YACHT RECORDS BROKEN
In a Little Regatta for Fun
Yachting Notes.

Il 4NOAOSs
The regatta at White Bear yesterday,
for which almost every boat on the lake
was entered, was a disappointment.
Only two boats braved the rain and
wind, the ''Nushka." Captain }. P.
Elmer, with l.. P. Ordway, part owner,
Leedon Sharp and Homer P. Clark as
crew, and Sunshine" j. H. Ramaley,
captain, and E. A. Gray, Ernest Birch
all, F. R. Whitewell, Lawrence Black
and B. F. Goodwin as crew. w. b.
Chaplin, the only member of the regatta
committee present, decided to postpone
the race one week, on account OF the
small representation. The two
boats, however, started around
the course for fun, and the
midst of binding rain, Mr.. Birchall-
of the crew of Sunshine, acting as time
keeper. The start was made at 1881 :21.
Sunshine being II seconds ahead OF
Nushka. At the point of the island the
Nuskha pulled away; but at the Dell
wood buoy she lost few seconds. en-
abling the Sunshine to pass the buoy
seconds ahead, at 3:52:23. Around
the Mahtomedi buoy the NuShka was
again ahead, and increased its lead at
the homeStretch, crossing the line l
shine. at 4:36:2O, making the run in
l hour and 5 minutes, and beat
ing the best record over the
course by 5 minutes. Sunshine beat
the best previous record by almost A
minutes. This is the first time the two
boats have been tried in race, and the
result shows how closely the boats sail.
The time allowance given the Sunshine,
on account Of the greater length and
sail area OF the Nushka, makes the diff
ference only 35 seconds. After the race
was over nearly all the boats on the
lake appeared. but too late to join in
the fun.
Eugene Ramaley was out Saturday
afternoon with a large party of friends,
but did not enter the regatta.
j, w. Taylor and W. z. Jewett were
| too late for the regatta.
1t was charming sight to see the
crews of the rival boats drinking each
| others health after the race.
Lawrence Black is spending day OF
two at the lake before his departure for
! England.
The Helen showed up we'll for a few
minutes Saturday afternoon, and will
show good speed.

HOW THEY STAND.
Relative Positions of the Teams in
Four Leagues.

Relative Positions of the Teams in
Four Leagues.
The Western Association teams are
using the st. Paul weaklingS as sort of
barometer. Each of the six leading
teams gets nice boost on meeting the
Apostles, and, if very near the top, they
move right into first place with
out difficulty. For instance. Min
neapolis ran along in the lead
until St. Paul reached Denver,
when the Mountaineers ran into the
position Of pace maker; After the game
to-day at Denver st. Paul will go to
men up peg. Then the Apostles will
Brewers chance to take first place.
All this is very nice for the other fell
lows, but ST. Paul patrons of the game
are getting very sick, and are becoming
outspoken in their desire to have
the club misrepresent some other
city awhile. II Lincoln is will
ing to give the management
few dollars for the franchise, it had
better SELL Scarcely bakers dozen
people will turn out to see the aggrega-
ton play ball in st. Paul. The team
has won but one of the last eleven
games played and only two on the trip.
The struggle for the pennant is the
prettiest in the history of the assOcia-
ton. Just now Milwaukee is playing
the steadiest ball and may jump into
first place this week. Minneapolis is a
little crippled, but Morton is hustling
and proposes to stay right In sight of
the leader The record:

A BATTLE OF PITCHERS.
Cowboy Conway Shuts Out the
Minneapolitans.

Special to the Globe
KANSAS CITY, June 14.-The game
to-day between Kansas City and Mime
apolis was an excellent one from
scientific standpoint, but there was not
enough hitting to please the crowd
which attended. The only run made
was in the eighth inning, and it was
earned. The two errors made on each
side were such that no harm was done
and the score was not changed by the
making of either of them. 1t was
really pitchers game from beginning
TO end. and both Conway and Mitchell
were in very fine form. The home team
had a little better fielding record than
the visitors on account of the fact that
Conway was hit harder than was Nit
chell. There were several phenomenal
catches and put-outs, especially the one
made by Manning in the third inning,
when he jumped for badly thrown
ball and caught it in time to put out
Dugdale. In the fourth inning it looked
like run for Minneapolis, but Miller
was caught at the plate, where lie had
gone from first on Mitchell's double.
The ball was thrown from deep center
by Burns to second base and forwarded
home in time to catch Miller. There
was little of interest in the game from
that on to the eighth, when Minnehan
went out on a fly to center and Ryn
made a scratch over the pitchers head,
and came home Oh Hengle'S tWo-bagger.

and Buffalo were never able to make
money when base ball interest
was at it's height. How they
can make any this year / cannot

sunk by each league this year than
there was made last year. Indeed, Bos-

think it would help the matter at all
if either league were to adopt a
non-conficting schedule. Interest out

would do no good. Interest in
New York is perfectly dead. People

There is no more healthy exercise
than horseback riding, and this season
there appears to be a revival of the
sport. For several years but few have
availed themselves of the diversion, and
the art of horsemanship has been fol
lowed only by those whose delicate
health required saddle work and by
others who loved the excitement. From
all accounts the interest has been re-
vived, and from now on parties OF
horsemen and horSew0men will be the
rage. In commenting on this subject, a
well-known sporting authority says:
ANY one with half an eye can see that
the riding fad is going to accrue to the
benefit of racing and thoroughbred in
terests generally. 1t will open new
market to broken down race horses,
for as soon as riding reaches
higher general degree of per-
lection, the riders will scorn
common saddle horses and go for bit OF
blood; something by HindoO OF Rayon
dor; something that has a record to
boast of. AS riding makes new converts,
these converts will begin to take an in
terest in racing; to witness professional
eft to some extent. Finally, it will be
only question of time before the rid
ing clubs will experience the spirit of
emulation amoug their members in the
art of riding and the merits of their
horses. Out of this will come match
races. then sweepstakes, and ultimately
race meetings open to members: Anna
teur race riding will then flourish, and
leading jockey clubs will find it to their
interest to offer races for amateurs"
This is exactly the spirit which animat-
ed the Twin City Jockey club in pro
viding a race for amateur riders during
the forthcoming meeting at Hamline.
So popular is the move that the race
cannot fail of being great success,
both as far as number of entries and
the race itself is concerned. The en-
tries closed yesterday, and, it is stated,
| have come up to expectations.

The Cincinnati team keeps up its
great playing, and now has comfort
able lead over all competitors. The
team, however. has had soft marks
lately in the Pittsburg and Cleveland
teams. The big ones are coming along
next, and the sailing will not be so
smooth, but the red legs prom

The Eastern contingent is just getting
ready to make its first Western trip.
The attendance at the National league
games is becoming better, and there is
a noticeably more cheerful feeling.
There is pretty general impression,
however, that one of the leagues will
weaken very soone after the Fourth of
July. The record to date is given be-
