How The Cincinnati Reds Were
LassOed Out of a Game.

How The Cincinnati Reds Were
Lassoed Out of a Game.
An amusing incident happened in the
game of the Cincinnati club on last
Tuesday in Texas. says the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette, which goes to
prove how partisan are the patrons of
the national pastime in the Lone Star
state. Nicol reached first base on
an lnfield hit The Texas ''blOod-drink-
ers" were in the lead by a single run,
and naturally the crowd was worked up
to the highest pitch of excitement. On
the first ball pitched the champion base
runner of the association made bold
dash for second. By one of his pheno-
menal slides, for which he has long been
noted, he reached the base in safety.
The spectators were driven almost to
frenzy when by a similar feat little
Nicol anchored safely on third.
Two hands were out and ''Bid'' Nc
Phee was at the plate, Two strikes
look dubious for the Porkopolis boys.
was held spell-bound. He sneaked
few PAGES and then started back and
again edged up few PAGES. A moment
later, as the catcher tossed the ball to
the pitcher, he made wild rush for the
plate. A tremendous yell went up
from the crowd, and in the excitement
tall sombrero, covering Texan,
emerged from the spectators. The
little rightfelder was within few
PAGES of the home plate, and had
thrown forward his arm preparatory
for slide. Instantly the folds of the
Texans cloak parted and a lariat went
kissing through the air, and moment
later nestled about Nicol's neck, bring
ing him to the turf in heap. The
pitcher, recovering from his astonish-
ment, returned the ball to the catcher,
and the side was retired. Thus the
game was won for the sluggers of the
Lone. Star state.

ON TO AUSTRALIA.
SpaIding Has a Gigantic Scheme
OH Hand.

OH Hand.
"Al Spalding has about the biggest
thing in the way of a base ball venture
that the sporting world ever heard OF,
said F. A. Leland, secretary of the Min
neapolis Base Ball club and Spalding's
representative in the Flour City. He
has just returned from Chicago and is
full of the venture. "This scheme" he
continued, sis nothing less than
plan to make base ball
descent upon Australia, and show
the natives what American enter
prise can do in the way of sport.
Spalding has had this idea in view for
some time, but has kept it perfect Sc
cret until every arrangement was COM
pleted. Last Wednesday cablegram
FROM Sidney announced everything in
readiness, and as he will give it out to
the Chicago Sunday papers, you may as
well have it too. Several months ago
Spalding thought it all over and sent
Mr.. Lynch, who was Mrs. Langtry's
business manager, over to Australia to
make the arrangements. He pays him
$500 a month and expenses. His plan IS
to take two teams, composed OF the
flower of base balloon, and start about
Nov. l. Special trains and special
steamer will convey the party to Aus
tralia, where they will play exhibition
games for two months, returning about
March l, 1889. If the weather permits,
games will be played at Minneapolis and
st. Paul, Kansas City, Denver. Salt
Lake and San Francisco. The next
stop will be the Sandwich islands,
where a series will be played at Homo
lulu. Then the party goes direct to
Sidney.
will Australia be sufficiently up on
base ball to give the required patron
age?"
"Oh, yes. 1t is a great country for
sports and is very anxious to see the
Americans play their great national
game. 1t promises to support the plan
handsomely. Al Spalding knows what
he is about, and wouldn't go into this
unless he saw money ahead. No doubt
he has all the financial backing he
wants"
"Who will make up the teams?"
"That is not known yet. Spalding
and Arson will make them up and will
probably pick the best men of the ball
playing world. Just imagine the two
Splendid teams that could be organized
out of the material at hand"
This scheme will be blow to Man
ager Jim Hart, of Milwaukee, who had
hade up his mind to do the same thing.

CAMBRIDGE WINS.
The University Boat Race Results
DiSaStrOuslY for Oxford.

LONDON, March 24.-The annual race
between boat crews representing Oxford
and Cambridge universities took place
this morning over the usual course on
the Thames, from Putney to Mortlake,
distance of four miles and two fur
longs. The weather was dull. There
was an average attendance of specta-
tors. The Cambridge crew won the
toss for position and took the Surrey
side of the river. When Hammer
smith bridge, one mile and three
quarters from the starting point, was
reached, Cambridge was leading by
three lengths, and at Barnesbridgc,
one mile and three-quarters further on,
they had put five lengths between them
selves and their opponents. Cambridge
crossed the winning line five lengths
ahead of Oxford. Cambridge's time was
20 minutes and 40 seconds.

MISTAKEN POLICY.
The Folly of Permitting Club
Officials to Interfere With Team
MANAGEMENT,


When applied to base ball, the old
adage that ''too many cooks will spoil
the BROTH is, indeed, very true, says
the Sporting Life. One manager is suf-
ficient for any club, and the team that
is managed by more than one man can
not expect to make much of showing.
The trouble with number of our clubs
in the past was that they had too many
managers. Take the Athletic, Boston.
New York and Metropolitan clubs for
example. The latter club the past two
seasons, besides having manager, also
had a managing director. What was
the result? Too much managing pro-
duced conflict of authority, which not
only demoralized the team, but made
the players careless and Indifferent.
The trouble with these so-called bust
ness managers or managing directors is
that they know nothing at all about
base ball in general, and the handling
of a team in particular; but they
imagine they know all, and by interior
ing with the club manager, they not
only handicap him, but the team as
well. 1t is strange that the owners of
clubs do not profit by the example set
before them in reviewing the history of
the Metropolitan club, for instance.

Kilrain Knows How Now.

Jake Kilrain, in letter addressed to
Editor Fox, says: II was only a novice
at fighting by London Prize Ring rules
when you matched me to fight Jem
Smith for $1,000 a side and the cham
pionship of the world. My experience
with Smith, the champion of England,
and points l picked up looking at Char
ley Mitchell fight Sullivan, have given
me all the experience l need, and it
proves that to be a champion, London
Prize Ring rules are the only proper
conditions to fight by, for they give a
true test of science and courage" Kill
rain adds: Mitchell is foolish if he
ever fights again, because he can not
trust his hands, and they are liable to
go up any time."

ROCHE ENTERS A PRoTEsr.
He Denies Backing McAuliffe or
ANY Other Prize Fighter.

ST. LOUIS, March 24.-For some days
past the name of Richard Roche, of this
city, was heard in connection with the
matching of Jack McAuliffe and Billy
Myers, the Streater lightweight, to a
finish. 1t has been stated that Mr..
Roche was the hacker of McAuliffe, and
has been acting as such through agents.
To GLOBE correspondent this after
noon Mr.. Roche denied having any con-
nection with McAuliffe. He said:
eff anybody says that I am backing
McAuliffe he simply tells an untruth,
and | have told the same thing to every
one who has talked to me on the sub
aiect.s I don't want anything to do at all
fNitHprize fighters, and I will neither
bachGhem nor engage in any business
of Aany kind with them at all. Besides
that it is simply absurd to say that am
backing McAuliffe for any amount. I
have never seen him put up his hands,
and know nothing whatever of his
ability to handle himself in prize fight;
is it likely that would put up $500 on
a man that I don't knOw?"
Mr.. Roche added that McAuliffe had
no hacker in this city, and that there is
znesHaan here who would back the man
for that sum of money.

The First Book Opened in Louis

The First Book Opened in Louis
ville---Sir Dixon the FavOrite.
LOUISVILLE, March 24.-The first book
on the great Kentucky Derby has been
opened. The local pencilers have been
deferred from Offering quotations on the
event before now because of con tract
with Col. Clark, in which the pool rooms
of this city were pledged to sell no pools
on the Louisville races. The making of
book under the circumstances, there
fore, is attended with considerable risk,
because of the absence of all opportunity
to even up a top-heavy book through the
auction pools. But the pressure on
Waddill d Burt from the West and
South, as well as New York, has been so
great that they concluded to open one
anyway and take chances. 1t is turf
history here that no book ever made on
the Kentucky Derby succeeded in max
ing IA cent. They have invariably been
a losing investment. Here are the odds
offered, all bets play or pay, the figures

work was of a phenomenal character.
He appeared to have more speed and
better command of the ball than ever
before, and the white-hosed sluggers
could do nothing with his delivery. In
the fifth inning he struck out Sullivan
and Farrell, gave Pfetfer base on balls
and struck out Burns. Three more men
failed to touch the ball in the next two
innings. The only man who scored a
hit Off the Egyptian was Petit, who
made scratch by bunting the
ball, which took bound over
Hogan's head. Healey is bigger
and stronger than he was a year
ago, being about fifteen pounds
heavier, and if his arm holds
out the league batsman will have to
look out for him."
