Every one knows that the tracers of the
Cleveland dab, especially early in the season,
ha been the wonder et the year among tlie
patrena and principal of professional base
ball. There te net a single "tar among nil
the Clereland, and the Hilary of one man is
about a much a that of another. "Recerd
playing" 1 net permitted, and when the club
la en the flcld it i expected te work for run
that count and net for records which very
cftcn de net count. Manager Let tus has been a
most important member of the dub, although
his name does net appear en the cere card.
Boated en the players' bench nt every game
be give hi men order hew te pitch, hew te
bat and hew te run base. IIe knew the
weakness of every geed batter In the League,
If a low ball cannot le hit by ene man he I
aware of the fact. If another man finds It
impossible te de anything with a high ball
Ijeftu knew that, tee. This Information
he Imparts te hi pitchers and they conduct
themselves accordingly.
Thcre are flve pitchers In the team, First
among them, according te the rocepls, I
Jehn P. O'Brien, who learned his curve,
drops and sheet nt West Trey, N. Y.,
the training ground of many another geed
ball player. He Is 22 year old. He llrst
played with the Qlcns Falls club In lbS5, al
ternating as pitcher nnd third baseman. Tlie
team wen the championship of the Hudsen
Valley league. Afterward he played nt
Oneida, N. Y., Bradford, Pa., nnd Lima, O.
The Oneida and the Minns, with him In the
box, both wen the championship In the or
ganizations te which they belonged. Tlie
Cleveland, whlleln the Atnorlcnnnsfceclntlon,
bought him from Mnui, and he proved te be
such a geed man that he was hired te accom
pany the club Inte the National league. He
throws a puzzling ball, but Is net cry cer
tain in his aim. Recently he has lest several
games through that fault. He Is a medium
sized man, slew of movement and Irish in
face and general make up.
Enech Bakcly, Clev eland' next liest
pitcher, might be the lest In the world If hi
habits had alway been goal. However, he Is
doing much better under the fatherly fujHT fujHT
vlslen of Let tus, nnd If he 1 true te the faith
be will be a matchless plnycr In his imimrtant
and difficult position. He was bem at lllnck-
woedtown, N. J., near Camden, In IMS. Klx
years age he entered the employ of the man
agers of the Athletic, of Philadelphia.
Next he played with the Keystones, nlsoef
Philadelphia, ene of the clubs that made tip
the old Union association. Lntcr he went te
Albany, N. Y., then te Rochester. I.ast year
he was taken te Cleveland aud at the end of
the season hired for nnether caniinlgii. He
I a geed fielder and, for a pitcher, a fair bat
ter. E, A. Reatln, the third pitcher, Is n south
erner, having been born ill llnltlmore In
1SG0. He has played w Ith the Fredericks, of
Maryland, the Allcutewin, of Pennsylvania,
and the Detroit, of Michigan. He was
bought by the latter club and by them sold
te Cleveland nt the beginning of the present
season. Tlie teams nt Allcntewn nnd Detroit
wen the championship whlle he was with
them. He is a tlrst class pitcher, an nmlable
player and an cncrgetla gum chewer. He
throws a very skillful ball nt tlmes, nnd
nothing delights him mero than te see a bats
man strike at ene of hi drops and ml It by
a feet or two. On such occasions he chews
bis gum with renewed vigor and smiles nt
the same time, The facial result can perhaps
be imagined.
The fourth pitcher Is "little'' Henry
a ruber, who also went thcre from De
troit. He Is n New Haven boy, nnd liefuru
he went te Michigan played In New England.
He he never attempted nuy ether position
than the ene that has made him famous. Ills
rank is among the liest, nnd he would per
haps be a better man than heis ev eu new If
he were given mero w erk te de.
Charles Sprogue Is the fifth pitcher In the
team. He was born In Clev eland nnd Is 22
j ears old. It Is said of him that he has n
mere varied assortment of curves than any
ether pitcher In the country. However, he
lacks experience, nnd In the National loague
that is a si rleus fault.
By nil odds llie liestcatcherln the Cleveland
club is Chnrles L. .immcr, w he Is n mm fielder,
a line "backstep'' mid n ten Itle batter. When
he hits tlie ball It is almost sure te go te tlie
fence it thcre U one, nnd K-yunil the
reuch of the fielder if Ultra Is net one
Hi battlug nerage Is mero than UK),
and no oilier man but McKenu among
all the Cleveland can be compared with
him. He was born lu Marietta, O., and
is 29 year old. He Is large, lnticiilar,
smooth faced, straight as n hickory sa
llng and just as tough, nnd is n pleas
ing young man te leek at. He hastened
the clubs at Irenton, O., nnd Poughkecjisle
and Rochester, N. Y. His releasewas pur
chased by the Clevel tnd management from
the latter club in 1W7.
E. U. Sutcliire, the catcher who alternates
with Zlmmer, Is also S3 year old. He
was born In Wbenteu, UK, nud lias
served nt Chicago, Bt. Leuis, Bavuuunh,
Dee Moines and Detroit When he was
at Chicago that club wen the championship
in the National league, and when he was
with Detroit he participated in the gnmes Iw
tween the team at thut city aud theSt. Leuis
Drowns for the world's championship.
The remaining catcher Is Charles Bnyder,
who Is ene of tlie eldest ball pluycr in the
country. He became a professional sixteen
years age, lielng ene of the uiue men com cem com
jiesing N. E. Yeung' Washington team, lu
1871 he was a member of the famous Lord
Baltimore. In 165 he was with Philadel
phia, in 1ST0 and lbT7 with Letilsv llle, and In
1873 with Bosten, when It wen the I.oague
pennant, Hlille in Bosten he caught for Tem
Bend, and the two men formed what was
then the strongest battery in America. After After
eords he was employed by the Washington!
and then returned te Renten, lleth clubs
were pennaut wlnuers when he was with
them. Seven years age be left the League
and joined the Ciuciunutls,w here he remained
until lbS7, when Cleveland purchased htm.
He has seen his best da), it is thought, and
has been Ul the greater part of this season.
Tne Cleveland Infield is made up of Jay
I.. Faatz, first baseman: Jehn Strieker, sec
ond baseman; E, J. McKean, short step, and
Oliver IL Tebeau, third baseman. Faatz
comes from Weedsport, N. Y., and is 2S
years old. He was secured by the Cleveland
management from Terente, Canada, whlle
the club we in the American association,
and was hired net only because he was a
competent baseman, but for the reason that
he had executive ability and was a geed cap
tain. Before hi engagement in Clet eland he
appeared In the smaller league. He Is slen
der a a knitting nwslle and long as a fence
roll. As a batter this year he has net been
very bright and shining light. The star of
the infield Is BtrlcVer, knows n!r as the
"Cub,- for the reason, ue doubt, thut he is
SO years old and rather short In stature. He
was born iu Philadelphia, and for a time
played with the Athletic of that city, He
was also given an engagement iu the south,
but was never iu the league until this j ear
Be I a fair batter, a met mart eleus fielder,
and a bose runner of the first grade. In

The outfield of the club Is, except In bat
ting, the best, pe'hT! 'n t,)0 National

Radferd the right. Radferd comes from
Roxbury, Mass., and is S3 year old. HI

rtalleLi wcre cast very early In tbclitv
tery of tnnn, tlie word ballet being do de do
rlved from n Grectt wertl meaning "te
threw." Tlie ballet )ev Is ns old ns tlie
ballet. Tlie Athenians voted lu their
assemblies nml In lliclr courts, nt first
by casting pebbles into tlie boxes. Af
terwards they used wliile nnd black
beans, tlie whlle meaning "yes," the
black "no." Tlie naine process Is tised
te Ibis day In electing members te socie
ties, and the term "black balled" was
doubtless used nineng the Athenians as
nt the present day. At Athens the as
semblies which were held in public
places wcre neparatcd from tlie jieople
only by ropes, and when tlie members
went tip te tlie ballet box te vete all
could bce liew tlicy oted.
CfTrTT

Tlie ballet has long been In use in 1'ng
llsli corpernto bodies, nnd tlie American
colonies Inherited it from tlie mother
country. Hut frce voting by tlie people
mero nearly ns it Is In America wni only
proposed byO'Cennell In 1830. The new
plan did net nt first tnnke much head way,
for O'Cennelh) only received twciily-one
votes In tlie liouse of commons. Ills
preposition nftcrwards tecelved support
from Gretc, Cobden, Macatilay, nml nt
length Dreiiglinm nnd ether prominent
Kngllsliiiicn. I'liially, under the leader
ship of aiadstenu, it was ndeptcd in
1873, with regulations te becure secrecy.
This took the ballet out of the band of
corperato liediefl, like the Kegllsh bor
ough, nnd distributed It te a greater ex
tent nmeng llie people.
Fer many years the best mellied of
casting votes has been n Bubject for Btudy
wllli roferenco te randerlug fraud liu
Kss!ble, nnd the ballet box hat under under
geno many modlllcatiens. Still the vete
U cast Biibstantlally always en tlie bjiiie
general plan. The vete is printed en a
plece of paper nnd cast Inte a box.

In Bome states the voter drops the bal bal
eot Inte the box himself, wliilu In ethers
lie hands it te nn Inspector, who drops it
in for lilm. It remains in the box until
llie K)lls nre closed, when the inspectors
begin te count tlie ete.H. By this means
couiplele fceerecy is obtained; but eUerls
haoefteu been made by party managers
(e illscmer bow certain persons have
voted by resorting te tickets of a iieculiar
color or marked tickets, but the law lu
most Mates forbids the use of any except
plain ulille paper.
The ballet in Its secret form lias
been iu use for years iu France, Sw itzer
land, Italy nud Greece. The sj stems iu
these countries ililfer. In bome the voter
is geun ticket with the names of nil
the candidates upon it, from which hu

of nil that.
ANOTnnt reitit of mviikixe places.
New countries, whose )eople take u
system from old ones w here it has been
long in use, ure very npt at making im im
prevemenU. They nre untrammeled by
usages, and take the Bystem divested of
any appendages by which it is clogged

he gees and deposits lus ba'let, and all is
done. Ne heelers or bummers or be

be nailed or screwed together perma

necessity for carrying water up stairs and
slops down Is entirely done away with. The
convenience of having het and cold water

An excess of plumbing fixtures distribute

many variations enthl snmn arrangement

bring about result mero or less satisfactory.
The rooms may be made larger, the length of
the dining room may extend in another di
rection, and, if sufllctently long, may make
room above for a bathroom at one end aud a
bedroom at the ether, and In this way give
flve bedrooms en the second fleer. This liouse

OBSERVATIONS ON WH.T
DrsehapelUs Mi Finest Player Modern
Method of Playing ttsa Gasac.
According te Clay, the finest player who
ever lived wa a Frenchman, Deschapelles.
He was born la 1780 and died In 1817. HI
play at the Parisian clubs was by far the
most brilliant and original ever known. The
flne "coups" were of hi Invention. In fact,
there can be no doubt that Clay's line plays
ran be traced te the Influence of Deschapelle.
The grand coup, the necessity for which may
net happen once In a thousand times, bust
when It doe happen and 1 played 1 consid
ered one of the finest play In tbe game, con
sist of throwing away a useless trump te
gain n trick upon the forced play of right
hand opponent, and the se called Deschapelle
coup made by the lead of a high card at the
head of many te be lest te the adversary that
the play may be forced up te the leader's
partner, are two of hi most brilliant play.
Clay says of the grand ceup: "Everyone
who has played whist 'much must have ob
served the net Infrequent occasion when a
player has found himself In the last three
card of the hand with a trump tee many.
IIe ha been obliged te trump hi partner'
trick, te take the lead himself nnd te lead
from hi tcnece Instead of being led te, by
which a trick is lest. The triumph of the
great whist player is te foresee thn position
and te take an opportunity of getting rid of
this inconvenient trump, which may be done
either by undertrumping the adversary when
you cannot overtrump him or by trumping
your partner's trick when you held a losing
card, with which you knew you can again
glve him the lead if you wish te de se. I
have known Deschapelles, and net Infre
quently, te foresee this difficulty and te de-
rend blmsell against it many tricks ocrero it
w a established or at all apparent te any oue
else."
But the game we have te consider I net
the game of England, but tbe game of Amer
ica, or rather the game which is played by
the best player in America. The game of
short whist which Is se popular In England
1 net played In America te any great extent.
The three games of whist which are In vegua
at present are short whist, five point whist
and long whist In the first, honors and
points go te make up the game, and the
game te make the rubber. Tbe game is fin
ished in short whist when seven tricks are
taken from start te finish by a player and
bis partner. In flve point whist, five points
by cards being made, the game i closed and
gees toward the rubber. In this game the
game is finished when elevca tricks are taken
from start te tlnlsli. Tem Iuikwe.
