GOSSIP.

John L. Sullivan several years ago
umpired ball game at Weehawken,
N. J., between the West New York
Field club and the old Ironsides, of
Newark, the oldest semi-professional
team in the country. Castro, then a
member of the Manhattan college
team, and Jack O'Neill, the well
known semi-pro. catcher, were the
Ironsides battery. Sullivan was UNI
piring behind the pitcher. During the
first inning when O'Neill received the
ball he would work the catcher's trick
of pulling a wide pitch toward the
plate and then hold up the ball, ask
ing for a strike. The scheme didn't
work with John L., and he passed a
couple of batters. After the inning
was over Sullivan said to Castro with
his full, deep voice: Say, pitcher,
you tell that young fellow to cut that
out or I'll cut him out of the game.
And that goes!" O'Neill took the hint
and pulled no more wide ones. Later
in the game Tom Brush, of the. West
New Yorks, took a desperate chance
and tried to steal home from third.
The catcher touched him fully a yard
from the rubber, but Sullivan called
Brush safe. Nobody disputed the ex.
champions decision, but after the
game he said: 81 knew that fellow
was out at the plate, but I wouldn't
call anybody out who had the nerve
to take a chance like that"

The records for throwing baseball
are all in doubt. None are reliable or
authentic. Ned Crane heads the list
and is given credit for throwing ball
1876 yards one foot and one-half inch,
which he is credited with doing at
Cincinnati on October IL, 1884. If
that throw was on the square it is
doubtful if it ever has been beaten.
It is alleged that Hans Wagner has
beaten it again. Wagner is said to
have thrown ball 1874 yards one foot
and eight inches in an official trial at
Louisville, October 16, 1898, and later
is said to have beaten this throw a
yard. But it is alleged that the wind
favored him on the latter occasion.
Pat Dougherty and Wagner are now
considered the greatest throwers in
the game and Hermann wants them
to get together and contest with all
the strorg throwers.

Some of the solutions received today

Although at least dozen errors made
by early contestants have been com

published in The Sunday Tines, solu-
lions this morning were marked in
correct because Of those same mis-
takes and others.
Contestants continue TO use bills in
their solution, when the problem states
that the man had only coin. The man
borrowed three silver coins but the
majority OF solutions this morning con-
tanned the information that he borrowed
niCkels or peGnies, neither of which IS
silver. One contestant had the man Dor

after the coins were borrowed the
change could not be made. Others
stated that the man got some of his

The must common error, however is
that Of listing coins that could be added

Warn People Against Fakirs.
I expect that we shall have to begin
a campaign OF publicity by ascertaining
the names, aliases, and photographs Of
these fakirs and a list OF the tricks they
practice. in order that we may warn
members OF our sect and the public
against them. You understand there Is
a genuine spiritualism and a spurious.
This is pointed out by Mr.. Darlington,
who has Just written one OF the most
profound books on the subject ever pub
lished. Darlington places the genuine
at 2 per cent and the fake at IS per cent
l, Of course, cannot agree with him on
the ratio. but he has handled the mat
ter in the main very fairly and has
enumerated countless instances where
the public has been imposed upon by
fakirs.
There are at least twenty-eight va
