Third Trial Of Shamrock III Demon
strates Challenger's Superioritv.

GOUROCK. April 2.-The third series of
trials of the ShamrockIII was held today
under conditions similar to those of yes
terday. The wind had rather less strength.
but 1t was fresh and squally at times
This was welcomed, as yesterdays display
of the challenger for the Americas cup
left suspicion among some yachtsmen that
three might be conditions under which
the Shamrock could almost II not quite
hold the new boat. The latter's gear, which
was stretched under yesterdays strain,
was set up afresh yesterday evening.
The boats started on the first trial today
from or Toward Point There their sheets
were trimmed and they reached in close
company till abeam Of Skelmorlie buoy.
where they luffed and beat to windward

showed great ability on this important
point of sailing and went further ahead
and further to w1ndward on every tack
and in half an hours sailing beat the
Shamrock / by four minutes
The next trial was spinnaker run down
the wind. The breeze was steady and of
moderate strength. The Shamrock l. was
given lead of exactly one minute, but
closed the gap overlapped her and ten
minutes later had drawn clear ahead the
distance covered being between four and
five miles.

After starting on another turn to wind
ward. from Largs to Rothesay, about six
miles, the Shamrock III again outfooted
her opponent on every tack The wind
freshened, but the fresher it became the
better it seemed to suit the new boat,
which finished this beat to windward half
a mile ahead.
On turning the yachts set their spin
makers for another trial down the wind.
The Shamrock l was about three minutes
astern at the start, but with a better wind
from the bay she shortened the gap until
she was barely two minutes behind.

STANLEY FOR PHILLIES.
Washington Boys Contract Too Strong
for Boston Club.

The Philadelphia National League club
now has chance to secure Stanley, the
hard-hitting outfelder of the New Orleans
club. President Newman of the New Or
leans club. who is at Hot Springs, Ark,
yesterday received letter from Manager
Campau saying that Manager Bucken-
berger of Boston had decided to return
Stanley to New Orleans rather than stand
the fight which New Orleans threatened to
make for the prince Of minor league out
fielders.
President Newman at once told Pres1-
dent Dreyfus Of the Pittsburg club. who is
acting for Philadelphia. that he would now
talk business regarding Stanley. Mr.. New
mann said:
II would have spent $4,000 rather than
allow Stanley to be taken from me, and
l told them SO. Now I have Stanley
back. but 1 will gladly sell his release.
Stanley's playing needs no recommendation.
He Is the best in the business. 1 have told
Mr.. Dreyfus that If Philadelphia wants
Stanley I will talk sale"

800 st. Louis Fair Stakes.

The base ball game at the American
League Park yesterday afternoon between
the Philadelphia National League team and
Manager Lotus Senator's resulted in
victory for the locals by the score of to 4.
1t was a splendid exhibition Of the national
plays made during the contest the 1000
fans who occupied the bleachers and grand
stand were inclined to think 1t was the
middle of the season, when each member
Of the team is supposed to be In the best
of form. The Senators outplayed the Wis
itors at every point. although the Ph!lllcs
piled up three runs before Lotus men
seemed to get their eyes on the ball. The
lead of the visitors, however made the
carly part of the contest all the more excit-
ing to the enthusiasts who witnessed the
sport.
This game was the first that has been
played between teams of the National and
American Leagues since the settlement of
the bitter controversy between the two Or
ganiza lions, and interesting feature Of
the contest yesterday, which was noticed
and remarked upon favorably by those who
follow base ball. was the geniality and
friendliness displayed during the game by
the players Of the two teams. 1t Is highly
gratifying to mark such evidences Of good
feeling between those connected with the
two leagues, and it indicates forc:bly that
all differences. especially between the play
ers themselves, have been buried and will
be forgotten.

The Business High School base ball team
turned the tables on the Gallaudet team at
Kendall Green yesterday afternoon by de-
feating it by a score of to 4. In the first
game the Gallaudet boys played finely, but
yesterday they seemed to have no form
whatever, while the Business team. on the
other hand, has improved somewhat since
its last game. Both pitchers showed good
form. McDonough struck out ten men and
Breckett made nine fan the air. Neither
pitcher allowed base on balls. The stick

Uncle Toms Cabin was to have ex-

more than the troupe could afford to
pay. The act of the officials is COM
mendable, as the town has not any
more money now than the people need,
and such an entertainment, though
old, would have been the means of re-
lieving the townspeOple of a large
amount of money.
