An Klglit Club Clrrnlf AOvanUg
About all the Niilen.il liuimt iniin..
bve come te tlie conclusion that with only I
better thape for the coming fight with the
Brotherhood, iKcausea ten thb circuit is apt
te be somewhat unwieldy and lciue th
cutting off of two cities would add le th
strengtli of the ene city nf all etben where
the flerceat nnr will be wnged, IJnt while
cenctdlng the Advisability of a mero compact
circuit Indeed, renlrtcrliijt It almet nliso nlise
hitely necewary the Leaue men are at their
wits' end for a Kheme by which the rcduo rcdue rcduo
tlen can be mode and all conflicting Interests
properly atUfld.
There is 110 doubt that the League could
vote the two extra clubs out. but iucli a tum
mary proceeding is net in accordance with
the cuitem of the organization. Other means
must prevail The two clubs which are really
superfluous are these from Washington and
Indianapelis: superfluous principally became
neither city can draw much ever the guaran
tee except en special holidays, and then only
a little mere compared te what could It get
in ether cities. This means, then, that if the
two clubs remain In they will have te be car
ried along and practically supported by the
ether and richer cltles. This yweuld be en
tirely se in the case of the Wtbingten club,
which has no team worth wrti tinning from a
itagus stanapeint, nojpespoct or getting
ee gjuUie t0204H j5V it with even if geed
material was available.
Mr, Hewitt has net get a single veteran en
gaged te far. He ti getting together a team,
it Is true, but that team would be nothing
mero than a dead weight in the League. Cer
tainly, If Woihingten was a geed ball town
capable, of supporting a gilt edged team, it
would hare Jutt as much claim te considera
tion at the hands et the League as Mew Yerk,
but It has been fully demonstrated that Wash
ington Is outclassed as a National leeguacity.
Mr. Ilswltt is satisfied of this. He has been
and is making big bluffs about his intentions,
but thsy can, undsr thscireunutances, be ox ex
cused. There can be no doubt that be is
ready te sell out te the League, and that hs
expects te sell. He has sunk a geed deal of
money and wants te get It back, and bis
bluffing U simply done for the purpeu of
keeping up bis price at the highest notch.'
Walter Hewitt Las a very wise head. The
team he is getting together Is destined for the
Atlantic association, and that ts where Walter
will pilot tbsm.
At Indianapolis affairs are somewhat dif
ferent The town cannot of Itself support a
League team. Mr. Bruth has, however, been
se persuasive that be has managed te bold his
men, and today has signed, perhaps, in many
respects the best team in the League. At any
rate, en paper It is ths equal of any. Brush
bas get something te tell, Hswltt has noth
ing but a franchise. Brush, having a draw
ing team, could come pretty near recouping
his lesaes of the past two years if bs could
have a season under the 40 per cent, division.
In plain words, he could work hiinnelf clear
at the expanse of his associates.
Ths Leagus Is under obligations te Mr.
Brush because of his skill In holding bis play
s: ?sa?tis:: 2Sst!v
Leagua Unless Brush wauts te go thsy T Y
net force htm out. That Brush has his i&
net force him out. That Brush bas his r r
is sui e. He is a wise and lsvsl beaded rn
Whatever his figures may be, be wi) net
dlrulge them te reporters. Up te f ,lme
when the League assembles at CleveM" Mr.
Brush wilt net even admit thatJ ft
Srice. The Leagus will hear ii '"en, Mr.
rush and his associates paid ""thing like
118,000 for their franchise. "witt 8vs up
considerably less. Brush wget a handsems
preilt en his Investment JWJ" ' "' I""'
te get much mere than P11 ln originally.
The question will b-1,Cussed at Cleveland
March 4. On thatV ,h League will held
a reconvened ann'1' meeting and a schedule
meeting nt the ame time. The most feasi
ble scheme, an'"18 en Hkslyte be adopted,
Is the purchr of th Washington and Indi
anapolis fruchlses by the League at liberal
figures tine cese, and at a fair valuation in
the eth' w"u n premise, may be, that when
thoLe8ue lm' annihilated its fees both cities
maT,eturn te the Held and a ten club circuit
glvJi a fair trial. Ths Indianapolis players
wll then be turned ever te New Yerk ant
."ittsburg at a fair valuation. Washington
wil be permitted te keep its men for a team
iu another organization.
Ot course, there is one thing the disposition
et which may make a change in the pro pre
gramme, and that Is the Ward cese. It will
come te trial as seen as the League can get it
into court. Ward is satisfied te leave tilings
as they are and Is delaying as much as possi
ble, but he will hardly be able te stave off a
trial Should the League win, it would prob
ably stick te the ten club circuit
The probabilities new are that the matter
will net be settled much bofero April 1. The
League will certainly net decide 011 a pel tua
nent policy if there is any hope, as there
seems te be new, of gettlng a final dntislau in
the Werd case duriug March.
At Cleveland tw 0 schedules will probably
be arranged, one for eight and one for ten
clubs, unless Brush and Hewitt should decide
te ball out. If tbeystkk the tne schedules
are likely te lis wade up and held secret until
a final course is decided upon. One thing
teems reasonably sure, and that Is tlmt if a
pennsnent schedule Is agreed upon at Clev e
laud it will net be made publle until after the
Brotherhood schedule is given out. It has
been suggested that it the Brotherhood fail te
fmblish their schedule the League will de
Ikswise until Just before the season opens,
when the dates will be furnished te the papers
for a month in advance about the first of
each month,
I am told by parties who ought te knew
that it has been decided te conflict with the
Brotherhood as often as possible, and as It is
leared that the Brotherhood de net desire
this, in spite of its claims te that effect, the
schedule will net be given out in time te
glve the Brotherhood an opportunity te make
a new schedule, which will avoid as much as
possible conflicting dates. One League man
ager told me the ether day that be believed
that the few dates given out by Secretary
Brunell.ef the Brotherhood, at Fittsburg,
purporting te have been agreed upon, Mere
incorrect and merely glveu as a blind and
ns a "stiff" tip te the League,
"Whether this be true or net," said my in
formant, "we are net going te teke any
chances. We shall be secretlve as long as we
can fairly be se te the public. We shall act
Just as we would If w e kuew that Brunei! had
put out a take. We shall believe him a pre
varicator and thsn will be safe in any event"
There will be plenty of excitement, some
grand playiuz during the season, and at the
end of ft leth sides will have nn opportunity
te divide the losses caused by the war.

but ths champions at weight throwing repre

heavier than tbe average of mankind. The
reason for this Is quite obvious; for, although
a heavy man may net lie. strong iu propor

being heavier enable him te threw a missile

the motion of sending a stone or n baseball
is familiar te all.
But the word "put," as used when speak
ing et putting tbe shot, Is little understood,
and even at tbe present time, in some of the
loosely managed nthletle games, unpleasant
disputes arlie regurdlu it Putting tbe shot
Is nethlug but pusbteg it An excellent sam
ple of a correct style preparatory te the
movement is shown in the picture. It w ill be
noticed that there is no grip en the shot at
all, and it apparently lies loosely in the ath
lete's hand. If thci e w as any curve descrltied
in casting the missile, a grip would be neces
sary te held it iu place, and the fact that the
best pertorrners in the gnme de net grasp the
ball at all vvblle delivering it Is ceuclutve
evidence tbat a sti night push is the correct
st)le.
In practicing for the game it would be
well te have the beginner stand at a mark
Just ns is ehewn iu tbe ncceinpsuying illus

the ball raise quickly with the waist, send the

actly leversed, vii , right feet in front, left

hand putter, but it the athlete Is left handed
he can reverse the order of things.
Particular stress should be put en the nnlst
motion, for uev ices generally de nil the work

jvut almost ns Important, The further down
an athlete steeps while delivering the shot,
just se much further the ball will go, unless a
position is taken se low that the principal
will lese his balance or be thrown off iu en
deavoring te make a straight push.
After the athlete is fairly well at home in
the final delivery et the ball at a standstill,
be may commence te try it as it is done iu
actual competition, with a run. The rulea
allow a seven feet run inside et a circle of
that diameter. Aright banded putter should
start at the back edge of the circle in the
same jioeltien he would assume if he were
putting from a stand, as shown in the pict

competition at it is an excellent test of down
right strength. The game is new very simi
lar te that of throwing the hammer, being
controlled by thn same rules. The shape of
the weight Is different, for in place et being
a sphere with a long wooden handle, it bas a
short triangular shaped iron handle, wblch
can be grasped by one or two hands, as the
nthlete tees fit. The spherical part of the
weight is about 0 inches in diameter, and tbe
total length combined with the handle is lim
ited te 10 inches. The athlete gees through
about the Same motieus as In thi owing the

it fuither with one band thou with two, for
the handle is se short that a fi ee sw Ing around
the head cannot be obtained with two hands
en account of the contraction of the shoulders.
The best record of the gnme Is 30 feet 1

ev er 230 pounds In athletic costume. He also
holds the record at throwing from a stand of
7 feet 4 inches. He has net yet thrown the

America and Australia, and, thanks te
the system of refrigerator shipment, the
imported bef is for the most part supe
rior te the domestic article, although few
of the English will admit it; indeed, soma
of them still consider it as only next deer
te xisen.
The regular every day dinner of ths
middle class family uf moderate means
consists of beef or mutton boiled te death
or roasted te dry tastelessness (the En
glish abhor rare meat), with white pota
toes and cabbage, followed by some sort
of pudding for dessert, net because there
Is any lack of variety from which te
cheese, but merely because it is their
habit, and Jehn Bull is a 'stickler for
regular habits. The English mutton is
excellent, far inore juicy and tender
than our best Southdown, and they cook
it much better than they de beef. The
usual niode of cooking fowl, which al
ways means chicken, is te boil it with
ham. The Saxen fondness for thu swine
is general, as "veal and 'am" "(ham),
"fowl and 'am" und the certainty with
which you niv eiTered " 'am and heggs"
at every country inn abundantly testify.
At first the ham, which is nearly always
geed, imparts an agreeable flavor te the
fowl, but it becomes monotonous te the
stranger after awhile, though the natives
never seem te tire of it. "'Pigs' trotters,"
-i, c.i pigs' frit are esteemed a great
delicacy among the common people and
may be had in every Londen cook shop.
The English nre great fish eaters, and
there are many eating houses in Londen
and elsewhere where only llsh is served.
Tlie sole, the turbot and the john-dereo
nre among specialties. Tha latter is close
ly akin te our drumflsh in appearance ana

These ut Greenwich nre esteemed espe
cially geed, nnd it is a common thjng for
the passenger en the penny beats te buy
n pocketful of shrimps te regale himself
with en the return trip, eating them as
coolly as the American docs peanuts.
When the Englishman gives an American
n dinner, he always, by way of compli
ment te the guest, includes raw oysters
en the bill of fare, a compliment which,
if it be the guest's first experience of the
Uiitish oyster, is apt te take away Ida
appetite That bivalve is small and
leathery, and the strong coppery flavor,
which the English like se much, is any
thing but ngrceable te a nev ice. "Our
oysters nre small," said an Englishman
who had traveled much, and was famil
iar with American cities, "our oysters
nre email, but then the flavor. My idea
of (he ideal oyster is ene of your Blue
Points with the llaver of our English
oyster."
"H'ml" answered n disgusted Ameri
can, who was vainly endeavoring te
wash the said llaver out of his mouth;
"the flavor is easy enough te get. Just
suck a copper cent!"
The English carefnr less for het dishes
thnn w 0 de. In every hotel dining room
or large restaurant you will find a table
spread w itli cold meats of nil sorts, in
cluding several kinds of flsh and game,
most appctizingiy garnished nnd deco
rated, Quite ns many orders are taken
for this table us for thu kitchen, and it is
a usual thing for the customer te go ever
te it iu order te make his choice, fre
quently dliccting the carver what cut te
serve. So.'rcise, 3 ou may buy cold meats,
ham, fevv 1, game, salmon, beef, roast or
a la mode, tongue, head cheese, mutton,
veal; nil j thing, in fact, which you may
want for luncheon or high tea, daintily
dressed iu the best Fiench style. Much
mere astonishing than tlie" fancy for cold
meats is that for told toast. The toast
rack is a usual appendage of the Eng
lish breakfast table, and is invariably
filled vv ith toast, stone cold.
I ence heard an indignant American
declare his belief that his landlady mide
toast ence a week te last seven days.
"And it don't take much te last me, I
Wii tell eul" heudded. The English muf
fin is rarely served het, and 13 ut its best
w hen split open and toasted. Het and
a little richer, it would be much like tlie
American flapjack. There nrc no crack
ers in England; our "ci ackers" nie all
biscuits. Se, also, fruit pics are known
only as tarts, the term pte being confined
te meat pasties. "Leve in disguise" is
the title, net of a dainty desscit, but of
n shiep'8 heart baked in a pie. If you
call for a pie in u Londen rcbtnuranl the
w niter answers, "Yes, sir; veal und 'am,
or betteeaL'r" The English potato is
perfect, mealy, large, and w hite as belted
w beaten flour. Sweet potatoes are an
imported luxury, as is Indian corn, which
is little cultivated in the United King
dom. The vegetable marrow of England
is identical with the squash of New Eng
land mid thu cymhng of the southern
states. All green herbs for feed grew
luxuriantly iu the moist, mild English
climate, nnd salads of till sorts are excel
lent. a Londen costermeiiger's cart is a
pretty sight te sec fei the artistic group
ing of the various vegetables. The red
and white of the radishes, the crimson of
beets, the ellew of carrots, and the dif
ferent Bhades of green bright green of
spinach, blue green of knle, pale green of
bleached cabbage, etc. are blended and
contrasted with the skill of an expert
florist making a bouquet. Covent Oar
den market is a sight which 110 visitor te
Londen should miss seeing. Te see il
ene must rise early, as the market is
practically ever by 0 o'clock, and it is at
Us best at about 0 in the morning. Great
piles of fruit and vegetables, making
masses of color which artists leve te
study (there are few picture exhibitions
at w Inch there are net ene or mere scenes
from Covent Garden), the ruaikct men
and women in their quaint, old fashioned
costumes, the army of purchasers of all
sorts und conditions, and most of all the
flower market, with its wealth of English
bloom, and rarer, but no mere beautiful,
foreign blossoms, form a picture te dwell
in tbe memory forever.

Plums are great glebes of luscious sweet-
ness; indeed, It is a marvel tbat fruit
should be se fine which has se little tun.
Peaches arc rare, luxuries, and at the
cheapest sell two for a shilling ia Covent
Garden, being dearer at the shops. It if
safe te say tliat thousands of Londoners
never taste fruit except e-anges, which
are sometimes as low as a penny apiece;
and an apple orttale berries, very rarely.
The British ruuskuielen Is mere like a
pumpkin than it Is like te our American
cantaloupe, and it is a tax upon Yankee
politeness te be asked te cat it, although
it is much mere expensive than our
freckled Jenny Linds.
Watermelons are strictly het horn
fruit, but are imported te, aome extent
from America. In fact, all the beat fruit
eaten in England is raised in het houses,
the art being carried te th6 utmost per
fection. Peaches nnd plums are knewa
as "wall fruit," the trees being trained
against a wall as though they were vine.
The Englishman builds a high brick wall
around his premise, and fortifies it Wit
broken bottles, or sharpened nalla, stuck
thickly along the top. His Idea of coat -fort
includes seclusion from the outside
world. Against this wall he nalla hk
trees, nnd tends tlie fruit with jealous
care. A story is told et &n Arnericaaaea
captain, who, at a little dinne., helped,
himsel f te three peaches from a plate cn. "
taing half a dozen ene for each guest
and coolly ate them all. Peaches were
no rarity te him, and he did net dream
that these had ceit bis host a guinea
apiece. Het house grapes may be had at
al I seasons, nnd arc second only te peaches
and pineapples (they uhvavs call them
pines) in expensiveness.
None of our American pccuUarltiee
horrifies the English like our fondness
for ice. Of late jcars you find it at all
the hotels and large restaurants, but its
use in private houses is exceptional, and
at some of the leading hotels you are ex
pected te pay extra for ice water. The
English never drink it. "They give you
a cent's worth of hoky-peky, and call it
Neapolitan ice cream," said a Philadel
phiun, who could net forglve the short ra
tions of his fnvorite dainty. The quan
tities served are infinitesimal, two tea
spoonfuls in n nest of fluted paper, such
as confectioners use for line candies, be
ing the regulation dish. "Eat a great
saurcrful of ice cream I" exclaimed an
Englishwoman te the writer, "I should
expect te did" I chanced te mention
my weakness for frozen bananas. "Fan
cy!" was the short but emphatic com
ment. Yeu never see a whele bunch of
bananas, even in the windows of the
Regent street shops. A "hand" or two
is tbe largest display made at once.
"I have an infallible method of telling

Their method of serving butter at table
is as pretty as it is economical. Yeu
never 6ce a pound print of butter ou an
English table. Instead, the butter is
made into all manner of fanciful shape,
making the portions dealt te each person
as small ns they can well lie, often look
ing as though meant for a dell's table.
Squirted butter, made by squeezing the
butter in strings through a hole, in th
bottom of a stiff piece of paper rolled te
n funnel; "scooped butter," made by
scooping the butter-, quickly and thinly
with a scoepcr that lias been dipped in
warm water; "curled butter," by putting
the butter into a cloth, two ends of which
are fastened te a hook in the wall, and
the ether two tied in a knot te pass a
stick through. The cletji is twisted
tightly, se that the butter falls in small
curlccucs through the knot. Beside
these there are any number of pretty
melds sold for shaping thin, small squares
of butUr. Yeu de net often see indi
vidual butter plates; instead, the custom
is te use one small plate for both bread
and butter.
Cream is sold in quaint little jugs,
holding ulieut half a pint, and is deli
rious, although the Londen lodging
house keeper regards it with distrust and
saj s it is "doctored." The Dcvonshire
clotted cienmisa national dish which
there are few who de net like.
The best pickles in the world are, as
cvtiybedy knows, made in Londen, and
arc cheap accordingly, ns they pay no

Potatoes, eggs and apples are sold by
