OLD CHECK BOOK.
shows Difference Between Players
 Salaries.

The discovery of few stubs from the check book of Manager Jack Chap man of Detroit, 1884, make an inter- esting comparison with the salaries of baseball players of to-day who are being offered the salaries of bank pres idents, college professors and promin- lent divines.
 Players in the old days were signed for a season of seven months and paid fortnightly. When Detroit was ad- mitted to the National league in 1881, Pitcher Derby and Catcher Bennett were the only members who received $1,400 for the season, and Hanlon SLIGO was the only other member whose contract called for more than $1,000. Bennett, Hanlon and Pitchs CTS Getzein and Weidman were the only 1884 men who were members of the Big Four and Ten More" team that won the championship three years, and each was star of the first magnitude. The book shows that a check for $1S045 was drawn in favor of John M Ward, manager of the New Yorks, being the clubs percent age of the receipts from the last four games 1t played. Harry Wright, manager of the Philadelphias, received check for $1OO95 for three games, and borrowed $1OO to meet his ex- penses. The check book was recently found among the records of the County Treasurer in Detroit, Mich, stored in the attic of the City Hall,
 and is now in the treasurer's record
 room in the county building.

YALE GETS REVENGE.
Trimmed Pennsylvania fl to 1--Elis'
 Base Running Poor.

Yale Saturday got revenge for her defeat at the hands of Pennsylvania early in the season by easily trimming them Saturday by the score of 14 to 1 in a game so onesided that every one lost interest after the seventh inning.
 The Quaker city team was weak and outclassed in every department Of the game, and made headless plays that added to Yale's score.
 Yale batted well throughout and fielded in good form. The base running of the blue was so bad that against a good team such work is bound to bring defeat. Camp after his three bagger lost two chances to score and was finely forced at the plate.
 Gushing, a new man at first. showed up better than any one tried there SC far. Yales outfeld without Madden Is very weak and should certainly be changed before the important games Church, Madden and Lippitt, or 4 Church goes to third, Williams, Mad den and Lippitt would prove a much stronger combination than the one now used.
 The score by innings;
 Yale ................0 0 0 05,2 *-1t Pennsylvania ....... Q o 1019 Q OO O-.

ELI BASEBALL TEAM FAST BUT NOT HANDLED RIGHT Estimate of Yale Nine by a We'll Informed Yale
 Graduate.
JONES IS A WONDER
Meyer steadier Than Par sons in the Box-First
 Base and Outfield Weak.

A Yale graduate interested in the Yale baseball team and well informed concerning the ability of each man on the squad gives the following estimate of each player:
 Jones behind the bat Is the best catcher seen at Yale in years, if not the best the blue ever had. He is a good backstop, throws fast and accu- rately, and is the surest batter on the team. There are few men in the coun- try faster getting to first.
 The pitching will undoubtedly be looked after by Meyer and Parsons. The former, when right, is good, steady, hard worker, has fair speed and control and a good break ball. He does not get himself and the team in as many holes as Parsons. Parsons is apt to be careless with the first batter. and often let's him walk. Parsons has the goods" but seldom delivers them.
 At first base Howard Jones, Sweeney and Gushing have all been tried, and none is first-class, although the last tried seems to have the most promise. If H. Jones' arm is right he is a good man in the box.
 At second base Camp is playing his third year, and is no better than three years ago. He wears glasses, which flinders his sight and makes him slow at starting. He also seems to think slowly, and on the bases is weak.
 Kinney at short is out of place and should have stayed at third, where he is fine. At short he is only fair, and the team would be stronger with Church or Williams at short and Kin ney at third. Kinney is a fast ban player, works hard, hits well and uses his head, He is a valuable man to any team, at third base more than at short.
 1 At third, Church has had the call 1 nearly all season, but at present is un- der the weather and Williams is play- l ing the difficult corner Church is a good, steady player, and no more, in the field. At the bat he makes a pitcher work all the time, and is d good man to get to first. He should be on the team, but, particularly after his enforced lack of practice, he should SO into the outfield (right), and Williams to left or third. Williams is a very good fielder and can handle the bag 4 better than Church. At the bat he is \ apt to break up the game, although not a sure hitter. Williams at short and Kinney at third would be a better ar- engagement.
 { Madden in left field is the best out { fielder in college. He covers ground. uses his head and bats well.
 Clifford in center covers a fair amount of ground, but for an outhelder is weak at the bat.
 In right field Chapin, last years catcher, is of little or no use to the team. He covers almost no ground, and makes the easiest fly look hard. His throw-in is very weak, and at the bat any good pitcher has him at his mercy. He is the best base runner on the team. As remarked before, Church or Williams would be much better for this position, or Lippitt, who played in Madden's place in the Pennsylvania game.
 Yale has a good lot of ball players, l but they have not been handled right or placed to the best advantage this year.

RECORDS IN DANGER

The eyes of the amateur athletic world will on Friday and Saturday of the coming week be turned upon the stadium at Cambridge, Mass, where the thirty-second annual intercollegi- ate track and field games will take place. In these games the chosen ath- letes of all the big colleges will contest, and SO keen is the rivalry and so thor- oughly have the entrants been condi- toned that extraordinary interest att !aches to the meet.
 Fast performances by the collegians thus far this year seem to put in dan ger all records save, perhaps, the hun dred-yard dash, the hammer throw, the shot-put and the broad jump. Der nard Wefers' figures of 21 2-5 seconds for the 22O-yard dash appear to be slightly in danger. Shaw, of Dart mouth, who last week at Worcester made the flight over the 120-yard high hurdles in the worlds record time of 15 seconds flat, clipping one-fifth of a second off Kraenzleins record, puts him forward as perhaps the most like ly man to win this event. Hubbard, of Amherst, and Garrels, of Michigan, will be his most formidable contenders. Taylor, Pennsylvania negro 440-yard man, appears to hold this event secure. with Colohan, of Yale, the man prob- ably who will push him hard at the finish. Taylor also appears to have the best show to finish first in the half mile, against Heink, of Columbia; Van brunt, of Harvard, and Parsons, of Yale, each of whom has gone the route close to the two-minute mark. Has, kins, of Pennsylvania, has run the mile in 4:22 4-5 this year, No one else seems to be near this form. Coe, of Michigan, very likely will be the runner-up. Eisele, of Princeton; Magoffin, of Cor nell, and Coe doubtless will fight it out between them for the two-mile rus.. The Effect 1-5-inch pole vault of Dray, of Yale, seems to warrant the belief that Yale will capture this event. Tax en all in all, the games promise excep- tionally fine sport.
