PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 25.-The
success of the intercollegiate swimming
championships, which were held here last
week under the auspices of the University
of Pennsylvania, have inspired the Qua
kers to go ahead with the wrestling tourna-
ment set for April I. Like the swimming
meet, this will be the first intercollegiate
wrestling tournament ever held in this
country. For several years plans have been
debated for holding a wrestling tourna-
ment and making this an intercollegiate
sport 1t has always met with serious OPP
position from the different faculties he
cause OF the low plane on which profess
slonals conducted the sport. But within
the last few years wrestling has become
one of the most popular indoor sports, and
now nearly every big university has its
wrestling instructor.
Fearing that wrestling would never be
established unless some one took the in
luauve, the University of Pennsylvania
Athletic Association sent invitations fo Har
ward, Princeton, Cornell. Columbia and
Yale TO attend the meeting here on April
a. The Quakers sent a delegate to all the
colleges invited, and in order to start
things, agreed 10 pay half the expense of
the visiting teams This served to bring
matters to head and all consented to
come, with the exception of Harvard and
cornell. wrestling has not been estab-
nshed so long a these two institutions
but there is still chance that they will
send one or two representatives.
After an exchange of opinions with the
other colleges 1t was agreed to have five
classes, as follows: Lightweight 49,
pounds and under; weller weight AS
pounds and under; middle weight. l5S
pounds and under; middle heavyweight. 10
pounds and under; heavyweight all over
40 pounds. PENIS wrestlers have been
working all winter under the instruction of
Or. j. X. Shell, the coach of the track
team, and formerly the amateur middle
weight champion of America. Gold and
silver medals will be awarded to the first
and second men in each class, and the team
championship will be computed unless 9th
erwlse agreed upon. While the men are
mere an association will be formed and
arrangements made for holding the meet
Ing annually.

BROOKLYN. March %, 1905.
John c. Chapman, veteran ball player and
manager, and now travelling man for a New
York house, returned the other day from
long trip through the New England states.
He spends very little of his time in Brook
yn nowadays, but insists upon making this
borough his home, on the ground that what
was good enough for him in bis palmy days
as a member of the old Atlantics and
through his long career in the professional
ranks is just as dear to him now that he is
in comfortable circumstances and does not
have to depend on the game for his liveli-
game, Jack Chapman is as great a base ball
fan now he ever was and he is sought
for wherever he goes for talks on the ma
tional sport, past, present and future. And
there isn't a man with greater fund of
"reminiscences of the game living today.
Il have read quite number of stories of
late reminiscent of old base ball days, and
especially about the Atlantics, but most of
them have been somewhat CARRIED, probably
through the wear and tear of time, he
said, in course of tanning bee the other
day. Many things have come under my

fortunate in esea ping accidents when travel
ing. While a few have been injured, there
have been some very narrow escapes from
loss of life and injury. In 1868 the first long
trip west of the Atlantic club of Brooklyn
was taken. They visited Louisville, KY,
and played what was then known as the
Eagle club of that city. The next day was
an open date and the Atlantics remained
over and visited the places of interest in
the Falls city. They had about decided to
go by boat to Cincinnati that night on the
large steamer Patrick Rogers. The man
ager and secretary were on their way to
the office of the steamboat company to pur-
chase their tickets, when a committee of
the leading business men of Louisville met
them and persuaded them to have the team
remain over, as they had arranged to ten
der them banquet and good time that
evening.

''Fhe Atlantic team was composed of local
players, all born in Brooklyn The Gin
cinnati team was picked one of players
from different parts of the country, and
really the first big paid professional team.
.s.fter the game the Atlantic players and
their frieros gathered at their headquarters
down town next to the corner of Boerum
place and Fulton street. where the Hall of
Records now stands. The mass of people
that filled the streets in the vicinity of
headquarters that evening was great. The
cars of the different lines running up Fulton
street were blocked until large number
of policemen were sent from the Washing
ton street station house to clear the tracks.
1T seemed more like political mass
meeting. Speeches were made from the
windows of the clubhouse by John J.
Jacobs, Thomas Faron, Judges Buckley,
Hornwell and Walsh, and other noted
headquarters and the city hall was ablaze
with all kinds of coored fire until very
late hour The papers announced the next
day that Brooklyn was Illuminated that
night and Cincinnati was in mourt1ing. The
following evening the Atlantics were enter
tanned at banquet by a number of their
friends and each player received a hand
some present of money in gold for his good
work.
I'm 1870 the Atlantics defeated the Gin
cinnatis two out of three games played, and
it proved the downfall of that great Red
Stocking team, which was organized and
managed by Harry Wright, one of the most
honorable gentlemen ever connected with
the game and who had much to do as
any one with building up professional base

Some of the players of the present day
will think it was much easier to play the
game in the early days If anything, it was
far more difficult. There was more hard

is true there is change in the pitching,
but it must be remembered that there Is a
big difference in the pitching distance. For
several years the distance was only forty
five feet, while at the present time it is
sixty feet six inches a difference of fifteen
feet six inches, which is more favorable to
the present batter, as it gives him a better
chance to time the ball pitched or thrown.
The ball played with in those days had
much life, it contained two and one-half
ounces of lively rubber while at present but

now they are well protected with lots of

The first big team of the Atlantic club of
Brooklyn prior to 1862 was composed of
Boerum, catcher; M. O'Bren, pitcher; Rice,
first base; John Oliver second base; Smith,
third base; Pearce, short stop; P. O'Brien,
left field; Hamilton, center field; Mcmahon
and Joe Oliver, right field. They played
many games in and around Brooklyn and
New York and were at the top of the list
