GREATEST SECOND BAsEMAN.
General Belief That "Bid" McPhee's
Equal VIII Never Live.


Equal Will Never Live.
John Alexander McPhee. manager Of the
Cincinnati club. must sweat blood on the
bench when he sees his infield fall down on
all sorts Of plays and overlook all kinds of
opportunities. for Mac in his career did not
know what It was to play such ball. His
great work is more to be appreciated now
that he Is out of 1t.
H. G. Merrill Of wIkesbarre. Pa. be-
lieves that McPheeis equal will never live.
and in a recent letter to the Sporting News
he gives figures which show how brilliant
player McPhee was. Merrill says:
THE other day. in RESPONSE to an inquiry
from enthusiast Concerning the records
made by Dunlap and Burdock, the premier
second basemen of The 'B0s. was led to
make a comparison aor the work OF these
men. accounted the wonders Of the old
school, with that offtf1e favorfte Bid Nc
Phee, the present manager of the Cinein-
natl team. I inclfned to think that
base paIi will never fbrodace or know Of
with that of Bid McRhea in the matter of
fielding, for either single season or a
number of years. in consistent and regular
playing McPhee Efs9ra Tor 1896 Is some
that season. and out 81 a total Of 6G9
chances made only t#AveS errors: For the
sake of comparison II place McPhee's rec
ord of 1886 alongside of that of Dunlap for
1886:

McPhee. 1896 80. ZIG 800 358 - 9S2
Dunlap 1886. 49,. .122 342 4O1 SIS 1881
Figuring that McPhee, in 1896, made but
a single error in any game, his record of
1895 means that he played perfect ball in
104 - Of 116 games in season of hard
National League campaigning This is a
record never before created by any second
baseman, and compared with the work of
Dunlap in 1886. when he played with St.
Louis and Detroit, in 122 games, is a mar
velous showing. Were any other man to

WILMINGTON METHODIST CONFERENCE
To Hold Its Annual Session at Seaford,
Beginning on March goth.


To Hold Its Annual Session at Seaford,
Beginning on March goth.
The next annual session of the Will
miugton Methodist Conference will be
held at Seatord, beginning on We'd
nesday, March Goth, and all of the
preachers in the conference will preach
their farewell sermons on tho 17th and
most OF them will go to Seafofd on the
following day, as a preliminary meeting
will be held on Tuesday, March 10th.
Judging from present Indications,
there will be nothing of more than
usual Importance 10 come before the
body, although 1t is little early to
predict as a great deal might develop
during the next two weeks. So far as
is known, however. there are no mat
ters of unusual Importance slated for
to come up will be the temperance
question. Reports will be made of the
work done before the Legislatures of
this State and Maryland and plans will
be formulated for the future.
1t is said that the number of pastoral
changes will be less than for several
years. judging by present indications,
as large number of ministers have
been invited to return. Some have,
however, indicated that changes are
desirable and their wishes will be re-
spected. sl
In Wilmington it is likely that there
will be changes at Asbury, Scott,
Brandywine, Mt. Salem, SiiVerbrook
and Madeley Churches, although the
pastors at some of those churches may
6e prevailed upon to return. 1t is
pretty definitely settled that the Rev.
L. A. II. O'Brien of MIllsboro, Md,
will come to Mt. Salem and the Rev.
William l.. White OF Lewes will come
to Brandywine, but there is nothing
certain about the other pastorates. The
Present. pastors of Union, Grace, Harri-
son Street, Kingswuod and Goodman
Churches will probably he sent back
for another year.
