of foreign yachtsmen to challenge for
the new cup.
A radical section OF the clubs mem.
bership was willing to otTer the Upton
trophy practically without conditions
but the idea was overruled. The deed
of gift, however. will permit races by
yachts smaller than those necessary in a
contest for the blue ribbon trophy, the
minimum being placed at 35 feet II a
soop and 10 feet if a schooner. Six
months must elapse between the accept
ance of challenge and the first race of a
series for the trophy, which virtually
eliminates any chance of contest next
year.
\ unique feature of fhe deed of gift
provides that at any time within three
months after the acceptance of chal-
enge a third country may enter yacht
for the series by conforming to the other
conditions as to rig and length stipu-
lated for the defending yacht.

What Worried Tom Hughes.

A couple of seasons back, when things
were breaking badly for long Tom Hughes
in the matter of winning games. and IN
consequence the clever fellow was feeling
decidedly glum, he had a dream one night;
and it was a peacherino. Tom dreamed
that he was pitching against the Chicago
club, and that during the game he had
everything that any pitcher possessed be-
fore or since.
With these goods Tom was simply max
ing the champions look like lot of old
battered Japanese coin, and he had them
all tanning at the air.
At the termination of this dreamland
game. and when Tom had figured up his
average, he found that he had famed
twenty-five men. But when he discovered
this he quickly woke up, and with a start
and to his sorrow he found that indeed il
was only hallucination.
The next day out at the park Tom went
up against the Windy city crowd, and as
they happened to be feeling good they
simply chased Tom out of the box.
When Tom went back to the bench ne
happened to run into Case Patten, and he
began to tell Case about the hard luck ne
was playing in. and as Case just then was
under a cloud himself. he was ready with
the sympathetic dope.
Tom told Case about his dream of the
night previous, and as he seemed to
dwell on that stunt Patten, wishing to
say something that he thought was timely,
said to Hughes:
"Oh. well, Tom. I wouldn't think about
that; it was only dream anyway"
YES" replied Tom as he gritted his
teeth and looked with anger at the chesty
White SoX, lit was only a dream; but
d it, that's what makes me so sore"

When Tom Brown Was Manager.


A number of years ago Tom Brown. the
umpire, was managing the Washington
base ball club, managing it we'll, although
Tom had some first-class Indians to
handle.
One of Toms most important duties
was to hold his players down to the SIM
pie life, for the majority of them would on
the slightest provocation kick over the
traces. and go down 18th street and fill up
with lemonade or some more eXhilara ting
beverage
Now. gentlemen who spend money freely
are generally to be found needing the
ccin right along. and the members of the
Washington club at the time that Brown
managed them were always looking to-
ward pay Gay.
Many used to borrow money from the
management between times. One of this
number was the celebrated second base
man Reitz, who was a star in his time,
and perhaps was as good a man at this
But the clever fellow could spend money
faster than he made it, and he generally
needed some right along.
One night he came in Tom Browns
room while Tom was in bed. and ap-
preaching the managers cot 'Reitz asked
Are you asleep, Tom?'
and what if 1 am?' drawled Brown O.
/ why. if you are not asleep. Tom re-
piled Reitz, II want to borrow So
why, I'm awful sorry" returned
Brown, but the fact is, Reitz, that am
not only asleep but. man, I'm in a regu-
lar trance

What Saved Bill Coughlin.

Bill Coughlin, the doughty Detroit cap
tain, and one of the gamest base ball
men that ever lived, started in life as a
breaker boy in the mines up around his
home in Pennsylvania.
1t was while following this arduous oc-
cupation that Bill lost the two fingers on
his left hand, which necessitates his wear
ing mitt instead of a glove.
But even with this handicap old Bill
holds his end up among the leaders, and
always has done so. ''''''
During. those horrible mining accidents
which happened all in a row. though in
different parts of the country a few
weeks ago. Coughlin YVES in Washington

the subject of mining disasters was
brought up. Harry. knowing that the
clever third baseman had once been a

his hat and coat. and in company with
a stroll down Broadway. On Brownies
suggestion the two ball players entered an
eating place in the vicinity of 14th street
and Broadway and ordered dinner.
When the soup was served both of the
hungry ball players dove down into the
liquid, and Immediately after Bowerman
had carried his spoon to his mouth he let
out a YELL and when Browne looked up
hurriedly he was somewhat astonished to
find Bowerman holding the spoon in one
hand, while between the thumb and fore
finger of his other hand, he held up to
view one of those small safety pins.
What do You think of this. George"
cried Frank. who was all excitement:
and s'posen ! had swallowed it?' he
continued.
''Oh; it wouldn't have hurt you," coolly
replied Browne.
1T wouldn't nave hurt me. and why
not?'' cried the amazed catcher.
Why, because It's safety pin" shot

Ralph Glaze's Progress.
Young Glaze. the speedy pitcher of the
Boston American League club. is gradu-
ate of the Dartmouth College team
club he was the whole works.
1t was mainly due to the high-class ball
the good looking Boston boy pitched that
enabled his team to put it all over some
of the best college base ball teams in
America He has brother now at the
same college. who is making fine record
both in base ball and foot ball.

THE MINISTER'S SON.

1t is with genuine pleasure that
one can look forward to a visit OF
"The Minister'S Son." the beauti-
full comedy that is soon to be
presented here. An evening that
can be recalled with the most
pleasant memories can but fall to
the lot of the auditor who sits
through a performance of "The
Minister'S Son." a play OF worth
of naturalism, a play that is uplift-
ing and above all, play that is
pure and one of which competent
critics have seen fit to say that
zone is better for having seen"
1t is a we'll known fact that play
without heart interest rarely
achieves success. From the boy
in the galley to the gray haired
man down stairs, they all want
some love, some devotion, but it
must be true to nature and clean.
With a play so purely human and
so admirably presented, small
wonder then that "1'he Minister'S
Son" has achieved a success of
the most pronounced kind. The
management has surrounded this
play with the very best cast at
taina bic and the scenery and
accessories are of the most lavish
description
There is probably no class of
plays today so popular as the
realistic comedy drama-a play
that does not depend on sensa-
tional effects to prove its merit.
"The Minister'S Sons" fills all the
requirements of this class; it is
quaint and original with a blend
ing of pathos and comedy that
appeals to the heart. Such play $
are rare indeed in these days OF
stage effects. 1t will be presented
at the Auditorium, Tuesday, Feb.

Barlow's MINISTRIES played last

deserved the audience, for more
gifted aggregation of minstrel
talent was never brought together
on a stage in this city. 1t is
impossible to specialize, as every
feature was high class and up to
the best standard. The troupe in
cludes a number of splendid vocal
lists and a quartet that is superb.
The stage settings were in keep
ing, and the Jokes We're crisp and
new. During the performance the
house rang with deafening APP
plausc at frequent intervals, while
the Jokes, comic songs and trite
hits at local affairs kept the
audience convulsed with laughter.
The contortionist tied himself into
impossible knots, and was ac-
claimed peerless in his especial
profession. Other specialties were
of the same high order, and
Barlow's Minstrels captivated the
audience from beginning to end.
They can count on warm well
