BASEBALL GOSSIP.
The Year 1880 Will Long Be
Remembered.
A GREAT BASEBALL SEASON.

Sketches of Prominent Players Who Have
Signed for the SeasoIi-The Philadelphia
Clubs New Battery, the Athletics New
Pitcher and Others.
Unless all signs fail this promises to be
great baseball year There Is more interest
in baseball then ever before.
Why?
Its easy enough 20 see why.
The globe trotters did it.
Just review in your mind the trip they
made around the world. First there was
talk of an Australian trip. The scheme was
discussed all over the country. Then the
players were selected, then it was determined
to make trip around the world and then
the boys started Follow them around the
globe circle Recall how the reports Of their
games were cabled home Remember the
excitement they kicked up in Rome, then
how they drew crowds in Paris then how all
England was excited, and finally the grand
wind up il New York.
You want to know why this is going to be
a great baseball year, do you' Well, that's
the reason. That trip will not be soon for
gotten, and it has given an impetus to the
national game.
Let US look at some of the new players who
expect to do big work this year.

Hadn't Seen His Brother.

As the story goes, Dick was one dull day
last summer indulging in fire of repartee in
McGeary's place with several well known
statesmen when one of them said suddenly:
''Dick, have you got any sporting blood in
you2"
TRY me, was the response
"Well, then, III have to bet you ten dollars
that you are the homeliest man in the cloak
trade"
Now, see here, didn't come In here TO be
insulted," retorted Mr.. Snigglefritz hotly
well, that's my bet, and my money goes
up. will lot the stakeholder be the judge"
II think I will just have to go you," re-
torted Dick after he had given a casual, sur
veying glance about the room, and then, as
he put two five dollar bills in the Shareholders
hand, he inquired: ''The bet is that l am the
homeliest man in the cloak trader
Eyes"
'That goes, does itP'

Casting his eve towards remote corner,
Dick called out "Ikey, mine brudder, come
here" When the latter came up Dick turned

SIT costs so day to maintain this tourna-
ment," salt ,e doorkeeper 10 Tho Sun man,
land the play viii last seven weeks. There
are twenty contestants and each must play
twice with each other one; twice, so that
each player VIII have the advantage of the
first move against each other player. The
first round of games occupied three weeks,
beginning with March 25 The second round
will last four weeks, in all probability because,
there is what we call by day for the play
ing out of all drawn and contested games.
These may take several days, of course"
The hall of the tournament is rectangular
room the length of an ordinary house. The
floor is softened with strips of thin carpet,
and the whitewashed walls bear few photo
graphs of groups of chess players, an oil paint
ing of Paul Morphy and few stenciled an
Inducements on cardboard. The lower half
of the hall is where the contestants sit, and
they are roped in by means Of what pugilists
call ring, made OF pine posts, from enc to
another of which runs line of red picture
cord Five feet apart, in two rows, stand the
tables-plain white pine kitchen tables, each
with huge chess board ON it heaped with
chessmen. On two sides of each table are
vanished high backed chairs. There is a
space around this roped in inciosure, be-
tween it and the walls and here the specta-
tors congregate-one or two near the greater
number of players, and a dozen or a score
huddled together close to the more skillful
players, or the players whose games happen
at the moment to be acutely interesting to
those who are masters of the subtle game.
There is a big card swung overhead in the
inclosure 1t reads:

farmer father would say when corn planting
BEGAN. ''for Just rs soon as the corn's in the
ground you can have whole day a-tishin'."
And then all the fortnight's work would be
gloriied for the eager boys, The first
Thought was for "a good spot for fshin'
worms" Certain places about the garden or
orchard were for some reason famous for
angle worms An old tin bucket was the IA
vorite to hold the bait The heavy old hoe,
often hammered out Of discarded mill saw
by the rural blacksmith, was the instrument
for unearthing said worms, which were
placed in fresh earth in the bait bucket that
they might retain life and health during the
brief term remaining for them, till they
should be impaled to tempt the scaly prize.
There is an old and not very appetizing story
told along the Wabash about a once noted
fisherman whom a neighbor found one day,
seated by the creek, and accosted thus:

'Why don't you speak plant Whatcher

The old fellow had formed a sudden design
to fish on seeing the creek, had dug his bait
with a stick and was holding the reserves in
his mouth Till he should need them. There is
no other case of man so devoted to fishing.
LOOKING FOR SIGNS.
The night before the promised day was al
way one of mingled JOY and anxiety to the
farmer boys. Would it rain' Would the
wind be rightl How eagerly the heavens
were scanned just before bedtime, and how
gladly Young hearts beat if the great vault
was serene and blue. Sometimes it was lit

radiance, the air is just little too soft and
seductive and the deep blue above seems a
little too lovely and, if the expression be al

usual. But if all is well, then awake, happy
bows. at the first blush Of dawn, dig pait by
the earliest light, eat breakfast in eager haste,

The Macon Ga.l team, of the Southern

He, with O'Day, was sold to Washington in

"f Hanlan and the rest Of them had to lug

This remark was recently made by Josh
Ward, the old time single SOUL champion o.
America, and the best known of the famous
four brothers who wrested the worlds cham
pionship from the English on Saratoga Lake
In 1871.
A Boston Herald man interviewed him
When the picture here given was made Josh
was champion of America. A tall, raw
boned, smooth faced youth, with sloping
shoulders, bit of stoop, and not an ounce
Of superfuous fat to I'LL the lines that map
out his smooth, hard muscles. He does not
look much different now. He was q then;
now he Is 81.
Continuing he said:
''The boats and rigs have been improved
wonderfully, and I think the men have
learned to do their work easier, but it don't
seem to me they get the speed they ought

be sure, we had a spread of feet inches to

pounds of lead in the loom of each oar to

that l like. We didn't have any anti-crab
square backed oars then, and tell you Ike
round loom and a straight pin to pull
against-no lost motion there, and you get a
leverage just as soon as your oar touches the
water"
Then, Mr.. Ward, you believe the improve
ment in boats and rigging has done more to
break the old records than any improvement
in the men, their training or in the science Of

CONVERSATION
STRICTLY
PROHIBITED.

Now a word as TO how the tournament
seems to one who knows nothing about the
game. On each table there is what is called
q pair of tumble clocks-two nickel Yankee
clocks nailed 10 an ornate seesaw board of
olive wood, one clock being always in the air
and ticking violently while the other is down
almost on its side, dead and noiseless Each
player must make fifteen moves in an hour,
therefore each player has clock which he
tits up and sets going whenever it is his turn
to play. The clocks all tell different time,
but that makes no difference Since the
starting movement Of each Is recorded and
every play of every player is also on record,
it is easy to understand that when thirty
plays have been made by any player the
time indicated by his clock must be within
two hours of the time at which his turn to
play began. These tumble clocks, therefore,
serve the purpose of stop watches They are
an English notion. They compel fairness in
play, since they put all players on an equal
ity. If a player could take all the time he
needed he would see much mere than player
who had some regard for the time used in
game.
AL is silence. Often there is only one man
at a table, His opponent has gotten up to
stretch bis legs Perhaps he has gone out for
walk Think of a game 50 slow as that
Compare it In the mind with horse race or
game Of baseball Without looking at an
encyclopedia 20 verify the thought, it seems
to an onlooker that chess must have originated
in China or India Where there are two play
ers seated over their board the only way spec
ctator has Of knowing which man Is playing Is
by looking at the tumble clocks on the table.
The one that is ticking is, Of course, next 20
the man who is playing. But both men are
leaning back in their chairs and both are apt
to be pulling their rIustaches or biting their
lips Here and there one sees both players
staring at the board between Ten, but more
often the only display of interest in the hoard
is seen in an occasional glance 1T it by the
man whose clock Is ticking
