height is 8 feet 0 inches, and he weighs 1856
pounds. After playing in several amateur
teams in Ohio and Michigan he Joined tho
Terre Haute club in 1888, and the following
year caught in Cleveland and Toledo. After
the latter club disbanded he Joined the In
~dianapolis nine, and was one of the number
transferred to Detroit. where he ended the
season of 1885. -
Stage is the phenomenal Yale College club
pitcher. His initials are A. A. Alonzo), and
he recently graduated from Yale with honor,
and was at the same time SO much of an
athlete and physical expert that he was the
Yale clubs pitcher for three years, and cap
tain of the Yale nine. Hei is of medium height,
well built, with well and symmetrically devel-
oped muscle, and a man of quiet and courte-
Gus manners evidently a refined and Guilt
waited gentleman. Moreover, at the same
time that he is an athlete and a scholar, he is
a robust Christian, and quite above influence
from mercenary motives. While Mr.. Stagg
was pitching for the Yale men in their con-
tests with the Harvard and Princeton clubs,
they carried off the pennants every year. As
a matter of course this fact brought him to
the notice of the professionals, and he was Of
fered first 5000 a year. and afterward what
was equal to $1,000 a year, IL he would pitch
for a professional club. But Stage, the
pitcher, had made up his mind to become
Stagg, the preacher, and he refused all offers
for his services as a professional. Says The
Springfield Republican, he therefore spent
some time at Mr.. Moody's school for the
training of Christian workers, at Mortified,
Mass, and put in his vacation at Chautau-
qua, leading the Chautauqua picked nine,
which includes MIR. William Lyon Phelps, Of
New Haven, another Yale ball player.
Mi. Stage is q member of the Rev. DR..
Henry NJ, Storrs' Congregational church,
at Orange, N. j., and he will have charge of
the Yale College Y. NJ. c.. A. during the COM
ing year. Next year he will go to a theolog-
ical seminary and prepare himself for the
Christian ministry.

hsh competitors with a keel boat. As it IL
now, it can always be claimed that it is not
so much the shape of our racers as the cen
terboard which gives us the superiority.
This can be asserted with some apparent rea-
son, because Mr.. Burgess sloops, especially
the later ones, draw almost as much water
with the centerboard up asa regular keel
model But our yachtsmen claim, per con-
ira, that it is the superior lines of our mod
els which lead our flag to victory.
There is only one way to decide
the ~question-that is, by a practical demon
stration. We have shown what we can DO
with the ce~nterboard; let US see what we
can do without 1t, for If that feature is all
that the question turns upon, then the Eng
lish can build as good yachts as the Ameri-
cans, n only need to add the centerboard
to beat US. On the other hand, If the English
put centerboards in their models, then let us
meet them with keel boats; unless, indeed,
we enter the cup races only to retain the
trophy and not to illustrate principles Of ship
designing. Condensed from s.. G. W. Ben

CRICKET CULLlNGS.

Mr.. Roller, the well known English una
teur, is in Australia, where he will spend the
winter
In a cricket match played at Pittsburg be-
tween two local teams, Burrows and A. Mac
pherson scored 100 runs between the fall Of
the first and second wickets. This breaks
the American record. Macpherson made
100, Burrows 81.
Spalding is getting as many cricketers as
possible in his party to go to Australia this
winter in order to be able to play some
cricket matches if baseball does not draw.
E. r. Ogden, captain of the Gentlemen Of
Canada; George Wright, the old ball player,
and at present one Of the standbys of tho
Longwood club, and George Bromhead, pro-
fessional of the Germantown club, will
probably go.
In the history of cricket but two players
have ever in a first class match scored two
centuries in the same game. The record is
as follows: William Lambert, Sussex va.
EPSON, 1877; Mr.. w. G. Grace, South We.
North, 1865; Worcestershire VS.. Kent, 1887;
Gloucestershirc VS.. Yorkshire, 1888.

BASE HITS.


All things considered, Bob Barr is one of
the greatest pitchers in the international as
ISOLATION, and either he or the Rochester
club will probably have plenty of offers to go
back to the League or Association. If he is
worldly wise he will emulate Lovett's ex-
ample.
Sam Trott and Dick Phelan AVE been
signed by the Des Moines club, of the West
ern association.
The Phillies have a new uniform of silver
grey trousers and coats, red stockings and
maroon striped caps.
Umpire Doescher will not oflciate in any
more of the Cincinnati games this season, but
several of the players hope he will visit the
Porkopolis to enable them to settle a few
questions which are still in dispute.
Terry, the Brooklyn pitcher, has retired
for the season.
Buck Ewing had a chance to go to Aus
tralia, but refused. His refusal is based upon
fear of injury which might unfit him for
work next season.
Fudger, the southern pitcher recently
signed by Sioux City, has jumped that club
and left for parts unknown with a comfort
able lump of advance money. The club has
secured Pitcher Weber, late of New Or
cans.
The Philadelphia management will mako
some important changes in the make up of
its team next season.
Burdock can't hit the Association pitchers,
SO he has changed his style and now bats
left handed and hunts the ball.
The Cleveland club has engaged George
Proesser, the left handed pitcher of the late
Galveston, Tex, club. Proesser is a bright
and well built young man, 20 years old and
about 160 pounds heavy. He has plenty of
speed and good curves Stockton, Cal, and
Louisville also wanted him.
Pitcher Knell has been released by Pitts
burg and has left for San Francisco.
Joe Hornung will probably never moro
play regularly with the Bostons. Supersti-
tious people point to the fact that the team
began to lose again ras soon as he resumed
his place.
John Ward scouts the idea that the De-
troits did not try to play under Manager
Watkins. He says that q moments reflection
will convince one that they would not do such
a thing, which would only affect their record
for q season. 1t was their crippled condition
which caused their downfall. John is apt to
be pretty nearly right.
About half the members of the Kansas City
team are not on speaking terms with the
other half.
Quinn is one of the best coachers the Bos-
tons ever had. He is not afraid to open his
mouth.
The Chicago club had seven pitchers this
season.
Robinson is the strongest and most accu-
rate thrower among the Association catchers.
1t seems strange that players who fail to
come up to the expectations of the managers
of minor leagues should step into the Ma
tional league or American association and
play great ball.
Manager Watkins will handle the Cowboys
in the future.
jackson Brady, one of the I~nternational
association umpires, has been removed, and
John Brennan, of Indianapolis, late of the
Western association, appointed in his place.
1t is said that President Won der Abe Of
fered the Cleveland club $500 for the release
of Pitcher Keas.

gether new and distinct type or model, which
has modified prevailing notions of yacht
building, and is likely to continue, at
least as a fashion, for years to come,
although it is not in all respects superior
to the plan of our old sloops and
schooners. Apropos of these results, it Is
not inappropriate to call attention in this
place TO the fact that the proverbial ingrati-
tude of republics has for once, at least, been
disproved in the case of the builder and de-
signer of the three winning yachts, Gen.
Paine and Mr.. Burgess. A fund was raised
by popular subscription and presented to the
latter, and the city of Boston gave an elab-
crate reception to both gentlemen within the
historic walls of Faneuil hall, Oct. Z,
1887. 1t was realized by the good people Of
Boston that the event which they hnd
brought about by their energy and genius
was Of far more than local or temporary
Importance, contributing as it did to slim
ulate and extend that national sentiment,
the enthusiasm of patriotism, which is now
kindling once moro through the republic
and welding our various races into one great
homogeneous people. Nothing which con-
tributes to that grand result, and arouses
love for the nations glorious flag, can be
deemed otherwise than of the first impor-
tance.
VIA are the peculiar qualities Of the
models which have enabled American genius
to retain the coveted cup so long in our
graspl This question is pertinent in view
of the fact that even many who
can sail a boat with tolerable skill
are unable to nnalyze and define the
exact difference between an English cutter
and an American sloop, and are hence I'M
able to perceive the exact points of change,

1t has been the habit of foreign, and espe-
cially English, experts and naval critics to
assume that the chief feature of American
yachts was tho centerboard, combined with
extreme shallowness OF light draft. This
has been q great mistake, and has led to So
rious misconception of the question, espe-
cially by leading to tho assumption that
American yachts are trustworthy and only
good in fair weather or for hugging the
shore in land locked bays and sounds, And
this view of the subject, we regret
to say, has been reiterated with in
creased prejudice, bitterness and scorn
by American advocates of the cutter, who,
whatever, may be the advantages of the
English yacht, should not SO easily forget tho
triumphs and achievements of the American
yacht on many occasions and in every
variety of weather. No, l am very decidedly
of the opinion that the really distinctive and
original feature of the American yacht has
always been the possession of q high degree
of initial stability resulting great breadth of
beam. This quality has applied to all our
yachts, whether keel or centerboard, giving
to both classes alike great sail carrying
power, with far less ballast to drag, or to
strain the frame. The English yacht, on the
other hand, has never been able to stand up
straight without ballast, even when afioat
without sails and spars, having no Inherent
equilibrium In 1tSelt. IhiS tendency has
increased more and moro until the present
knife edge type has been evolved requiring
a special frame of enormous strength, of pc
culiar shape and OF great expense in order to
sustain a 'lead mine' on the keel. That
great breadth of beam is not in itself a bar
to speed is ~abundantly shown by the achieve
ments not only of our yachts, but also of our
merchant marine. The breadth of our clip-
pers Tas always considerably in excess of
that of the smartest Aberdeen tea clippers.
but no foreign sailing ship that ever hoated
has equaled the astonishing speed of our own
broadly shaped clippers. Let no American
ever forget this fact.

board sloop a craft of very light draft, and

expenses. Then he Joined the Baltimore las

very short time, being released at his own
request to the Haverhin club, of Massachu-
sets, a member of the New England league.
There he remained until the close of the sea-

deal OF his time at window In the

abuse or manage with care their
steeds. 81 saw" he said, "a fine
team the other day. They were
beauties IN appearance, and almost
godlike in their action. The wag on
which they drew was piled up with
heavy lumber. It was a fearful load
for any team. They were going up
an incline, and the driver was giving
them the reins. He never opened his
mouth or applied the lash. The
horses were dcing the best they could,
like the choir IN a Colorado church.
and the driver knew it. This
knowledge became sympathetic. Tt
ran like an electric current from the
mans brains into the lines and com
municated with the horses. They
knew that 8 humane being was trust
ing to them, and they pulled with a
power that was magnificent. II that
driver had opened his mouth in anger
the horses would never have pulled
