Baseball


President Walker, of the Factory
Baseball League. is in Brooklyn,
where he was called by the sudden
illness of his wife.
So Patsy st. Clair, the old time
ball player and famous pitcher. is to
do stunts at umpiring this season.
Well, this is good, as all of the fans
want to see Patsy stay in the game.
Reports from the south say that
Captain Bill" Hoffner is making
god. He is with the Tri-State
League of Virginia, as told in the
NEWS.
The Young Nationals will be out
for a practice game Sunday after
noon
Every fan in the city is glad to
hear that Pete Smith of the CHEESE
brough Vaseline Works nine is MAX
ing good this season. He is very
popular and everyone will yell for
him if he keeps his end up.
Judging from the frequency with
which eminent ball players are being
sent to the repair shops by umpires,
no treaty of peace has yet been sign
ed by the arbitrator and the dia-
mond heroes.
Johnson, who is to catch this sea-
son for the Emeralds, is in great form
and it is said that he will make
things sizzle when he gets down to
work in the game Saturday afternoon
against the American Smelling and
Refining Works team.
Al. DeLeon, of the American
Smelling and Refining Works team, is
by far the most popular team mana
ger in this city today, but he has a
great fear of the ladies, so look out,
Brother Al.
1t would be a good idea to change
the clause in the Factory League in
regard to the taking away of a play
er from m team by another, from
thirty days to ninety days, but while
at it, why not make it the whole sea-
son, and thus save all trouble.
1t will come as welcome news to
the fans that Colyer is to do the twirl-
ing for the C. Pardee Works boys
again this year. His work last sea-
son was right up TO the mark and he
is a general favorite.
Both the Fitzpatrick boys have
several offers to play ball, but IS yet
they are undecided. 1t is likely they
will be seen with home teams.
Well, it is nov up to the clerks in
the local office OF the Public Service
to accept that challenge issued
through the NEWS by the gas com
pany clerks, and then the fun will
start.

FIELD OF SPORTS ;
saeAeAs
OLIVER o GUILTY.

Vincent Treanor, acting sporting
editor of the New York Evening
World has the following to say in re-
gard to the recent fixed" glove ven
ture of Bull" Mccormick, of this
city:
A letter writer asks if it's true that
Johnny Oliver, manager of Tommy
Murphy, was connected with the
horseshoe in the glove incident at the
Metropolitan A. C.. bouts Saturday
night. In answer we say emphati-
cally NO. Oliver wouldn't stoop to
such tricks, and we have no idea OF
how the writer eve suspected so. The
fact that the horseshoe" fighter is,
or was, a member of the Polo A. A.
has nothing to do with Oliver. Any
number of Polo A. A. boys appear al
local stays, and Oliver would have his
hands full seeing that each one OF
them fought honestly.
Tommy Murphy is divers only
charge. If a horseshoe of the lead
en- pad variety should find its way in
to his glove, then we might hold Oil
yer responsible, but not in any other
case,

DID WE'LL.

Tommy Murphy showed too much
class for Howard Smith at the Metro
politan A. C. Saturday night, COM
polling the seconds of the latter to
toss the sponge before the end of the
third round. While Murphy had some
advantage in the matter of weight,
still it was his cleverness that won
the battle.
The Harlem feather proved that he
was again in tip top form, for he
fought with lightning rapidity, and
soon Smith was in doubt as to where
the jabs and the swings were coming
from. Smith showed much courage,
and was willing to fight as long as he
could keep on his feet, but toward the
close of the third round Murphy land
ed a series of staggering blows, and
Smith was rendered helpless and I'M
able to defend himself. Thereupon
the seconds of the beaten man tossed
the sponge into the ring. Both men
were heartily a%pplauded for the fine
work done.

OFFICIAL REPORT OF
 CRONSTADT AFFAIR
Fort Was Bombarded All Night By Loyal Troops and Surrender Came
 Early In the Morning.

St. Petersburg, August 2.-The govern ment this evening issued the following ac count of the Cronstadt affair
 yesterday evening disorders broke out at Cronstadt. Sailors of the Fourth equip age of the fleet left their barracks after Il o'clock and joined a crowd awaiting them on the street. They proceeded tV- ward the residence of the commandant of the port A detachment of infantry was immediately summoned and fired on and dispersed the crowd. Simultaneously the agitation displayed itself in other equip ages of the fleet. Sailors began to as- semble outside of their barracks, but were persuaded to return to their quar- ters. Meanwhile the members of the Four equippage and the police had reas- sembled and precipitated themselves to- wards the arsenal in an endeavor to force the gathering, but they were again dispersed by the infantry and quick-fire guns Evidently this was planned, as at the moment of the appearances of the rioters a red flag was hoisted on the

A dentist from a tooth, and the circus folks went into kinks while he tried his hand with his own little instruments The circus veterinarian then brought forth hugs pair of forceps, and two men laid hold of each handle. The tooth stuck fast. and the men were in despair. when an onlooking farmer remarked that he had a pair of 'hefty mules"
 Where are they?" asked the veter- marian, and thet farmer pointed to q team of promising long-eared bays in the road. Forthwith work be- gan for the great operation. Stakes were driven into the ground to brace the elephants head. A block and tackle were attached to the giant for ceps, and when the veterinarian shout ed "All readyi" the farmer said Get upi" There was a terrific straining for few minutes. then the mules stumbled forward as the tooth sud denly came forth. Brazil wore a sub dued but contented look after the op- eration, and went quietly back to her car.

god Indar in "1ndar Sabba." The scenery is not at all elaborate, and the feminine roles are taken by boys. There is in eX- istence a set of professionals called Bhands or Naggals, who obtained grants of land for their subsistence from the an- cient Indian dynasties. The writer from whom I have quoted gives us sketch of these interesting survivals:
 "When a rich man wants to celebrate a wedding, or a birthday, or the name day of child, or other suspicious event in his family he generally has one of these men, or a troupe of them. come to perform at night The spectators would be his guests. The hosts would pay for the entertainment about G1 to e10 for the whole roupe for the evening. It would not be the only entertainment
 "Other items on the programme would be dances performed by professional danc- ing girls. The Indians consider 1t beneath their dignity to dance themselves The performances of the professionals are often of a tedious character and generally go on all night The guests are not only those invited by special request, but any body who chooses to drop in The dancing girls also sing The songs are like music hall songs in character, and the dances are adjusted that they are appropriate to the songs. The motions are slow and dignifed. but dreamy and sensuous. The arms and fingers, the twisting of the WflStS and ankles the languofous nnanlp- ulation of the head and the supple turn ings of the waist and body all contribute to the general effect"
 Other amusements in Lucknow include wrestling. cock fighting, quail fighting, .l1ite flying and card playing. The cards differ from those in ordinary use in Eu- rope. The pack consists of ninety six cards of eight different colors or suits. Bridge Is not yet in vogue in India, sans les Anglais," as Pierre Lot has 1t. but chess is very popular Kite flying is a fine art in Lucknow. The strings are made as hard as steel wire by being COW cred with a composition containing ground mica, and the kite flyers object is to get his opponents strings so entangled in his own that with a saving motion of his hand he can sever the string. When the freed kite reaches the ground It is con sidered the fair booty of him who picks 1t
