SHORT STOPS,
Healey, the new pitcher of the ST. Louis,
is 6 feet 2M inches high, and Jack Glea-
son can walk under his arm Healey is
taller than Fautz, and little broader, but
he is only 10 years old. This is what the
ST. Louis Republican says of him: 'It is
not often that league team dare present
an untried man in the pitchers position,
but this afternoon the st. Louis team will
try the experiment, and put in the square
a youth of only 19 summers, but who, in
build and general makeup, looks like any,
thing but spring chicken. The newcomer
is John Healey, who gives his age as 10,
his weight 15S pounds and his height at
feet 2M inches in his stockings. John halls
from Carlo, ILL.,, and yesterday at the
Union grounds the boys christened him the
Egyptian. When the blacklisted team
played in Carlo a few days ago Healey
pitched against them, and was remarkably
effective. D0lan invited him to st. Louis,
and he arrived here yesterday morning and
took part with the boys in their general
practice. He pitched to Dunlap's batting,
and the latter was so pleased with his work
that he recommended his engagement.
Healey says that he is a machinist by trade
and that he has also done considerable
work in the gymnasium. He is, therefore,
very muscular, and in his pitching shows
wonderful skill and speed. He says: I
have been pitching these last three years,
and have never yet been knocked out.

Cages were liable to knock out anything
to face them So he will pitch for the Ma
rooms to-day, when his skill as pitcher
will be put to the test"
A 100 yard sprinting match, between
Latham of the St. Louis Browns and Sun
day of the Chicagos, is one of the proba-
bilities of the near future. Latham is
practicing every day on the cinder path,
getting himself ready for the race. Latham
is the fastast runner in the American as
sociation, and Sunday is admitted to be
the best in the league, so the match will
decide who is the fastest runner in the
base ball profession. Should the match be
arranged, and it is very probable that it
will be, a great deal of money is apt to
change hands on the result.
The management of the Providence base
ball clubsare trying to see what efficacy
fines will have in squirting the players on to
Go their full duty. Daily was fined $50 for
falling to report at the depot to go to Port
land to play. Shaw and Radford were
fined $50 each for failing to report at the
grounds for practice. Farrell had pre-
viously been fined 500 for using insulting
language to spectator, and laid off for
careless playing. Hines was also fined $50
for careless playing and also laid off. Far
rell has been ordered to play again, and
Hines probably soon will be.
In 1888 Philadelphia had the American
Association champions and the League
tail-enders. This year St. Louis will very
likely be favored with the same combina-
ton, as it is about equally certain that the
Lucas team will pull up at the tail end of
the League as it is that Won der Ahe's men
will win the championship.
Johnny Ward says he will contiue bat
ting left-handed. He does not make a
| large number Of base-hits, but he stands a
better chance OF beating slow grounder OF
a fumbled bali to first base. He says that
a left-handed man has an advantage of ten
feet or more over right-handed man in
reaching first base. There's meat in this.
Rev. Mr.. Hyde of Nashville, in recent
sermon, eulogiZed base ball as an honest
| and manly sport, well adapted as physi-
cal exercise. 1t may be well to remark
that Rev. Hyde is not ''shoutin' Meth
odist," or pond wader," but regular
old ''stif-kneed Presbyterian" and an in
telligent one.
''This Sunday ball playing is shame
and an outrage" exclaimed gentleman or
street car as he looked at his Monday
morning paper. ''You don't know what
yer talkin' about" replied small boy with
a look of disgust on his sooty face. s'Sun.

Louis league club Mr. Lucas insisted upor
retiring from the management of the club,
on account of pressing private affairs. Mr.
B. j. Fine was elected managing director
in his place, with absolute authority ovel
the club. MI. Lucas still retains the presi-
dency.
