cheers by the audience, which .he gra-
ciously acknowledged. 1t is generally
conceded that Upham's signal victory
over Pitzlin last night was due to
Dempsey's coaching. The "NonpareiP'

and is as supple as cat. Under the
direction of Tom Maher, mis- old trainer,
and Mike Conley, the Ithaca Giant, he
is getting into the pink OF condition.
He is now undergoing the hardening
process and exercising to increase his
wind. Every morning he is out on the
beach after light breakfast playing
ball, and if he hits Fitzsimmons with
the same force and power he sends a
base ball spinning down the beach he
will soon put the New Zealander to
sleep. The afternoon he spends in the
gymnasium of the Athletic association
in punching the bag, swinging dumb
bells, boxing and other athletics. He
was seen this evening after he had got
through with his exercises and an effort
was made to draw him out on his forth
coming fight. He was nOn-cOmmittal,
but quietly said:
Twelve thousand dollars is big
purse, and man ought to do his best to
win it. This | shall try and do, and L
understand Mr.. FitZsimmons is game
man. l presume he will do his best to
win it. Who will be successful the
fight on the night of the 14th will tell.
As to my condition Inever was in bet
ter trim, and regard Galveston as a
splendid place to train. The people
are kind and hospitable, and have
treated me with great cordiality. You
must, however, excuse me from COM
menting an the approaching fight. L
shall, however, do my best not to disap-
point my friends"
Dempsey has become a universal
favorite here and next Saturday night
the Galveston Athletic association will
give him mplimentary benefit at
their hall. SJust prior to his departure
for New Orleans, he will be heavily
backed by the Galveston sports. d. W.

Stern claims that during his connec-
tion with the Cincinnati club he spent
$4,000 for players, and still he never
got within hailing distance of any pen-
nant. No other club in the association,
outside of the Brooklyns, and very few
in the National League, let money go TO
secure players in such lavish manner
as did President Stern and those asso-
ciated in the base bali business with
him. During his connection with the
club nearly $780, 900 was spent for new
talent. 1t cost the club $3.50 to get John
Corkhll, $1,000 was paid the Wash
ington club for Frank Fennelly's
release. The Syracuse club took
$1,000 of the Cincinnati clubs money
before Ollie Beard was eligible to sign
with the latter. Tine Columbus club
got similar amount for Lefty Mari.
Cyclone Duryea came from the North
west, but the St Paul club got $1,000
for his release. Billy Earle came from
the same club and cost just half the
amount paid for the cyclone. Billy
Barnie pocketed 81, 500 for Frank Fore
mans release. Latham cost the Gin
cinnati management something like
$4,000. While nothing was paid another
club for Rhnes and Harrington, yet
these two great players were given a
bonus OF over 1000 to lie idle for part
of the season. so tl.at they might be
eligible to contract with the Cincinnati
club. Hugh NicOl was bought from st.
Louis and cost over 5000.

"What assurance have you," asked
Secretary Brunell, 'that the brother

ment?'
'Why," said AL, "theye are being
mailed to the brotherhood players to-
day 100 ironclad agreements that the
boys will be asked to sign before leav-
ing the secret meeting next week. In
this agreement the players bind them
selves not to sign with the National

ut 1T does not require the greatest ex-
penditure of muscular force to make a
long hit, but the proper meeting of the
ball and the putting Of the weight
of the shoulders into the stroke.
The bat should be firmly grasped
and the arms well Strengthened and free
from the sides when the ball Is hit. The
weight of the body is to be coming for
ward, and the trunk should be slightly
turning upon the hips.
''Early in the season 1t is best to strive
to meet the bail sduarely, rather than
to hit out hard, for this method improves
the eye and judgment far more rapidly
than indiScriminate hard hitting. After
good eye has been acquired the bats
man may throw more force into his Dat
ting, with certainty of meeting the
ball fairly. Sacrifice hitting and
placing the ball are usually mere mat
terS of luck to the average amateur, but
little attention to the principles of bat
ting will enable any batsman to acquire
some measure of control over the direc-
ton of his hitting.
IF the ball be met In front of the
base, and the forward foot be drawn
away slightly, the tendency of the ball
will be to go on the same side OF the
diamond as that upon which the bats
man stands; while if the ball be met
behind the base. and the forward foot
placed little nearer the base, the ten
dency of the ball will be to go toward
the opposite side.
1.-The ordinary batsmen will do we'll
not to sacrifice his hitting to any false
idea of placing all his hits, for he should
consider that when there are no men on
bases, unless he be thoroughly expert
enced batsmen, he will do best to assume
his most natural position, and not tc be
over particular as to the exact point to-
ward which the ball goes. If a nine
will but keep the ball going by sharp
hits, their opponents will be obliged to
play ball' to prevent scoring, and that
thought should be continually in the
mind of the batSman"

Herty, Greden. Hart and Guerrero will

of the GLOBE in its issue OF yesterday

wood would take part in the race in this
city, but only to indicate that Herty's
challenge to wager from $1,000 to
$1,000 that he can beat any man
in the world in a six day
walk was directed especially toward the
champion. LittleWo0d. as is we'll known,
is in England. The offer of the Twin
City Athletic club of $500 to the breaker
of the record will go far toward stimu-
lating the contestants to do their ut

knowing ones believe the record will
be broken. Danz's orchestra will ell
liven the walkers and the audience dur

zen will send the men off. Seats will be
reserved for ladies, the rink heated with
a dozen or more big stoves and re-

lent caterers. 1t is thought that the
management will also introduce matches

WHERE WILL WARD PLAY?
Day Will Try to Keep Him in
New York.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-John B. Day adj
mitted to-day that it was quite probable
that Ward would play in the New York
team. "Yes," he said, 1--WE have con-
sidered the advisability of playing him
in this city. think it would be good
move to keep him here. But if he does,
he will not get $1,000 salary" If every
thing moves right, the makeup of the
New York's intield will be ConnOr,
Richardson, Glasscock and Ward. AS
regards individual strength, this is one
of the strongest infelds ever made out.
A great question about it is whether
they will play together. The public has
been led to believe that ward will not
play ball anyway. Ward himself has
said so. SINCE he made the announce
ment he has undergone change, and
will play. Charles Ward, his brother,
says: John will certainly be found
playing bail next season. All reports to
the contrary are nonsense. John is look
ing out for himself" Wards ambition
is to be sole manager of some team, and
for this reason it is doubtful if he would
be willing to play in the New York
team.
