The pational game ‘at the West will posses moro' interest in 1876 -than for the past two or throo years, byrcason of the now professional clobs at St. Louis and Keokok. -1t will bo an easy matter for the Chicagos to takearan to St Louis and beat that club, and then take s trip to Eookuk end donble up the ciub that aspires to tho championship from that burg. DBut it must bs confessod, from the appearance’ of things ‘now, the East has tho best of the ball-tossers, notwithstanding Cant. Wood's assertions to the coxtrary, and when the Whites teke a trip down that way, it will be a surprise to many. if they como back conquerors of even balf tho games. Bat, then, kaso ball is very uncertain, and it is ano of “those things no fellow can find out” when 2 club’ will whitewash the champion Postons nino times, and then gat beaten tho next day four to one by the samo red legs.” Thero is this 40 be eaid for cur Iast season’s club, however, the whitewash brush was never applied to ik while every other professional nine in the coun- try have a game in their score-boolk in which not ‘a°ron was scored on their gide. ~ Chicago did the business for two of them, the Bostons and Ath- Ictice, but the Whites have on their record a gamo with the Mntuals of 33 to 1, zad the ‘Whites didn’t score the 38. THE CLTPS NOW FoRING for 1375 will show more smalours turned profes- sionals than has been noticed of lato years. Oue club, tho naw Contennial, of Philadelphia, of which the ranagers expect great things, is made up, with two cxceptions, of amateurs. Thers :will bo quito & number of well-known ball-pley- ers shelved this coming soason, eoms of whom hevo figured in contests for the ‘past six years. Those who take an interest in the game con look throagh the following list of professional ciubs -for 1875, and judgo of the ralative siroogth of each, If they can pick out the club that will win the ponnant, and back it up with greeabacks, “there's millions in1t” ; but they will do better to woit awhile. There seems to Do sz wen- derfo) amonnt of *revolvicg ™ zmong a few of ihe professionzls. Dardook, for instance, is claimed by the Hertfords, Chicngos, Alutnals, and Athlatics. It would scem to'be the bétter policy to expsl such & man from -the National Aseoointion, if proven guilty of breach of con- _especinlly the Koolik feilowa. troot in writing, than to force him to playin o *ninn sgainst his will, where he can do incalculn- -ble hatm in such a way that no direct chargo can ‘be brought against him. Durdock says be will -plsy with the Hartfords, and in thal nine only. ‘Foree would reem t0 be in demand slsg, the Athlotics aud Ohicagos ¢laiming him. ths former Tithont eny good gro ever, though they assers that he gigned with them frst. THE CEICAGOS. ‘The 75 nine of the \White Stookings has besn ‘pablished several times, yot. as the nines are _now nearly all mado up for, the coming coutests, it will be a8 well to publish the namos of those who will do battle on the diamond field for Chi- ©ag0 next gaason, for the eako of comparison with the other clubs.- It can be said of the former Chicago nines that they bhavo ecored tho most brilliant gomes snd sustaiued tho most crushing dbfeats of sty professional club in the country. Tho club now stands: -Zeitlein, pitcher ; Hastings and Higham, calch- ers ; Glenn and Devlin, first base ; Peters and .Eeorl, eccond bace; Force, ehort stop; W. -White, third base and Captain ; Bielaski, centre fiold ; Hines, left ficld. Higham or Haslings will plsy right field. Caps. ¥ood consders this . nire par excallence, and it is to be hoped it is an improvement on thoclub of the past year. Kigham, :an old Mutoal player. is a_first-closs catcher, batsman, and ficlder, but he belongs to D0 temperance band, and it wonid be woll whoa ho comes to thia city to havo him join obe. ‘Eastingaisa good batter, and his rocord with the Harilords as catchor is an excellont one. Warien Waite, of the Baltimores, has o firet- .claes reputation as s third basoman, and is said to bo A sure batter. Diclacki 1s also a good player. Eeerl used to bo a good fielder, but oor at the bat. His practice with the Maple La{s may have improved him in that respect. Tho remainder of the players are well known. Somo of them plsy brilliantly ove dr¥ 20d ' go &ll to pieces ” tho next. They havo their dzys. . THE DOSTONS. Tho champions retsin the Eamo pleyors for Dext year, with one cxception. Hall goes to the | “Athlctics, and Mouning, of the Baltimores, re- turns to tho Bostons, with whom ke played in -1878. The club is a good one, and the mem- bers of it havo the advantsge of thorough ac- unintanceship with each other's play, If palding is not the best pitcher, hie can certainly lay claim to be tho beet baseman among tho ‘pitchers. The way ho_has * corked Zettloin all over the field has been witnessed many o #imo and off. Goorgohas nover retaliated, but rhaps he will some timo. The nine is a3 fol- ows : ‘Bpalding, pitcher; White or McVey, eatcher ; O'Rourke, first baes; Barnes, ecoond baso: Schafer, third baso; George Wright, ehort-stop ; Harry Wright, centrs ficld and Cap- tain ;. Leonard, left field : Manning, right - field. Deals, substitute, Tho ‘rod-legged gentlemen will no doubt do their * littlo utmost to Loep the pennant at the Hab for still another season. THE UARTFORDS. > The ‘“Wooden Nutmeg" Stato will surely not bo at the foot of the list noxt year, 2s it has beg: this, for Hartford has 3 team that has causcd Capt. Harry Wnfil\t to Jook pale. He will find “that ho'cannot win rino consecutive pames from tbo club in 1875, eithongh be did succeed in do- ing it the past season. Ono of tho priucipal per- .sons conearned _in getting the present nine was Garshom B. Hubbell, an ex-billiardist of celobri- 1y, ond be pive s a rastling one. There may be some. changes before ball-plsying ecommences. The namos announced are as follows: Pond, _pitoher; Alllso. catelier; Dille, firse base; Lar- ‘dock, second baso; Ferguson, third-base and iCantain; Caray, rhort stop; Lemsen, contro (fold:, York, left fietd.

'They are go- ing to try it nzain, howover, and the aames pub- lished are just as good, if nov botier, than those of the pess acason.

Tho pames ara probably mven out by friends of the olubs to atrengthen them on paper; buk it must hurt the ‘Yoputstion of players to 0o classed as “ rovolv- ers.” Malone and Holdsworth are aleo mentioned as having * gigned the papors” to play.

PLINDFOLDED MARESMEN. A novalty in the way of ehooting-matches wan tricd on Staten leland last week, It consisted in ehootiog blindfold, depending npon hesring, aod not sight, for theaim. Tho distanc wes 380 fect, nad tho iocation of the bull's eyo was indicatod by tha turning of 3 racket-wheal op- erntod by & boy at tho ond of a long string, and makicg a noisa like tho policoman's ratile in ‘*Humpiy Dampty.” The fist shooter was o Ar. Gardner, whose head was covered with a thick bag, and he was thon tarned arouad thros times 80 o3 to confuso his notions as to the lozation of the target ns much as possible, Tlus scheme worked to o clarm, tho marizmea mmiog their gucaia so many difforont diroctions that tho speciasors fled in great alazm, and the boy who pulled the string connoeted - with tho tattlo got badly de- moralized. Ficall, Gardnor agein took his position, listevel wtontly to the clicking, facod 1t gradeally, and fired. The bullet struck the target i tha upper right-band coraer, barely ca- caping o wis3. Godnoy tried noxt, and missed tho tacgat. Falk made o still wilder attempt, at firat aimiag well, bat changing 1t bsfora hs iroJ toatloast 19 feot wido of tho target. Luniz then made a good shat, hitting tho target abont 2 feot from tha caatre.

Thus, Gardner, Luntz, Falz, and Gootz had oach hit the tarze’ once whan the third round was begnu. Tho contost was nlmgly a3 to which should ‘malke the best shot in threo trisls, sud to beat Goetz it was necessary to get closer than 6 inchos to the bull's-oye. Gardoor missed the targat.

Thero are gen- crally more porsons present thon, unless soma importart cago is on trial, than usually attond tho sosions, and very few better opportunities sre afforded for studying human nature. Tho principal attraction is, of conrso, ths convicts, who are of. all ages, from the boy of 10 to tho ofd man of 70, and tho girl of 15 to tho bloated femsle of 40.
