beaten when the game with Buffalo
was stopped by rain in the sixth inning.
Wllkes-Barre, too, was a victim, at

A base bull gaine between nines 'if
the Scranton and Wllkes-Barre police
men is one of the probabilities of tne
iMiinedhite future. The challenge Is by
Wilkts-Barre und wus received by
Chief Robling, of the Scranton depart
ment, on Monday.
A reply has not been mud to the
chullenge, but it w ill be accepted. Chief
ltobli'ig placed the mutter before Rome
nf the athletic spirits 011 the force and
they have concluded to play. The make
up of the team will be untiounced soon.
POOR VON DER AHE.
Once
Chris Rolled in Wealth.
Hard Luck Made Him a
Morbid Crank.
but
"It makes me sad and sorry," salj lit
tle Jimmy Brannan lust night.to a Chi
cago reporter, "when I see the scores
that come in from St. Louis every night
the almost unvarying record of de
feat and disaster. I can't help sym
pathizing with Chris Von der A he. and I
think that such a turn In luck as his
must have had a great deal to do with
souring his disposition und making him
the disagreeable character that lie now
surely Is.
"Nowadays, from my own experience
with Chris and from what I hear others
tell, Chris must be a terror a hectoring
boss, always looking for a chance to
take back In fines what he pays out In
salaries. He lined Bert Myers $100 the
other day for being sick und taking a
day off; he tines men for striking out.
for dropping tiles und fr any number
of things that can 110 more be helped
in the regular luck of baseball than the
sun can be kept from shining in the
morning.
"I didn't play with the old Browns, of
course the real champions but I have
met nenrly all the members of that fain
ous team, and I should judge that Chris
was a good thing while his men were
winning. Ten years ago Chris and his
heroes owned St. Louis; immense
crowds gathered at the park day after
day; the Browns were cheered on by
the frantic cranks; they played such
ball as has been seen too seldom since,
and they won four flags In succession.
And all this time Chris was joining
money. His brewery was overtaxed to
quench the thirst of the bleachers;
good currency came through the box
otllie and Chris was the best fellow
In the world.
"Now it's different. The old team
has scattered and of all the men who
made the St. IajuIs Browns renowned
only one Is still a player, und that one,
strange to say, a pitcher Silver King.
And poor Chris ha never lieen able to
fill their places. Hundreds of men have
come and gone since then, trying to fill
the pluces of Robinson and I.utliain and
Obmlskey but they couldn't do It. And
as each set of men were tried and pro
nounced fizzles Chris grew more and
more bearlike and unpleasant.
"Don't tell me that Chris was. in the
old days,, such a wolf that his men
wanted to get away from him just as
they do now! Didn't Comlskey and
Boyle go buck to him us fast as they
knew how after the brotherhood war
was over? Well, rather! I can only
say that I found Chris all right If prop
erly handled, but the worst man In
the world for a quick-tempered player
to get along with.
"Yet I'm sorry for him. His fate has
been worse than Anson's, for Uncle has
usually managed to keep his team pret
ty well up In the race, and the press
and public' have never masted him in
the way that Chris Is jumped on In St.
I,oiil.
"I said that the men Chris has tried
since the old Browns left hi 111 have been
fixities. Yet could Chris reassemble the
best men of those he has had and lost
within the past few years, he would
have u team, properly gingered up, that
could make anybody hustle. He would
have Clarkson. Stlvetts. Khret, Dwyer,
Ha v. ley nd King for pitchers; Pelts,
O'Connor and Miller for catchers; Beck
ley and Boyle Beckley was with Chris'
Western league team years ago for
first basemen: Crooks and Qulnn sec
ond; Lyons and Cllngman third; Ely,
short, and Brown, Cooiey, McCarthy,
Brodie, Hoy and myself In the outfield.
"The best of that crowd would come
pretty near taking a flag or two,
couldn't they?"
DAN SHANNON.
Pan Shannon, the fat, good-natured
manager and captain of the Rochester
Brownies with "Billy" Clymer, the fog
horn Idol of the local rooters were en
countered the other afternoon by the
sporting editor of the Buffalo Enquirer
in the grandstand at Olympic Park.
After coiiRratulations had been extend
ed the ex-Bison for his good luck In se
curing such a crack team, Daniel said:
"Of course I feel more than gratified
nt my success as u manager and tne
hoys have helped me out strong. Th
Hisons surely have struck a Jonah in
Rochester at least when they play
down there our men pulling many a
name which was almost a cinch as a
vlcti ry for Rowe's men out of the lire.
In Sunday's game I had seven ex-Buf
falo playvrs and today I will have an
other one for last night I signed Tom
my Dowse, released by Buckanberger
to make a place for Sugdeu whom he
secured from Pittsburg. T think we
have a winning team. At least the
boys will try with all their might to
get tin; rati, ami 1 feel sorry for you
"Hilly," and Shannon thumped Clymer
In the ribs.
In connection with the above Shan
non lias 110 love for the Syracuse team.
Its manager or Its players. He said
thut they were about the roughest gang
he ever struck and for human hogs
there was nothing In the .world tT)eat
them. Said he: "To Illustrate what I
mean by tlielr selfishness 1 will give
you an Instance.
"We were in Scranton and had to go
to Springfield. I believe It was, white
Syracuse was to pluy Providence. I
went to Kuntzsch and asked him to go
In with me and get a sleeper. He said
all right und .we got ten berths apiece.
When It came time to turn In what do
you suppose that gang did? Nothing
else but swipe the wnole of the lower
berths and leave us in the hot top
ones. 1 Immediately hunted up the
Syracuse magnate and gave him a hot
tip that unless there was an Immediate
sneaking out of half of those lower
berths there would be trouble. He
looked wise for a moment and then
went In and made his crowd Jump their
quarters. J 11 the meantime .we were
not shy and before they got through
with us we had six lowers and four
uppers while they had exactly the op
posite. And to rub it In a little harder
1 gently slid into the berth selected for
Kuntzsch and myself and (.ieorgle slept
above me. We puld them back In their
own coin und It will be a long time
before I give them another chance to
try their grab-all tricks."
DIAMOND DUST.
John M. Ward says he wanls Baltimore
to win I lie pennant, if that Is Impossible,
then Buck Kwlng's Clncinnatis.
The Baltimore club took in i20.uu0 in
the lust western trip, and flg.uuv on the
Hist, which will more ihun pay salaries for
this season.
Suys the Rochester Herald: "The crit
ics will be Htirprlsed In leurn that Wey
hlug hus hft-n rcleused. He was paid off
and given un honorable dls.'harge Sutur
duy night. It hus been generally sup
posed since. Callhuli showed up so well
1 hut he, Weyhing und McFarland would
do the work in the box herpafler, but It
appears thut other plans have been made.
The pitching start nuw consists of lie
Farlund. Culllliuii, Herndon and Huston.
'McPartlln has not been signed and prob
ubly will not be. At the time that Shan
non was able to secure him Fasten was
ulso available and Dan decided that the
Springfield twlrler was the better man of
the two. as he probably is. Kaston was
not on the market when Shannon secured
him, but was under suspension by Spring
Held for iinladylike' conduct."

HIS FEAT WILL BE DANGEROUS
Arrangements Made for the Trial Near
Granite City, III., on the Track of
the St. L., C. and St. P. RoadE.
E. Anderson is the Rider--Master
Mechanic Will Manage the Euginc.
St. Louis, July 29. Evan E. Ander
son, the professional cyclist, will either
ride one mile In less than one minute
on Sunday, August 9, or be dashed to
death In the attempt. All the arrange
ments have been made for the trial,
whlrh Is to take place near Granite
City, 111., on the track of the St. Louis.
Chicago and St. Paul railroad. A fast
locomotive In the service of the railroad
will he used as a "pace-maker" for the
reckless cyclist, and the affair will be
the most exciting trial of speed the
world has ever known.
Master Mechanic Klllen, of the St.
Louis, Chicago and St. Paul railroad,
will look after the engine, which has
already been selected. It Is engine No.
7, and was built especially for spe(ed.
No. 7 wus mude by Its builders to go
eighty miles un hour, and has already
been pressed the sixty miles an hour.
The engine and tender together weigh
not less than 80,000 pounds.
WILL DRAW OUT HIS SPEED.
Two ends are to be served in using the
locomotive as a "pacemaker." The first
and most Important Is the protection
from the ulr which the great mass of
steel will give the rider, and the sec
ond Is the superior speed which. It Is
believed, will be drawn out of the bi
cycle. The resistance offered by the air
has always been the obstacle to great
speed in cycling. In order to more per
fectly protect himself from the atmos
phere, young Anderson proposes to
board up the rear of the engine from the
top of the tank to within half an inch
of the rail. The boards will also extend
some distance beyond the rear end of
the.tank, and this, Anderson says, will
give him a complete shield against the
air. That part of the track on which
Anderson Is to ride behind the mighty
"pacemaker" covers two miles neur the
little town of Granite City, about ten
miles from St. Louis. It Is the smooth
est and most Bolid two miles of the
roadbed. Anderson allows himself and
his engine one-half mile of track in
which lo get up speed and another
half mile In which to slow up. The
roadbed between the tracks will be laid
In planking set lengthwise and made
smooth as a billiard table. No better
material for the purpose could be de
vised. The track Is perfectly straight
and perfectly level so that In his terrific
ride the cyclist will not be required to
turn corners, pedul up or down hill, or
swerve an Inch from his straightway
course.
MAY BE DASHED TO PIECES.
That the trial will be dangerous In
the extreme there can be no kind of
doubt. Indeed, there are those who say
thut Anderson's chances of coming out
of it alive are not one In fifty. If the
engine should slacken Its speed the
rider will bump Into It and be crushed.
Should his front wheel strike a pebble
thrown Into the track by the air the
rider will be flung against the side
boarding. Should his strength fail
him and the engine pass on, leaving
him behind, the mighty suction caused
by the Inrush of the atmosphere on
both sides Into the partial vacuum left
by Its passage will toss the rider and
his wheel into the air and kill him be
fore he has a chance to light on the
solid earth.
All these objections to his plans have
been urged on the young daredevil,
but he claims to have provided for
them all. To obviate the rear-end col
lision he has devised a board to act
as a fender. The boards built up about
the sides of the engine will prevent
pebbles from being thrown on the
track, and Anderson has sutilcieiit faith
in his heart, lungs and nerves to be
lieve that he will be enabled to main
tain the pace set by the engine, and
thus save hlmaelf from being killed by
the air suction that would whirl him
about as a feather In case he should
fall behind.
AnJrrson will make several practice
rides with his engine In front. The
first will be run In about 2.20. Then ho
will grnduute the time until he fol
low J the locomotive over a mile of the
track ii. one minute and twenty-five.
seconds, and then will come tne su
preme trial.
The gear .vlll probably be 110 inches.
With the air resistance overcome this
enormous gtar will be as easy to push
along as a seventy-two Inch gear un
der ordinary conditions.
QUEER TURFCHARACTER.
Father Bill and his erratic runners
are a perpetual puzzle to the talent,
tlielr Inconsistent, In-and-out perform
ance proving a source of muny les
to both the layers and the players, yet
the sage of Hartford Is not by any
means without his friends and defend
ers In the present case. Some of the
very best Judges of race horses and
racing maintain that Volley's apparent
reversal of form at the Aqueduct track
may be uccounted for (Without uny In
terference whatever that Father Bill
fed and watered the bay gelding be
fore the race of July 23. They point
to the difference In the class of horses
in the two races, the difference In time,
and the superiority of Doggert over
Keefe, as explaining the defeat of
Thursday and the easy victory of tin
following day.
it was on Thursday, that Volley ran
In the second race at Aqueduct und
was disgracefully beutcii by Sir Fran
cis, Charade and Chugnut. finishing an
extremely bud last In u field of four.
The horse was ridden by Keefe and was
heavily backed, particularly for the
pluce. The running occasioned so much
adverse comment that Daly wus or
dered on Friday lo take down his reg

This Is the third time Daly has had
trouble with racing officials. Ten years

cause of the Irregulur performances of
Jim McOowau. a sleenl-chuse hor. e.

gust, 1893. when a mare of his called
Lizzie aided so peculiarly at Brighton
Beach tl.at Daly was asked to retire
from the turf. He wus ugaln 1 elu
triated the following winter. Muny
members of the Jockey club have ex
plained since then I but Duly got hui k
by un accident.
A queer old character Is Father 111
Paly. A lantern-jawed, wooden-legged
old schemer with a keen native wit and
a shrewdness that has saved him from
official wrath on Innumerable occasions.
He came down from Hartford, Conn..
20 years ago, as one of his enemies once
said with a bad leg and a bad horse,
and he is now worth 3500.000. Among
his other possessions are a farm near
Hartford and a big hotel in New York
city.
Father Bill has had to bear Innum
erable anecdotes, because If they were
not true they were characteristic and
ought to have been true. Turfmen tell
how. In the old days, he used to make
his own wooden legs and carry in a
compartment inside of them a tin oil
can. When the home-made hinges
creaked old Bill, wherever he was,
would "oil up." It Is said that he once
bet a western turfman that he could
keep his leg in a bucket of hut water
longer than the stranger. The wager
was accepted. After they had kept
their legs in boiling water for a con
siderable time Daly became Impatient.
"I say, sonny," he culled out, "you
had Just ns well give up; my leg Is
made of wood."
"All light." cried the westerner,
cheerfu!ly,"so is mine." The two wooden-legged
men shook hands und called
the bet off.
James McLaughlin. "Snapper" Harri
son, the Lambley boys and other well
known Jockeys received their turf edu
cation from Daly. Indeed, his jockeys
have made him more money than his
horses. A year ago his wife obtained
a divorce from hlm.nnd he married Miss
Kllen O'Mahoiiey, of Brooklyn. He wus
discussing his man-luge ventures with
an acquaintance at Washington lust
spring. "I hud to give my tlrst wife
$15,000 ulimony," said he; "my second
brings me a fortune or $30,000; 1 um just
$15,000 ahead of the game."
Daly's recent methods have aroused
such bitter criticism that he may have
a little more trouble this time to get
back into the fold than he has yet had;
but those who know him have un abid
ing faith in his ability to weulher the
storm
POOR NEW YORK GIANTS.
The Nrw York Recorder makes these
shots at the Giants:
Eight hits to rour arid still lost. Toimli
on Sullivan.
Will the Pirutes do the same today? Of
course they !
Blame it all on Artie Irwin. Don't say a
word about the boss.
The chutes at Coney Island would be too
alow Tor the ex-Giants.
Fire the whole crowd, Freedman and all,
and bring on the Kankakee nine.
The "press agent" joined the team In
Cliii'lnnutl. Have you noticed the differ
ence? Five straight dereuts, und the manage
ment still chasing alter more minor league
talent. Murder!
That stereotyped report, "We have
spent more money trying to give the pub
lic a winning team lliun uny other club
In the league," will soon be III order.
If ett. Louis and Louisville will continue
pluylng at their present go-as-you-please
gait, we are sure of tenth place.
If the Beaneaters continue sliding they
are liable to bunk up against the New
Yorks. Then what will happen?
There Is one club that still belli-ves an
outfielder Is an Inlielder und an mtlelder
an oulllelder the New York club.
There areb etter days ahead for the
Quakers. They play three games with the
New Yorks ut Philadelphia next week.
Another catcher has 'been signed. The
newcomer is Jack Warner, late of the
Louisville club. Warner is u New York
boy.
Washington refused to linger longer, and
yesterday moved so fur aheud that ninth
pluce Is now ubout us rar distant us the
pennant.
If the New Yorks full to win any more
games this week they will surely break
the Ice on Monday, when they play the
Orange A. C. nine.
Any club from the back woods having a
few "gold bricks" In the slme or players
for sule cun probably dispose ofj them ut
the Polo grounds alter next week.
AMONG THE PUQS.
Casper Leon and Charley Kelly are
thinking or taking a trip to Europe in the
fall.
There is a revival or the talk about a
match between Dan Creedon and Joe
Choynskl.'
Jim Hall and O'Donnell have been
matched to box six rounds next muntli
In New York.
Bob Fltzslmmons und Peter Jackson are
starring in Wales, and, according to the
London Sporting Lire they are doing fam
ously. Frank Craig, the Harlem Coffee Cooler,
has written to u friend In New York thut
It is his Intention of making a visit to
that city next fall.
Tommy Ryan Is of the opinion that he
would have an excellent chance of de
feating Young Grirto, and wants a mutch
with the clever Australian. New York
Sun.
Edward McCube, ir New York, and one
giving the nume of William Fisher, of
Syracuse, fought two rounds Just south of
Long Branch Sunday. McCube was
knocked out.
Billy Smith, the middleweight boxer of
Texus, who is in Boston ut present, and
Pat Keidy, of Washington, have signed
articles to lliiht to a linisli at 154 pounds
for u purse of I3U0 the latter part of this
month.
After Sept. 1. when the llortor bill goes
Into effect, fighting Is likely to look up In
Syracuse. Any Incorporated dub urter
that date call pull off exhibitions with the
assurace that there will be no police in
terfereiice. Dick Cook writes the Empire Athletic
club offering to match Toiiklne against
Young lirilTo for a reasonable purse. The
men arc willing to fight, but probably
will not In Syracuse. McKeever anil Ev
erhardt would also be glad to get a match
on in Syracuse.
