Even in Washington the people want
player to smash away at ball as though
bent on sending it as high as the Wash
ington monument. But the managers
don't want that kind of hitting and
wont allow it. During the early part of
the season had to bat behind Hoy, and
as the dummy" generally got to first,
| had to sacrifice to get him around a
base. Of course, this was the proper
thing to do and helped us along, but it
was bad thing for my individual record
and good many managers hire players
by the showing they make in the official
figures. got tired of batting behind
the Dummy and kicked so hard that
was changed in the batting order, but

myself justice. did a great deal of
sacrifice hitting In the last month or

Of the Washington team Wilmot said
he could not say much. He had heard
it said that Mr.. Hewitt lost $1,000 dur
ing the season of 1888, and was hesitat-
ing whether or not to remain. He
thought Mr.. Hewitt was very much in
clined to quit the business, unless he
could get some of the Detroit players.
In the fall of 1856 he had bought the st.
Louis MarOOns, but the league insisted
on parceling them out. and had deliv-
cred them to Indiapolis. Now, it APP
peared, this same league had forgotten
its former act, and allowed the Bostons
to gather the cream of the Detroit men.
1t seems, however, that Mr.. Hewitt
failed to convince the league that some
of the players were due him, as he got
none OF them. If reports are true, on
the other hand. he has purchased Short
stop Ward for the round sum of $4,000.
and evidently intends to remain and
give the league another seasons whirl.

NUT COMING bACA.
Hanlan Will Doubtless Remain in
Australia.


The special cable account of the Han
lan-Beach race of Tuesday says: Beach
won as he pleased. The race was not
fors the championship, but for a stake of
$4,000 a side. Beach retired from cham
pion some months ago, and Kemp, who
recently defeated Hanlan, is still cham
pion. To-day's race was arranged to
give Hanlan chance to win back some
money he lost since he has been here,
but he is more out of pocket than ever.
A grand start was effected, the men
striking water simultaneously, both
going away at forty strokes to
the minute, and the pair rowed
at a terrific rate. For the first 200
yards they kept with each other,
but at the quarter-mile the pace moder-
ated. Beach striking thirty seven and
Hanlan thirty-eight. Up Blaxland's
point, which is mile from the start,
they kept close company, but thence
Beach began to improve his position
and, despite the Canadians desperate
efforts to hold him, not only secured
the lead, but showed the way by a
length passing Putney point, mile and
a half from commencement. On draw
ing clear, soon after leaving Glades-
vile, Beach sculled dead ahead, treating
his opponent to fair dose of backwash,
Hanlan firing rapidly. He maintained
his advantage without much difficulty,
ultimately winning very easily by
apout three lengths in 2:15. 1t is re-
ported that Hanlan will not 20 back to
America, but will 60 into business in

TALKING FIGHT.
Tim Keefe's Defiant Position
Charges of Bad Faith.

Boston, Dec. Secretary
Keefe, of the brotherhood, was ques-
toned to-day relative to the brother
hoods opinion of the action of the
league in adopting the new salary limit
rule. Said he: 81 arrived from Albany
last Tuesday morning, and have been
reports of the league meeting in New
York. Though | cannot say definitely
what shape the action Of the brother
hood will take, depend upon it we are
not going to sit idly by and allow the
league to deal as unfairly by us and in
as bad faith as has been the case. They
broke faith with US last year when they
promised to abolish the $1,000 limit
clause and did not. At that time when
we asked Mr.. Rogers why the league
acted so, he tried to throw the blame
upon the American association. When
we came to investigate we found that
Mr.. Rogers was to blame.
1.-THE action of the league this year is
in direct violation of our contract clause,
which states that a player when re-
served shall not receive less than he re-
ceived the previous season. 1t GER
tainly is time to act. There will be
plenty of fun ahead for the league.
over again. Do you think Ewing is
going to play for any $500 next season,
or that this rule is going to hasten his
signing? Do you suppose that the New
York club is going to be without his
services on account of this rule? Not
bit of it, depend upon it. This whole
thing was originated by indianapolis,
and the league could have got along
without it. How Glasscock and Denny
will kick. see in the papers that there
will be great many players to sign be-
fore December Is. bnt I do not think so.
II shall not lose any sleep about the
matter. I shan't rush to sign, and
don't think any of my comrades and
friends will. We won't assemble until
next spring, but when our houses of
parliament do assemble, let them trem-
ble.' 1t won't bother the brotherhood,
even if few of the members sign. Our
body was never so strong as it now is.
Nor shall we advise any of our men to
hold off. Every one can act as he deems
best. You can see how unfair this at
tempt of the league will work upon
those players who have gone to Aus
tralia. Won't Ward and the others be
mad?'

THE OAR.
Short and Pithy Items on the


The Dirigo boat club of Portland Me-, will
be well represented in the regattas next year.
1t has already been decided to organize a
four and eight-oared crew, and to send both
to the national regatta, wherever that may be
held. There is an abundance of good ma
terial in the club, and the crews will be To-
Gated in the best possible manner. and will
have the Davis appliances that utilize power
in rowing. A strong bid will be made for the
championship of tours and Fights.
Dr. w. Seward Webb. of Shebourne, VT,
has contracted with the Harlan & Holdings
worth company, of Wilmington, Del. for a
steel steam yacht liz feet long, IS foot
beam and 12la foot depth of hold. guaran-
teed to make fifteen miles per hour. One
novel feature of her construction will be a
false or detachable bow. which can be re-
moved to allow the vessel to go through the
locks of the Northern canals. The same eX-
pedient to decrease the length of the vessel
at the stern will also be used.
Candidates for the university and freshmen
eight oared crews of the University of Penn
sylvania have begun training under Ellis
Ward. and the outlook for the two firstclass
crews was never so good as now. All the de-
partments of tie institution are turning out
full quota of men, and for the first time it
looks as though PENNSYLVANIA would have a
thoroughly representative university crew.
1t is proposed to enter the Varsity eight in
all the principal regattas, in addition to the
annual race with Yale.

trim to cover left field for the Senators.
Asked what he thought of the changes
in the rules made by the joint commit
tee of the National league and Ameri-
can association, he expressed himself as
well pleased. Referring to the new
round home plate, he said:
''That is a capital idea. Clarkson,
Calvin, Keefe and Conway had such
control of the ball that they could place
it about where they pleased. They cut
the outside and inside corners Of the old
plate, almost never sending the spere
over the center, and the umpires called
strikes for them. The round plate will
be in favor of the batter, as the ball
must pass squarely over it to make
strike"
"What doyo think of the proposition
to use fiat or heXagonal bats?
1.-THE round bat will continue in use
as long as baseball is played. have
tried the heXagonal bat, but find it I'M
satisfactory. The flat bat may be used
occasionally by players in blocking a
ball.'
''How does the abolition of the foul
tip strike you?"
"That, too, is good thing"
eWill 1t not have a tendency to make
catchers careless and result in largely
increased number of passed balls?"
mo, do not think it will have such
an effect. The fact is, a catcher playing
close up behind the bat hasn't the
slightest idea where foul tip is going,
The ball is coming at rapid pace when
it strikes the bat, and the touch of the
willow sets it to whirling at rapid
rate, and the catcher has but trifiing
chances of getting it. 1t it strikes
squarely in his gloved hands he may
close his fingers about it, but he cannot
judge where it is going. l saw Harry
Sage catching one day in Duluth. The
ball was tipped by batter and lodged
under Harry's chin, (which he shut down
and held there until he could get it, put
ting out his man. Of course, when the
catcher is playing up behind the bat he
is figuring to catch every ball to prevent
base runners from moving along, and
the abolition of the foul tip will not
cause them to lessen their attempts to
keep the runners on the bases"
do you favor the rule requiring a
record of sacrifice hits?'
''Now there is rule after my own
heart. That is the best thing done by
the joint committee. The sacrifice
hitter is appreciated in but few places.

KILRAIN is NO KICKER.
He Issues a Challenge to Sulli-
van for Bare-Knuckle Fight.

CHICAGO, Dec. IA formal an
nouncement, amounting to challenge
of John L. Sullivan by Jake Kilrain
was made here tonight. The an
nouncement is the result of Sullivan's
challenge to Charley Mitchell. 1t is in
the shape of the following statement
from Parson Davies, Kilrain'S manager,
to the Chicago Times: ''Kilrain thinks
that if Sullivan can fight one
man he can fight another, and
therefore makes this offer. He will
fight Sullivan with bare knuckles to a
finish, under the rules of the London
prize ring, the rules under which the
latter won the championship from
Paddy Ryan eight years ago, for $1,000
a side, and to give Sullivan album
dant opportunity to get into per-
feet health and condition, will not insist
on lighting in five weeks, but will give
him ten or twelve weeks. Richard K.
Fox, Kilrain's hacker, stands ready at
any time, and is, indeed, anxious to
make the necessary deposit, and Kill
rain is equally anxious to hear that Sui
liVan will agree to meet him."

NEEDHA AM CALLED.
Harry Gilmore Speaks Point edly
Our Dannie.

Sporting Editor of the Globe.
CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-Seeing that my
proposition to Dannie Needham to come
to Chicago and meet me in twenty
round contest with small gloves for
guaranteed purse of s50O-s400 to the
winner and 500 to the IoSer-alloWing
him $50 for expenses, was not accepted,
the gentlemen who are anxious to see
US come together here increased the
guaranteed purse to 5000 to. be divided,
$500 to the winner and 800 to the loser.
When the subject was first mentioned
to Needham he seemed to jump at the
chance, but when articles of agreement
we've drawn up and sent to him, en-
bodying all his stipulations, it took him
two weeks to make up his mind, and
then his answer did not come until after
repeated letters. 1t was to the effect
that he was interested in some law case
and could not come down. He did not
even return the articles of agreement.
Needham has good reason to believe
that this proposition is genuine. Is it
agreeable to him? Will he meet ME, or
is he afraid? Yours sincerely,
HARRY GILMORE.

TEENiER WAS STIFF.
He Says the Gold Weather Caused

He Says the Cold Weather Caused
Him to Lose the Race.
After the race with O'Connor at
Washington Teemer was seen at Pitts
burg. He appeared on the street, ac-
companied by his wife and son. He
looked to be IN the pink of condition,
was in the best of spirits, and was ap-
pareLtly the same as he always is. He
did not seem to be losing any sleep over
the result of Saturdays race, and was
simply John Teemer, the oarsman.
Teemer was talked to while taking tea
at his home on Walnut street, and
when asked what his programme is,
spoke as follows:
MY programme was to go to San
Francisco Immediately after my race
with O'Connor, to sail for Australia,
and it was generally concluded that if I
failed to defeat O'Connor that | would
not go. do not say that L will go, and
| don't say that will not go, but you
can say for me that l will leave for San
Francisco, Cal, i'll two or, at the latest,
three weeks, for the purpose of rowing,
and will remain in MeKeesport in the
meantime"
"Have you any races on hand?" was
asked.
mo, have no races on hand. I have
no arrangements for race with Peter
son, but will row him when I get in
California if / can make race with
him. - -
What caused you to lose the race
with O'Connor?"
cit was not sore arm. The sore arm
racket | brand as false, and | say the
person who started that report tells
falsehood. The race was not satisfac-
tory to me, and l do not think any more
of O'Connor now than l did before we
rowed on Saturday. I lost the race be-
cause the cold weather affected me. l
was stitfened up by it and could not
row; that is the cause of my losing the
race. l can defeat O'Connor. and the
day will come when we will row on
equal terms, and l will prove it.'
There is one thing Teemer evidently
has not learned, and that is to take de-
feat gracefully.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Dec. People liv-

by an incident which occurred on the
trotting park in that vicinity. 1t was
about 10 o'clock, the wind was blowing
quite fresh, and large flakes of snow
had begun to fill the air, making 1T very
disagreeabie out of doors, when James
Il. Blaine, senior, and James &. Blaine,
junior, emerged from the house and
frotting park, where Mi. Blaine
takes his daily constitutional. The eX-
secretary was encased in long, heavy
brown ulster, buttoned up to the chin,
the wide collar being turned up, and
his inevitable brown derby being pulled
down over his head, only his eyes being
discernible. Young jim wore long
gray ulster with cape and hood, the
hood being closely pinned around his
face to keep out the wind and binding
SNOW.
Arriving on the track a short con-
sultation took place. From the point
ing and gestures made it was evident
that the two were bent on foot race.
Sure enough. standing back to back,
they both started off at the same time,
one gong one way around Ine track ana
one the other. Both walked very fast,
and when the two met and passed the
''quarter pole" James G., ST., was about
twenty feet ahead.
BUTT was evident to those who were
watching the race that the old mans
wind was fast giving out, and that
young Jim was just getting his second
wind" But the head of the Republican
party was not dismayed, but kept trudg-
away. passing under the wire about 10
seconds behind.
1t was as close race as he engaged
in four years ago.
