WHY DELEHANTY WAS
TRADED FOR BRIDWELL

One of the Boston representatives at the
recent meeting In New York of the two
leagues told why Jim Deleianty. now 4
RedIeg. was shifted to the outer works on
the Boston team last year. Del went to
Boston two years ago as third baseman.
and he played that position throughout the
season of 1904, when Al Buckenberger was
manager OF the Beaneaters. Tall Jim early
conceived an intense dislike for Fred Ten
ney. "Delehanty has a powerful whip,
said the Boston man. He throws from
any position and shoots the ball across with
a snappy wrist motion. He is a fairly ac-
curate thrower,7 but the ball Is dead and
heavy and hard to handle at the other end
of the line. Now TeImey Is great first
baseman. out he dislikes more than any
thing else to handle hard throws to his left
Delehanty soon found this out, and he had
Fred on the jump all the time He woulI
put all the speed he could on the ball ana
always kept 1t over toward Tenney's bare
left wing II he could.
Lots of them used to get away from
Fred. Delehanty got all the errors. for.
when Tenney misses throw in Boston, 1t
Is always the fault of the thrower. But
Jim didn't care He thoroughly enjoyed his
little game. and kept it up. 1t is not sur
prisng that as soon as Tenney was made
manager last spring he discovered that he
needed an outfelder. Two weeks after the
season opened Del was shifted from third
to left"
Everybody at the meeting congratulated
Ned Hanlon on his trads of Bridw ell for
Delehanty. Foxy Ned smiled and said: "I
rather like that Jim boy. He Is a man
whom 1 can set down anywhere on the field
and be sure that he will play good ball. He
hits the ball very hard, and I expect him
to be valuable man for US.

ENTIRE TEAM FOR
ONE GOOD PITCHER

NEW YORK, February 20.-For exchange:
One complete base ball nine, every position
represented by experienced player, will
be exchanged for a first-class pitcher. The
latter must be sound and kind, and in
class with Christy Mathewson, Joe Nc
Ginnity, Jack Chesbro and other stars. An
extra battery or s2,O00 In cash will be given
for the right party. Call address for
the next month, C. H. Ebbets, Brooklyn
Base Ball Club.
All that is desired In return Is a pitcher.
The only condition Is that .-.e pitcher must
be an artist The market is overstocked
with box men nowadays. so Ebbets will
doubtlessly be overpowered will a deluge
of offers of pitching stars within the next
few days. In other words, the opportunity
to hand over twlrler of the Mathewson
type is within the power of every club in
all the big leagues, while there Is none that
can get full team outright. Hence, Eb
bets munficent offer.
The addition of battery or $2,vvv in cash
is merely in the nature of chrome to
catch the manager who might want to hold
out for extra Inducements. The offer Is
bona fide one, and Ebbets stands ready to
turn over a complete ball team, with an
extra battery or 5000 to boot, for the
right man. He has thirty-eight players on
the Brooklyn club reserve list and there
are duplicates for every position on the
team He is willing to part with the dupll-
Gates in order to secure star pitcher.

CONDITIONS ANNOUNCED
OF ROOSEVELT CUP RACE

NEW YORK. February 2O.-Announce-
ment is made by the Eastern Yacht Club
of the conditions to govern the races for
the Roosevelt cup. the trophy offered for
the German-American international small
boat races to be held OF Marblehead In Sep
TENDER. The rule is that used by German
yachts in their Sondet Klass and IS differ
ent both from the German rule obtaining
In OTHER classes and the European rule re-
Gently adopted by Germany In common
with other countries participating in the
International Congress held In London last
month.
The formula to obtain is waterline length,
plus extreme beam, plus extreme draught.
not to exceed thfrty-two feet. Any length
OF wateriine may be used, provided the
other factors do not bring the total beyond
the prescribed limits. The total displace-
ment is fixed at 4.035 pounds, and restric-
tons laid down to scantAng. Plankfng
must be of cedar or heavier wood at lea ST
hve-eighths OF an inch thick, and copper
riveted, but must not be laid diagonally.
There is no restriction as to the size OF
frame, but the deck must be the same
thickness as the planking. Cabin trunks
are not required. but the cockpit must lie
at least eight feet long.
The sail area permitted is $50 square feet
under German measurement. This means
that the entire fore triangle shall be meas
ured and no allowance made. as under the
the full triangle cannot be filled. This re-
duces the actual sail allowance under Amer
lean standards to about 500 square feet.
The ballast to be carried will approximate
2,100 pounds.
These general dimensions will admit a
boat of about the caliber of new Glass Q
boats in New York waters. the thirty-two-
footers- These might exceed the limits
slightly, but that general style of boat of
slightly smaller dimensions is the one which
1t is thought will be developed. There will
be variety of talent set to work to pro-
duce racers to compete In the trial races in
August. These are open to any recognized
yacht club, whether the club be located on
the Atlantic or Pacific coast or on the great
lakes. Tho Idea simply Is to get the best
three boats 1t is possible to secure to up
hold American honor in the International
series. These may be sailed by their own
ers or any one they denominate in the final
races.
George Francis Adams, second. is the first
yachtsman to announce that he will place
an order for boat. Herreshoff Is to be
commissioned to build defender for him.
F. @. Macomber, Commodore Benjamin P.
Cheney, Robert w. Emmons, second, owner
OF the Humma, and D. c. Percival are also
said to contemplate building DR.. John L.
Bremen and Reginald Boardman, both of
whom were identified with the Manchester
which won the Seawanhaka international
cup last year, are also said to be intending
to build, and two New York racing men
are Observation-Disclosures Trenor l.. Park
and Addison G.. Hanan. Fully score of
yachts are expected to compete in the Au-
gust trials.

ANNAPOLIS NOTES.


ANNAPOLIS. February 10, 1906
A very interesting apparatus has been in
stalled in the armory at the Naval Acad-
envy for the purpose of being used for the
instruction of the midshipmen in small
arm practice. a branch which is under the
department of ordnance and gunnery. and
in which Lieut.. Harris Laning is instructor
The apparatus consists OF a stand contain
ing arms which are balanced when a rife
of the ordinary type is placed in position
suspended from one of them. The rifle is
so placed that it can be aimed at small
targets reduced so as 10 present the same
appearance as a regulation target at he
different ranges. The pulling of the trigger
closes an electric circuit and puts in opera
ton machinery by which small card, cen
tanning the representa- ton of a target. is
indented in just the PLACE at which the rife
is aiming at the target The card can then
be withdrawn and shows exactly where the
bullet would have hit the target.

BIC DAMAGE SUIT
AGAINST THE
|. &. n.
0. H. Smith & Co. Claim Business
Has Been Ruined by Railroad
and Ask $50, 900.

Suit was filed yesterday in the office
OF the circuit court by Maxwell &
Reeves, attorneys for o. H. Smith &
Co., asking damages in the sum OF
$4,000 for injury to the business OF
plaintiff by reason of the L. & N. R. R,
Co. refusing to accept consignments of
lumber of the said firm.
Mr.. Smith has been engaged in the
business of timber broker, selling tim.
her on commission, having it con-
signed to him from various points
along the line of the L. & N. R. R. 1t
is alleged that the railroad company
instructed its agents all along the line
not to load any more cars consigned
to Mr.. Smith, and it is said that ship
pers have been writing to him W. tn
reference to the matter and inquiring
as to why the l. & N. refused to han
die business consigned to him. Not
being able to ship their timber to Mr.
Smith the shippers were obliged to
send it to other parties and for this
reason it is alleged that the business
of Mr. Smith has been practically de-
stroyed.
