KEMP A GOOD ONE.
The Man Who is to Row Hanlan
in Two Weeks.


in Two Weeks.
Peter Kemp, to whom Beach resigned
thes9 worlds championship, has lately
beaten Thomas Clifford by seven
lengths on the Parramatta river. Aus
traIia. Kemp will row Hanlan in six
weeks. After the race Beach said:
,;"My expectations with regard to Kemp
have been quite fulfilled: am doubly
gratifed, because when | handed over
the championship to Kemp in the belief
that he was fit and proper person to
fight the Australian aqvatic laurelS, the
press strongly condemned my choice,
and said Kemp was not good enough
man to hold. the championship against
all comers. | believed he was, and of
course am very glad that was not mis-
taken as regards the race itself. l did
not see much of it, what did see of it,
however, was sufficient to show me
that my man was the winner. Before
the race commenced | went out and
padded past the beacon about mile
and quarter from Ryde, when Kemp
hove in sight. He seemed to be rowing
firmly and steadily. and well at
his ease. He was going in
grand style, and when he drew abreast

how he felt He replied readily and
confidently that he was all right. The
manner in which he spoke, together
with the advantage he held, convinced
me that he could win. Here he was
rowing in great form, at least thirty to
the minute, and Clifford, who at the
beacon must have been at least five or six
lengths behind, was laboring hard at
thirty-two. If Kemp had been rowing
Hanlan instead of Clifford he would
have kept Hanlan at the top of his
speed to-day, and should HanIan chal-
lenge him tonight he will accept. l
have now more confidence than ever in
his capacity to cope with the Canadian.
Kemp will be prepared to row Hanlan
in six weeks, not earlier. L think he
certainly requires at least one months
rest. When he was with me on the
Nepean l rowed him down to skeleton.
Then he wanted a long rest, and he
needs it quite as badly now. Before
leaving his quarters for the post Kemp
was certain of winning, and l am glad
that his own expectations and those of
his many friends have been so Signally

Anson Takes Long Chances.

go to win a game of ball: eve were play
ing against the New Yorks. 1t was in
the last inning and the game was 5 to s..
Mccormick was pitching and l was
catching. Mccormick had pitched in
two or three games that week with a
pretty sore arm. He was tired in the
last inning and Anson was the first to
notice it. The umpire called a good ball
a strike and Anson objected. To his
mind, he said, it should have been ball.
He had ten-minute argument, and get
ting near me gave me the tip that |
should hurt my finger. The next ball
did that. had to go in the dressing
room, and it was fully ten minutes be-
fore could show up. In the meantime
Fred Pfeffer had been hurt by pitched
ball in practicing, and as result there
was almost half an hours delay. Nc
Cormick braced vp and felt pretty good
again. He pitched great inning and
then we made one run in the next. We
had won the game. If Mccormick had
not got the rest we would have been

CRITICAL AT KANSAS CITY.
The Fight Between Rival Teams
Creates Much Discussion.

KANSAS CITY, March 31.-The base
ball situation here is in a decidedly
mixed up condition, and the first game
will, no doubt, be placed in court
room. The managers of the American
association club will seek an injunction
against the managers of the Western
association club the first time they at
tempt to play ball, and the trouble eX-
isting between the two arrangements
will be thoroughly aired. The first
game of the American association club
will take place April IS with the Gin
cinnatis. In order to counteract the
effect of this the Western association
club has arranged for an exhibition Sc
ries with the Detroits. This will hardly
be a fair test as to the popularity
of the two clubs, but will bring out
the friends of both in goodly num-
bers. In the schedule arranged there
are twenty conflicting dates, and with
the lower and better grounds of the
Western clubs, it looks as if on these
occasions they will get the crowds. In
the past Kansas City has failed to sup
port one club, either at 25 or SO cents
admission, and the experiment of sup
porting two at both these prices, pre-
sents grave financial problem which
the stockholders alone seem willing to
solve. In the two associations Kansas
City will keep the base ball world
guessing. 1t will finish near the lead in
the Western association, and will not be
"tail-ender'' in the American.

WilnOt and Hoy.

Washington Correspondence Sporting News
Every one is amazed to continually
read of the wonderful playing of Will
mot and Hoy. They are hitting the ball,
stealing the bases and fielding in such
great style that makes the enthusiasts
at home anxious and eager to see them at
home. Hoy will prove the most silent
man in the league this season. He will
never kick on strikes or balls and never
dispute with the umpire or players on
the opposing side. He will not be af-
fected by any applause that may be
showered on him. But in place every
body will be extremely anxious to see
him. He will be the biggest drawing
card in the league, and will become a
popular and general favorite every
where, not only with the patrons of the
game but with the players themselves.

DISCOVERED THE CURVE.
How Harvard Beat Princeton
Back in 1875.

"I shall never forget my first expert
ence facing curve pitching," said A. ).
Tying recently. SIT was in the summer
of rs. 1 was then playing third base in
the Harvard nine, and we had come
down to play our annual game with the
Princeton college team. Up to that
time we had never even heard of the
curved ball. We went into the game
with every confidence, Mann then pitch
ing for Princeton. The first five men to
the bat, think. struck out. We did not
notice anything peculiar about Mann's
delivery, except our inability to hit 1t.
At the fifth inning the score stood z to 2
against us. Our inability to touch the
ball became so marked that some OF the
nine took position behind the catcher,
which was allowed in those days, to see
if he could discover what was the
trouble. The discovery was a revela-
ton. Balls that started in the direction
of the strikers body were coming over
the plate, and what apparently promised
to be good ball was a foot or more
out of the batSman's reach when ne
struck at it. Such an eccentric delivery
was unheard of, and we were unable to
account for it, but it is fact all the
same that was likely to cost us the game
unless we took prompt and immediate
action. There was one fatal mistake,
however, that Mann made. His curve
was very wide one, but he limited him
tied himself entirely to this one style OF
delivery, never using a straight ball:
The consequence was that every ball
that seemed about to ''take'' us in the
side came directly over the plate. We
picked out the longest bat we could find,
and every ball that was apparently
about to knock the wind out of US, we
struck at with childlike faith that it
would be somewhere near the center OF
the plate. Nor were we disappointed.
Had Mann appreciated the wisdom of
sending in straight ball occasionally,
he would have dissipated our wind and
faith at the same time, and had us COM
pletely at his mercy; but this he never
seemed to think of. Consequently, we
soon began to "find" the ball with some
effect, and as we whitewashed them for
the remainder of the game, we managed
to crawl out of very small hole, and
eventually won the game, the score at
the close being 9 to7.

Billy Can Be Trusted.

Boston Herald, March 81: Sowders,
the new pitcher, is here and has made
good impression among those who have
seen him at work in practice. 1t is, of
course, too early to form any Judgment
as to his ability as a pitcher, but if it is
at all commensurate with his personal
appearance he will be we'll worth the
money expended in his release. He
seems to be man who can be trusted
not to booze OF dissipatee, and such men, n
what the Boston club, or for that, any
other club, needs and should be willing
to pay premium to secure. SowderS
has brought his wife with him, and she
trots up to the rink every day and
watches her husband at his work with a
solicitude that is very charming to OBJ
serve.

MYERS-M'AULIFFE.
Myers Says the Affair Appears to
Have Fallen Through.

CHICAGO, March 31.-Billy Myers, the
lightweight pugilist, arrived from
Streater yesterday afternoon and re-
turned to-day. He says the match be-
tween himself and Jack McAuliffe ap-
pears to have fallen through, his back
ers' forfeit money having been returned
by the st. Louis Globe-Democrat, which
was to have held the stakes. ''Ken-
nedy's draft" said he, twas sent to the
Globe-D Democrat, and was sent back with
instructions to make it payable to Mar
stin, the city editor, or Murphy, the
sspoTting editor. We knew nothing about
the responsibility of Martin or Murphy,

4St. Louis, March 91.-A draft, paya-
BILE TO the order of the Globe-DemOcrat,
received from Kennedy, was returned
Ny the business manager of that paper,
who knew nothing about the match, land
explained that the names of the prOprie-
tors of the Globe-Democrat could not be
used in connection with a prize-fght.
When the city editor learned what had
occurred he advised Kennedy that the
draft should have been sent to the edi-
torial department., and advised him to
send on cash or check to cover the de-
pesit in behalf of McAuliffe to either

the paper would be responsible. Ken
nedy proposed another STAKEHOLDER, and
was Informed that the articles of agree
ment could not be changed except by
consent of both parties. Kennedy then
demanded the name of McAuliffe'S
backer, and, when informed that while
that could not be diyulged, the full
amount of McAulitfe's stake, $500,
was deposited in the Globe-Democrat
Office, he replied that he would not cover
McAuliffe's forfeit. The impression
here is that the Myers party has weak

to-day, ready to get his arm in condi-
tion, and Winkleman will report on
Wednesday. Sterling is expected about
the same time, and RehSe is already
here, making the full complement of
pitchers. Jordan, another catcher, is
due tomorrow, but Graves will
await warmer weather, as ne
has spent the winter in California,
and Manager Gooding does not wish to
run any risk of the sudden change OF
climate. Krieg, the old catcher, dropped
into headquarters yesterday, and the
preliminary practice of the batteries
was arranged. Washington rink has
been selected and work will begin to-
morrow The pairing of the batteries
has not been agreed upon yet, but 1T is
probable Krieg will catch Klopf and
Winkleman. Graves and Parsons pair
off. leaving Sterling and Rehse for Jor-
dan. Krieg will probably play oftener
than any other catcher, Oh account of
his batting, which is relied upon to win
many games.
NOTES.
The changes at the ground are nearly
completed and the improvement is
marked. Owing to miscalculation, it
will be impossible to put backs to the
seats in the ladies' stand, as was ex-

comfortable, Notwithstanding.
Arrangements will be made with the

BROKE THE RECORD.
Twenty-One Men Struck Out by
Krock at New Orleans.

New ORLEANS, March 31.-The Chi
Cages had to submit to another defeat
yesterday at the hands of the New Or
leans club. 1t was hardly the fault Of
the club, however, except that it was
unable to solve the delivery of Emile
Geiss. who is Chicago cast-off, and for
whom London and New Orleans are
now fighting. Krock, the Oshkosh
youngster, certainly pitched magniti-
cent game. 1t was considered Won
derful performance when Crane struck
out sixteen of the locals, but Krock
broke the record yesterday and struck
out twenty-one. The youngster has
plenty of head and curve and speed,
and it was his superiority that lost the
game. Neither Hoover or Farrell could
hold him, and the game was won and
lost on passed balls. Hoover hurt his
thumb in the first inning and retired,
Farrell finishing the game. Duffy played
short and did some fine work. The game
was witnessed by q good crowd, and
was very exciting. In the first inning
ming on two passed balls and Sneed'S
sacrifice. In the second inning New
Orleans made run, although KrOck
struck out four men. Bradley's third
strike was missed, and a wild throw to
second and passed ball let him in. Chi
cago tied the score in the fourth. Sulli-
van got first on balls and Duffy hit safe.
Arson ran on strike-out and was re-
tired, but the others took base each.
Pfetfer hit to right and the ball got to
first ON time, but McVey fumbled it
and Pfeffer was safe, the other two
scoring in the meantime. The score
stood tied until the locals came to the
bat in the eleventh. Geiss was hit by
the pitcher, went to second on passed
ball and came home on wild throw to
third. The ball reached the plate on
time, but Farrell dropped it. Never
theless the Chicagos kicked and came
off the field for a short time. New Or
leans could have spared the run, for
when the game was resumed KeinZle
hit safe to center and scored Oh passed
ball and Powell's single. Chicago
popped up easy flies in the eleventh and

A Trophy offered.

An enthusiastic gentleman in New
York city, Thomas Ii. Hall, proposes to
offer magnificent cup, valued at from
$500 to $1,000, to be awarded to the club
winning the worlds championship for
1888. The cup is to become the property
of the club winning the championship
this season, and it will not have to be
put up again next year, as with the
''Dauvray Prize" The proposition
was received few days ago by Presi-
dent Young, and with his Characteristic
modestY, he accepted it on behalf of the
league. This cup does not figure in the
spring series between the Detroits and
the st. Louis Browns, but will be open
for competition between the winners of
the league -oand American association

Sunday Ball in Kansas City.

When the Kansas City club was given
the eighth place in the American asso-
citation it was loudly claimed, and still
is, that another excellent Sunday town
had been secured, and the advocates of
Sunday ball were and are jubilant. At
this time it is extremely doubtful
whether Sunday games will be played
in Kansas City this season. There is a
small but influential law and order
group in Kansas City, and it has already
served notice that it will prevent Sun
day ball playing if possible. President
E. E. Menges, of the Kansas City West
ern team, says it is very doubtful
whether Sunday games will be allowed
in Kansas City this year.
