A UUEAT DASEI1ALL SEASON. ftkelchrt of Prominent I'Ujrcn Who tlav-e feigned for the Season The Philadelphia Club's New Daltrrjr. the Athletic'. New Pltrhcr mill Other. Unices all sign fall thli premise te be a great baseball year. Thcreli mera Interest In baseball than ever before. AVhyt Its easy enough te aoe why. The glebe trotters did It. Just revlew in your mind tbe trip they made around the world. First thcre wn talk of en Australian trip. The tcheme was dimisscd nil ever the country. Then the players were selected, then It was determined te ninke n trip around the world nn.l then the lays sfirtcd. Fellow them around the glebo circle. Ilecnll bow the rcKrls of their Camcs were cabled home. Remember the excitement they kicked up In Reme, then hew they drew crowds In Paris, then hew nil Bnglnnd was excited, and finally the grand wind up In New Yerk. Yeu wnnt te knew why this Is celng te Ihj n great Uiebnll year, de you I Well, that's the reaen. That trip will net be seen for gotten, and It has given an Impetus te the national game. Let us leek nt some of the new players who expect te de big work this year. The riilllleV new battery U no fcleuch Weed mid Decker. I doubt if you have ever heard of Weed. He Is li years of age nnd weighs 160 pounds. He first pitched for the Hamilton, Ontario, n 53. strong amateur Sri. nine, nnd In 1SS5 Joined the Iluffale, who were then In the National league He stayed with that team for thrra months nnd then returned te Hamilton team, no pitched flfty-one games for them durltig the Inst hen son, of which he wen forty nnd steed r. weed. number four In the pitching rank. According te The riiUndclphla Times he Is a geed stonily pitcher, hns excellent command of the ball and uses geed judgment In the variation of pnee. He ii also a geed all round player and ngoeJ free hitter. E. Harry Decker is per haps better known than Weed, ha ing plncd professionally for Uie past seven years. He is 'Jl years of no nud weighs DO ieiinds. The fit-it i-ntchlng be did was for the Beard of Tnidoef Chicago, when he caught Atkinson. In ltJ he signed with the Chicago Unions, nnd, was by them i eleacd te Evansville, I ud. , with Deard, Mnrr, anil Thoniiisen, nnd cnuglit for Kow Kew ders. He next be be bo came engaged by the Indianapolis, when that club was in the American as sociation, nnd was ene of the players R " deckkb. who went back te the Union association. He was blacklisted in 1SS3 and reinstated in the spring of 16ted The JIncen (Gn.) team, of the Southern league, then acquired his services, and liU ro re ro lensj was bought by Detieit In June, lBSft. He, with O'Dny, was sold te Washington In September. He was icscrvcd by the Wash ington nnd sold te Terente, for whom he caught nil last season. He was second in Kit ting in IbbT, and in lbS3 led the club with nn nvcrnge of ,!!C3. He is a rcllnble back step and uecurate thrower. The Athletic'b new pitcher, A. I. Paine, makes his professional debut this season. He has pitched for sev eral no ted New England nmatcur teams in ami around Newton, Jinss. In 1840 he signed by H. Fegcl, who was then man ager of the Iiidla Iiidla uapelis team, but he resigned. He Is n strong, sturdy young mnn, and Leu Knight fays that he is as geed as PAIKE. any he ever saw, which is a goal recommen dation. He Is steady and effective, has geed command of the ball, with a drop that is lia ble te feel the best of them. It is expected that he will be a valuable ac quisition te the team. Chicago has get Bemcrs. There is ue doubt but whnt Andy is a daisy. According te The Siurtlng Times he is ene of the best ball players that the city of Clevo Cleve lanil ever produced. Andy Is SI years old ntul of fiermnn descent. He comes fieui n highly ie- ..........i.l,. rn...ii.. his f nth or and brother being engaged In Iucrative business pursuits in Cleveland.

The great chess tournament In New Yerk has excited greater Interest perhaps than any lmllarv contest for many years especially among the levers of the royal game in Atncr- I lea. Net many readers. It may be safe te J JHlir, vim Olliuii vutn I'mjite, luimisuiuu bow such a contest of chess champions Is car ried en. Belew will be found some Impres sions gathered by two artists a writer for The New Verk Sun and a sketcher for The New Yerk Graphic Headi mex m. Kinmri TAtetMUis ncsTnie, McueLAs u'ixed. a. Lirscncrz. "It costs f 10 a day te maintain this tourna ment," said the doorkeeper te The Sun man, "nnd the play will last seven weeks. There nre twenty contestants, and each must play tnlee with each ether ene; twice, se that each player will hare the advantage of the first meve ngalnst each ether player. Tlie first round of games occupied thrce weeks, beginning with March S3. Tlie second round w ill last four weeks, in all probability, because, thcre is what we call a by day for the play ing out of nil drawn nnd contested games. These may tnke several days, of course." The hall of the tournament is a rectangular room the length of an ordinary house. The fleer is softened with strips of thin carpet, and the whitewashed walls licar a few photo graphs of groups of chessplayers, nn oil paint ing of Tnul Merphy and a few stenciled an nouncements en cardboard. The low cr halt of the hall Is where the contestants sit, nnd they nre roped in by means of what pugilists call n ring, inade of plne pests, from one te another of which runs n line of red picture cenl. Five feet apart, in two rows, stand the tables plain wlilte plne kitchen tables, each with n huge chess beard en it heaped with chessmen. On two sides of each tnble are varnished high backed chairs. There is a fliace nreund this roped in inclesure, bo be tween it and the walls, and here the specta tors congrcgate ene or two near the greater number of players, nnd a dozen or a scere huddled together clese te the niore skillful players, or the players whose games happen at the moment te be acutely interesting te theso who nre masters of the subtle game There Is a big card swung overhead in the inclesure. It reads: : CONVKWUTION : : BTMCTLY : wieiuiiiTED. : New a word ns te hew the tournament ieeni3 te ene w he knew s nothing about the game. On each table thcre U what Is called a pair of tunihle clocks two nickel Yankee clocks nailed te an ernate seesaw beard of ollve weed, ene clock being always in the air nnd ticking violently while the ether Is down almost en iU side, dead nnd noiseless. Each player must make fifteen moves in nn hour, therefore, each player has n clock which he tilts up and sets going whenever it Is his turn te play. Tlie clocks all tell a different time, but that makes no difference. Since the stalling movement of each is recorded nnd every play of every player is aLe en record, it Is easy te understand that when thirty plays have been mnde by any player the time Indicated by his clock must be within two hours of the time nt which his turn te play began. These tumble clocks, therefore, serve the purpoae of step watches. They are an Digllsh notion. They compel fairness in play, since they put all players ou an equal ity. It n player could tnke all the time he needed he would soe much mero than u player who had seme regard for the time used in a game. All is silence. Often thcre is only ene man at n table. His opponent has gotten up te stretch his legs. Perhaps he has geno out for a walk. Think of a game se slew as that I Coin jvi te It In the mind with a herse race or a gnme of baseball. Without looking at nn encylepedln te verify the thought, it scorns te n n onlooker that chess must have originated In China or India. Whcre thcre nre two play ers seated ever their beard the only way a nco nce nco ctnterhasof knowing which man is playing is b) looking nt the tumble clocks en the table. The ene that is ticking is, of course, next te tlie man who Is playing. But both men nre leaning back in their chairs, nnd both nre apt te lie pulling their mustaches or biting their lips. Here nnd there ene sees both players staring nt the beard between them, but mere often the only display of interest in the lieard Is seen In an occasional glance at it by the man whose clock is ticking. IIAMIAM AM) D1IID r-LAYI.NO. When The Sun reporter was present there was what might be called wild excitement ever n game between Taubcnliaus, of Pari?, and Balril, of New Yerk. By wild excite ment is meant a prcssure of a scere of it sous against the inclosure clese te the table of these players. It ve3 also expressed in the tendency of strangers te ceme up te the reerter and whisper: "Big game, ehP or, "HelI leso n reek, soe if he don't," or, "IIe's get a tough job thcre." Who had the tough job or who would leso a reek the reporter w 111 never tell, for nil he could see was a nat ty young New Yerker, with a big bulging forehead and a large scarf pin, seated opjio epjio opjie sito a sallow, black Iiaircd Hebrew with locks all tumbled and wearing it heavy suit of loud lutterned woolen tlethcs. In the period of the n ildest excitement the Hebrew from Taris moved a bishop nud threw ever the seesaw beard under the clock se ns te step his own nnd set his opponent's clock going. This movement was followed by a buzz among the sjiectaters, but the Hebrew took this op ep iwrtunity te get up nnd walk around the halL DRAMATIC ODDS AND ENDS.

This rcmirk was recently made by Jesh Wanl, the old time single tculr champion of America, nnd the best known of the famous four brothers who wrested the world's cham pionship from the English en Saratoga lake In 1971. A Bosten Herald man Interviewed him. When the picture here given n as made Jesh was champion of America, A tall, raw raw bencd, smooth fneed youth, with sloping shoulders, a bit of n steep, and net an ounce of superfluous fat te fill the lines that map out his smooth, hard muscles. He does net leek much different new. He was SI then; new he is 51. Continuing he saldt "Tlie beats and rigs have been improved wonderfully, and I think the men have learned te de their work easier, but it don't seem te me they get the speed they ought vwty, the sliding scat nlone ought te be worth 5 per cent, increase. De you knew hew thnt came te be madel Wnlter Brown and Tim Donehuc the father of the cham pion skater rigged my beat for the championship race. Mhen they wero fixing the stretch ers I said: 'Glvome plenty of room, lieys,' but somehow they cot me cramp jefiu waiu). ed up. 'Loek here,' I said, scraping the bleed off, when I get back, 'what you did by mak ing me sllde en the scat." 'If that's what sliding does,' said Brown, 'I'll make n sliding M-nt.' He did, and he put buttons Vn the sculls. My hands were all raw from the slip ping of them," "What Is the matter with the men of to day V "The men nre nil right. The troiible li with the style of training. They don't work hard enough, nnd they eat tee much, The youngsters wen't de the work we did. They nre nf raid of the hard knocks. They went te row nud run mero npd net de se much in the gymnasium. If they de a let of hard work in the heuse they get all muscle bound, nud If they don't de enough out of doers they can't last leuppose the young fellows will think I nm nn old fogy, but I mn telling you just w hat I lei ieve. Why 1 befere I left eif coach ing, the boys told me I was overworking them. Thcre was n crew I trained for the International race In Saratoga in TO. I won't glve the name. They get In second, and said they might have wen if I hadn't overworked them. They enme up the next year after training themselves. They were fresh and rosy. 'Keel first rate; going te w In sure,' they said. 'Yes, I said, 'nwaynhead at the start nnd lien here at the finish,' nud that's Just whcre they were." "What have been the Improvements In beats nnd rigs!" "Everything hns been improved except the model. It seems te me they hnve geno back ward in that. They mnke their lieats tee long and slim. Yeu soe, n beat ought te fit n mnn llke a suit of clothes. If I was wns going te row te-morrow nnd I weuld't let any of the old fellows get nway w lth me I would want a beat CO feet long and 14 Inches wide. That would suit my welght(105 pounds).

"Then, Mr. Ward, you bcliovetho impreve ment in beat3 nnd rigging has dene mero te bicak the old records than any improvement in the men, their training or in the science of reivingl-' TIIK I1AUV in ins SDEU. "Yes. Tlie men don't have as much te de, nnd they work easier; but thcre nre a geed many of the old records that they haven't been able te break yet. They haven't beaten the 23:10 that wen the championship of the world when my three brothers and I beat the Knglishnien ever the four mile ceurse en Saratoga lake, Sept 11, 1871.

It Is fitted with all the modern rigging, nnd a small stretcher Is placed nt the preicr distance, te which n dainty pair of row Ing shoes Is made fast. Tlie twat itself has a history.
