HANLON STANDS ALONE.
BrOOkIyn's Manager Conceded to BE
the Rest in the business.

the Rest in the Business.
Ted Sullivan, the well-known base ball
man, has a high opinion Of Ed HanlOn
as a manager. Almost ever since Hanlon
started in the business Sullivan has taken
an interest in him. During conversa-
ton the other day regarding Han,on' S
career Sullivan said:
when Hanlon was driven out of Pitts
burg he got the chance of his life at Balti-
more. He had a little money, and he went
to that city and took charge of the base
ball team. He put his money into it and
he made 1t a success. At the close of 1893
some of the National League clubs were ex-
perimentng with some young blood which
they got from the minors This is where
Hanlon showed himself to be an expert in
knowing what constituted winning play
err By artfu trading he got keeler from
Brooklyn, Jennings from Louisville and
Kelley from Pittsburg. McGraw and Robin
son were already in the Baltimore club.
Mr.. Hanlon dumfounded the magnates, who
had those three players on the reserve list,
by stating that he would give his tried and
seasoned timber for those novices. They
did not give Mr.. HanlOn tine to tn nix 1t over.
or recall his offer. but snapped then and
there for those three peerless, bright lights
of the base ball profession.
Now, the difference was this, between
Hanlon and the other magnates, Hanlon
knew eagles from jackdaws. and diamonds
from cobb.eStOneS. So, with the addition
of those men. Kelley, Keller and Jennings,
and some other new blood he picked up, he
formed a necleus for champion club that
carried his banner to victory for five years.
The Baltimore team won the pennant in
1891, 1895 and 1896 and came in second in
1897 and 1885, After his team was trans
ferred to Brooklyn they won in 1899 and
again this season
NOW let me state to the public that Mr..
HanlOn, with any other class of men than
what he had could not win a championship.
l will further state that without the elbow
room he gets from Mr. Won Der Horst in
the way of supreme command he would not
be successful. All these things, taken to-
gether with his remarkable judgment On
players, makes him the most successful
man of his times in base ball. Like all sue
cessfui people, however, luck follows in
his train, and he gets credit sometimes for
things he had no more control over than Ii
Hung Chang At one time he offered to
sell Jennings to either Philadelphia or
Louisville, when that matchiess player had
lost the use CT his throwing arm while play
ing short. So. after they refused, it was an
afterthought to put Jennings on first, and
the attempted sale of Jennings put you In
mind of a man who fell into a river and
was saved from drowning by a life pre-
server he had on his person of which he
was not aware =
Mr.. Hanlon's success can be summed
up in one simple sentence. to use base
ball phrase. he knows the conner and the
EOer. ~

PLAYERS NOT IMPROVING.
Manager Tom Burns Says Oid-Timers
Cannot BE Beat.

Tom Burns, the old Chicago third base
man, who managed the Springfelds of the
Eastern League this year, has studied base
bali in all its phases, and his opinion is
worth good deal. He says:
Base bail has not improved in the last
twelve years. The game is no faster and
the players do not possess that individual
ity which made the stars of 1888 the talk
OF the sporting world. New men are being
constantly tried, and so many new faces
are appearing that the base ball public
finds it a difficult matter to keep track of
the players. In the old days players lasted
longer and became identified with the cities
in which they played. The only cubs in
the league that have followed out the
policy of keeping the old favortes as long
Is possible are Boston and Philadelphia
and if the other clubs did the same ,Ae
game would be benefited.
LAS far as the playing goes there is no
difference that l can see. Take. for in
stance, Burdock when he was on the Bos-
ton team in 1884. He was the king of sec
Ond basemen and a wonder. So were Fred
Pfeffer, Bid McPhee and Fred Dunlap. Is
there any second basemen in the league to-
day better than these men? / think not.
Take John Morrill,, John Reilly and Al. Nc
Kinnon for another example. They were
magnificent first basemen. Does any one
mean to say that Tenney and Jennings are
any better? Was there ever better short
stop than Ed. Williamson, Jack GlaSScock
or Frank Fennelly? / admit that Collins of
Boston is about the best third baseman i
ever saw, but he doesn't have much af
lead over Jerry Denny, who was a natural
ball player, and one of the greatest. Then
we mustn't forget that Johnny Ward was a
wonderful base runner and pioneer IN
scientific batting. There is no man in the
National League today who can bunt any
better than Ward used to-
In the outfield had men who were
just as sensational as those of the present
time, particularly Andrews, Fogarty,
Dickey Johnston, Corkhil. Harde Richard
son. Ed Hanlon and Joe Hornung.
Look at the pitchers, too Has any
body excelled Tim Keefe, Jim Whitney,
Charley Buffinton, John Clarkson, Tom
Ramsey, Will White, Charley Radbourne,
Sweeney, Mccormick, Mickey WEIGH, Bob
coran? l also doubt il there is catcher
on the field today who is in the same class
with Buck Ewing, Charley Bennett. King
Kelly, Doc Bushong and Silver Flint"

STUDENTS SELLING TICKETS.
YaIe-Harvnrd Game Harvest for
Ticket Spectators.

III
Ticket Spectators.
The Yale foot ball management at New
Haven yesterday adopted drastic measures
to check speculative traffic in the tickets
for the Yale Harvard game next Saturday.
Robert Hixon. the president Of the Univer-
sity Foot Ball Association. caused to ap-
pear in the college paper, over his own
signature, a communication In which he an
nounced that tickets allotted to three men
had been fonnd In the hands OF spectators.
He gave the names of the men, two of
whom members of the foot ball squad,
ard who had the best tickets available. The
other offending Yale man is post-gradu-
ate. Tickets In the hands of SPECTATORS
are selling for unprecedented prices. Some
In the end stand have brought SIS for two
and so for three. In the side stands the
figures have been $50 for three.
1t is officially announced that there are
counterfeit tickets on the market. and a
plan has beeh adopted which is expected to
prevent confusion. The ushers will have a
full list of persons to whom tickets have
been allotted. In case two sets Of tickets
are presented and a dispute arises the
ushers will consult these lists. and those
holding tickets corresponding to the record
OF the foot bail management will be given

Saengerbund
New Hall League May Yet Organize.

A special from Milwaukee says that A. H
Koch of that city, one of the principal lights
in the National Base Ball Association re-
ceived letters from the east yesterday in
reference to the circuit in that part of the
country. but he refused to make their con-
tents known. He said: we have positive
assurance from eastern parties that they
can go ahead without Baltimore, but that
there is still hitch over one city. We are
ready in the west with four cities-Milwau-
kee, Chicago, st. Louis and Detroit. We
will know definitely by next Monday
whether not We will go ahead. If not
will announce to the pubic that such is
the case, so that the American League can

the seats. and the others will be elected
from the field.
The practice at Yale field yesterday after
noon was a brisk one. The public was
not admitted until nearly $3.50 o'clock.
Scarcely five minutes of open playing was
INDUCED in. the work of the secret practice
having been continuous and heavy. The
two rush lines, varsity and substitute, were
put to the test, however, in scrimmaging.
The scrubs could make but little impression
on the varsity defense. Holt, the substi
tute center, an aggressive player. succeeded
in breaking through once and blocking
Sharpes punt. Close observers are forced
to admit the splendid physical condition in
which the team that will face Harvard seems
to be after such stiff work as the last three
weeks have held for them. 1t seems pos
s!hle that the varsity line as it played
against Princeton last Saturday, will be
that in the coming game. but possibly
Fincke will be al quarter, Sharpe and Chad
wick half back and Hale at full back.

FIRST GAME.

The second game was rather interesting
at brief stages but solely on account of the
closeness of the score, as neither side made
good totals. Giovannetu poodled twice and
had great difficulty in getting away from
the edge of the alleys The visiting team
made miserable finish, and the Coumbias'
should have overtaken them at this point.

BELOW STANDARD BOWLING.
COIumbiaS and Jolly Fat Men Meet In
Three Games.


Three Games.
There were three miserably bowled games
at the Columbia alleys last night, partici-
pated in by the Columbias and the Jolly
Fat Mems teams. Not once in any of the
three games did either team make credit
able score, and the match was unworthy of
the District League. The ColuInbias
pecially were incompetent, and their play
was uniformly bad. Scanion alone made an
attempt to average we'll and succeeded in
getting two good scores. but his colleagues
were decidedly weak. The opposing team
was almost as bad, though one or two of
the men made ambitious efforts to win and
thereby made fair scores, though none
maintained good string throughout the
series. Mason showed up poorly for Column
bia in the opening game. and his place was
taken by Giovannetti in the succeeding
event. Mr.. Giovannetti cinched the low
score trophy at once. Throughout the
match the games Jagged and were excep-
tionally uninteresting.
In the first game the corpulent bowlers
made wild dash at the pins for a couple
OF frames, but here II ended, and for some
innings 1t was possible for Columbia to
have caught their competitors. The play

Pennsylvania repeated the tactics of the
first part of the game and never lost the
ball until Hare was pushed over for the
second touch down of the game. The ball
was punted out. but it went wild and Penn
sylvania lost her opportunity of a goal
In the second half Wallace made the first
touch down, Hare kicking the goal. In five
minutes of play Davidson scored another
touch down and J. Gardiner kicked the
goal. The next score was by the navy on
a tumble by Davidson. Read falling on the
ball over the Pennsylvania goal line. Long

The last game proved of some interest
since there were one two features out of
the ordinary The game had been closely
played, and the result was wholly matter
o. conjecture from the start. Not over
twenty pins stood between the teams at
any point In the fourth frame Stitt turned
the almost impossible shot 4, 5, I, 8 into a
feat, some of his friends on the South

witnessing the contest presenting him with
handsome indication of their esteem In
the last frame after spare had been made
by Capt Geyer of the Fat Mems team, he
claimed a balk on his last roll, which was
allowed by the Columbia's captain. Geyer
made seven pins this roll, but on the
second attempt failed to secure more than
five. the difference being just sufficient to
prevent tie and to give the game to CO.
lumbia. The score follows:
