hard hitting and position at the head of

of the ball for three successive games and
only one misnap in the last game has

especially praiseworthy work. as the in and

Cunning for Automobiles.

Farmers In the vicinity of Buffalo have
found new sport-that of cunning for
automobile enthusiasts. Radiating from
Buffalo in many directions are a number of
fine roads that have many natural attrac-
lions for those who own cars. Some scorch-
ing has taken place there, although there
have been no accidents.
Paul Geyer. a tester for a motor COM
pany, was returning to the city along a
macadam road near Williamsville a few
evenings ago when he heard q shot behind
him, and an instant later heard the thud of
a bullet against the frame of his car. A
second later another one whirred over his
head. Geyer, turning his car. sped back up
the road in search of the man who had
fred the shots NJ him, but the latter climbed
a fence and made a run for 1t across field
A reward is to be offered for the capture of
the man. and the matter may be taken up
through the Buffalo Automobile Company.

example, that any such thing as a curved
bali could be pitched. They said that the
curved ball was simply impossible. One of
the Englshmen who said this was the lead
ing criciucter of England-Dr. Grace, If /
remember his name correctly. This crick-
ster simply laughed in the faces of the
Spalding troupe when he was tcld about the
curved ball, and to show them that they
only imagined that there was such a thing
he offered to bat anything the Spalding
pitchers tossed at him right out of sight
with his cricket bat. They took him up
and one of the Spaldng pitchers BEGAN to
hoop en- over for the Englishman with his
barrel stave. The great cricketer hasn' t
come within a foot and a half of hitting one
of those curved balls Yet. Nevertheless and
notwithstanding. at the finish of that trial
the great cricketer, plainly chagrined, said
that he didn't believe his inability to hit
the ball had been due 10 any curves but
simply to some kind of trick the Yankee
pitchers had with theml
If the American game really should take
a clutch upon the English folks it is prob
able that a great many years would elapse
before the Britishers would attain anything
like the proficiency of the Americans at
base ball. Base ball is in the bone and
blood of American youth, and it comes nat
ural to the youngsters on this side to play
the game. Then, the indubitable fact has
been, established time and again that the
English are not as quick on their feet, not
so agile, not anything like such quick think
ers in any sporting game. as the Americans.
They would probably make slow, plodding
ball players, and in tight pinches, even
when they had attained mechanical pro-
ficiency, American clubs made up of quick
thinkers and rapid breakers would probably
have them tied in bow-knots. Take the
game of la crosse, as an example. La
crosse IS peculiarly a Canadian game. Some
years ago number of the swell Canadian
la crosse clubs invited the Americans to
learn the game, so we can come down
there and play rings around you" they
added. An athletic club in Brooklyn accept
ed the invitation to learn the game of la
crosse. Just one year after the Brooklyn
la crosse team had started at the game they
invited the SWEETEST la crosse team of Cam
ada to visit Brooklyn and play little game
with them, just to show them (the Brook
lyns) wherein they were deficient That
swell Canadian la crosse outfit visited
Brooklyn. and they got swept right off
Long Island and into the waters of the
sound, so to speak, with nary the sign
sembIance Of won game of la crosse to
take back with them over the Canadian
border.
But if the English take up base ball seri-
ously and the microbe spreads until, in
time sure-enough interoceanlc leagues are
formed, there are wise men who claim that
such a thing would do more for the peace
of the world than a dozen Hague confer
ences; that base ball would create a bond
between two of the most powerful nations
in the world that would make for big
mutual saving in the building of battleships.

when in training for big matches.
Therefore when the time cam for train
ing for the championship tournament which
was played off a couple of weeks ago.
Ferris met Schaefer at Chicago and the
two played IT, many exhibition matches IN
Chicago, Philadelphia New York and
Brooklyn, and Ferris attracted so much at
tention for his clever nursing and three
cushion shots, that it he became known as
one of the corners in the billiard world all
through the east
II think that Willie Hoppe is the best
player of the whole bunch" said Ferris.
His playing is wonderful and he is as cool
as any one could Sbe while playing in big
matches. He is as regular and steady
clock, and when in form there Is no one
that touch him. Many people have
talked about his having the big head but
this is not SO, for Hoppe is the most modest
one In the bunch. Another thing that is COM
mendabe about Hoppe is the fact that he
never drinks anything that would affect his
nerves, not even so much as cup of coffee.
He realizes the fact that of all the sports
men on earth. there is no one who must
have as steady nerves and clear mind as
the bllliardist.
Hoppe won the Chicago tournament with
ease, and the only reason why he did not
win in the New York tournament was that
he had been playing ISL billiards for over
year. and was all out of form for 1872
which was used in New York.
''Schaefer is the only man that could by
any means defeat Hoppe. Schaefer when
we left Chicago before going TO PhIladel-
phia was in wonderful form. That was
about three weeks before the tournament.
In these three weeks, however, he played
so many hard games and long ones too
that he was all played out BY the time the
tournament came around, and as he IS
neither a large nor strong man. he couldn't
stand the strain. What he should have
done was to play four or five games u
week and no more, and then he would not
have gone stale.
'Slosson, who won the tournament in New
York. was the luckiest man in playing. L
do not consider him the equal of either
Hoppe or Schaefer, he is neither regu-
lar nor wonderful in his playing. During
the New York tournament, however he had
wonderful luck and while playing the men
that were really better than he was he
struck them when they had a bad slump
and when he had exceptionally good for
tune.
"Slosson. though, is one of the best play
ers IN the world today and l do not think
that Schaefer at his best could beat him
by a large score.
sutton is the most irregular player IN
the bunch. and he is also a great worrier.
He will one day make q wonderful scora
and the next will fall down to the bottom
Of the list. This Is caused from the con-
dition of the nerves, which are on edge all
the time"

WHEN THE ENGLISH
PLAY BASE BALL
Some Of the Situations That
May Reasonably Be Expect
ed to Be Brought About.

Now, here is thing that ought to MAKE
a. direct appeal to any American magma
ton: The English are taking up the great
American game of base ball!
They played game over there on Sat
urday last. One Of the mines was COM
posed of American students at oxford uni-
versity, and the other one was made up
mostly of young Englishmen from Wool
witch, with a leavening of Americans TO
give this latter team confidence. The all
American team won 10 to I. Two thousand
British persons were present at the game,
and the cable advices inform US that they
liked the game soon as they were able
to see through its fine points. AMI base
ball is likely to become established ever
here
Well, well, well,-to quote from the ia
vorite explanatory phrase of the basSo
profundo boy at our own ball lots. After
all of these years!
Reflect for a moment upon the possbill-
ties of the thing IL base ball takes quick
mold upon the British public, now that 1t
has got a little toe-hold. How would 1t
be to pick up your paper and read the ac-
counts of the ball games as played by
teams belonging TO the Interoceanic or
Anglo-American League? Muggsy Nc
Graw's bunch of bad actors putting 'em
out of the lot over yonder on some ball
yard bordering the ancient Thames-how
would that go? Murphy's Spuds, as the

only to get hunk by cleaning up three
straight games in Manchester or Leeds
perhaps that wouldn't make interesting
reading matter for the fans! Think of

FANS AND THE
BALL PLAYERS
Effect of Cheers and Kisses
Upon Those Taking Part
in a Game.

How much influence the patrons of base
ball games have upon the result of games
on the home grounds is hard to conceive.
The psychological influence of applause or
Kisses upon players is great Championship
teams usually win over two-thirds of their
home games, while even the dubs of any
league expect as good as an even break at
home.
Confidence is nearly half the game. and
when the crowd is with the team. when 1t is
cheering a player, the team and the player
are much more likely to do something brill
liant than under normal conditions. Kisses
and jeers from crowd knock the fight and
spirit out of the men. When the home
crowd turns against the home team and
Kisses it the fans merely are making condi-
tons worse-and making defeat doubly sure.
The most partisan towns in base ball are
New York, Baltimore, Cincinnati and Pitts
burg, and of these New York Is far the
worst, especially since Baltimore dropped
out of the big circuits. In New York the
crowd always is for New York. in Pittsburg
it is faithful to death, while in Cincinnati
and Baltimore the teams must win or the
players roasted just as hard as they are
cheered when they win. They Will not
stand for losers.
Chicago VIGOROUSLY is the fairest town to
visiting clubs in the big circuits The
knocking propensities of the citizens show
thernSev YES there better than anywhere else,
and besides, the cosmopolitan population
makes narrowness and vicious craftsmanship
impossible. Washington. in the same way,
is remarkably fair. despite the fact that
southern cities are likely to be more parti-
san than the ones farther north.
Players who can stand almost anything
confess that they feel the influence of the
crowd more than anything else, and there
ale some who could not be hired to play in
certain cities because they were roasted
there.
