PROMOTERS" OF CHARITY ENTERTAIN

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir; There are in New-York certain persons whose
business II Is 10 promote" theatrical and musical
entertainments ostenslby for the benefit OF chart
table objects, but in reality for their private benefit
They usually undertake to furnish the entertain
ment and pay over only much Of the proceeds
a ; may be necessary 70 obtain the name OF some
well-kho~,r and usually worthy charity for adver-
Using purposes. The amount varies in different
cases-sOmetmes IL is a fixed sum. such 500 the
promoters taking the entire balance above that
amount Sometimes II has been half some other
proportion OF the entire proceeds Tickets then
sold In the name OF the charity and often by or in
the name of its friends or managers. Not infre-
Quently the name or the charity Is used without any
authority whatsoever. upon the consent ac-
quiescence Of some subordinate official and without
action the part Of the managers
The Charity Organization Society advises the pub
lie not 10 buy tickets for any entertainment pur-
porting be for the benefit Of any charity unless
satisfied that II Is properly authorized and likely TO
be OF substantial benefit TO the charity in question.
Caution should particularly be exercised when tick
cts are sold by persons not officially connected with
the charity 10 be benefited by the entertainment.
The society also advises managers of charities 10
be cautious I'm countenancing any such entertain
ments because their appeals the public often
vey the false impression that all the proceeds Of the
entertainment applied 10 charity and because
they may easily tempt 70 actual dishonesty by the
ease with which false returns receipts and ex-
penses may be made.

FAST AND SLOW PITCHING.
Latter Is More of a Strain on a Pitchs
cr,s Arm. "

II have heard the argument advance
ed that a pitcher whose strong point is
his slow ball has the advantage over
the twirler whose speciality is speed"
remarked Jim Mcclure. "The slow
ball is less of a strain on a pitchers
arm and, therefore. he should last
longer, so 1t is argued. But this argu-
ment is not borne out by the facts.
Take Amos Rusie and Charley Mich
OILS for example. Steam and strength,
speed pure and simple have been their
pet numbers in the pitching catalogue
for the past ten years, and 1t looks as
IL there are at least five more years of
the strong-arm speciality concealed In
the wings of Amos and Nichols. Tim
Keefe was of another style, as he de-
pended on his slow ball for the chief
effect But Tim is out Of the business.
He was the inventor of the sort of slow
ball that Mike Kelly called the tired
feeling curve, one of those lazy ones,
about the speed of a bean bag. that
sauntered up to the home rubber and
got winded before it arrived at the
home base.
I'm pitching this slow floater Tim i'm
posed even more Of a strain on his arm
than a speedy ball inflicted. The puz-
zling style of delivery was the cause of
it. That is, in delivering the easy, slow
fioater, he made bluff at using his
speed, and his arm came almost to a
halt as the ball left his hand. The mo-
tion for the slow ball was identically
the same as that used in delivering his
speed, except that he pulled up just as
the arm had described the full motion.
1t was exactly on the same principle
as the boxer who leads and misses. The
force of his blow is spent. Tim made
bluff at using speed and the halting
of the arm as the ball left his hands
produced a strain that was more severe
than IL the ball had left his hand with
the full force of speed.
Cupid Cunningham, of the Colonels,
is one of the slow-ball pitchers who is
| an exception. He has been pitching to
my knowledge for the past twelve years
and the slow ball is his strongest point.
But he doesn't attempt to fool the
batsmen. They know he is going to
work a slow one on them and they
lay hack for 1t, and often they contract
stitch in the back In reaching for
| Cunny's slow ones"

ARG0NAUT PAIR WON.
Foul Race Rowed Over Yesterday on
the SchuylkiII Course.

Philadelphia, Aug. 16-The pair
cared shell race for the American
championship, which was ordered to
be rowed over by the referee of the
National regatta because of the crews
fouling one another at the turning
stake on Saturday, was won today by
the Argonaut rowing club of Toronto,
Canada.
Starter Henry w. Garfield, of AL
bany, N. Y, sent the crews off. There
were three starters. West Philadel-
phia had the shore buoy, Argonaut the
middle one and the Vesper crew of
Philadelphia the outside course. AS
they drew near the turning buoy Ar
gonaut caught the Vesper crew and
they turned the stake together. West
Philadelphia was over five lengths be-
hind and practically out of it. The
race down the course was an even
thing, until Argonaut stroke oar got
tangled up in some driftwood. BY the
time they got clear of the drift Ves-
per was leading by nearly two lengths,
but soon lost 1t by bad steering. Ar
gonaut then settled down and rowed
beautifully and crossed the line a win
ner by three lengths. Summary: Paired
oar shell, mile and half with a turn

ronto, Canada, Joseph Wright, stroke;

DAD CLARKE AND SCRAPPY JOYCE.
Reasons Why the Two Had Their
Falling Ont.

Why Comedian Dad Clarke and
Scrappy Joyce fell out is thus explain
ed by Earl Wagner: "Scrappy always
has an eye focused on the main point,
that is, on Scrappy, and his high re-
spect for number one led up to the
Knocker from Knockersville turn, with
Scrappy as the hammersmith and Dad
on the anvil. You know Dad prides
himself on his slow ball, and he puts
an odd kind of a twist on his slow
benders. Players who have watched
batsmen connect with Dads delivery
will tell you that they swing the ball
to the left side Of the diamond, and
close in the territory covered by
Scrappy. Now Scrappy figured tnat
If Dad pitched there would be more
work for third baseman. Scrappy's
arm is afflicted with a stutter, and this
imDediment In the throwing wing
would be shown up whenever Dad
pitched. That's why Dad was kept on
the bench and at the turnstyle.
"'They put me on the gate because
I'm good looking and make a hit with
the soubrettes on ladies' day, and on
the trip I'm used to fill in at the
dinner table because 1 don't pull away
from the plate was Dads explana-
tion of his long stretch of bench duty.
Me and the ice water tank are doing
sketches together on the bench said
Dad to me when I asked him why he
didn't get into the game.
Dad will help the Colonels on the
rubber as he is foxy pitcher, and he
can make some of the heaviest bats
men in this league feel as II they
were up against the shells with that
slow ball OF his"

MIKE KELLY AGAIN.
Tim Keefe Springs a story About the
Famous Beauty.

"More good stories are told about poor
Mike Kelly" said Tim Keefe to a Sun
reporter, than about any other ball
player. / shall never forget one day in
Austin, Tex, when we had a combina-
tion team on the way to Frisco. Kel
was in his prime and was full of tricks
and funmaking. In this particular
game we were all hitting pretty hard,
Kel in particular. About the eighth in
ming Mike came to the plate and sent
a corking hit to deep left. The ball
went into a clump of bushes and the
left fielder began to hunt for it. Kelly
ran into first. and instead of turning
for second he kept straight on into
right field.
"Hey, Kel! Where are you going"
we all yelled. But Mike kept on until
he reached the right fielder. The lat
ter didn't know what was up until Mike
ran around him and then trotted to-
ward second base. When he touched
the bag he ran out again toward left
field. The centre fielder, who had run
over there to take the throw from the
left fielder when the latter found the
ball, was simply dumfounded. Kel ran
around him and then galloped to third
base.
by this time the left fielder had
found the ball and he quickly threw 1t
in to the shortstop. The latter shot the
ball to the catcher and Kel was head
ed off. Mike ran up and down several
times with the whole Austin team chas-
ing him, until he saw he was cornered.
Then he broke into a sprint and dashed
across the diamond in the direction of
right field. The third baseman. who
had the ball, went after him full tilt.
"'Yer'll never ketch me- yelled Mike,
If yer chase me ter Frisco
Eyer ken bet WILL roared the third
baseman, now thoroughly wrought up.
But he didn't. for Kel ran out of the
gate and never stopped until he reach
ed the hotel.
"It was a home rum explained IS'l
afterward, and wouldn't let that Rube
swell his average by putting me OUT"
