New orl: seems futed to hilng up the tall end. Davis' men piny tin? national R.ime In first late ptyle on the homu Krounds but seem to lose heart on the load. Ilecently while nt home they have played much better hall than nt tltst In tho season, the whole team appar ently tnrtlnir a brace The nine's weak spot nil t-enson has been snld to be third base, but jnunrr Hickman is do ing llnely of late In tho field nnd 1"? also llll'tlllR well. Fouls and Bunts TlIU ruciTMATUTinS of base ball nte Mionujy lllustinted In the ium of MaRoon, m-poik! baseman for the Indianapolis Amotion I-eaRue team. Mngoon broke Into the Na tional n few eais aRo fiom the New Knsland lenRUo ipid plui-l with Urooklyn. Ho put up a nice fleldliiR frame, but wns lamentablv weak with the stick. He dilfted later to Chlcarro nnd thete also his weak work with the wand threw him nnd he was allowed to drift this j ear Into the Ameilcnn J.easup, and In that association, very little slower than the National lt.self, nmonRst nn aRgioRatlon of tremendous sluRRors, manv of the men who batted nhove .300 Inst year In the National, the Chicago and Urooklyn oast off Btnndfl first, lending men like Ander son, Dowd, O'Uilen, Gear, Dungan and other men of might with the willow. There nre some gieat extra Inning contests played In the American League. In the 15-innlng Rame Trl day, August 3, between Milwaukee and Indianapolis, which the Hoosiers fin il ly won by a fecore of 4-2, Dowd, the Milwaukee left Holder, had eleven put outs. His two companions In the out field had one our between them. Dowd nifio showed up strong with the bat nnd lined out two triples nnd three singles out of seven times up. The Delohanty family, since the breakhiR up of the Atlantic League, has been Fcateered w Idely. Tom Del , the froeond bagman, played for awhile with Cleveland; Jim Is plalng well at shoit Held for Woi coster in the Eastern league and hitting the ball pnuaiely, and Joe Is covoilng the Mon ti oal left garden. Tho spotting writers In Montreal and Toronto seem to have had their feel ings shocked by the soiled condition of ball plneis' uniforms-, and in writing n denunciation of dirty npparel on the field, the Mofitienl Heinld rami picks out ns a honiblo example none other than our ancient' friend, William Mas sey, who Is now plnjlng first bnee nt Haitfoid. And this is what they say: "Springfield uniforms are disgracefully dlity. Toionto Star. And the same applies to other clubs. People nre not stuck on seeing men like Mnesey, of Hartford, for Instance, who Is not graceful any way, going mound looking like n coal heaver. It's a matter that should receive serious consideration fiom tho lenRue. A lot of patronnpe comes from women in all cltiis nnd what must they think of the "dead tough, too'" nppearance of many of the men. Give uh clean uniforms and something else besides the everlasting black or dark blue stockings With n little color In his stockings and trim mings a team can stand a little dirt, without it being so maikcd. Montieal Herald. laddie Mapuire, Scranton's old short stop, is fielding well nnd batting hard for Kome In tho New York State League. Flank Homier, who formerly played on the Infield for the Scrnnton nnd Wllkes-Haue Kastein League teams, loads the Rochester nine with the stick, batting nt about a .320 clip. Hniry O'Hagan, the Hist baseman, leads the team In fielding with the splendid nveinge of .'Ml for elghty tlnee games. Peter Hagan, another old Semnton favoilte, 1h gamboling around tho Coitland left field in the Now York State League. Peter Is lidding magnificently this yeni and his tremendous stick work has won many n game foi his team. Catchoi Messitt, who cauRht for Wllkcs-llairo's Atlantic league team this season, has boon given his walking papers by Manager Liwnard of the Kj mouse team Illshop, last ear with Richmond, has also felt the axe Catcher McManus, this jenr with Allintovvn, Is thing sploudld vvoik un bind the bat nt Kansas City Fi.y.k's thniwlng aim Is In fine condition, and he is hitting the ball at a late which has made him n big favorite already.

The Editor of the "Christian Million," tinder tho heading of General Notes, on August so, 1856, wrote .- "A good article will stand upon Its own merits, and we may rely upon It that nothing will continue lonjc which does not, In a more or less degree, harmonize with the state ments which are published concerning It." Mr. Hall Calne, Author of " The Deemster," "The Manx man," "Tho Christian," etc., when spialc. ing on "Criticism," recently, said . "When a thin? that Is advertised greatly Is good It goes and goes permanently! when It Is bad, It only goes lora wnllo 1 tho public finds It out." The Proprietor of BEECHAM'S PILLS has said over and over again t "It Is a fallacy to Imagine that anything will sell ust because It Is advertised. How many nostrums have been started with glare and snulled out In doom? The tact man Is not easily gulled a second timet and t is. ii and every dissatisfied purchaser does ten times more harm than one satlilled does rood, Assuredly the sale ol more than 6,000,000 boxes ol UliliCHAM'S I'lLLS per annum, altera public trial ol hall-a-ctntury.

Taloris undoubtedly the fastest sprinter in the world. This Is rather peculiar, as he maJe his bow in the cycle racing world by competing an J gaming a place tn a six day grin J in New York. that 1M Delohanty would stand a good chance for the majoialty of Philadel phia If he debited tile honoi. Ducky Holmes and Frank Dillon, of the Dctioits, icoently llguted In a play which isn't of evoiy day oocuiietue. ratterson, of the opposing nine, lined tho ball to light field. It fell safe but Holmes was nftoi it like a shot and lined It to Hi st ba.o In time to nail the lunner. Since Van Haiti tu caught big Cy Swain, In Now Yotk, on a safe drive to eontei, tills is the Hist time the play has been successfully made Outfielder White, of Syiacu-se, has been appointed captain of the Suns. King Dickson, the old Unlvuitdty of Pennslvanla plaer, has been s-lgned by Woieester. Gene Demont, of the lliooklyns, io cently glow enthusiastic over tho woik of young Jones, the Supeibns' center holder, and In speaking about him said, "This i Jones' enr. That fel low Is playing wondeiful ball. Theie's the boy whose names makes Nick Young wild every October Now his front name is rielder. That's been published five bundled times, but still everybody thinks It's a josh. It isn't. It's his handle rielder A. Jones. So when Ebbetts sends down the name Fielder Jones, Young wiltts back: 'Please send me Jones' coireot name.' Lbbetts vviltes: 'IIIh name is Fielder.' Young leplles.

Catchoi s say It's like sitting in n locking chaii to backstop him. No fancy shoots, gives quite a lot of passes, but he wins. How many? Seventeen won, tin en lost, thnt's nil. We left Dunn In Hiooklyn. Jack's not light this year, not up to his last yeai's mink." "Alec Smith still ptomenades Uioad vi ny," fcays Keelei. "Loves the street. 'Why,' says Alec, 'I'd inthei bo n lamppost on Rumdwny than the mayor of Chicago.'

It will not be a Jeffrles-MiarUey fight, a mill In which two giant animals, with biceps like Iron, stand up and pound each other until nt lnt one succumbs, but rather a mannlflcent exhibition of cleer, scientific boxing. Corbett. tho ex champion, has nlways enjoyed tho rep utation of being the bialnlest ring gen eral In the country. Quick on his feet, panther like In his movement, and withal possessed of a good light aim which can send In a stiong powerful blow, to which James J Jeff ilea him self Is u witness, Corbett Is an an tagonist to bo dreaded. McCoy Is n lighter of exactly the same type, but not possessed of the same strength that Pompadour James telles on. However, the Kid has his adherents by legions nnd there will be a big crowd present to cheer on the flstlo gladiators when they como together.

The two men will probably meet nt the Labor Day carnival nt Hayonne of the Knickerbocker Athletic club, nt which lloignn will appear for the Knickerbockers. The joung Irishman holds tho wotld'fl lecord for putting the 16-pound shot, having sent It? AS foet 2 inches. He has put the 28-pound shot 33 foot 3 Inches nnd has nlso done well In hammer throwing. Tor a. big man Horgan Is veiy active nnd has n reeoid of E feet 11 Inches foi IiIrIi jumping.
