Base Ball Notes.

Tom Daly wants $3,OOO for manag- ing the Providence team if that city is represented in the Eastern league next seasona A pretty tidy sum for the vet eran to draw.
 Wild BilP' Donovan, Detroit's star pitcher, has made a record on Phila- |delphia bowling alleys this winter and may be member of one of the Quaker city teams at the Cleveland tourney.
 By order of the board of directors of the Pacific Coast league the Los Angeles club was fined $500 for taking the players off the field during game at Seattle. Oakland and Seattle were each fined $500 because their captains refused to leave the ball grounds when ordered to do so by the umpire. San Francisco was fined $500 for taking an incomplete team to the Oakland grounds. All the fines were paid.
 Willie Keeler is 31 years old and has been playing professional base ball for twelve years. His answer to the question how long he expected to con tinue playing was: "As many years more" He says the player who takes care of himself ought to play as we'll at 35 as at 9. Base ball is not vio-

Girls Admire Jeffries.

~ ."Ain't he grand?" said half dozen Harlem, bellies, who saw James Jeffries in a restaurant on 125th street yester- day morning. The young women were returning home from ball, and had entered the cafe with their beaux for supper.
 Jeff. tired of the attention paid to him in the Broadway restaurants, had gone into Harlem that he might eat In peace and seclusion. He was recog- nized, however. and the~girls simply had to be introduced. The champion pugilist allowed the fair creatures to feel of his muscles and admire his big frame.
 Ut must be fine to be a champion. y said one young woman.
 "Oh. it means work and worry,' said Jeffries "Some fellow will come along after a while and put me out. Then you will hear no more of Jef' fries"

4 FILIPINO SENTINEL
Joke Played on the Crew of an
 American Warship. .
They Greatly Admired the Courage Displayed by . Man of Straw-An Amusing Incident of the
 Philippine War.

Soon after Aguinaldo had established his government at Mololos, and had gathered the main portion of the Fili- pino army about him at that place, his busy spies brought him information that the American forces were preparing to advance from Manila upon his new cap- ital. Hastily dispatching a considerable force from his army, he sent 1t to resist the advance of the Americans, and set the remainder at work to erect fortifi- cations about Mololos. -.z
 The forces dispatched to resist the ad- vance of the Americans, displayed great activity, and employed every possible means at their command to delay the advance of the enemy. They destroyed roads, burned bridges, and laid an ann bush in every tongue of timber that reached the highway, and in every tan gle of bushes and vines that offered con- cealment for a line of troops.
 A favorite method employed by the Ffiipinos called for the display of high order of courage. Selected marksmen were sent into the tops of tall cocoanut and palm trees, from which concealment they were directed to fire upon the ad- yancing Americans. Owing to the dense foliage of intervening, trees these men were seldom able to use aimed fire un- til the enemy was almost upon them. Many, in consequence, remained in the trees to obtain this advantage. and but few who did so ever escaped capture or death at the hands of the Americans.
 Sometimes. however. the sharp shooter remained for some time undis- covered in his perch among the leaves In the bivouac of one of the regular reg iments. made in grove of palm trees, not far from Mololos, the occasional crack of Mauser rife, seemingly over head, caused careful examination of

THE PUGILISTS.
SULLIVAN'S
 LAST BATTLE.
Story of His Defeat in That Final Round With Cor bett-Some More Fight ing News.

The last round of John l.. Sulli- vans battle with Jim Corbett is de- scI1bed as follows by a ringsider: To those at the ringside there was noth ing to indicate. in the beginning of the twenty-6rst round, that the fight was near an end. Sullivan came from his corner with the same scowl that he had worn during the other rounds
 He rushed as usual but the nimble Corbett was away and out of range. Before Sullivan could set again, Cor bett came inside his guard and landed straight jab on Johns nose. The stab seemed to daze the big fellow. Jim came in again and whipped the right to the sore spot. There was blood on his glove when he stepped back. Sullivan looked helpless. Cor bett was watching him. He feinted low with the left and then swung his right to Johns head, catching him on the jaw with stinging force that made the champion shut his eyes. Corbett rushed and was all over his man, dig ging left into the stomach and hooking a right to the sore nose.
 s. John swayed. He was beaten man. Corbett saw 1t quicker than any Of us and came in with a rush, swing ing left to the ear and right to the jaw as he sped. These were the finishing strokes. They did not knock Sullivan down. But his legs refused longer to hold him up. He sank to his knees and rolled over in a heap.
 He was too exhausted to rise, and his seconds carried him to his corner. It was several minutes before he opened his eyes.
 Staggering to the ropes after recov-' ering consciousness and raising his great hands in the air with a gesture more dramatic than any he could portray on the stage. full of the re- aIization that his time had come, John l.. Sullivan, the fallen idol of pugilism, exclaimed in a loud, but choking voice:
 "Gentlemen. I have only one thing to say, once and for all. This was 10 be and is my last battle I have lost. have stayed once too often with a' young, man, and to James J. Corbetr passes the championship" .~.1.. Here Sullivan broke down. He mumbled something about being glad an American had beaten him He reeIed through the sand, still knowing what he was about, but weak rom his adversary's blows.
 His nose was split. his mouth pun ed from blood vessels severed inside, his ponderous breast bloody and heav- ing ana his lips set with determlna- lion that proved he realized the serl- ous position in which his last effort placed him.

Base Ball History.

It makes one wonder from what part of the world come your cores pondents who profess to know base ball, when they omit from their list Of ball players the Chevalier Bayard of the game-the one man who did more to elevate professional ball play ing than all the others put together. It seems to betray the usual narrow New York spirit of a total ignorance of the history of the game.
 John Morrill,, to my notion, was the greatest figure in professional base ball--the best all around player who ever lived. the squarest sportsman, the perfect gentleman. After long and spotless career on the diamond he re- tired with the esteem of thousands in every city of the league.
 As to individual players, what catcher ever equalled Charlie Snyder in his prime, or what pitcher had such knowledge of opposing bats men or could display such strategic tactics as Tommy Bond? And what pitcher in addition could compare with the lamented Ferguson (of Philadel- phia) or pr Richmond? Club Sul- Hyan as q first baseman never had a peer, although it may be argued against him that he was a "record player'' pure and simple. But when we come to second basemen. what shall be said of the list already men, toned? The giant of them all is not even mentioned--Ross Barnes. What of Braddock or the veteran Biddy McPhee? As for shortstops, the greatest veteran that ever lived, be- yond all question, was George Wright, with Andy Leonard a good second. Among outfielders the names of Ham, ilton and Joe Hornung should surely have place.

Che surrounding tree tops by the troops in an effort to discover if possible the place from which the sound came. The firer was discovered at length, clothed in the green leaves of the palm, lying stretched out at full length on branch of the tree.
 While the land forces were moving forward on the highway not far from the sea. the United States monitor Monad- nook followed up the movement abreast of the troops. Occasionally, as she pro- ceeded, she cast a shell into the Fili- pino entrenchments that lay within view of her decks. Once, just before dark, as the ship neared Mololos, an extensive line Of works was discovered, in front of which white-shfrted Filipino sen- tinel was leisurely pacing back and forth. A shell was quickly discharged at the works, but the missile falling little short struck the ground near the sentinel. Other shells followed in rapid succession before the darkness put an end to the firing, 8 number falling so near to the man that they covered him with dust when they struck the earth L1C ICmaiuCu, u6fCISuGISSS, Ou HIS post until an officer appeared and took him away. A new sentinel almost immedi- ateIy took his place, and standing rigid ly erect in front of the works gave no evidence of fear, although a number of shells struck almost within reach of his hand.
 On the following morning the .senti- hel was observed still on his post in front of the works, apparently as de- liant and fearless as ever A number of shots were then rapidly fired at him, and more would have followed had not the captain discovered that the gunners were firing at the sentinel instead of at the works, and caused the firing to cease.
 After tho fall of Mololos, and the re- tirement of the Filipino forces, the great ship fell back to the place where she had bombarded the sentine1s. To the surprise of all on board the sentinel was still at his post, as rigidly erect and im- movable as Nhen shot and shell were

DOG SHOW.
A Wonderful Irish Setter Which Took
 Three Prizes.

Most notable of all the winners of yesterday at the dog show in New York, was a wise little brown-eyed four-legged gentleman named Cham piOn Celtic Badger, an Irish terrier, who belongs to the Rev Father J. D. German, rector of the parish of Gan anoque, OntarO. Canada. Badger is a clear-limbed, handsome fellow. A blind man would love him for his wisdom and sweet temper. .s.....
 Badger trotted into the ring with bis long head and stub tail held high. He knew full we'll his work. With very little delay the judge. O. w. Donner Of Rye, N.

And little Badger, thus triply certified as the finest specimen of his race in America. if not in the world, quietly trotted back to his bench and took a nap. And the good father who owns him, whose only vocation in the long year is the brief time he gives to showing this wiry-haired wonder, brought up friend after friend to be introduced and to admire the little broWn-eyed' four-legged gentleman. Badger grinned thankfully at their compliments and wagged his snipped-off tail.
 Incidentally J. Pierpont Morgan dropped in at the show in the morn ing and saw three more of his collies win prizes. Also he bought Little Star. a toy Boston terrier of tender years. The price he paid was rumored io be S1.OOO. but wise men who heard the figures looked skepticai
