THE DIAMOND.

Stopping of Sunday Games May Disband City Am-
 jateur League-News of
 the Players. ..E-

Very little is being done in the anna teur baseball line for the coming sum- mer and in all probability the trolley company will be minus many car fares because of the opposition to Sunday baseball. Many people in this city want Sunday baseball. They are will ing to go out into the country districts to enjoy good game of the national pastime but the edict has gone forth that no baseball must be played on Sunday No call has been issued for the meeting of the managers of the City Amateur league which last season furnished such good sport to a lot of people It will be impossible to con- duct the league this year without Sun day baseball.
 The first amateur game of the seas on will be played on Fast Day when the Ramblers of Brooklyn will meet the Orients on the Riverside grounds. The Randblers have a strong team this season and will line up as follows: Mullen, C; Donahue, D: Corcoran, lib; Mack. 2b; Mulligan, 3b; McDermott, ss: Reese, If; Parel1a, of; and Kava- naugh, If.

NATIONALS WIN AGAIN.

Birmingham, March 22.-The New fYork Nationals prof1ted much in their spring training labors through the playing of yesterdays game with the local Southern league team. Up to the seventh inning it was the scrappiest kind of contest, with the score so close that the smallest accident might have proved fatal to the McGraw out alt. In the seventh the men from Gotham did some effective stick work and cfnched victory. The final score was to 3 in their favor. Birming- hams players struggled as though they felt they had chance to beat the vis- itors and the pace they set was just Mathewson had his initial spring try out in the box and four safe hits were made off his delivery. While he made a fair showing, it was evident that the big fellow needed great deal of work before he will be ready to take up his work in the pennant series. Milligan also seemed unsteady at critical times. Catchers Bowerman and Warner did excellent work behind the bat. Bow ernan handled Matty's fings, while Warner worked with the newcomer. The feature of the game was the bat 1ng of Dahlen, who had four safeties to his credit out of i've times at bat.
 Brensnahan did not show his usual skill with the stick, but he f1elded bril- liantly, and as there is no question about his batting ability his fine exhi- bition in the field is the more pleasing.

ment of his defeat he began to give signs of failing vitality. Drink and other dissipations, so long his only ene- my, had full sway for years, and he grew heavy, soft and bloated. It was plain that under no process of rein vigora tion could he ever successfully fight again.
 For a time Sullivan essayed the stage in melodramas and made much money, all of which he squandered. When he found himself without money he discovered that he still had friends. A monster benefit in Madison Square Garden in New York netted him a handsome sum. Knowing his utter IT, responsibility as to money, it was then agreed that the sum should be placed this plan was abandoned. He received the whole of the proceeds of the af- fair, and, as usual, 1t was soon spent.
 Since that time the old fighter has lived precariously, although never actu- ally suffering for the necessaries. He went out with an "Uscle Toms Cabin" company, but his habits were so bad that the organization went to pieces. He was finally forced by de- clfning health to seek the home of his sister in Roxbury, from which, no doubt he will never emerge alive. It is a case of gradual breaking up.
 Sullivan combined all of the quail ties of a good fighter. He was as strong as bull, light on his feet and had abundant fstic skill, and, while possessed of rather inferior mentality, conducted his battles with what Is termed fine headwork," but really with what was no doubt a sort of in- stinct, an element of his genius as a fighter
 Sullivan was personally the most popular fighter of modern years, veri- table hero with nearly all classes. His generosity was unequalled, and it is probable that he gave away much more than he spent on convivial sprees. The hold he had upon his friends and the public is attested by the fact that, although dethroned in his calling, he was ever an interesting figure, com manding attention, good will and money with which to keep the wolf from the door, and receiving great sympathy even from those did not ap- prove of. the so-called manly art''
 It is probable that even to-day, with his glory as fighter far in the dim distance, Sullivan could earn a com- fortable living by appearing in public if he would keep sober and fill his en- agreements.

RAIN WITH AMERICANS.

Atlanta, March 22.-There was no kpractice yesterday morning and no
 game yesterday afternoon for the New York Americans, the first pause in the steady development of the team since
 their arrival here being due to rain.
 There was some practice yesterday af- Eternoon on a wet field, however, and Ethe pitchers had good opportunity to fcontfnue the work Of getting their Ewhips into condition for an arduous
 campaign. Griffith is keeping close eye on his pitchers progress. So far l he has reason for congratulation over 1 the outlook. The good form which the two new men, Hughes and Powell, are showing is especially gratifying. Both Isay they are feeling vigorous enough Ito dent holes in armor plate. Griffith expects to go in for while against
 Atlanta to-day. He will have Kleinow
 behind the bat. He is much impressed
 with Kleinow's work in practice. '4He is quick and wide awake and pays close attention to business" declares the manager of his new catcher. The team as whole is coming along nice Isy. and improved materially last week. More warm weather is the chief thing Ito be desired.

Racing at Oakland.

SAN FRANCISCO, sMarch 22.-Fa- vorites fared bardly at Oakland, Ga lanthus being the only one to land in front. A feature of the card was the seven furlongs' event for three-year- olds. They were sent away to a good start, and Celebrant went to the front Solanus passed Lord Wadsworth on the back stretch and in the last quar- ter assumed command. Celebrant hung on gamely, and Martin was forced to ride Solanus hard to beat Celebrant half length. .-t

holder of the title at the one shot style of play.e While Sutton was by no means top notcher when he left America for France less than three years ago. he had improved so much on the other side that Americans hoped to see him win at least one of the matches with Vignaux. Frenchmen have long ridiculed the idea that any other billiardist was the equal of Wig naux. Even the incomparable Ives, although he played for some time in Paris, never convinced the foreigners that he could equal. not to mention de feat, the French champion. Any dc. cisive settlement of the question by ac- tual play was prevented by the petty wrangles and differences that arose, as they adways are arising. among bill Hard players. Americans who know the history of billiards will always hold to the belief that Ives could beat any player in the world at the game of billiards during the brief period when he was at the zenith of his skill, yet this fact was never satisfactorily determined in tournament play, and the Napoleon of the worries went down to . consumptive's death with g repu- tation not as firmly established as his actual skill deserved. Vignaux is com, paratively an old man. and it would not be surprising if he should shortly retire from championship competition. It is doubtful, therefore if Schaefer, who is really the premier American player. gets the opportunity to wrest vignaux's laurels from him. Tho biz Frsnchman, with all his skill and his prestige at home. Is shrewd match. maker, and it may be set down as certainty that he will not arrange a meeting with Schaefer unless he be- lieves he has st least an even chance to win. Ives friends have always in. sisted that Vignaux~ avoided matches with Ives after the latter reached hia greatest skill.

SlluC OFCI lCO UE water with equal facility, and capable Of readily passing from the solid to the liquid, and vice versa It traverses field of broken ice with ease, mount ing the cakes or dropping into the intervals of water with scarcely a noticeable shock. The typical vessel is about fourteen feet long, four feet wide, and couple of feet deep. It has cockpit five and half feet long and two and quarter feet wide, in which the one or two men who navigate 1t. sit. It carries a mast nine feet high. and this supports two sails, the bow spirit extending about two feet beyond the hull. The runners, placed twenty inches apart. are ten feet long. one inch wide, and one and three-quarter inches high. and are sheathed with brass. There is no rudder, but the steering is deft1y done with the lib. or front sail. The scooter originated some three years ago. It was design ed primarily to enable rescuers to reach stranded vessels, through brok- en ice. Afterward 1t was found to be of great advantage to men fishing through the ice several miles from home. Formerly these men had to eat cold lunches at their distinguishes. Now they can "scoot" back to their dwellings in 8 few minutes and enjoy warm meals at midday. The scooter also, of course, makes travel to and fro in winter far easier for them than it was under the old method. Naturally the owners of these boats after while fell into the habit of speeding them, and so informal racing became quite a fad on the smooth ice of the big bay. But it was not until last month that a scooter race was formally arranged and sailed according to set rules. with judges, and for a prize. The race took place near Patch ogue, on the Great South Bay, off the Long Island coast. For the race re- ferred to there were nineteen entries. Most of the contestants were fisher men, but the others, including the pro prietor of the winning boat, were men engaged in other occupations. That the event is to become an annual one, with 8 great increase of interest in 1t, there can hardly be any doubt.

 Boston, March 22.-John l.. Sullivan Is seriously Ill at the home of his sis ter in Roxbury. The greatest of all prize fighters iB suffering from a vast ing disease which has gradually under mined his herculean frame and 1t is not believed that he can live long.
 The famous king of the ring is also suffering with his eyes, so that his sight has become impaired, and the in- dicattons are that before long he must go blind. The trouble with his eyes gives him great pain.
 In addition to his physical ills, Sulli- van is without money, dependent en- tirely upon his relatives for support. He has earned in his career upward of $1 ,b00. GOO, but all of this he has either given away in charity Or wasted in prodigal living. He has not a penny of it left.
 The news Of the "big feIlow's'' plight has just become known in sporting and theatrical circles, and his old-time friends are preparing to make good the declaration of long ago that he should never want. Arrangements are under way for a monster benefit performance at the Boston theater, Harry Farren heading the movement
 It has been contended that when Sul- Iivan met his Waterloo at the hands of Corbett at New Orleans in Eeptem- CT. 1892. his normal vfgor was even then so much impaired that Corbett's triumph was only a hollow one; that if the champion had been himself the leadevship o4 the ring would uat have passed, fl is certain fhat from the mo.

Two crews were sent out Both boats went short distances up and down the river, using slow stroke, and the men practiced getting into good form on the recovery. At the conclusion of the trial Head Coach F. D. Colson expressed himself as much pleased with the work the oars men had done. The river is entirely free from ice, and from now on prac- ttce will be held on the water daily.
