TRAINING THE CATCHER.

Bow He Should ltcgla Work—Ton th#nine the Hudt.

The training of the catcher has in it less Tarioty, and is in consequence far more tedious than that of the pitcher. Tho work of strengthening tho muscles of the shoulder and arm is the same as that described for the pitcher but in the throwing practice the catcher should •devote his attention to tho short-arm throw. He should begin at tho short •distance of perhaps fifty feet, and increase that distance very gradually. In fact, he ought, even when he can readily throw the full distance from home to second with comparative ease, to do mostjf Uii^Ving thirds that distanco. After tho nine h** ^Je?un work in the field, it is rJt

much of the full-

distance throwing safe for any catcher who wishes to bare bis arm in good condition.

The position of the feet in throwing is all important. If he bo a strong man of moderate weight, ho can and should throw without changing the position of his feet. To this object his gymnasium practice should bo devoted. Standing steadily upon his feet in tho exact position assumed at the moment of catching tho ball, ho should, with a slight swing at the hips, be able to send the ball down. Throwing in a capo with a low ceiling is the best thing possible for him, as it forces him to throw hard and on a lino. A point of catcher's practice, which does not enter into the work of tho pitcher, is that of toughening the hands. Rowing on tho machines, climbing the rope, swinging on the flyingrinses, and hand-ball, if there be any court for that excellent game, will all tend toward this end. He should consider, however, that it is not morely toughening the tkin of the hands that is desirable, but also hardening the flesh so that it is not easily bruised. For this reason, ho should "pass ball" without gloves regularly overy day. At tho outset ho should receive no swift balls, and should stop at tho first feeling of any thing beyond a moderate tingling of the palms. II is hands should receive their full preparatory hardening before he goes out into the field, for ordinary carefalness demands that ho should do no- catching behind tho bat after the season commences except with bands thoroughly protected by well-padded gloves. What is commonly called a "stono bruise"'is ono of the tenderest and most lasting memontoes of carelessness in this respect.

In his gymnasium practice ho should wear tho mask. This seems to most catchers a useless bore but the captain or coach should insist upon it, and tho mask should become almost a part of tho catcher himself. All his throwing and passing should bo performed with his oyes behind its wiros, in order that, from becoming thoroughly accustomed to it, it may add no inconvonionce to his work. Tho breastplate neod not bo so rigorously insisted upon, but ©von this should bo worn frequently. Tho righthand glove must always bo worn when practicing throwing, in order that this also shall oiTor no unusual difficulty in tho later-work. Many a catcher may think that it looks silly to stand up with a mask and glove on to throw at a mark but there is every reason for doing this, and he will himself appreciato tho valiio of such practice when he Btands accoutered. on the field behind tho batsman and with a runner-on: first.

As often as it is convenient, the catchcr, particularly if a novico, should have somo one to swing tho bat before him whilo.ho is Ypassing ball" in the gymnasium, lly tho time ho gets out-of-doors, ho should be thoroughly accustomed to tho closo proximity of the batsman.—Walter Camp, in St Nicholas.

A JUST INDICTMENT.

l'ropcrly

1H-lined.

Ono of the best summaries of the situation and of the truo status of the great war being waged by tho National League against Its new rival, tho Players'League,

AVO

find in a reoont issue

of Taggarts* Times, of Philadelphia. It is not so very long, but decidedly comprehensive, and Is a most effective indictment of the National Leagtm a»d •powerful plea lor the Players' League, llero it is: "Boiled down to solid fact, there only this difference between the National and Players* Leagues, viz. The latter elaim tho right to exist and do business, admitting at the same time that the League has this same right as well as anybody else who wants to form an organization, play ball and charge admission to the games, while the former deny the Players' this right, imagining that they have a patent right or monopoly on base-ball, and the sole claim to do business exclusively in the eight cities in which their clubs are located. This is a fact which can not be disputed. "Tho magnates refer to the Brotherhood men as wreckers. Pray, what have the Players done to wreck the game? Did they not fulfill their last year's contracts, then quietly organise a league I of their own and attend strictly to their I own business? Have they net shown I themselves capable business men and played good, honest ball ever since? Has anybody heard them 'sqneal about

the attendance or observed them doing ^no

any thing to bring scandal upon them,

or the good name of base-ball- 1 porcTOan

"On the other hand, wlmt have the va5n

magnates done? Didthey MJ offend

rr&w

self-respecting men.^ Anson say. heeould make a first-claw ^5?^ of Burkett if he had him. ent Did they not sour ^i^ by bring- |#g7mana^r

ing uncallod-for lawsuits against pi 1# niaTcr hasn't it in him. ers to harass, annoy and bluff them and then go into open court and wash dirty base-hall linen in public? Bate they not since then endeavored to create apathy among the people by openly asserting! public print that base-bait is dead? Hare they not right along and are they not now a* work trying to wreck the new League? In short, are they not *w raising all the fuss that is

heinsr raised just now that tends to Injure the game? Who, then, are the real wreckers? "By doing their utmost to break np the Brotherhood and getting their old players back, the League makes an open confession of weakness that is, that their present players are not as good as those of the Players' League. Of course any mari who knows any thing about base-ball knows that the Players' League Is twice as strong as the National, only it looks funny now to have the latter admit such to be the case, by implication, after their bluster earlier in the season that they did not miss their old players, and guaranteeing their patrons as good ball as they ever furnished. Tho novelty of the new men is wearing oil rapidly, and now that it has come down to a question of ability and

the catchcr second anything like the nr^oe1" of times the majority c*f ptatg,tQrrs attempt daily. Only after the nine has been out-of-doors far two or three weeks is

ball playing, the newcomers

are not in it, and the magnates are beoomit^r convinced that ball players are not made in a day, and, like in every other profession, experience counts."

DIAMOND DUST.

The Brotherhood clubs will play exhibition games in St. Louis in October, but they won't play with tho Browns.

Catcher Decker did not leave Philadelphia with the Pittsburghs, and a falling out over back salary is hinted at.

Pitcher Shrove is rusticating at Star Island. He is in good shape, but is not likely to pitch any moro this season.

The Cleveland and Boston League clubs have arranged to play an exhibition game at Detroit, Sept. 23, an open date. "RaSty" Wright has signed a contraat to play with the Bradford (Pa.) club for tho balance of tho season for fifteen dollars a day.

Lowe is not batting as hard since bo rejoined the Bostons, and his enormous batting average has come down considerably.

None'of tho Atlantic magnates would shed any tears if Barnie's Orioles were to get it in the neck in the American Association.

Von der Ahe says he has spent 330,000 for players this season. Do with that as you do with attendance figures,gentle readers.

Ex-Manager W. P. McCaull,. ®1 tho Dubuque club, has assumed the editorial management of tho Monmouth, 111., •Journal.

It will seem sort of natural to Baltimore patrons to once more see the Orioles figure at the tail-end of tho Association procession.

Tho St. Paul club claims that Catcher Vrost, late of Peoria, signed with St. Louis aftor accepting the terms of Manager Watkins.

Bug ITolliday's spirits are affected by his batting, and when ho hits best he is loudest. At present ho is rather subdued.

Wallie Fessenden has been appointed substitute League umpire, to officiate in case of illness or absonce of the regular umpire.

The way Cliff Carroll has been playing ball this season has been a surprise to everybody. It was thought his ball days were over.

It is safe to say there will be a cyclone Of rumors and a hurricano of interviews from now out until the finish of the base-ball season.

Tho wonder of the season is tho third base play of "Chippy" McGarr, who was not strong enough for the Western Association last season.

It looks as if, instead of winning tho Association pennant, tho Browns will have their hands full to'keep second placo from Columbus.

Martin Sullivan is as- straight as a string this season, and -his flno work shows what ho is capable of nvhen he takes good care of himself.

Latham lost a big roll of bills in Cincinnati the other day, but this did not seem to worry him in the least. They •were tailor's bills.

Umplro Hurley, of the Illinois-Iowa League, has laid off owing to bad health, and one-legged Umpire Kilpatrick has taken his place.

Cleveland's young pitcher SToung, seems to bo a stayor. Ho is not a phenomenon in League company, but a steadily rising pitcher of promise.

Elmer Smith, of tho Kansas City's, hits the ball harder as tho season grows older. He promises to lead the country in homo runs this season.

Rochester is said to have paid Newark §1,000 for Gilbert and Miller, which is cheap if Rochester can manage to bold •the men for next season.

J. Palmer O'Neil claims to have$ut -nearly $30,000 in the Pittsburg club, and •expects to recover at least half that Bum, if -not all of it.

The rule requiring players to address the umpire as Mr. Umpire and to bo at times-respectfulin

tbeir

remarks to him

fe evldentlya dead letter. Glenalvia, Anson's jpoung second baseman, has braced up and is a fixture. He has been hitting tho ball hard and playing a fine fielding game.

Palmer O'Neil and Pitcher Bowman, late of the Pittsburgh League Club, are on tho outs. Back salary Is tho cause. Tho twlrier threatens suit.

Bradford has signed a new short istop named McLaughlin, and Yeungmanwill plav second base. Jack Rewe has teen released at his own request.

Charles Heifer, the noted first baseman and about the best in the ?*ew York State League, has quit ball playing and

'Jf %-j EASILY ACCOUNTED FOR.

Causes of T*t Present Smutll Difference in Fielding: Averages of'the Two Big

Iteagrues. Tho statistician who weekly, at probably great Sabor, compiles a lot of interesting record and ^average tables for the Boston tGlobe, talks -convincingly of -the causes of ttoe irowslight difference between the fielding-averages of the old and the new leagues. Says ho: "All baSH-players know the difference between fielding behind an effective pitcher and one who deceives the batsman but little »nd gets 'killed.' As batting averages go up fielding averages come down. As a rale perfect fielding goes with light-hitting contests. "I had occasion to-make a similar remark a year ago when an analysis of the records for the ifixst half of the season of 18S9 indicated that the batting was heavier and the fielding was correspondingly poorer ithan for the season of 188a "This £act wants 1 to be noted when comparing the records of the two leagues. An tnfielfler's position in the

Player's League, owing to the great increase in the batting, is much harder to fill acceptably than the same position in the National League. I should like to see McGarr, the 'cannon ball eater,' wrestling wiih the ball that Billy Nash sent down to Deacon WThite in Saturday's game. "Another fact must be borne in mind. The

Congress

street grounds are not as

even and level as a, narlor floor, and although Tim Manning has done all that a man could do, it is,impossible to get a turf infield in good shape in one season. The South End grounds are twenty years eld and .the infield is nearly perfect"

What the Globe says of the Boston team and ground will apply with equal force to every othe*»club in the Players' League except Buffalo, where there is no conflicting club And the team is •playing on a ground at'least a couple of years old.

Paris, the celebrated premiere dunseuse asoluta, and William Martini, well known as one of the cleverest grotesque dancers in the United States. Since its first production here "Bluebeard, Jr." has been seen at the principal theaters in the United States. Its remarkable runs at the Tremont Theater, Boston at Niblo's, New York, and in Philadelphia, where it was received with tho most ilattering enconiums of the press, has stamped it as one of the best attractions of the kind in this country, and it is admitted by
