BASE BALL NOTES.

l There are no signs of weakening ir
 the Independent Tri-State league that
 harbOrs several players under contract
 to national agreement clubs. Each 1 club is to put up $2.5O0 forfeit to con | tinue next season.
 Brooklyn holds the record for field ing errors in games this season Against the Cardinals on August 10 the l Hanlonites made ten errors. and against the same team on July 24 they 1 made nine errors.
 George Mullin sticks to his state
 ment that he will not pitch for Detroit next season under any circumstances. So far Frank Farrell is the highest bidder for the great pitchers release. He has offered S1.200.
 Now that the parents of Sammy Strang" have withdrawn their objec. tions to his playing professional ball. sammy will probably go before the public soon under his sull name of Samuel Strang Nickiin.
 Brouthers. the third baseman of the Montgomery club. whom the Philadel- phla Americans have landed for next season, is big. fast young fellow who resembles Harry Wolverton very much in his bearing on the field He can sting the pellet.
 The Windjammer base ball team has gone through the season without de- feat. It has won ten straight victories and is now anxious~to play the Wash ington Hill Juniors for S25 q side. A fl. ,N... Captain Conway of Brooklyn.
 Rube Waddell. the great pitcher of the Philadelphia Athletics. delayed a game at NorTistown. Pa. Saturday. by hunting for man whom he heard of fering 10 bet on play.

 When the spit hall is to he thrown either the first two fingers of the pitch ing hand are moistened or that part of the ball where the fingers come in contact with it are moistened. This causes the fingers to rest loosely on the ball. so that the hall slips of the in- gers first and of the thumb last. The thumb imparrs to the ball a peculiar twist that makes the ball take . sharp CT and faster drop at the plate than the ordinary pitched' ball takes. The loose grip on the hall due to nIoisten- ing calls for more muscle behind it in order to get the speed on it- This is the explanation given by one of the spit ball experts

ANOTHER OCEAN RACE
Eastern Yateh Clab May Arranfe One
 From harbleAead ts Lizard.

Boston, Aug. 17.-A transatlantic yacht race may be held next season by the Eastern Yacht club. If an ocean race is arranged it will he from Marblehead to the Lizard. a somewhat shorter course than sailed by the yachts competing in the recent race from Sandy Hook. It is said that the Eastern Yacht club people have been sounding yachtsmen on this side of the water to see if they will compete. Henry H. Howard of the club com mittee is now in England and is look ing after that end of the race. If it is arranged. 1t probably will he for a cup offered by Sir Thomas Lipton.
 It will be remembered that 1t was the Irish yachting enthusiast and Americas Cup challenger who first offered trophy for the recent ocean race. Then the German Emperor de cided that he would like to offer a cup. and Sir Thomas withdrew his offer.

CHAMPION JUMPER AT 1T.

Charming Hall of the Olympic A. c. who won the national championship in the running broad jump and was second in the running high jump in the games at Portland, is only I7 years old. Hall comes from Oakland, Cal. and attends the high school there. Only little while before the Portland meet he cleared 6 feet ? 34- 100 inches in an interscholastic meet, which is just 16,100 of an inch below the worlds interscholastic record held by Johnny Spraker formerly of Berke- ley school in this city.
 Hall took up jumping four years ago. and though he showed no par ticular promise at first. improved steadily. Last year he jumped six feet and was chosen to represent Cal ifornia at the games at St Louis. He won the American junior champion ship in easy style. At Portland he leaped % feet A015 inches in the long jump. cleared G feet in the high jump being second to H. W. Kerrigan. who did an inch better. and was second in the high hurdles.

THE PUGILISTS.
HOW MATCH
 WAS MADE
Manager Billy Nolan Really Forced Britt Into a Hatch With Offer of Money White Coming Back.

The real news of how Britt Wal finally dragged into fight with Bat ting Nelson has reached Broadway When Nelson was in New York few weeks ago his manager, Billy Nolan said he would make Britt fight If Nel son had to put up the money for Dig purse. Here is what really took place at the meeting which ended in the signing of articles:
 Coffroth started the ball rolling.
 .Some little time ago. said he. T made an offer for fight between Nel son and Britt. Nolan promptly accept el for Nelson. and I learned to-1a ' that Britt has also accepted. l think we ought to get to work and draw out the articles of agreement
 Nolan then had his say.
 .I heard that Britt had accepted and I can only say that the conditions ne imposes suit Nelson to T. l stlll think. however, that the Britts are not on the level with their offer. and I'll bet $500 right now that they won't go through with this match. I'm ready right now to put up the $oOO and also 10 post forfeits for the match and side bet"
 Said Willie Britt: "I don't recognize anyone but the Colma club in this matter. I. had dealings with the man who represents Nelson before. and he made false statements. l stand right ready to sign the clubs articles now. As for the side bet of $500. that we will not sign. Nelson can give that to some charity"
 There was considerable airy persi- flage between Nolan and Willie Britt. and on one occasion when Britt found himself being drawn into the discus sion with Nolan. he suddenly yelled. Please address yourself to the club. On the whole. however. the men by talking at each other and looking at Coffroth got along very well.
 When they finally got down to busi- ness. it developed that Britt wanted terms which were an improvement upon those offered by the Colma club. The organizations bid was purse of S.0.OO0 or percentage of 65 per cent of the gate receipts. Britt wanted eo per cent and guarantee of Sa0.U0. and this Coffroth at first refused to agree to.
 There was quite an argument. No- Ian insisted that the clubs offer was liberal and sportsmanlike. At length Nolan said that if the club would guar nntee Britt S20.OO0. he would shoulder one-half of the guarantee. that is. Tn the event of Britt winning. and his share of the receipts amounting to but sIO.Oep. Nolan would, out of his own pocket and Nelson's. make up the diff ference between that amount and S20.- cU0. With this understanding the ar ticIes of agreement were drawn out and duly signed and witnessed.
 The contract, which was published yesterday. explains itself. In it no mention is made of the side bet of S1a.Ov0 This will be embodied in a private agreement. and the stake money to the amount of SaDO0 will be held by Harry Corbett-

ONE GAME
 YESTERDAY
Springfield Beaten in a Farcical Game by New London-Cy Miller Re. moved From Game and Fined.

New London, Aug. 17.-New Lon don defeated Springfield to 5 in a farcial game of baseball yesterday afternoon. The feature of the game was the batting of Mclaughlin, who with two two-baggers drove in five of the Whalers' runs. Both teams played a poor game, New London's fielding being slovenly in the first few innings. New London batted Bowler hard and he was taken out after four hits and three runs had been made off him in the fifth. Miller succeeded him. Miller in the last of the eighth was given a wet ball which he re- fused to pitch and threw over the grandstand. He was benched by Um- pire Kennedy and fined $50 by Mana ger O'Neill of Springfield. Miller w4ls succeeded by Altizer, who finished the game. Kennedy's work AS umpire was criticised. The score:
