PITrsBURGH July 1.-THE three-mile
scull race between o Hanlsn and Gang, on
the Allegheny this evening resulted in an
easy victory for Gang. 0'Hanlan struck
sunken log within en- eighth Of mile of
the starting point, cracking the blade of
his left oar, and colliding with barge or
two and the bier of each OF the three
lead at the start and kept it to the finish,
the length of his lead being subject to
his will. In turning the buoy O'Haulon
hit it with his crooked oar and broke the
blade half off, he did not keep in the
course to the finish. He says he can beat
Gang and will give him another whirl as
soon as he can raise the money. Pools
sold ten to four in favor of Gang. Time,
24:34.
Base BaIIisf I'm Bad Luck.
BALTIMORE, July 14.-In Yesterdays game
With the Metropolitans in this city, P.
Baker was knocked insensible. In the
third inning, with Roseman on second and
Esterbrook on first, Holber. hit a
grounder to Eggler and he threw home to
head off Rossman and tine ball beat the
runner in. Rosemsn, seeing lie was
caught, slid, kicking Baker in the head and
knocking him insensible, the ball falling
out of his hand. Rosemad should have
been fined by Umpire Walsh, as this is an
old trick of his; but he did not do it, nor
would he decide him out.
Advice TO Teemer.
New YORK. July 1.-THE Turf, Field and
Farm concludes an able article on TEEN
ing good advice: Whatever John Teemer
has been. he should now resolve to be as
straight as the homeward bound light OF
the carrier pigeon, and in spite OF every
temptation he should live up to this resolu-
tiCn. Unless he does this his great skill as
an oarsman will bring him only empty
honOrs. He may become champion, but he
will not have the confidence and respect OF
the public.
