Put the Bristol team up in Hartford, take the best of the players of the Derby team for q nucleus for Spring field, put the Norwich team in. Worces- ter and the New London team in Hol- yoke, then with New Haven, Bridge port, Meriden and Waterbury we would have a compact little league that would pay and the fans would see some great baseball.
 At a meeting of the Eastern league in the Hotel Victoria. New York, yes terday it was decided unanimously to play out the schedule of games for the present season with seven clubs. No new club will be taken into the circuit until next year. The meeting was en- tirely harmonious. The clubs repre- scented were: Providence, President George r. Greasy and Manager Mur- ray; Rochester, President l.. F. Hig- gins and George W. Sweeney; Toronto, President Edward Mack; Montreal, James F. Shearer; Brockton, w. J. Leonard, and Worcester. F. Fl. Hurley. Buffalo was not represented, James Franklin, the president of the club, sending word that he was detained in this city on official business.
 If the Pittsburgs win the champion ship this season will be the first year since 1886 that q player-manager has achieved that distinction i'll the Ma tiOnal league. Adrian c. Anson, .'the noblest Roman of them all,' was the last player-manage to win pennant in the league. That was back i'll the days when the Chicago White Stock ings were an a1l-conquering band and when Willie Keeler, 'Hansy" Wag- ner, Joe Kelley, Johnny McGraw, Clarkey Griffith. Happy Lajoie, Lit tie Danny Green, Christy Matthew son, Rhody Wallace and other present day stars were awaiting with dread the sound of the morning bell sum- morning them to school. After AnsOn came Watkins, manager of the De- troits; then Jim AIutrie. with his Gi- ants; then McGunnigle, with the BrOokIyns. in 1890, and since then Selee and Han1on. It looks. too, with Boston and Chicago fighting for the American league pennant. that a pIayer-manager would do the trick i'll that organization.

sHAMRooK's EvENTFUL DAY.
Narrow Escape From Collision
 Caught in a squall.

New York, Sept 13.-The Shamrock, while out sailing yesterday nearly came in collision with the steam yacht Giralda, and then got caught in a forty-mile squall, which she rode out in safety.
 When the squall struck the Sham rock it caught her aback, put her ''in irons'' for few moments, and then, taking the full force of it, she laid down until her deck was half under water to leeward. Before she fairly recovered the wind caught her on the other side and heeled her down harder than ever. The big mast never buck led, but stood the immense strain won derfully we'll As soon as the yacht gathered way, Captain Seymour found himself inside buoy No 6 several lengths, and it locked as if the yacht would ground herself before she could tack She came around in time, how ever. to avert the accident Mrs Jameson and several of the guests went below during the squall, as the danger of the mast going was realized. The Shamrock made fact to her moor ings at 2:30.
 
 came just as the Shamrock had start ed back for Sandy Hook at a twelve knot clip. The Giralda's captain, evi- dently not realizing the Shamrock's great speed, attempted to cross her bow Captain, Sycamore of the Sham rock was unable to keep the yacht off because of the press tug Unity under her lee. When he cleared the latter, the Giralda was right under his lee, starboard bow. To clear her he almost had to gybe the yacht. The men jump ed for the port preventer back stays to slacken them. The main boom was already swinging over when the Cir aida, under full speed, fairly crossed the Shamrock's bow. and the danger was over. Not more than fifty feet sep arated them, and if the Shamrock had hit her she would undoubtedly have sunk her.

MITCHELL HAS MONEY.

Charley Mitchell is great admirer George Gardiner, the middleweight pugilist who defeated Kid Carter. the other night at San Francisco. Gard iner is now matched to box Joe Wal cott the latter part of the month. Many shrewd judges of boxing think that Walcett will meet his Waterloo. Mitchell, who has followed Gardiner's career from the start. announces that he is willing to bet as much as 5000 that Gardiner will whip Walcott. The Englishman is prepared to wager this amount in small sums. Mitchell has been in communication with Gardiner for some time and expects to clinch a contract with him whereby he will have charge of Georges affairs

Champion Jeffries has now reached the point where he must say yes or no regarding his match with Ruhlin. Man ager Gleason, of the Twentieth Gen. tury club of San Francisco, has gone to Harbin Springs to ask Jeffries and his manager, Delaney, what they mean by declining to post their $2,50o for felt for the fight. Gleason says there is certainly mystery about the failure of the boilernaker and his business agent to. make good their side of the bargain. They are perhaps imbued with, the idea that they are not bound by any rules that affect Ruhlin and his side of the fight. but they are reckon ing without their host It seems strange conduct for a champion who means business a @ is

RUBE FERNS AMBITION.

Jim Ferns, who is now in training for his fight with Frank Erne, has posted a forfeit of $100 and issued a formal challenge to fight Tommy Ryan for the middleweight championship, The classes are becoming sadly mixed from existing conditions. Erne, the lightweight champion, recently fought the featherweight champion. Now the lightweight champion is about to fight the welterweight champion, who, in turn, is challenging the tniidd1ewefght champion. Ferris would have done well to omit tile challenge to Ryan until he finishes with Erne.

DICK o,BRIENs MISTAKE.

"Dick O'Brien, who was in his day one of the best middleweights in the ring, has quit the ring. High living did not agree with O'Brien." Yes, that's true, and it's a warning to other noted fighters to cease these late Waldorf suppers. A continuous diet of cham pagne, frappe, pate de fois gras, biscuit Tortoni, etc, will shatter the health of the most vigorous fighters.
