Here Today.

Harry Collihower, who pitched such a
good game for the Exiles against the Sen
ators has accepted the terms offered by
Cleveland and will leave tonight to join

can play both in or outfield positions in
addition to being an excellent pitcher.

THE SHAMROCK CRITICISED.
"Ynchtsman" Says She Is Not Up Il
Fife's Standard in Looks.

London, July 24-The 'Yachtsman" has
the following TO say: We have had an op-
portunlty of seeing the Shamrock at her
moorings. and also at distance. under
way She is not by any means up to Mr.
Flies standard in the matter of looks, for
her counter has a very ugly droop. The
sheer is very straight, and the bow outline is
as nearly as possible identical with that OF
the Seuta A peculiar feature of the rig
ging is the fitting of short crosstrees for
the lower mast shrouds These appear to
be about eight feet below the jaws of the
gaff when the mainsail is set and how
the Jaws get past in hoisting is a problem
somewhat in the nature Of the model of q
full-rigged ship in whisky bottle. What

Her Last Spin in British Waters n
Gratifying Showing.

Greenoek, July 2i.-The Shamrock
sailed across Wemyss Bay and back to-
day. her last sail in British waters prior
to her departure for America. Sir Thomas
Upton aud Col. Hector Macdonald were
on board. The Shamrock left her moor
ings in Rothesay Bay at noon and reached
out under jib, foresail, mainsail. and jib-
headed topsail. There was fine breeze
drawing over her port quarter, and she
went out SO fast that an enthusiast re-
marked that no steam vessel had chance
with her The sails in use were bent for
the first time. The breeze was about top
sail strong. The boat was standing well
up and moving along handsomely.

GOSSIP OF THE DIAMOND.
Newsy Paragraphs About the Fn
yoritcs of the Fans.


Catcher Alex Smith, who considers him
self too much of star TO waste his time
in playing baseball for Washington, is now
placed in the peculiar attitude of trying
to sell himself. He was highly impressed
with the idea that Baltimore wanted him,
but so far he has been unable to make the
trade which would carry him TO that city.
With Robinson and Crisham, it is difficult
TO see why McGraw should desire the
fashion plate.
Manager Arthur Irwin will leave to-
night TO Join the Senators at Plttsburg
He has not completely recovered from his
recent attack OF sickness. but feels that he
should join the team at once.
Houtz, the young Texas Lacquer who
recently joined the Reds, seems TO be
somewhat of find" himself. He was a
potent factor in the defeat of the Sena-
tors in the second game Sunday.
Casey keeps up his batting record with
the Superbas, and as run-getter there are
few on the team who exceed him. He
makes a good many errors, but his work
IN other respects more than compensates
| for his deficient fielding.
As straws indicate the direction of the
wind. so does the prosperity of the minor
! leagues show the condition of baseball.
| Never before were there so many small
organizations in such a fiourishing condi-
| ton.
Latham is so accustomed to playing the
| clown for the benefit OF the spectators
that he finds it hard 10 preserve his dig
nifty as an umpire. He laughs at the Jokes
OF the coachers and occasionally reyives a
| few of his own for the benefit of the fans
His un-making propensities do not impair
his worth as an umpire, however.
Duncan's two passed balls in the first
| game at Cincinnati Sunday were the first
that he has had since joining the Sena-
tors. They were not costly to the chances
OF his colleagues.
1t is intimated that Tebeau has been
warned to revive his lexicon by Presiden,
Robson. of the ST. Louis club Tebeau

In the Matter of Honoring Dewey.

By vote of A to . the aldermen of
New York city have appropriated $780,
600 of the city's money to pay the ex-
pcnses of the City's welcome to Ad-
miral Dewey. So far as this action rep
resents a sincere desire to pay honor
to a most deserving fellow citizen it
will be approved everywhere; but there
are ways Of honoring Dewey which will
better commend themselves to the
judicious and which would doubtless be
better appreciated by the great admiral
himself than the one contemplated by
the New York aldermen.

lars may not appear to be a great deal
of money to the officials of a munici.
