DALY'S NEW ROOM.

Some Hints to a Magnate Who Has Devoted a Generation to the Busi­ ness.Maurice Daly is not always happy in

his choice of a location for his billiard rooms. His room in Brooklyn, N. Y., \a said to be one of the model rooms of this country. It does, if we are not mistak­ en, a large trade, its patrons being from the best »r most desirable citizens of the City of Churches. In New York City, however, Mr. Duly is not so fortunate. He has, it is true, had some good loca­ tions there, but they were probably the exception and not the rule. The location recently vacated by Mr. Daly, at 1291 Broadway, would probably have been a good one had the rtom not been practi­ cally a "dive" for years before it passed into his hands. Maurice Daly is a self- made man in every sense that this term implies. When but a mere boy, if in­ deed but little more than a child, he was working in the establishment of Phelan and Collender, where his duties were so arduous that his independence revolted and ho ran away.

He did not, however, retire from the business, as his Uncle Dudley Kava- nagli, who was then all powerful in the business as an expert, being ranked then as an expert, as Schaei'er, Ives and Slosson are to-day, although probably with much more professional power than any of the trio which we have named, took him in hand, with a re­ sult that Duly developed from the frightened boy whom we have re­ ferred to, to a practical magnate of the calling of to-day. And yet, with all of this experience on the part of Maurice Daly, he found it impossible to convert the location at 1201 Broadway into a resort which might be frequented only by gentlemen. ___

The location which Mr. Daly has now secured is a new hall built on the rums of the "White Klepuniit" room, proba­ bly one of the most disreputable dives that has ever disgraced the gentleman s game It is very unfortunate for bil­ liards that such resorts are permitted to exist, but exist they will, so long as un­ clean men shall have the power to go into business. Maurice Daly, with all of his wonderful experience as a profes­ sional and room keeper will have no child's play in handling this new room, and making it a resort exclusively for gentlemen. That it is Mr. Daly a desuo and intention to make it such no one will question; as obviously any other re­ sort would be fatal in a financial view and Maurice Daly, of all other men, is not in the business for romance, hero- worship or pleasure.

Just what course Mr. Daly has mapped out for himself in the handling of this in many respects very desirable, albeit very objectionable location we do not know. We do not pretend to know the Irilliard trade of New York as well as Mr Daly does, or the other room- keepers of that city. But having some slight knowledge of the business, and b"ing conscious of the fact that there is but little difference in the- calling be­ tween New York and Philadelphia, were Duty's new_rooa*our.«. wo should, firstof atf, put nothing but 5 by 10 tallies AfPthe place; secondly, it is u question If we should have more than one pool table there, if any at all.

The great obstacle to be encountered in establishing a room of this character "s to get rid of or free the place from "shoe-string gamblers." or that element who know just enough about the game to play onlv on 4% by 9 tables, or to play pool. The former patrons of the ' White Klcphaut." were, as a rule, pool "ficuds," although these very ''fiends" do not object to resorting to billiard playing when the table is so Hiimll that they can carry it off. when thrro is nothing else left for them to cnke. The 5 by 10 table, however, is their horror, either at billiards or pool. The lomoiits at fair dealing at or on such a table are too small, and being such, they rarely, if ever, frequent places where the large tables are in use. On the other hand, if Mr. Daly has Slosson's backbone, and shall persist in catering only to the best trade of his city, it is only a question of time until his' fortune is assured. In doing all this, however, or in tin" endeavor to establish such n place, it is either rule or ruin. Mr. Daly must either rule his place or rue the day in which he became its owner.

such. The great wealth of billiards in this country is concentrated in the hands of manufacturers, and a few manufac­ turers at that. There are probably not five rich room keepers in this country to­ day, or as rich men are now considered. A few may bo worth $100,('KX>, or more, which is a mere bagatelle. Such then being the case, it behooves manufactur­ ers to alter their wills, and leave from $5000 to flO.OOO to each association at their death, or, what would be vastly better, to donate that sum during life.

THE DRAMATIC FUND.

Interesting Details Between Differ­ ent Professions.

The annual report of the New York Dramatic Fund, which has just been published, should be of great interest to billiard men, in view of the fact that it is practically the same to the dramatic profession as the American and Nation­ al Billiard Associations are to men en- fagod in billiards. The panic which wo

ave passed through, was practically un- krwn to billiard men, compared to members of the dramatic profession, which is of course much larger. It was not found necessary, for instance, tc contribute to any member of the billiard profession during the panic, by either association, with the single exception of one instance, which was promptly re­ sponded to by the American Billiard As­ sociation. The Dramatic Fund, on the other hand, while we have not read its details, but its editorial comment, seems to have suffered largely in a financial view from the recent panic. On the other hand, its bank account -is still good, owing to the $5000 which the late Kdwin Booth left it. While the Amer icaa and National Billiard Associations are now quite as successful financially owing to the fact that they have hac uo such drain, even if they did i:ot at any time receive more than $20, as a contribution, and not many such con­ tributions at that. Indeed the largest which we can recall were from Dodds and Ives, the former sending $20, am: the latter $10, to the American Associa tion. Most of the money collected by both organizations came in at the rate of a dollar or less each month.

A striking feature of the Dramatii Fund report is, that the same complain about members everywhere not joining is as obvious as is the case with oui now historical billiard associations There is also considerable complaint as to the election of officers; board of trus tee, etc., such as resulted in the spli here from the National Association, am which onfy proves that human nature Is the same everywhere, whether in bil liards or the histrionics. What now mosl concerns us is the fact that it is possible for the dramatic profession to have ai Kdwin Booth, who contributes $5000 a a critical moment, while, so far, billiards has produced no such man. It is true that the condition of the billiard asso ciations of this country is not critical but it is equally true that any one year as a matter of fact, can make them

A Tournament Which Promises to Attract Much Attention.

The annual mid-summer handicap billiard tournament, which will be inaugurated at Foley's parlors about the middle of July, promises to be tbe most interesting event if the kind ever held in the Northwest, t will.include Henry Sampsou, oue of the carting amateur billiardists In Ameiica,

seven other local players of repute, >roperly haudicapped, Sampson, of course, >laying scratch. It will be a straight-

rail tournament, with appropriate prizes, hich will bo selected later. The other

seven players will probably be Thayer, Foley, Jr., Clow, Thomas, DicUiusou, Clark and either Barren or Jiabcock.

These comprise the loading amateurs of ?t. I'aul. While Barron is, strictly speak- ug, not in that class, ho is, nevertheless,

a speedy youug player and au ambitious one. Ho has a good stroke, and, while IB has not yet mastered the art of nursing he spheres ou the rail, he can accomplish t as well, perhaps, as some of tho others,

aud there Is every opportunity for him to "earn.

Kampson in the last several weeks, in his tournament with Tom Foley, Jr., has lemonstrated the fact that he is one of the speediest amateur players in this country. In a 14-inch balk line game on Friday light with Tom Foley he averaged 15 2-3 u a 20O-jioiut game, winning in 13 in- lings. This was seven points higher than Lho highest average made in the recent amateur tournament iu Chicago, which fact 'ertainly stamps Sampson as the speediest

amateur in the country. Foley has be^n playing excellent hil-

Inrds of late, and the only obstacle In Us way is his faint-hcartedncss or modesty n the presence of large crowds. Once lie

overcomes this lie will hold his own with any of them and in time reach Sampson. Thayer's game has improved since last year, and IHckinsou has been playing con­ siderably (if late and will be In good trim when the tournament begins. Babcock came to the front surprisingly in the AFetropolltan tournament aud was really first heard of there. He p'ayed. porhans, a little better game than Ban-on. Thomas and Clow are too well known to need ai y extended mention. Thomas is always In good shape, hut Clow needs a little brush

n<? up before the tournament opens. He has allowed Ms billiard practice to slip by.

n'l if there Is anvtlilne essential to good billiard playing It is practice.

A local owner of a pool table wants to exchange uis pool table for a bicycle. He evidently wants to run away with himself for hav'lng been crazy enough to got a pool tables. In the meantime It Is a <pies-

DIXON AND GR1FFO DRAW.

That Was the Decision of the Referee, But Dixoii Had the Better of the Battle AH Through.At Boston, Mass., June 29, 1894,

Jeorge Dixon won new laurels in his 0-round glove battle with Young Gritfo, he clever and shifty Australian. True, he referee declared the contest a draw, iut it was as clearly a victory for Dixon s it could be short of a knockout. Tho eather-weight champion forced the fight rom start to finish. The battle was in ome respects the greatest feat in Jixon's career. He fought at catch

weights, and gave 15 pounds to one of he cleverest men that ever stood in a ing. His willingness to concede pounds,

where, in other fights, he has contended or ounces, raised a question as to the ieriousuess of the contest, but not a pectator left the Casino that night who bought he had not seen a fair and sci- 'iitific glove battle. Neither man lost his emper, and nothing unfair marked the

movements of the fighters.GRIFFO THE FAVOKITE.

Dixon was given a hearty cheer when je appeared, but Grift'o was clearly the 'avorite with the larger part of the "rowd. The referee, John Eckhardt, an- lounced that the contest was to be '20 ounds, and the man who had the bet- er of it was to get the fight aud the mrso of $loOO. "Dan" Murphy was imekeeper.Dixon was in prime condition, weigh-

ng in at l'2'f> pounds. Every muscleworked clearly under his chocclate--olored skin. Griffo tipped the scales at3S pounds, and was in fair condition,hough there was plenty of fat where itvas least needed.

DIXON FORCED THE FIGHTING.The story of one round is substantially

:ho story of all. Dixon was the ag­ gressor from the sound of the bell and lever allowed his opponent a moment's

t. He landed again and again on ifo's ribs, scored on his left ear re-

>eatedly with a swinging right and got n a quick upper-cut now and then.

rifl'o, on the defensive, did his bestwork in the last half of the battle. Hisreturns were often good, but never bet-er than the blows he encountered. The

colored feather-weight champion selectedhe spot just under Griffo's heart forlis place of visitation with his rightland, but he soon found Griffo one ofhe cleverest of stoppers, and Georgevent back to his old left-hand workfor the stomach, with Jittle success.

TUB niXirSlON 8!ATFS:''A(TOKY.Dixou was fresh at the finish. There

was a little blood from Dixon's nose and Griffo's slciu was very red, but no other narks of punishment were visible. The

crowd was quiet and orderly. It was ':iy long odds the best battle ever seen n Boston, and when at the end of the last round Heferee Eckhardt declared it i draw, the decision was greetexl by oud cheering.

FITZSIMMONS' DESIRES.

Ho Says He Will Pi-flit Kitlipp Cor­ bett, Choynski or O'DoiuieH.

Bob Fitzsimmons is at present spend­ ing his honeymoon midst the picturesque onvirnumi'iits of LiiUe Hopatamg, N. J. Despite the fact that his conjugal ,hap- liness takes tip must of his time tb» middle-weight champion finds occasion lo write itbout his future plans. Fitz, in a lengthy letter, says:

"I um gaining strength and knowledge here and enjoyins life as I never di;l he- fore. I rp»ully never felt better in my whole career than I do now. Wliilo I retcret to leave here I must naturally look forward to the future, which will nnd me plenty to do. I am exceedingly.anxious to liKht ngiiin. I see that Corbett refuses to talk business until he returns to New York. Well, I' suppose I will have to wait his bidding. But really, I mns,t confess that I don't see my way clear as far as getting n match with him is concerned. I am told that President Sprocl, of the Olympic Club of New Orleans, is at m-esenf in Chii ago, trying to match me itCTlnst Steve O'Don­ nell. I will flftht O'Donnell if they hang up a purse large enough. As far as Choy­ nski Is concerned. I am ready to give him another bout. But I'm afraid such a con­ test would not attract many spectators since I defeated him. If 'I'atson' Davies really means lo bet ?2500 on tlie outside tbat his m:tn can whip me,' I will go bim.'

Corbctt'8 Plans.Champion "Jim" Corbett has decided

to return to this country on July 120. Accompanied by Manager Hraily, lie will sail from Knglnnil ou July 13. On his arrival here Corbett. will be met by a representative of tho Florida Athletic Club, of Jacksonville, who will offer him a purse of $35,000 to light Peter Jack­ son. Corhctt will accept and will sign the Florida Athletic Club's articles of tgrreeinent. A representative of the Florida organization will visit Jackson and try to induce him to consent to meet Corbett in the South. Jackson will be given two weeks in which to consider the matter. At the expiration of that time, if Jackson declines to ac­ cept the Florida club's offer, a $30,000 purse will be offered for a contest be­ tween Fitzsimmons and Corbett.

Shoulder Hits.At Tamaqua, I'a., June 2S, Jersey Gor­

don, of I'biladelphia, whipped Al Muller, of Tamaqua, iu three rounds.

The London "Sporting Life" announces that Frank Blavin has accepted an offer of Jake Kilralu lo box for $1000 a side.

Jake Kllraln says he Is in such good health aud coudition that he will re-enter the ring. He weighs 2M pounds. He wants to fight Frank SUvin to a iiuish for a purse anywhere.

Ted rritchard has notified Richard K. Fox, the representative of the Olympic Club, of New Orleans, that he will be at liberty in December to tight any mau in the world at 11 stone at New Orleans.

Johnny Young, the Brooklyn light-weight pugilist, aud Jack Green, of Amsterdam, have been matched to tight ten rounds for a purse of $800. The contest will take place iu Albany the latter part of this month.

Joe Choynski Is not satisfied with his defeat by Bob Fitzsitnmons, and wants to meet him again for the $8000 purse offered by the Olympic Club, of Nejv Orleans. Ir case this match cannot be made Steve O'Donnell may meet Choynski.

The city marshal of Concord, N. H., ar­ rived there July 2, from Augusta, Me., with John Muldoon. one of the principals In a recent prize tight at London, lie and "Tim" Holland, of Concord, who was time- keeper, were arraigned in the Police Court and each held in $500.

A tight between Billy Hearn and Paddy McCarty took place at a well-known Long Island resort before about 200 sports last night, and resulted in a victory for Hearn In the eighth round. Hearu did al" the leading and had the better of the bout throughout. Eugene Horubacker was referee.

Horace M. Leeds, the ex-champion ama­ teur light weight boxer, has challenged "Jack" McAuliffo to box to a finish at I.'i3 pounds for $2300 a side and the champion­ ship of the world. If McAullffe declines, Leeds says he will claim the champlonshir of America and stand ready to box anj man in the world at 133 pounds.

A fight, which was to have takoi place at Coldbrook. Mass., July 1, betweci I). J. Sullivan, of East Brookfleld, and W B. McGrath, of Spencer, did not come off MdGrath appeared at tha ringside) as agreed upon, but Sullivan failed to pu in an appearance. After waltiug for Sulli

Tan the length of time agreed upon the Pttkes were declared forfeited to Mc-"irath.

James MeAibie, the backer of; Billy Ahearn, has issued this challenge: "Un- lerstandlng that Horace M. Leeds, of Philadelphia; Mike Leonard and George leynolds are eager to arrange a match, I vill back Billy Ahearn, who recently tnocked out I'adtly McCarthy, in a contest "or $1000 to fight either Leeds, Leonard if Reynolds, at 133 pounds, weigh In at he ring side, for $500 or $1000. and the argest purse offered by any club. I have

posted $100 to bind the match."A lively 20-round fight with six-ounce

jloves took place at the Twin City Athletio .Uub, Minneapolis, June 27, between Jack

Slavin and 1'addy Cummlngs, of St. Paul, he latter being declared tbe winner.

Slavin led the fighting and was on the aggressive the greater part of the time. There was some dissatisfaction over the

decision given by Refere'e Seelyc, Slavin's 'fiends declaring that he was by no means >ested. From all appearances he was as rood as when he entered the ring.About one hundred sportsmen of New

York visited a quiet resort June 20, wlth- u twenty-five miles of the city to sec a

fight to a finish between "Tommy" Barnes ami "Joe" Hopkius, the colored 125-pound mgilist. The colored flghttr was so anxious o "do" his man q'olckly that he resorted o foul tactics, although repeatedly warned >y the referee. In tbe third round Hopkius became so excited that he hlp-locke3 Barnes and thrtw him. It was a very Ight fall and did not hurt Barnes in the

_east, but it was a foul, and the referee gave the fight to Barres.

Parson" Davies has returned to Chi­ cago. He dropped Choyuskl in Cincinnati,

fhere he will remain iwjtne time. The Parson" Is confident that Fitzsimmons

and Choynski will come together again soon. "Before the fight at Boston." he said, "I thought Joe had an outside chance to win. Now I am satisfied that he had an even chance. It was his own fault that he did not win. I expect to receive an offer of a $10.000 purse from New Or- eans. If it is made both Bob and Joe

will accept. I have not hoard from Peter Tackson since he left for San Francisco.

L,OR.D HAWKE AGAIN.

A Tour Probably Arranged For His Team by Grrmaiitown.

A brief cable dispatch from Englr.nd stating that Lord liawke will visit the United States this autumn makes it seem probable that the correspondence which has beon going on for some time between the Germantown Cricket Clnb and the Yorkshire amateur has resulted iu tho latter's deciding to come over. At the same time the Germantown offi­ cials can give no definite corroboration, as they have not heard directly from Lord Hawke.

Should the team come over, two matches will probably be played in Philadelphia against the combined amateur strength of the city, and one game each in New York and Boston.

This makes ths third international team that is likely to visit Philadelphia coming fall, and, while the German- towii Club has secured by far the most attractive event, it seems likely that some at least of the various clubs 're­ sponsible for the triple invasion will be considerably out of pocket by the vent­ ure.

Byes.At Philadelphia, June 30, in a Halifax

Cup match, Germantown beat Tioga 107 to 84.

He should not have pitched thsifc lay, imywny, as he only arrived here the night before from New York. He pitches apainst the same club neit Tuesday, and I'll wager a red apple that there won't be any inning that ten runs will be scored against bim.

It ia more than likely that Pittsfleld will quit after the Fourth, and Newburg will have tliu "ranch ise.

Dftvlln, the left bander, who has been pitch­ ing for Troy, was here with the Albany Club. ie had some trouble over salury with the Troy management, and was released. He is a pitcher all the same, and there are a number of East­ ern League clubs who have not as good as he. He has not signed with Albany.

Manager Arnold, of the Albanys, is the hard­ est loser in this League. How he did tick over lotting two straight. The more he kicked :he harder we hit his pitebers. He swears that Powd won't umpire another game. The same old story: The umpire lost the game. If that was the case we would huve defeated *UHly V Senators worse than we did, and iioiivens kmnva how we could have done that; '.m Dowd roasted us ten to one worse than "Billy" claimed his club was. In fact I could not see where we got any the best of it.

Tip O'Nt'il, who has been spending a few weeks up in Canada, is expected borne to-day or to-morrow, and iu all probability will manage our teum for tho -remainder o£ the season.

We are making more money than any club in the League, and would have made still more if our club bad been winning oftener. No wonder the players in other clubs are desirous of play­ ing here. The manager gets a basket of letters every week from players wbo are anxious to come here.

Towman, who plays short for tbe Shenandonh (I'a.) Club, will be with us before this letter

read.Leon Hall, wbo was appointed an umpire from

this city, Is giving general satisfaction.Manager Arnold has shipped tbe notorious

Al Lawson. ''Billy" says: "he was no earthly tcood, on the ball field or off, and he was an injury to the game and to honest ball players."

What a difference there is in ball players. Some, in fact most of them, are an honor to the profession and the country; others are no good in any place you put them, for they disgrace themselves and the game. Some clubs come hen; and you never know of it only at the game; others are carousing, both day and night, and everybody is glad when they have left.

I believe that outside of the Eastern and West«rn League we have the strongest and best- kicked League In the country, and I wish to say right here that we are playing pretty fast ball. All of the teams have greatly strengthened since the start, and we are still doing so.

Ponghkcepsie Pointers.PoughkeepslG, July 2. Editor "Sporting

Life:*' Tiio Poughkoephic Club is putting up great ball at pm;eiit, winning seven games out of seven, in the past series.

Darrow's Dandify have revived to a very great extent and the life and ginger put in- ' to their playing has startled the howlers who advised Manager Harrow to get even another carload of ginger for future use, In case of necessity.

The attendance so far fn thia city has been ! satisfactory, and the club Is In a most pros­ perous condition, as are" their chances for bring­ ing the pennant of the New York State League to the Queen City of the Hudson, as did Man­ ager McDonald's Poughkeepsie Club, iu '86, when the Hudson Kiver League was In existence.

There were but two games here the past week, Friday anil Saturday, with Kingston. The first game was ours by a score of 8-11; tho second a victory for Walyh's Waltzers; score, 10-4.

Secretary Harry McKi n/ie, of the League, writes me there have been forty home runs made by players of all the clubs. "Old Reliable T1<1" "Wulsh, captain of the Poughkeepsies, leads with five to his credit; Alien aud O'Kcilly, of Kings­ ton, have three each; Flint and Beebe, of Am­ sterdam; Dowd, of Johnstown; Hlrkey, of Pitts­ fleld, aud Uafferty, of 1'ougnkeepsie, have each two.

Tho players bavins tbe greatest number oftotal lia.se btis to their credit In a single gameit re Hi ckey 1-1, Alien 9, Stanhope 9, Grove 9,K. P. Johnaton 8, Lcgg«;tt 8, Cassldy 8, Bcebe, 8.

LOCAL AND (JENKKAL NEWS JOTS.During the past week Toughkoepsie shut out the

Amsterdams In a nice gain* at the latter club's home. How it must have galled the "Only Walter" (Beebe), lie of the nice black "tash." "Sir Walter" formerly played centre, and played It well for the I'oughkeepsies in '80, under the veteran player, Manager "Jim" McDonald.

Manager "Billy" Ainold, of Albany, likewise President Julius Haas, of the League, have nerve enough to last them till the end of the century, and If Albany does not get the beat end of everything going it Is not their fault. On Memorial Day they bad both games at home, and July 4 tliey have scheduled themselves for the afternoon game. "Nervology" is their study, although we took a little of it from Manager Arnold and Captain "Jack" Messett by l>eating them two straights during their last visit here.

' J;K'Uy" Munis, our popular rightliehler and one of Poughkeepsles surest batsmen, is recover­ ing irotii mi aiU.rK of "Cii:;rlry Hur.se."

I,eft lielder George Adams has been playing a remarkable Held game, while his stick work is Al.

Captain Walsh, who played with our pennant winners In 'So', Is the loading1 Latter of the League, while "Billy Daley formerly "Smiling William" of the Boston pennant winners, is sec­ ond in the pitchers averages; admittedly he fields his position better tli;\n any t wirier in the. league. When lie thaws out a little more with this warm weather be will leave the other pitchers behind like a meteor.

Kogers leads all league first basemen. "THlnk" has a way of digging oue toe down on the bag and leaning out his full six feet and stealing the ball, getting a put out, which oftentimes saves errors for the player who makes the assist.

I understand Manager Carrow has lescutred sev­ eral of his teoin about their grand stand play. I havo seen several costly errors by such play­ ing the past week. Drop it boys, lest ye be dropped.

According to my prediction in last letter, pitcher Kuyfler will do. He is a quiet, unassum­ ing young fellow, but cau't he pitch ball? Well! Well!

The only Herman Smith leads tho League backstops. He is a good hitter awl can catch every day the club plays, a la "Old ltd i able dimmer," of Cleveland, who caught for Fough- kcepsie in '80.,

Our "Tasty Brunette," short stop Mofiuire has had his "good eye-" of late. I would advise "Mac" to not change hjs suit, but keep on his Itattinff clothes. He is an er.rnest, faithful work­ er and "plays the game" at all times.

Manager Darrow should not bo hampered by tho directors. If his team are to be winners let one man manage them; "too manys cooks spoil the broth." ^Tliere never yet was a successful team where the manager or captain was interfered with by officers and directors of the club.

Umpire Dowd ban been placed on the staff again and is giving better satisfaction.

Kingst<»n Is with us this afternoon. Here is to old "I'okee|>." July 4 A. M. the Tough keeps ies play at Kingston, while tho afternoon game July 4 will be played here with tho same club.

Grogan, formerly of the Poughkoepsies, has been signed by Manager George Madden, of the rejuvenated Kingston club. He pitches this aft­ ernoon. If anyone can make- the Kingston Club a success it is George Madden. He is an old Imll player, having been one of the famous Jaspers of Manhattan College, New York, popu­ lar aud with good business ability. Here's hoping my hopes as to Ms endeavors will be verified.

I fail to understand the patriotic (?) spirit with which some Pougfiktvpsle papers seem Inbued. If they hew of a weak team or murmurs of dis­ content with any club out they come with a "roast," which certainly does not help tho League along; if they wish lo see tho Lcagu" stand they should encourage not discourage, and aid by every reasonable meons, build up, in­ stead of tearing down the reputation of any touni.

It Is poor judgment for one manager to rob another manager of a player, when the transfer (?) weakens nn already weak club aud endangers its staying in tbe League, the State Board of Directors should exercise some forethought in such matters. A stitch in time saves nine.

Several of Pouphkeepsie's players are marked "good" to be released, unless they play better ball. They are paid for it and" when on the field should understand they must get down to work and put heart, life and some sincerity in their work. The patrons do abominate listless playing; this applying to half-hearteduess in batting as well.

Roundsman Charles MeCnbo, left fielder of the Pongnkt'epsie police bnll team and brother of Chief McCube, performed a very brave act Mon­ day veniug last. A young woman, Grace Brad­ ley, was out rowing with two friends and fell Into the Hudson in attempting to land. Tlie policeman jumped in the water, clothes and all, being a good swimmer, saving her from drowning. He also had a very difltcult time in getting the young iran. Miller, from the water. Tbe Mc- Cir-e« aro life-savers truly.

Disk, Poughkeopsie's second basemnn, was re­ leased by Manager Darrow Sit unlay evening. He will be given a trial by Kingston this after­ noon. JAMES A. LA VERY.

COLLEGE NOTES.Brown's team was u great disappointment this

year. It wus thought it would tinish with the best of the college clubs, but it fulled to wio. from Harvard, while tbe latter was "easy" tot Yale are! I'tiuisy.

Koy Thomas, next year's captain of the Unl» vcrsity of Pennsylvania bnll teiun, is to [iliiy centre field for the Orange Athletio Club tills summer.

Tlie Yale nine lost but one game in which Carter has pitetied since the opening of the col­ lege wapson. Owing to the Increase in the pitch­ ing distance it has been impossible for him to equal his record of strike outs u year ago, but his watching ot the buses has been much nh:irp- er this year than it was last, \vliik- his butting lias improved so that he stands well nigh, if not quite, at the head of the list.

Frederick Rustin, captain of the Yules of 1S95, IB tho third Andover captain on the Yale team.

Phil King, I'rinceton's famous basi- ball and foot ball player, is with his r>amits in Washing­ ton spending his vacation. Hi> is taking regular exorcise at the Columbia Athletic Club House and occasionally taking a haud In a game of tennis.

Wlmt Harvard needs in base hnll is a first- class professional ooaeh, who shall be given authority to pick out the team ami be entirely free from any interference of any kiud.

Pitchers Dolan and Wilson jumped Charleston at Kenton, O., and joined the Statmton (Va.) Club. They were the only weak sjtots In tlie Charleston team and saved the trouble of re­ leasing them. Their places were tilled by two good men in Dick and Koler, aud Charleston hasn't lost a game since.

nines, Peniiiugton, O'Connor, Breen, Padden, Ponge and Violet are playing great ball.

There Is a IHHIIH in luise bull in all tin 1 Ohio towns and they are talking of a League for uext season.
