TLlKER-
DUFFY.
MCCARTHY.

Duffy and Hamilton of Philadelphia have
been exceptions to the rule. Both are
small in stature, though stockily built, and
they rate among the leaders of the League
batsmen Duffy is also an excellent fielder
and brilliant base runner.
Mccarthy, like Duffy, is n little man, but
good ''sticker." He is also known as a
tricky player" In this last respect he and
Duffy work like a team. They are together
in the batting order and aid one another
more III making runs than any other two
ball players in active service Duffy and
Mccarthy have done more than any other
couple on the Boston team to keep the
championship in that city, and for this rea-
son they are always spoken of in one con
uection as if they were Siamese twins.
Clifford Carroll is another veteran of the
team, In time served on the diamond he
ly been referred to rs Grandfather Carroll.
He made his best record while member of
the Providence team some years ago, Last
year he played in St. Louis, and theyear be-
fore he was a member of Anson's team,
but he has done better work for the Bostons
this season than he did for either of the
other two clubs.
Carroll's great weakness has also been
his fondness for liquor That vice pulled
him down from his former well earned rep
utation as player But this year by care
fully refraining from even an occasional in
dulgence be has returned to his old time
form" and given Boston good service.
Such is brief sketch of the Boston base
bali team champions of 1891, 1892 and 1893.
It should be interesting at this time to ev-
cry American who has the slightest interest
in the great sport. o. p. CAYLoR.

liable one in Chicago. The Park Avenue
wheelmen of Philadelphia have probably
offered more strange prizes than any other
club. A lawn mower, a laundry bill for
year and a ton of ice are sample prizes con-
tested for at their meets,
"The strangest thing they ever sprung
on the bicyclists, however, was their offer
of a coffin and burial plot to the winner
Of one race. Not a rider at the meet pos
sessed nerve enough to have anything to
do with such grave undertaking. There
were no entries for the coffin and no fu-
neral procession raced for it and the burial
lot
"At St. Louis last May the boys planned
little surprise in the prize line for George
K. Barrett of Chicago 1t was announced
that the prize in one race was to be select
ed, but every man entered except Barrett
knew what the victor would get So when
Barrett swung into the stretch and began
his sprint every man pretended to be push
| ing pedals for all he was worth, but Bar
rett's mind was fixed longingly upon the
glorious possibilities of the unknown prize,
and after putting up heart breaking raNS
he crossed the tape proud winner. The
unknown prize had long whiskers and
greeted him with deep 'n-a-a-ahp 1t was
billygoat.
"At Rome, n. Y, in May, 1891, some nov
ell prizes were given to participants in pa
rade. Among them were dozen photo
| graphs for the handsomest man in line, a
washtub and wringer for the newest mar
ried man. and set of false teeth for the
man who needed them most"
| A full list of the odd prizes that have
been won by wheelmen would make a
volume of very amusing reading. Accord
| ing to French paper, the following prizes
were recently given in a race for amateurs;
First, a cycling suit, second, a book on
horticulture; third, 10 rolls Of wall paper;
/ fourth, 100 packages of cigarette paper. At
| Cleveland recently a live pig was one of the
trophies captured by a victorious rider
! The prizes that seem to be particularly
popular with amateur wheelmen are 5000
pianos, $3.50 diamonds and $3.50 bicycles, or
such mere trifeas team of fast trotting
horses and a Windsor trap recently offered
as the star prize of the Baltimore meet. A
ton of coal, too, is never refused.
Arthur A. Zimmerman, the king Of all
amateurs and winner of the unprecedented
number of 100 races this season, has taken
into camp at least $500 worth of prizes
since the wheeling campaign opened. 1t is
interesting to compare his winnings with
those of Harry Wheeler, the king of the
Cash Prize league. Professional Wheeler,
who is riding a wheel for cash principally
and glory secondarily, has only netted
about one-fourth the amount represented
By the pianos, diamonds, watches, horses,
etc., won by Amateur Zimmerman, who
in the eyes of the League of American
Wheelmen, rides for glory pure and sim

Boston uniform for IsyI lie, too, Is a

which largely accounts for his long service
Oh the diamond
Merritt is young and made his reputa-
tion during the early part of the season.
The Louisvilles had him ON their team last
year, but didn't think enough of his play
ing to sign him in the spring. The Bostons
gave him chance, and he rushed to the
front in the first month as one of the most
successful catchers in the League. He led
the Bostons in batting and eXcelled in his
field work. Unfortunately he was injured
in one Of the midseason games and laid up
for some weeks. Since his recovery he has
not done so we'll
Tucker is considered one Of the best first
basemen living and also the noisiest coach
er. He never lacks for interest in his clubs
success and his recent drunken escapade at
Cincinnati while in uniform is deeply re.
gretted by all who like earnest ball play
ing Tucker will surely be punished by the
League at its annual meeting next month.
Bobby Lowe was brought from Canada
by the Bostons when the Brotherhood re-
bellion made such havoc among that clubs
men, He turned out "a winning card from
the very start and won host Of friends by
reason of his modest demeanor and steady
habits and good ball playing Last year he
played in the outfeld, but when Quinn was
released Lowe was placed at second base.
Though the position was new to him and is
one of the hardest to play on the diamond,
be has filled it most creditably
Herman Long is a Chicagoan and began
his career in the west. He, too, is one of the
stars who sprang up during the Brother
hood revolt. He is a peculiar fielder, One
day he viii make the most marvellous
stops, and the next his work may be miser-
able. But Long is what is known as a
winner, and his occasional dumps are more
than offset by good play at other times.
In Nash the Bostons have the peerless
third baseman of the country. No one dis
putes the title with him. He may have
had his equal when Denny and Sutton
were at their best, but in these modern
| days he stands alone in excellence. Billy
is Virginian and possesses those gentle
| manly, chivalrous characteristics which
have so long distinguished the men of the
| Old Dominion.
Hugh Duffy ranks as one of the very
best out and out batsmen in the country.
| Nearly all the leading heavy hitters of the
| past have been large men, like Anson,
| Kelly, Dalrymple, Brouthers, Jones, White,
| Ewing and O'Rourke-men who have in
| their turn stood at the head of lists But
