Oi; 1 depleted club treasuries, the magnates pro- claim that the season about to be inaugurated will prove a great one in the history of the na- tionai game. A revival of pubiic interest was anticipated by the magnates last season with quite as much enthusiasm. The written his- tory of the sport, however, does not record the fuliiliment of their hopes.’ but the indications for the future are more satisfactory and as- suring. In revising the club rules so as to give the patrons of the game what they have long de- manded—lively base ball—the capitalists have accomplished another thing that ought to have a bearing upon the revival of interest. The limit of scientific possibilities of ball playing has been reached. This has been demonstrated in the past by small scores and the clove and even work of the contending teams. Pitching WILL BASE BALL PAY? The Magnates Dream of a Golden Season. ——— REDUCING THE SALARIES. An Effort to Put More Life Into the Playing and to Give Spectators More Fun for Their Money—The Changes in the Rules and the Probable Effect on the Game. -HE FUTURE OF BASE BALL depends upon the spirit in which the public takes hold of the sport this season. At no time since “the brotherhood year,” as the period that witnessed the uprising of the Players is called, has the career of the national game been such that its very existence hung in the balance. Yet it most assuredly does now, and the capitalists who have their money in- vested in league property realize it more than ‘any one else. Last season, with one exception, every elub fm the organization lost money, and that there was one exception was duc entirely to the fact that this organization's salary list was smaller than those of its contemporaries, and its run. | ADRIAN ANSON. battles have not developed much popularity. Daily patrons of the game were the only oues who saw anything to appreciate ina long drawn out contest. in which the men who twirled the ball were the most important factors in deter- mining its outcome. The general public, or, rather, occasional patrons of the sport, failed, seemingly, to appreciate games of this order, hey clamored for heavy batting, plenty of base running and an opportunity to see the other members of the team besides the battery take an active part in the play. To this end many were the schemes devis finally, after much consideration, a revision of some important rules was made.’ Here are the ules in question: IMPORTANT CHANGES IX THE RULES Rale 5. The pitcher's boundary shall be | marked by a white rubber plate twelve inches long and four inches wide, so fixed to the ground as to be even with the surface, at the JOUN M. WARD. wing expenses reduced tos minimum. But for this fact it too would have incurred a loss and the season would have been a complete failure. As an expiring effort the magnates have de- to give the game another season's trial, under conditions waich will finally settle the question as to whether the National League is to live or die. ‘The conditions referred to provide for saving Money right and left and strengthening teams ‘that were weak at the expense of others that ‘Were strong. thus placing all upon plane of equality and rendering the outcome of the mpionship season ax uncertain as possible. Rules have been altered in such a way as to in- erease the element of chance and uncertainty in the result of games, and « schedule that ap- ase equitable to all the clubs in the bas been arranged. Inthe matter of reducing the running ¢x- Peuses of the clubs the most important factor ‘Was the cutting of players’ salaries. The hal- yon day of the high-priced ball player bas a.

Rule 27. ‘The pitcher shall take his position faeing the batsman, with both feet squarely upon the ground, one foot in front of and in contact with the pitcher's plate, defined in Rule 5. He shall not raise either foot unless in the act of delivering the ball, nor make more than one step in such delivery. He shall hold the ball before delivery fairly in front of his body and in sight of the umpire. | When the pitcher feints to throw the ball to a base he Iust resume the above position and Tomentarily before delivering the ball tithe vt. Rule 13. The bat must be made wholly of hard wood, 65. A time at bat is the turn at bat of a Dateman.

YROBABLE EFFECT ON THE GAME, ‘What he wants to see is the ball skyrocket- ing up into space, the scurrying of the fielders to get under it before it reaches the ground, the batter dashing around from one base to another in his efforts to reach the home plate before the ball is returned to the diamond, the quick passing of the sphere in careful team play. All this tends to excite the enthusiasm of the casual visitor, and it was to attract and interest thie class of patrons that the changes were made, rather than to develop still further the possibilities of “scientific ball” 80 called for the benefit of = comparatively small number of critics. 2 Now, as to whether increasing by ‘five feet the distance between the pitcher and the bats- man will be effective in its proposed object remains to be determined. The argument that the further the pitcher is compelled to deliver the ball the slower will be itsrate of speed at the objective point needs no demonstration in fact, but it uestion whether five feet further will be a sufficient distance to affect ita speed to any appreciabie extent. Some critics say it will not, others say it will and still others con- tend that as the pitchers become accustomed to delivering the ball at the increased distance they will develop just as much proficiency as they possessed at the shorter distance. Until the change can be given a fair trial its effect can only be regarded as_problematical, and the folly of the critica in entering into a discussion embracing various phases of philosophy and mathematics to the exclusion of common sense is apparent ig in viewing what E. N. CRANE. Those of the magnates who revised the rules have, in placing the stamp of approval upon sacrifice hitting and bunting. laid themselves open to criticism. To an indifferent batsman this is a concession indeed, for it enables him to secure an individual record that may com- | pare favorably with that of a first-class bats- man. The latter, too, who may have found the ‘Utilization of strength the “‘stick,” will, when he finds that records may be made without the utilization of develop a fondness for short hit render useless the had in view when Tn other | ean be said beyond the fact that the effort to each of the twelve clubs in the league such good dates as may include legal holidays has been fairly successful.

Schedules Arranged by the Local Clubs— Programs for the Coming Season—Gossip of Washington Bicycling Circles—Notes From the Club Houses, CYCLING IN AND pal sports and club members are now en- Joying their weekly oF semi-weekly runs over the country roads. It is yet early in the cy- cling season and no cen- tury runs made, although a num- ber of them are antici- pated and several of them will be made before Decoration day. Some of the roads have been repaired since the frost left the ground, and it will require Some riding over them before they will be in good riding condition. While many of the county roads are dusty and rough there are by- paths along them, which makes wheeling easier and more comfortable than on good roads. Along the Alexandria and Fredericksburg | Failroad tracks the riding is first-class just now. | The track below Alexandria is in perfect condi- tion as far as Woodbridge, where the wheelmen branch off to go to Occoquan Falls, while most of the way down as far as Quantico there is good riding. What may prove a serious draw- back to the wheelmen in this vicinity is the or- der issued by the Chesapeake and Ohio canal that wheelmen are not to be permitted to ride on the towpath this year. This action was the result of the frequent use of the towpath by wheelmen and a corresponding number of com- plaints by the canal men of their animals be- coming frightened at the silent steed. If this rule is enforced it will prove a serious biow to the many wheelman who travel between here and Harper's Ferry or Cumberland after or before a trip through the Shenandoah val- W. A. LATHAM. of playing the championship season in two halves, as was done last season, was found to be impracticable, and the magnates had oc- casion many times last season to regret the ex- iment very bitterly. ‘The fact that two distinct championships were involved did not have the expected effect of stimulating public interest and was useless in promoting general interest in the sport. ‘WHo WILL GET THE PENNANT? Addiscussion of the merits of the respective teams that will be engaged in the struggle for pennant honors would be interesting at time were it possible todetermine their relative playing strength. It is obvious, however, that such a discussion at this time would be folly in the extreme, considering the changes that have been made in the various teams. The most that may be said is that if the expectations that were aroused when the changes were made are realized, it is not improbable that Louisville, Washington, Baltimore or Pitta- burg may come as near to winning the pennant honors as Boston, Brooklyn, Chieago or any of the more powerful clubs. Boston that enabled it to win the pennant fo1 sons in succession, has been lessened by the re- lease of Kelly and Brooklyn, that was an im- portant factor in the retilement of -the vexed question, has lost the services of that incom- rable player, John M. Ward. However, the loss of these two sterling experts of the game has been again to the New York club. The strength of the iast named organization is also increased by the acquisition of Roger Connor, whose services Philadelphia somewhat re- luctantly relinquished, and only on condition that Sharrott, one of ex-Manager Mutrie's proteges and’ one of the most promising young players in the country, should be given in exchange. The Philadelphians are satisfied with the turn affairs have taken, for they have acquired the services of a youngster who gives ley. THE CAPITAL BI. CLUB. Most of the clubs turned out last Sunday on the roads, but tie attendance on the club runs was not large, and Capt. Macdaniel of the Capi- tal Club says the reason for it was that the members of the club wanted to remain in town in order to go out in the afternoon with their “best girls.” ‘The captain has been on many a run and he evidently knows whereof he speaks, for experience is the best teacher. “There will be more riding here this season than ever before,” said the captain toa Stan reporter. “The number of new wheels sold has been larger than during any previous year, and new wheels always result in increasing the number of riders.” He said that prospects were bright for larger attendance on the club runs this year. Partic- ularly is such the case with tie Capital Club, for not only have new riding members been admitted recently, but 4 number of the older ri in | Tiders who we not been on the pete I eg ee eee Na Wards devertnte 0 Brooklyn led to|*isnified their intention of renewing their old habits and turning out with the club. Last Sunday the run of the club was made to Marlboro’ over the Suitland road, and on the return trip the wheelmen left that road near the first toll gate and returned to the city via Benning, coming over the Bowen road. This road from the top of Good Hope Hill to the first toll gate is in excellent condition aud very few hills are to be encountered. ‘Tomorrow there is to be a run, bat the des- tination has not yet been determined upon, al- | Danny Richardson's retirement from Washing | ton, and he will be seen at Eastern Park, Brook- j lym, during the coming season, that is, ‘provid- ing he agrees to the salary out.

The Washington wheelmen who participated in the five-mile road race of the Clifton Wheel- men at Clifton Park, Baltimore, Easter Monday were well pleased with their reception so far as the social features of the affair were concerned, although some of them are decidedly of the opinion that they should have been treated better so faras the handicaps were concerned. ‘There were about thirty starters in the race and prizes were won by Messrs. Terry, Mayer and Palmer of the Arlington Wheclmen and. J. C. Hunter of the Crescents, It is claimed that E. C.

A resolution thanking the Pennsylvania railroad for special courtesies extended the wheelmen who went to Baltimore Monday was passed and the officers decided to have a run night, April 21. It was also decided to extend the time for com- petition for the $100 prize, for securing new members, to September 1. The entertainment committee will prepare a schedule of league runs and other entertain- ments for the season, and a copy of the sched- ule will be mailed to'each member. THE CRESCENT CENTURY WHEELMEN. Ata meeting of this club held last evening business of great importance was transacted. A resolution was adopted providing that after May 1 no runs other than century rides be held. The clause in the constitution providing for two “official” centuries was declared still in force, and this stipulates that free bars be awarded participants in said rides; on all other century runs the bars are to be procured at the personal expense of the rider. A committee, consisting of Messrs, Ed. Terry, Geo. Hunt and Nath. G. Van Doren, chairman, was ap- Pointed to revise the constitution and draw up y-laws. The report will be submitted at a special meeting ‘Thursday, April 20, for action by the club. CARROLL INSTITUTE CYCLERS, Capt. Newman of the Carroll Institute Cy- clers has at last been converted to the safety and his upright wreck and rattling lamp will no longer be seen or heard on the road. The captain is a first-class rider and his club men fear that he will now become a scorcher and make them change their speed on the road. The initial run of the season last Sunday was to the Great Falls and Capt.Newman christened his new wheel “With Me.” ‘Those who enjoyed the trip were Messrs. Clark, Meegan, Dean,Lat- imer, Carrol, Smith, Armstrong, Daly, Ochsen- reiter and others. Capt. Newman has offered a gold L. A. W. badge to the member who attends the largest number of club runs during the season, Atarecent meeting of the club officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President, C. J.

FINE AMATEUR BALL PLAYING Not Much Being Done in Athletic Sports Thus Far—Activity in the Carroll Institute Gym—Interest in the Columbias’ Pool and Billiard Tournament. UST AT THIS SEA- son when, in other cit- jes, the trees, the tracks and the shells are filled each day with athletes, new and old, preparing themselves for the eon- ington is with the ex- ception of one sport drowsy sleep which even the inviting weather of the past week and the usual activity of themen seem unable to break. It is not the fault of the athletes, for those with whom Tae Srar has are all willing and anxious to go to work and are fretting under the restraint. It is not en- tirely lack of facilities, for though Analostan Isiand has been lost there are other places where the men can get in shape and the boat houses are open. The fault lies as nearly as can be surmised in the fact that the men who are in charge of ath- letic affairs in the various organizations are be- coming disinterested, and the enthusiasm and push which has marked their efforts for years is becoming dull. Many of these men have been the soul and life of athletics in this city for a long time. Now they are becoming older, their basin affairs demand the most of ‘their time, necessarily the attention they formerly voted to sports must be decreased. nd de- new material try their hand. The executive work can still be done by the experience ones, but the new blood will take h with a will so soon as they are given authority, and affairs will that activity which marked athletics in the Dis- | trict two years ago. This may not be a solu- tion of the matter, but the trial ean be made. Atleast nothing can be worse than the present condition when the athletes are doing abso- lutely nil. It isat least unfortunate that the excellent amount of athletic material there is in the District should be allowed to go to waste simply because there is no support to the efforts of the men who are desirous to go intotraining to contest for the athietic honor of Washington. CARROLL INSTITUTE ATHLETICS. It is not likely that the Carroll Institute will secure outdoor grounds this season, although the necessity of this course in the future bas | presented itself to those in control. Should the institute obtain athletic grounds next season | they would be enabled to put some first-class material on the track and in the field. Many of the members are young men who takes lively interest in all sports and are anxious to take places in any of the teams that will repre- sent that organization. In their efforts they will be ably supported by the board of govern- ors and by Mr. Maurice Joyce, the athletic ine structor, who is justly proud of the men who are at work under him and will let no chance go by which will increase the enthusiasm and interest of his men. The work in the gymnasium has not fallen off ‘one particle on account of the spring weatber. and each evening the gymnasium is crowded With those who go through the drills under the skillful direction of Mr. Joyce. The gymaa-/ sium is well equipped with all the modern im- provements and evers opportanity is offered jor physical development. doing especially well, and some of them can already give the older members ints on certain pieces of apparatus, it is worth the visit to the gym to see Joyce perform with the Kettler brothers. They are young boys of eleven and fourteen years of age and their acts are excellent. Both of them are agile and skillful acrobats and gymnaxts, Casson-is another of the juniors that is doing good work. The publication in last Saturday's Srax of the description of the game of basket bull hus greatly increased the interest in that game at the institute and every one is anxious to play. It is an excellent sport and should be encouraged. ‘The regular meeting of the institute occurred on Thureday evening, and at that time it was expected that the question of Keeping the gymnasium and billiard and pool rooms open on the Sabbath would be brought up and decided. The maiter never got any further than the board of governors. advocates of the institute to be ina flourishing condition and everything points toward a most successful career.
