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.

A FAMOUS MARKSMAN.
Otwald Tea teagark and Bla Wonder

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,

attractions nt tliu big meet of the Kings

have had something te de witli their ab

The Amateur Swimming association of
England lias decided that in future all
competitors in championship rates must

The defeat of William O'Connor for the

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. When he wen the recent
220 y.ud championship run Frederick
Westing, of the Manhattan Athletic club,
who hud just previously run the 100 yurd

Lee came en just as steady as though he

New YertK, nly 10. The graceful
tea gown h3 net been left out of the
list of "innst hnvra'1 fur the season, ami
every woman tries te fellow Polentns'
advice te let It be ns costly ns her purse
can buy. One tea gown that is te grace
the very swellcst ten tnble In the swell
est cot t age at Newport has a front of
orange crepe.nnd the pulled nnd wrinkled
sleeves are of that same gorgeous color.
The outslde Is made of black surah, with
bands of passemonterie of jet Bnd amber
combined. The surah is nuyle with a
Watteau train in the back and hangs
loosely In front while shaped at the sides.
Altogether this is ene of the most strik
ing ten gowns of the reason, and some
how I can't tell hew exactly it has n
sort of tragic air. The lady this "dream"
belongs te is n pronounced brunette,
I can imngine this made in black and
pink or blue, or in dark blue nnd cream,
dark green and white, and each new
TOR 0,ME WKAtl.
combination of color would be just as
pretty, if net qui te se daring. Nearly all
costumes nowadays belong te two classes.
They nre either daring or exceedingly
simple.
A very dainty dress of this style is
made of wash silk, in stripes of gray,
green and pale pink. The corsnge. is
mndoquile plain as te trimming, them
lieing no attempt at any kind except
such as is afforded by draping the fabric
ever the bust. 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.
Frem the quantity here displayed I have
no doubt that thcre will be n fashion te
wear the dresses distended en the hips
instead of in the back, ns they were a
year age. And I saw, tee, a large in
voice of small hoop skirts. Thcre is
never, or hardly ever, n supply without a
demand.
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. Some very pretty gowns for young
girls nre made of white Swiss, with
large polka dots, ever n colored slip,
with ribbons te mutch. Lace, or just
plain white mull, leeks pretty uiadu in
this way. The pretty dress in the illus
tration above is of gray cryntnlutte, with
a figured bordering and a fall of oriental
lace around the neck. The bolder is
pestiche, as there is no woven bordering
tocrystaletto. Such a style ia suitable
for a young girl from 1 1 te 20.
The ether day I noticed a very pretty
little fancy which hnd really n splendid
effect. A plain white summer scrge
dress had the skirt cut iierfectly simple,
and the waist wuh trimmed witli bands
of seal brown velvet, with ribbons te
match. The lady had an old leso surah
sacque made, thu back and sides extend-

ing te the bottom, but net sewn together.
The front of the sacqne was filled in with
lnce and bows of ribbon, nnd the wide
sleeves had deep rallies of lace. When
she wanted te be dressed for a high ten
she slipped off the snug corsnge and
denned the dainty nacque, nnd wns just
tee lovely for anything, ene skiit serv
ing for both cersngc-H, which, however,
is of the same doubtful economy ns that
which tiiadii the little girl we a saving
in only having ene blice of bread for
both butter and honey.

San Fkancisce, July .I. This is miji miji
pesed te be our bummer beasen, and one
has a right te expect warm weather in u
beini-trepic in the buiimier.
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.

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.

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.
