Yellow Tails Race.

NEW YORK, May 5.-John Hack etts' Yellow Tail, with 120 pounds on his back and admirably ridden by Wa terbury, won the Montague stakes, the feature event at Jamaica. The winner was at the remunerative odds of 80 to l. The big son of Watercress ran the one mile and sixteenth in I'm. 46 2-5s., which equals the mark set by Black stock in the Excelsior handicap on the opening day. Injunction cut out the running to the stretch, where Water bury sent Yellow Tail to the leader and in a driving finish won by one length, with Injunction second and the favorite, Africander, third. Starter Fitzgerald was served with an injunc- tion prohibiting him from using the starting machine. Judge Pettingill then went in to do the starting and after using the barrier for the first two races was compelled to resort to the re- call system, the association having been served with a second injunction.

Spiesman, the former New Haven catcher, didn't move his swatstick in one of his turns at bat. Three of the four balls pitched were called strikes and Mir Spiesman remained so rigid that Captain O'Brien thought he was frozen.--W Worcester Spy.
 Napoleon Lajoie seems to be getting back into his old form. At any rate he is fielding well, though his stick work is yet a trif1e light for him. It is a good guess that the Frenchman was a big help in drawing nearly 10O00p peo- pie to the game in Chicago yesterday.
 Louis Sockalexis the notorious In dian ball player, Is again on the mar. ket. He has been cut loose by Lowell and is trying to get on with some minor league team. Tn form the Indian was one of the best in the business, but his desire for interior decorations of the bility of his ever being in first-class shape again.-Springfield Union.
 The two oldest men in fast company are Jimmy Ryan of Washington and Jimmy Mcclure of Detroit. Ryan went to Chicago in the fall of 1883 as left-hand pitcher, and McGuire SuuSAL LOhJ Ill AoiSuV AA AcCA" Trimmer made his appearance in 1886, and so did Jack O'Connor. Van Hal tren came east in 1887 to pitch for Chi cago. Jim O'Rourke played first base for the Bostons in the early '7Os, and is really the veteran of all veterans, while "Doggie'' Miller caught in liar risburg as early as 1882, going to Pitts burg in 1888.
 The more New Londoners see of Staub the more they wonder why it was they laughed at him when he made his appearance here last season. When Charley Clancy learned from Manager Shea that he had signed Staub he said: 'Well, you've got one of the best pitchers in this league" Staub is one of the warm weather pitchers and a day like Saturday is bad one for him, yet he gave the knowing ones a chance to think that they could ex- pect something from him in the future. With such a bunch as that of Water bury last season it's not to be wonder ed that the best pitcher would be dis hAartened. The players were all good enough but they did not care what happened and surely did not work to win.--New London Telegraph.

 Daniel o'Nell, one of the men inter- ested in the Holyoke base ball fran chise, had some remarks to make yes terday anent the interview with Law yer James J. O'Donnell. MT O'NeiPs version of the matter Is this way, as he put it himself yesterday: Jimmie Is good fellow, but he always has his mitt out. The transactions in relation to the transfer of the franchise were entirely on the square as far as l know and there was no collusion. No knocking was indulged in and it was simply a case of spot cash for the goods. Jimmie, I understand, would have been satisfied with the deal if Welch could be elected to manage the club. It was said Friday night that the Welch bidders were willing to draw if he would be given the proper consideration for the managerial berth" At midnight the boys were still waiting around and then Roger and Reilly decided to run no chances and so accepted Becker's offer. We mean to make the team hummer and will give the Holyoke boys a run for their money. Let's all join hands now and make the club a success. There is no bad feeling on our side and don't see why there should be any on the part of the others"

'Such a mite of a fellow" "Can he make hit at any time ?' "Well, he's as large as the Cardinals pitcher, anyway and similar expres- sions were heard. A moment later and the diminutive player had made the hit. .~
 More than that, he gathered in that game just one-half of all the hits credited to his team, and fielded his position like a Dahlen. Strangely enough, it WIZ" zen to an extra man an infic..>: t.Ao may not be seen in many games for this club-to cap ture this honor. His side partner, Joe Tinker, playing in strange terri tory--third base-made the first run of the season.

CHICAGO, May 5.-Golden Rule, backed from to 2 to to 5, beat Bur nie Bunton, the odds on favorite in the third race and feature event on the card at Worth.

Jockey Dominick rode three winners.

Minor Sporting Notes.

Sir Liang, the new Chinese minister at Washington, has special claim for popularity with the American people he is ball player and lover of the national game. Sir Liang learned to play ball while student at Phillips academy, in Andover, Mass.,-he was educated in this country. He mastered the curve in pitching by watching the games of the Hartford Nationals, and when the college team was in need of a pitcher insisted upon being given a chance to prove his worth in the box. No one was aware of his ability and great was their astonishment when he struck out one after another of those who came to bat. From that day Liang took first place among the ath- letes of the academy. He has never lost his interest in the game.
