Interesting Contests. on Both Sides of the
Atlantic
at is but natural that interest in lawn
tennis this season. says American Ten
mis-, should be directed as much to the
contests across the water as to those which
occur upon our own soil. When Cham
pions Wrenn and Larned joined the rough
riders, it became evident that the contests
of the season would be to determine who
among second rate men were entitled to
fill their places, at least during their alb
sence. That this struggle will be close
one there can be no sort of doubt, and the
result will be awaited with keen atten-
ton. On the other side all American play
ers are watching with interest the work of
Mahoney, Eaves and Nisbet, with whom
we became SO well acquainted last year,
and attention also centers in the work of
Miss Bessie Moore, Clarence Hobart and
J. P. Paret, although great things cannot
be expected from any one of them. Hobart
may always be depended upon to play a
good game, but his absence from tourna-
lnents for the last two or three years must
have seriously impaired the skill which
made him so dreaded an opponent up to
1895. Ex-Champion Mahoney seems to
have regained his former skill, as the
game he played in the Irish championship
is reported to have been almost phenOm-

players last summer was that he was not

How Chornski Trains.

Joe Choynski, one of several clever He
of training for ring encounters that differs
from that employed by most boxers.
Choynski contends that his system of
training includes many advantages not
possessed by others. He says that he never
begins, like other boxers, a rigorous course
of training for two or three months before
a contest. His reason is that he has al
ways been in condition since he adopted
boxing as a business, and has never boon
unframed, except on rare occasions when
sickness or injuries gained the upper hand.
He holds that boxers should be ready to
fight on short notice and thinks that in a
week he could work himself in shape to
put up a creditabIe contest against any

was sold to the Baltimore club two years
ago because he and the management could
not get along together. Friends of the
club protested vigorously against the re-
lease of the player. Doyle, however, was
sold for about So. 500, and he was recently
repurchased for nearly the same figure.
The conclusion drawn is that New York
has been without the services of this excel
lent player for two seasons, when his pres
ence would have meant much to the team
and to the Golfers of the club. The club
alsosInade mistake when it allowed Far
relT-to go. 1t has not had a catcher who
could steady young pitchers since the
Duke left that city. A club bringing
out young pitchers needs a veteran back
stop of experience and patience to steady
the budding twirling phenomena. New
York wants a winning team and wants it
badly, and, much as has been done to in
jure the game in that city, the enthusiasts
are willing to forget if only a winning
team can be secured.
In this year of wars and troubles all
sports are suffering, and it is reasonable
to suppose that they will suffer the moro
as the season wanes. There is one con-
ISOLATION; however. Next year promises to
be the greatest on record. America is per-
meated with prosperity, temporarily hid
den under a warcloud. AS soon as the
skies clear and the 'Spaniards have been
routed sports of all sorts will flourish and
all the money lost thisyear will come back
with big interest
Buck Ewing and his braves continue to
keep the enthusiasts in the different cities
guessing. The roOters for other burgs are
beginning to look for that yellow streak
which is supposed to attack the Cincinnati
players just as the race gets hot. It would
be funny if the streak did not develop at
all this season. Boston keeps pegging
away, and her friends are not bit dis
couraged. The Clevelands in any other
city would be decided factor in the race,
but it would be too much to expect them
to win under present conditions. The
Orioles are of the opinion that they will
fight it out with the champions. New
York expects to get into the first division,
and Brooklyn hopes to- Chicago and
Pittsburg are confident that they will
keep them out.
When the veteran has his wing freeze
and notices that his eye has lost its cum
ming for speed, curve and distance, he
looks to Uncle Nick for relief and a posi-
ton on the umpire staff. Gaffney and
Brown, once managers of the Washington
team, are now working together on the
umpire staff of the league

The spectacle of such a splendid team as

If George III and his minister were en-
barrassed by opposition at home, says
James K. Hosmer in The Atlantic, the
American patriots were no less embarrass-
ed. An energetic minority, it has been
said, brought to pass the Revolution,
which proceeding, especially from New
England, was carried through in spite of
a majority in the colonies-a majority in
great part quite apathetic, but to some ex-
tent actively resisting. The emigration of
Tories when the day was at last won was
relatively as great as that of the Hugue-
nots from France after the revocation Of
the edict OF Nantes. The total number is
estimated to have been at least 1o0a 900.
