aUARTETTE OF GOOD ONES.
President Hart Thinks Highly of
His New Men.

Speaking of Callahan, Denzer, Connors and
Preston, the new men the Chicago club has
secured from the Western league, President
Hart said yesterday:
Callahan was recommended by every per-
son in whom we repose confidence. He is
pronounced the best fielding pitcher in the
game, and many say his equal was never
known in getting to first base to receive a
throw of the first baseman. In addition to
that, he is a splendid batter and does not
care much what the style Of pitching Is. AS
for his own work in the box, the highest
praise is given him. He is a second Griffith
in style, but Is said to be even better and if
that is the case he is certainly good enough
for u.s. He has a puzzling slow ball which
he mixes in with fast one and the best
Of batters are fooled by such a change.
"Denzer is even better recommended than
Callahan. Little was told of him by the st.
Paul management until after we had signed
him. Then Charley Comiskey said we had
secured another best pitcher in the world.
and that he had not said anything about it
for fear we would consider that he had tried
to sell us a gold brick IL he talked too
much about the new man. Comiskey consid-
ers Denzer and Callahan the best pair of
minor league twirlers that ever entered the
big league, and has heartily congratulated the
Chicago team in securing the pair. Denzer
is said to be a second Young or Rusie, being
extremely large and with marvellous speed
and command. His work in the box is not at
all finished, but this is his first year on the
diamond, and for that reason many excuses
are found for him.
''Connors was purchased by the Chicago
team from the Joliets at the same time
Decker was signed, but he was disappoint-
ment, he had lame ankle at the time
and was not able to do himself justice. That
was in 1892, and with four years practice he
has developed wonderfully. Preston is the
man who played third base for the Louisviles
last season. He is said to be one of the fast
est inflelders ever seen. He was released by
the Louisvilles because that team was max
ing frequent changes and did not even give
a

cellent hattar' -

GRAND RAPIDS, Sept. 13.-The Mill
ers took a double-header from the Gold
Bugs this afternoon by superior all
around playing. The last appearance
OF the SO pennant winners for the sea-
son drew a larger attendance to Alger
park than was expected. DR.. Parker,
In the first game, showed the difference
between pitching for Grand Rapids and
Minneapolis, and his good work, which
far surpassed anything he did here
while playing for Ellis, caused the
crowd to roast him literally. Settley,
an Eastern pitcher, sent here from
Ellis Eastern team, was in the box for
both games at his own request, as he
reckoned on winning the second one
The last was too much for him, how
ever, and after eleven runs had been
made he quit in favor Of Kid Luther,
who held the champs down. Bakers
pitching in the second game was a
feature. Two of the four hits made off
of him were of the scratch order and
on grounds that were good would have
been easy outs. But for bad errors by
Connors and Preston, he would have
shut the whole team out. In the first
game hits by Schriver, Werden and
Connors in the third inning, a hit by
Connors and an error by Settley in the
fifth, and a base on balls, sacrifice
and a hit in the sixth gave Minneapolis
five runs.
Grand Rapids runs were both
earned, one being a homer by McFar-
land. This game was sharp, there be-
ing five double plays and any number
of good stops. The second game was
dull and uninteresting, the visitors bat
ting hard all the time. Deacon Ellis
Atlantic association team won the pen
nant in that league by winning two
games today, and Immediately after
the games left for this city to finish
the season. From the two teams Ellis
will pick a winner for next season.
Score first game.

O'DElA AT HARVARD.
Wisconsin's Aquatic Coach Finds
a New Place.

Andrew ODea, formerly in charge of the
University OF Wisconsin oarsmen, who met
with such phenomenal success East and West
this year, Is no longer associated with ath-
letics at that institution. Some Eve weeks
ago, when O'Dea was in Minneapolis he re-
ayers asking for the terms upon which he
would go to Harvard next year and super
intend the training Of crews. At that time
O'Dea was unaware what terms would be
offered him by Wisconsin and the offer from
the East was held in allegiance until such
time as a definite understanding could be
secured with the Badgers. After the regattas
Lurltne crews, he returned to Madison, but
the final proposition from. Harvard was
so hattering that the Australian decided at
once to accept 1t.
ODea's principal task will be to fit the
1897 varsity crew for it's races, and this he
believes will be the opportunity for which he
has been seeking since his arrival in this coun-
Harvard Craftsmanship, is not to be attributed
to any superiority on the part of Yale
physique, for the same opportunities in selec-
ton are open to both institutions. O'Dea
thinks that the Harvard people have formed a
set of erroneous ideas about rowing of
which their minds will have to be disabused,
and then there will be a chance to make
them win races
Just what policy the new coach at Har-
ward intends to pursue is a matter that will
naturally remain secret at present Before
starting East O'Dea said that Harvard would
probably be a strong candidate for honors
in anything she entered next season. but he
would not say what differences there would
be between his Wisconsin methods and those
will be considerable difference he admits,
however.

When an athlete performs a great
feat like Anderson's mile in one min
ute and three seconds behind a train,
great interest is aroused in the man.
1t is always popularity supposed that
such man must be much stronger,
or have bigger muscles, or more agile
than his fellows, according as his per-

The pictures of Anderson in racing
costume that have been published all
over the country since his ride give
but little idea of the physique of the
great racer
In general physique and actions he
strongly resembles Fitzsimmons There
is no facial resemblance between the
cyclist and the red-headed puglilist,
however, and Anderson's shoulders are
not so broad as the other mans either.
Anderson walks like Fitzsinlmons,
with long, swinging stride, and
slightly stopped, and gives the same
general appearance of loose ointed-
ness. He is refined, however and
his movements, which would be clum-

NEW YORK STOCKS.
Close Weak at Sharp Fractional Net
Losses.

NEW YORK, Sept 12.-Speculation in
stocks today was dull and the movement Of
prices irregular, but mainly trending low
er. There was not even suggestion of other
than of professional interest. News of in
creased political excitement abroad, regarding
the probable immediate developments in the
Leyant and of the depression In the London
market, was supplemented by declines in
the prices of American securities at that
center, and the local market opened weak and
lower at declines extending to 1 per cent.
The downward movement was checked after
the first half hour, and recoveries occurred
in most instances. A number of stocks made
up the entire early loss. The improvement
was based upon expectation Of an exception
ally favorable bank statement as a result of
the heavy gold imports. The exhibit proved
disappointing, gain of only $3.50 ,275 in legal
reserve being shown, while deposits fell off
81, All, 500. The explanation given was that
the shipments Of currency to the interior had
been considerably above the estimates, and
that the gold imports only figured for five
days in the statement. Shipments through
the sub-treasury during the week averaged
about $500.00o a day. and the banks shipped
fully much. In the last half hour prices
again receded. and the closing was weak at
sharp fractional net losses generally
The local sales OF stocks today were g. 745
shares, including the following: Sugar 49,

Kraus and Hollingsworth played about as
finely in the first game as any pair who have
struck Bennett park this season.
Several of the players who ran the bases
poorly tried to knock the ball out of Spies

Spies is UP to such tricks as that.
Instead of sharpening up their spikes for
the st. Paul club 1t would be well for the
Tigers to put their wits on the grindstone and
wear off a few dull and nicked edges.
1t is tough to have to part with pitcher
like DenZer just because one-sided 'tprotec-
tom forces a manager to. He is a very
valuable pitcher and has improved continually
this season.

There are many interesting facts con-
nected with Anderson's ride that have
not been printed. One of them is that
he pedaled faster than any bicycle
rider ever did before, except on a home
trainer. To make this plain to those
who ride wheels 1t is only necessary to
SL0tC lIldI lille III one minute
and three seconds on 92-inch gear,
which Anderson used, Is equivalent, as
far as pedaling is concerned, to riding
a mile in two minutes and six seconds,
on a 46-inch gear.
He made three and one-haf revolu-
tiCns of the pedals each second, or 210
to the minute, which is fair speed for
the fly wheel of stationary engine
He covered "a feet Of ground each
revolution of the pedals, or "a feet
second.
The wheels on the bicycle made 720
revolutions in the mile, or 685 per min
ute, which is a high rate of speed for a
circular saw.
AS stated in the reports of his ride
Anderson pedaled as fast as he possibly
could and says he could not have rid
den any faster with that gear. He re-
Gently received a wheel built especially

to 120 inches. The front sprocket wheel

weighs % pounds. Anderson thinks he
can pedal nearly as fast with this gear
after getting up speed, as he did with
the 92-inch. If that is possible he will
be able to ride mile under the minute
easier than he rode it in 1 :03 He has
not made public his plans for the next
trial nor given out the date but 1t is
understood that it will come off within
three weeks on the same track where
the last one took place.
