DIAMOND DUST.

John r. Brush, the Cincinnati mag
nate, says there is little or no prospect
of the adoption of the rule reducing the
present pitching distance, though it will
probably come up for discussion at the
League meeting. He said the magnatcs
that have come ont in opposition to it
are those who favor the bunt hit and be-
lcyc that it should and will no doubt
continue as Il part of the game. He also
thinks that with the decreased pitching
distance it would be all pitcher and no
batter. Such changes in rules would be
IL handicap to the scientific game. The
game as it is played now is all right.
In the event of the New York and
Pttsburg clubs conscnting to play Sun
day ball it is thought the Bostons will
give in and agree to do likewise, al
though it is known that they would
rather not. 1t is thought the question
is being seriously considered within the
sanctum of the Bcancaters' directors.
Director Conant said recently that the
Bostons might be forced to play Sunday
games away from home in self-defense.
Billy llallman, who will play with
the Brooklyn club next season, is doing
well at present on the road with bur-
lesque company. lie says he intends to

with handball practice, SO as to be in
good condition to do himself and the
Brooklyn club full justice next season.

SELF DEFENCE,

Young Farrell, of this city, has two
fights on hand The first is with Jack
johnson, the champion 120-pound fight
er of Washington, and the next one with
Joe Laughlin, of this city. Both fights
are to come off in Washington at some
future time.
After silence of three weeks Kid Nc
| Coy has been heard from again, and this
time in manner that will no doubt be a
surprise to the sporting fraternity all
over the world. Mccoy, realizing that
he could not induce Joe Choynski to
fight him at l62 pounds, and knowing
perfectly well t.!at there are no more
middle weights left who are entitled to
q fight with him, has come to the con-
clusion that there is only one thing for
him to do, and that is to leave the middle.
weight class, still holding the little of
middle weight champion, and enter the
heavy weight division and try to get on a
fight with either Jim Corbett or BOZ Fitz-
simmons. As Mccoy is confident that his
fighting abilities are equal to either
pompadour ,Jim's or Lanky Bob's, he
has therefore posted 81 900 as a forfeit to
fight either Corbett or Fitzsmmons to a
finish for 5000 a side or more and the
champion Of the world.
1t is doubtful if any city in the world
can produce such an imposing array of
lO5.pound boxers as at present repre-
sents Philadelphia. There are probably
fifty or sixty boys at that weight, and of
those, half a dozen could be picked out
who would make coed showing against
any boy. The best are Steve Flanagan,
Dan Dougherty, "Kid'' Bernasconi,
Frank Magce and Frank Fisher, and
they are adopts. Jim Kennedy, Frank
Erne's manager, was at the last Arena
show and saw several bouts at 105
pounds. He said: II have seen Flana-
gan and little Doughertv box, and know
what they can do, but you appear to
have an endless variety of them. We
can't begin to produce the l05-pound-
ers in New York that you have here,
and should be mighty careful not to
bring bantam to this city unless |
knew he was Il champion. for his wings
would soon be clipped. "
Peter Mahcr, who has made his home
in Philadelphia, is aching for fight,
lIC lHp man III tIlC Nollu.
Talking the other day, he said: "lt
makes me tired to hear these chaps
talking. If they want to fight, why
don't they give me Il chance? am
not challenging them through the papers,
but | am as anxious to fight as anyone
1t don't make any difference to me who
it is; let them put up a forfeit to show
they mean business and / will cover it
so quickly they will get heart disease.
Parson Davies writes from New
Orleans that he has almost completed
plans to run large athletic club just
outside the city limits, that things are
turning out nicely for his club and that
he will soon bid for big bouts. 1t is

Crescent City authorities to the number

ONE OF HANNA'S TRICKS,
Competent Official Removed to Make
Place For His Henc lman.

a Competent Official Removed to Make
Place For His Henc liman.
Hanna has turned little trick under
cover of the war excitem mt. That the
game he has played is di creditable goes
without saying. That 1t would have
worked in ordinary times is doubtful.
Worthington @. Ford, who has held the
office of the chief of bureau cf statistics
Tor the last five years and demonstrated
rare capacity. has been removed
Giving the record of Statistician
Ford, the P:ttsburg Post says: I'm
1893, when he took his Office, it was in
a condition Of chaos and its reports of
little account. 1t is the bureau that COL
lccts, complies and prepares for publ
cation these exceedingly important re-
turns OF the country's commerce, indus
try and finance, on which the future
plans OF merchants AMI financiers are
based. Their value is known in all
newspaper offices and with all who con-
Germ themselves with economic SUBJ
jccts"
Hanna has removed this capable Off
Ger and has put in his place one Austin,
an obscure Washington correspondent
who knows nothing whatever about the
scienca of statistics. In the campaign
OF 1896 Austin was hired by Hanna to
compile campaign dodgers filled with
mislnformation. As tool he proved
useful to Hanna, and for his reward he
is given place which he is in nowise
competent to fill. This is the kind of
work Hanna calls craftsmanship This
is one of the results Of the disgraceful
bargaining which made Hanna senator.

NOMINATE WISE MEN.
The Democracy Must Select Only It's Best
Men For Congressional Candidates.

Republicans who are loyal to the doc

Pingrec. whatever else may he said of
him. is opposed tn the Hanna idea of
robh;n;, the people and protecting the
trusts, therefore the administration Re-
puhlicans are trying to down Pingree.
The result Of this light will be to give
the Democrats an opportunity. There is
lesson in the Michigan situation
which should he studied by the Demo
Gratis. They should learn from it that
none but the best men in their party
should be nominated for Office. This is
especially important i'll regard to con-
grcssional nominations
\ great many Democrats are going to
be sent to congress next autumn. Every
one of them should he not only true
Democrat, but strong man. No mere
political workers should be rewarded
with Il nomination to congress. No man
Of one idea, no man of fdds no man
who thinks his personal opinion is wiser
and better than the doctrine laid down in
the Chicago platform. should be placed
on a congressional ticket. There is a
great battle before the Democracy of the
nation-the presidential contest of 1900.
The preparations for that battle should
include the selection of the best men in
the party as candidates for the house
of representatives. No foolish speeches
are wanted i'll congress. They can do
no possible good and may result in in
calculable harm, therefore no cranks
should be sent to congress by the Demo-

Nelson DingleY-His Bill.

There is bright and beaming smile
upon the usually rugged face Of Mr..
Nelson Dingley these days. He hears
with delight the music Of Dewey's guns
at Manila; the smell of powder smoke
is an incense unto his nostrils. He
glories in the triumph Of American
arms. and he is patriotically enthusiastic
over all propositions looking to the
prosecution Of hostilities. For every
gun fired, every naval skirmish tends to
distract attention from Mr.. Dingley's
"bill to produce revenue" AS he justly
remarks, 1.-The expenses of war are Of an
extraordinary nature and must be met
by extraordinary means Of raising mon
ey." 1t was no i'll wind that bore to the
honorable Nelson Dingley's ears the
clash Of resounding arms. It was a
zephyr freighted with balm to the trou-
bled soul and carrying away disagree
able mutterings concerning deficit of
$40. 900 per month Grim visaged
war is q white winged dove in tho eyes
Of honorable Nelson.
