BASE BALL NOTES.

It has been rumored that with Rob-
 inson managing the Baltimore club in the American association, McGraW
 might have q similar position in the same association in New York. If it
 is true that he has cut loose from the American league it equally is true that there is a comfortable berth waiting
 for him to creep into.
 With two leagues in New York, the promise of up-to-date players ill both
 and interesting state of war between
 the American league and the National
 league, backed Ey it's new ally. the
 American association, there would be
 plenty of excitement in base ball the
 coming season.
 It is reported from Boston that
 Frank Selee. the manager of the Bos- ton club. has purchased Catcher Pat
 rick Moran from the Montreal club of | the Eastern league. Moran was the
 star catcher of the league and was well
 up in the batting averages. He has | played four seasons, and last year
 caught sixty out of the first sixty three games for his club Moran is only g
 years old and Selee thinks he has se- cured a prize.
 The base ball association is now be-
 fore the public, It is laboring to raise S1, ,OOO to begin pennant season in the Connecticut league. The charter is to
 remain here in Bristol. It is assured that under no circumstances can New
 Britain or Danbury obtain it. Collect
 ors are canvassing the town to-day and full Dlooded cranks are responding with contributions. Frank Reisling will manage the team.--Bristol core sponlent of the Hartford Globe.

MISTAKEN FOR "JoHN L."
A Amusing AnecGote Rexsrd!nS z the Late Sir Arthur
 Sullivan.

Among the many anecdotes of the late Sir Arthur Sullivan which have been travelling through two hemi- spheres since the death of the eminent composer, the following, as told in Sir Arthur's own words, is by no means the worst, says the Brooklyn Eagle: /
 II was travelling on a stage in a rather wild part of California, and ar- rived at mining camp, where we, had to get down for refreshments. As we drove up the driver said: They are expecting you, Mir. Sullivan 1 was much pleased, and when l reached the place I found knot of prominent citi- zens at the whisky store. The fore most of them came up to big burly man by my side and said: Are you Mir. Sullivan?' The man said sNo,' and pointed to me. The citizen looked at me rather contemptuously, and after awhile said: Why, how much do you weigh?'
 "I thought this was curious method of testing the power of a composer, but at once answered: About 162 pounds. 'Well,' said the man, that's odd to me, anyhow. Do you mean to say that you gave fits to John s. Black more down in Kansas City?' I said: No; did not give him fts.' He then said: Well, who are yon?' I Ireplied: My name is Sullivan sAir't you John L. Sullivan, the slugger?' disclaimed d all title to that, and told him was Ar thur Sullivan. 'Oh, Arthur Sullivan 2 he said. Are you the man as put 'sPin- afore" together ?'-rather gratifying way of describing my composition. ] said: 'Yes.' Well, returned the cit ixen, I am sorry you .Ain,t.

Walthour Sprints to the Tape In the
 Last Lap and Wins.
 Boston, January 7.-As thrilling as the finish of the siX-day team cycle race in Madison Square Garden, New York last month was the conclusion of the siX-day race in Park Square Garden here Saturday night. The last day of the contest brought out q great attendance of spectators, the building being packed afternoon and evening.
 In the final sprint Walthour finish cd first. The distance covered in the total riding time of sixty hours was l ,099 miles, laps.
 The features of the afternoon riding were the fight for the honor of lead ing the field at the completion of one part of ''Archie' McEachern to run away from the field. Both were splen- did efforts. and deserved the hearty applause which they received. A few laps before the completion of the ten century mark the men maneuvred for position, and Me Eachern went out and started for the tape. Stinson was watching him. and, coming out from the field dashed to the. front and finished the thousand miles ten yards to the good. The time
 
 32 2-5s. Soon after this performance Me Eachern startled every one by going out and stealing almost a third of q lap before any one started after him. Stinson came cut from his usual po- stion in fifth place and started after the Canadian. Walthour caught him as he went by, and the-G&nbridge lad pulled him along. McEachern was val ff,n,. h1It after sprinting for four laps, over hauled him!
 At the opening of the final sprint. of the afternoon Mclean fell and was temporarily out of the race. When the sprint came the men laid over their handle bars and on the fifth lap Kaser started to go out, but McEachern was the first to get under way, and he held the place of honor to the close of the afternoon period of riding.
 Despite the fact that in his fall Me Lean severely wrenchedShis fractured collar bone, he came out for the even ing riding. The men came to the tape for the new start in clean racing cos tune. The foreigners were presented with bouquets by Miss Mclean, sister of Hugh Mclean, one of the contest ants Soon after the start Fischer went down, but he was quickly mp again uhlnJufeu.

ENGLAND's BEST JOCKEY HERE.
Sammy Loates Says American System
 of Riding His Some Advantages.

Of Riding His Some Advantages.
 One of the first men to walk down the gangplank from the Kaiserin Maria Theresa after she had been moored to her dock yesterday was the English jockey, Sammy Loates. Loates, who is accompanied by his wife, will remain in this country about six weeks. He has not decided where he shall go or what he shall do. but it is probable that he will go to California. While in New York Mr and Mrs Loates will be the guests of Jack Mcdonald, who met them at the dock yesterday This English rider, who was second to Lester Reiff on the list of winning jockeys in England last year, did not have much to say of him. self or his plans, or of the American jockeys. ''There is vast difference between the English and American styles of riding" he said when asked about the American jockeys who rode in England last year. ''ThOse differ ences are pretty old story now. Everybody knows about the short stirrup particularly. Well, some of our jockeys have shortened their stir rup feathers. The American system has some advantages, and these will be adopted by the English riders. It was pretty~close thing for first place between Reiff and myself in England but he beat me. I shall be here about six weeks, but as yet cannot tell what 1 will do.''

GOAL TENDERS AVERAGES.

Yesterdays Hartford Globe tells of Saturday nights game as follows:
 Wodtke's phenomenal playing was the only feature of the game at the Coliseum last night. when 1900 en- 1huSiastic cranks saw Hartford defeat the demoralized Meriden contingent, 10 to I, in a game which abOunded in brilliant plays. poor play and worse than that. Hobe Whiting was absent, owing to njuries. and Eddie Mooney, who essayed to ill his position, was outclassed at all points. He became so bewildered during the last period that lie was about to drive for his own, cage and would have done so but for Pierce. who took the bali away
 At no time after the first few min- utes of the opening period was the game in doubt, and then the Hartford men were prevented from filling the cage only because Hef1ernan pushed out some wicked drives which threat ened to carry him off his feet.
 After Meriden had scored two goals in the first five minutes of play. Cot fer slammed the ball past Heffernan. and this turned the tide. for Wodtke ended the period by scoring two more goals and the inning closed with Hart ford 3. NIeriden ?.
 Wodtke's juggling and driving for the wire was the feature of the sec ond period. The German was inyinci- hle. It was q treat 10 watch the an tics of Whiting and Mooney in their fruitlesS endeavors to stop the Ger man. He would dart in and out among the players as though they were wooden images, and at the -elose of the inning. when Hartford had scored six successive goals and the visitors had been left stranded at the post. the rooters let out several warwhoops which would have put band of Com anches to flight.
 Pierce was out of form and after the second inning he gave up in dis gust, but Curtis awoke the spectators with start when he was called to ac- count for rough playing, and earned a foul for holding Starkie back of the cage. The youngster worked like q Trojan. and aided by Bill Whiting, prevented the Indians from running up a much larger score.
 In spite of the one-sided score the interest of the spectators was Kept up to she last by the beautiful combna- fion plays of Wodtke and Doilerty, who went to the center in the last pc fiod, while Main appeared at halfback. Gotter leaving the floor to his substi- 4ute.
