There is liktly, however, tJ be a change, now that the Crescent City team will meet more powerful teanis than herluto optX'nent, Mobile. Memphis is a very close second end Nashville a good third. The other three chihs, Savannah, Charles- ton and Mobile, have shown decided weakness, and are straggling along in the rear in the order n^mc<l. The record below is up to April 26, inclusive: CLUBS.

The visitors presented Emslie in the box for the first time, and he proved a puzzler to the Nashville team, six of them failing to find his curves for a single hit. The fortunate ones were Clinton, Reeder and Mathias. Reilly WDS replaced at short by Peltz, after several er- rors, and went to centre field where ho played an excellent game. The visitors had no dif- ficulty in solving Coroorsn's delivery and batted him hard and at opportune times. THtf SCORE: ITASHVILI.E.AB.R. B. P. A. E;S\VANNAH. AB.H. B. P.

DEXTER vs. HASTINGS AT DE.NYEU APRIL 21. The opening of the Western League cham- pionship in thfs city between the locaUearn and the nine from Hastings was anything hut favor- able, owing to tho fearful condition of the weather. It was not only excessively cold but a high wind, almost bordering on a hurricane, prevailed during the afternoon. The attendance was very Email, only three hundred people being present. The contcs-t was too one-sided to bo of much interest, although the batting of ;the home team was tremendous. IHE SCOKK: DENVER. AB.R.B. P. A.E| HASTINGS. AB.B.B. P.

Disposed to Push it Against tlie Advice of His Friends A Chat With a Veternii Um- pire Heminificeuees of the Long Ago Brief News Notes. CINCINNATI, April 27. Editor SPORTING LIFE: From the proud position of leaders in the Association race the Cincinnati^ stumbled over St. Louis yesterday and dropped below Brooklyn into the place tlint team hud occupied "for a week. If the Reds can do as wf 11 in Louisville as they did in the Mound City they will be ful- filling the expectations of thuir admirers here. Two games were all that Manner Gus fichmelz had set his heart on winning from the worlJ'j champions and when I asked Mm how many he would like to win from the Fulls City crew, up went two of his fingers. By "breaking even" on this trip and the ones to come, Cincinnati will h;ive an opportunity of making the tight for the pennant decidedly interesting for all corners who aspire to win it. I was rather surprised to read of th^way the Apaches 3 ?aJpedourHhea a great denl more thin I was at the outcome of the sec- ond gauio Tony Mullnne pitched. The Reds' two victories over Von der Abe's band of savages were due to their magnificent folding more than to their slugging abilities. Look at the way ''Our Tony" was touched up in both games he officiated! It was only the stone-wall work of his support that eaved the first game from being a defeat. In tho initial game lost by the Reds every one of the sis. runs made by the Apaches was due in some way to Mullane's play. A wild throw assisted in giving them three, two bases on balls resulted in presents of as m:tny more tallies and a wild pitch advanced a man the base necessary for getting in the last run of the game. Ever since I saw Tony give Louisville a victory here last year by forcing in the ticing and winning runs in sending mea to their buses on balls my confidence in his prowess as a twirlcr has rot been great. It suf- fered such a shock then that time has not en tirely eradicated its effects. I ana afraid the public will soon euflcr another attack of "Mul- lane's record/' and for the revival of the history one cl th« disgraceful page; in the records of ba-'o ball Tony will, himself, bo responsible. After the celebrated Brooklyn-Cincinnati game on Jime 4 last, when Byrne's men made twelve runs off Tony in the eighth and ninth innings, earning ten of them and scoring a victory 12 to 7 there were broad hints of loose work and Tony was lambasted by every paper in Cincinnati. The Time*- frYur liomk'ii it* account "Tony, the Traitor," aud de- clared that the c)u<.V Mit-pieiuus of Toi y'» queer work wtrp Ktrevjtthcmd by ilm lo-ult of that jruine.

Tony Mu lano appeared in the Itox tor the Ri*d Stockings, and for seven innings the Bto-fKlyns were enable to score a run, while the CiiirioLatw tallied teveu. Suddenly In tho tighth intiiug Mullane shewed to go nil to pieces. The strttngtfct part of the whole affair WHS Byrne's extreme anxiety about Wultaup. It WHS principally through his t*mte:Lvu:.i thiii tho great Tony was induced to pitch. A nether suspension might do Mr. UuUau- aonie go'-d." fcihurily afterwards Cairo tl<o Enquirer's startling story of Mullaijo'e allegt.il 'Sell-out."

Out on Spring Gr»vf avenue, in that boronpihknown as Cumtjiinsvilu the homo of IVcliiney m.d Crowull, ChiveLtn'i's yuuup piichers, and* tbe town in which D -ry Liea't, a plit-nouu-tial of the '70.", claimed resi deLc; a co/.y little pboiugr;tp!ier*ti car attract* the at- tention of paeaera-by. The knight of the c«nr ra who b ddi luii 'a tb ere in bas been all ovtr this land. Bate biil ciithi:s;arft8 of ye*rs gone by would recognize in him OL.O of tho voteian uuij*irefl of the country, a nmn wtiose voice rang out in cl* ar cut dtcUiona on tho diamond when UJG national game wat iu its in'ancy. I Bponta hull hour very plc«santly in Mr. John K. lir«<ka«ay'8 Krtf^ry-OQ-whpels a few afternoons ago, and from bis life I heard ninny tuddotita of base bull life in Cincinnati before the famous tour of the K< d.-, in '09. I tbin!(, in fact I know, that ho and Giandpu Cbadwick can shake hands on tlie question of the treatment of umpires. It sf r-mcd a qtieer coiocidt-nce to rtad the sentiaieuta of tha veteran in this week'u SPORTING LIFE, a day or two alter ilr. Brockaway bad avowed tmbtilautially the sitme thing tome. "During the entire time I acted aa umpire I was only iipp; cached once and asked to Javor one club over the other, and the propositiou caruo fr-»m a source too litile to resent," be remarked to mo. "I don't believe in this v ay tho UHWspnpcrs have of roaat- iiig au umiiire for bis bad decisions. His ir, a trying position at best, aod from hin de- cibiuu there is no appoal. It fa final, and what good does it do to pour out cemuro or iitru-it? My idea would bo for rofOMeruto ignore the umpire in accounts of pimcs as they do in cricket. You never see tin; nume of the umpire figure in tbe report uf a cricket match. A model umpire needs as much practice aw any player In a team. On tlie field he haa everybody agaiuet him willing and ready to trick him at every point, Wbeii I was a lad I u-*)d to play btill on Long Island. I tbink it was about iu 1806 when the game was introduced here. At that time about the only people who tn.lerstood it outside of the collnge bojs were Harry Wriphi, Dave Powers and myself. The old cricket grounds at the foot of Richmond street were utilized for practice." A FAMOUS STRUGGLE. "I verily think thct with such management as char- acterized the club in *G9 the Ciucinn«lis as now organ- ized wvuld never fall below third pl«co in a champion- ship race, In tliost- daytf there was d^cipline en f reed. No drinking or carousing was coiinteuimcod and the boys wr re compelled to retire a'- ail early hour. There is no doubt good muler i;il in t)te Ciuciunatis tc-day, and if Ibe best work of the tor.m cau be secured there will bo no such thing as disappointment." And then Mr. Brockaway proceedt-d to tell the etory of the fa- mous llayruiiker-CinciDnati game in 1869, whea the llayniakvrd matched off tbe field on account uf one of bis decisions. Said be: "I cau remember that game as well as if it were but yesterday. There were over ten. thousand people on the grounds. Looking back ni w I can recall but one wrong dec'sicn, nod that w»- agaiott the Cincinnatia in the flrtt inning when I called Waterman out at first. ID those days the rnlts declared that the bentfic of the doubt must always be given in favor of tbe base-ruuncr, and the moment I declared Waterman out I saw I bad been too hasty and wae almost tempted to reverse my ruling, but I didn't, I never had seen tbe Reds play such poor ball before in my life. Harry Wright dropped a couple of ball*, Swetusey two or three and McYey missed ihe first fly of tha year for biin. With the aid of these errors the Haymakers piled op ten runs in the first inning. Cherokee Fither was in the box tor tho visitor* and iu the cour-* of a few innings the Beds bud overcome tbe great lead and had evened up the sc"r« 17 to 17. One of the Reds was on second when McVey, who WHS at tbe bat, knocked a foul down to third. Graver made a dive for it aud scooped it off the ground, taking up a baodfnl of gravel and dust with ihe ball. It was so palpable a case of "not out" that Craver threw the ball ov«-r to Fisher, but I beard McKeown, tie Hay- makern* manager, call from the pi ay era' bench for judgment. " 'How's that? 1 then demanded Craver. "'Not out,' I leapunded, " ( C*11 your mtn off the field,' said McKeown, aud the men wcro called in aud I gave the game to tae Reds 9 to 0." RIVALS OF LONG AGO. "The boys of to day caunot realize tbe intense rivalry Ihat existed bo twee u the Buckeye* and the old Red Stockings," continaed the veteran, warming up to hi-* subjwt. "On one accasion tbe Buckeyes had imported a I"t of tbe beat players in the Kaar, to help them do up the Reds. "Cbwrokte" Fisher was in tho b«x lor thcui. Now, there was one uf the swiftest pitehrrB tt.o country ever saw, but he was like u piece of machinery. Hu lacked hoadttork aud di'l uot feuuw whvit strat-gy meaut.
