Jottings From Jacksonville.
JACKSONVILLE, March 24. Editor SPORTING
LIFE: The Philadelphia League Club played a
strong picked team composed of home -talent,
who were assisted by Clement?, Gleason and
Sobriver. I don't think Clements and Gleason
ever worked harder to win a game, while Schriver played short like a Ward or Irwin. The
playing of the amateurs waa very good. The
fielding of Jonea, Peterson and Ginter wns up
to the iTofeulooal mark, and the hitting of Falana,
ftlorella and Lewis was above the lino. You uo doubt
have ttie score in your miDimary, to 1 won't triable
you with it. Your correepondeLt umpired the game,
and was thankful that he escaped with his life.

SPORTING LIFK: The Chicago boys have come
and gone. They left us yesterday for Texas, from
whence they go North. During their stay they
aave won the esteem and sincere good friendship of
our people here. No more gentlemanly crowd of ball
players wore ever collected together. A. G. SpaMiug
ibonld feel proud of such a team aad such a captain
and manager as Anson, who is without the shadow of
a d-'tibt the greatest geueral that ever trod a diamond.
Frank, honest and manly, always the same in his
ways, and a man thai ia bound to command the respect
of all his players and. in fact, all who know him. It
would more than ploaaa him to know how his boys
speak of him. We hope to see him and tho boys
atrain uext winter, and If they come wo can assure
them a moat hearty welcome.
Iu their gamed here the Chicago* have had a regular
walk-over uith the teams they have played. Philadelphia aud Brooklyn will need lota of giu^er eud hard
work to cope with them the coming season.
Cliff Carroll is playing a great fielding game, and
is batting and base ruuninj are immense.
Wilmout ia aa usual 0. K. What a great fielder
and runner he is?
In sjwaking of Anson's outfield we must not forget
Androwi, who has made a great reccrd here. He is a
coming player sure, and Mill no doubt surprise Ihe
old-timers thia season, as he Is aa active as a cat, a
great thrower and a good hitter.
The G. O. M.'a infield will beastona wall. Burns at
third everybody knows. Cooney at short will be one
of the surprises of the eeaeon, as be played one of the
greatest games at short here, and will no doubt be one
of tbe greatest in his position the coming season.
O'Brien at second is playing a good game and makes
some brilliant plays, and is undoubtedly a comer of
the first water. Pap at first is aa usual, aud has not
forgotten how to use his "stick."
In catchers the Chicagoa have three great ones in
Nagle, Lauer and Kittredge.
In pitchers they are also 0 K. Hntchinson Is pitching the game of his life; clever Coughiin la close after
him; witty Sullivan is a comer sure, and Inks also Las
bean pitching a good game.
We must not forget to mention last, bnt not lea*t,
Howard Earl, whom any club would feel proud of.
He has not played regularly, but in the games he has
played he has shown all that be is still a great hitter.

weak-minded firal base man fhowod that he was woefully luttingin tho nervo wliicli overy woman admires
In a man. As Sir. Beckley was so much afraid of
what would happen to him io ca; e he did not get back
to the Biotherht od, he will l;e allowed to gut everything he wants from that organization, at least so far
as one- person is concerned to whom he broke his
promue, one that thonhl have been as sacred as any
contract he ever si^md. 1 do not care though to nil
my alloted space with such a di-jatrreeaMe tur-jcct a
Mi\ Bockley is, and so I will all >w him to remain in
oblivion for the liiture so for as I am concerned, and
torn to much more agreeable subjects.
By the wny, Bpenking of Mr. (.'ratty brings one
more of the newsjiHper beys to my mind and gives m«
an opportunity Io say I am (sorry Mr, Ken Mulford, ol
the Cincinnati Ti/Nes-SMr, should hdve gone «o f/ir out

quoted in TUE SPORTING LIFE'S notes luat v/eek. Il

began my letters in ibe;e columas, or for that matter
in any uther.
THE COMING WAR.
I am very glad the League made th« changes that
were put through at its Now York meeliug htsi week
It will make the fi<ht between it and the Brotherhood a much wanner and more oxdtiug one than it
would have been under the ten-club circuit. Before
there was only an livorage of hbout thirty-eight conflicting dates in each city. The u^w schedule makes
this number nearly sixty. The old League magnates
huve made so much fuss about wanting just such an
arrangement, so they could fi^ht the Brotherhood almost overy day for patronage and show which one
would draw the best. Now they have their wish, anci
the eight-club schedule, to my mind, i-* going to give
them just a little bit more of it than they will care to
have. Bo far as the fight in tins city is concerned, 1
think I can tell pretty well in advance ju-t about how
It will go. IMtttl'tirg will always give a puylng crowd

t-noosth of a crowd to give paying audiences to botb
Should both clubs play well up among the lead ore,
there will be such a division of the attendance thttl
both will lose mnuey. This is what the old-club
people are hoping for. They know the new club, with
its big pay roll aud new grounds to be paid fo-, cnnuot
afford to lose money or else it will havn a good chance
of goine under. The old one, not having these expenses, would have to stand a smaller loss. Of course,
as things look now, it ia very favorable for tho Brotherhood people. They have the uyinpsthjes of the
public with them, and the indications are that their
tram is BO much sinm^r than the League one that
the latter will be badly "distanced," aa I have heard
the turf reporters say in speaking of a horse race.

GRAY'S PATENT BODY PROTECTOR.
We now have the sole
agency for this most useful
device for the protection of
catchers and umpires. This
body protector renders it impossible for the catcher to be
injured while playing close
to the batter. It is made of
best rubber, inflated with air,
is very light and pliable and
does not interfere in any way
with the movements of the
wearer, either in running
stooping or throwing. No
catcher should be without one
of these protectors. When not
in use the air can be let out
and the protector rolled in
very small space.
A-WORD OF WARNING.
By the war, a point ha? just come into my mind
that I do not think there 1ms erer be*n any mention
made of before. It is a point the Brotherhood people
will need to wntch very carefully, as it may do their
organization serious harm, even if ft should not
wreck it comp'e!ely. There are, without doubt, many
members of the Playero' League who only joined t
because they were drawn in ly the idea of the immense profits that would be divided among them al
the end of the season in addition to their salaries.
S'ow, if Ihe organization should have liltlo or no proit-4 to divide when the teuson is over and expenses
are all paid, as ia quite likely when its opposition is
!akeu into account, there are many of these players
who would at once junip to the conclusion that th
whole thing was a failure, and that it was going under, and they would at ouce desert back to tho old
League. Unfortunately, all ball players are not educated, thinking men, lihe Ward, O'Kourke, Tcner ant
era, who know euough to realize that it ia some;iines ueceasary to wait for a time before receiving
any return from an investment, but they must havo
money at once, and if they do not get it, why, liko
:he spoiled child, they "won't play" and quit. This
:s the point I refer to, and one that will have to be
carefully guarded against.
