Pitcher Cuppy Wins Yestcrday's Game
From tie BaltimOrenns.
Cuppy won yesterdays game for the
Temple cup at Cleveland for the Cleve-
lands. The Baltimores could not touch
him. He pitched the game with the thumb
nail of his right hand torn loose. 1t hap
pened in the second inning. Carey batted
a singing grounder toward center field,
and Cuppy threw out his hand and tried to
stop the ball. By that operation he nearly
lost his thumb nail. Blood spurted from
the wound, and it looked as though Cleve-
land would have to be in the dumps for
the remainder of the week, but the sturdy
player kept in the game. and eventually
saved it for his team. Cleveland hit Hof-
fer hard.

States championship and the associations

On the whole, the westerner's task was a
light one. Sands utterly failed to push him
to any great extent, and the match
amounted to a practice game for McDon-
aid But he reeled off holes at a rapid rate
in the afternoons play, giving the spscta-
tors idea of how he might play. Sands,
however, gives great promise, and, were he
to stick to golf, would make a strong bid
for higher honors next year. He clearly
lacked form. wherein Mcdonald is very
strong Summary:

American Cricketers Going to Eng
land Next Year.
WILL MEET TIE PROFESSIONAL TEAMS
Steps to Be Taken Soon to Ar
range PreIiminaries.
PROSPECTS OF SUCCESS

Following right on the heels Of the three
International cricket matches in this town,
says the Philadelphia Press, comes the
news that the Gentlemen of Philadelphia
eleven will take a trip to England next
year and play some of the crack elevens on
the other side. This, Of course will in no
way interfere with the International
matches with English elevens in Philadel-
pkia next fall, for the Americans would be
abroad during the two latter weeks of May,
the month of June and the first fortnight
of July.
This matter has been under careful con-
sideration for some time. and while no
formal meeting has yet been held to adopt
resolutions and formulate letter to send
abroad, 1t has been as good as decided in a
certain quarter to take the step in the very
near future, probably before the end Of the
month.
The cricketers, whose object it is to send
a team to England, will make inquiries as
to the willingness and ability of the play
ers to 60 Having seen their way clear in
formal letter sent to c. w. Allcock, secre-
tary of the Surrey Cricket Club, to make
matches for the team In Great Britain.
This letter will probably be on the water
would be in the touring party, and the trip
could be made at the expense of about $500
per man, or a little less than 5000.
The question of expense will never enter
into the question, not that extravaganza
will be advocated, but there are too many
ardent cricketers in Philadelphia to permit
such project falling through for lack of
funds. The Gentlemen of Philadelphia
played abroad in 1884 and in 1859, and they
can do it again in 1896. On those trips
they betrayed all their expenses. the money
taken in at the gate being donated to the
oricketers' fund, a sum for the support of
old and decrepit players.
On both the former trips the Gentlemen
of Philadelphia did not play the full
strength of the counties, as they barred the
professionals This time, however, our men
will not insist on this and meet the best
teams Of the counties in which they play.
A member of the Gentlemen of Philadel-
phia eleven that played against the Cam
bridge-OXford team, in speaking of the
proposed trip yesterday afternoon, said:
play three matches every two weeks, or
about dozen in all. The teams Mr.. ALL
cock will be instructed to schedule us with
are the Gentlemen of Ireland, Oxford Uni
versity. Cambridge University, Middlesex,
Worcestershire the great Grace's county,,
Darbyshire and the like. 1t is very improb-
able We will play Yorkshire, Surrey and Lam
Cashire, as they are the three strongest
counties in England now and would be
little too much for u.s.
How do the Gentlemen of Philadelphia
rank with the English county teams?" was
asked.
We will probably lose more games than
we win; about seven out of twelve, say"
How will our players show up on the
other side?"
Our men will bat better on the English
boWlers will do equally as we'll abroad as
at home"

Stockings. During the season of 1869 the
Red Stockings travelled all over the United
States without losing game. 1t was while
member of this club that Harry Wright,
in a game at Newport, KY, June %. 1867.
made seven home runs. the record to this
day.
In 1871 he was engaged to play center
field and captain the Boston club. After
the National League was organized Harry s
Boston team won the championship of that
organization in the seasons of 1877 and
1878. He remained with the Boston club
until the end of the season of 1881
He was engaged in 1882 to manage the
Providence club. and it finished second in
the championship race that season and
third in 1883. Harry Wright in 1884 was
engaged to manage the Philadelphia club,
with which he remained until the close of
the season of 1898. when he was made chief
of the league STAFF of umpires, position
which was created for him. and which he
held at the time of his death.

HARRY wR1GHT's CAREER.
The Most Widely known Man in Base
ball Circles.

Harry Wright, chief of umpires of the
National League of Base Ball Clubs and
ex-manager of the Philadelphia National
League club, whose death was announced
in yesterdays Star, was sixty years of age.
He was taken i'll in Philadelphia ten days
ago, and thought a trip to the seashore
would be beneficial He grew worse. He
had catarrhal pneumonia.
Harry Wright was the most widely known
and perhaps the best posted base ball man
of the times. Honest in his dealings with
managers and players, he established an
enviable reputation. He was born in Eng
land in 1895, but came to this country with
his Parents a year later. His athletic
career began as a cricketer. He played
with the st. George Cricket Club Of New
York when but fifteen years of age. He
commenced to play base ball in 1857. when
he was center fielder for the famous Knick-
erbockers of New York.
In 1866 he went to Cincinnati and helped

Strangely Thrown Together.

From the Chicago Times Herald.
DIR. E. Fernia, who has an office in the
chamber Of commerce building, yesterday
became acquainted with DR.. Darling of
1929 Lake avenue, under peculiar, circum-
stances. DR.. Fernia takes a bicycle spin
every afternoon, the weather permitting.
Yesterday he was riding along Rush street
when his wheel struck a stone, throwing
him into an open carriage that was pass
ing. In the carriage was DR.. Darling. DIR.
Fernia apologized for the prank Of his
wheel and handed DR.. Darling his card.
DR.. Darling laughingly accepted the apol-
ogy and gave DR.. Fernia his card. AS the
physicians parted they shook hands and
promised to call on each other socially.

California Mentioned.

San Francisco paper says there is a
strong probability that an effort will be
made to have the Corbett-Fitzsimmons
fight take place in San Mateo county, Cal,
under the auspices of the Colma Athletic
Club. Months ago some prominent San
Francisco sporting men got the officials in
San Matee county to allow prize fighting.
A strong undercurrent of influence was
brought to bear on those officials, and the
several fights which have been held at Col
ma would not Justify the amount of pres
sure which was put in motion to get the
fra nchise.
1t is openly stated that the prize-fightng
permit at Colma was obtained with a view
OF getting some big fight, the Corbett-Fitz-
simmons physical contest preferred.
Dan Stuart. the manager of the fight,
said yesterday that he had three places in
view, two of which he named as Mexico
and the Indian territory. The third place
he omitted to mention. 1t is believed that
he had California in mind.
