CAROLS WIN THE STAR CUP


The Brooklyn Base Ball Club, under the
management of the well-known veteran,
Dave FcutZ, arrived from Baltimore today
They have just taken two games from the
champions and hope to treat the Senators
in the same way. There is no question they
are much stronger than the New York.
Every position is filled by better player,
and. their batteries are far superior to
these of Gotham. The Grooms spent the
day in reviewing old scenes and renewing
old acquaintance. Capt. Joyce realizes
that he has a difficult task before him, and
Will probably put in Mercer tomorrow,
while Kennedy is likely to be in the center
of the diamond for Brooklyn. There has
not been much change in the Brooklyns
since last year. Tom Mccarthy, the famous
Brooklyn fielder, will be seen in the left
field. Otherwise the team which showed it
self good one last year, is unchanged.
There's the reliable Capt. Mike Griffin in CEN

first; Tom Daily, who used to catch on the
Washingtons back in the eighties, covers
second, while another ex-W shington play

having laid off. No more active short stop
Is in the league than Tommy Corcoran
That excellent back STOP Grim, is doing
the bulk of the catching.

Benjamins" and instruct the masses on
what Is considered a really good thing on
the other side.
A Proper Guard.
The guard of the Columbia is a. Washing
ton youth, Robert Curran by name. He
was never on a coach until year ago,
when the Columbia was instituted. Now
he stands in the rear, blowing his yard
of tin" and wrapped in that impenetrable
calm of a British funkey that is as abso-
lutely correct as his livery of white cords,
white leggins, pot hat and pink coat with
black trimmings. When l say pink coat

Preliminary to Mounting the Box.
When Dives has his coach and horses Sc
lected. then comes the weighty undertake
ing of determining the details of the har-
ness, and such matters as the length of a
pole, the breadth and thickness of rein
these arc important considerations, over
which great controversies have arisen, and
deciding which Dives has often acquired
brain fog. Having all this ready, the Duke
of Beaufort insists man should not think
of mounting the box and driving off, be-
lievlng himself to be good coachman,
until he is able mot only to put his team
together, but to put the harness, although
properly together again"
Also, before he may mount the box to
drive, he must learn to use the whip. Lord
Algernon st. Maur advises the beginners to
mount first table or high stool in a
large room, or a garden. and practice hit
ting piece of paper set up in the cleft CT
a split stick planted in the ground a proper
distance from him. Then he must have a
tutor to teach him how to catch the thong.
All this mastered in advance, he is finally
ready TO put his horses to the coach and
mount the box. Then arises the necessity
of proper attitude, which Is not to stoop
or lean forward, but to sit upright, not at
all stitily. The whip should be held well up
across the body and the reins, according to
Lord st. Maur, should be held as near
your heart as possible, if you happen to
have one; if not, where your heart ought to
be-" Also, you must turn in your toes.

He Points Out the Importance of
Team Work at the Bat

Henry Chadwick, the pioLeer of base ball
writers, who played the game back in AS
saw Saturdays game a National Park and
was highly pleased. He expressed his
qualification at witnessing the first game
he had seen played in Washington since
1867 in which there was no kicking"
Moreover he commented upon the marked
Improvement in the local team over that
of last year. as plainly manifested to him
in Saturdays game, though" he remark
ed, there is still an opening for improved
batting"
In speaking of teamwork batting, viz,
playing for the side" in batting, he said
Il noticed the tendency of the Cincinnati
batsmen in their game with the Pitts
burgs last Thursday to keep in the old
fungi hitting nut of striving to knock the
stufffng out of the ball. as the boys say:
that is, in hitting hard from the shoulder
at swiftly pitched balls. the majority of
such hits sending the hall in the air to the
outfield, giving chances for catches"
He regarded Browns hitting for singles
by hard-hit grounders on safe taps as an
example the other batsmen of the team
might follow to advantage. He said: There
is craze on the pert of the occupants of
the bleachcrs to see batsmen line 'em
out and hit it over the fence etc--and
the tendency on the part of the majority
of ba tsmen is to respond to this absurd de-
mand, instead of striving to play the game
scientifically, which, in brief, Is to forward
runners by base hits and telling sacrifice
hits; in otter words, to bat for the side
and not for a mere record.
Il speak OF batting in this regard" he
continued, because that is the weak point
of all teams at the present time The play
ers are thoroughly trained in fielding, but
training in batting is almost entirely neg
lected; and practice in base running, too
Is far too much neglected.
I'm the old times / saw so much of the
method u
made by the hundred in a game that I
long ago became sick and tired of that
novfce's style of batting-the striving for
home runs-really the easiest style of bat
ting there is.''
When asked regarding his visit here. Mr..
Chadwick said: Il shall remain here until
Thursday night, and hope to see the local
team do as we'll with their next series as
they did with the New Workers. L hate to
see one-Sided race, and hope to see the
tailenders of 1895 get well up toward the
first division positions this year. especially
the Washingtons, which city l regard as
the best base ball town in the country. and
that is the general opinion among The ma
jority of the club managers. / have pleas
ant memories of 1867 in Washington. and
