Brief Reference to the Work of the
Little Flyer. 81
During the past two seasons Pulsifer's
main reliance has been Tenny, now
five-year-old horse. by imported Rayon
d'Or-Belle of haywood. Tenny IS a
small, misshapen animal, with badly
swayed back, giving no indication Of
speed, although he is one of the very
greatest race horses in America. He as
as fast as he is game, but is stubborn,
and has been defeated in a number OF
famous events. and lest thousands OF
dollars for his owner through habit or
sulkii1g. AS athree-year-old Tenny was
already a wonder. Among his great
and successful efforts then were
the Fort Hamilton and Volun-
teer handicaps and the Passaic,
EatOntOwn, Choice, Van Nest, Electric,
and Pelham Bay stakes. But his great
est race was in the Realization stakes,
worth S34, 100 to the winner. for which
he reached the wire nose and nose with
Salvador. The latter was given the
verdict, although the majority or the
spectators will always believe that the
Judges were III error. Last year Ienny
was a still greater race horse. Out OF
thirteen races.he finished first IN elgnt
fixed events. Three times he met his
old opponent, Salvador, and was de-
feated each time. but the result OF THIS
series made 1t plain that Pulslfer's
horse was the speediest in the world
but one. Tenny won in stakes last
year $25, ,7S0.

ST. Paul yesterday afternoon to con-
slider the matter of a referee. The
names of Danny Needham, Frank
Glover, Jimmy Manning and Joe Mali
nix were suggested, and the last named
was settled as man who would be
likely to do exact justice to both the
parties in interest. MIR. Mannix will
accordingly act as referee Oh Tuesday
night. Both the pugilists are in fine
shape for the contest, and there is little
question that one or the other will be
put to sleep before the ten rounds are
up. Kellher has been training at TT.

through course of sprouts short time
since. His habits are regular. lie rises
about $50 in the morning, takes walk
of half or three-quarters or "a mile,
breakfasts, rests half an hour, then
puts on his sweaters and starts out on
the road. occasionally accompanied by
some one, but generally alone, as the
rate at which he travels is not one that
would be adopted tor pleasure. The
forenoon walk covers about seven
or eight miles out This is made in a
regular walk on the way out. but COM
ing back he varies it with frequent run
ming sprints, slowing down now and
then to recover his breath. AS might
naturally be expected this puts him in
fine glow and works off all supertiu-
Gus matter. When he returns to his
quarters he is taken hold OF by McCar-
thy and a couple OF assistants, sub
iectcd to a brisk dry rubbing, then
plunged into bath, the water being at
a temperature of about 70degrees. Com
ing out of this he is again vigorously
rubbed. A rest for half all hour pre-
cedes dinner, and again after dinner a
rest is taken till 2:3O. Then follows a
couple of hours fighting the bag and eX-
ercising with Indian clubs and dumb
bells. Kelliher uses two-pOund bells
and pound clubs, and claims that
none heavier should be used. 1t is the
active exercise and not the heavy
weights that deveI0ps the muscles. In
punching the ball he adopts regular
ring rules, three minutes work and then
a rest of one minute, keeping this up
for eight or ten rounds. and he goes at
the ball Just as he would all opponent.
The exercise is far from easy or gentle,
vet care is taken that there shall be no
OVERRIDING it. This being over, another
bath and rundown is taken, and is fol-
lowed by supper. A lay-off for about
an hour follows. and is succeeded by
brisk walk of mile or so before retir-
ing. Kelliher is in bed every night at

ERRATIC FRED sCHMITT.
A Good Story Told OF the ST. Paul
Pitcher

AGood Story Told OF the st. Paul
Pitcher.
The st. Paul club of the Western as
sociation has signed Fred Schmitt, the
strange pitcher of last years league
team at Pittsburg, says the Chicago
Post. Schmitt will be remembered for
his odd ways when in this city. evil
loW'' relates a number of anecdotes
about him. Schmitt took sudden notions
while in the box and changed his de-
livery without consulting his catcher.
Every means to change his mind proved
futile. He remained obstinate and
threw the balls past the batter without
paying the least attention to the re-
monstrances of catcher, captain or man
ager. He acted by starts and fits just
as the impulse struck him. The
day before he shut out the Gin
cinnatis Schmitt took Berger with
him to buy some shirts. Berger
wanted to buy some of the same, but
had no money with him. He borrowed
81 from the pitcher. Next day Schmitt
pitched great game, the Cinclnnats
getting only three hits and no runs.
Schmitt was proud boy then. After
the game he came to Berger and said:
Berger, you owe me $4.'
81 know | do; Pll pay you as soon as
we reach the hotel" answered the
catcher.
Sehmltt calmly went down in his
pocket and drew out 81.
Berger, here, take dis. / all de
times bay de man what gives me good
subbort. Dis makes us schquare. You
hear?'
Berger looked at Schmi lit in utter
amaZement.
Decoration day Schmitt pitched in the
morning game at Boston. Things went
along smoothly until the fifth or sixth
inning. when crazy notion struck the
erratic pitcher. He paid no attention
to the signals of the catcher. Berger
tried his best to get him on the right
track, but Schmitt was obdurate. Final
ly Berger complained to Hecker, and
both walked up to Schmitt to induce
him to switch off. Schmitt listened at
tentively to what was said. and then
broke out:
Berger. am de peecther; you are de
ketcher. | peech de ball, you ketch
dem. Now you go back in your cage
and ketch the balls some more"
''Shut up. you lump-headed Dutch
man, or Tll punch your head" said
Berger between his teeth.

Alleghenys was against the Chicagos,
on June r. Probably nobody enjoyed
the game as hugely as he did. He was
| wild. hit big Anson in the ribs, gave
twelve bases on balls and forced in three
runs. He was crazy with delight. The
Chicagos hammered him numerically,
but this only seemed to add to Schmitt's
delight. With big grin he watched
the ball shoot from the batter's stick
and danced gleefully when it struck the
ground. He kept up continual jab-
Der, but paid no notice to anybody. The
game went tosChicago by score of 16
to3. Schmitt walked the plank after
the game. He joined the st. Pauls
shortly after, and has been signed by
that club for next season.

BELMONT's PRINCIPLES.
He Was Always Certain of His
Ground Before Betting.

Though frequently placing bets on
other peoples horses, Mr.. Belmont
would never do so until satisfied by the
horses owner that he (the owner) had
backed him all that he desired to do;
then he would sail in and frequently
bet quite sum of money, often more.
than the owner did himself. In the
race known as the Excelsior stake, at
Saratoga, some years ago, Mr. Belmont
started good tilly, Finesse. and. with
the addition of Hamburg and Chill
licothe, the race promised to be
great one. A then unknown
horse by the name of FrOgtOWn
was also a probable starter, and few
days befole the race he ran fast trial,
up to that time the best work ever done
at Saratoga at mile with shoes on.
The people controlled the horse
thought they alone were aware OF his
startling work, but Mr.. Belmont's then
trainer, jacob Pincus, saw the move
and noted the time. The day before
the race Mr.. Belmont went to him to
canvass the situation, and Pineus told
him Finesse had fine chance to beat
Hamburg and Chillieothe, but" added
the astute trainer. mot that unknown
Western whirlwind." Why" said the
usually silent jacob. "he will walk
home" Mr.. Belmont seemed surprised.
but said nothing, and that night strolled
into the pool room, as he was won't to
do, but it was to be noticed that he
seemed more interested in the entries to
the races than usual.
The first pool on the stake in question
was soon sold, and in an Sl,S00 ticket

knocked down, but each time Frog
town, who always sold last of all, was
reached no one seemed interested in
him save a wiry, shrewd-looking Ken
lucky gentleman, who quietly bought
every pool. Finally the latter turned
to go away, and Mr.. Belmont accosted
him. at the same time inQuiring if he
had bought all the pools he wanted. An
answer in the affirmative brought out
the remark from Mr.. Belmont that
Jacob had told him that colt would win,
and from that time every Frogtown pool
fell to the bankers bid. The race was
run the next day, i'll spite of hard
rain, which nearly precipltated post
ponement, but Frogtown proved he
liked the mud as we'll as dry track by
leading from start to finish and winning
as he pleased. 1t is probable that Mr..

THE CHICAGO MEETING.

or Two.

1t Is Likely to Develop Sensation
or Two.
The developments in the Western
Base Ball association the past week
were neither numerous nor startling.
The meeting, however, at Chicago
Thursday is likely to turn up trump
in the way OF sensation. There will
be present representatives from the
eight old cities and three or four
new ones, and there is likely
to be bitter fight on the naming
of the cities which are to constitute the
circuit of 1891. indianapolis. Toledo
and Grand Rapids want to get IN, and
they could probably do so quietly by the
purchase of the franchises of Lincoln,
Denver and Sioux City. A hitch may
come. however, in the eXorbitant prices
the far Western teams will ask, and it
may become necessary for the larger
cities to take summary action to get rid
of the little towns. The prospects for
an interesting time could not be better
