THE CHAMPION GIANTS
Will No Doubt Play This Season
at Staten Island.

New YORK, Feb. 23.-There is now
very little hopes left of the Polo
grounds remaining on One Hundred
and Tenth street and Fifth avenue, and
the followers of the New York team are
doing considerable amount of guess
ing as to where the club will play the
coming season. President John B.
Day has been out of the city for the
past week, but he has left instructions
with his partners, and they have not let
anything slip by them. Manager Mutrie
is making notes and securing maps of
all the grounds that come, under his OBJ
servatiOn. He stated that he did not
think that there were so many ball
received up to yesterday amounted to
twenty-seven, comprising from build
ing lot to a ten-acre field, but he had
not applied for any of them yet. Every
body in Long Island City would like to
see the Giants play there. Mayor Glea-
son is DESTROYS of locating the club
there, as it would build up the city and
make property very valuable, but it is
not likely that the Giants will 90 such
distance. 1t is understood that the
owner of the Coogan property at One
Hundred and Fifty-ffth street would
let the club have it at a very reasonable
figure if he could secure stock in the
club, but the president of the New
Yorks has refused to make any such
arrangement. There is no stock for
sale no matter how much money is put
up. If the club leaves the Polo grounds
it will surely be found next season on
Staten island, as the Jersey City
grounds. like Long Island, are quite
distance off and have poor accommodate

here next season reminds me of funny
incident that occurred in 1882, when we
were both members of the Buffalo club.
1t was in Springfield, Mass, and the
Buffalos were playing friendly game
with the Holyokes, or, as a Lowell
IriShman once termed them, the Holly
hooks" remember Dick Burns, Martin
Barrott and Sam Crane and the HOl-
yoke nine. The Butfalos were in the
field and the Holyokes had man on
first, when the batter struck the ball to
Hardie Richardson, who was playing
secoHd. Richardson touched second;i
then threw to the initial bag and COM
pleted double play. The umpire did
not give the man out on second.
Whats the matter?" inquired Richard
son of the umpire. matter enough, 2
replied the umpire; ''you never touched
second" YOU'RE a dandyn' Richard
son cried out. Then turning to all
the Buffalo players, Richardson yelled
out: II never touched second: down.
everybody down." Quick as flash all
the Buffalo players were on their knees
and looking heavenward in prayerful
attitude. But the funniest part of it.
all was to see ''One-armed Daily" with
one hand (all be had) raised toward
heaven and the stump of his amputated
arm pointed in the same direction. Ross
Barnes, who was present at the game,
said it was the quickest and funniest
move he ever saw on ball field.

They Are All of the New Rules
That Are Worth Remembering.

Here is digest of the new rules for
1889. They will do to paste in your hat,

mated from the pitchers box.

seat themselves OH players bench at
conclusion of their behalf in the field.
Game not ended until ball has been

his place in the field at the end of any
inning.
Foul tips will not be out
Bunted balls will not be strikes unless
willfully blocked off foul.
Four balls, instead of FIVE, give a
base.
Base runner entitled to take one base

THE LONGEST THROW.
1t Is Settled That Crane Did Not
Beat Hatfield's Record.

Beat ii aGnclUS hcCOfU.
New York Clipper.
The Clipper never recognized the al
legged throws made by Ed Crane, be-
cause they were not properly authenti-
Gated. Now, for the first time, we are
enabled to give the facts in regard to
Cranes alleged throw of 1874 yards
inches, Oct. 10, 1884, in St. Louis. The
st. Louis Sporting News of Feb. 9
says: $50 far as Cranes st. Louis rec
ord is concerned we can speak
by the card, the writer "a. II.
Sphinx. managing editor of the Sport
ing News having on that occasion acted
as judge of the throwing. Crane threw
on wager between President Lucas, of
the ST. Louis Unions, and R. A. Brown.
a local enthusiast. Brown bet Lucas $50
that Crane could not beat Hatfeld's
throw. and Lucas told Crane that he
would give him the $50 If he won it.
Crane made five attempts, each time
throwing the ball from a point near the
bulletin board in Union Park to point
near the home plate. When he had fin
iShed his longest throw was measured
by Capt. Bill Richards, then superin-
tendent of Union Park, and In the pres
ence of witnesses, and the measurement
proved that Crane,in no one of his trials,
had beaten Hatfield's record. This being
the only question at issue, the writer,
who also acted as stakeholder, handed
over the stakes to Brown, Crane getting
nothing whatever for his pains. His
best throw then was 131 yards inches.
The record was good one for the rea-
son that Crane threw across the wind,
which was blowing briskly at the time.
AS nothing was said in the wager about
the wind he would have thrown with it
but that would have necessitated his
throwing South to North, something he
could not do, as the park, between these
two points, was too narrow to display
his Skill, and Lucas insisted on the
throw being made in the grounds, where
all the spectators could see 1t. This
should settle once and for all the record
made in st. Louis by Crane, in so far as
his beating Hatfeld's great throw is
concerned"

A Few Great Games.

The most remarkable League game
on record. says Chadwick in the Sport
ing Life, was that played at Providence
on Aug. II, 1882, between the Provi-
dence and Detroit teams, which re-
quired eighteen innings to be played
before the game could be finished-and
then it was won by to o by the Pro-
violence team. 1t was in 1877, however.
that series of phenomenal contests
took place, the following extra inning
games of that season being unequaled
in the annals of the game:

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Feb. 23.-The
season of negotiation among base ball
managers has not yet closed. There is
still uncertainty in the Western associa-
ton as to various players, and the ex-
change of letters and consideration of
proposals will continue for a little
while yet. The rule limiting the month
ly expenditure for salaries to $500 cuts
quite a figure in calculations. and
managers are making honest efforts
to observe it. Although the man
ayers of the Milwaukee club mad en-
gagged FIVE players before the rule was
adopted, it is believed the limit will not
be exceeded. There will be only thir-
teen players, as the manager is a good

DENVERS Ola MOND.
Negotiations Closed for Grounds
on the Gable Line.

NcSOCIdtIOnS OIOScu lOT UfOuuuS
on the Gable Line.
Special to the Globe.
DENVER, Col, Feb. 29.-Manager
Rowe on Monday last closed negotia-
tons for the site of the grounds. They
will be located out Broadway street, on
20Ox300 feet. The grand stand will
have a seating capacity of $500, the
pans of which are not yet completed.
1t is about ten minutes ride from the
city to the entrance of the grounds. So
owing to the recent illness of Mr.. Rowe.
Season tickets have been placed on sale
and are meeting with ready sale. They
are placed at $40. and admit to grand
stand for all games played by the as
ISOLATION team. A state league of anna
teur clubs has been formed, and
is composed of four clubs at
present, but it is expected to have
SIX before the season opens. The
cities now represented are Denver,
Leadville, Pueblo and Colorado Springs.
The salary limit is placed at SIS a
month. James Mclaughlin is the man
ager of the Denver team. 1t will use
the ASSOCIATION grounds when that team
is absent. 1t has been a query in the
minds of a good many Of our base ball
lovers who was the power behind the
throne in backing the league club in
this city. Their question was answered
during the past week when season
tickets were put on sale. The syndi-
cate is composed as follows: w. l..
Van Horn, president; W. l.: Van Horn.
vice president; w. L. Van Horn,
treasurer; Dave Rowe. secretary
and manager. Thus it is to be
seen that the popular young
sporting goods man, W. l.. Van Horn,
is the prime mover in the case. This
alone is guarantee of its success. He
has no stockholders to consult or please.
He puts in his own money and can run
the affair as he chooses. His past eX-
perience in business and as leader of
amateur sports in this city is guaran-
tee that the club will be run on bust
ness principles, and it is the wish Of
every one that his effort will prove sue
cessful. We do not boast of pennant
winning, ETC., but with Dave Rowe at
the head we do claim that other men,
berS of the association will have to
''rustle" if they get game from us.
We do not put ourselves on paper as
the coming champions, ETC.. but when
the season opens Denver will be in the
race. and will be three when the home
stretch is reached. The men signed up
to date are Pagan, McQuaid, Dalrymple,
Dolan, Silch, McAndries and Smith,
third baseman of California league.

Emulatipg Edison,

Genius will make itself felt in every
station of life, especially if that genius
be of the inventive kind. The base bah
profession has several embryonic Edi-
sons; for instance, Ted kennedy. the
ex-Omaha pitcher, has patented a catch
er's glove which is said to be superior
even to the Ewing or Arthur Irwin
glove. Besides. here comes McGun-
nigle, who, it is claimed, has invented q
spike that every player in the land
would use if they could get them. The
spike is patened, and will be manufact-
ured soon for the market. The beauty
of the new article is that player can
take them off the shoes and put them
on when he gets to the grounds.

it looks very much as though Cleveland
