I. Harris Tells of Seme Magnates of the Diamond. CHRIS VON DER AHE OF ST. LOUIS. Be Rat Made Barrels of Meney and Hme'I Stepiied Yet De Haven Kobl Kebl oa. CleTeland'e Darting Cemlekey Wm, Stent, of Cincinnati. Chris Ven der Ahe, the president of the Et. Leuis club of the American association, has been one of the luckiest men ever con nected with professional baseball. Ever luce he entered the game in 1831 he has cut an Important figure and his team has wen four championships. In St. Leuis it It a standing saying that anything Ven der Abe touches turns te geld. He has been especially lucky In his baseball transac tions. In the winter of 1890 a let of sports men Interested In wing sheeting called upon him and asked him te help form an association te be known as the Sportsman's Park and Club association. It was under stood that this association was for baseball and sheeting purposes, the gun men being mere Interested than the baseball men The understanding was that weekly sheets were te be held under the auspices of the St. Leuis Guu club, and an attempt was made te carry out this pregramme. But the first sheet had hardly taken place when, as a result of remenstrances by citizens, the sheets were prohibited by the local authorities. Then it was that the gun men seldjtlieir Interest te Ven der Ahe. Tim first your of this St. Leuis nine in the American association was a wonder fully lucky one. The Sunday games drew Imtncnsocrendi, and for the first time be fore oi8luce then the summer went by without n single wet Sunday. The Drewn notwithstanding the fact thnttlicy phiyed miserable ball and finished in sixth place, drew gicat ciewiR and Ven der Alie cleared no less than $78,000. The thrce suc ceeding ears were nearly ni lucky. Be fore entering the baseball business Ven dcr Ahe was comparatively well off, but the bulk of Ills fortune has been amassed through his Immediate connec tion with the national game. HI original Investment was im. Out of that sum he has cleared upward of s?3,-0,000. He new practically owns the St. Leuis club. In fact he is the club, and his fellow direct ors are simply figure heads. Ven dcr Alie Is a quaint, charecter. He Is shrewd, cunning and pugnacious, and new that he has lest the sendees of Com Cem iskcy and Malison has shown that inspite of the general belief te the contrary he had much te de with the success of his club. With peer material te start with, and no prospect of getting nny star, Ven der Alie has net only made his fledgelings play geed b.ill, but has finally get together almost ns geed a team as any In the asso ciation. Chris, as he Is known familiarly by newspaper men, is n martinet, en disci pline te nn extent that makes hlmuorl hlmuerl table tyrant. His methods me diive, drive, drive, and keep en driving. Still he is nlwaj-s ready te reward a deserving player, and this fact will pielubly Iks cor cer cor reliorated by even Ceiniskcy, who used te say time and again that he would close his career en the bnseb ill field us n member of the St. Leuis club. Mr. Ven der Alie has figured mere con cen con spicueusly in the public prints than most magnates first, because he isulwny.s ready te entertain and talk with newspaper men; second, when he does he nearly alwajs gets into a muddle with some of his fellow magnates; and third, bo be bo cnuse his peculiarities of manner and language) maku lilui n most interest ing personality, and provide a fund of ma terial for healthy Imaginations unsur passed by nny ether m.iu In the business. Chris is ery suspicious, and is always looking for some one te try and get the best of him, and never fails te impart his suspicions In the quaintest of English te the first scribe w he comes along. After all, Ven der Ahe is a generous man with de serving players, and has iimuy geed tialts in his character. The first Brown Stocking nine, under the ufunugement of Ven der Ahe, was cap tained by Comiskey The latter chub from Dubuque, la. in 1SSI. He had cov cev evcrcil first li.rsu HJr the nine of that city, which included such famous players ns tiie Gleasons, Riulbourne, Billy Tayler, Leftus, Tem Sullivan, Heis and ethers. Comis key commenced his ki.seli.ill career in Chi cago as a member of the Liberty nine in 1871. He pitched for the Liberty, and under the old rules was quite n twirler. When he went te St. Leuis he found t lint Oscar Walker, of the old Brooklyn Atlan tics, had been signed te cover flist b.ise for the Browns, but nt Walker's own sugges tion Comiskey was placed nt the initial bag, and he ceercd the point se well that he was retained, while Walker was given a permanent place in center field. When Comiskey first went te St. Leuis his salary was 575 u mouth, but his wet k was se geed that Ven dcr Alie raised his salary nt the close, of his first month's en gagementnnd befeie the season closed he was receiving a salary of 150. This was regularly incieased until lSiO, when Ven der Alie sajs Comiskey had 5,000. This year he is captain of the Chicago Playeis' league m His salary is said te be 0,500. Comity had great success with the St. Leuis Brown, and is generally considered asoueof tiie greatest of captains. As a ball player and liaudleref young men lie has been as successful us uny ether man in the business. Ansen and Hurry Wi Ight are his only rivals in this lespect. What he can de with seasoned ctcran players who will net be driven remains, te be seen. One of the most ngrecable of men, and one little known te the public, is Frank De Haven Itoblsen, the youngest of all the baseball magnates ns well as ene of the richest. He is about 35 years of age, and the general verdict in Cleveland, where ha resides, is that he is an nil round geed fel low aniLa successful business man. Mr. Itoblsen owns one-fifth of the stock cf the Cleveland National Lcngue club and is president of the organization. In his privnte business he is president of the Su perior stieet, St. Clair street and I'ayne Avenue, street railroad lines, president of the New Cleveland Cable lteml company, nt present engaged in laying c.tble and lines en each of the above three. In addi tion te that lie is n member of the firm of Hnthnway & Ilobisen, street railroad con tractors. Mr. Hnblsen is a pepulnr man in Cleve land nnd has been a progicssive manager. He has always been liberal ami fair with his players, and when the Players' league started thq men were mostly very berry te leave him, and three or four of them absolutely refused te go when it enme te a point. The personal popularity of Mr. Itoblsen lias bcen sulllcient te give his club nearly n halfBhare in the Cleveland baseball patrouage. One of the most nblu and shrewd men in baseball today is Aaren S Stern, tlm pres ident of the Cincinnati club. He li is well been called "the little giant." His intro duction ns n magnate was a novel experi ence. While sitting In his elllce in the spring of '6.2 for Mr. Stern is about forty years old and is ene of Cincinnati's cloth ing princes he was asked te buy 1300 worth of Kill stock. He had then seen but few games in his life, and net knowing what it was he thought hu would take chnnces en n "flyer" of that sort and he cinbirkcd in the business. Thirty days afterward he was president of the Cincinnati club. He held the helm until 1SS5, when he Held out te the Messrs. Hcrnnceurt. Jehn Heuck bought the ilub in 18Sd. In 18S7 Mr. Stern onto mere Iw carne the owner of the Cincinnati club and holds it today. Mr. Stern is a man who is very popular with his associates. He lias wealth enough te care very little whether his club makes money ornet. It is said of him that with ene or two Isolated exceptions he has never fined a player during his connection with the club, nnd he is generally considered ns being a lilieral and progressive man. In 16S0 Mr. Stem resigned from the American association nnd took his club Inte the N'utienal league, where the team has iriveu an account of itself that hus us- tenttMd the enttea ml tfce MMbmtl fiends of Cincinnati wild with enthwtaats. The meat substantial proof of thU was an attendance aggregating tterly 15,060 at the Fourth of July ge. which I understand take the record for Cincinnati. W. I. HARRIS. A FAMOUS MARKSMAN. Otwald Tea teagark and Bla Wonder ful Werk with a One. Otwald Ten Lengerke Is one of the fa mous brothers of the sheeting family of that name. There are six of them, sara The Sporting Critic Fred, Justus, Her. OSWALD VON LENGEUKE. man, Oswald, Geerge and Karl. With the exception of Geerge all are excellent shots. Geerge's tastes are for athletics. As the ethers are masters in their choice of pastimes, se Geerge Is master of his. He is an athlete all through nnd all ever. Oswald, the fourth, is some 5 ft. 7 In. In height, is bread shouldered, and within the last few j ears has become stout, weigh ing seme 100 pounds. The cxcrclse he takes makes his flesh as hard its Iren. At the traps his position is n sound one. He throws the left feet forward, bending nt the knee considerably. The tight feet is thrown backward, bearing but little weight. Hlsgaze becomes fixed when he is nt the score. As he says ''pull" the jaws come together with a snap, the teeth close like a vise, and it is ten te one when the shot. Is made that it is a successful one. He Is geed nt cither inanlmate targets or live birds. Hie bestscore at the former is 07 out of 100, sheeting at 80 single nnd 10 pairs; nt the latter 33 killed out of 35 shot nt. This was In n match with Charles Heath, of Newark, for $300 a side, sheeting Heath out en the thirty-fifth bird. He has also killed as many English snlpe en the Hackensnck nnd Newark meadows In New Jersey as auy man of his age living. Were it net for the cares of a busy life he would seldom be seen without n gun in his hand. It Is net n hobby with him; it is nn absorbing passion. His favorite weapon Is a haramcrless breechloader, &)i pounds In weight, 25 inches in length of barrel, 13 gauge. Os wald is a firm believer in the light gun, especially for field work. A Itnpl.l Stallion. Brown Is n 0-ycar-eld stallion through whose veins flews the bleed of famous mares which arc among the foremost ma trons of the most popular breed mure fam ilies. This fine horse, is a hnndsotne, well balanced, symmetrical animal. In 1880, ns a 3-yenr-eld, he trotted en a half drown. mile trnckte n record of 2.34, and wen every race In which lie started. As n 3-year-old he did net appear in public, but showed n mile in 9.3l at a private trial. As n4-ycar-eld he trotted in a race at Cleveland, O., making a record of 2:1SJL, which at that tirue was tliu fastest 4-year-old stallion record. He started again later en and trotted a iHfltrin 2.21, but was beaten in the race, as he went luine. He was then put in the stud at Hickory Greve fnrm. GENERAL ATHLETIC GOSSIP. The arrival In the United States of the famous Scetcli runner, Peter Cannen, bids fair te crcate activity in professional long distance running circles. He is known te be able te defeat any American above two miles, mid the probabilities are that he will Im called upon te give large odds should he propeso auy match. He has come ever mostly te take part in the dlstance races of the Caledonian games throughout the Stales. Thcre is talk of a match at the standing hop, step and jump, without weights, be tween It. K. Prltchurd and J. W Rich, both of the Manhattan Athletic club. These two cracks athletes met at this event at the games at Frcepert en July 4, nnd Rich wen with '."J ft. 11 In., beating the best amateur record by 1 inches and defeating Pritchnrd by 2K inches. Pritchard had never jumped he far, and the form he dis played surprised himself as much as ethers. He says with mere practice he should de clese te 31 feet, but Rich does net think se and Is willing te go him. After the Free Free pert games the friends of both men talked of a match, and the probabilities are that within a few weeks they will meet for a special prize. Geerge W. Rowden, who has been twice amateur champion of England for the running high jump nnd who holds the record of 6 feet, was beaten recently in the Civil Service games by T. Jennings, of Cambridge university, who cleared 5 ft, 11 In. Rowden could negotiate only 5 ft. 0M in. The contest wns exciting, for Row Row eon had net appeared for many months, nnd the event had been looked forward te. Rowden Is 5 ft. I) in. tnll and weighs M5 pounds. Jennings is 0 feet in height and weighs about the same as Rowden. The recent Scottish gathering and nth Ictlc sports nt Stamford Bridge grounds, loudeu, England, where a full pregramme of Scotch games was given, attracted mere people than ever before in the history of this annual event. Although athletic games are old in England, they are still growing. Nothing can demonstrate Willie Win die's superiority en the wheel better than the fact of his having a walkover at the re cent eastern states championship two mlle blcjcle race held en Stntcn Island. Thcre were hulf dozen ether geed contestants, hut net ene put in an appearance.

Lee, of the New Yerk Athlrtle club, whose picture Is given here, has de veloped this spring from n sprinter who was looked upon ns simply being very geed into a genuine champion. He wen this tltloatthe recent games en Staten Island for the decision of the eastern states cham pionship, and en thlsoccalen he wen the 220 yard run and finished cccend in the 100 yard run. He Is 20 years' old, f ft. 8 in. tall, nnd weighs 1.Y3 pounds in ath letic clothes. His complexion Is rather dark, nnd se much exposure In the sun re cently while training has burned him te almost nn African hue. He has been in the very pink of condition for several months, aud judging by his performances his accumulation of energy necessary for big athletic work has been cry steady He joined the New Yeik Athletic club several years age, nnd immediately com menced te repre sent the Mercury feet in various athletic competi tions In the iclnl ty of New Yerk city. After n sea son's campaign lie had shown first class work nt sprint running nnd high and bread jumping, nnd in the fall of the year 1SXI he was considered geed enough te send en the N. Y. A. C. team te the Canadian champi onships, where he competed in sev eral events, taking third In the 230 THOMAS I. LtK. yard run, and fntuth in the running high jump nnd running bread Jump. He hnd the best men In the country against him, and he did geed performances in nil three events. The following week, at the fall games of his club at Trnvcrs Island, he met the winner of the 220 yard championship run, A. W. S. Cochrane, nnd ran n dead heat with him in 23 2-ft seconds. The rnce included a sharp turn en the track and the time Is geed. On tossing for the event Lee wen. During the winter he ran nt numerous games held in nrmerics, figuring in nearly each instance as scratch man In runs from forty te seventy-flve yards. He was very successful and wen many medals. Ills sudden jump into fame, although a sur prise te the large majority of athletes, was net unloekcd for by tlio-e whifknew what n persistent trainer he is. Hohusmndea enccialty in staits, and although through the winter hu used a stjle of Betting which most athletes de, since beginning work out of doers this season he has practiced the steeping style, w here both hands touch the ground, nnd se expeit has lie becorue that ut the eastern championship games in nil of the heats of his races he was tha first te "get into Ids i unnliig." This style of starting was used by C. II, Slierrill, the great intercollegiate sprinter, successfully, but he abandoned it for the regular way. Lee's expert ness nt it has caused many te favor it again. After lee is under way he displays n long, free stride, with also rather a high knee action. The latter has probably been caused by his practicing getting under wny se much, for at the first part of n sprint race the knees aie elevated higher than when under full headway. Net only has Lee's speed improved lately, but his strength, enabling him te finish out i hard race and also te stand tliu strain of many heats, has struck terror into tliu hearts of his competitors.

Ne young pitcher ever entered the ranks of the National league and installed him self ana public faoritennd phenomenally successful pl.ijer iu se short a time as has William P. Rliines, of the Cincinnati club. He was taken from comparative obscurity before tliu Association season closed last fall. In the Interstate lciguu of the west he had been t lie mainstay of the Davou Daveu Davou pert club, of Iowa. Prebabiy no busubull magnate in the country watches tliu lecerds of the players In the miner leagues moie closely than A. S. Stern, the little president of thoCincin theCincin natis. He hed eyed the battery of Rhines nnd Harrington for some time, nnd when Davenport gae up the ghost he dispatched Ted Sullhan te the scene of the collapse with orders te laud that battery in St. Iselds dead or alive. It was there that the new famous due signed contracts with the Cincinnati club, In the past mere "pheuems" have been ex ploded in Cincinnati than have, proved wonders. But Rliines wns put in, in nil sorts of weather, and lie absolutely refused te explode. With scarcely an eflert Rhlnes forged right te the front and iu n few weeks wen for himself a title of the Reds' winning pitcher. Earned runs nil Rhinot are novelties. Indeed basu hits li.ive net lieen very common while he was in the box and in only ene game has the opposition been nbie te "push its safe drives into double figures Rhines is just of age. He was born In Ridgcwny, P.i , en the Htli of March, 1SW. It was in the Mountain lengue In '87 that young Rliines gained his first experience en the diamond. Hu was W1II.IAM V MUSES, then with Ids home club the Rldgewnys. Hu wen thirteen of the fourteen games he pitched and averaged ten strike outs te a game. The Binghamteu club In the Central league heard of the Koj stone boy's work and secured him In '&s. HU record there was se geed that Manager Pat Powers, new of the Rechcstcrs, laid JS0O In cold cash before the eyes of the Blnghamten manager and carried Billy and his release te Jersey City, where he finished the sea son. That was the )ear that the Jersey Cityscame within ene game of taking the pennant. This was before the Ume of reservation in the miner leauues. A hitch s9.

He Is it flne specimen of physi cal manhood, and of strictly temperat habits. One of his hobbies is the gun, nnd he is as geed n marksman with the rlfle ns he is a pitcher with the ball. Whatever Cincinnati's rank In the League race today, It ewes much te the pluck of this young Trojan, who proved an Invaluable aid te Manager Leftus when .every ene of the ether pitchers was out of form and In the hospital.

His first professional engagement was in 1885, with the Richmond club, of Richmond, Ind. He made n very brilliant record with the club that season. In 1680 he played W. n.

He licgnn the season of 18SA with the New Orleans club nnd finished it with the Washington .club, of the Natlennl league, lie leek part In forty-flve championship games with the former and forty-nine with the latter. While with the New Orleans club that season he played sixteen games nt second hase and twenty-nine as short step. He headed the official Hit in the former position mid ranked second In the latter. He also had n batting average nt .2.VI. He did Kome very clever work while with tliu Washington club, nnd at the end of the season his release was purchased by President Ven der Ahe, of the St. Leuis club, of the American Association. In 16tt) he filled the position of shortstop in no fewer than 140 championship games with the St. Ijeuis club, nnd headed the official list for that position, leading such noted short steps ns Geerge Smith, of the Broeklyns; Bennl, of the Citicinnatls; long, of the Kansas Cltys; Fcnnclly, of the Ath letics, and ethers.

The alcoves are pro nounced leg e' mutton, nnd the skirt la qui te plain, the back breadths being shirred closely into a space of four inches. I noticed today in nn importing heuse case upon case of little aflaiis which nt first I could net imagiue the use of, but en inquiry I found them te be tmnnters or false hips. They nre mnde of cloth and whalebone, and are semewhut the shape of a sugar scoop without the handle.

Gowns for full dress for young ladies are new all cut in the ingenue style- square in the neck, with a ruflle of lnce or muslin nil around. The fashion is be- .Lcemlng and pretty. With this manner of dressing the hair is cut short nil around the face, nnd combed down straight and slightly curled at the ends. In the back it is fastened in a Cntegnii braid, and tied with a ribbon te match the color of the dieg's or in sharp con trast.

But it is net unusual te son men rigged out in straw hats, overcoats, white vests and buttonhole lxmquetH, ami pretending that they are net cold. But the fact is that while we de net liave snow or ice in the summer here, jet when thu sea breezes blew from the light quarter it ia uncomfortably roel in early morning. I heard a conversation the ether morning en ene of the forrybeatH, and it ueum te lit thocuseadmirnbly. One man saluted another who was shivering in the stiff breeze and asked where his overcoat was. The second party replied that he would net burden himself with ait overcoat iu a tropical climatu in the bummer. lie preferred te practice the faith euro doc trine and ituagine that he wa warm enough. Thu cold resisting tmwerH of different men furnish an interesting htudy here. One man you meet is buttoned up te his chin in a winter coat, and tle next one will be clad iu a thin, liglit suit and straw lint. Aud yj-t they nie each ox ex nosed te the tame eutwaid t cinuerature. A. ZL Jin w habit no doubt having much te de with the matter. As a result of n few shop ping expeditions the fact is demonstrat ed that but little summer underwear finds buyers in this city. Heavy or me dium weight woolen garments nre Jn nctive demand tliu year round. And when ene becomes accustomed te it this is really nu economical place iu the mat ter of clothing. One snit at a time, nnd no change ns te weight, is all that is re quired. But te eastern folks contem plating a trip te California let me advise that you put into your trunk both wool ens and overcoats, for you will need them here nil the time. W. G. BKjrre.v. D. DONAHUE. An Amateur Who Has Dene Remarkable Werk with the SculU. D. Donahue, thewell known amateur earsmnn,wns liern at Hamilton, Ont.,Dcc 14, 1803, se that he Is new In his twenty fifth year, according te The New Yerk Clip per. He stands S ft. 10 In. In height, and his weight In condition is 105 pounds. The first contest of note In which he engaged was the junior single scull race nt the ro re gatta of the National Association of Ama teur Oarsmen of America, held nt Chau tauqua 1ake, N. Y., July 20, 27, lt97. He easily defeated Lnvell nnd ethers, rowing the mlle nnd n half straightaway in 10m. SSJiV The following yenr Donahue was again n participant, in tiie regatta of the National association, then held at Sun bury, Pa. Donnhue defeated J. J. Ryan and ether geed ones In his trial heat. He was a member of the wiunlng four eared crew at D. PONA1IUK. the regntfji of the Canadian association the snme year, helping te defeat the To Te rout os nnd Den Amateurs, both strong crewi. His latest victories were achieved at the regattas of the Natieunl nnd Missis sippi Valley Ren lug associations, held at Lake Calumet, Pullman, Ills., Aug. 8, 0, 1689. At each regatta he wen the senior singles Iu Din. 42s. nnd 10m. 4Bh. lespect Ivcly. Subsequently he wen the senior sculls at the regatta of the Canadian asso ciation at Hamilton Bench, Out., Aug. 21. On the snme dnte he was stroke of the four enri'd shell crew who defeated the Terente and Ottawa clubs, his brother pulling the bow sweep. Donnhue is n mcmlier of the Nautilus Beat club, of Hamilton. OUT OF DOOn GAMES. u In many Inrge cities of the United States where property is se valuable it hits been noticed that spaces en privnte lawns and building leU adjoining residences have been converted into tennis courts, and im promptu clubs of about n dozen members have been formed, which In time, owing te being se favorably placed concerning grounds, have grown Inte geed sized or ganizations. Many people are deterred from playing the game en account of most grounds lieing se far awny, and clillis hav ing courts easy of access generally have a steady and healthful growth. It would seem as though divided skirts for ladlea who wish te play lawn tennis, ride a bicycle or ahorseas well ns a man could net be Improved upon, although nt present they nre se rare that they cannot be bought ready made, Many tailors who make dresses for Indies say that they am receiving orders for bifurcation every week, mid that In time they will be thought nothing of. Thcre is no doubt that ladles would Indulge In athletic games of teller if exercise were made easy for them. The Montreal Caledonian society's games which will take place en Aug. 10 will have events which should attract thu liest pro fessional runners, Jumpers and weight llireweis iu thu vicinity. Many from quite, a distance away have signified their Inten tion of lieing present. Thu game of lawn tennis is spreading se fast through America and Canada that the former prejudice against it by average mankind that it was a game for weaklings has almost entirely gene. There nre many mere tennis chilis In the United States than athletic clubs, although there is mere capital invested In the latter. Tenuis be ing a game that nearly all can indulge in, young or old, cannot fall te be generally understood, and such Is net the ci-.J with athletic feats requiring mere strength or activity. Lawn tennis In Kuglaud has for intuy years been en nu established footing. A IVell Kmxrii Htitrler. A face well known te most devotees of the eastern rare courses is that of Starter J. F. Caldwell. Mr. Caldwell is nlxmt DO years of age and began his career as a starter at Brighten Beach, L. I. He Is a king in his position, mid a very hard enu te fill it is, tee. It is no cesy Jeb for a jockey te control a spirited horse, and yet the starter is obliged te control both rlder and steed, which Mr. Cnldwell does with almost uniform success, lle was ueer J, r. CALDWELL. mere successful with ids' starts than he It just new. Thcre are no dulnj s nt the pest and no peer starts. He was ut first n trlfle uneasy ever the prospect of starting horses the reverse way of the track at the new Monmouth park, but Is new serene nnd calm, having decided te de an Lord Mnrcua Iierc-sferd used todent Manchester; that Is, he stands en the outside of the track In rtcud of en the inside, ni lias always liecn Ids practice. This places him mill his Held in the same relath u positions as they have occupied toward each ether hitherto. Nuvuu lli'viiinlni; (lmilli.mt.ii. Mr. J.

His word is always 5. rusted, net only by the missionaries, but blse by traders and hunters, who are mUtrusttul of everything accomplished by iiiUsiens. He is nincere, courageous and manly; nnd if all CnfTre chieftains were like him Caffrelaud would have a very different leek from its present one. Christian at Werk. HP I XyiFr'Y'8 I'UHBMAI.T.
