NEW MEN ARE FAST.

Montgomery. Ala, March 6.-No practice was had by the New York American players Saturday, but in lieu of that a long walk was taken m the morning and a tallyho ride in the afternoon. Manaper Griffith has every reason to be satisfied with the results obtained by last weeks work. Pitch CTS 1Holycross, Whitley and Hogc ind Catcher Duff look strone enough to be able to make good in fast company, and this is a very big percentage.
 Griffith thinks that Holycross would be valuable man to keep for his batting and fielding. even if he failed to come un to the mark as a pitcher. DuAf's hard. clean batting was q fea- ture of last weeks nl"v. This m""n- inc before practice Maraoer Griffith and his nlavarS were received bv Coy ernor Cunninpham of Alaba ma. at fhe canitol. Powell has wired that he will report next Saturday.

THE DIAMOND.
A BREAK IN
 CITY LEAGUE
St Joseph's Team May Drop
 Out-Plenty of Baseball
 Talk Around the Circuit

There may be a break ill the six teams that have represented the City Amateur league for the past few sea sons. Rumor has it that the St Joseph T. A. society will not be represented in the league. A few weeks ago every thing looked rosy for the St Joseph team and many players in other teams had agreed to wear St Joseph unl' form the coming season. It looked as though the St Josephs would have a team that would make all the others hustle from the first tap of the bell. The only reason advanced for the team dropping out, if it does drop out, is the peculiar fact that no member of the society wants to act as manager. 1t does seem strange that some one of the many members would not come forward and take hold of the team and march her on to victory. The St Joseph association will hold an impor- tant meeting tomorrow evening in the rooms at 7:3O and at that meeting 1t will be decided whether or not the so- ciety will be represented in the league. There will be many applications for admission to the league by other teams in the city if the St Joseph team drops out, but it is hoped by the other man. agers that the old reliable society will be represented again this season.

HOLY CROSS BEATEN.

Providence. R. l.. Mar 6--Brown de feated Holy Cross here Saturday night in fast and rough game. The Brown men took the lead at the start and kept it throNkh the game. The first half ended II to 6. In the second half Holy Cross roughened up things and made it lively till the whistle blew with Brown 20. Holy Cross 15.
 The work of both teams was speedy at times and the basket throwing. though brilliant on occasions. was far from accurate. The game was charac- terized by roughness. 11 fouls being called on Brown and 10 on Holy Cross.
 In the first half Pryor made two fine baskets by batting the ball in. Rackle threw one brilliant basket over his head in the second half and another from a catch on the dead run. The speedy little forward was everywhere and played a star game.
 Toward the last of the second half Dewolf of Brown and Reed of Holy Cross were taken out for alleged roughness. which did not seem to please the spectators. as Captain De- Wolf is an exceptionally clean player. Harding took his place. For Holy Cross. Spring. Reed and Stevens play cd a good game

SOME LITTLE
 FIGHT GOSSIP.
uughey kcCovern Could Not Land The knockout- Nelson and Britt Next Kid Mccoy Won.

Philadelphia, March 6.-Kid Stinger, a heretofore unknown fighter of this city, did himself proud by lasting six rounds with Hughey McGovern, broth CT of Terry McGovern, at the National A. c. Saturday night. Stinger has had not much experience, but he managed to evade all of McGovern's wicked blows, and was up and doing at the final bell. McGovern, however, had things his own ws~ from the -sttJt, but 1t was Singers wonderful strength and gameness that won admiration In most every round he received as hard a facing as any fighter would care to receive. McGovern directed most Of his punches to Singers body, while the Kid rammed away at his op- ponent's jaw. In the final round Sting CT made good spurt, but McGovern's advantage was too much to overcome. The New York man did not have a mark at the end, while Singer was bruised and badly damaged about the face.

RUSIE'S SAD DOWNFALL.

Amos Rusie. considered by some baseball sharps to he the best pitcher that ever stood before batsman. is working in an Indianapolis lumber yard. loading blanks on drays for S1-.D q day. Since his retirement from baseball several years ago. Rusie has earned living at digging ditches and drivino trucks. He has lost all of the magnificent physique that made hin: \ diamond hero years ago. and has giv- en up all hone of lettering himself. Amos got si.GO in 1894 fo- pitching loss than fifty games for the New York Nationals. Fa was in his prime then. and his friends advised him to save his money. But the big pitcher. fond of good fellowship. refused to listen to reason. and proceeded to blow his money in treating a horde of fiattererS apJ supposed friends.

M'GINNITY IS SORE.

s. M'Alester, I. T., March 6.-Judg- ing from statements credited to Joe McGinnity, the premier twirler of the New York Giants, it will not be at all surprising if M;Nager McGraw will have to do without the services of the "Irom Man" this season. The great pitcher is in South McAlester and evinces not the least anxiety to join his team.
 McGinnity has declared that unless the New York management accedes to his terms he will not report. He is managing his iron foundry and is pros porous and evidently this threat to quit the game is no bluff. McGinnity will pitch Sunday ball for South Me Alester.
 q have not been treated fairly by either Brush or Pulliam," says the star twirler. "They refused to allow me to go to the coast and play this win ter, while Chance and other National leaguers have been there for months and made good money. Tam not sat isfied with this treatment"

LATEST PITCHING WRINKLE.

The latest wrinkle in baseball is the "stOp" hall. which Leon Ames, the young twirler of the chamnifn Giants, is said to have perfected durine the nast winter at his home near Warren, o. It is said to he practically unhit- table. and much easier for the catcher to handle than the uncertain ''snit' ball. According to Information which has rnarhnd q mmlrar of Ames's team mates his "stop'' hall goes with terri hIe sneed part of the distance toward the hatsman and then suddenly slows up and crosses the plnte at about the same spapd as the slow hall now used Iy most twirlnrs. This discovery. it is said. was made last fall hv Ames whiIe he was nracti"ino at the Polo grounds.

,NELSON-BRITT BOUT NEXT.

siNelson has the call for the next meeting with Britt, as the dapper Call fornian has promised him a fight with in six weeks. The mill will probably be hurried as there is a bill now be- fore the California legislature to end boxing in Frisco. Nelson was SO con fident of defeating Corbett athati he some days ago posted $1,5OO with Harry Corbett to bind q match with Britt during this month, the money to go as forfeit if he failed to make the stipulated weight of 132 pounds. The men have agreed to split their 55 per cent of the gate on a a and 20 per cent basis. the referee to be agreed on five days before the battle. Britt wants Graney for the third man in the ring, but Nelson is anxious for any one else.
 Jos Cans, who was in COrbett's cor ner Tuesday night, had intended stay. ing on the coast to prepare Corbett to meet Britt in the event of victory, but Tuesday nights result means that Cans will return to Baltimore and fight Willie Lewis on March 20 If he dis poses of him he will try to get on a match with Jabez White of England.

The fact that the United States has acted solely on the urgent request of the Dominican gov ernment. thus affording no preceden. for the application of force to other countries. appeals strongly even to sem ators who would be reluctant to estab- fish a precedent for compelling Ameri- can nations to pay their foreign debtA

YALE TO LOSE COACHER.
Jim Hogan to Leave Yale for New
 York University.

York University.
 New Haven, Mar Cit was with a good deal of surprise that Yale men learned yesterday in a discussion of Captain Shevlin's football plans for the varsity squad this season that Jim Hogan. last years varsity captain. was not likely to be the field coach for the varsity the coming year. 1ale's custom for several seasons has been to have the retiring captain do the field coaching the following fall. It is understood that Hogan. who gradu- ates from the academic department in June. will enter New York law school probably Columbia. and there fore will not be available for coach.
 Captain Shevlin is formulating his plans for the spring practice of the football squad which will begin just before Easter and continue two or three weeks. and will consist principal lv of bunting and handling kicks. It is rather exDected that Ralph BIoOmer q football star of last year. will be the field coach if Hogan goes to New York.
