CRICKET BOOK IT PROSPECT PARK. As was announced some time ago in these columns, the Atlantic Yacht Club is casting about with an Idea of forming several restricted classes for racing in 1003. In view of this plan. George Hill, chairman of the regatta committee, has sent to a number of builders the following communication. It is self explanatory and shows that the Sea Gate organization is going a step further than any club has yet done in taking the inclined water line length into consideration.

The letter follows: August U. 1902. Gentlemen 1 would be pleased to receive from you on or before September 1 sketch Jilnn to 1 inch scale, with sketch FpeclHcatir.n and proposal, for one or more of the following restricted classes, and would be obliged if you would advise me as to whether or not I may expect to receive the same from you. Your proposal to state the price bid for one boat and lb price bid should three of the same or similar type he ordered.

HEORt HILL. The series of twenty games with Boston, despite the fact that it was won by Brooklyn, 12 to 8, furnished the hottest fought contests in which the Superbas figured this Beason. No less than nine games were won by a single run and three went to extra innings. Brooklyn took all of the latter. One game was of fourteen innings' duration, another of thirteen and a third of ten.

Boston got revenge by twice shutting out the Superbas, once by 5 to 0, and again by 4 to 0. The highest number of runs scored by either team in a single game was 10. Brooklyn turned the trick twice. Nine runs were all that Boston could muster in a single same. Buns and base hits were comparatively scarce in this series, but the Brooklyns outpointed their rivals in both respects.

scorr lng 81 runs against 65 and 179 base hits to 152. It will be seen that the Superbas averaged only 4 runs and a fraction below 0 hits per game in the twenty contests, while the Bostons averaged only 3 runs and about 7 base hits. Individually, the Superbas showed some superiority over their adversaries. They had seven batters in the .300 class against only three for Boston. Hiidebrand, the little outfielder, who played only the first couple of weeks of the season, led the Brooklyns with an average of .400.

Farrell. Kitson, Ahaarn, Irwin and Keeler follow. Charley Irwin, however, leads the men who played In all twenty games. The all around work of Kred Tenuey was the feature of the series. He not only led the Beaneaters in batting, but his fielding was phenomenal.

He had no less than twenty two assists, an unusual record for a first baseman. McCreery also made a record In this respect. His assists number sixteen. The performance of Greminger at third base, where he accepted 65 chances without an. error, is remarkable.

Keeler made the most base hits among the players of the two teams. Irwin, McCreery arid Carney each scored a dozen runs. Carney, De Mont and McCreery each stole seven bases, while Keeler. Flood and Tenney each made four sacrifice hits. Carney led In home runs with two, made in one game; McCreery and Greminger led in three baggers with' two each, while Dahlen carted off the honors with two baggers, he having five to his credit.

In team work Brooklyn led in batting and 'Boston In fielding. The, Superbas made 25 doubles, 7 triples and 4 home runs, against Jg doubles, 6 triples, and 2 homers for Boston. The BeaneaterB stole the. most bases by 32 to 28, and Brooklyn made the' most sacrifice hits 21 to IS. The complete records follow: Brooklyn.

Columbus. September 5 The champion troitor failed in an attempt to lower his record of 2:0214. He trotted the mile in 2:04 flat. The weather was chilly and a strong wind from the northwost seriously interfered with his speed in the second and third quarters. The horse reached the half' in 1:00.

but the effort, against the breeze was too much for him. and he lost at least two seconds in the third quarter. He was paced by two runners and a rider on a motor cycle followed his sulky. The time by quarters was: 20. 1:00, 1: 2:04.

Six thousand people watched the performance. ATLANTICS ANNOUNCE ANOTHER OCEAN RACE. The Atlantic Yacht Club will give an ocean race on September 19. starting at 1 F. from Sea Gate to and around the Northeast End Lightship off Cape May.

The distance is ahout 210 milest The yachts will start on the ebb tide and if they maintain the rate of sailing shown in the recent Fire Island race will finish before noon on Saturday. The schooners which entered in the Fire Island race are all anxious to have another trial and have all entered, and the entry of several other schooners has been promised, providing the owners can make the necessary arrangements so that there will be not less than five entries and probably eight. There will be a very handsome cup given by Commodore Tod as the first prize and second and third prizes will be given by the club under the rules governing the award of prizes. TURF NOTES.

In fact, the measly little misnlay, the only one of the game, waa the opening wedge to the scoring of the solitary run that was chalked up during the nfternoon. Jimmy Slagle scored it on the aforesaid muff, a sacrifice by Dobbs and Jack Kling's smash to right for two baseB. The score was 1 to 0 and thereby hangs the talc of the introduction to fast company of one Tom Hardy, an ordinary looking youth from Troy, whose twirling, given evidence of making him the greatest wonder of the base ball firmament since Jimmy Hughes came East from the Pacific coast and made some records. Hardy 1b a left handed pitcher with an assortment of curves that had tho Superbas up in the air at all times. He had them lunging at everything that he served up, and.

barring Jimmy Sheckard, not a mother's son. of them got the ball out of the reach of a fielder. Sheckard was the only man to reach first base, and he did this twice on a couple of base hits, only one of which was clean. Sheckard worked his way to second base by a. clever steal in the fourth inning, but that is as far as he could get.

The other members of the team were under the spell woven by Hardy. Five of them struck out, fifteen failed to hit the ball outside of the diamond and the rest retired oa flies. It must be said that the Superbas hit the ball hard at times, but tie team behind Hardy played a perfect fielding game, despite i the fact that It appeared on paper the great i est bunch of misfits ever placed In the field. by Manager Selee, and he has had. some wonderful combinations during the season.

Captain Lowe was out of the game with an injured foot and. with First Baseman Chance also on the hospital list, Selee had to revolutionize his entire infield. He had Pitchers Menefee and Taylor at first and third, respectively, while Evers was shifted over to second and Tinker to short. The combination proved a winner. Out in left field Jimmy Slagle hauled down, a couple of Hies that cut off home runs.

One of these was on a long wallop by Dono vona and the other a scoop of a liner from Dahlen's bat. "Wild Bill" Donovan pitched one of his clever games, which would have won nine times out of ten. Unfortunately, this was the odd. In the eighth a splendid one handed sto by Farrell cut off a run, while in the ninth a remarkable catch by Sheckard of a terrific liner from Kling's bat prevented similar disaster. A few moments later, with two men on bases.

Keeler made another fine catch ot a line drive by Evers and doubled up Murray at first. Hardy did not give a base on balls, while Donovan gave but one. The latter held the Orphans down to six scattered hits. Only two wore registered in the first seven innings. Barring the solitary run scored, but two Orphans got beyond second base during the game.

RACE RECORD MAY GO AT EMPIRE CITY MEET. Xow that Dan Patch has proved his ability to pace a mile in better than 2 minutes it is confidently expected that in his race against Prince Alert, at the Empire City track, on the second day of the grand circuit meeting, September 16. he will negotiate the course in time at least as fast as that supplied in his exhibition mile paced by a runner. Such a performance would stamp the grandson of Joe Patchen as one of the greatest light harness horses ever bred, for it would be Ihe first time that any horse has ever traveled a mile better than 2 minutes in a race. And, in fact, only one other horse.

Star Pointer, ever got within those figures, even in an exhibition. The. classes for. the JEmpire Trotting. Club grand circuit meeting have filled satisfactorily and.

the records of the horses entered assures New of some interesting light harness racing. TENNIS TOURNAMENT AT CRESCENT A. C.

H. Blankley of 313 Union street, Brooklyn, a close observer of the development of local cricket within recent years, calls attention to the encouraging advance noticeable, with particular reference to the younger generation and the gentler sex, in the following letter: Any on? who has watched the progress of cricket in Brooklyn cannot fall to have the steady progress the game has marie during the past few years. At the Parade Grounds, on Saturday last, thrre were quite a of small boys whose ages would probably range between 6 and 10 years, were very earnestly playing the game with a perfect but diminutive set of wickets, hats, etc. To veterans this was an encburaglng sight, showing, as It did. the fact that the rising gen eration Is beginning to take an Interest In the game.

A still more Interesting Incident was enacted on the crease of the Kings County Club after the regular match was over. A number of young women took possession and were bowling and batting In a manner which proved they were Intent observers of the game and were anxious to prove they could play Just like 'men. In England, the home of cricket, it Is not an unusual sight to se? the wives, rlsrers and friends of the club members enjoying the game, and there are many women who are really good players and who. during the season, play many matches, not only between themselves, but also with teams of the sterner sex. If the members of the various clubs, who plav at the Park, would devote a little time to coaching and encouraging the fair admirers, whv should there not be here in Brooklyn a.

good women's eleven? The game is Interesting, refined and scientific. It brings all the muscles of tne body Into play. Induces keen observation, sharpens the wits anil appetite, cultivates accurate eyesight, causes moderate exercise, without producing fatigue: Is a medium of social intercourse, and. in fact, can be favorably compared In every respect to the more popular and fashionable games of tennis and golf. Let the various Brooklyn clubs ponder this matter and give the necessary encouragement ana opportunities, and they will find the club colors more popular, the matches better attended and more enthusiasm as to the welfare of the game.

The championship cricket match between the Brooklyn Cricket Club and the Livingston Field Club, in the Metropolitan District Cricket League series, will be the chief attraction for lovers of cricket at the Prospect Park parade grounds to morrow afternoon. In the first encounter, at Livingston three weeks ago, the Brooklyns emerged victorious By a comfortable margin, and the adherents of the champions are strongly hopeful that they will repeat the performance. If they fail all chance of retaining the pennant will be gone. Of the two New York Cricket Association games scheduled, one will be between Team of the Brooklyns and Newark at the parade grounds, and the other between Branch Brook and Team of Paterson at Branch Brook, N. J.

The Prospect Park Cricket Association games scheduled are Manhattan vs. West Indians and Nelson Lodge vs. Manhattan second elevens. TROUBLE BREWING IN SHELTER ISLAND Y. Members of the Shelter Island Yacht Club have received the following communication: September 2, 1902.

Two fawns created much interest in front of one of the big express offices on Washington street this morning. The fawns are the property of Robert Fitzsimmons and were caught by the ex champion fighter in California while he was training for his recent encounter with Jeffries.

Fitz, before leaving the coast, had tamed the two animals considerably, and they stood the fondling ol the newsboys and other admirers well this morning. They were caged in a wire box, which permitted them to move around with a little freedom. Fitz has trusted to the good will of humanity to keep his two pets alive, while on their way to his home in Bensonhurst, whence they are assigned, and the appearance of the two animals leads to the belief that the railroad employes did not let them go hungry. On top of the box Fitz tacked a card requesting that the persons who could, would give the fawns two heads of lettuce apiece day and night beside a handful of wheat and plenty of water. The animals stand about two feet from the ground and are covered with white spots, which are hard to discern throuKh the dirt that has accumulated dur ing the long trip from the coast.
