Xew Cup Defender Exiil-i'ioii to
Outsail the Old One at
Trial:!.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Bristol. R. I.. March 2S.-That the new
Belmont Syndicate cup defender will be far
superior to the Columbia Is not questioned
for an Instant by any of the old-timers who
have worked on all the cup defenders De
signer Nat turned out. One of the sallmak-""Cr.-
said Wednesday:
"The new yacht will carry more sail than
the Columbia, how much I am not at liber
ty to say, but you may depend upon It
that the Lawson boat will not have much
advantage In rail-carrying capacity or ac
,'tual spread. Moreover. Captain Nat has
calculated that with a higher centerboard.
raised weights in the steel spars, and a far
easier form to drlvp. n ten-minute jraln over
Columbia" in thirty miles of sailing should
be easy.
"The Columbia Is to act as trial horse for
Captain Nat's yacht, and there Is no doubt
that AV. Butler Duncan Intends she shall
- have the most thorough trying-out ever
given a cup defender since the days of
Vigilant, Coioma and Jubilee. The Colum
bia is to be brought here early next month."

Mr. Menow's White' Wings, the best

Enlm Pasha did not knick with tha White

Is a good bet that the Enlm Pasha-White

AMATEURS TO WRESTLE
FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
Maxey Wiley of Bochestrr. X. V.. and
Henry Abeken of St. Louis, member of
Concordia Turnverein. will meet on the mat
at the Fourteenth Street Theater I-'riday
niglit. The boys will wrestle best two out
of three falls' esteh-ns-catch-can style.
Each bout will be limited to twenty minutes,
with ten minutes Intermission. If no fall is
seciiml in thrfe twenty-minute bouts' the
referee will order a fourth. The contest is
practically to a finish.
Wiley has only Inn' thrown once In J1I1
entire career of about live years as a
wrestler. , Jor.cph Schmiirk'-r of Pittsburg.
Pa., threw Wiley in the last few seconds
of their bout In that city, where the last
amateur championship of the A. A. I', tool:
place, ljst winter.
Wiley is very anxious to get .another
chance with Schmtickrr. Mai Doyle, who
aitnnged the match b,tw("-n Max Wiley and
Henry Abeken. has a promise from
Sclirnucker to nfet Abeken. If he win-
Fchmaclter lias this to say In regard to
Wiley:
"If Abeken wins' I will meet him. Walt
until Abeken gets through with Wiley, as
I consider him a nar.il-bcntcr In the wiest
ling line and Abeken Is going up against
the hardest proposition he ever tackled.
Stick a pin in this and see If I am 11 t
right. Wiley knows all the tri-ksi and has
great strength to bark them up."
Abeken is working faithfully for the bout.
"I am in line shape and will do my Iiest.
Wiley will have to 'show me.' "
fieoige Paptlste thinks more of Henrv
AbeKen's ability as ;t wrestler than any
pupil lie has ever had.
'Mark my word," slid Haptlste. "there's
a surprise In store for Wiley. 1 consider
Abeken a better man than McKadden was
in Ills prime. Henry Is in superb condition
ently the mot popular win made here in
the history of the old track.

HEPUBLir. SPECIAL.
Daltimore, Md., March 2S. Manager Mc

to-day. bringing with him James Williams
and Michael Doalln, secured from Pitts
burg and St. Louis, respectively, and Aleck
Smith, who ha3 been released uy Brooklyn
to New York, but who wants to play here.
McGraw has the contracts of Williams
and Donlln safe in his inside pocket. Wil
liams appeared at Hot Springs last Satur
ciav. He had had no cummunicition wun Mc
Graw previously, but it did not take the
Baltimore man long to tind out that he
had not signed with Pittsburg. He of
fered Wilhum.i a salary that touched the
soft spot, and in a few minutes a new
Oriole had replaced an ex-Pirate.
Dunlin's case is somewhat peculiar. He
signed an old contract with St. Louis sev
eral months ago, and received advance,

Players' Association was sent for his

Manager Donovan of the St. Ixntls Ilase
bt.li Club ennutmeed that he had signed
Pitcher Ilreltenstein. Lite of Cincinnati, to

fact that Catcher John Itynn. late of Bos
ton anil Dctro.t. and Pitcher Moore of tho
Dayton, O..'toiin, had alsj sign.cl contract 4
with the St. lyiiii.s club.
Tlie acquisition of Rreltcnsteln is a wel

. greatest pitcher in tha country. He has
; been pitching lair lull for the past two
j seasons for Cincinnati. It has been felt
, that he was saving Iiltnif for future rcfer
! ence while ht-re. Cincinnati is an odd town
In a baseball way. Players, patrons, crit
ics et al. have gut the game down to a
line science. They regard it simply an a
lusinets. It is a matter of bread and but
ter and dollars and cents with them. The
newspapers there have caused the player to
be mote concerned about the holding if his
job timn playing the game of baseball. Any
111:111 afraid of his job never amounts to it
hill of Ii. ans. When a man works simply
te hold his job It Is high time he was pre
vented lrom holding it. But that Is how
they work ill Cincinnati.

There never was a gamer, harder working
player titan iireltenstein was In the old
days when lie had eight amateurs back of
him. He must be so again.
isriitenstein never lost his speed. Ills
curve ball grew narrow of late years. Last
seaicn his bender was not six inches wide,
ll is said he was not taking chances with
his arm, making it break wide or quick.
In the- fall ol Isiii Hreite-nstcin was so,d by
St. Louis to the Cincinnati club lor Ss.w).
H.s recent release probably did not cost St.
Louis very tiuch. Bieltelisteiu was born
anil reared around Glasgow and St. Louis

His uisiory Is too well known to bear re
capitulation. He pitched lor tne Home Coiii

Dnvls Is Sow In the West to Corral
(llil and Xeir Player.
REPUBLIC SI'KCIAL.
New York. March 29. "Instead of our
pitching Htaff being weakened this year,"
said Secretary Knowles of the New York
Baseball Club Wednesday, we are strength
ening ittgradually with youm; material who
will work hard from the start to win
games."
Mr. Knowles made the announcement that
Manager George Davis, who is now In Chi
cago, nan succeeded In signing C. B. Fisher,
the star. pitcher of the Chicago American
League Club last year. Fisher won more
than two-thirds of his games last year, and,
although his average of winning games was
not iiulte up tuMhat of Waddeli, or two or
three of the others. hi3 ability in the box,
together with his record on the field, and
at the bat marked him as the most valuable
pitcher in the American League. Fisher is
young in the game, and just the kind of a
man New York needs valuable now as well
as in the years to come. The pitching staff
of the giants up to date is composed of
Fisher, Matthcwson. Taylor and Doheny.
The deal with Mercer has not yet been de
clared off. He may sign with New York,
but he will not receive the salary he has
been asking, which is considered exorbitant.
Mercer is likely to lower his rates. Man
ager Davis will confer with both Carrlck
and Hawley before returning from the
West, and, should he fall to sign them, he
ha.o been Instructed to take a couple of
other pitchers In the West that the New
York club has been In communication with
the past few weeks.
Duke Farrell. the Brooklyn catcher, has
reported in Brooklyn for duty. He looks to
bo in the best of health and snvs he will
be In condition in a few weeks. Farrell
never had any intention of quitting Brook
lyn, and he will do his utmost to remain
in his old position behind the hat. There
was talk of plhclng Farrell on llrst base
luring Jennings's happy days at Cornell,
where he will coach the Ithacans until
about June 20.
"My days at first are past." said Farrell,
AVedncsdav. "and catching is good enough
for me.' It is a eate of rood man in goo.i
place. Farrell fills the bill.
Zlmmer's return to the game Is no more
than was epected. Harry Pullinm, secre
tary ot the Pittsburg club, induced lilm to
reconsider his retirement and Ximmsr will
be with the other members of the team
when they start fcr Hot Springs for early
practice on Saturday night.
Milwaukee dispatches continue to boom
"Pink" Hawley's stock. Haw Icy. it is re
ported, is in great demand by both
leagues. It Is alleged that he has an offer
or S.I.OOO from the American League, and
that Andrew Frccdman will have to moro
than match this offer. Hawley says he will
sign with the highest bidder. Davis is to
meet him to-morrow.

C.OSSII" OF TIIK HASniIALL FIELD.
Member of Hi. I.onli Clnii !)lUl tl
Game- Personal .Votes.
Men nSo would hold concessions, keep
gates and net ns police about League Park
want tn see Mr. Ilellbroner very badly.
Mr. Ilellbroner is not to be found. It is
hint.d that he has his nose deep on the
trail of Hub Wood, the catcher, who pliyed
with I'inclnrat! National and Chicago
American last season. Wood Is well re
membered in St. Louis as the man who
took a header Into the backstop one hot
Sunday in 1S33, when Zcke Wilson was
busy robbing lireitenstein of a game. He
Is a good hitter, a 'strong thrower and not
a had man nnvwhere. He lacks what a lot
of physically perfect players lack brains
to play the game with.
"If young Harper ban acquired a little
control he will be heard from in this
League," spake Joe Cjuinn. "I had him
with me in Cleveland In 1SS9. He has all
due curves, nice speed, can Held a lot and
Is more than an average pitcher with the
bat and on the bags. He can play in the
in or outfield In a pinch, too."
Mike Griffin is still on the reserve list of
the St. Louis club. In 1SSS Mike wan the
greatest center fielder In the world. To-day-he
Is more thoroughly forgotten than the
names of the brave sailors who went with
Hobson to sink the Meramec. Time is a
great wrecker of memory.
Ilurkctt does not like the new rules made
by the National League.
"That rule penalizing the pitcher with
only a hall for hitting a hatter Is a very
bad one." said the great hitter. "My word
on it. some of tho.-e pitchers will be bound
leg favt one3 off the batter's ribs this
season. You trust them to crimp a feliow
who has been hitting them. After you have
rapped a twlrler two or three times in a
game, he does not feel a bit kindly toward
you. He may be losing his grip in fast
company, as it were, jind. feeling a bit
desperate, may take to driving batters
ilway from tho nlute with fast balls sent
close to nerve centers. Now, when a bum
pitcher gets to doing this, what la the good
pitcher to do? Take a man like Nichols,
who never hit a batter. The men whom the
bad pitchers have been driving away from
tho plate will stand up to 'Kid,' knowing
that he will r.ot hit them. Consequently, he
will be hit far harder than .pitchers who
nro not at all his equals. In the course cf
time he wll' be obliged to lesort to hitting
men In order to maintain his effectiveness."
There were two things which operated to
drive Cv Young into th-j American Lsague,"
spoke Rob Wmlace. "One was that he daPi
not like warm weather, such as we have nil
summer In SL Louis. Cy Is a great cold
weather man. He will get just what suits
him In Boston. Another was that new rule
which allows pitchers to hit a batter .with I
a pitched ball wltn tne sngnt penalty m
having a ball called on them. Cy never
would soak a hitter. He paw that this ruli
would give those pitchers who made a prac
tice of hitting batters several shades the
best of it. So he went to th? American,
where such rules are not In force. Yon may
have observed that he did hot sign any con
tract until the Ameriacn League decided
not to tamper with the old rules. Then Cv
slcncd."
"This will be a great season for Burkett."
spake Willie Sudhoff. "I look for him to
break all batting records. You see three or
four great third basemen have left the Na-tlonal-McGraw,
Collins and William" have
gone. These men were wonders on bunts
and balls hit toward third. Such hitting Is
jce's Haglan. As a matter of fact, the
only really high-class third baseman left in
the Le-nguc Is Wallace. McGraw. Collins.
Wiliams' and Cross, four of the best, are

that several pitchers who were effective
against him have departed. Garvin is one

very hadly. Donovan Is not going to let ,
William go to Baltimore. j
Frank Pears is coaching the High School
baseball team. If the youngsters scoured
the country over they could not find a bet
ter man.
Victor King, who is in some way related
to Itoderick Wallace, is said to possess
manv of the constituents of a good !n
fielcler. Donovan had him signed for the
Piitnhnrs club some seasons back. Thoueh
a brilliant ball player nt that time-, he
was voted too young and too light. Since
then he has aged nnd thickened. Wallace
vouches f.r him. Wallace may not be a
good judge of a player, but It is quite cer
tain that he would not knowingly vouch
for a dead one. knowing him to he such.
Good reports' of Childs, the infielder se
cured from Utica, N. Y.. keep coming In.
They say that he is quite a handy lad with
the wattle.
Jack O'Connor Is In town settling up some
private business preparatory to going to
Hot Springs with the Pittsburg club. He
wtrks out every day with Burkett and Don
ovan at League Park.
Donovan likes th'e new hit by pitcher
rule about as well as Burkett did. "It Is a
very bad rule." sdith the manager. "I as
sure you being hit once good nnd plenty is
enough to ruin any batter man as a batter.
Look at Billy Nash. Fraser McGee nailed
him once. In the prime of his career and
stopped him for all time. Then look nt Wal
lace. Fraser hit him on the cheek bone and
laid him out. If Wallace was not a man
of wonderful nerve he would have gone
Nash's way. Luckily, he was a younger
and stronger man. As It was, that lick
hurt his hattlng'ov'er fifty pointy. He never
got back into his old confident way of step
ping Into a ball and larruping It to left
field, as he u?ed to do. You know no one
hits them cleaner or harder, but they go
so nlcrty at the second baseman and center
fielder. I have great fear about the work
ing of that rule." ,
It Is, said that .some of the teams of the
American League, such' at Cleveland and
Detroit, which are forbidden to play bise
ball en Sundays by the blue laws of their
own cities, will take advantage of the
Continental Sabbath which exists In St.
Louis to come hither on that day and pl.iy
championthlp games. Athletic Park Is to b
th2 alleged trystlng spot of thess athl.uic
chasers of the dollar. Although baseball
reporters are ever prating of local pride be
ing essential to the success of a baseball'
speculation, thete are those to be found who
believe that teams like Cleveland and De
troit would draw great ctowds In St. Louis.
As f.tr as consistency of argument gde the
average baseball reporter is about as con
sistent a3 the average neurotic dame of
fashion.
It has been stated that the Chicago Amer
ican League club was lo play a game with
the Milwaukee club at Athletic Park next
Sunday, nnd, that It would continue to train
there during the early days of Aorii. Now
It la stated that, owing to the alleged defec

club, Comiskey has scratch"! St. Louis oft

Dread of Smallpox.
A few cases ot smallpox In a large city
will start a scare that will fill the news
papers and cause a wave of apprehension,
to pass over the entire country. It Is a dis
ease that people shun with horror and
loathing, yet here In our own State there
Is a malady far worse, far more fatal, and
yet people Ignore it. Heart disease Is. ro
Insidious, so subtle In its coming, that fesv
people realize they have it until the strokes
come? and they are beyond all aid.- Tha
symptoms of heart disease Itself are not
alarming, and the sufferer thinks he-has a
slight cold or a little rheumatism, or has
overworked, until at his business, in the
cars or at home, he drops dead.
Perhaps you arc a sufferer from heart
disease and have felt these symptoms with
out knowing what they meant. Perhaps
your heart flntters or palpitates, perhaps
you have shortness of breath, a pressed
feeling in the chest, choking sensation In
the throat, fainting spells, oizzlness, spots
before the eyes, bad turns, inability to lio
nn the- left side, sudden startlnz In sleen.
icold hands or feet, swelling of the ankles.
'If so vou should not delay one Instant.

for over two years and could not get out of
