GOOD BASE BALL ARMS. " suppopa thnt two of the sturdiest and most consistent arms nature ever annexed to a man are dangling by tho ."itles of Tony Mullnnc and Jim Mc Oulro," observed Karl Wagner. "This Is Tony's seventeenth year as a pro fessional pitcher, nnd he has seen as much, pei haps more, beivice than any 1 Itchnr in the history of the' game by reason of the length of time he has served. But his wing Is as fresh and perfect today as when he pitched Ills llrst professional game. Tony was en dowed liy natuio with the constitu tion of a horse, nnd had It not been for his inclination to start his wheel house o buzzing whenever lie loses his temper, he would probably be pitching ball in fust company today. Tony's temper w.is seen at its boiling point, about 130 degrees tobacco or Fahren heit, dining a gamo at Kansas City In the eighties. He was pitching for tho Cincinnati Heds, and Jim Davis, tho blugger of tho Kansas City Cowboys, was nt the bat. Jim landed a foul of one of Tony's pet curves. Tho bail sped straight from Jim's fatlclc vlth a bullet's speed, and was stopped by Tony's comely visage. Tony fell faco first, nnd ills physician gathoied tho Installments of tho proboscis and ad justed it to a sling in tho hospital that night. Tony has been quite seriously injured several times during a gamo of balh but somehow his arm always escaped. Jim McGuire 1ms had his lingers telescoped and scrambled, liut his arm never failed him Jim met with a peculiar accident In Loul&vlllo In '93. Tho ball bobbed up from the gtound In front of the plate nnd struck his mask at tho base. One of tho wires was loose, and tho force of tho ball drove tho wire Into his neck. Dr. Stuckey took six stitches In it. I havo heard players envy Mullana nnd Mc Guire their nrms, and wonder at tho care this pair of veterans must take of themselves. As a matter ot fact, neither of them over gives his wing a second thought. I have seen catchers and ptlchers who weie continually worrying about their arm going back on them, and they were always buying liniments, lotion, and spending money for raaswffo treatment. These cianks would have lasted longer had thoy pur sued the same happy-go-lucky course ns McGuire and Mullnne. One thing peculiar with Jim McGulre's nrm Is the Fltzslmmons steam It can develop when Jim is obliged to make a quick throw. Inllclders who have causht these sbz llng tlnous of Jim's havo told me that the ball feels as heavy ns a lump of lead when It lands in their mitt" DIAMOND DUST. Dnn Campbell is to get a trial on tho Atlantic league umpiio staff. The diamond Is no, place for a dis satisfied bull player. His home is in BenchviHe. President. N. K. Young Is after Um pire Tommy Connelly, of the New ling land league. Tony Mullano. In spite of his eighteen years' continuous fcervlce, is yet a won derful pitcher. It is a long tlmo since the Pittsburg people, have seen money thrown at a player, but Hoffmelster was the re cipient of such favors Saturday. "Dusty" Miller appears to be playing for his release from Cincinnati on ac count of the roasting of tho bleachers nnd not receiving money he demanded in tho spring. "Dusty" is ono of tho best men in tho business, and will prove a great find for tho club that can effect nn exchange. Dowllng and Miller will bo farmed out by the Loulsvlllo club. They arc both promising pitchers and will doubtless bo of service In tho major league next year. It has not been de cided where they will go. Pitcher Kvnns, who was released by tho Louls vlllo management, has been re-signed. So Berger might have been signed by Buifulo. ,A dispatch from that city on Monday to the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph stated: "The Buffalo club may havo a new battery within a few days. Manager Howo wired an offer to jolly Dutch Berger, who used to catch for Erie nnd other Eastern leaguo teams. Berger was tho back stop of tho Cortland club of the State league, hut as ho was tho highest salaried man on tho team, and as It was necessary to reduce expenses, ho was given his release. Manager Itowo fhw him practlco nt Scranton and says that ho threw as swift and true as a hhot, und seemed to bo In s'uperb con dition. Montreal Is also after Berger, but ho Is likely to accept tho Buffalo offer. It Is said that Berger stood n good chance of being appointed an Kasteni lenmm umntrn Ttn lino snen ftjio folly of his former bibulous ways, nilrl nntlf fa net rAmnnxntn no (Iia -... consistent follower of Francis Mur phy."

Wright Came with Jack Skelly from Brooklyn Yesterday Prospects for n Good Mill. Jack Skelly, of Brooklyn, N. Y ono of tho promoters of the twenty-round boxing bout between Joe Bernstein, of New Yotk city, and Fred. Wright, ot Peabody, Mass., at Music Hall, reached JOB HEHNSTBIN. hero yesterday. Ho was accompanied by Wright, who later In the day went to Plttston, where ho will make his headquarters and finish his training with James Judge, returning here to morrow afternoon. Wright Is a very likely looking young fellow nnd uppears able to make good the promises by Skelly and others that he will give a good nccount of himself tomorrow night. Both ho nnd Bern stein will be near the limit of 121 pounds. The referee has not been announced. Two or three preliminaries are being arranged and will be announced in to morrow's Tribune. One of these may bo between Jnck Tlge, of this city, and "Hod" Connolly, whose aspirations in tho pugilistic line wore dampened by Judge in a recent bout in this city. If tlrfH go enn be arranged it will at tract more attention than Is usually ac cented a preliminary. The disagreeable weather of yester day had no terrors for Bernstln. He was up heforo meal time, and wrapped In good warm clothes, started out for Elmhurst boulevard, where ho reeled off ten miles. After this exercise he returned to the St. Charles hotel where his handlers were in waiting. He was quickly rulibed nnd sponged until his llesh would have acted the part of a looking glass. After dinner Bernstein and a number of prominent gentlemen rode to the Scranton Bicycle club's gymnasium where Bernstein punched the bag for fully an hour and devoted much lime to the pulley weights and wrist machines. The fact that ho showed no signs of fatigue was ample proof that he was in good trim for a fast contest. "1 havo a number of friends in Scranton nnd I want them to bo on hand Thursday night, for they will seo a good contest between Wright nnd mycelf." sUd Bernstein just us he left the club house. The latter"s opinion ot Wright is that he is a very likely fellow und will, If nppearancs go for anything, make It very Interesting for 1 he Now York featherweight. Skelly, who ought to know what ho Is talking about, says that Wright is the coming featherweight champion. RACES AT CLEVELAND. (Irnnd Circuit Hvonts Contested for on it Sloppy Trnck. Cleveland, O., July 27. In spite of tho threatening weather theie was another largo crowd out at the grand circuit taces. A heavy rain fell dutlng the forenoon and In consequence the track was In poor condition. There were three events on the card tho 2.25 trot, with Dare Devil, from Hamllns Vil lage farm, was a hot favorite; the 2.10 pace, with Frank Bogash as favorlto and Agitate second prize, and the 2.23 pace, with tho Massachusetts stallion, Courier Journal, favorlto. In tho 2.25 trot Daro Devil justified tho confidence of his backers by win ning in strnlght heats, best time, 2.13. In the 2.10 pace, Frank Bogash won the first heat in slow time, but In the sec ond heat Planet wus first under tho wire In 2.07. Bogash got tho next two heats with case, making tho best tlmo of the raco 2.06'4 in the concluding hent. The 2.25 pace was postponed after four heats had been gone. In the first heat Satin Slipper beat the favorite and several others. After she had lost tho second heat to Bcntwood, drivers were changed and she took the third. In the fourth heat Geeis drove Elslnor for a great finish. She was trailing in sixth place at the first quarter. Slow ly but surely she overtook tho field and passed tho leaders one by one. At the stretch sho passed Satin Slipper and beat her under tho wlro by a head. Best time, 2.11V4. imiTisii whi:i:i,s and ours. An American Consul Compares Them nud Prods Our Manufactures. Iteportlng to tho State department on tho recent blcyclo show nt Dublin, Ire land, which Consul Ashby found to afford un opportunity of a comparison of American nnd British machines, that oiilclnl says: "About 050 machines were exhibited. Of these 90 per cont. wero of British construction, and the remainder, with tho exception of eleven of French make, which closely resembled tho American, wero of American manufacture. There was a striking difference in construc tion nnd fittings between the American and British bicycles, the higher crank bracket and correspondingly higher 1 ftggigelregit I pent and longer steering1 heads of the former being a strong contract to the dropped crank bracket and short steer ing head of tho latter. But ths most Important differences were In the fit tings. Ths American machines, with a few notnWo exceptional 'had wooden! rims, with single tube tlres,a plain steel brake, email, hard saddle, and often wooden handlo bars; whllo thoNBrltlsh machines had detachable tires fitted to steel rims, hollow In tho best grades; a rubber lined brnko, large, springy saddle, and steel handlo bars. But what Btruck one most was the difference In mud guards, the short, narrow, and al most useless wooden guards on Ameri can machines, when they had even these, forming a striking contrast to tho nmplo steel or celluloid mud guards used on all tho British machines in tend for road riding. "It seems remarkable that our manufacturers- of bicycles do not attempt to fit tho machines thoy export to suit tho tnstesandnecessltles of those for whoso patronage they desire to compete. Why they consider It a necessity to fit use less mud guards to machines Intended for'uso In a country where it rains on an average 229 days every year Is hard to understand. Thero 1b no necessity to change the design of our machines not to fit steel rims In place of wood, as In time tho public will become ac customed to them, but short, narrow, useless guards will meet with disap proval as long ns mud remains. " Scrunton's (Jood Marksmen. At the championship target matches at Union Hill, N. J., last week, II. M. Spencer, of Dunmore, divided the first prize of $250 In one match, and received a gold and a silver medal and other prizes. Anderw Kehrle, of Scran ton, won a gold medal, a silver medal, a bllver watch Inlaid with gold, and $29 In prize monoy. A Blow Agninst lioxing. New Orleans, June 27. The St. Ber nard parish officials have decided that a club wealthy enough to offer a puraa of $5,000 for a fight between McAullffe and Burke should pay a license of $500 for each light. If the proposed plans of the officials aro carried out tho fights in anticipation will probably either be declared off or will be financial failures. ARLIE LATHAM'S WIT. It Wns Sparkling nnd Was Ever nt III Tongue's End. Many patrons of the league games have asked thUi year, "Where Is Latham now?"' Tho clown has really been missed, for ho was truly 0110 of tho few real wits of the profession. But llko all ball players, At Ho found tint tho young bloods were too fast (ad wero slowly crowding him and other vets out. Ono of Lath'B funniest remarks on the field was made during a gome be tween the Chicago and Brooklyn Play ers' league tetms at Eastern park In 1800. It was a dark dreary day, and Interest in the national gamo was growing beautiful ly less every day. Hy actual emmt th6ro were fifty-five persons In tho stands and on tho Held, Including tho players of both teams, policemen, attendants, and spec tators. Tho officials of the two clubs were forlorn, and even tho teams seemed influ enced by tho situation, for they wero playing a dead game. Just at the rear of tho grand stand wotkmen wcio building tho club's office. In which President Byrne has his sanctum now, and among other things employed by them hi their labor was a huge derrick and an Irrmemo Iron chain. By somo nils cuo this derrick and chain suddenly top. pled over and fell with a clanking crash that was prolonged and deafening. The chain mado tho most no!o and continued to rattlo long after tho derrick had fallen. Thero was naturally a rush to the scone of the nccldrnt, and when quiet had been restored Latham created a laugh by shouting: "No need of excitement! They're simp, ly counting tho money out there!" TIM HURST'S ADVICE. Was Peculiar, but It Stopped n Well Known Player's Kicking. Tim Hurst's ndvico was peculiar but It stopped a well-known player's kicking. Umpire Tim Hurst has a way peculiarly his own in frettllng his troubles with ball playeis on the field. Ho inrllcts less fines than any of tho umpires, and yet keeps tho players pretty well In check. In a recent game a certain well-known captain made a rush nt Tim, at the same tlmo uttering all sorts of terrible threats. Tim met tho kicker before ho got to the plate, and after allowing lilm to pour forth a flamo of threats and pro tests. Hurst put his mouth close to the player's ear nnd said cooly: "Now, you'ro getting a bit chesty, I see. You'vo mado a couple of good stops, knocked out n couple of hits, and you think you'ro solid with tho crowd. Well, I'd Just tell you something. I'll give you tho key to my room nt tho hotel, where everything's nlco and quiet, a'l I when wo get In thero alono I'll break that jaw of yours so that you can't kluk for tho rest of tho season. I'll seo that you get out quietly so that you can exp'nln your Injury by saying you fell down somewhere." Tho kicker didn't accept tho Invitation, for ho know well that Hurst Is a dangerous scrapper when his dander Is up. A LONG SWIM. Two Experts Cover n Ten-Mile Courso--Thc Event n IJond Heat. Tho rough sea outside nnd the threat ening weather did not prevent tho swim ming match from Narragansett pier to Newport on Friday for u purse of $500, the contestants being Professor J. n. Starck and John Glemlstcr, of Brook lyn. Tho start was made from Sherry's pa vllllon at 1.55 p. m., nnd ovorythlng went well until Beaver Tall was reached, when GlcmlRter was taken with a cramp, but soon recovered, Starck was then In the lead, but was overtaken, nnd rrom then on the men kept well togetner They ntre bothered by porpoises and sharks, and tho crow of tho surf boat were busy keeping them off. Soveral steamers passed them and saluted, and a steam yacht followed them almost tho entire way. Tho contestants landed at Commercial vharf completely exhausted, having been In the water five hours and three min utes, which beats tho record for tho cruirse of five and one-half hours hold by It, J. McNally, of Boston, who la now abroad preparing to swim the English clmiiuel. Tho raco was decided a dead heat. NOTES OF THE SPORTS. Star Pc Inter beat Joe Patchen and Frank Agan nt Chicago.

Moinbors--Wlioolmcn's Night" nt Willow (Jrovo nnd Other Cain Events, Philadelphia, Pa., July 27. The value of a League membership ticket will be considerably onhnnmil rim-inc th. ...ont. of tho National Meet, which will be held in hub cuy august 4 to 7. The big river excursion, which Is scheduled for Wed nesay evening, tho 4th, is a case in point, tho entire entertainment on that occasion being free to League mem bers. Special L. A. W. boats will leave Arch street wharf at 15-mInute inter vals from C.30 to 7.30 p. m., and the visitors, after being afforded an op portunity of Inspecting the entire water front of the city through the medium of a trip up the river, will be taken to Washington Park on tho Dela ware, where a unique and speclally nrrnnged entertainment Is in course of prepaiatlon by the management of that well-known down-river resort. Not only will the membership ticket be recognized on the special boats (of which six have been secured), but the committee in charge of tho excursion has made arrangements whereby those who find it inconvenient to go with the main body may, upon exhibiting their "open sesame," tho League card, take passage direct to Washington Tark before or after the hours above men tioned. Transportation will be provid ed for 20,000 and by special arrange ment tho visitors will not be compelled to return to the city at any stated time, the league ticket securing pas sage on any of the regular boats up to midnight. FOR. TWO DOLLARS (?) Another practical answer to the ster eotyped question, "What do I get for my $27" will be had tho following evening, Thursday, on the occasion ot tho "all-night smoker" at The Arena, when the visitors will be afforded an opportunity of enjoying one of those famous functions for which the wheel men of tho Quaker City are famous. From 9.30 p. m. till rosy dawn there will be a "continuous performance," ath letic, musical, pugilistic, etc., such as has never been witnessed-In this or any other city. There will be tobacco tn burn on this occasion. J. M. Burd, the Philadelphia representative of the Drummond Tobacco company having donated to tho Smoker Committee 100 000 cigarettes, while Buchanan & Lyall havo promised to be similarly generous In the matter of smoking tobacco each man who attends the smoker will be presented with a two-ounce package of tho fragrant weed with the compli ments of that firm. Pipes will also be furnished free. It will be a "warm session." The League ticket will come to tho front again on the occasion of "Wheel men's Night," Friday, at Willow Grove, when all L. A. W. members, will be al lowed to witness the special features which will bo provided for their amuse ment within tho track lnclosure fire works,, trick riding, etc by the man agement of the famous resort. League members taking part in any of the numerous runs during the week will travel free of charge over toll roads. "Rank outsiders" Will, of course be mulcted the usual amount. Another entertnlnment Is In course of preparation for Saturday night, a mid summer night's fete, at Belmont Man sion, In Falrmount PriSk, which will, of course, be free to League members. From all of which It Is quite apparent that the league mebershlp card will be quite a valuable article during tho first week of August next. L. A. W. HEADQUARTERS. The Arena (formerly known as tho Winter Circus), nt Broad and Cherry streets, a stone's throw from the City Hall, has been secured by the Execu tive Committee bb "L. A. W. head quarters." This building, which Is ad mirably adapted for the purpose, will bo quite a valuable article during the meet. Here League members will regis ter and receive their credentials, check their wheels, and seek nnd receive In formation of every conceivable char acter. The Arena will he the starting point of all the runs, as well as the scene of the big "all-night smoker," for which a sub-commlttce of the En- ARBOUR' High Grade Wheels on easy terms. 425 Lftckawanna Avenue IS Buy a Bike at At reduced prices, still continues.
