In Tre TRIBUNE of Wednesday last appeared an article from the New York Merald, the drift of which was to show that a New York pools seller, named Seibert, had made an attempt ‘to corrupt Mathews of the Mutuals into selling out games for maney to him paid. The negotiation commenced when the Mutual Club were here, aud was carried on duriug their week at St. Louis. Mathews had acted in a manly way on receipt of the first overture, and had shown it to0 Manager Camnmeyer, and a plan was concoct- i to cateh Mr. Seibert. It was entirely suc- cessful, and the would-be corruptionist was nailed to the cross by the publication of a letter of his distinetly proffering Mathews $200 a game 10 sell out. It should be added that the Chica- go agent of Stibert was one Louderbeck, for- merly an employe of the W. U. T. Company, but since discharged. These disclosures were printed in two of the three Chicago morning papers, but the third wouldn’t give publicity to them, because 2 day or two previously it had asserted that the club managements were corrupt, and it couldn’t swallow its own words so quickly. THE POOL-SELLERS AND OTHER GAMBLERS, aswell of Chicago as New York, saw atonce, on reading the Seibert disclosure, that it would endanger their business of plucking the public by giving the latter anidea of the way jobs were put up on them; something must be done to throw dirt on the other side, and only one avenue was open. Of course they sent to that paper. In response to their request tney were furnished with a reporter, who wrote up their allegations in the form of interviews. Aboutall thattwo pool-sellers and Mr. Louderbeck would be jointly Tesponsible for was that the last- named was. a pure patriot, who assisted the pool-buyers to pluck each other fairly while the ‘poot-sellers captured their lon’s share of the money. It was, to eay the least, pleasing to wituess the unanimity with which all three of the men testified to the honesty and purity of intent of each other: One point, however, can hardly be passed overs it wasamatter of senceral potoriety when the Mutuals were about to play their last game with the Cincinnatis that certain parties here claimed to have “fixed thething? g0 that the Cincinnatis were to win. This was pubtished in Tue TRICONE, and with it the fact that the management of the Chicagos had teles graphed to Cammeyer, manager of the Mutuals, telling him to look out. It should be added to this, as a matter of g JUSTICE TO TIE MUTUAL CLUB, that the aispatch sent from liere to Mr. Cam- meyer in Cincinnati never reached him, for the first-class reason that he had gone home to Brooklyn two days before it was sent. It should therefore mot e considered at all in commenting on the action of the Mutuals. There mnever was, and’ is not now, a partidle of evidence that snybody ever attempted, or pro- posed, or thought of selling the game, and the Mutuels, without a manager or any other gov- ernor, simply went on and won the game, as thev had a right to. Concerning Mr. Louderbeck, who was so thoroughly vindicated (¥) by the joint testimo- 1y of men from whom he bought pools “as the agent of Mr. Seibert,” and who appears before the public in an attempt to_corrupt a ball- player, also as “an agent of Mr. Seibert,” it way be worth while 1o saya word: He is, he £ays, engaged in_supplying to pool-rooms and saloons Dere intelligence of games played clse- where; but the public don’t know what that weans. $ _ TIE METTOD IS AS FOLLOWS: Dauring the progress of a game, say in New Tork, the firm ot Louderbeck & Co. get three dispatches from _there, cach containing the re- sult of three innings. These cost the firin about &3 per game. They have (or had) twelve sub- seribers for this intelligence among the saloons and pool-rooms, and the rate charged was 40 cents per inning, or §3.60 per game. It is clear, then, that the twelve subscribers paid £43.20 for what cost Louderbeck & Co. 53, plus the cost of small boys to carry the messages around. It will not take the average reader long to see snother poiut in this method of deing business. It was stated above that Louderbeek & Co. re- celved one dispatch for cach three inning: When the first one came to hand he would copy off on manifold the first inning, and send it around to his subscribers. Theu betting would recommence furiously on the next inning, which the audience of betting men naturally supposed was then in process of playing, aud considerable sums would be wagercd that the Mutuals, for instance, would or would cot make a taily in | that jnning. All the while this betting was go- ing on the reader is asked to believe that Lou- derbeck, “THE AGENT FOR SEIBERT,” Lept the other two innings concealed, and never et any of Seibert’s money or his own on the result, and never gave a. ‘“‘pointer” to enybody to go over and pluck the Eimple” fools _who were Dbetting on inuings which had long ago been deddéd. By this system of threc-inning dispatches, the re- celver here has been certain of the result of a game before the seventh inning was posted in the pool-rooms. And yet the Simpleton who bets on innings is asked to believe that the pool-business is honestly carried on. Let us take an example well remembered in Chicago: dJune 15 the Chicago and Mutual Clubs played a game in Brooklyn, and at the end of the cighth Juning to score stood 4 to 2 in favor of Chicago. In the ninth inning the Mutuals made 4 2ud won the game. Every man who is fool enough 10 go into a pool-room habitually will remember that it was nearly an hour between the an- nouncement of the eight and ninth funings, 2ud In the meantime EAGER BUYERS WERE FOUND for every pool offered that the Mutuals }ronld ot score, or for the long odds that, the Chicagos would win. It almost passes belief that men should be credulous enough not to sce that one or two men in every pool-room had the result of the inufng and knew how the game had gone full thirty minutes Lefore it was posted. Dur- ing that time_they calmly plucked the public— or rather the idiots in the public who put them- selves in the way ta be plucked. That is only an example, and very few games have been played in which others wight not be found. A few words in a_general way on this pool- business may be of use tothe amateur gamblers of this aty who frequent gambling-rooms. Broadly speaking, the man who goes _into them 1o bet goes into them to be robbed—robbed just a5 dlearly gs if he were_assaulted on the high- way and deprived of Lis money by force. If he Dets on innings he istolerably sure to beopposed by & man who'is STAKING HIS MONEY ON A SURE THING, very likely with a telegram in his pocket giving the result of the inning he is betting on. course the averaze bettor may be on the risht side, and may win, but the chances are terribly against him.

The statutes are very strict tonching zambling, and if complaint were made cvery gambling pool-room could be closed, and every man who patronizes them punished. THE ATTITUDE OF THE CHICAGO, CLUD management has never been doubtful on the subject of pool-selling, or the envouragement of the practice. It has maintained the inflexi- ble rule of not encouraging or permitting bet- ting on any games it plays, so far asit could conirol the matter, At the beginning of the present season the management insisted thatthe Western Union Telegraph Company, which hasa telearaph wire to tiic grounds, should not fur- nish the pool-rooms with dispatehes, and carried their point. by threatening to dismiss the instra- mens and operator if thefr wish was not com- plied with. It has been, and the gamblers have not been able to boast even a connection by wire with the Chicago grounds. They have since Deen forced to keep up communication by boys and by means of th D. T. Co.’s wires from Twenty-second street. It is a matter of record that the pool-scllers and their friends have ap- plied in dozens of ways for 1 revacation of the urder, but it Las never been granteid, and proba- bly néver will be while the present Board of Di- rectors manage the adlairs of the Chicago Club, BASE BALL NOT A GAMBLING GAME. _There is a great truth about base-ball which lies back of all the stories that have been made public, and that is _that it is not from jts nature 4 gameto bet t is undoubtedly the finest alnletic exhibition in the'world, aud the most enjoyable. 1t should be played by gentlemen, and men of as much honor and honesty as_are found in uny otler pursuit of life. 1t has abso- Tutely nothing in common with dissipation, with the low life of the gumbler, or with the bummers who bang about the pool-box.

Not one of the present Club can be pointed out as the friend or companion of any member of the gambling or pool-selling. cluss. This is not much to their eredit, except as indis- tinction from last year,—it is just as it should e, not only it Chicago butin cvery ty that sustains basc-ball as an exhibition. It s, however, to the cternal eredit of the manage- mient that they have brought about this state of things, and they propose Lo keep it ufiu. Nothing can more clearly show the state of affuirs thin 4 conversation had a few days ago with a divine of this city, who belongs to one of the straightest sects. B SAID HE IN CONVERSATION. «Now, really, I should like- above all things to attend some of those games of ball; 1 used when 1 was in college to enjoy ball-playing bet- ter than any other sport.” “If you like the game, why don't you go; there cannot be auy warm iu it, can there?! “\Why, I read about players willfully losing games for pay, and I saw in a daily paper that one of the Chieago Club was the constant coni- panion of gamblers and a professional thief, and was_guilty of drunkenness and other ex- cesses. You would not ask me to encourage such men#” 1t was explained as clearly as possible that the class of men referred to were not in the Chicago Club any more, and that the particularly dis- reputable one had been adopted by Hart- ford, where he was said to have been reformed. It is proper to say that the reverend gentleman has since become one of the regular patrons of the Chicago games. TIHE TRUTI 1S, the pool-scller and hia gang have undertaken to Lang on to the outer edge of the game, and to e a living out of it, vut in order to do this v have sought to drag it down to their level. What do they care about the morals of the game or the players? Sinply nothing; and, in Tact, they would be pleased to have all the play- ers corrupt, because then thelr job of fleccing the greeny would be an casier one than now. But the truth of the matter is, the pluyers and the game are neither of them corrupt; they have STOOD OUT WELL azainst the temptations which have beset them, and Tue TRIUNE states the belief of all well- informed men when it says that there hasnot been any sort of proof of the sule of a single eame this year. And yet, in face of the utier ack of anything resembling a reasongble suspi- cion, theré are pool-scllers who assert that four clubs of the cight have been “ worked” by this man Seibert, who, unless circumstances be- lie him, is an infamous scoundrel. CHICAGO VS. CINCINNATI. The seventh game between the Chicago and Cincinnati Clubs, and the farewell contest of the Tliome nine for three weeks, drew a much better crowd to the Trwenty-third street grounds than was to have been expected when it is consid- ered that eix consecutive weeks' play has been served up to the Chicago admirers of the game, and that the contest yesterday was with the Club which occupics the position at the other end of the list from the Chicagos,—to put it mildly. Jones openedthe game by striking out, and the side was easily whitewashed. Barnes, on taking position, seemed to show a wish for a fair foul, and all the Cincinnati ficlders buddied around the foul line, and were conscquently much scandalized ot the conduct of Ross, who sent a long safe one between centre and left for two bases. To be sure, he reached third, but that was by the failure of Clack to hold the ball sent to him by Jones. After Peters had putup a fly to Sweasy, McVey showed what he intended t0 do by sending a very hard one smack against left-ficld fence, letting Barnes score *Wwhile he went to sccond. He was, however, left there. P'he second inning showed a round O for both sides of the score-sheet, but in the third the visitors scored their first run, Foley being the Jucky man. - Le led off with a safe one to right ficld, which got through the fence and into the seats while he took second. Snyder hit a hard onc over third base, and let Foley - reach third, whence e scored on Joues’ very long fly splendidly taken by Hines. The best single play of the game was shown in this inning, when Anson collared Booth’s sharp, high-line fly with one hand. The applause which greeted the sharp play of the Og of the nine was well deserved. The fourth inning also resulted ina douple Dlank, the score standingltolat the opening of the 6fth inning, the ficlding having been all along of the sharpest kind on both sides. In 1he visitors? half of the fifth, Dean led off with asafeone to left field, and secured second on sout. After Foley had given Hincs a (] Snyder brought” Dean home by a safe one to left, which was well hun,.\led by Glenn, but_ did not get to White Nite in time. This made the score 2tolin avor of the visitors, and gave the Whites some- thing to work for. Their rally was one of the pretiest picces of play of theyear. Barnes swas first man, but Dean knew too much to give hima chance at the ball, and so purposely gave lim his base. The case was ouc which called for running, and Barnes accordingly lit out for Sotond and reached It safely. Peters escorted a huge green log up to the iflnte, and when he hiad it fairly poised in air cll against the ball with such hearty good will that it went away out iuto the field, while Barnes came _ home. - The ficlder thought it possible to_catelt Barnes at home plate, n"d\l when be threw for the purpose, Peters glide down to sceond, McVey hit just down in 'lruut. of the plate, and wis toucked out by Foley, 13m.

Walsh, Louisville. ks THE NOTICEABLE POINT in yesterday’s game was, of course, the perfeet fielding of the home niue, who played their see- ond game of the year without an error. The greater part of the work fell to McVey, Barnes, and Peters, and whatever was dropped by the visitors was picked up in ting shape aud handled at first co perfection. The honors of the game were, however, carried off by Hines, who put out six haunds by good catches. Iis judiment and capture of Jones’ long Lt in the cighth in- ning was as clever a picce of ontiield ~play has been shown this season. A running cate by Glenn was also worthy of notice.

The only thing that stirred up_the crowd was Murnan’s home-run in the ninth inning. He stepped up toward the chalk-line, and_after one or_two patent taps stepped back and sent the ball to the right corner. Craver caught for the Mutuals in licks® place, he being very lame.

NEXT YEAR'S ENGAGEMENTS. A gentleman for wh opinion in ball mat- ters Tue TRIBUNE has a high regard asks that a table be made of all the players engaged for next year. In the following list will be found all whose engagements have beeu oflicially mnade known through the Secretary of the League as havine contracted for 1877: HARTFORD. Thomas I Bond, John J. Burdock, Thomas Y ork, Thomas Care7, W. A. Darbidge, Richard Higham. LOUISVILLE. J. A. Devlin, 5T, LOUIS, John E. Clapp, J. V. Dattin, 1i. J. Dehlman, ¥. C. Nichols, dJ. J. Rei David W. o C. W.

For some unexplained reason no notices have received of severnl other en ements Courier-Journal proclaimed some time Somerville und Ryau had been re-en no notitication of thut fact has been r and the above are all the engagements made publicso far. - Mr. Battin appears in the rather anomalous position of having signed to two clubs,—but. that is u matter forthe League. Three clubs, the Boston, Chicago, and Mutual, have as yet made 10 contracts for hest year. And this may be a good phace to drop @ paragraph fn answer to Several ietters addressed toTHETRInUNE asking why the Chicago Club management don'd cugage their — team for mext year. The answer i that Mr. Hulbert is doing just what is wisest under the circumstances; and, as he should Le given the credit for assembling the only first-class team Chicago ever had, so be should be let alone in his movements for 1877, He will do just what is best, no doubt. ANSWERS. A correspondent asks: *‘How were the three outs mude in the Chicugo's half of the seventh fonmg of the game of July 251 _Answer—Spalding was first at bat in that in- ning, and took firston an error by Kessler. Andrus was then put out by Eessler on a fly, —oncout. Glenn then hita fuir foul, taking first and sending Spalding to second. Barnes then struck three times at the ball and did not hitit. If Foley (c.) had held the third strike only one man would have been out, but he mulfted it purposely, thus forcing Barnes to run to first, Glenn to sccond, and Spiading to third. After Baviug recovercd the ball from the muft, Foley seut it to Booth at third, and it was held thercin time to put Spalding out,—two out. But Barnes had not even started to rum, and o the bull was sent over to first and put him out, —three out. Q.—How were the threc outs made by the Whites in the ninth lnning, same game? Answer—Peters struck out, McVey was run out by Gould and Sweasy after a_clen hit, and Anson was ficlded out by Sweasy to Gould. To the Editor of The Trivune. CHIcAGo, duly 1n the second Louisville game (18 10 0), Allison reached flret base in the ninth inning on ealled balls after two men were out. In your report of the game yon do not credit him with'a base hit nor do you charze Spalding withan error. Inalate issuc of Tue TrRIBUNE a player was not entitled to 1 hit under such circumsiances; this seems very dent, but it is not 50 plain why the pitcher should not be eharzed with an error. “Inthis case, if the following strikers hud made clean hits, thereby se- curing Allison's run, how should it be scored? Surely ft would not be earned, as he receives no credit for reaching first base, and _yet no error is churged to the deld. By explaining this geeming Snowmaly you will oblige number of your readers. Sooner. Answer—The mistake vou make is in insisting that nine called balls must result in either a base it or an error. Why should they any more than nine dead balls or niue foul pitchest Tywo-thirds of the bases on called balis made olf Spalding are by hard_hitters, to whom he does ot care to give good ball in a eriti Of course this was not the case w but when any first-class pitcher mal 5 of that kind it would be obviously unfair to charge bim with an error for what was wood play and good judgment. If anan was on see- P and another on third, with Barnes at bat, and a weak batter next, wouldn't it be guod pol- Barnes first rather than risk o Cadies of a dong hit? And wouldn’t it be unjust to give 2 pitcher an error for his good play? Yesterday’s ame afforded a beantitol illustration of what i nt. Barnes had opened the game with i fine drive for two bases, and_seemed in good shape to make another, so that, when he came $o bat In the fifth inning, Dean deliberately re- Tased to glve him a good ball, and seut him to Dbase a3 the easiest way to get rid of him. Dean afterwards told the White Stocking scorer that De made the play deliberately to get rid of the player, who is with reason considered the best batter Hving. Would it be fair to %WE Dean an error for what he did as a point o J)I:\y! The parallel case is where an infielder drops a tly for 2 double play, and cermiu]f' no scorer ever ave au error for that if the play was made so as to get even one man out. The only conclu- sion thnt can be arrived at by * Scorér,” when L thinks the matter over, is that the basc on balled balls is not necessary to the column of base hits or the column of errors. It belongs by itself, where Tire TRIBUNE puts it in its pub- Jished scores. 1t is a beast without a character, and has uo place in the question of earncd runs atall. Ifaman gets his base_on ealied balls, and is batted around, his run is not earned; but only a simpleton would say tat an error wus necessarily committed. “In'short, the called-ball man does his side a benefit by the run, but should not be allowed to better his own score or hurt any one _clse’s by the proceeding. In short, friend * Scorer,” you will do most exact justice if you treat a base on called balls as hav- .ing astafus of its own, snd do not attempt to connect it with either of two things for which it has, separately or together, no atfinity or rela- tion. SCRAPS. Nichols, Cassidy, and Seward, of the New Haven nine, are disabled by illuess. Nichols is dissatisfied that he consented to make an engagement In St. Louis for next year, and it is understood wishes to be released. A base-ball tournament at Jackson, Mich., open to everybody, has been arranged for, to take place carly next month. The chief prize is $500 in cash. Several Chicago clubs are ex- pected. Cummings was wanted by gle Athletics. He wanted 3500 cash down, and ™ bricks and mor- tar ¥ sceurity for the remaining $2,000 he asks for his services. Arthur is “sound on the goose."—Iartford Times. 1t is an open sccret that $100 in cash was offered by & representative of the pool interest to the sporting editor of a morning paper in this city, to write and publish an article charging corruption on c}%rmin ‘members and clubs in the League.—Zcening Times. An article “charging corruption on certain ‘members and clubs in the League™ appearcd in the morning Times Thursday last. The Louisville papers are at present indulging in journalistic amenitics after the mauncr of Cincinnati. Following is & specimen brick from the Courier~Journal Taving reference to the 4 scurrilous opposition sheet”: The Commercial needs no special representative to travel with the Club. 1ta reporter has simply to bend forward his ear toward Chicago or St. Louis and the expense of telegraphing is saved. The Princeton Base-Ball _Association tonrna- _ment will take place from Tuesday to Friday of this week, during which time five clubs are ex- pected to finish * games round,” §0 85 to decide the possession of $250 in prizes. The following clubs have entered; Ictoris, of Keithsburg: White Stockings, of Monmouth; Olympic, Sheffield; Rocket, of Neponset; and Princeton, of Princeton. Thediamond is laid out in front of the ?\md stand on the Bureau County Fair- (:‘rourc)fi s, aud the best accomodations are thus secured. The Chicago Whites are going out to Minne- sota before the season ends, to astonish the na- tives. If Sitting Bull will only bring his club ‘half-way to meet them, he can get up an excit- ing §ame. We don’t believe the Whites would bat Bull as hard as they did that other *‘ Terror of the West.” Asa “pitcher” Mr. Bull excels, his delivery is so very deceptive.—Cincinuati En- quirer. The_St. Louis papers announce that little Dave Force, of the Athletics, will play in St. Louis next year. This auzurs poor ** Juck,” for it has 8o happened that wherever Force goes there is sure to be trouble in the nine,—witness the Batimore, Chicazo, and Athletic Clubs when he was a member. He is known to the profes- sion as “ unlucky Dave Force,” and with him it i3 certain that the championship will never be reached by the St. Louis Club.—Hurtyord Times. Chadwick says in the Brooklyn Eagle that the team for that ¢ity to succced the Mutuals will comorise Furguson, Bond, Start, Pearce, Bur- dock, Booth, Holdsworth, Higham, York, and Harbidge. This must be crroncous as Pike, who has signed for Cincinnati, and it also fails' to include Carey, who has Signed with Bulkeley for 1877. The Eagle adds that the Union Grounds will be ‘refenced and provided with covered seats and other improvements. And now comes the rumor from Hartford that the ball people are bolding a hizh court of impeachment this weck, and trying to prove some *funny iness’’ on_the'part of their nine on its Western trip. The club bas not been playing ay Leagee cames the past week, and this is what probably started the rumor. The truth is that during the twelve Western games Bond disabled three catcbers, and the team is in drv-duck waiting for these three men to get well. Therc is probably no_ground for the impeschment, and yet some Yankees will believe almost anything. It is anuounced by the Cincinnati Enquirer that the Covington Stars have disbanded, and that Fling, ¢.; McSorley, p.; _and Houtz, 1b., will play with the Indianapolis nine to-morrow in their gaine with the Chicagos. Thiy game will be the vpening one on the Capital Citys® new grounds; and, judging from the posters, it will be well attended.” The fact that McVey was once an Indianapolis player is noted in the assertion on the bill that ©* Cal McVey, the best ball-player in the United States,” will take part in the mame. The least that csn be done to repay suel a compliment is to let Mac play in every pusition in the field in succession Mondav. The poet of the national game has not yet ap- pearcd, but when he_comng have a subject 1or him in the Hero of the Second Base. Ina srame near Eau Claire, the other day, u ball was Knocked into the outfield. The object of the piu was, of course, to get it to the home- blate as soon as possible, to prevent a tally. he fielder threw with great force to the young man on the .sccond base, and the ball passed through his hands and struck bim on the body. Jle seized the ball, threw it home, and droppéd over dead. With all the horror of the situation, there is something very pathetic in the cffort of the injured boy to do his full duty—to prevent a defeat of his'coinpanions. It is “an exhibition of the heroic spirit that has been lauded in verse for centurics.—JMilwawkee Seatinel. A few days ago Tus TRiBUNE gave credit to the Globe-emoerat for paragravh in which it was stated that Pike gave as the reason why he was ot re-cngaged that he bad charged Me- Geary with selling o game, and brouglit down the Club management thereby. Pike puts in a pretty solid denial, which should have the same publicity us the first item, even if it does_put the reporter of the G-, in a bad light. It is us follows: ST. Louts, July 24, 1876.—Editor Republican : Inan item in to-day's Globe-Democrat 1 um re- ported ns having made u statement yesterday toa reporter of that paper with reference to the Me- Greary matter. 1 pronounce the report false in every particuiur. a4 1 have never at any time made sucli statement to a reporter of that paver, nor did I have any conversation with_him yesterday upon any subject whatever. TLaryaX PiRe. The following paragraph from the Clipper shows that glimmerings of sense arc finding their way into the Eust. It would have been a more vafuable compliment to S%nlding, how- ever, it It hed not been dragged in by the tail to point a slur at another man. The Chicago team has one advantage in possess- ing Spalding as their pitcber, and that is that, un- like Lond, Hradley, Deviin, aud the other curved- line and s“‘in-fiucu pitchers, he is not so hard on Iiis catcher as they are, as Bis thorough command of the ball, his intimate knowledge of the batsmen, and his strategic skill, make his delivery the least costly in wear and tear of the catcher. An illustra- tion of this fact was afforded iu the Mutual and Hartford_game, when, owing to the inubility of Allison, Harbidge, and Hizham to give Bond the Tequisite support_ behind the bat,—all snffering from sore hunds, the reault of the great pace they had to face, —Bond was unable to gend in his swift- est balls or to get on the curve with full effect, the result being his comparatively easy punishuient. The curve comesonly with speed, a3 a general thing, and wnen the catcher has sore hands the pace must be dropped, or passed balls will be the result. The assertion made some time ago in these columus that the Hartfords would be moved to Brovklyn next year receives the fullowlnicou- firmation from the New York World (Chad- wick): The interest in the statement ariees from the fact that it is true, The new metropolitan teum for 1877 is a fixed fact, and that it will be strong and reliable no one who knows Mr. Bulkeley will doubt. It will contsin those Atlantic piayers, Ferzuson, Start, Burdock, and Bond, and ought, therefore, to be called the Atlantic Clab. 1t would eeem as if the Centennial year was being transformed into an experimental season, and one, in # measure, merely preparatory to a brilliant ' campaign for 1877, judging from the changes which are transpiring. Hicks, Mathews, and_Hallinan, of the Muluals, have signed papers to play with the Cincinnatis in 1 Bradley and Battin, of the St. Louls, and Anson, of the Chica- o, have signed to play with the Athletics, Nich- o4, of the New Haven, is to be the St. Louis piteher nest year, and other equally noteworthy changes are m progress. 1t seems o be conceded now that Chicago will win the pennant for 1876, the Cincinnatis, Athictics, Mutaals, and Louis- villes having practically resigmed ail ‘further hopes of winning it, as_the Bostons now have since their return from the West. The struzsle for the three leading positions is between the Clicago. Hartford, and St Lonis nines. the former having a winning Jend for thefirst place, while Hartford and St. Louis tie cach other in won games for the second, five defeats giving Hartford the lead up to yester- day. SPORTS ON THE WATER. AT GENEVA LAKE. Special Dispaich to The Tribune. GeNEvA LAKE, Wis., July 20.—The third of the series of yacht races under the auspices of the Geneva Lake Yacht Club for the Humilton, Rowe & Co. prize—a solid silver cup—was to Liave taken place to-day, but, owing to a lack of winp, the boats were becalmed near the upper buoy, #nd had to bo towed home. This was very unfortunate, since more than usual inter- cst was felt in the resuit, and an exciting con- test was anticipated. The entries for the first class were as follows: Nettie, by Julian S. Rumsey; Bonita, by Miss Ducat; Mis~ chief, by, N. K. Fairbank; Fleetwing, by W. M. Napper; Dauntless, by D. T. Whiting; and for the second class, Lucy Bullock, by John Bullock, and the Naiad, by Sperry Bros. The Dauntless won the race & weck ago, and the Centennial flag. . The course was to have been around the lake twice for first class,—equivalent to15 miles,—and around once for the second-class boats. It was stipulated that, unless the yachts reached home in three hours and a half, the race was to be off. This was considered necessary, since the breeze was very light, and it was raining very hard at the time of starting. After Capt. Hiram Wheeler, the Hon, J. Russell Jones, and Col. George L. Dunlap had been seclected as judges, and Capt. lgfll_v 5 Smith time-keeper, the signal was given for get- ting under weigh, und, in a_short time, the yachts crossed the livein the following order: Yacht. H.M.S. 2 12 Migchiel. Nalad.....oen The same relative positions were maintained until near the narrows, when the Mischief crawled ? alongside the Dauntless, and shot ghead. The advantage was, however, but temporary, as the Dauntless soon regained the lead, sod” held it until near the upper buoy, which, however, was rounded first Ly the Mis- chief.” These were really the only yachts which had a “brush,” the Nettie being in advance of all, and the Fleetwing and Boulta holding see- ond and third places. The Lucy Bullock was too much for the Naiad, leading her over a mtile in the first three. Going up, the yachtshad the wind astern, and all the canvas they could carry was erowded on. Each one was allowed all the sail her owner saw fit to use, and the consequence was no Lwo boats were rigged alike. All, however, had ‘stun- sails,” nad, in gw “ywing and wing ”? before the wind, presented & sight which filled the yachtman’s heart with joy. Upon rounding the upper buoy, it was neces- !nr{‘to beat back, and somefine sailing was done in il e tecth of the wind. The Flectwing had the advantage in this, keeping rightinthe * cye ye in o mannmer that astonished those on_the judges’ boat, and within half an hour she” was in_ the van. About 2 o'clock the wind died away gradually, and half an hour later there was a dead calm. ~ At this-time the Nettie was to windward of the Fleetwing on the port tack.and Mr. Rumsey sang out, “1 head!” The Mischief andDauntless werea mile astern, and, it being evidentthathome could not be reached in the stipulated period,—two hours having been already consumed in getting over one-thizd the course,—the judges declared the race off, and the yachts were taken in tow by the Little steamers and brought to the land- inig in front of the Whiting House. A large number of people were in waiting to witness the race, and they were very much dis- appointed at the sudden ending. Upon consul- tation among the owners, it was devided to sail the race Monday morning. Next Saturday there will be another race, the yachts eatered to-day and others to_participate, Tur a prize Aag to be presented by the ladies of Geneva Lake vill The race s to be man- aged by Mrs. George Sturges, Mrs. Julian S. Rumsey, Mrs. Willworth, Mrs. Charles L. Wil- liss Wilson, Mrs. Shelton Sturges, Mrs. rge L. Dunlap, Mrs. J. C. Walters, Mrs. Fairbank, and Mrs. Ed Ayar. NATIONAL AMATEUR REGATTA. The fourth anvual regatta of the Nativnal Association of Amateur Oarsinen will inaugu- rate the series of great rowing events that are to be decided on the Schuylkill River, at Phila- delphia. Tt is to be held on Tuesday, Wedues- day, and Tharsday, Aug. 22, 23, 24, and there is reason to expect that it will eclipse in brilliancy those held during the three years which have elapsed since the organization of the Associa- tion. The races, which are open to members of all amateur rowing clubs, which huve been duly organized three months prior to the date of the regatta, will be as’ follows: Single-scull shells, pair-oared shells, double-sciill shells, four-oared shells; and the prizes are the elegant and costly challenge cups and plate of the Asso- ciation. An individual prize will also be pre- sented to the winning oarsmen of each race, and, in addition, the Association will present a handsome silk flag to the clubs of the winners. Entries will close Aug. S, and must be made to Henry W. Garfield, Seerctary, Albany, N. Y. Ample accommodations have been provided for ihe reception and housing of the boats of con- testants, and good quarters for the crews can be obtained in close proximity to the boat-houses at reasonable rates. A grand stand, affording an cxcellent view of the course, will be erected. By applying Lo the Chairman of the Reception Comunittee, all information can be hud in regard to board, quarters, cte.; he will also mect all hoats of contestants at the depot, and convey them to the boat-houscs, provided forty-eizhit hours’ notice is given him of the train by which they will arrive, but will not be responsible for the reception of any boat which does not send the above requircd notice. This regatta will inmediately precede the International Regatta of the Schuylkill Navy, under control of the United States Centenuiat Commission, and all contestants will have an u]"npormnity of either entering in or witnessing the latter. THE OCEAN RACE. New York, July 20.—The yacht Idler, in the race for the Bennett cup, passed the Quarantine station, bound in, at5:20 this morning. The Wanderer left 2t 6:45. The Countess of Duffer- in at @ this morning was outside the bar. Noth- ing has been seen of the America or the Tidal Wave. LATER. The Evening Post publishes an account of the ocean vacht race for the Bennett cup, taken from the log of the victorious Idler. Almost from the start the Idler was in the van. Anac- cident befell the Tidal Wave at the very begin- ning, and she was compelled to take in her fore- sail for repairs. At7:30 p.m. yesterday the Tdler was abreast of Fire Island, and at that visible on the horizon. The Wauderer was‘hull dov, 7 miles astern, a0d_ the Countess of Duf- ferin Invisible. At 13 p. m. thewind grew light, and died out altogether when the Idler was within half a mile of the light-ship. A breeze then sprung up from the westward, heading the yacht off, but” after several tacks she suceceded in rounding the ligi?l-el.\ip and 'winning the race at 12:30 this morning. . GENERAL XNOTES. The Chicago Yacht Club will take its annual sail to Sonth Chicago next Saturday. A regatta will take place the last Saturday of August. Joe Sadlerand Robert W.

Mr. Mansur has shifted nearly all the very fast stock to other parks, and has now gone into the business of developing home talent, and to that end proposes to give two purses for ‘| horses owned in Cook County. They will be trotted for Friday afterncon next. The first purse will be $150, for horses that have never beaten 3:20 as a record, and the sccoud $200 for 2:40 horses, entries in both to be restricted to horses owned in Cook County. Conditions are as usunl—three heats in five in harness. . En- tries close Tucsday night at 79 Dearborn street.
