IN THK Chicago Sunday Kccord
llerald Manager Tom T.oftus, of
the Windy City National leaguers,
gives the following reasons for Ills
team's poor showing:
1 tic nuc'timi is often aked, "What is the
matter with the oiphans?"
If the oue-tion is propounded facetiously,
tlicie nic plenty of faicliou; replies, lint if it
is aked seiioujdy, logical leasons nie at hand
to c.plain the i lulus Funding in the pciinint
l are.
Kht and most impmtanl comes the nutter
of injuicd playeu. N'.mely lias a came hem
played this season with our tegular team in
the field. Tins is a distomacing handicap to a
cluli which i none too stiong at Its best, es
pecially if It has been weakened by ilcseitinns
and is Iryii'g out new men to fill the vacancies.
Bui the fans oicilonk the fact that we hate
been crippled fiom the eiy start of the champion-hip
ccifon. Had weftartcd with our regular
team in the field and won rcven or eight of
the first t write gimcs pla.veil, and had the in
juries then happened, the Chicago fnllowen of
Imc ball would hate noticed tho dilleicnio in
our etandard and would have sympathized with
u In our haul link. But because we secured a
inor start and fell into a losing sticak we aie
called "iluhs," hasdieeiis' nud all other cv
prfisivc trims in a disgusted fan's vocabu
lary. This Is one nf a series of Interesting
weekly articles which appear In the
Record-Herald front the pens of base
ball managers or star players, John
J., alias "Muggsy" McOraw contri
buted, a paper on the requirements of
an Al ball player and Napoleon Lajolo
bad In several terso comments upon
tho proper manner In which to dent
one's trademark upon tho clean white
horso hide. .
Stimmel, the lengthy and speedy
young man who pitched for Alleutown
last season and later went to Cincin
nati, Is now twirling for Indianapolis
In the Western association. Saturday
he shut out Toledo with four hits anil
fanned out an oven dozen men.
Winters, tlto young Oottysburg col
Jege pitcher, who was signed by Jimmy
Collins for tho Boston American
leaguers, is making good with a ven
geance, liming, won all tbreo games ho
has pitched since joining professional
ranks,
Louie nierbauer, old and reliable, Is
still In the game, frisking gaily about
second base for the Hartford Kastern
leaguers.
Dan Kervln Is still with Huffalo, and
Is doing h stunt in tho box regularly
for the Bisons.
Jack Wallers, who was a favorite
here In tho old Kastorn league days, Is
now playing right Held for Providence,
He Is Holding strongly, batting hard
and as fast of foot on tho bases as In
days of yore.
Jack Toft, who caught for Walter
Buruham's team here lust summet, has
made good in the Kastern league, where
he Is now doing a backstop specialty
for Toronto. He Holds his position well
and moreover Is doing hard and timely
batting for the Canucks,
"Big Bill" Massey, who when a mem
ber of Mart Swift's State leaguers wus
the (dol of tho Scr.iuton populace, is
now holding down first base for Hart-
lord and retains his evident fondness
tor ripping off large juicy drives to (he
put gardens.

iptaln. Is batting with terrltlo force
late, and Is giving Kmmetl Heldrick.

nor, Wolverton, Iftirkett and other
sluggers of the old-time type standing
at the top of the list It begins to look
ns though tho era of the exponents of
tho new school of batting worn begin
ning to fall behind In the procession.
Willie Kule, however, still, manages to
hold up his end, and wco Willie Is be
coming somewhat of a slugger himself
and long home run smashes and two
and throc-biiso smashes ore far more
of an occurrence with him titan they
were In the days when bis clever bunt
ing and work-tbo-pltchor game kept
him In the lead of the National league
hitters.
Skopec, the lofl-handcd youngster
who twirls for tho Chicago White
Stockings, lends the team at the bat
with an average of .33:!, which, strange
to say, is the same as tho figures oppo
site the name of "Topsy" Hartsel, who
leads the Chicago National leaguers.
Htirtmnu and McFnrland, with .31." and
.107, are the only other White Stocks
above tho .300 mark, and Green's .323
makes him the only other Orphan
above the triple century mark.
The' record batting of the year oc
curred Saturday at Rochester, when In
the second game of a double-header
with Worcester, the homo team scored
twenty-seven runs and thirty hits In
six Innings. They batted Griffin and
Magee out of the box and tfeko Wrig
ley had to come In from second base
and essay his luck In the .box. Roches
ter also won the tirst game, fourteen
hits In eight innings, and this, there
fore, gave a total of forty-four lilts for
fourteen Innings.
Shortstop Bean led with the. bat, get
ting three safe ones out of four times
up in the first game, and In tho second
making six hits in six times at bat.
Klght of his smashes wore singles and
one a double. Rllly Lush caught three
safe ones In three times up In this
same awful game. His drives were a.
single, double and triple. Grominger,
Barclay and O'Hagan each got four
hits, tho collection Including a throe
bagger and two doubles, nnd Grey got
three safeties. Conn was only up once,
hut then drove out a single, while
Smith and Mattern each got two safe
ties and Dixon landed one.
There is joy In Philadelphia over tho
signing of llughey Jennings to cover
first base, and there Is no doubt that
that move has greatly strengthened
the team, llughey has been assigned
first base ats his special pasture ground,
and Delchanty Is delighted to again
find himself in left Held, whore he dis
places little Slagle. The hitter's bat
ting has been light, and it Is therefore
likely that he will be soon allowed to
enter other Holds. His fielding hits
been highly satisfactory, however, and
some of the catches he has made arc
among the most spectacular ever seen
on a base ball ground. Against pitch
ers attifle less speedy the little fellow
ought to prove a winner, and ho would
materially .strengthen a number of
American league teams.
News, first baseman of tho Chester
(dub, has been sold to the Columbus,
C, team. He has a great record this
season, having mndo seventy-eight
hits in thirty-four games, numbering
nineteen home runs in his collection of
safeties. He is well remembered in
tills city, having played here last sea
son with Alleutown. News is the
heavily-built--Individual who sent tho
ball over the center field fence in a
Saturday afternoon game hero by one
of the longest drives ever soon on the
local grounds.
Ralph Seybold, who has been on the
Athletics' bench during the greater
part of the season, replaced Gcler, In
right field, Monday, at Philadelphia,
and celebrated tho occasion by driving
out a homo run and three bagger. The
Quaker City fans have loudly and per
sistently demanded this move and the
big fellow's work Monday appeared to
justify tho assertion which has boon
made that bis presence would greatly
strengthen the team. There is no
doubt that tho ex-Rlclimond player Is
n natural batsman, and for a heavy
man he Is a swift fielder
Rowing.
THK ("LOSING- performance of the
University crews which will rep
sent Yale and Harvard in tho
important event of Thursday's regatta
load irresistibly to a revival of tho
conclusion reached just before tho
famous raco of I!)00 and emphasized by
that event Itself the conclusion that
tho boating mentors of the two insti
tutions are pretty nearly a unit alike
its to theory and practice. It was pre
dicted some years ago that the time
would arrive when practically identi
cal sstoms and methods of rowing
would prevail at these two Institutions.
Before tho great raco of last year It
was remarked that tho two crews wero
rowing practically the name stroke,
with tho result of tho raco bunging In
it balance governed alone by skill In
tho application of tho cardinal prin
ciples of tho stroke by an eight of
power and endurance. Tho race Itself
probably tho most exciting over row
ed between tho two colleges argued
logically for the soundness of this
proposition. Tho two eights did row
strokes almost identical and with a
skill which made tho contest for threo
and n half miles lmir-ralslng. The
outcome of the raco after tho col
ltipso of the Harvard stroke, Harding,
was, of course, tho natural one and
Vale took tho victory because her shell
was manned by tin eight of moro power
and endurance than that of the young
oarsmen who represented Hnryard,
Tho situation of IflOl Is unchanged.
Now, as In Juno, 1000, the stroke which
Is being pulled Is practically a combin
ation of the fumous "Cook" stroke and
tho Improvement!! evolved by Har
vard's head couch, K. V. Storrow, As
explained by an expert the strokes
differ In these respects, ,t tho catch
Yale utiliiiCH both shoulders and legs
simultaneously nud follows almost In
stantly with tho leg drive, Yale's
slides begin to move at once; Harvard
anchors the swoop and then slides.
Tho difference In practice Is a result
nf it difference In tho theories of tho
respective .coachers. Both tiro seek
ing to overcome thu much-to-bo-fcarcd
hitch or hult between strokes. Yule's
theory seems to bo founded on the be
lief that the effort to catch nnd pull
should be made simultaneously, so as
to produce ouo long, smooth pull; Har
vard works nn the theory thut the
catch, being highly Important, should
be cleanly and surely made before un
dertaking to pull the sweep through
the water. These technical and expert
differences are not to be detected by
tho ordinary spectator.
The lonif period of training through
which the two crows have gone lifts
varied but little from tho course of
last year. Harvurd repeated her meth
ods of isnn and 1D00. Between 200 and
360 candidates appeared curly In tho
year in tho shape of members of vari
ous rowing clubs. A scries of races
was hold and the process of elimina
tion was worked out. This year, how
over, tho 'Varsity squad catno out ot
the preliminary process earlier than
lust year. The club races wero fin
ished nearly a month earlier, and the
Varsity miund was chonon in early
April. Tho further weeding out pro
res was continued rapidly until early
In May the probable make-up of the
crew was well In hand. As a result,
Harvard reached Gales Ferry with a
set of oarsmen who had been rowing
together for sotno lime.
Three veterans of last year's Har
vard eight sit In this year's shell, Shtic
bruck, Hugh Bancroft and Bullnrd.
At Yale, as umml, the rowing leaders
contended against the disadvantage of

fewier candidates than Harvard. About
75 men responded to Captain Blagden'H
call. As 'usual, there were several
class crews and several class races, but
with a veteran nucleus of three men
and the presence in college ot several
iniMi of known rowing ability a 'Var
sity squad was, by common consent,
detached from the main body nf candi
dates, and this squad changed in per
sonnel only when particularly promis
ing material developed among the
other candidates. Coach Allen did not
appear until May, and his arrival was
followed by frequent changes In the
first crew. This made possible two
full eights of considerable strength and
skill. Yalo reached the Thames In ad
vance of Harvard by nearly two wcck.
Onco on the river, it was supposed
that Mr. Allen would slop the changes,
but until the last week before the raco
changes were very .frequent. Thus
Yale had the advantage of tho services
of two sets of men, each of whom had
been given experience in the 'Varsity
shell.
The last ten days before the race are
being devoted to the polishing off pro
cess. Time rows have been somewhat
more frequent than b; previous years.
This is particularly true with the Har
vard crew, it probahly having been de
cided to he wise to give the men plenty
nf stiff work beforehand, so that the
trying experience of nil exhausted our
would not be repeated.
Kuuzig, Cameron and Blagden are
the men of last year's victorious crow
who sit In tho Yale boat nf 1001.
On the water there Is very little to
choose between the two eights. Har
vard's recovery Is beautiful, and it is
much cleaner than Yale's. The crim
son oars are also splendidly together.
Tho Yale shell, however, lacks tho
awkward hitch which has, up to this
time, characterized tho Harvard craft.
Neither crow has thus far given prom
ise of reaching to tho high stimurd of
their predecessors of WOO, and unless
water conditions are unusually favor
able, tho race, It is stated, will be
slower than that nf hist year. As a
general proposition It may bo added
that tho two crews are about equal as
to Kklll. Harvard seems to bo more
powerful, anil tho prediction would
seem safe that tho raco will depend
largely upon 11 question of endurance.

best of all-around racing cyclists,
has decided to discontinue sprint
racing, and will hereafter essay to gain
glory and dollars In tho mlddlo ills,

FAMOUS WHEKLMKN.
rrobably the most famous cyclist in
the world today is Jimmy Michael, tho
midget cycling wonder, who for years
has been acknowledged the fastest
man behind the pacing machines. The
championship of four countries, which
really means the championship of the
world, has been Michael's honor on a
number of occasions. Born in Wales,
Michael started riding in 'ill, winning
the championship In Cardiff. He dis
continued! his job as a butcher boy In
order to take up cycling, and his won
derful speed at home gave him courage
to visit Kngland in '113, "where he cap
tured first I101101B in every event. Dur
ing the year of '06 the diminutive
cyclist was the champion of France,
and after defeating all tho crack riders
came to America in the fall and scored
a notable victory over Starbuck at the
Quill Club meet.
Later in the year Michael lowered all
world's records from two to ton miles,
nnd it might bo said at this time that
no rider has ever held as many records
an the Welsh Rarebit." At different
times tho figures from two to one hun
dred miles, both against tinio and In
competition, have been credited to the
namo of Michael. Behind human pace
In '07 Michael defeated Tom Linton,
an old-time rival, for tho championship
of tho world. Ho ulsp scored over Mc
Dufile, Lesna and Chase, who was con
sidered the best middle-distance rider
of Kngland. Before tho largest crowd
that ever ntendod a blcyclo raco in
Madison Square Garden, Michael low
ered tho colors of Frank Starbuck, and
the lltle fellow has tho honor of hav
ing defeated every rider In America
wlii) essays to follow the pacing ma
chines. During '99 Michael, with n
bank account of probably $30,000,
thought the lioreio racing game more
suitable, and during the season min
gled with tho followers of tho "sport
of kings." Tho end nf tho year found
his bunk account somewhat depleted
owing to bis riding and betting on
slow horses instead of on fast ones,
so that In 1900 ho again took to the
racing game. He mot with excellent
.success last year, while this season, as
a member of the Columbia team, ho
has already scored a couple of notable
victories. Ho Is prepared to meet any
rider In the world In a paced rncif of
from twenty to fifty miles.
As itii amateur, Johnnie Nelson, ot
Chicago, repeatedly lowered records
and gavo promise of great ability when
he would graduate to the professional
ranks. That tills promise has been
fullllled Is proven by his extraordinary
work of bust year, when ho won 111010
races than any two riders In the busi
ness. Nelson conies from Swedish
parents, is twenty years of nge, and
Is rather small in build.
During tho year of 1900 Nelson scored
tho phenomenal record of thirty-eight
victories out of a total of forty-six
races, lowering tio colors of every
paced rider In America, excepting
Hikes, At Bridgeport on July Rh, he
beat tho world's record from threo to
thirty miles, whllo later In tho month,
at Charles River Park, bo was com
pelled to ngaiu lower records in order
to defeat Michael's, which ho did by
tho narrow margin nf twenty yards.
On the coast In tho spring Nelson
lowered Major Taylor's one-mile com
petition record of 1:412-5 to 1:371.5,
after tho dusky cider's figures had
withstood over flvo hundred nnced
races since '98, This season Nelson
promises unusually well, and during
tho week beginning Juno 10th he de
feated Champion on Monday night,
Tom Linton on Tuesday night, and
Stinson on Wednesday night, n record
without a parallel In cycle competi
t Ion. Nelson rides a Cleveland in all
his races and uses a 10.", gear,
The best representative of Frunec, so
far as middle-distance racing i con
cerned, Is now In America In tho per
son of Kdouard Taylore, better known
as "French Tuylore." This Is his third
invasion of America,, and his record
proves beyond question that he should
jonas lonq'9 aova.

Rnotlly portion of American dollars and
honors. 'Ho was born in Paris twenty-one
years aso, and started racing
when sixteen years old. The diminu
tive French lad did excellent work as
nn amateur In '9G, winning the chain-,
pionsliip of Paris. Next year us ti pro
fessional lie broke the Indoor hour rec
ord, in addition to winning a fifty kilo,

STAGE EARNINGS.
What the Season Juat Closed Has
Brought to the Stars.
William Gillette has gained more
money than any other person on the
American stage this season, hays a
manager In Everybody's Magazine,
That Isn't haying he drew more Into
the theatre, but his income combined
that of the author of the play he used,
the star tint or of the lending role, and
half the profits of the business enter
pilse, No doubt the aggregate was
$2,000 n week 'for forty weeks, nnd it
may have been much more. 1 be
lieve that the most remunerated dozen
American actresses dining the same
season wore, in tho order I name them,
Maude Adams, Leslie Carter, Julia
Marlowe, Minnlo Madderu Flake, Olga
Netliersolo, Viola Allen, May Invlu,
Annie Russell, Mary Mantioring, Kthcl
Rarrymoro, Ada Rohan nnd Henrietta
t'rosnian. 1 am sure that Miss Adams
came first, Mrs. Carter second, and
Miss Marlnwo tfrlrd'in earnings, if not
in their Individual shares, Miss Adams
and Mr. Carter wore made stnrs of by
their manager, nnd no outsider knows
tho terms of tho contracts, but I fancy
that each actress Is between 150,000
nnd $"5,000 better off than kIio was n
year ago,
Miss Marlowe controls her own bus!,
ness, nnd nil tlio profits of it acctiro to
lior alone so it Is posbh that she
goes ahead ef either of the others
In money for her own hank account.
Miss Netheisolo, too, Is her own man
ager, but her season was shortened

ELECTRIC
SPLENDOR
ILLUMINATION OF THE GREAT
PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION.
Beautiful Effects to Be Produced.
The Climax of the Great Lighting
Scheme to Be at the Electric Tower.
A Magnificent Spectacle.
Tho description of tho manner in
which the buildings and grounds of
tho. exposition are to bo Illumined, as
given by Mr. Henry Ttustin, chief of
the mechanical and electrical bureau,
is a graphic one. Ho says: Utility is
tho llrst point to bo aimed at in light
ing tho Pan-American exposition.
"When OKI Sol ceases to furnish light
to guide the visitor and reveal tho
wonders of the exposition, a substi
tute will bo provided, in providing
this substitute an opportunity is of
fered to produce beautiful decorative
effects, nnd this is the second point to
bn aimed at. Decorative lighting may
servo to bo of utility In lighting up nn
area.
In providing for this double purpose
of utility and beauty It must bo con
stantly borno in mind that the sup
ports for the lights shall not bo ob
structions In the daytime or be out of
harmony with tho general sotting, and
though, while In the daytime they
servo no lighting purpose whatever, at
night such supports become all Im
portant. It is intended that the lighting in the
Esplanade, while maintaining tho
lighting unit throughout, which Is es
.irntial for the purpose of trafllc, shall
be increased In decorative effect grad
ually from tho entrance to tho sur
roundings nf tho EleotlAo Towor.j
which location lins been designed as
tho climax of electrical and fountain
effects.
Advantage has been taken through
out tho grounds nf tho different pat
terns of details of staff to produce an
effect nf translticenoy of tho staff It-s-eir.
While tho light will stand out
plainly, there will bo no vlslhlo evi
dence of Its source,
The foiintnin displays throughout
tho courts will follow tho same Idea
as the lights, and the climax will he at
the Electric Tower, In short, as the
Islton advances toward the big conter
jilece of the exposition ho will realize
that all tho decorative effects Increase
from tho fpilet to the strenuous,
though the change will bo ,o gradual
as to ho almost imperceptible.
Tho lights and water will ho of the
same tone. The sky lines will bo de
llned by tho United States government
group of buildings on tho east nnd the
horticultural group on tho west. Thus
tho effects will ho nicely framed.
In tlio Fountain of Man the motion
ot tho water will be very quiet. In
the Fountain of Abundance, at the foot
0.' the Coutr of Fountains, the motion
Will ho rapid, giving the effect of n
great qunulity of water, a the name
implies, In order to complete the paral
lel of effects of light and water. Tho
basin of tho Court of Fountains will
be flllod with large jets of water
thrown vertically and called pillar jets,
all illuminated with circles of Incan
descent lights taken up by tho project
ed water, nnd will bo again reflected
on the surface of the basin by the
water in agitation , from the falling
drops.
In this basin also will tic located
groups of water Igures, formed by tho
manner in which the water is projected
into the shape ibf large wheat sheavca

and lilies. There will be eleven or more
of these water figures, about twelve
feet high, on the center axis of the
Court of ounFtalns.
There will be a group of statuary
representing the Genius of Water
Just north of the Court of Fountains
basin. In front of this group water
will bo made to boll in a rnannner
serving to carry out the sculptor's
idea. It will bo In constant violent
agitation, rising to a height of four or
five feet above the level ot the sur
rounding water In the basin.
CLIMAX OF EFFECTS.
The climax of the spectacular light
ing effects will bo reached In the basin
in front of the Electric Tower and of
tho water effects in tho niche in the
tower, which is 70 feet above the ba
sin. On each side of the central axis
of the structure will be located two
groups of jots of water, with 26 large
pillar jets, throwing water to a height
of 50 feet. On the arc ot the circle
whose center Is the niche In the tower
will be located some 42 large jots,
throwing water In parabola cu'nves to
ward the cascade In front of the niche.
These jets will bo arranged so as to
make a very ragged stream that is to
say, not broken up as much as in the
spray jets. From the niche itself wa
ter will bo thrown hy means of a de
flector, breaking tho entire volume
1?,000 gallons per minute Into an im
mense water screen.
Tho arrangement of the color disks
to blend the prismatic colors of light
thrown on tha water in front of the
Electric; Towen Svill be operated so as
to produce a pradual but constant play
of changing colors.
The decorative lighting of the build
ings In tho grounds takes advantage
ot tho manyi designs In staff and
brings them out cither with translu
cent effects or outlined with points of
light. Advantage Is also taken of the
numerous towers nnd domes to produce
a starry effect and tho Illusion of an
infinite number of points of light.
Effects of surpii'islng beauty will bt
produced In the courts. As an in
stance, In tho semicircle around the
Fountain of Abundance there will be
a bed of most beautiful flowers, which
will bo Illuminated at night so as? to ,
bring out all their delicate colors..
Tho electric, lamps for this purposs
will bo concealed, nnd their light will'
bo entirely absorbed In the bloom of
the (lowers, making ono of the pretti
est effects imaginable,
Many problems of electrical Illumin
ation, with particular regard to their
decorntlvo effects, which have in the
past? baflled solution, have been made
plain by later study and experiment?
