DEMAND FOR SEASONED PLAYERS. Minor Lcngncs of tho Country Are Pull of Old Timers. Old blood th'o retired and played-out warriors of the big league la now as much a feature of tho minor leagues as young blood used to be of the greater organization niys the Buffalo Enquir er. In bygone days it was the ambition of the National league to pick up the flue young pktyers of the minor leagues o develop them nnd overy little club has its wonder who would surely bo drafted by the big fellows In the fan. Now It's tho other way tho talk in tho little leagues Is ever of getting old, experienced, reliable players who have outlived their usefulness In tho fastest company. A glnnce over the scores of even so Inconsiderable an organisation ns the Western association proves this conclusively. Six of these small clubs did battle yesterday. Among the members of the half dozen might have been noticed these: AVIth St. Joseph the veteran KltiKmnn. who has knocked nrotind the land for many a year, and Klnlock, who was tried and dropped by ron uer Alio. With Cedar Rapids, playing first, is Hutchinson, who once essayed second for Uncle Anson wny back In 1S30, and Donnelly, who pitched for tho colts with much success In 1S9I. AVIth Quln cy Is Traftley, who has been catching since 1S78 or thereabouts; Nulton who was once counted as n good National leaguu possibility n'nd Lutenberg, who covered first for Louisville pom years ago. AVith Peoria is Pat Wright, vho was one of Anson's band In brotheihood yenr. AVIth Rockford Is Newman, tho outfielder, who used to be much tclked about. Tony Esterquest, tho old Chl cagoan, Is on short for the samo team; Kllng, who tried to pitch in the big ltague, plays llrst; Patsy Flaherty.who was a third baseman for Louisville, covers thltd: Joe Vlsner, catcher for the old Broklyns In 1&89 ia In the field, and Underwood a fairly -successful Brooklyn pitcher some years back, is twilling. Tho only man of note on the Burlington team Is Sammy Samuels, who used to stop nil that didn't get by for Von der Ahe's browns. CHAMPION PITCHERS. to Alderman Band gran to swear out a warrant for Green's arrest. Tho Alderman laughed at .the charge as to obsurd for cnsideratlon. This so nngured Porch that he gavo tho official a hot expression of his opinion ot such Justice. Porch was unceremonlusly hustled out of the offlce. Then he caused tho arrest ot the Justlco on the chnrge of assault, but the caso was dismissed. Green wai then taken before Justice Barrett, at Cold Spring, who fined him $3 for the theft of the peaches. SPORTSMEN. ATTENTION. DEATH OP JOHN KELLER. Ho Tried to Throw Judgo Morrow Under n Trnln.

The cricket match between Captain Warner's team of British amateurs and n team of twenty-two "colts," selected from the Junior membership of the various Phila delphia cricket clubs, was begun nt noon today. Robert S. Newhall, the veteran player, acted as captain for the colts. The weather was clear and cool and during the latter portion of tho afternoon there waB an attendance of about one thousand. The Phlladelphluns won the toss nnd chobe to go to the hat first. While the youngsters as a rule fell easy prey to the hlsh class howling of the English men, seven of them succeeded In get ting double figures, as did also Captain Newhall. The full team was retired for 13 runs. Tho Britishers then went to bat and when stumps wero drawn for the day. they had scored 41, with a loss of two wickets. Tho Two Grcnt Pnccrs Delight iHnltitiidu With Kvcn Honors. Indianapolis, Sept. 17. Joe Patchen, for the first time since the Columbus meeting In July, showed Pointer his dust today. The wonderful black stal lion captured the second heat in the battle between the two pacing kings, lie had the pole, the place being won by the Hip of a coin, and from the word he cut the route and was not heeded. Pointer won the first heat In comparatively easy form In 2.04ft. Mc Cleary was driving In fine style, and he counted on the second heat being taken with equal ease. Patchen had faltered some In the first argument. An experiment had been tried In his shoeing. For the first time In weeks' delay was caused In getting the word, f'.ue to his breaking. His rounding In form was superb and the crowd of 45, 000 people was Immensely pleased at nls Mvlftness. The second heat will be run tomorrow, neults: Match race, purse, $3,000.

Wnshington Pin) or Discusses Ono ot tho Old-Tlmo Crnclis. "I was reading about Henry Boyle, the pitcher of the old Indlanerolls Ma roons, who lost more games for 1 star than any pitcher the game has ever seen," lemarked Itoger Bresnehan, the newest twlrllnc find of tho Senators. "Boyle, you know, started out ni a first baseman, and It was only by accident that ho developed Into a pitcher. When Billy Taylor deserted tho Maroons, Boyle went in to pitch Just by way of an experiments he had a strong wing, and used to toss a good many curves to the players In ptactlce. "When I was on n seml-nmateur team at Bryan. Ohio, two years aso I was catcher, and the manager tool: a notion that I could pitch, as I used to snap the ball around tho infield with pretty fnlr accuracy, and could work a drop curve. Ono day In n game with a western league team I took my first turn as a pitcher. I was satisfied to get tho ball over the plate, as control, after all, Is the basis of pitching, I worked nn occasional slow drop, nnd, though wo lost, tho opposing team worked mo for only six hits. Then the pitching wheel under ny bonnet began to whirl, and every day I pitched to one of the players on tho team, "My notion of pitching in practice Is to master control of the ball, and I was constantly shooting the ball over the pinto to a man dt the backstop. I would often get one of the players to bat my delivery, and being a beginner I overworked and contracted a lame ness of tho arm that soon wore off with rest. I always considered that According to tho evidence, the three most successful pitchers of the year In the National League are Nichols, Cor bett and ltusle, two veterans and a youngester. Three men of moro radi cally variant typss could hardly be found in the whole lengue circuit and each of the three affords an interest ing study. Nichols of the Bostons Is a mnn ot perhaps 20 years, nnd Is of average size. He has Iren pitching ten sea sons. Ills arm Is seldom out ot gear, has never threatened to give out and Is today as good as It was ten years ago. Nichols has a shrewd, crafty face a comment, seirrenant carnag? anu a general air of strength and determina te. He la of the build which never grows too fat and consequently has little trouble with his training. His habits ars o the best and he Is noted as n model husband and father. Nichols seldom seems to use his full strength, and never to overexert him self. Hj has few sharp curves ot bend ers of tho kind which wear out an arm. Game after game ho sends in the ball In the same easy, graesful style, right across tho rubber and yet most difficult for the 'batsman. Ha averages less than two bases on balls per game, seldom hits a man, strikes out about three to the game and fields his position very steadily. He is a weak batter. Joe Corbett is not over 25 years old, of about th' same size as Nichols, but very different In gait, manner and ac tion. He follows different athletic pastimes when off the field, keeps fair ly good habits, though not temperate as jicnois, ana is, in fact, Just an average, easy-going young man of the day. His pitching Is In the opposite lines from those of the Bostonlan. He uses overy possible twist and curve, und some Judges think that his arm will bo gone when Nichols Is still pitching. The ball does all sorts of gyrations when he throws it, and the result Is that hu strikes out four or more men per game, gives many bases on balls and hits many batters. He Is a good batsman and tries hard for fielding chances, but falls down on a large proportion of them. Amos Rusle Is a man of about 27. gigantic In size and so Inclined to flesh, despite his youth, that he has to keep in most rigorous training to prevent turning into a walking mountain. This adipose tendency will probably end his pitching In three more seasons. He could probably push both Corbett and Nichols ell over a lot, but would be sadly distanced on a foot race with either. Amos has naturally no such crafty, brainy skull as either of the others, but years of experience have drilled head work Into him nnd he now knows Just about what to feed any batsman who comes before him. Amos wins as much through terrorism as on his curves or skill. Batsmen are half conquered when they face him. When Amos hits a man the man goes to a hospital and the poor fellow with the stick Is as busy keeping from being hit as he Is In bat ting. Amos is not as wild as he used to be and the fat arm sends them right over tho pan, hut his curves come with such Jump and snap that his Inshoots seem sure to kill and his outshoots draw Ineffective whacks continually. Amos would be a great batsman If he could run; he gives moro free bases than NIchoH and fewer than Corbett, stilkes out about three to the game and hits fewer men than he would if the batters didn't keep dodging. People will walk Into the balls thrown by Nichols nnd Corbett when a hit bats man will force in a run, but they will get out of the wny like scared monkeys when Rusle sends them In.

The Tribune has caused much of the de crease through its free "Situations Wanted" ad vertisements. A man, woman, boy or girl, who is out of work cannot, as a rule, afford to pay to ad vertise, but a corporation, person or firm employ ing others to work for them can and should pay for such advertisements, Therefore The Tribune publishes "Situations Wanted" free of charge, and all other "Want Ads" at the reasonable rate of One Cent a Word in Advance.
