coast. A glance showed that the promontories could uot be scaled by man, and in this granite maw Buena Vista was secure from invasion except by sea.

The little vessel fteauied slowly and was evidently waiting the arrival of another craft or a signal from shore; probably the former, for a man was stationed at her foretop, something not at all necessary at the distance maintained from laud had communication from the village been look­ ed for. The officer on the bridge had a telescope poised, and glanced through it every few minutes.

She was a trim little craft, having every appearance of being a pleasure boat, for no gun- save a saluting piece could be seen and her build was such as to preclude the possibility of heavy armament. _ Beneath, her counter one couul read in white letters the name of the place near which she cruised. The men on her decks were clad in the uniform peculiar to the Peruvian navv.

The commanding officer was a junior lieutenant, acting as captain. By his side on the bridge was a man of much higher rank, judging from the golden sun on his breast'and the broad bands on his sleeves. His height would have attracted attention anvwhere. being something over six feet, anil his erect figure was cause for marvel, the lines of his face and the white or his hair and beard bespeaking great age. His features were not those of the Inca race; they at once called attention to his being of African descent, but tbe massive forehead and the clear white of the eye told that he was gifted with more intelli­ gence than the majority of those who come from the Dark Continent.

"They should be in sieht within the half hour sir." stud the lieutenant, as two strokes sounded on the little bell amid­ ships; "that i.s, provided they left before noon and have maintained full speed."

"I have no doubt but we will soon sight them," was the reply. "Admiral Louis always carries out his programme unless something unforeseen prevents."

"Were you not loth to leave the islands,sir?" the lieutenant said after a pause,during which he swept the north horizonwith his glass.

"Yes, in a way. but old as I am I would

like to take ->art in some action. But, sir," he added, "are we not steaming out too far? The point of meeting was named as a mile from town and at present I can barely make out the residence of the cap­ tain of the port, which is the largest house of the settlement."

The lieutenant gave a command to the quartermaster, over went the wheel, ground spun the Buena Vista and a minute "-ater they were steaming toward the shore line.The sun at this honr was slowly sinking to the sea and a dazzling path gilded the water between the boat and the segment of the ocean where it seemed as though the fiery planet must plunge.

The Buena Vista had steamed half the distance between the point where she came about and the mainland when the lookout called down from the foretop, "Smoke on the port beam, sir'."

The lieutenant brought the bridge tele­ scope into ranee and the senior officer leveled his marine glass in the direction Indicated.

Another call came from the top. This time is was: "Steamship ahoy, sir!"

Then rapidly these reports were made: "More smoke to port, sir! Bottle-ship

heaving in sight, sir! Build of the Oroya, sir! Others following! They are coming fast, sir!""Shall we steam to meet them, sir.' asked the iunior officer.

"Yes," was the reply, and the Buena Vista's course was altered from due east to a point north by east, bringing the bright sunlight on the port beam.

So rapidlv did the flo->t advance from the north and the small boat steam to meet the arriving vessels that to those on deck of the yacht the Peruvian squadron appeared to rise out of the water, and the effect was like that produced by the lightning photographs of the present day that Mr. Edison has brought forth to amuse and instruct the public.

As three strokes \yere sounded on the bells of all the ships, telling the hour of half past five, the Bueua Vista reached the side of the flag-ship and came to, a cable's length from the vessel. A minute before a signal had caused the screws to be reversed on battle-ships, cruisers and torpedo-boats, and they had come to a stop, each within her own length. The moment the yacht was abreast the Oroya the salute for a vice-admiral rang from her brass pieces and even as the guns were sounding the veteran sailor left the bridge of the Buenn Vista, entered an electric barge that had been let. down from the davits, "and was taken rapidly to the flag-ship. He was met at the rail by Ad miral Louis, who welcomed him heartily and conducting him to the bridge, there presented him to Carey Hawkins. as Vice Admiral Padre.

"How about the British?" queried th new comer.

"An open rupture," was the reply, "with the result that I was compelled to sink the Shamrock."

"I feared this would happen. Louis." "Feared! Why?""Because I would have been there, t<

see and to take part.""Ah. the wounds received on the gunboa

have not yet healed?" "No, and they never will." By this time they were under way again

speeding south and rapidly leaving asterr the little Bnena Vista, which had shape- a course southward, for she was ordere to return to port and coal before returnin to the Chinchas. In a few minutes the were off the place where the treasure ha. been stored for centuries and at that mo ment the sun, a great ball of red, com meneed to bury itself in the sea of green

"It Is an evening like that of year ago," said Admiral Louis, as he glance from the beach to horizon lin°. "Ther is where the old Inca sat by the shore, and he pointed toward a spot between th piers. "I can see him now and hear hi words, as. with his dying breath, he ex acted the final promise from Pedro and me O, rest in your golden tomb, our Inca Could you but waken and view this spec tacle you would realize how near you: life's dream is to fulfillment." and turn ing quickly, the admiral pointed to th great ships that followed even as far a the eye could reach.

As he spoke the Oroya passed the littl settlement and the promontory that guard ed it on the south, then her course wa slightly altered so that the fleet miuh stand further out to sea for the night Within twenty minutes the land had be come a haze in the distance and by thh time darkness was settling over the water

At five bells the two senior officers o the fleet and the newspaper corresponden left the bridge and entered the forwar superstructure, where dinner was soo. served. As they took seats at table. Vie Admiral Padre asked his senior what plan he had formed for the following day. ". Inquire, because, according to my calcula tions, we will he off Valparaiso to-morro" night," he said.

"Between 9 and 10 o'clock," Admira Louis assented. "As my plans are some what elaborate we will review them i detail this evening. I have decided t divide the fleet into two squadrons, th first comprising the Oroya. Payta, Mati cana, Mejillones and Arica. The secou will be formed by the Chorillos, Pise Tambovisa and Chosica. Two torped- boats will be assigned to the first divisio and four to the second. I will take in mediate command of the former, wine will comprise two battle-ships, thrr cruisers and two torpedo-boats; you \vi command the second division, having tw battle-ships, two cruisers and four torped< boats."

"But to change the subject. Padre, di Captain Sinclair appear disappointed at b( ing assigned to the Chinchas. instead o remaining with the fleet'.'"

"He may not like the berth so well, replied the veteran, "but no one can te from his manner and he certainly h;i nothing to say concerning his likes or di. likes in the matter. He undoubtedly rea izes that you have given him a most in portant position of trust, and although h may not see active service, yet there is

ossibility for a desperate struggle where ; is stationed.""Yon are right, Padre. The Chinchas

.ay be attacked anv'day, and when an ttack is made a man of sound judgment nd one who is cool-headed will be needed o direct the repulse. That is why I select- rl Captain Sinclair for commaudante. He ; the most phlegmatic commander in the avy and I believe the best tactician, so ar as land operations are concerned. I hought of sending Captain Heatherton to he Yard, but I noticed, after his diplo- intic encounter with the Britisher, that e was a trifle excited and to leave a per- on of that frame of mind on the islands vould be unwise, the temptation to ad- ance from the base of supplies being the rst that will have to be resisted; and the noment such tactics should be adopted by ur forces the chances of the enemy's suc- ess would be greatly Increased." He pushed back his chair and led the

vay to the bridge, his favorite place when iu deck, for from this raised platform the ength and breadth of the flagship could >e seen, and at night the red and green ights that shone from the vessels of the ollowing fleet. Sailors had strung canvas t the sides of the bridge and in the lee of his, seated on their extension steamer 'hairs, the party from the cabin were not innoyed by the wind which whistled over heir heads.One would have thought a brisk galelowing, for the wind whistled through the

rigging, carried the smoke to leeward inhorizontal lines and tore to shreds the ;team that shrieked from the escape pipes;>ut a glance over the side showed thatthe sea was only ruffled in places, "~hough stirred by an eight-knot breeze."That illustrates better than anything

he speed we are making," said Admiraliarcia, pointing to the funnels' tops.Granting that the breeze from the south,s eight knots, add to it thirty-three, therate at which we are now steaming, andyou will have as a total forty-one knots,or nearly fifty miles an hour as the forcewith which the air strikes the Oroya, orthe Oroya the air. whichever way you maywish to construct the sentence."

"What if we were running into a gale?' Hawkins asked.

"Something would give way unless we slowed down," replied the admiral.

Chatting thus of matters maritime, of ships and the men who go down to sea in them, the Peruvian, the African and the American passed an hour or more, while the iron-c)acls %f the new navy rushed on into the night, toward the place where the enemy was gathered.

And such a night was this into which the steel wedges flew with their arma ments and their armor, to wreak ven geance in the name of a vanquished and downtrodden people!

Did you ever sail at night on the Soutl Pacific when there was not a cloud in th< sky, not a ruffle of the water, save here and there where the light, breeze caught and when the long, undulating rollers, thi palpitations of the greatest of oceans came in from space vand told of turbulenci somewhere? Did you ever, while in thes< waters, lean back in a steamer chair o lie upon the deck and watch the sight: above you, that moved from side to sid< like the pictures of a panorama, as tin ship rolled majestically to the force o the billows?

A long roll to port and there Is Siriu: just above the horizon line a red flan that might be taken for a segment of th(. sun. were it not for absence of rays. A few degrees above, and brousrht into the range of your vision as the ship recovers is the Southern Cross, its four stars a; bright as diamonds; and scattered about a veil over the blue black of night, the glorious milky way, its myriads of silvery atoms sparkling individually, yet bleudin, into translucent streamers.

And seeing this, can men doubt there i a God?

Even the sea bears testimony, asid from its majesty, for, glance over the sidi of a rapidly moving craft in the Soutl Pacific and notice how the waters are peo pled! That bright line of fire along th> side tells the presence of quadrillions o tiny creatures or the deep, that perhap show fight, or anger who knows? at th rough thrusting into their midst of th great mass of steel, and they, the tin; phosphorescent people, shine with a brigh red glow for a foot, or more parallel wit' the ship; and astern, after they ar churned by the powerful screws an stirred by the hull, they :glisten in a broa nath that, as far as the eye can see, mark the road the ship has taken.

This niglir. man added to the grandeur, for, following the Oroya into the night were eight huge black forms, each wit 1 a green eye 011 one side and a red ey on the other, and between them were si little craft, leaping over the rollers as d porpoises, and throwing over their bow spray that turned golden as it fell.

Torpedo-boats, cruisers and battle-ship dashing toward the point where the Sirin glowed and glowered above the horizon as though a signal flare, pointing to th place where war was to be waged!

Lights were out on all ships of the fleet except two on each, the red to starboarc and the green to port, carried by the Peru viaiis in recognition of international law.

Six strokes were rung on the sonorou bell that hnutr amidships on the flag-shi and the sound waves had but died awa when the faint notes from other bells the fleet came over the water.

"It is late." said Admiral Garcla. risinj "the air is growing chill and. Padre, yo and I have much to talk over before w turn in. Suppose we return to the cabin.

They waited, a minute on the bridjj: while'the admiral exchanged a few word with Captain Beausire and the three e tered the forward superstructure. Ther the correspondent seated himself at a des and began work on some manuscript, whil the senior officers of the fleet unrolled large chart, which they placed on a cente table.

It was a chart of Valparaiso harbor, o perhaps it might, better be termed a modr on a plane of the Chilean port, for no only was the depth of water in the ba; noted at various points and the anchorage

narked, but the detail was carried out on he shore line. Thus the blocks of the city ere numbered, the Government buildings uidicated and the foreign consulates noted >y signs. And so the fortifications were narked clearly, and in foot notes were old the number of guns in the coast de- ense and the caliber of each, also their legree of efficiency, whether rifled or mooth bore. It was evident that for some me, and until quite recently, the Peru- ians had an agent at work in the enemy's ;rritory. So recently, indeed, had this vork been revised that the author had narked with crosses where the ships of .he Chilean navy had been at anchor a 'ortnight before and the chances were that hey had not moved since. Thus the spot vhere the famous Admirante Cochrane ould be found was designated, and also he location of the new Blanco Encalada."And that red, white and red mark

:omething like our flag to the west; what Iocs that indicate?" Hawkius overheard Hce Admiral Padre ask."The Huascar rides there," the senior

ifficer replied."You have marked her anchorage especi-

aiy?""Yes. I would rather know her berth iccurately than that of any ship in the larbor. or all of them."

"Why; yon do not intend opening fire >n her, do you?"

"No, sir," emphatically replied Admiral Lrouis. "but I intend cutting her out."

"Before the engagement?""Yes; to-morrow night."

CHAPTER XIII. THE FIRST PRIZE OF THE WAR.

HEN the New York correspond­ ent reached the deck the next morning he was greeted by Ad­ miral Garcia with the exclama­ tion, "Buenas dias! Isn't this a glorious day and a glorious sea for the sun to shine upon?"

For during the night a north wind had sprung up and a stiff breeze from that point of the compass something seldom xperienced in the latitude of Callao, but >f more frequent occurrence off the coast if Chile had brought 'to life waves of dark

green, frosting many of them with foam, so that thousands of white caps danced about, to port, to starboard, ahead and astern. The wind bore down on the ships at about the speed they were making, so that air currents were neutralized and smoke rose straight from the funnels of battle-ships and cruisers, and hardly breath fanned the cheeks of those on deck The waves met the long roll of the Pacific at right angles and a choppy sea was the result."You are just in time." the admiral add ed after his morning greeting. "We are soon to have muster and general quarters.'

"But this is not the first Sunday of the month," said Hawkins. calling to memory the naval regulations with which he was familiar.

"Neither is this the American navy,' Admiral Louis leplied. laughing. "Om regulations prescribe muster -before goin. into action, if possible, and muster on" cer tain feast days. This happens to be both a feast day and a day when we have gooc 1 reason to exnect an engagement. But i' is near two bells, so remain here and b< the first civilian to stand on this bridgi or the bridge of any ship in the navy a such a time."

Turning to Lieutenant Cordero, the ad miral said: "Order quarters and muste' throughout the fleet sir. Great guns to b. brought into position, but. sides and super structures to remain as now."

The lieutenant saluted and turned away A minute later six flags were broken be neath the fore truck, each flag represent ing a word or a sentence of the nava code. At that moment bugles rang out or the Oroya. the martial roll of snare drum; sounded and all became life and action as like echoes, bugle calls and drum rolls ans wered from other ships.

Captain Beansire came on the bridge the navigator relieved the officer of th deck, who reported to his gun station lieutenants, ensigns and cadets hastenec from wardroom and steerage and sailor; swarmed from below. All were in ful dress commissioned officers in black ant gold, non-commissioned officers, sailor: and marines in black and silver. The gok1 en suns on the breasts of Admiral Garci and Vice Admiral Padre told of their hig_ rank; the rank of other officers was de noted by the width of braid on the sleeve and the insignia on coat collars.

The fleet officers stepped to one side for orders concerning the squadron ha been given and executed and Captai. Beausire was charged with carrying ou the detail on the Oroya.

The shrill whistle that Hawkins ha heard three days before was sounded an the immense trap doors three to port, three to starboard and one in the bow- swung open and the great guns commence' to rise slowly to the deck level, wher they were harnessed in tackle and train'm gear and quickly hauled iu position. X huge concave sides were now above th deck line to dwarf these pieces by eon parison; they stood alone and gUstem'. under the sunlight like polished silver When in nlace their muzzles projected a least three feet over the sides, yet be tween the breeches there was barely roon for squads of men to work. Had they bee" hauled back until the muzzles were eve with the sides the breeches would hav touched; so two of the lo-inch guns, stain. ing end to end, would cover the' entir space from port lo starboard, which wa " ,

feet, proving each gun to be 97.3 fee long. And at no place on any gun. froi muzzle to breech, could the tallest man <: the ship's crew place his hand on the toi

Attention was sooa diverted from th cannon to the men, who commenced t move, gun squad after gun squad, towar an open space amidships, where Captai Beausire had taken position upon step leading to the bridge. Each squad wa the size of a company of infantry an numbered sixty men, officered bv a liei tenant and two ensigns. Therefore mor than four hundred sailors gathered uea

heir captain and came to "attention." hen up marched two companies of ma- nes under a lieutenant-colonel and formed

anks behind the gun squads. In the rear if these assembled all the men who could ie spared from below, the engineers and .remen. the coal passers and oilers; the lautrymen and waiters, the stewards and ooks. and the workers in the surgical nd medical divisions for it was general nuster and everybody, save the few kept way "for good of the ship" and those n the sick bay was compelled to attend. iVhen the crew a thousand men in all ind formed according to regulations. Cap- ain Beausire drew forth the articles of var and read so every one could hear the reed of the Peruvian navy and the punish- nent for violation of its charges. While _ did so sailors and marines stood at "at- ention." When he had finished the cap- :airi's clerk handed him a list and the oil call began."Atahnalpa!" This was the first name

nd as the word rang out Captain Beau- ire drew his sword."Present! Arms!" ordered the colonel of

marines."Present! Arms!" commanded the lieu-

:enants to their gun squads.Swords flashed from scabbards, sabers

were lifted to cap visors and rifles were rought to the position prescribed by

manual.Admiral Garcia y Garcia bared his head,

walked slowly from the bridge and took i position among the men. From there ie answered:

"Absent, but accounted for. He is with he heroes."And thus at every muster and roll call

:he name of the greatest of all Incas is he first mentioned and saluted with the ceremony due one of high station.

The call continued, the captain naming (he officers and the latter, in turn, going through the lists of those under their im­ mediate commands. This done, the buglvs and drums sounded the recall, the men ..ere dismissed and the guns sank to their places in the hold.

Hardly had the deck assumed its normal appearance when the flag lieutenant step­ ped up to Admiral Garcia and reported: "The Chosica signals a strange sail on her port bow, sir!"

Those who were on the bridge and heard this announcement turned around and saw that several flags were hoisted to the fore on the battle-ship named. She was at this time on the left wing of the squadron mid the nearest in-shore.

"Order her to give chase and capture the stranger if she proves to be a Chilean," replied the admiral.

Five minutes later the signal for the fleet to heave-to was hoisted, and swinging at will of wind and sea. the ships of the ;quadron waited the result of the chase

by the Chosica. which vessel had steamed due east, 111 order to head off the stranger.

"Admiral Garcia, would this not be an opportune time for me to leave the Oroya and board the Chorillos?" suggested Vice Admiral Pa (Ire.

"Perhaps it would be wise," replied the senior. "I had planned for you to leave during the afternoon, but we shall prob­ ably lose a half hour here and it may be well not to make another stop."

"I will be ready within five minutes," said the veteran, leaving the bridge. As he entered the forward superstructure the boatswain's whistle sounded the call for the admiral's barge, which was at once hoisted out and swung under the lee side.

All vessels of the squadron were at this time rolling gracefully as they lay in the trough of the sea. and the wind, no longer a following breeze, blew the flags straight out from the halyards. It was no easy task for the crew of the little barge to prevent her being caught by the swinging ladder as it was drawn high from water and plunged deep down again by the Oroya's motion, but they were not delayed long by the fleet officer, who appeared on deck almost immediately, accompanied by two servants who carried his luggage. It was a difficult feat for a young man to undertake the boarding of the lutle barge while such a sea was running, but Vice Admiral Padre ran down the ladder, waited for the proper moment, then jump­ ed into the stern sheets of the craft in waiting with a dexerity that surprised Hawkins. His servants had a more ex­ citing time of it, and one that must have been quite nerve-racking for them, as both were soused to the waist by the foaming white cap. and they were hauled into the space amidships by sailors just iu time to save their being swept away. When all were on board the barge darted from the side and danced over the waves toward the Chorillos. which was to become the flag-ship of the second squadron. Ten minutes later the launch disappeared to leeward of the battle-ship that lay about half a mile astern of the Oroya and then a pennant was hoisted to the fore truck, announcing that Vice Admiral Padre had assumed command.

"The Chosica is returning, sir. and she signals the capture of a prize!" reported Lieutenant Cordero.

Admiral Louis and Captain Beausire took marine glasses from shelves on the bridtre and stepping to the port side gazed intent-, ly at the returning Peruvian cruiser and even more intently at the little .craft that was following astern.

"Can you make out her ensign, captain? Isn't it red, white and red?" asked the admiral.

"Yes. sir. There is a large Peruvian en­ sign hoisted over the smaller flag."

"She must be a Chilean man-of-warBeausire. for Captain Biggs would nothave molested a merchantman. And herfunnel, captain, is it not painted yellowV"

"Yes. sir.""Then she must be the I'ilcomnyo Yes

I am certain she is. You remember the little cruiser, do you not, Hawkins? She was at anchor in Callao Bay when war was declared in 1878 and was captured by the Chilenos soon after the Huascar fell into their clutches. -Mr. Cordero " he said to the Hag officer, "signal the vice ad­ miral to send a crew to the prize j llui order her to steam slowly to the north, so as to arrive at Aricu one week from

to-day. We will gladden the hearts of the good people at Arica by the sight of the little Pilcomayo about the time that Callao and Lima will be feasting over the return of the Huascur," the admiral remarked to Hawking.

The orders were given, and whou the I'ilcoinayo crept into the tieet, barges were seen moving between the cruiser and the prize. A half hour later Vice Admiral I'aclre-signaled "all clear," and the flag­ ship ordered, "Thirty-three knots speed ahead: two squadron formation." As the fleet got under way again the red. white and red ensign on the I'ilcomayo was dipped in salute and then her bow was turned toward the north. At this time the vice admiral signaled. "Captain Biggs reports the capture of seventy prisoners or war, which number includes eight com­ missioned officers."

The two-squadron formation now adopt­ ed was that decided upon by Admiral Garcia the evening before, and the second division, under the vice admiral, main­ tained a position to starboard and some­ what astern of the first.

These incidents of the morning over, the day slowly wore away without happenings out of the ordinary. There were no prep­ arations necessary for the impending con­ flict, everything possible having been done lief ore the shins left the Chincha Islands. An expression of anxiety might have been observed upon the faces of some of the younger officers and seamen, but the ma­ jority of the Oroya's crew were veterans of the sea and a man who has fought fo;HU-ci'estcd waves and conquered them is In position to participate toi a war "where powder and shot mingle, without shrink­ ing; and so it always is that sailors under fire for the first time are cooler than are land recruits.

Unusual care was taken with the noon observations. Captain Beausire ordering several ofh'cers to work with the navigator, and when the course was finally pricked olT on the chart it was announced that the fleet would be in the altitude of Valparaiso bv 1!) o'clock that evening.'"I cannot understand why you warned

the foreign men-of-war not to leave Callao bav for three days," said Carey Hawkins to'Admiral Garcia, as they stood watch­ ing the ships late that afternoon. "Noth­ ing that floats could have carried the news ahead of your arrival."

"I know that, Carey," replied the com­ mander-in-chief. "Our purpose was to as­ certain positively the disposition of the foreign commanders, so there could be no doubt as to how we should proceed. They had no reason to believe at the time that the vessels of this navy could steam faster than theirs."

"V.'as not communication by wire to be nvtored after three days?" Hawkius then asked."Yes."

"This is the third day; will not the news reach Valparaiso this afternoon?"

"Xo; trallic was restored at noon to-day. hut tlr're will be a strict censorship and nothing except commercial messages, written in Spanish or English, will be al­ lowed over the wires until to-morrow moiiiing."

"What about the dispatches I left with redroV"

"Don't worry about them," assured the admiral. "They will be put on the cable to-night, so as to icacli your newspaper in time for publication in the morning and that publication will be the first an­ nouncement to the outside wold of the events below the equator. Perhaps the first intimation to Chile of what has hap­ pened will be the query that her minister at Washington or her consul-general at New York will send after reading what you wrote day before yesterday in Lima."

The afternoon dragged for both the eom- niamU'r-iu-chlef and the newspaper corres­ pondent. The previous days had been so replete with events of a stirring nature and there was so much about to happen that the monotony of inactivity was op­ pressive; so the occupants of the cabin were glad when the sun commenced to s:nk below the horizon and the officers of the ward-room shared their feelings.

When the evening was advanced Captain I'.eausire ordered careful observations, and officers read the star angles through sextants while others computed the logarithms from this reading. An hour later it was by this time nearly 10 o'clock the stars were again called upon to furnish information and when the results of calculations were compared, Captain Beausire announced to Admiral Garcia y Garcia: "Sir. 1 have the honor to report that we are in latitude 33-22 and longitude

"Directly opposite Valparaiso and about thirty miles distant!" exclaimed the ad­ miral. "Mr. Cordero, signal the fleet to heave-to."

The lights that carried these orders over the waters were soon flashing from the tube that led from the wheel-house, and in the distance repeating lights could be seen above the vice admiral's flag-ship.

As soon as the Oroya was hove to and rolling in the trough of the. almost calm sea for the wind of the morning and the early afternoon had died away--orders were given the flag lieutenant to summon the vice admiral and the commanding offi­ cers of all the vessels of the two squad­ rons to board the Oroya for a council of war.

Within twenty minutes the reception room of Admiral Garcia's suite was thronged, three captains of battle-ships, five captains of cruisers and six com­ manders of torpedo-boats having responded to the summons. There were also present the commander-in-chief, the vice admiral. Captain Beausire of the Oroya. Lieutenant Cordero and Ensign Romero, the admiral's secretary nineteen officers in all. They were magnificent types of manhood and not only were the leading nations of the modern world represented in this council, but men were there the lines of whose faces spoke of ancient history's times. Standing near the upright piano, that gave such an effect of a dilettante's apartment to Admiral Garcia's cabin, was a tall, handsome Greek, Captain Detnetrio, coni- inander of the cruiser Matucana. He was engaged iii conversation with Captain

Olsen of the Tambovisa. a Scandinavian, whose massive shoulders, hair almost gold­ en and eyes of blue, spoke of the time of Eric the Bold. The United States was represented by Captain Biggs of the Chosica: Germany by Captain Paschall of the Chorillos. and Prance by Captain Beausire. With the exception of the commander-in-chief. Peru had but two representatives present. Captain Kodriguez of the Payta and Commander Sedallio of the torpedo-boat Anita. Even the Emerald Isle had a son high in power in this new Peruvian navy, Commander Crane being -in attendance at this conference by virtue of his position on the torpedo-boa't Maria. The gold upon the black uniforms of those in the cabin shone brilliantly under the electric lights that illuminated the room. For a few minutes the officers talked with one another concerning the events of the last few days, then there was silence as Admiral Garcia y Garcia stepped forward.

"Sirs," said he, "I have summoned you for the purpose of instruction, also to seek counsel from many minds concerning a matter that I wish acted upon this night, and to compliment you all upon the effici­ ent manner in which you have handled your ships since we left the Chinchas."

AS tne commander-in-chief :><htressed the officers of the navy the American news­ paper correspondent, who had been ad­ mitted to this, as to other conferences, re­ marked that his friend towered above all in the room, both mentally and .physicallv; and while watching the descendant of the greatest of all Incas he called to mind the legends that told of marvelous deeds by this once powerful race and was, convinced they bore more truth than fiction.

The officers had saluted when the word* of praise were uttered and the admiral continued: "We will take the Chileans by- surprise in the morning. I shall at once demand an unconditional surrender, which will probably be refused. As the resultant battle will undoubtedly lie fought in the bay and shells may fall' in the town. I shall give twelve hours' notice before opening lire. A combined Chilean and British fleet will in all probability be opposed to us. for l<.ng before sunset to-morrow the English will have learned what has occurred. There is but one laive battle-ship in Valparaiso at present. She flies the cross of St. George. With her are two cruisers,

Archie at length turned toward the of­ ficers.

"Did either of you find Mr. Pemberley's body?" he asked.

"Xo, sir," was the reply of one of the of­ ficers. "But I was called to the spot of the murder very soon after Policeman D found the body.'

"He was stabbed, ,1 believe.""Yes. sir. with a long, thin knife." ."Where Is the knife?""At Police Station. It is to be

shaking his head, "not by any means, sir."Archie spoke eagerly and quickly:

one of the first class, the other of the second. Our navy is of course vastly superior to these fleets and victory should be quickly and easily won. But the in­ structions I wish to impress upon you, sirs, are: Keep a careful lookout for the enemy's torpedoes and tire low, so as to destroy hulls and spare human life as much as possible. In this respect imitate Captain Heathertou's attack on the Sham­ rock.

"And now, sirs, I seek counsel. Lying in flve fathoms of water in Valparaiso Bay is the Huascar. Her exact anchorage is marked upon the chart that hangs yonder on the wall. We are thirty knots from there. I would have this vessel captured to-night without a spar on her being riddled by shot and with as little loss of life as possibe, so that she may be- brought into our fleet and steam with us to-morrow when we .enter Valparaiso Bay, even as she steamed in mockery before Callao years ago, flying the lone star flag from her gaff.

"has such nerve. She fairly bubbles over with high spirits."

"I know it. She gets it from Josiah's side of the house, though. My folks are all strong temperance people."

"Was it like a foreign dirk or stilletto? You know what I mean, do you not?"

"Oh. yes. sir," answered the man, who was a very intelligent fellow. "I know perfectly well."

He turned to his companion, and spoke to him for a brief while in low tones. Tao officer thus addressed drew a small piece of paper from his inner pocket. His asso­ ciate handed this paper to Archie, saying:

"That was the name, sir. engraved on the blade cf the knife found in the poor gentleman's breast. You see for yourself, sir, that it's a foreign name. I can't pro­ nounce it. but you can read for yourself."

A cry of dismay, not unmixed with actual joy. left Archie's lips as he; took the paper and swept his eyes over the inscribed name. It was "Luigi Centi."

After he had plunged the knife Into Pemberley's breast, that same night. Cent! had fled with his best speed for several blocks. He was horrified at his own deed, though he was not. of course, sure as to its fatal result.

The man was an arrant coward, as we have already seen. He had been prowling about his own residence, after his escape of the morning, with the desire, if not the actual design, of entering it and securing some few valuable articles which he wished to take with him in his purposed flight.

But he had feared to enter, lest the of­ ficers who had come to arrest him that morning might have laid some trap there for his capture.

In this way. while hesitating, doubting, now clinching his resolve and now abaudon-

{ ing it. after the manner of all true cow­ ards, he had encountered Roy Pemberley, the man whom he most craved to meet, but whom he had been thus far afraid openly to visit.

It was not until he had gone a consider­ able distance from the scene of his mur­ derous deed that he remembered the name engraven on the blade of his stiletto. He had been a creature who had cause to fear the law iu his own native Italy; he had left that country and come to our shores for this very reason; and af­ ter having arrived here a pet fond­ ness for the weapon which'he had formerly carried on his person with the most hostile

intent, had made him adopt the caprice of engraving along its blade with his own deft fingers the new name assumed since his exile.

This recollection added a fresh terror to the Italian's craven soul. He paused iu the street, and though it was a chilly night, the beads of sweat literally rolled from his swarthy, thin face.

Half the day he had dodged and cow- el ed, dreading every instant the signifi- cr.nt grasp upon the shoulder, the fateful arrest, the cold feeling of the handcuffs about his wrists. He had feared to leave the city as yet, thinking that spies might be placed at its principal exits, whether of boat or railway car.

He felt certain that the search for him had not yet been abandoned.

And now v new cause of fright had risen to torture hrs. dastardly being. The blow had been given not as a brave man gives a blow, but with the wild impulse of a coward when beset by one whom he knows to be full of destructive intent.

He shivered. His teeth clicked together vith an audible sound; he felt as if he .night have sealed his own death warrant as if, provided Roy Pemberley should die, tie must have done so.

"Oh, what shall I do?" he whimpered to himself, pitiably, in, his own iiatiye ton­ gue. "Where shall I go? They will surely find me out now. They cannot help but do it. They "Just then a man sprang from the shadow

of the street and seized his arm.Luigi Ceuti sank, paralyzed with terror,

upon the pavement beneath him. The man, still grasping his arm. stooped over him, . uid scanned his face keenly in the vague amp light. This latter personage was a

policeman, garbed iu the usual dress of a light patrolman."I'll bet a dollar you're him," said the

nan, who was of lofty stature ahd twice the weight of the Italian.

"I see you scootin' off from Sixth street :here, and just followed yer. I was told :o keep an eye on that Sixth street house. They said they didn't think you'd come jack, but still there was a chance. I was ;wo blocks away when you run past me. But they give me a full description of your face and figure. I'm biowed if I don't be­ lieve you're the very man the fellow that robbed Tiffany, as they think, o' them wery walable di'mouds. Coiue now, own up. Ain't ye him? Ain't ye that Italian they're after? Heh, hen?"

The policeman shook Luigi's slim frame vigorously with both hands as he uttered the above uncouth words.

Lnigi scarcely heard a Word of their real import. He was too demoralized with terror. The tears now streamed from his eyes, as the sweat was rolling from his face. He clasped both iiauds together and jabbered, at first, a wild supplication for mercy in his native tongue.

Then, as if a gleam of real reason had pierced through the tumult and confusion of his fright-maddened mind, he spoke iii English. But every word that he spoke was of a sort to bring the most damning evidence against himself.

"I I did not steal the diamonds," he gasped. "No! no! At least, not at first. 1 picked Roy Pemberley's pocket of them afterward. I acknowledge that. And I made the necklace. Well, that was not much. Basta! Every man has his price. Oh, let me go! Good, kind officer, let me go! Look you! I'll give you two hundred dollars if you do. I've got that sum here. And I didn't mean to kill Roy Pember­ ley jus/t now. I only stabbed him be- ca'use Ue wanted to kill me. That was all! 1 swear that was all. I hope I haven't Killed him. They'll hang me if I have: they'll say it was murder. And it was not murder no, no. no!"

H-re the wretched man burst into a pas­ sionate flood of weeping, and wrung his hands in an agony of weak, womanish

The "officer had heard every syllable of this impetuous confession. A few minutes later Luigi felt a pair of handcuffs put their steely circles round his wrist. Then he Was pulled upward from his crouching posture, and. though faint with terror, dragged onward through the deserted streets.

He had already told enough to arouse the gravest suspicions in the officer, who shortly after surrendered him to the proper authorities.

But an hour had not passed before he had confessed, trembling, sweating, grov­ eling upon his knees, what was of even weightier import still.

He was temporarily delirious. Fear had made him so. Possessed of an immense shrewdness, knowing sleight-of-hand like a veritable wizard, having the secret of imitating precious stones as scarcely an­ other living man could do, Luigi Centi, the clever Italian, the man who had been Roy Pemberley's trusted accomplice and had goaded him into the commission of a great crime was nevertheless saved from being a successful villain by one mighty and con­ temptible fact.

i8 SPORTING LIFE. October 3, 1903.

Ho was a coward. And even now, when a little coolness and audacity might have saved him. his toward!- e proved his own avenger.

That night, or. rather, that, morning, for It was already dawn, he told the listening men who were grouped about him in the police station whither he had been brought, the whole dark and detestable story of his collusion with Koy Pemberley.

And again and again he mentioned the name of Thorokl Cliffe. Those who heard him looked at each other and exchanged meaning glances. The story of Thorold's accusation was not unknown to them. The newspapers had teemed with It since the Manhattan wedding.

And this shivering coward, in his horror, his alarm, his abject suppliance, wiped away every shadow of blame from the name of Thorold Cliffe.

At least ten witnesses employes and functionaries of the police station heard every word that he uttered.

And. shortly afterward, news of Pern- berley's murder was brought to that same establishment. '

Luigi Cent! had sealed his own doom.A little later that same day, when his

frightened delirium, had faded into a calmer mood, he strove to retract what be had before said in the feverish anguish of bis mortal fear.

But it was of no avail. Every word he bad spofeen had been remembered.

He was indicted for murder, and ordered to await his trial.

CHAPTER XXVII. CONCLUSION.

HE horrifying news of Roy Pern- berley's murder had no sooner burst upon the ears of startled society, than another bit of tid­ ings, still more shocking, caused a thrill of dismay.

Natiea Charlemont and Count de Champcey had been discovered by th(^ coachman, who bad driven them for blocks and block's at the order of the latter, ly­ ing side by side in the carriage which they had entered on leaving Mrs. Charlemout's residence, and. both dead.

Natiea bore about her throat certain purplish marks, which spoke with undeni­ able evidence of strangulation.

The Count de Champcey had died even a more terrible death. A small pocket- pistol was found within his clinched hand. Through the base of his brain was a dead­ ly wound, caused, beyond doubt, by the muzzle of the pistol having been intro­ duced within his mouth.

Of course, as may most naturally be sup­ posed, the suicide of the count, the death o" Natiea, and the murder of Roy Pem­ berley, were all traced to one source by gossips, commentators, and scandal­ mongers.

Then came the news of Luigi Centi's con­ fession, which threw distinct light on everything.

After this came public talk. Thorold, at Archie's advice, revealed himself, forsak­ ing his disguise and awaiting arrest, if such were indeed to come.

It did not come. Thorold stood exoner­ ated before the world. More than this, he who had yesterday been looked upon as a branded man, was now regarded al­ most in the light of a hero.

Congratulations thronged upon him. Peo­ ple who had before rather disdained the (struggling young artist, now treated him with marked civility. As a natural result, his brilliant talents as a painter which we have already heard Archie praise were discovered and appreciated.

Several very large sums were paid him for two unsold paintings. He had three remaining, all of which were as original in conception as they were unique in design. These very qualities had prevented, thus far, the recognition of his real genius. The world, as we all know, is slow to appreci­ ate anything absolutely new.

These three remaining pictures Thorold sold for an enormous price. He could him­ self scarcely realize the amount of the sum received for them, until he held it positively within his possession, and felt how it alone, even if he never made an­ other penny through all his professional career, would render himself and Genevieve happy for life.

In the midst of the scandal for this inevitably followed Thorold's marriage to Genevieve was made public. Of course, fresh food for gossip was thus afforded.

But Thorold and his young wife easily braved the last assault of popular com­ ment. Poor Genevieve had already been called upon to bear so much that she had grown, in a manner, used to the glaring light of social criticism.

The sale of Thorold's pictures brought competence, if not luxury, to the wedded p;wr. Stimulated by his altered fate, inorold began to paint with renewed energy. Having already achieved fame his career thenceforward was one com­ pletely shorn of difficulty. For all that he did he found ready buyers. And all that he did continued to show that heretofore he had been a neglected genius-one of those painters who has too much talent for the world of men to indorse and pat­ ronize it until a certain select few have condescended to discover and make it the fashion.

The trial of Luigi Cent! resulted in his conviction. There was the evidence of his own confession, and this evidence was thought so conclusive that his trial lasted but one day. resulting in his condemnation for murder in the first degree.

The sentence of the law eventually was carried out. Luigi behaved on the scaffold like the complete coward that he realiv was. But he was hanged for the murde'r of Roy Pemberley. .and his execution ex­ cited no sympathy whatever in the minds of those who heard of his death.

Thorold and Genevieve have now retired form the world of society. Neither cares for its hollow and flippant pleasures. Each Is too absorbed in the other to desire the least change from domestic comfort to the false glitter and splendor of modern fash­ ionable life.

But we are sure that the reader would

care to know something more of the hero of this tale, and we regret that we have not more to give of him.

Archie is still unmarried. He- is still the devoted friend of Thorold and Gen­ evieve. He visit* them constantly, and not long ago stood godfather while his jocund, boyish face dimpled with sup­ pressed good-humor to the first-born child. whom they named, "Archibald Lyndon Cliffe."

Genevievo's aunt, Mrs. Cavendish, resides witli her. Peace has fallen upon this hap­ py household. All Genevieve's troubles are a phantom-like memory of -the past. Archie sometimes says:

"I shall marry one of these days, and be as happy, Thorold and Genevieve, as you both are to-day; at least, I hope so, I begin to feel like settling down."

But this is doubtful. With his merry manner, his shrewd mind, and his won- drously acute intelligence, it is most prob­ able that Archie Lyudon will always re­ main the Society Detective.

ABOUT MEN AND AFFAIRS IN THE WORLD OF BILLIARDS.

TAI John CreaJian.It Is now going the rounds in this city

that Col. John I. Rogers, the well-known lawyer and base ball magnate, is one of the promoters, backers and owners of a new billiard and bowling plant, which is shortly to be opened in this city. As I scoffed at the idea, as it was "reliably" given to me, there was indignant surprise that I would question the veracity of "Col. Rogers' enterprise in embarking in so profitable an undertaking." One of the very many things which most of us do not know at the present day is, that very many of us know some few things which others do not, or which we are not general­ ly supposed to know. It is not generally known, for instance, that a professional billiard man of more than forty years' ac­ tive experience in the business as a pro­ fessional and room keeper, has never yet seen a game of base ball played, and yet, strange as it may seem, I have personally known Col. Rogers for nearly forty years; I have been more than well acquainted with him for probably thirty-five years, while both of us have probably been members of the Catholic Club of this city during the past generation or more.

Whatever else Col. Rogers may be, not even an idiot should be sufficiently idiotic as to take him for a fool. It is my person­ al opinion that Mr. Rogers is not only one of the brightest men in this city, but as a business man probably one of the most suc­ cessful. In his professional career as a lawyer he stands high and ranks honorably. As a magnate in the base ball world it is to be doubted if he has his superior. He is a stockholder in "The Sporting Life," which fact alone should make me familiar with the character of the man, although, as already stated, I knew him personally and well long before the "Life" became familiar to its readers, and long before it was even dreamed that the "Life" would be the sporting paper of the masses in this country, which it is to-day. In say­ ing this I have no desire or wish to flat­ ter the career of the "Life," which to me would be rather repugnant, if not in bad taste. As a public journal it covers its own field in base ball, billiards and gun­ ning. In billiards it has more than its equal in "The Weekly Billiardist," publish­ ed and edited by Benjamin Garno. In gun­ ning matters it may have an equal in other honorable papers. As a base ball journal, which it professes to be, its financial suc­ cess is its best answer.

While Mr. Rogers is a man who la more than capable of doing his own thinking, especially in business matters, and what a libel he would be on his profession as a lawyer were he not such; I cannot but think that were he to embark even in the bowling business that he would consult me. It is almost certain that he would do so were bowling and billiards to come un­ der the same plant. I have probably used the name of Mr. Rogers in this article more freely than I should, and as such I feel as if I owed him an apology, which I make now and here. At the same time, Mr. Rogers has been so long connected and identified with base ball that I can well understand why his name should be asso­ ciated with other enterprises of to-day, such as I have referred to, but which, in my opinion, are without foundation.

Painters, fresco painters, and designers in fancy decorations generally, have been at work in Sol Atllnger's room for nearly a month past; with a result that while this room is not the largest, it is probably one of the finest in the country. Mr. Al- liuger is a man who learns as he lives; and we strongly suspect in wisdom. Having grown tired of spending five or six hundred dollars every year or two for carpeting his billiard room floor in order that it might look "nice" for about thirty days, he has now covered the floor of his room with cork carpet, such as is in use in the billiard room of Green's Hotel and in Mussey's room, Chicago. It is entirely safe to predict that M-r. - Allinger will not be obliged to renew this carpet during the next ten years, and by that time it is prob­ able that Mr. Alliuger will own so much real estate in this city that he may find it convenient to renew the carpet, if only

to keep up the prosperity in his billiard room: for while real estate does not often run away if the taxes are paid, yet then- are times when the revenue from it is bard to find.

I am more than glad to learn that John McCabe is managing an up-to\vii room in this city, and that his physical condition is such that the room which he manages will be one of the best conducted here or elsewhere. Mr. McCabe belongs to the old school of room keepers, and when he is physically well he has no superior in his line in the business.

Buy nothing but the best, is a safe rule to follow in billiards as in everything else. Yet I am informed than an up-town room, Which was but recently furnished with the modern six-legged tables of the Phster style has so far been a dead failure, while the bowling attached to the same place is a marked success. This is not the fault of having purchased the best goods on the market, but the impudence in put­ ting billiard tables of any make or de­ scription in a location which, while all right for bowling, is all wrong for bil­ liards. There is always an element of gentility about billiard players, which does not apply as a rule to bowlers pure and simple. Billiard players may and do fre­ quent certain places where bowling and .billiards are combined, but the location must be as a rule "respectable," if not above question. The failure of the present room which I refer to is probably owing to the fact that billiard players are vastly more punctilious than the owners had any idea of. I referred recently to the prac­ tical collapse'of a "billiard room" on Arch street, where bowling has been such a suc­ cess that the place is now to be enlarged to the extent of another floor, providing the tenants in the same bui'ding permit it. Yet it is safe to say that a billiard room pure and simple on the same floor would not do enough business to pay for the chalk, and yet the neighborhood is one of the most aristocratic in this city. The billiard room referred to here is on the eighth floor.

I have seen no reference, not even in the theatrical journals, of the death of Mrs. M. A. Garrcttson. which took place in this city recently. It is to be doubted if so little was ever before known of a woman who played so prominent a part in the theatrical world in her day in this city as she. Forty years ago, or early in the sixties. Mrs. Garrcttson was the lessee of the Walnut Street Theatre, when Mrs. John Drew had the Arch Street Theatre and Grover and Sinn the Chestnut Street Theatre. Those three theatres were then the leading theatrical establishments of this city: the Walnut Street house was probably the best paying property of the three. All were theatres with stock com­ panies, which supported stars from week to week, and more real dramatic art could be seen there in a night at any one of them than at any dozen of our theatres in three months at the present day. Mrs. Garrettson had her theatre during the War of the Rebellion, but wisely abandoned it in time to save the fortune which she then made. It has been stated by theatrical people that her business was such that she sent her money to the bank each day in a carpet bag. During all of these years Mrs. Garrettson has lived in this city prac­ tically unknown, although the quiet, un­ assuming "woman in black" could be seen on the street occasionally, but always soli­ tary and alone. 1 was informed mr/re than a generation ago that Mrs. Garrettsou's constant dread was of death not neces­ sarily of death itself, but of dying alone or solitary: as she practically seemed' to have no relatives, although it was rumored that she had a sister. The quiet dignity of the woman is what is to be admired, although that was not foreign to theatrical women of her day. Mrs. Garrettson is said to have left an estate of $200,000. It is about time that her "alleged" relatives should make their appearance, although so far such has not been the case, which seems .to be as great a mystery as the life of the woman who passed away.

Professional billiards in the Northwest has opened for the season, while Thomas Foley's amateur colts have already donned their war paint. After the close of base ball we hope to be able to do justice to the enterprising men who are> so early work­ ing in the interest of billiards.

Indianapolis. Incl., Sept. 26.-Editor "Sporting Life:" The dedication tourna­ ment given by the ludiauapolls Gun Club

was held here September 22, 23 and 24, and was one of the most successful metis of the season. Over oue hundred shooters were attracted, among them many famous shots. The Ideal weather and perfect shooting conditions made pleasant sport for all, con­ sequently scores ran high. The manufacturers' agents

shot for price of targets oiilv, and stood at 16 yards. The amateurs were handi­ capped from 16 to 19 yards

W. «. Crosbr

find shot for the money.The first two days were devoted to flying

targets, u total of 200 shots each day. The regular events 4. 8 and 12 each day, a total of fifty shots, or a grand total of 100 for the two days counted for the English Hotel Cup, emblematic of the amateur championship of the States of Indiana, Ohio, Michigan. Illinois and Kentucky.

On the opc'iiin? day C. O. Le Coiupte started like a winner by breaking his fifty straight for the trophy, but on the next

day he fell off somewhat. The winner proved to be <;co. Uoll, of Blue Island, 111., who had a great race with A. C. Connor, of I'ekln, III. These two tied on 08 out of 100. They shot off the tie at 2r> tar­ gets, each scored 24. A second shoot off gave Koll the victory by breaking 24 to Connor's 23.

For the first day's events of 200 shots Crosby led In 1B5 out of 200, with the first 70 straight. Le Compte

C. At. Powers

led the amateurs with 192 from 18 yards. Powers broke 190 from 11) yards, which was better than some of the professionals at 10 yards.

On the second day Hlrsehy made top score, breaking 190 out of 200. Crosby broke 193. Powers again led the amateurs, with 190, which was clever work from 19 yards. For both days Powers led the amateurs with a score of 380 out of 400, an average of 9o per cent., and from a handicap distance.

W. U. Crosby led the experts for the $50 high average purse, breaking 388 out of 10D. Hlrsehy 387. Heer 380, Budd 379, Helkes and Gilbert 378 each.

On the third day live sparrows were shot and the entry list was so large that only five events were finished, a total of 70

birds. Crosby. Snyder, "Snipe" and Stlllwell were tied on 67 out of 70. In the shoot off at 15 sparrows Crosby killed straight an<] his opponents each grassed 14. It looked at first as though Max Stilwell, of Crawfordsville, would win without a tie, but his last bird in the 100 escaped his aim and he was left in the tie.

Felix, John Morris or C. K. Knight fall to have a match of some kind.

In this last contest live sparrows were used and they were a busy lot of flyers, too. Each man shot at 50 sparrows, 25 yards' rise, with 15-yrd boundary. Muller won on a score of 30, which was cousiderei pretty fair shooting, as the birds wen fresh and lively. Knight killed 20, and at times caused Muller some uneasiness. The misses usually came in bunches, and threi or four would esiape In succession.

A match was also shot at 25 sparrows for $50 a side, between J. Murphy anc John Johnson. Only 17 birds were shot at and at the end of this round Murphy hat killed 13 to Johnson's 3, and the match was called off and Murphy declared th winner. The scores follow:

THE BASS FISHING SEASON.

The bass tailing on the Upper Delaware River has been rather disappointing this season, owing to continued muddy condi­ tion of the water. A fe<v days of good bass fishing would be followed by a heavy rain, which would spoil all hopes of sport for a week or ten days. Perhaps before the stream was fairly clear another storm would send down Its muddy deposit. Those who were able to take advantage of the good (lays and lived near the stream found plenty of fish whenever the condition was propitious. Those who took the journey to the North Branch of the Susquehenna, above Wilkesbarre, found most excellent fishlug, and the stream \vas In good con­ dition most of the summer. Those posted on black bass Ilshing rlai,n that September and the first prut of October Is undoubted­ ly the best season ef the year. The streams are more likely to be clear and low; the tish are found in the deeper channels, and take the bait much more freely. In Octo­ ber bass often take live bait in a ravenous manner, and are not very particular as to the kind it is. The stone cattish will con­ tinue to be the best bait for bass In the rivers, and crawlish, minnows, frogs and grasshoppers will often be used with suc­ cess at this season of the year.

HUNTING IN PAIRMOUNT PARK.

V Native of Italy Bags a Squirrel or Fcrbiddcn Grounds.

Armed with an o'd rusty fowling piece, i'ignor ICiuumic!, not long since of Naples, Itiilv, left his home at 012 Montgomery avenue, on Sunday last, and sallied forth into the deep woods along the SchuylKiH in search of Ha game.

The young Neapolitan cannot read Eng­ lish, which is an explanation of, but not an excuse for, his ignorance of the Penn­ sylvania game laws and his disregard for the signs forbidding firearms within the limits of Fiilrmotint I'ark.

He had not gone far when a trusting litlle gray squirrel capered across his path. The fowling piece was used, and the Signor delightedly bagged his game.

The message of death to the confiding squirrel had been heard by an avenger, and a few moments later Signor Kmamicl was taking long strides toward the Sedge- ley Guard bouse, with the lined of a guard firmly clutching his collar. An interpreter was summoned, and when Magistrate O'Brien arrived Signor told, with a great splutter of Italian, how he had many times seen squirrels In the Park, and thought he would just shoot a few for his Sunday supper.

"Thirty days In the House of Correc­ tion," said the Magistrate, and the cur. and squirrel were confiscated. "Philadel­ phia North American."

The advantage of the superior velocity of his choke-bore and the enlarged killing cir­ cle produced by the spreader both con­ tribute toward success, and the same gun, by a cliange of cartridges, Is adapted to the conditions presented.

The Hummer has been on the market several years, and has received the Indorse­ ment of a host of shooters.
