Of the long distance American riders in
100 mile match race this season.
Tom Eek is off for Cincinnati again to
overlook tie small army of foreign and
American racing men now training
there. While there he will arrange for
their transfer to the Woodside Park
Track, this city, to complete their train
ing. They will reach here in another
week, the track being ready for training
purposes in that time.
Last Saturday Taylore, the French
middle distance rider, rode his fastest
five miles (9.36 4-5) since he started
training in the south this winter just az
parting shot before leaving Jackson
vile for the north.
Tom Eck's two crack racers Archie
Mac Eachern and Bobby Thompsone
have arrived in Philadelphia, ready to
commence training for the seasons rae
ing. These two men hold the Canadian
unpaced tandem records at one quarter
mile, twenty-five seconds, and at one
half-milc, iifty-four seconds. They also
hold the competition, tandem record al
l.5S %. With Merlens, kiser Gar
diner, Miller and Porter on the Amert
can quint, and Jaap Eden, Goulotz,
Kaser, Boulay and Cavelley on the
European quint, and then the Canadian
quint manned by Mccarthy, Mcleod,
MacEachern, Thompson and Dunbar
not to speak of the European sextuplette
Pasini, Tommaseli, Cissac, Bourotte,
Lamberjack and Stan,penbourg, it would
seem that Tom Eek has got the strongest
band Of racing men together possible.

FOOT BALL.

Winston I. Townsend, manager OF the
Yale Freshmen foot ball eleven last fall,
was struck by a carriage while riding his
bicycle on Orange street, New Haven
Monday afternoon, and killed. His neck
was broken. The carriage driver, who
was at fault, left him lying insensible.
The lad was taken home and died in hall
an hour. He was 20 years old and pre-
pared for Yale Taft School and Andover
Academy. Coroner Mix has ordered the
police to follow up every clue to the dis
covery of the person in the carriage who
caused the boys death. The victim Of
the accident was the son OF Judge William
K. Townsend Of the United States Cir
cult Court of this city.

AQUATICS.

Coach Ward announced Tuesday thai
there was no longer any question con.
corning the race with Annapolis. A re-
port was out that on account OF the
great demand for the navy that the race
with the Quakers would have to be de-
clared off. Word was received yesterday
that ''the Middies' would have an eight
on hand, and the race would be a GER
tainty.
The new '9S shell which was to have

DIAMOND DUST.

Lajoie is one of the most natural bats
men in the League. He seems to be
able to hit any kind of a ball, whether
high or low.
Tucker was spiked accidentally by
Deehanty in the eighth inning Monday
and his leg was cut. 1t was not severe
injury, however.
The surface of the Brooklyn's new
ground is still quite "dead' because of
the lack of sunshine. 1t will be all right
when it has been heavily rolled.
Harmony prevails among the Philadel-
phia players at last, SO Col. Rogers says,
as Manager Stallings has succeeded in
getting rid of the trouble-makers
Col. John |. Rogers, one of the owners
of the Philadelphia Club, saw MONDAYS
game at Washington Park. He says the
new rules to suppress rowdyism are
working well.
The umpiring OF Lynch and Connolly
at Brooklyn, Monday, was. excellent.
Connolly's base decisions were rendered
quickly, and were accompanied by a
wave of the hand Which showed whether
runners were safe or not.
Pitcher Yeagcr, whom Barnie got from
the Lancaster Club, is quite favorite of
the Brooklyn fans.
Billie Barnie has hard time getting
that shortstop hole plugged up. He is
not overly strong at third either.
Manager Tim Hurst has notified the
League clubs that Louis Bierbauer is on
the auction block to 60 to the highest
bidder.
Tom Burns, of Chicago, would like to
find one or two additional twirlers.
Tom says he wants to keep his team in
the first division.
The Phillies had fifteen hits with
total of twenty-five bases, and yet earned
only three Of their runs. Great waste of
muscle that.
The Baltimore Club offers only $4,000
to its PLAYERS for the winning of the pen
nant. But, then, Baltimore may have to
shell out.
There have been twenty-five postponed
games already, and the season is hardly
more than two weeks old. This means
that the public will have many bargain
counter days later on.
Castro, the crack pitcher of the Man
haitian College team, struck out the first
nine men of the Yale Law School team
on Saturday. Many National League

him big offer this year.
The Atlantic City, N. j., team has
been recognized and will play the COM
ing season at that popular summer re-
sort The team will be made up entirely
of college players as usual.
Young Sheckard has jumped into high
favor with Brooklyn cranks at one
bound. His home run on Saturday did
the business.
1t is the general impression among
Brooklyn enthusiasts that Lachance will
do at short stop. The big fellow looks
ungainly, but he gets around as lively as
Jennings or Davis.
Tommy Tucker is bound to be favor
tic. He is Just the kind of a hustler the
Brooklyns have needed for long time.
Nash, of the Phillies, is most unfor-
tunate player in getting injured. His
usefulness two years ago was impaired
for months owing to his being hit on the
head with a pitched ball, and on Satur-
day his teeth were made to rattle by a
collision with Jones. Nash is plucky,
and in game never gives way.

A man in the darkness of hopeless dis
ease is of all men most miserable. When
doctors and medicines innumerable have
been tried and found wanting, and loving
friends vainly urge upon him the food he
cannot eat and which brings him no nour-
ishmcnt or strength, what is to be done?
Men and women who have sunken SO
far into weakness and disease that the
whole body seems to be perneated and
poisoned by it have found health,
strength and vigor through the transform
ing, electrifying power of that wonderful
Golden Medical Discovery" which Dr..
r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. V, proffered,
thirty years ago, to sick and suffering hui
mainly.
During all the years since then this mar
velous Discovery" has been building up
weak and debilitated constitutions by its
extraordinary influence upon the human,
nutritive system. 1t gives the digestive or
sganism keen power and capacity to appro.
pirate every life-g giving element from the
food taken into the stomach and trans
forms it into rich, highly vitalized blood
and healthy flesh, bone, sinew and nerve
fiber.
Consumption in all its earlier stages is
arrested and counteracted by the tissue
building, flesh making, life promoting pow
er of this grand medicine and there is no
darkness of bodily ailnlent so dense but it
will shed upon the sufferer the light of re-
newed hope.
DR.. Pierce's Pellets cure constipation.

A RIVAL TO THE AMERICAN
 TOBACCO COMPANY.
An Experts Opinion.

The last issue of '"Tobacco'-published in London, England-contains the following interview: "A Central News telegram on Wednesday morning last reported the for nation in America of the Union Tobacco Company, with capital of $10,GO0, 900, with the object of fighting the American TO- bacco Company.
 "The American Tobacco Company, pop ularly known as the Tobacco Trust, pe- ing by far the largest concern of its klnQ in the world, a representative of Tobacco called last Thursday on MT. Bernnaru Baron in view of getting an opinion rom the best available source as to what CT feet an opposing faction would have on the Tobacco Trust.
 MT. Baron has for some years past been managing director in America of pany-in fact, he to-day holds over s4OO,- 900 in shares of the capital stock.
 .'He states that his company and him self have, for the past years, been trying is now attempting. They had all the money necessary at their command. and tried every conceivable way to gam foothold and obtain the patronage Of the public. Any one who has visited America will readily acknowledge that the 'Adml- rar Cigarettes have been advertised in every corner of the States, and money was lavished in every direction to get public, but without success, while the American Tobacco Company has in creased and grown larger and more pow erful than ever.
 He therefore prophecies without hesi- tation that the Union Tobacco Company is embarking in hopeless enterprise. The American Tobacco Company's great stronghold in America Is the public, both the masses and the classes, and controll- ing and buying as they do from 50 to 70 per cent of the bright tobacco of Vir- g1nia and North Carolina, they are in a position to give the American public the best article for the least money, which they can do as we'll if not better, than any one else, and 1t is safe to say that any organization, even with a capital of $50 900 .000, would not affect the American Tobacco Company in the least, and espe- cially under the presidency of Mir. Duke, whose ability has brought the company to its present high standing. and as long as he lives and is at its head 1t is sure to progress, and will be the greatest con- cern that the world has ever seen.
 MT. Baron further states. in conclusion, that to oppose a company like the Ameri- can Tobacco Company now is, with all their prestige, financial standing and the best management in the world would only be a waste of time, money and energy, and suggests that it would be more advisable for one with a good paying business to combine with the American Tobacco Com pany to make them still greater, rather than oppose them. New York Tribune, Dec, 6.
