The New Manhattan.

The sporting editor is in receipt of a letter from the board of trustees of the New Manhattan Athletic club, New York city, in which the announcement Is made that the club, which during the past year was merely experimental, is now on a sound financial basis.
 The name of the club, however, seems to be distasteful to the trustees, and steps are being taken to change it's name to the "Knickerbocker Athletic club"
 Sport for sports sake" will be the policy of the club, and the present move ments of the trustees indicate that the policy will be carried out to the letter. The grounds secured for the meets of the club are those of Columbia college at Williamsburg, known as the Oval. George A. Salmon, for three years cap- tain of the track team of the Olympic club, New Orleans, has ben added to the gymnasium staff, and Alex MefYert, a swimmer of national repute, has been secured to take charge of the swimming pool.
 The trustees are making strenuous ef- forts to increase the clubs membership to 2000, and in order to do this have erected hand ball and tennis courts, and a grill room will be erected before the coming winter.
 The trustees of the New Manhattan are Cornelius Van Cott, president; and J.. Herbert Ballantine, Joseph Hamblen Sears, Gerard Irvine Whitehead, Will liam N Coler, Jr., and John D. Adams, all of whom are men of wealth and inf1u- ence, and it is expected that under their guidance the club will arrange some fine meets in the near future.

On these the com mittee reported mo action," on the ground that the subject was then under consideration on the floor of the assem- bly,.
 The assembly holds but one session on Saturday, and that was devoted chiefly to the discussion of the recommendations of the committee on church temporalities, proposing a change in the constitution placing the titles to church property in the deacons, chosen from the member ship of the church. instead of in trustees;
 The whole question was recommitted with instructions to the committed to make its report to the next general as- sembly, defining the term "church tenn poralities" and specifying exactly the duties and powers of trustees and deaconS.

National League Standing.
Safe Hits.

The sporting editor of the State Herald has always maintained that pitchers are the essentials to game winning, and has repeatedly urged the Bluebirds to give Fricken the support he deserves. The following from the Sporting News gives the Pittsburg presidents idea on that subject:
 q could sell Hawley for $70O0 more than he cost me, but I couldn't afford to sell him for $27,0OO at this stage of the game. Money can't buy winning pitchers this season. r
 Maybe Columbus wouldn't like to have a hypnotist do the act suggested in the following from the Sporting News. It is safe to assert Birmingham would:
 "Now that mascots are tabooed, new wrinkle has been developed. A dispatch says that Miss Kitty Baldwin, a Pitts burg mind reader, went into a trance the other day and now says that the Phillies will win the pennant. The next thing will be hypnotist, who will try to make the other eleven clubs think that the league standing is upside down, and that Louisville leads, with the Done Browns second"

 Tomorrow the Protestant churches of the city will be occupied by the members of the assembly, many of whom are cele- brated pulpit orators. In the afternoon the assembly communion at the First church will be presided over by Dr. Woodrow and others of the oldest minis ters present.
 The mass meeting on the subject of colored evangelistic work was well at tended tonight. It was addressed by Rev. A. l.. Phillips, D. D., who presided. Rev l. Champney, colored; Rev. L.. l.. Wells, colored; MT. J. L. Dean, an elder of Ope- lika, Ala, and by Dr. Nourse, chairman of the standing committee on this cause. Dr. Phillips spoke of the growth of his work since he took charge of it. Not much enthusiasm was manifested, as there is much dissatisfaction with the way in which this work is managed.

Evolution of the Game.

The Sporting News has the following, which will no doubt prove interesting reading to fans and rooters:
 q really was astonished," remarked MT. A. G. Spalding recently, "on looking over the pages of the League Guide for 1896 to find what great changes had trans pired in professional base ball since the first issue of the Guide, in 1876, and the book itself called special attention to the fact. The first League Guide was pub lished by Reach & Johnson in the fall of 1876, after which it came into our hands and was issued yearly In Chicago up to 1893. The original Guide was a book of forty-odd pages only, and simply con- tained the leagues constitution, records of meetings and the comparatively brief code of playing rules, with the names of the officers of the eight League clubs.
 "In the code of playing rules of 1876 there were just seven rules, each rule having so many separate sections, four teen small pages of large type sufficlng for the whole code that year. This years code includes seventytwo rules with sep arate sections and over twenty pages of fine type are required for the chapter. About six years ago MT. Chadwick codi- fled the League rules, and the code is now being perfected each year, the changes needed being less and less at each annual meeting. In that year the championship season extended from March 15 to November 15, and the rule then in vogue was: No game played on Sunday shall count in the championship series.' Moreover, each club failing, through its own fault, to play out it's se- ries of ten games forfeited all it's games and could not enter the pennant race of the ensuing season. This was done to ob- viate the difilculty caused by the Athletic and Mutual clubs in 1876, who wilfully re- fused to finish their scheduled games and were consequently expelled from the League. Between you and me. however.

MERRY STEAMBOAT WAR
In Which the Southern and aboard Ma
 Take a Hand.

Baltimore, May 23.-Tkere promises to be merry steamboat war between the Baltimore and Chesapeake and Rich mond Steamboat company and the Steam Packet company, better known as the Old Bay line. The Southern railway and Seaboard Air Line railroads will also be more or less involved
 Some time ago the Southern railway, which works in harmony with the Bal timore, Chesapeake and Richmond Steamboat company, announced that it proposed to establish a new line of steamers between Baltimore and Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va. This line would cover exactly the same route as is now served by the Baltimore Steam Packet company's Bay line of steamers.
 The Bay line people, working in con junction with the Seaboard Air Line Railroad company, soon found way of retaliatng for what they considered an invasion of their territory, and, it Is stated, have about completed arrange ments for a steamboat line to West Point and Richmond, thus going into the ter ritory now covered exclusively by the New York line and the Southern railway. The Southern Railway company has contracted for two fine steamers, which will be ready for the summer trade. The Bay Line company has enough steamers to establish an extra line at short notice. The indications are that as soon as the Southern company invades the Bay line territory a new line will be established to Richmond by the competing company.
