CORRECTING BASE BALL HISTORY.


That well-known ball player, Jack Doyle
has been talking quite freely to the Cfncin-
natl newspaper men. and in recent inter
view set right some base ball history that
will doubtless prove interesting reading to
those fans who keep close tab on every
thing that happens In the base ball world.
Talk about the necessity of harmony in
a team. That doesn't hold good when one
knows the inside of that old Baltimore
gang" remarked Jack Doyle. There never
harmony in that team when they once
got tha field. Everything was lovely be-
fore the game, but during the game there
We're nothing but cal-downs. Every player
seemed to be the manager. to hear them
roast and order each other around during
a game. A man that didn't make d hit was
roasted by every player when he returned
to the bench. Yet that team won PEN
n&nts."
Yes, and that infed used to make it
very pleasant for pitcher when you, Jen-
nings, Quinn and McGraw were playing the
positions remarked Keller
Yes, that's right. Jennings got me into
lots of trouble. He is most sarcastic
chap, but somehow or other he is never
blamed with saying anything out of the
way. 1t is not good policy for player to
follow Jennings with a kick at the umpire.
Hughey don't say much, but what he says
is hot, and the umpire is usually ready to
put some one out of the game when he gets

RoEBER FAILED TO THROW QUINN.
The Alexandria Wrestler Eluded Il
Fall in Fifteen Minutes.

Jack Quinn, the Alexandria wrestler,
proved himself a Tartar at the Lyceunt
last night. Although Roeber tried every
trick in his wrestling repertoire, he was
unable to defeat the Virginian, and at the
end of the prescribed fifteen minutes the
latter was given the match and 80. Roeber
admitted that Quinn was too good Wrest-
Ter to defeat in such short time, but If given
longer he thought he could accomplish the
feat.
Another match was finally arranged. and
the men will meet again tonight ROeber
agrees to throw Quinn within twenty-five
minutes or forfeit $50. and should neither
man take fall by that time the match is
to go to a finish-that is, until there is a
winner and a loser.
Quinn surprised his friends by his clever
showing against u man of ROBBERS caliber,
and while he did not have much science
as the champion, his speed and strength
were remarkable. He proved cOnclusively
that it will take a champion to defeat him
at the GraecO-I oman style.
AS preliminary to the Quinn-Roeber
match tonight Leo Pardello. one of the
combination, will meet Alex. Goroum of
this city in a fifteen minute bout. In the
curtain raiser last night Pardello met Rob
Roy Mackey, the local wrestler, in a ten
minue bout. 1t was a pretty exhibition,
and neither gained fall.
Manager Herman announces that the
wrestling tonight will commence at IL
o clock.

Hanlons methods of managing a team
differ from those employed by any other
manager in the league. In the first place
the players are not restricted in their
habits. If they want d glass of beer or
anything else they can go and get it.
There is no rule compelling them to be in
bed a a certain hour. They go and come
when they please but dissipation is not
tolerated. On the bench Hanlon is said to
be as mum an oyster. He never issues
orders to batsman. but relies on his own
Judgment. There are no signs from the
bench. The players, in fact, do not look
to HanlOn for orders. Hanlon has one
standing order, and that is: Always do
that which is least expected 1t is also
a frequent OccurrenceafOr Hanlon to con-
suit his players when he contempates max
ing a change in his team. one of the
players said last night: There was hard

who did not know weeks before when Han
lon made a change in his team. We knew
last year that Doyle and Reitz would he
traded for Demont and McJames, and we
knew this winter that Demont would be
traded for Dahlen. HanlOn does not hest
tate to ask his players opinion on such
matters. They may have no bearing on
the result at all, but it sort of makes the
men feel good to he asked, and they take
more interest in their work. Cincinnati

ANOTHER VICTORY SCORED.
Georgetown University Defeated the
Strong WesIeYan Nine.

The Georgetown University boys went to
Middletown, Conn, yesterday and played
the strong club representing Wesleyan Uni
versity and came oat winners by the score
of 6 to 3. The game was as pretty a con-
test, as far as clean fielding and strong
batting enters into such contests. as the
wearers of the blue and gray have played
this season. Bach was on the rubber for
Georgetown and pitched a fine game. his
peculiar slow ball completely mystifyng
the big men of Wesleyan, and hence they
were at his mercy AS he was supported
in the best style by the team behind him,
ne came out of the game with flying colors.
Cranston's work behind the bat was again
one of the brilliant features Of the contest,

a revelation to the Middletown students.

Narrow Escape From Drown
ing.

What might have ended in disaster
was averted by the prompt and heroic
action of BILLY" Bay, son of Capt
VIM. Bay, of the steamer Kanawha,
yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock.
Billy was in the yawl of the boat,
painting sign on her hull. He had
for companion Raymond Allen, lad
about 10 years of age, the son of
Chips" the boat carpenter, The
steamer Kathyrn passed down at con-
siderable speed close to the Kanawha.
The waves and swell made by the
Kathryn caused the yawl to beat Sc
verely against the side of the steamer,
injuring the young men somewhat,and
ending by careening in such manner
as to throw young Allen overheard.
The lad was sinking the third time,
when Mr. Bay, who was somewhat
stunned by the rough action of the
yawl, quickly recovered himself and
Without waiting to remove any apparel
plunged into the deep water and with
great effort rescued little Raymond
from a watery grave. Great excitement
prevailed for few minutes and all
wer loud in praise to Mr.. Bay for his
noble and manly act. Young Allen was
none the worse for the ducking, though
much shook up. He now thinks that
Billy Bay is the best man in town. The
Kanawha left at midnight for Charles
ton to resume her regular run with the
popular Capt. j. NJ. Keever on the
hurricane deck. Our genial friend Mr.
Geo w. Hunter, of WilIamstown, is

Hunter though a young man, is vet
