NUMBER OF BATS USED.

Napoleon Lajoie, the greatest bats man in America, began last season with thirty bats. After trying them all out he selected stick that was one of the longest and heaviest i'll use on any ball field. With this mighty weapon Larry was able to reach the wide out curves and also bang the straight fast ones to all quarters of the field. Lajoie did not put this bat in the bag with the other sticks of the Clevelands. He carried it in neat leather case, which he put under his pillow at night while on the road. La joie says it is the best bat he ever used and he would not part with it for $500 Lave Cross starts out the season with fifty bats and narrows them down to dozen. He is always willing to make a trade. Hickman of the Detroits can get along with twen- ty-five bats when the season begins. He gives away good many. When he gets a good ash he will not allow another player to take it in his hands for fear it might change his luck. Hans. Wagner says that all he wants is bat thirty-f1ve inches long and the right weight Willie Keeler is very particular about the kind of bat he uses. In the old days heavy hitters like Dan Brouthers, Roger Connor. Buck Ewing, Hardie Richardson and men of that stamp used long, heavy bats and they took good care of them. Mike Kelly was another stickler for a good bat.

ALL STAR TEAM.

Base ball fans over in Boston never cease talking of the national game, even with the snow several feet in depth. Lately the Hub enthusiasts have been picking an all star team ot players, drawn from the two big leagues. Keeler, Lajoie and Collins are almost the unanimous choices for right field, second and third bases, re- spectiYely. Some persons, however, insist that Bradley of Cleveland is the superior of Collins. Fred Parent and Hans Wagner are the leading candi- dates for shortstop. For left field Fred Clarke has the call, with Jones of Chi cago. Bay of Cleveland and Stahl of Boston about even up for center field. At first base Chance of Chicago is in the lead. Criger and Kling are tha star catchers. with Chesbro, NTcGfnni- ty, Mathewson, Dineen, Young, Wad, dell Plank and Tannehill the best pitchers.

SKATING.
SKATING CHALLENGE
 FOR OLIVER DORI ON

Oliver NJ. Dorlong the six-day cycle star, is working hard at bike exhibi- tions to get into prime condition for the skating races of the season. Yes terday party called at the Brooklyn rink and said: T want to skate a match or series of matches with Oil yer DorloH, and have beaten some of the best men on skates in the world I will race him pursuit style for any amount, q mile or more, any time he wants to go.'' t
 Dorlon was not on hand to bind the match. being on the vaudeville circuit in Jersey this week. He was tele. phoned, and said:
 sI If the party has any money to take 4dwfH skate him mile pursuit style for. any amount he wishes on the Cler- mont avenue ice rink's f1fteen-lap track in two days or two weeks, be- fore get too far from New York with my partner.

RACING. WINNERS ON
 OTHER SIDE.
Dick Croker Has Not Made Much Money in England Few American Horse Owners There.

Americas sole representative on the turf at present is Richard Croker, who still has a fortune invested in racing. During the last season the former Tammany chieftain spent $1O0,O0O for yaarlings at public auc- tion, in addition to making liberal pur
 chases at private sales. A year ago it was hoped that MT Croker's Irish bred Clonmell would win some of the turf classics, but this high priced son Of Florizel was complete failure, which turned out to be the case with nearly all the other Croker horses. Only one winner was sent out from the Croker barn, and he won about $2, ,0O0 in five races, which was but a drop in the bucket when the stable expenses were taken into consideration. MT Croker, however, did some heavy betting, it is said, in England and more than broke even on the season. Sir James Miller headed the list of winning owners on the British turf this year with $145,- GOO, nearly $5O.00O more than the amount won by Major Loder, who was second. Leopold de Rothschild was third with $95,0O0, St Amant winning the Derby in his colors.
 The Duke of Portland and the Earl of Cambridge follow in the list, with the Earl of Roseberry next, his win nings being chiefly due to the unbrok
 en string of victories hung Up by his two -year-old Cicero. August Belmont had two colts in the Rothschild string who won about $4,OOO while James R. Keene's Sweeper captured one race with about S3,5OO. Few American bred horses are racing in England nowadays, so that American gires stand low down in the list of win ners. Since the late W. O. Whitney and James R. Keene decided to with draw their expensive racing establish 1 ments from England there has been no attempt on the part of any other American turfman of pron1inencd to visit the other side in search of turf laurels Danny Maher, the jockey, is one of the few Americans who praise the English turf and wish to go back after a return to this country. Others who have raced there have taken pains to create the impression that Americans are not wanted in England and that for that reason it is better to remain at home Richard Croker has spent a great deal of money on the English turf and will probably never race one of his horses here in the fu- ture. But the performances of his big string of two-year- odds next season will be the source of much interest among American turfmen.

GET A AFFIRMATION.

Billy Delaney, the well known train CT of Champion Jeffries, says that Marvin Hart, the Louisville heavy weight, who wants to meet the big boiIermalzer is not an impossibility as far as match is concerned. But De- laney says that Hart must first '.get reputation" by beating the best big men in the country.
 The only man that Jeff has eyer turned down. says Delaney, ''is Jack Johnson, and I want to say that it is as much my fault as his. Of course, nobody believes for moment that Jeff fears this negro, but it is because of many reasons which we have talk ed oyer that we have decided that it is poor form for a white champion to meet a colored champion. By drawing the color line there can be no fric- tion.'

YOUNG "AEfERICUS"

"Americus,' Gustavus Schoenlein, who claims the heavyweight wrest- ling championship of the south, was 21 years old Sunday, having been born in Baltimore on Christmas day, 1883. "Americus'' has defeated such men as Harvey Parker, Frank Jordan, Bob Akers, Joe Goldstein. Charles Rein ecker, Max Wiley, Mike, Dwyer, Joe Smith, Eugene Tremblay and c. Leon hardt. The success of ''Americus" is credited largely to his temperate hab- it's.
