 first and {300 to the second, mile heats, best three in five, 

 came off "at Deerfoot Park. Long Island, last Monday, he- 

 tween the trotter American Girl and the pacing gelding 

 Oopperholtom. In the contest the mare was the favorite 

 before the start at 25 to 10, and after being beaten the first 

 heat she was still the favorite at the same amount of odds, 

 Copperbottom broke up in the second heat, and the mare 

 beat him easily, and became a greater favorite than before, 

 selling for 25 to 8. American Girl won the two subsequent 

 UeatS quite easily, the pacer l.eing evidently mil of fix, as 

 he seeined inclined to break when called on for speed.

 to four o'clock the horses were sent off to a good start, Jay 

 Gould having the inside. Bashaw, Jr., broke down very 

 soon after starting, and milled up at the end of the heat, 

 very lame, whereupon the judge? allowed him to be with- 

 drawn. The following is the time: Half mile, 1 :15 ; mil.', 

 2:40. The victor trotted a mile after this in 3:18, which is 

 the best, time ever made by a stallion.

—The Peninsular Cricket Club of Del roil, lately defeated 

 the St. Louis club at Chicago by a score of 147 "to 94—58 

 and 89 to 58 and 36. On the part of St. Louis, double 

 figures were scored by Dale, Muller and Sharp, and by 

 C'rossthwaite, Calvert. Irvine, Bamford and Armstrong, of 

 DetrOiti, They then played against a combined eleven of 

 St. Louis aud Chicago, and in the deciding innings won by 

 1)2 to 39. Calvert's 26 being the best score, Edgar Bamford 

 and Hardinge also scoring double figures. White took the 

 majority of wickets on the part of Chicago. 



— The Bostons last week went to Baltimore and defeated 

 the Baltimores of that city three successive games bv the 

 respective scores of 7 to 4, 14 to 7, and 15 to 2. The Bal- 

 timores dishai.ded immediately afterwards, and the Bostons 

 are much chagrined to find that none of their victories 

 over the Baltimores will count as legal. The Athletics had 

 not played them since June 1st, and it only needed a single 

 game, and one with the Atlantics to have made the Balti- 

 more record legal. 



— The Baltimore club were disbanded Oct 15, aud their 

 47 games in the championship arena this season count for 

 nothing, inasmuch as they had failed to play their quotas 

 of Ave games with the Atlantic aud Athletic clubs. They 

 only had one each to play to complete their record, so that 

 then games would count, and these were due them in Bal- 

 timore by the two clubs above named, By this dishand- 

 rnent the Bostons lose 9 won games, the OhioagOS 9 aud the 

 Mutuals 8. The result will be to materially ehaoge the 

 championship record, the Chieagos going from fourth to 

 fifth position, while the Athletics are hut four games be- 

 hind the Mutuals for second place,

—The worst defeat sustained by the Mutual club since 

 last July was that they received at the hands of the At- 

 lantics at, Brooklvn on' Oct. 17th in Iheir ninth game to- 

 gether, when the" Atlantics won by the totals of 9 to 2 of 

 scored runs and 9 to of earned runs, they getting 14 base 

 hits to the Mutuals 5 only. Indeed, but for two passed halls 

 by Fleet in the first innings and a bad muff by Sweazy in 

 the fourth, the Mutuals would have been handsomely 

 "Chicagoed." 



— The transfer process of players from one club lo 

 another will commence in November next. Several of the 

 club managers have wisely retained oien whom they have 

 found to serve them faithfully. In this respect the reten- 

 tion of the whole of the Boston nine speaks volumes in 

 favor of their players. Of the original niue of 1871 six 

 have been retained in the club learn each season. Tin- 

 nine for 1875, re-engaged, will be White. Spalding, 

 O'Rourke. Barnes, Shaffer, George Wright, Leonard, H. 

 Wright, and McVcy. 



—The new professional of St. Louis will he very strong 

 in the individual strength of its players, but the ele- 

 ment of harmony has not been duly considered, judging 

 from some of the selections made. Bradley and Miller, of 

 the Eaatons, have been secured as pitcher and catcher, and 

 Pike as one of the out-fielders; Dehlman is to be their first 

 baseman, and Cuthbert their left-fielder. Messrs. Bishop 

 aud Fowle, it is said, are opposed to the clubs playing 

 matches on Sunday. This speaks well for the character of 

 the new organization. 



— It is said that the Hartfords have arranged to have 

 for their pitcher and Higham as catcher, with 

 . cond base, Fulmcr short -stop, Remsen at centTe- 

 ficlci.and Burdock at third base. The latter is the man to 

 Captain the nine if they fail to secure Ferguson. 



— The many friends of the veteran Peter O'Brien will be 

 relieved to learn that the sad occurrence of his death was 

 the result of accident, and not suicide, as erroneously re- 

 ported. Open-hearted, enthusiastic and upright, he was a 

 model of integrity for every ball player to copy from. 



— On October 7th, Pittsfichl was the scene of an interest- 

 in!! contest between the College nines of Amherst and 

 Williams, the result of which was a signal victory for the 

 Amherst nine bv 21 to 7 in a full game. Record led at the 

 bat on the winning side and Ogden on the part of Williams. 

 The second base play on both sides was very good, Siorke's 

 catching being noteworthy. 



— In the game of base ball played at Prospect Park be- 

 tween the "Tribune' and "Wild Oats" nines, the former 

 won by a score of 18 to 13. The. "Wild Oats" nine chal- 

 lenge the "Tribune" nine to play another game, to be 

 played by their (the Tribune's) own nine, the trophy to be 

 a ball. 



—The Hartfords will retain only Mills, Tippen and Brady 

 of their nine of 1874. 



—The Athletics retain Clapp, McBride— he could not 

 play under any other colors — Anson and Sutton. 



—The Chieagos retain Malone, Zettlin, Glenn, Hines and 

 Peters. 



— The Mutuals retain Mathews and Start. 



—A society formed this year for the purpose of increas- 

 ing the interest in athletic sports, at Harvard College, was 

 formally organized last week. Contests have been decided 

 upon which will occur on Jarvis Field at three o'clock 

 Friday afternoon, Oct. 23. These contests will be as fol- 

 lows-.— One hundred yards running race; high jump; one 

 mile running race; running long jump; hurdle race of 120 

 yards over ten hurdles; throwing base ball; two miles run- 

 iiing race; consolation race of one-half mile; a three-legged 

 race and a three miles walking race. Gen. F. W. Lister 

 has made an offer of two silver cups to be contested for in 

 the spring races. One of the contests for the cups must be 

 a high jump. The other is unrestricted. 



— The Toronto foot races came off on last week on the 

 grounds of the Toronto Cricket Club. In the 100 yard 

 race, Bums was the successful competitor. In the 440 

 yards race the starters were reduced in the last heat to two, 

 Lea and Jacobs, the former taking first prize, For the 

 Challenge Cup, there were only three contestants, Tohan of 

 the Shamrock Lacrosse Club, and two Indians, Quartz and 

 Karonhirae; this race was easily won by the latter. Fastest 

 time, 5 min. 4 sec, made during the first heat. 



—The foot ball match at Dartmouth College last Friday 

 between the Seniors aud Sophomores on one side, aud the 

 Juniors and Freshmen on the other, resulted in a victory for 

 the Juniors and Freshmen, they beating five out of the six 

 games. The contest was the most exciting that has hap- 

 pened for a long time. 



—In the walk between Edward Mulleu and Richard Wal- 

 lace, at Yonkers, recently, Mullen won the first heat, Wal- 

 lace the second and third, and Mullen the fourth and fifth. 

 Twenty-nine circuits of the, hall made a mile. Both men 

 walked well. The best time was seven minutes; the 

 loosest time eight minutes aud ten seconds. 



— The foot ball match, Old Countrymen vs. Canadians, 

 came oil' on last week on the grounds "of the Toronto La- 

 crosse Club. After a close contest the game w as decided 

 in favor of the Old Country team, they making three 

 touch-downs, neither side being able ta obtain 



— The Emperor William, we hear, has ordei 

 land ten million rounds of cartridges. This 

 owing to the well-founded rumor that Weston was going lo 

 Berlin to attempt a walk of 365,000 miles in 365 days.— 

 Daubury News. 



— A closely contested lacrosse match was played on the 

 14th ult. at Orillia, Canada, between the Collingwood aud 

 Orillia clubs, for the championship of the North aud set of 

 silk flags, resulting in a victory for the latter club. 



— The championship lacross match on Thursday last, 

 between the Shamrocks and Montreals, resulted in favor of 

 the former club in three straight games.
