IN THE BASE BALL WORLD.
Interesting Gossip About Clubs and
Players ErOm All Sections.

President Brush of the Cincinnati Base
Ball Club may be stickler for gentlemanly
base ball, but he is also one of the most
generous magnates In the league in dealing
with his players. Before the opening of
last season, and after the Brush resolution
had been adopted, the Cincinnati magnate
gave his players to understand that any one
transgressing against the rules and put out
of the game would be fined SO, and added
emphatically that the fine would 60" AS
a result but one of his players, Heinie
PETIT, suffered the penalty, and even this
one case was apparently unjust, as the
money was returned to Peitz by the mag
mates at the late annual meeting. Now
comes the pretty sequel. Recognizing the
fact that almost all his players abded by
his instructions to play clean ball, Presi-
dent Brush recently wrote characteristic
letter to every member of the Cincinnati
club, thanking him for conducting himself
as gentleman, and masmuch as he had
not been penaliZed he demonstrated his ap-
probation by inclosing a check for $50.
Twenty-Five dollars is not a large sum in
itself, but when eighteen players are thus
remembered the aggregate gets into tidy
figures. Mr.. Brush's action finds parai-
lei in base ball history, and besides being
extremely commendabe, will act as sort
of check upon those writer's who are con-
tlnually harping on the subject that the
Cincinnati magnate is not sincere in his eff
forts toward gentlemanly base ball.
1t recently leaked out that President
Freedman of the New York club refused an
offer of Pitchers Dwyer and Breitensten
Tor Pitcher RuSie, and as result of this
refusal the Cincinnati fans" have been
congratulating themselves ever since the
story has been made public. Amos Rusie
has been great pitcher in his day and per
maps next season will get back into his old
time form, but in Frank DWyer and Brei-
tenstein Cincinnati has two of the clever
est tWirlerS in the business. Both are good
hitters and clever fielders and neither de-
pend upon physical eXertion to win games
brains being their chief stock in trade. If
any other club had two pitchers of the
caliber of DWyer and Bretenstein to offer
the New York magnate in exchange for
Rusie, it is more than probable that the
offer would be accepted Freedman and
Brush have agreed to disagree for the past
three or four years and, although the latter
may have felt like relenting at the recent
meeting and burying the Ratchet the form

that is Worthier of better cause Faith
err Chadwick, speaking of the trade recent
iy, said that New York would have been
great gamer by the exchange, and the fol-
lowing Is from his pen:
The alleged offer of Pitchers Dwyer and
Breitenstein of the Cincinnati team for
Pitcher Rusie would have been decided
bargain for New York and quite the reverse
for Cincinnati. Both Dwyer and Breiten-

consolidation of the Orioles and Bride

throw down. of the Baltimore syndicate,
under whose control 1t was expected the
Baltimore club would be the coming season,
Mr.. Hanlon said last night that the with
drawal of Mr.. Won der Horst's offer to sell
did not necessarily mean that he would re-
fuse to consider any proposition to buy the
club In the future. Mr.. Hanlon'S idea is
that he might possibly sell, but that he did
not want to feel bound to sell at a certain
price Robinson and McGraw will go ahead
and If they can complete the formation of
their syndicate will make Messrs Won der
Horst and Hanlon an offer.

COLLEGE ROWING OUTLOOK.
Cornell Not Likely to Race Yale and
Harvard.

From the published correspondence be-
tween the representatives of the rowing IN
terests of Harvard and Cornell universities
1t seems pretty certain that Cornell VIII not
row Yale and Harvard this year. shortly
after Cornell last year defeated Yale for
the second time consecutively and Harvard
for the third time in succession 1t was an
nounced that Cornell would hereafter row
only in races open to all. Open races nave
been the pet idea at Cornell Tor many years
and many efforts have been made TO estap-
lish intercollegiate rowing on a SOUND ana
lasting basis. In pursuance OF TINS WISH
Cornell has met on the water Coiumpid,

race The presence OF 1aie anu hafNafu
would be most welcomed, put they insist
on rowing over the New London course,
WHARF, not more than three crews can race.
Cornell cannot go there. yale ana harvard
will consequently row alone. Inc ioiioWiHs
letter from Captain Hlgglnson OF the mar
ward Roat Club to Captain Fisher or the
Cornell crew expresses HarVards regret at
the result of negotiations:
"a meeting of the representatives or the
vaIa and Harvard Boat Clubs was held In
Roston on January 16 to consider the ar
rangements for the annual race which is TO
be rowed in accordance with the nVe,year
agreement between the two universities
We feel extremely sorry because OF the gooo
record which your crews have so worthily
maintained, that the Cornell crew cannot
see it's way clear to joining US In TINS race
at New London on June 20.
1.-The course at Poughkeepsie was consd-
cred as a possibility, but both we and our
advisers believe the course at New London
to be fairer.
You should reconsider your decision not
to accept the invitation to join us at New
London; we should be very glad to have
you with u.s. We should also, If 1t is posi-
BILE, readjust our date to suit you. At pres
ent it is arranged to meet the convenience
of examinations and the requirements of
the two faculties, and 1t cannot well be
placed earlier than the 18th of June.

ments, hoping that Cornell may add to our
