BASE BALL NOTES.

The Pirates have not as yet stopped rejoicing over the fact that they man aged to win game with "Matty'' in the Giants box.
 After five straight setbacks, Holyoke needs some energy to win games and get some of the displeased followers of the team back to happiness. q George Henry isn't hitting with much success at Hartford. George needs more inspiration than he can get from looking at his fellow players.
 Just as soon as Manager Hanlon changed his batting order the Superbas lost four straight to Chicago. Ned will probably change it back again.
 One fan says he loves to see ''Dum- my Taylor on the coaching line be- cause he uses both arms and both legs and gives q good lesson i'll calisthen- ics.
 Beaumont has caught every game for Bridgeport this season and Schin- eel has done the same thing for Hol- yoke. Jope of New Haven is another everyday performer.
 Joe Harrington would have been something of help to Holyoke, at least until somebody awfully good came under observation. The veteran has done well for Meriden.
 Jimmy Collins, the star third base man of the Boston Americans, is charged with making three errors in one game. It is not often that this oc- CUTS, and it goes to prove that even the great have their off days.

WHY THEY BURN NEGROES
Kentucky Woman Tells obtrusive English Lady That Practice
 Is Not General.

was at dinner in London last spring, said a Chicago. lawyer re- gently to Washington Post reporter, and almost directly opposite me sat 3 country woman of mine from Ken lucky. One stout. red-faced English woman in the party persisted in bait- ing the Kentuckian until I looked to see her lose her temper long before she did. The Englishwoman talked about America and the Americans as if the Kentucky woman had invented the country and was responsible for every thing from Tammany to Pullman cars. Nothing American escaped her censure, and at length she began cn the race question in way that isn't heard at American dinner parties. She went on and on and the Kentuckian began to look dangerous At last the English woman said:
 But you can't deny that you actu- ally burn niggers in, the States
 "The Kentuckian smiled deliberate ly.
 :" Oh, the reports of that are greatly exaggerated she said The practice isn't general. We only do~it in parts of the country where coal Is too expen- sive to use.
 'sAnd the Englishwoman didn't speak another word for nearly i've minutes"

BICYCLING.
WALTHOUR ARRIVES
 FLUSHED WITH VICTORIES

Bobby Walthour, after an unusually successful season abroad, during which he met and defeated all the best riders of Europe, returned yesterday from Europe on the Kronprinz Wilhelm.
 The southern rider rode in ten races, and only suffered defeat once, due to trouble with his motors when he was leading by about two miles in 100- kilometre race.
 Robl, Contenet, and in fact all the noted riders in Europe fell before the whirlwind speed supplied by Walthour. All the French sporting papers speak of him as not alone the best American rider that ever came across the water, but the best rider that ever competed in Europe.
 Every inducement was offered nm to remain abroad, but Walthour pre- ferred to come to America, and he will make his first appearance this year at Charles River Park track, Boston. on Decoration day.
 WaIthour holds the mile record of Tor. He is also the middle-distance paced champion and the six-day cham pion of the world.

DUFFEY MUST SPRINT.
Two Formidable Oppnents to Meet
 This Week.

A sprinting battle that is likely to make athletic, history will be seen at Philadelphia on Friday and Saturday of this week. Two men, Schick of Harvard, and Cartmell of Pennsylvan- ia, have loomed up as formidable com petitors for Arthur Duffey of George town, the worlds champion in the dash events. The Pennsy representative gave glimpse of his speed last week Ut the games with Cornell. Then he not only beat his team mate, Dear, in the fast time of 10 seconds in the 1O0- yard dash. but he won the 220-yard race in the wonderful time of 21 2-5 seconds.
 { Schick has warmed the hearts of the Crimson admirers by his fast work in practice, and many predict that Duffy will have to go in 94-5 seconds if he shows schick the way home in the shorter sprint.
 That these two flyers will have their work cut out for them is conced- ed by all athletic experts when it is known that the Georgetown man is in fine trim for the championships. He is having no trouble doing even time for the hundred right along and it will not surprise some of the Georgetown enthusiasts if lie repeats his phenom- enal performance of two years ago and goes the distance in 9 3-5 seconds.

OLD MUMMlEs IN UTAH
Five We'll Preserved Bodies of Ancient Cave Dwellers to Be Shown
 at Worlds Fair.

"If the plan turns out we'll" said a New York antiquarian, there will ba some unique displays in the Utah exhi- bition at the St. Louis exposition, in- cluding mummies recently found in the caves of the Blue mountains. They were first thought by scientists to be the bodies of cliff dwellers, but investi- gation proved that they were types of cave men existing before the time of the cliff people. They are said to show true evidences of pure Caucasian de- scent, and to have dead blaqI hair, in- stead of the auburn associated with cliff dwellers.
 Most of the bodies were buried in the sitting position of the Mongolians. The first covering evidently was pre- pared clay. Next was added layer of feathers. and thirdly one of woven straw with colored symbols House hold relics were found near the num- mics, and had been preserved in the same manner as the bodies. These in- cluded water pouches, kitchen utensils, drinking mugs, an onyx pipe, flint ar rowheads, bowls, and saucers, earthen and wooden vessels, and curious images of animals. The mummies are of two men. two women and boy"

WHO Is GAFFNEY?.

Many people from this city who at tended the Yale and Holy Cross game in New Haven last week are very anx- ious to find out who the Gaffney was who umpired the ball game. They claim that his decisions in the fifth inning, when Holy Cross completed a double play, but which was not al, lowed, was the real factor in the win, ming of the game for Yale. They also claim that many New Haveners who were present never saw Gaffney um- pire a game before, that his name Is not Gaffney and that he has been ems ployed in some capacity as cook or waiter down in that city. One Water bury man says that there was some thing peculiar about the umpire ill re- gard to the people 1Ae was ill conversa- tion with before the game. Uf course there may be Io reason for those I'll. mors, but still the Waterbury people are anxious to find out just who Gaff- ney is and where he ever un1pired a college game before.

CITY AMATEUR LEAGUE.
Schedule Arranged for Next Sunday
 and Other Business Transacted.

4 meeting of the managers of the City Amateur league was held last evening at the rooms of the St Joseph society and all> the teams were repre- sented with the exception of the Washington Hills The following schedule was arranged for next Sum- day: On the regular diamond at 7 o'clock the St Josephs aud the Merri- macs will contest for supremacy. The Merrimacs are making a bid for the championship this season and will make strong effort to get away with the game.
 On the same diamond at 4 o'clock the Brooklyns, the champions of last season, will face the Washington Hills. The Brooklyns would like to win that pennant for the third success sive season and the Hills, always strong rivals of the Brooklyn chaps, will try to put a damper on their ar dor.
 On the upper diamond at 3 o'clock the North Ends and the PastimeS This will be a great battle as the North Ends have the championship bee buzzing in their bonnets and they are confident the buzz means the pennant
 William T. Keavney will umpire the first two games on the regular diamond and the North Ends and Pastimes will decide on an umpire between them selves.
 One point that was brought up last night was the matter of rowdyism on the ball field. Any attempt to win games by any team or member of q team will result in the punishment of the guilty parties. Suspensions will follow any future work that is not characterized by gentlemanly tactics. This is the only warning that will be given to players who are prone to rowdyism, for all such will be dropped fromithe playing list and perhaps for the whole season.
 The league will schedule one or two games for Memorial day and as the Driving park will be occupied by horses racing the games will prob ably be played on the Riverside grounds, unless arrangements can be made with the racing association to play the games there in connection with the racing.

OLD TIMERS THE BEST.
Fans Compare the Boston Champions
 With the Old Stars.

With the Old Stars.
 At New York the other day the fans began to compare the Boston cham pions with the stars of years ago.
 Said Jake Morse. gThe general ay- craze of ball playing may have inn proved in the last fifteen years, but there are no individual players on the diamond now equal to those of the past. There is not at the present day and I don't believe there eyer will be again-a catcher who can hold can dle to dear old Buck Ewing. Ill gem eral all around playing consider Ew- ing the greatest player who ever wore a uniform.
 "The all-star hines of fifteen years ago would probably have been made up as follows Catcher, Ewing; pitch CT, Keefe; first base, Brouthers; second base, Dunlap; third base, Denny; short stop Ward; outfeld, Thompson, Kelley and Gore.
 ''Take the best three players in every position fifteen years ago and don't believe 1t would be possible to find their equals to-day. For instance, for the catchers we would have, Ewing, Bennett and Kelley: pitchers, Clark son, Keefe and Radbourne; first base, Brouthers, Connor and Anson; second base, Dunlaps Richardson and Pfeffer; third base, Denny, Buns and White; shortstop Ward, Glasscock and Will liamson; left field, Richardson (Hardiel, Herman and O'Rourke. (the latter used ta'play left field for the New. Yorks); center field, Gore, Hines and Sunday; right field, Thompson, Ryan and Van HaItren.''

 There is report current in base ball circles to the effect that Barney Drey- fuss, who is having difficult time in strengthening his pitching staff, is willing to pay Christy Mathewson, the Giants famous pitcher, $25,000 to sign a three years contract. Barney will also give reward of $1,O00 to anyone that can land the pitcher and $2,000 if two pitchers are secured. There will be nothing doing for MT Dreyfuss on the "Matty" deal,

HARVARD IS OUT.
Athletic Comrnittee DiscOuntenancss
 The St. Louis Games

Cambridge, Mass, May. 25.-It has just leaked out that the Harvard ath- Tetic committee has placed a ban on the St Louis games and will not all low any team to be sent there repre- senting Harvard. Any students who compete must do so individually, and at their own risk of the consequences, for the Harvard faculty as a body is strongly opposed to the games. 1t be- ieves that the amateur status of many of those who will participate is open to broad doubt. and does not want any taint of professionalism to rest upon the Crimson banners.
 "We cannot afford to send Harvard teams to compete with the hired men who will represent some of the west ern colleges" said one high official. sThe summer baseball nine is as noth- ing compared to what we hear about this St Louis affair. If a Harvard team went to St Louis there would be no reason to meet the Brown Univers- ity professionals. The faculty would prefer not to have even an individual Harvard man compete. The basket ball team also will give up its St Louis trip"
