ton nine has ever stood so far down on
the list in a pennant race. 1t has al
ways been UP among the first four, at
least.
In the American league the Chicago
White Stockings are more than keep
ing up their phenomenal gait, without
a sign of faltering. While Boston is
still sticking close to ChicagO's rear
wheel, it has lost a few laps the past
week and is now in danger OF Delng
overtaken and passed by Muggsy
McGraw's flock Of orioles. Detroit is
the only one among the rest that mas
any show for the first division
The struggle for supremacy in both
leagues has been one of the closest ana
most interesting for years, but even at
that the financial side of il has been
unsatisfactory in a number of cities.
This caused the American league TO
send a representative around the Ma
tional circuit last week to see if there
could not be some agreement reached
/ between the two leagues to curtail ex
/ peEses. With the two big organlza-
/ lions fighting each other there cannot
| help being a bigger outlay OF money
than is really necessary 1t would not
/ be surprising if some arrangement is
made whereby the two leagues VIII
/ respect each others contracts, adopt
nOn-cOnfiicung dates wherever posi-
( BILE and work more in harmony one
| thing is certain. and that is this years
| big salaries will receive an awful jolt
before the teams line up next season
/ Sam Crawford. who is now Cincin-
nati's star OUtfieldeT, was once a pitch
/ eF. One of his early tTiumphs in the
/ box was against a team of full-blooded
Indians in WymOre, Neb., in 1898.
Crawford pitched for WymOTe against
h. eHra Hs4H- fna
of them, winning the game, TO 2.
/ The same Indian team. however, batted
/ the ex-Cincinnau pitcher, Billy Dam
mann, very hard the next year at New
Madison, O., Dammann pitching for the
/ New Madison team. The Indian team
was managed by Guy W. Green for
/ some years, and il Travelled all over the
middle west, playing usually in coun-
try towns Green tells q story of one
rural manager who asked him whether
/ the Indians carried their players bench
with them or expected the home team
to furnish them one.
! The national regatta for amateur
l Oarsmen is over and the Worcester
wonder Edward Hanlay Ten Eyck,
again carried off the championship.
: Young Ten Eyck is certainly the mar
vel of this age. At Henley, when only
Is years old, he defeated the cracks OF
/ all countries. He won his first nation
. al championship at Philadelphia in
/ 1897. He entered no races again until
1899, when he again captured the Amer
/ lean championship, this time on the
J Charles river, Boston, rowing against
Joe Mcguire and Whitehead. Zen
I Eyck is an oarsman with as pretty
style as one would care to see. From
Z the time he first took to the sport,
when a member Of the Worcester High
I school crew, he has had the benent OF
his fathers experience, the elder Ten
Eyck having coached him ever since
Ten Eyck was a student at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania for two years,
but took no part in aquattcs Whlle
there beyond keeping in condition. His
work at Henley, when he won the dla-
mond SOULS. was a revelation 10 the
EnClishrnen. and the defeat has ran
killed. in their hearts ever since, espec-
tally so because of the ease with Which
the young American rowed his Oppo-
nents down.
H. o. BIackstaff OF the Vesta Row
ing club. one OF Ten Eyck's victims
won the WingfieId SOULS which carries
the title Of an amateur scul1ng cham
pion Of Great Britain, last Monday
Tbe race was over the Thames cham
/ pionship course and his nearest com
petitors were twenty lengths to the
rear.
, Young Corbett's victory over Kid
Broad at the Colorado Athletic club
stamps kZm as a full fledged aspirant
for the championship. It was not IN
expected by some and, in fact, The
Herald touted the Kid as winner
! two weeks ago. The writer was N
Denver when he had his first go with
/ Broad and also witnessed the Eddie
Santry bout. in the first match if the
Kid had had more confidence and
I gone in on Broad when he had the lat
ter shaky-mixed it UP good and hard
there would have been no necessity
for a second battle.
Horbett learned a good lesson in that
fight and has fsfted by it. His tao
, tics in the Lantry mill were directly OPP
posite to those employed against
Broad He went right after his man
from the tap of the bell with both
hands, boring in all the time without
seconds let-up-
= Santry simply was dazed by the
shower of blows rained lin on him and
when he shifted for wind and TO set

after him so fast 1t was the same

punch hid away in the right. He is

will simply keep the men in his class
and dispose of them first. Then maj

I first appearance in the east in

before Tom O'Rourke's new club a
Bridgeport, Conn, which he give

inducements were made to Hart for

to try some of the other easterner
