LOUISVILLE, KY, April 10.-There
were old familiar faces at the ball park
this afternoon when the st. Paul team
marched on the field to battle with the
Colonies. Six Of the Apostles had at
one time or another worn Louisville
uniform. These thirsted for a victory,
but 1t had been decreed otherwise. Still
st. Paul made Louisville put up the
first article of ball they had played
this year McGilI did not strain him
self in the first two innings, and the
Colonies piled up six runs on as many
hits, and errors by Shugart and Hol-
iingsworth. Phyle pitched the last
three innings and was a stumbling
block, but two hits were made off him.
A cold wind blew from the north and
chilled both spectators and players.
For st. Paul, Shugart carried off the
honors in fielding, accepting eleven
chances out of twelve, while Spies led
the batting, making two hits out of
three times at bat, one of them a dou-
BILE. Fred Zahner, of Louisville, caught
the last two innings for st. Paul to
show Manager Comiskey what he can
do. He made no errors, threw Rogers
out at second cleverly, and hit the ball
safe his only time at bat. He may be
signed. This Is the first time he has
handled a ball this year. Zahner was
for years one of the best amateurs in
the city, and has played with the Louis
villes. ORourke scored ST. PauTs only
run in the fourth inning, leading off
with a two-base hit to left Mcbride
followed with a single, O'Rourke taking
third. He scored on Glasscock's long
fly to center. The Colonies added two
more runs in the fourth on singles by
McCreary and Pickering and errors by
McGill and Preston HilTs single, steal
and O'ROurke's error added another in
the eighth. The score:

This story looks as though 1t was issued
for the effect it may have on certain state
legislatures:
NEW YORK, April At the statements
made by E. j. Rector be true, there is dark
future-or rather, no future-ahead for the
kaleidoscope views of the recent fstic en-
counter in Carson. New. And that means a
great deal to those who paid the freight
for that Photographic enterprise.
Rector AYERS that he Is not worried about
the prospect Of legislation that will cripple
the business Of giving peep-hole exhibit
tions of the prize fight That is a minor con-
sideration. It is the knowledge that the views
taken at the rings:de dismal failures
that is giving him nightmares. 1t was this
Rector who secured the exclusive kineto-
scope privileges of that memorable battle be-
tween Corbett and Fitzsimmons He had
visions of millions from the Photographic
reproductions of the encounter. He spared
no expense to get a picture of every move
made by the fstic kings. When Corbett
gave up the ghost in that fourteenth round
there was no end of hustling among the men
who were aiming the big lens at the CORY
combatants. All the agony depicted in the
features Of the fallen prize fighter was stu
diously wrought out in the plates-so Rector
believed.
But now. alas, Rector says the whole lot Of
snap shots look like the first efforts Of a
novice. When the plates were developed
every defect known to photography made its
unwelcome appearance. Rector is staying at
the Gramercy Park hotel. He is there recov-
ering from the shock these UNDERGONE and
overdone plates gave him, so he says. The
negatives were sent to the Edison laboratory
in Orange, n. j., to be developed. Frank
Cannon, of Rabb and Cannon, managers
Of the vitascope under whose direction the
negatives were being developed confirms Rec
tors statement. He says they are not pan
ming out.
Rector says bids for right to make kineto-
scopic views of the fight were received from
England, France, Australia, South Africa and
the Sandwich Islands, but that the defective
plates has set aside all thought of making
such contracts.

WILL NOT ROW MINNESOTA.
Wisconsin University Eight Is in the
Tank. However.

The Wisconsin eight expect to row in but
one race this year, that with Yale, May 20. 1t
is adverse to meeting the Minnesota crew
again.
The Badger crew has not yet been ulti-
mately decided upon, but from present in
dicatiOns It is probable that the following
men will row against Yale: Bow, Alexander;
No. g. Olson; No. 3, StahI; No. T. Forest; No.
5, Lake No. 6, Austin; No. 7, Chamberlain;
stern, Seymour.
The varsity crew will doubtless discard
the shell which was used in the races last
season. The boat has been used for some
years and would hardly be At for another
made is to be of the latest pattern and of
such weight as to give the Badgers even
chances with their opponents at Yale.
Coach o'Dea says: The honor is the
Western university. Cornell and the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania have been endeavoring
for years to obtain the coveted race with the
Yale crew. Yale, however, has refused to
grant their requests, and has, in what to
may seems a partial way, picked out Wis
consin as an opponent. The honor cannot
be too greatly emphasized. We are at work
raising the means to make the trip to Lake
Saltonstall, Conn.,. the seat of the contest,
which takes place on May 20. The expense, Of
course. will reach in the neighborhood Of
81 500 but we are sure that the university
alumni and friends will stand by u.s. They
can plainly see the value Of the event to
the school and with little extra effort the
wherewithal will soon be in sight. Yale, of
course has agreed to meet part of our ex-
pense, but under the circumstances it could
hardly be expected that she would defray
the entire cost of our trip to Lake Salton-
STALL"
Coach O'Dea has now had the men training
in the tank for nearly a month. Under his
guidance their work Is proving to be very
beneficial. The eight are lighter than the Yale
crew.
The training shell is stationary and does
not give with the stroke of the oars while
the water on each side of the shell keeps
up a rotary motion in the direction of the
movement of the oars. The men begin with
moderate stroke, which is varied to a faster
or slower pull, according to the directions
Of the coach. The rowing is kept up for
about twenty minutes. During the last five
minutes the men are coached to pull for
sprint and when they are ordered to leave the
she'll It is clearly evident that they have
been put through a course Of exercise which
is even more severe than the training Of
the football player. But excellent care Is
taken of the men and they are Immediately
rushed into the gymnasium, where they are
rubbed down and given training bath SO
that when they have finished their daily work
they are the very picture of health.

Badger crew. This system Ia considerably

MABEL DAVIDSON In EUROPE
To Exhibit Before the Prince of
WRles-AnnOyed by Washers.

1t Is great pleasure, for several rea-
sens, to record the triumphant success
of Miss Mabel Davidson, the American
skater, who has just concluded a three
months engagement at the Palais de
Glaze In the Champs Elysees, says a
Paris correspondent Of the New York
Journal One reason is because Miss
Davidson Is a very genuine American
girl, who is making her own way in the
world, and whose conduct in a trying
situation reflects credit upon American
Womanhood She has been pursued by
the Washers in Paris, and, assisted by
an able chaperon in the person of an
English lady, has kept them all at a
proper distance. The annoyance to
which she has been put by these pol
iShed ruftianS would be incredible any,
where outside of France. For the first
month of her engagement at the PalalS
de Glace anywhere from half dozen to
a score of beautifully dressed French
men, with winning smiles, would walt
outside of her dressing room door at
the conclusion of her afternoon and
evening exhibitions, escort her and her
chaperon in a body to their cab, prof.
fering cards and paying her high COM
pliments In French, which the young
lady does not understand, and even
make efforts to enter the vehicle with
them. The Washers followed the cab
to her hotel and made every effort 10
force themselves upon her attention
there, attempting to bride the servants
to show them her room. 1t was a
long time before they could be made TO
understand that girl who earned her
own living by giving public exhibitions
Of skating could resist the temptation
to form their charming acquaintance.
1t Is worth making a note Of for young
women who skate that Miss David
sons salary at the Palais de Glace was
$500 francs, or $500 per week, but 1t
should be remembered that she is with
out doubt the best fancy" skater in
the world. The test Of artistic success
in Europe is to- be asked to give a per-
Torrance before the Prince of Wales,
by reason of the circumstance that the
blase sport does not care to see any,
thing that is not highly recommended.
Miss Davidson will give an exhibition
on artificial ice to the prince and a few
of his chosen friends in London on his
return from the Riviera.

lie nitched a GOOD game yesterday."

He pitched good game yesterday"
Shortly after the victory Of Louis
vile yesterday, Manager Comiskey
wired Thomas Foley that the result of
the game was undoubtedly due to the
soreness, physically, Of the team after
playing too fast ball in the initial game,
and then being left by wet weather
without training for a couple Of days.
1t is expected, however, that they will
round to. all right. and Foley looks
for a more hopeful telegram after to-
days game.

1t is presumed that Bill Hassamaer
is still driving a coal wagon for his
father this season. Nothing has been
heard from him. When the contracts
were mailed the Indianapolis manage
ment forgot to include his name in the
list, and after the 1st of March he was
free to sign where he pleased. His
prospects for getting into the Western
league by the time the season opens
are decidedly slim. 1t took him three
weeks last spring to reach the Louis
vile club at Montgomery. The roads
were bad. and he was not in good con-
dition for walking. 1t would take him
fully as long to reach one of the West
ern league cities. Indianapolis was the
closest, and when Manager Watkins
failed to send him a contract, Hasa
maer realized that he had another long
walk ahead of him if he hoped to play
ball this season. He got even with

YACHT CLUB PLANS
HOUSE 1T PROPOSES TO
BUILD.
TO BUY THE SITE OUTRIGHT.
THAT WILL FOREVER SETTLE THE
QUESTION OF THE RIPARIAN
RIGHTS.
NEW COURSE HAS BEEN LAID OUT.
With the Exception of Short Dis
tance 1t Cam All Be Seen From
Club House.

The members Of the White Bear Yacht
club have found it necessary to make
a change in the location of their new
club house on the lake. They had ex-
pected to obtain permission from the
village council to erect their new home
at the foot of Clark avenue, this be-
ing the only manner in which they
could overcome riparian rights, but 1t
has been decided that the council has
no jurisdiction in the matter. The
plans Of the club, as they have been
rearranged, is to purchase the vacant
property at the foot IF Banning ave
nue. and erect the house on that site.
The club will then own it's own riparian
rights and will be under no obligations
to any one. The sum of $4,000 is neces-
sary to carry the project to a success
full close, and a strong effort Is being
made by the club to raise that amount.
A subscription has been started among
the members, and up to date $4,000 has
been pledged. In the event that it be-
comes necessary to have outside aid
it is thought that the citizens of White
Bear will bear portion of the expense.
The new location selected has one adj
vantage over the first choice, in that
it is equally distant from the two de-
pots at the lake and in all other re-
spects it will answer the requirements
Of the club.
The course for the racing season Of
1897 has been surveyed, and with the
exception Of about half a mile every
portion Of it can be seen from the new
club house. The starting buoy will be
located at the foot Of Banning avenue,
and the other two ends will be at Dell
wood and Wildwood. The course will
be about eight nautical miles in length
The schedule for the summer racing is
being drawn up by Capt Drake, and
will be announced before the end Of
the month. The season will open with
a series Of special races on Decoration
day.

FIELDING PLAY IMPROVES.
Figures Show a Marked Advance in
Eight Years.

The statistically inclined ball crank may be
interested as well as Surprised by a table Of
figures showing the progress made in eight
years time in the fielding department of the
game. The figures of 1888, compared with
those Of 1885, show Enthusiastically that despite
the changed rules and the heavier and hot
ter batting which the men now have to face
the fielding Of every position has improved
How much of this progress is due to the In
PRODUCTION OF armored gloves for the tender
palms can hardly be estimated, but credit
must be given the ball players, nevertheless,
for faster fielding in every way. Ten years
ago 1T was no uncommon sight to see half q
dozen wild throws over f1rst-now a ball
that is thrown too wide to be handled is
usually near enough to the mark to at least
Craze the baseman's hands.
In these tables, those players who were in
the professional arena in 1883 and were still
prominent in National league circles last sea-
son, are utilized for comparison by Ed Sheri-
dan in the Chicago Record. The number is
not large. Many of the men whose batting
hgures for the same two years were quoted
In these columns a few days ago are now
playing different positions from those they
occupied SO long ago-thus, Ewing, then a
catcher, is now a first baseman; Tebeau has
shifted from third to first and Ely, then an
outfelder, now plays at short.
The catcherS' averages show that the big
mitten has been a blessing, the improvement
OF the backstops being great to con-
stitute material factor in the game The
first baseman has also prof1ted by the fat
tened glove, though not so remarkably as the
catcher The great improvement in second
base play is more due to practice and scien-
t1hc work in the position than to any armor.
Third base shows the smallest gain of all
the third baseman's lot has never been a
happy one. The improvement at short has
been wonderful and will be acknowledged
by any crank who has seen the short stops
Of old, with their alternate brilliant catches
and fearful throws.
There has been a goodly gain in the outfeld
work Of the veterans, and fewer grounders
now escape to say nothing OF the way in
which fly balls are now surrounded. The
figures follow:

The Milwaukee Team Doing Good,
Strong Work.

MILWAUKEE, April 10.-A letter received
from Manager Mack yesterday says he is sat
is1ed with the prospects Of the Brewers for
this season. He thinks Speer is wonderful
catcher and a fast thrower. He Is favorably
impressed with Taylor and Newkirk, the pitch-
ing talent he picked up last fall, and thinks
both men will remain on the team. Rettger
has rounded to in good form, and Barnes he
considers ono Of the best ball players he has
seen play. his pitching batting and second
base play making him valuable He says
Jones is a splendid pitcher, and thinks his
work at Louisville stamps him as one of the
best left-handers in the country, his change
of pace and command being excellent. In
Lewee he sage he has made find, as the eX-
Buffalo third baseman has been covering all
the infeld between third and second bases,
while Houseman at third is just rounding into
playing condition. He says Lippert is full of
ginger and fields and runs bases fast in
addition to hitting the ball hard, and thinks
Ncol is one of the best outfelders and SCI
entifc batters in the country. Waldron is
fairly satisfactory as a fielder, and has Gre
ated favorable impression in the outheld.

Are ShOwered on the st. Paul Play
ers by Cincinnati Writers.
st. Paul fans have every reason to
hope for some good play at the new
Lexington Avenue park this summer,
If the showing made by COmiskey's
men at Cincinnati in the opening game
is a fair illustration of their ability and
evident determination to get out of the
game all that there is in it.
The Enquirer in describing that game,
says it had a decidedly champion
ship tinge to it.
Charlie Comiskey's hard-hitting ST.
Paul team made Ewing's big leaguers
play as they have not played before
this season. Twice the Minnesotans
had the lead, and it took spurts Of the
fastest kind to close up the gaps they
had opened.
"Rhines and Ehret took it easy until
they had to pitch ball. Taking it easy
against such sluggers as O'Rourke
Glasscock, Shugart, George and Pres
ton is risky undertaking. They kept
blinking the ball out with surprising
regularity. McGill pitched three inn
ings, and did we'll SO did Phyle. a
youngster that Comiskey secured from
a small club in St Paul.
Mcbride made probably the best
catch of the day. After long run. he
got a long fly from McPhee's bat on
the embankment near the Western ave-
nue. gate.
Preston put his side in the game
with his clever work with the stick.
and then helped to defeat his team by
his misjudgment of McPhee's long fy
in the seventh that had to go as a
hree-bagger
Several Of the St Paul players are
very sore on the Kentucky team. We
are going to make an effort to con
two out of three from the Pullian
crowd said Tim O'Rourke. Last sea-
son they came to ST. Paul. and we
trimmed them by a score of 10 to 2
Instead of giving us credit for the vic
tory, the Louisville papers turned in
and roasted Shugart Glasscock and
myself. I'd be willing to lose a little
of my salary to put it on them on their
home grounds
"Comiskey has formidable aggrega-
ton. No big league team can loaf
and take their measure. The Reds had
TO let out everything in reserve to beat
them yesterday.
Capt. COmiskey is jubilant over the
fact that he will this season have the
finest minor league base ball park in
America. During the winter the ST.
g Paul club erected a new grand. stand,
club house and bicycle track. The BIZ
cycle track is one one-t third of a mile.
and there will be 1900 opera chairs in
the grand stand.
Perhaps no pitcher ever had a
stronger hold on the Cincinnati base
ball public than Tony Mullane This
afternoon Tony will pitch against the
Reds for the st. Pauls. Ten thousand
dollar Rreitenstein will be in the box
for the home team.
1.-THE bat trading market has already
opened. Capt. Ewing yesterday
snapped one of his second growth ash
bats with George, of the st. Pauls. fol,
