W. I. Harris Writes About the
Western Baseball JLeague.
GOOD PLATERS AND DIG CROWDS.
St. Faul U the Only Weak Spot In the
Aggregation, and New Capital Will Soen
Add Strength There Seme Queer Nick
name The right or the Big Magnet.
Ten thousand peeple attended thotwe
ball games" at Minneapolis en Decoration
day, 4,000 one game at Omaha and 8,000
two games at Denver. In all, 19,000. Bad
It net reined at Kansas City tbe total
would hare been increased te 25,000. And
these games were played by thqt.Wcstern,
association, a miner league, se called, but
lurcly a geed one te draw within a couple
if thousand as many people te Are gemes
ns the American association did te seven.
One of the causes of this geed attendance
was the closeness of the fight for the pen
nant. The teams appear te be about as evenly
balanced as it is possible te have them.
The a' ru.it consists of Denver, Cole, j Des
Moines, Is,,, Kansas City, Me.; Milwaukee,
Wis.: Minneapolis, Minn.; Omaha, Neb.;
Sioux City, la., and St. Paul, Minn. Here
are eight teams representing flve states,
and net one has wen less than ten games
or mere than twenty at this writing.
By the way, they have queer nicknames
for the western clubs. The Des Moines
team are spoken of as the Hawkcycs; the
Sioux Citys are designated Cern Huskers;
the Minneapolis men are dubbed the Mil
lers; the Milwaukee? are called the Brew
ers; th St. Pauls are rather appropriately
termed the Apostles; they call the Omaha
team the Omahegs, and the Denvers are
styled the Mountaineers. The only team
which has no set name is the Kansas Citys.
One bright young writer has styled them
the het weather players. When they were
in the National league they were called the
Cowboys in the east. Frem my recollec
tions of them at that time and the usual
luck of visiting teams te Kansas City I
suggest te my western brethren, If they
really need a name, te designate them as
the Petrels, for they have a strong resem resem
blauce te these stormy bipeds, inasmuch
as rainy weather has always followed lu
their wake.
The Minneapolis team has Byn, Hengle,
Miller and O'Day for an infield, with Car Car
eoll, Fester and Minnehan for an outfield,
Myers is their best catcher, with Dugdala
te help him out. The pitchers are Hark
ness, Mitchell, Shreve, Duke and Hudsen.
Sema of these men are noted in baseball
circles for instance, Geerge Myers, the
great catcher of the St. Leuis and Indian
apolis teams; Elmer Fester, ence a Giant,
and perhaps as great an outfielder as ever
played in the League; O'Day, of last sea
son's Ixjwells; Hengle, ence nn umpire;
Hudsen, Inte of the Browns, of St. Leuis,
and Shreve, of Indianapolis and Detroit.
Mitchell, I think, is the young man who
had a brief trial with the Phillies. This
team is under the management of Sam
Morten, as shrewd and able a man as the
west has in the miner league baseball busi
ness. These who are strange te easteru
people are all classed as geed men.
There are many geed men en the ether
teams. Among theso whose names are
known everywhere nre Poermau, Dalrym
ple, Shech, Alberts and Krieg, of the Mil
waukecs: Flannlgan, Delan, Fusselback
and McCullar, of Des Moines; Will White,
McGlene, McClellan and Dave Rewo, of
Denver; Burns, Hoever, Stearns, Swnrtzel,
Carpenter, Manning and Elmer Smith, of
Kansas City; Cleveland and Fanning, of
Omaha; Cline and Kappel, of Sioux City.
All of these men arc playing geed ball and
the association apparently possesses some
first class pitching talent. Among the
pitchers little known in the east, who
have flrht class ability, are Thornten, of
Milwaukee; Kennedy, of Denver; Devlin,
of Sioux City; Hart and Semmer, of Des
Moines. It Is noticeable that Fanning, El
mer Smith, Shreve, Mitchell and Suartzel
are keeping up their geed work.
There appears te be only one really weak
spot in the Western association, and thatis
nt St Paul, but some new capital has been
interested nnd It is new expected that the
team will play the season out. Frem all
appearances the association will have the
most prosperous season of its career from
both a playing and financial standpoint, as
the baseball war docs net seem te affect
any cf the cities of Its circuit.
A friend asked me a few days age:
"When both sides are weary of losing
money hew" will the conflict between
League and Brotherhood Iks settled f" This
is a question that is agitating the minds
of a great many people, and none mere se
than the magnates of the two leagues.
Beth are already tired of losing money.
And both arc nearly ready te make a set
tlement. Pride and money will prelnbly
carry them through the season. What
then? Dees anybody knew i Can anybody
nam the result?
Judging from present indications nny
prediction would necessarily peiut te a
compromise of some sort. It is surely
either a case of amalgamation, compromise
or quit. It is a wise man who could new
point out which one it will be. The losses
will 1ms large en both sides. One or two
things, however, seem te be certain. The
Brotherhood will have te quit in Buffalo
and in Brooklyn, and the League in
Pittsburg, if there is a second year
of the war. There is small doubt
ulse that the ball players of '01, '93
and '93 will get smaller salaries than the
players of '69 and '90. The war has proved
that there arc as geed fish In the baseball
tea as ever came out of it, and plenty of
them, tee. Whether there is one league or
two in 1800-1 the weeds will Imj full of ca
pable ball players, and there will be se
many of them that a salary reduction must
necessarily fellow, except in the cases of
men who have long contracts or who nre
stockholders in the clubs for which they
play.
There is only ene course that can be
taken which will at once bring the profes
sional game up again te the netcli of pros
perity it occupied in lSbS-9, and that is an
amalgamation of the two leagues into one
which shall be run under a national ngi ce
ment and under the rules of the National
league. A compromise arrangement, with
a different division of territory, new names
for Players' league clubs and a non-conflicting
schedule may effect the same re
sult, but it would take about four times as
long te bring it about.

GOSSIP OF THE CLUBS.
The Western Association of Amateur
Athletes still maintains its position as an
Independent athletic legislative body for
the west. The Amateur Athletic union,
which controls athletics in the east, has
asked the separate clubs of the western
Association te join it individually, but the
westerners de net seem te be Inclined U
de se and wish the association itself te be
recognized.
The recent change In the constitution of
the New Yerk Athletic club, permitting
fhe election of prominent athletes in place
of pther applicants whose names have been
stanrijng longer en the waiting list, cannot
fail te materially strengthen the club's
athletic department, and the race between
this organization and the Manhattan Ath
letic club for athletic supremacy premises
te develop lxjfere the championship games
In September take place Inte great activity.
The baseball team of the Detroit Athletle
club is as strong in proportion as its field
athletes. Although the club is only about
three years old, it Is a power In athletic
circles of America.
The Athletic park which Is new being
built midway between the cities of St. Paul
and Minneapolis will be opened before
long. The St. Paul Bicycle club is desirous
Ct holding a Joint racing meeting with the
Minneapolis Bicycle club, and it is also
likely that the L. A. W. district champion
ship racV will be held at the park shortly
After itspfWnlng. This district embraces
.Minnesota, Iowa, the two Dakotas, Colo Cole
rado, tybTjMka Mi K VWM. The formal
opening win ee neitt uncter xne auspices et
the twin city bicycle clubs and as there
re etcr 6,000 riders In the vicinity a splen
did pregramme can be given.
Ne better proof that athletic sport U
booming in America can be found than
the fact that se many new tracks are build
ing throughout the country. As it takes
experience te lay a geed track, the supply
of these who are qualified te superintend
such work la greatly exceeded by the de
mand, and the result is that several organi ergani organi
sateons ere watting until they can get com
petent men te lay out their grounds. Cin
der alone as a material for feet racing
tracks is giving way te a mixture of cin
der and clay, with mere clay than cinder.
The firmness of this material In dry weather
compared with cinder mere than offsets
Its disagreeable features in wet weather.
The athlete named little, who recently
visited the Pacific coast and tried te enter
the local championships there, has turned
out te be a full fledged professional. Since
the rejection et his entry he has competed
in several professional events.
PHILADELPHIA'S PET.
Jehn T. rickett, Who Cevers Infield In
the City of Brotherly I-ove.
.Tehn T. Pickett is the young man who
covers a large portion et the infield for the
JOITN T. riCKKTT.
Philadelphia club of the Players' league..
He is also the lively young man that made
things very interesting in baseball circles
during the winter months. It will be re
membered that he signed a three years'
contract with the Philadelphia club at that
time, thereby, it is alleged, jumping 'his
contract with the Kansas City team and
preventing President Speas from Belling
him te the National league.
Fer a while the baseball cranks had
plenty te talk about, and when the Phila
delphia court of common pleas granted an
injunction restraining him from playing
with or selling his services te any club
ether than that of Kansas City they fairly
howled with excitement. Inasmuch as
the Kansas City management had paid St.
Paul $4,000 for Pickett it is net te be won
dered at that they did net want te lese him.
However everything is all right at last
Pickett is playing with the team of his
choice and the Kansas City management
have relinquished all claim te his services.
Pickett is one of the best players in the
country. He is an average batter, his
fielding is pretty, rapid and accurate, and
en bases he has few peers.

at the flame.
Although championships nt field games
have leen given for about fifteen years in
amateur athletic circles, similar titles have
been given for gymnastic performances only
slnce 18J5. The first gymnastic champion
ship meeting was held at Tammany hall,
New Yerk city, under the auspices of the
American Athletic, club. Rebert Stall,
whose picture, is given here, wen the event
known as tbe flying rings en that occasion,
and each year since then he has demon
strated ids superiority In this line. The
ether events en the pregrammes each year
are parallel bars, horizontal bar, club
swinging and repe climbing. These ether
events have been distributed pretty well
among various athletes, but the list of
champions en the Hying rings for the six
)ears shows no ether name than Stell.
He made his debut lu athletics as a mid
dle dlstance runner, and nt a half mlle
from the yunrs
1SS1 te 1&S5 he
ranked third or
tout til best in
America. He Is

arms, chest and shoulders have grown in
size a great deal. Ills chest measurement
new Is y9 Inches, nnd his biceps with arm
bent nre 14 inches. These dimensions are
very large for one of his height nnd weight,
but the strength he has gained by their de
velopment enables him te perform feats en
the flying lings rensistlng entirely of arm
work, which, se far, have net been dupli
cated by nny ether amateur, although tliere
have been many aspirants.
Ills specialties en the ring nre ferwnrd
and back scales, ene arm horizontals,
swinging hand balances, the ctnssnnd very
slew pull and push tips. He net only has
a monopoly te far as ease, nnd grace of
movement is concerned, hut the combina cembina combina
natiens in which he commences en ene feat
and does net drop from the rings until he
has performed three orfeurnlhcr-), making
one movement of the let, is where his chief
supciierlty is noticed, A number of geed
judges who were present last March when
Stell wen the Hying ring championship for
the sixth tlme said that they had never
seen a professional who could equal him In
seme of his combinations. On this occa
sion Stell wen iV,4 points out of n possible
45, and the ether competitors, although
they were high class, seemed almost like
novices alongside of him.
In 1SSS repe climbing was added te the
pregramme, the game consisting of climb
ing a certain length of rope against time.
Stell wen the event, defeating the next
man by two-fifths of a second; but in 18M
nnd 1890 he had te succumb te the quicker
acting muscles of ether men. He thinks
that se much practice in heavy arm ever ever
clse te acquire proficiency en the flying
rings has made his muscles tee slew for
fast repe climbing.
His build Is very suitable for arm work,
for his legs are net heavy, and he therefore
has less weight te support or carry when
en the apparatus. Ile exercises regularly
certain evenings in a gymnasium nnd in
tends te n successful jewelry business dur

Athletic club n year age, nnd hlnce then

He Recently Broke the Keeel
Twenty-Ove-Mlle Read Raee.
The second annual twenty-fi vo-milehani
leap bicycle read race was run recently ever
the Irvlngten Mllbnrn ceurse in Orange, N.
J. The ceurse is a five mile stretch of read
et fine surface but very hilly. There were
nlncty-slx entries, et which sixty-Are came
te the mark, nnd et these fifty-one finished.
Although the winner turned up in W. F.
West, et the Philadelphia Century Wheel
men, the real contest was between W. F.
Murphy, W. Yan Wagener and E. O.An O.An
teony. All three have made big reputations
as read riders, and they hammered at each
ether all through the race. Murphy fin
ished In lh. 8Sm. GOs., beating the previous
record of lh. 30m. made by C. E, Kluge two
years age.
Murphy is the captain et the Kings
County Wheelmen. He was born in Brook
lyn Septcmlwr, 1807, and is S3 years et age,
weighs l.V) pounds and stands G feet 8
inches in height. He is well developed and
a fnlr all round athlete. Murphy com
menced riding tbe blcycle In 1877. He was
one of the reed officers et the famous Cal
umet Cycling club, and when that club
merged into the Kings County Wheelmen
he transferred his interest te the latter or
ganization, and was elected a read officer
w. r. Munrnr.
at the first election. He seen began te show
his grant ability as a long distance rider,
pushing the best reed riders In the country
for the handseme jeweled medal offered by
Charles Sch walbach te the man maki ng the
greatest number of miles during the year,
which he consequently wen, riding during
the year 8, 177K miles. Whlle In competition
for this medal he made 1,700 miles In one

which record remains unbroken. Today
he is ene of the fastest men en the track

But it isiu the mountain districts of
Kentucky the se called "moonshine

engaged iu husband hunting, "net that

GENERAL ATHLETIO NOTE8.
The field sports of Ilatnllne college, et
Minneapolis, brought out a first rain nil
round nthlete named J. S. Edwards, He
wen the standing bread jump with 9 fertO
inches, the running bread jump with 17 feet
0 inches; throwing 18 pound hammer, 05
feet 0 inches; running high jump, 4 feet 10
Indies; standing hop, step nnd jump, 28
feet; running hop, step and jump, 33 feet
0)4 Inches. There w ere cloven ether ovents
en the pregramme. Edwards is a well
built student with plenty et stamina.
Geerge K, dray's recent sweeping change
in the shot putting records proves that ha
Is rapidly growing better at his favorite
game. His pcrformanceot 40 feet with the
111 pound shot siieaks for itself, nnd It is
doubtful It Charles Currie or Jehn D. Mo Me Mo
l'herson, the two best professionals iu
America, can glve him many inches lu any
weight of shot, .
Arthur Keltcr, who wen second place te
Jehn l'urcell lu the pole vault et the Pa
cilia coast championships, is continuing
his prnctlcewith the hopeof clearing 10
feet. His recent performance was 0 feet.
The best Paclfie coast record Is 0 feet 4f
inches, nnd If Kelter Improves lu propor
tion te his form previous te the champion
ship games the murk he has set will net bis
out of his reach.
Theso two great pole vnulters of Eug
land, K. L. Stones nnd Tem Hay, have met
several times recently nnd show by thelr
performances that they nre still very evenly
matched. Hay bus taken en flesh siuca
the championship games last year and new
weighs ever 200 pounds In nthletie clothes.
Btenes still remains nt about 154 pounds.

AMONG THE JUMPERS.
Walter Fnrrant, of Chicago, is doing big
work In the running bread jump and word
Is that no surprise need be shown if hu
pushes the best amateur record of the
world, 23 feet 3 inches.
Geerge W. Powell, of the Missouri Ama
teur Athletic club, of tit. Iuls, has ful
filled the expectations of his club mates by
making a big record at the running high
Jump. 1 1 cleared In a recent competition
5 feet 10 Indies, w hlch Is his lest record.
He still uses the side style iu negotiating
the bar.
That great professional jumper, Jeseph
Darby, of England, has at last ceme forth
uud shown what he can de. Fer the past
year he has been performing nt various
places of amusement throughout Great
Britain. He has had n standing challenge
out te jump any man in the world with or
without weights, and recently he was taken
up by ene named Parker. Buch great in
terest was shown in the match that 20,000
spectators were present. Darby made a
perfect show of his competitor, nml In ene
of the events', standing bread jump with
out weights, he' cleared the rcmiTrkable
distance of 12 (net IK Inches, letting the
best record et the world by 13 Indies. The

New Yerk Athletle club, makes the ninth
American amateur w he has run 100 yards

recent gamesef the Berkeley Athletic club.
Theso two Australian earnnen, Peter
Kemp and M. M'I-cjiii, who lately rowed,
have again been matched. The race will
take place ut Sydney lu July,
, The treatment that William O'Connor,
the Americnu professional earsinnnj has
I received in Australia Is causing scathlug
criticisms by the English press. O'Connor
i seems te be conceded by all te be the
champion sculler of America, yet the
prominent Australian oarsmen, although
they have been met active lately, hae
given sll kind of excuses net te row hltu,
