IS rather commonplace. There are good
oatsmen and good f1elders on the team.
It is true, but the ensemble is far from
being uniform; there are also inferior
ielders and batsmen. The outfieldars
20 a man are weak throwers. The in
field is exceeded in merit by several
other teams. AS a collection of bats
men their averages. year after year,
show that they rate well down in the
ist.
But the team does not need extraor-
binary fielders or very strong batsmen
20 win. When Rusie and Meekin are in
prime condition, opposing clubs are for
:unate to score half a dozen runs on an
average to a game against their pitch
ing. This is half the battle. If the
:eam can then make one or two more
.han the half dozen, they win. Had
Rusie and Meekin the Baltimore. Phil
adelphia or Boston team behind them
.hey would win many, many more
games than they would lose; and If
either OF those teams had Rusie and
Meekin lin the points" they would be
odds on favorites in the pennant race.
1t is this pitcher strength which gives
New York such a grand chance to win
the pennant this season. says the Her
aid. Neither Rusie nor Meekin settles
down to his most effective work till the
warm days of June. But then they both
grow more and more effective to the
md. That is why the Giants are known
as poor starters but great finishers. If
they can. therefore, keep within strik-
ing distance Of the front till they return
rom the west, and no accident happens
to either of their great pitchers. no
club in the league will have a better
chance for the pennant. For when some
IF the strong starters are weakening or
letting down. the Giants will be, as
usual. making their run.
But RuSie and Meekin should have
some efficient help in their work. The
club has 132 games to play between
April Is and September 30. inclusive.
The two star pitchers can probably al
END to one hundred of the number be-
tween them. This leaves q score and a
aalf to be assigned elsewhere
The club has on its pay roll four
pitchers. Of which German is the only
one who has winning record in the
National league. During the two
months at the end Of the season of 1893,
when he came to New York from the
south. he pitched seventeen games and
won a matority-nine. He led all the
other pitchers in effectiveness. as was
shown when the official figures came
out. Last year he was recovering from
severe winters illness and was not
serviceable to his club. This spring he
shows a much improved form. but it is
100 early to decide what he will be able
20 do. Should he return to his 1893 form

opinion 1t would make little difference
whether we have q three-minute round
and one-minute rest or four-minute
round and two minute rest, except that
the two minute rest would give an ex-
hausted man more chance to re-
cuperate. At present an exhausted man
cannot get well recuperated in one
minute. but a two-minute rest would
help him considerably. I object to this
part OF the suggested changes. I also
object to the term brutality being
used in discussing the rules. because I
do not think there is anything that
looks like brutality in connection with
them"
The champion was very pleasant and
very amiable. but in referring to the
two-minute rest he evidently overlooked
the fact Of the four-minute round.
which. to say the least, has a brutal
tendency, inasmuch as it forces a man
to remain fighting minute longer than
at present, and even Mr.. Corbett points
out the case of an exhausted man in a
three-minUte round.

AGAINST PRIZE FIGHTING.
A Person Who Attends a Fight

u
South Dakota Can BE Arrested.
The sports of Sioux Falls. S. D.. feel
decidedly blue over the new law passed
by the recent legislature prohibiting
prize fighting, and which will go into
effect the middle of June. The law is
very severe. According to the way the
mandate reads it will be very difficult
for newspapers. both inside and outside
Of the state, to get any information rel
alive to fights to be pulled off there
Section 4 of the new law. dwelling for
the most part on this particular point
reads as follows:
Whoever instigates. carries on. pro-
notes. or engages in any sparring or
boxing exhibition. or any newspaper
publisher who prints any challenge or
other notice relating thereto, shall be
fined not exceeding $500 or confined in
the county Jail not exceeding six
months.
In the event of it becoming known
that battle is about to be pulled off
the way the law reads now it will be
possible for the authorities to arrest
the supposed participants, hustle them
off to Jail, and place them under bonds
to keep the peace. Probably the most
interesting of the whole law is section
3. 1t is drawn up in such a manner
that a person who attends a fight lays
himself liable to Imprisonment in the
penitentiary for not less than one nor
more than five years. A fine of 81, 200
is also imposed. A second or surgeon,
or a person who advises. encourages or
promotes such q fight. is liable to inn
prisonment for term Of years not ex-
ceeding five and fine of $1,0O0.-Ex-

OPPOSED TO CHANGES.

Champion Corbett Says No Club Has .
Right to Alter Boxing Rules.
James ]. Corbett. talking Of the pro-
posed changes in the boxing rules. as
advocated by the Olympic club Of New
Orleans, declared himself opposed to
making four-minute rounds and two
minute rests. Said he:
In the first place I do not see where
either the Olympic Athletic club or any
other club has the right to change the
rules. Boxing rules. as far as we un-
derstand them professionally. have been
adopted by universal consent. and it
must be only by universal consent they
can be changed. If enc club has q right
to change the rules. then another club
has q similar right. and. that being
granted. we cannot avoid having al
kinds Of boxing rules. This would b alb

Oriental Religions in America.

OfieMt3I ReHgI0nB IN AmettC8.
Oriental religions find their Ameri-
can converts much inclined to schisms
and secessions unless permitted to die
tate the discipline and lay down the law
to the brethren. The sultan wisely
chose an American to introduce the re-
ligion of Islam into this country, and
Muhammed Webb wisely manages to
keep his mosque unattractive to any
but the orientals domiciled here. The
theosophists, on the other hand, have
taken in too many American neophytes
and sre now breaking up into sects.
