"Cyclone" Jim Duryea, one Of the pitchers
on the Cincinnati League team, is an inter-
esting character. Good natured and always
ready for fun, he takes great pleasure in try
ing to throw the ball clear through the back
stop, hence his title of the "Cyclone" When
Jim became old enough to join the st. Paul
(Mhn.) team, in 'S6, his father, who was q
great ball crank, told him he would deed him
farm II he pitched winning ball for year.
"Au right" says Jim, ''the farms mine."
And he got it.
At one time four rival managers were after
him to sign him for their respective CLUBS.
There Is a law in baseball affairs which makes
it impossible to sign player before a certain
date. On the night before the expiration Of
this time these managers were close after
Jim, keeping sight Of him every moment. In
some way John Barnes induced him to join
in game Of poker at the hotel. Wine was
plenty, and everything went Jim's way. He
was not aware that it was prearranged to
have him win and so keep him interested un-
til midnight. Barnes also stationed two stall
wart ''coons" outside the door, with orders to
slug any one who tried to gain admittance.
Promptly at midnight Duryea's name was
signed to the contract, and the game turned.
J. c. Rowe, who Is now playing on the Buff
falo Players League team, is hustler ON the
field and a model Of propriety of it. He

serenity. just before tho close Of the
presidential contest Of 1883 Mr.. Randall
predicted his end. Said he in conversa-
tion with an acquaintance: "This is the
last general election that shall live to
see. did expect until recently that we
should carry the next house. and that I
should stay here long enough to see the
party in good trim for the next presiden-
tial campaign, but have ceased to expect
that. Icannot shake of this disease, and
the doctors cannot cure it. Probably as
much as can hope for is to outlast this
administration" Then the doomed man
dropped the subject, and few minutes
later was the smiling, cheerful center Of
a group OF friends.
Mr.. Randal's illness dated back for at
least five years, but the physicians did
not ascertain for some time that the
cause OF his ailment was an extensive
and malignant abscess. Once this fact
was established they gave him no hope

JOHN O. ROWE.

JOHN q. ROWE.
y b not too much to say that it was the best
club in the vicinity. bar none, and he was its
mainstay. Rowe came frola baseball fami-
ly. His brother Dave, now managing the
Denver team, will testify to the following
story, II he has not forgotten it: In the town
Of Jacksonville, Ills, where the Rowes lived,
John was looked upon as "kido while his
brother Dave was the big gun Of the local
club. One day John came ON the field and
played in a practice game. He displayed such
remarkable aptitude for the game that thu
members of the team unanimously asked hin
TO join. Only one man objected, and that
was Dave. He did not want to play second
fiddle to his skid" brother, but he was obliged
to come of his high stand. Rowe is one Of
the famous Big Four that went from Buffalo
TO Detroit He is ney er made conspicuous by
his behavior ON the diamond. Modesty Is his
chief characteristic.
Dan Brouthers, the leading batter Of last
year, now with the Boston Players League
club, Is o sufferer from personal admiration,
20 they say. Before the season began, while
he was on the trip south, young college
pitcher struck him out Last year 1t was
long time ere such q thing occurred, and
when it did happen Mickey Welch was the
man who did il. When Dan famed the air
recently he felt called upon to vindicate his
reputation as slugger. His excuse was
given In this language; Last season every
pitcher had but one idea-to strike me out.
This made 1t very hard for me to obtain more
than two or three home runs day and had
the effect Of lowering my average. This year
determined to strike out early and save my
record"
Arthur J. Whitney Is on the list for good
playing this season, and II last years work is
any criterion this handsome brunette will
cover third base and scoop up grounders with
that ease and graceful style so familiar to all
who follow his actions Arthur is not q star
player, but reliable as the sun and always on
hand at critical times. One Of his most note
worthy fielding fssts at third base was In the

Michael J. Kelly, the premier among ball
players, the $4,000 beauty and the hero Of
many adventures both on and on the field, is
admittedly the greatest trickster in the pro-
fesion. One Of his favorite games with new
pitchers b to stand outside the coachers' lines
when there Is a man on third base, and then
ask to have the ball thrown to him, ON pre-
tsnse that 1t Is ripped or otherwise unfit for
use. II the pitcher is not on, he will toss the
ball o. requested and the base runner makes
for the home plate. As base runner he has
few superiOrs. In recent game he made
hit that to an ordinary player would have
been q good single, but Kelly wanted more.
Quinn, the second baseman, was waiting with
the ball in his hands, but Kelly threw his
body out and shot his hand In, grabbing the
bag - be went by. 1t was . remarkable
slide, and no one but the king of base runners
could have accomplished the move.
Another Of his tricks is cutting across the
diamond when the attention of the umpire Is
directed elsewhere He has been known to
cut from second base to the home plate, also
to call player to the plate in discussion
and then bluif the umpire into calling him
out. Yet, Notwithstanding these little pecu-
liarities, he is ball player from his feet up,
and always plays to win. As a batter he is q
daisy. He bats altogether with his wrists,
and strikes at everything, often jumping
two feet from the plate in his eagerness to
knock the leather out of sight.

ark club Of the Eastern league During the
next three seasons he played with the Balti-
more club, filling the position Of first base In
upwards Of four hundred championship
games Tucker is q hard hitting left handed
batter and ranked first in the official batting
averages of the American association in 1889.
In one game he made five safe hits, with
total of twelve bases, and seven successive
safe hits out Of eight times at tho bat in two
games played in one afternoon. He is indis-
pensable as a coacher, and has few equals in
that line of baseball work. During this sea-
son he will fill the position left vacant by the
resignation Of Brouthers, Of the Boston club
of the National league. He has been men,
toned as captain of the team.

The Lowslls also that season defeated the
famous st. Louis team by q score Of 3 TO 0,
and played ton inning game with the Rhode
Islands, Of Providence, In which no runs were
scored. On Sept. z, 1877, At Lowell, the Bos-
tons defeated the Lowells by q score Of to o,
and Whitney was credited with two Of the
four hits made by his team Whitney re-
mained during the season of 1878 with the
Lowells, who defeated the Springfield club
that season by to 0 in q thirteen inning
game.
In 1879 and 1880 be was a member of the
Worcester club, the latter year being wor-
cester's first season In the National league.
In 1881 Whitney was engaged by the Detroit
club, that being Detroit's first year as
member Of the National league. He re-
manned with the Detroits throughout the sea-
son Of 1882 During the season of 1883 and
the early part OF 1884 he played with the
Saginaw Mich.l club, Of the Northwestern
league. When that club disbanded in the
summer of 1884 Whitney went to the Pitts.
burg club, where he played throughout the
seasons Of 1855, 1886 and 1857.

New York, April 17.--A president q
one Of the big pie baking establlshmsnts
OF this city who has head for figures
recently figured out that nearly - ,O00,-
600 pies were eaten In New York every
year.
This sounds like fairy yarn, but
when figured out it allows just fifteen
pies q year to every man, woman and
child In the city. One pie will out Into
four pieces, fifteen pies will make sixty
pieces, and one piece eaten every six
days will make fifteen pies year. There
are great many In the city who eat ten
times this amount Of pie every year, and
there are great many who mover CT u
at all.
The average cost Of . pie IL ten cent?.
and thus the average amount OF money
spent In this city for pic each yskr q
q, 900, 900. There Is . pie for every 60
son Of the year--mince pie for winter,
apple pie for fall, winter and spring,
huckleberry pie for summer, and peach
pie, plum pie, cherry pie, cranberry pc,
pumpkin pie, custard pie. pineapple pie,
lemon pie, rhubarb pie and every other
kind Of pie for almost every week II The
year. Mince pie IL said to havs the hig-
gest sale, and In one bakery alone tons
Of mince meat are made every year,
and forty barrels Of apples are chopped
mp every day.
The average pie II foot In diamster,
20 in . single year the citizens Of this
city eat more than 4, 500 miles Of pie. and
In less than two years and half they
will have eaten enough pie to have
formed band Of pie crust around the
earth at the equator.
The average pie 10 two inches thick
and II placed one on top OF another
the pie eaten In two and half years
would reach to the height Of thousand
miles. Taking tho average weight Of
pic as one pound, tho total weight ccs,-
sumed In one year would be 12 800 tons.
II all this pie were put In one heap and
the average weight carried away BY

reliable men are always chosen; but honesty

sessed by the same persons
Men Of unquestioned integrity have been
almost hooted from of the field for erroneous
decisions, which were mistakes Of Judgment,
In calling balls and strikes. The hardest men
to be deceived by pitchers, while acting in
the official position Of umpire, are men who
spent years behind the bat in tho catcher's
capacity. Among them can be named John
Kelly, Robert Ferguson and "Phil' Powers.
For that reason, the recent selection of "Bil-
