broueh, Conibar. Stone and Dickson rode
n quadruplet n mile in 1:41 20, and-fh

daily pra ctice for the big smokelcss powder
tourna ment to be held next week. II. A.
Peprose is also doing great preliminary

Mexican alta ched his name to C1evc-
land contract yesterday, at an Increased

II now appears to be settled that there
will be a number of important changes in
the makeup of'thc Philadelphia baseball
team next year. Arthur Irwin's contract
then try to secure the Toronto Club In the
Eastern League. The Philadelphia Club
has already chosen its manager to succeed
Irwin, and his name is William Stettslinc.
The latter is at present secretary and treas
urer or the club, and he Will also act as
manager.
Tim Murnanc says that as a conse-
Quence of the failure of umpires to COM
pei players to observe the coaching rules,
perhaps it would not be a bad idea to
allow no one but captains on the coaching
lines, and compel all others to remain on
the bench. This woald entirely prevent
the unseemly noises made by certain
coachers on the lines, and the practice
of bowling at the pitcher with no other
point in view than to attempt to rattle
him, which is as unfair as unsDortsmanlike.
The Gripping of Brooks in the game with
the Indians ON Wednesday is giving the
Pennsylvania team much concern. 1t is
now believed he will not be able to play
again for many weeks, and Winds has been
put in training to take hi place.

at Philadelphia tomorrow.
E. c. Wollman, the ex Official handi-
cappcr OF baltimore, has, through his law

1t is claimed that Mr. Wollman paid
money to n Glass A man for his appearance
on the track, and he offered to handicap
an unsancuoned race meet.
