A small crowd went to the Young Men's
Christian auroclntlon park yesterday after
noon to sec a little the most farcical exhi
bition of baao bait that has been perpetrated
In these parts tor a long while. It was the
Omaha league ( cam against the Christiana ,
and despite the best efforts of the profes--
slJiicli ! to help them along the amateurs were
not able lo make a showing. Whltchltl
pitched three Innings , and then Abbey went
Into the box end. simply toseed straight balls
over the plate for the remainder of tie
frame. Even then the Christians wcro un-
nblo to hit to any extent , and their field
work was the raggedest they have shown
this season , Tlie i actual contest was pro
longed for two hoi-rs , and the only feature
worthy of mention was the fielding of
Pedroes and Trail. Manager McVlttlo ha.s
challenged the Christians to play the next
game at tha ( 'Maries Street park , the leaguers
to play wltli seven men. Score :

I I ' ON I FUTURITY CANDIDATES
Eastern Racing- Men Busy Discnsting tlio
Merits of the Colts.

NEW YORK , Aug. 23. The chtcf topic In
racing circles Is the Futurity , the richest
stake for 2-year-olds In this country , which
| g to be run off on the track of the Coney
Island Jockey club at Shecpshcad Bay on
Saturday. The youngsters who are entered
to start have not shown anything like consist
ent form , and ono new candidate alter another
for the honor of the
2-year-olds racing has
como to the front only to be run down by n
new one.
In the beginning of the Reason It wan
thought that Jacob Iluppert had all the stakes
at his mercy with Gotham , Counter Tenor
and Manchester , for they had bren running
half miles In trials In'record time for racing
and were undoubtedly as good lookers as
any that had been seen In former"years. .
But Gotham broke down , and soon after
Counter Tenor went bad , leaving Manchester
as the only one ot the string to bo de
pended upon. Ho did not ahow high form In
excrclso or In any of his races , acid It looked
like u hopeless cas * . Then Mr. Ruppert put
John Campbell in charge of the lot. The
horses were taken to Saratoga and all have
rounded to. t > o that they ore In about as
good condition at they were In Iho early
spring. Gotham Is not In the Futurity , but
the other two are and their trials show good
form. Last week Manchester ran six fur
longs over the Saratoga track In 1:14'/S : and
Counter Tenor the same distance In 1:15. :
In the race Lamloy will have tlie mount on
Manchester , while Garrison will rl'le ' Counter
Tenor. Colonel Iluppert makes no secret of
the fact that he hopes to win \rltli the lat
ter.
Gideon & Dally will bo well represented by
Butterflies , Waltzer and Kcenan , and Mr.
Gideon thinks highest of the filly first named.
She was ns fast , If not faster , than any of the
colts In the training In the spring , but
broke down. She has recovered , however ,
and Is now all right again , although one
race would probably be all he wanted.
Waltrer has won a lot ot rich stakes , but
she has not shown consistent form. Keenan
is the pet of the stable , but lie resembles
his brother Patron In that he Is a good looker
and worknr , but does not go last enough
when sent to the post. Waltzer has worked
three-quartets In company with Keenan In
1:25 : at Saratoga. Butterflies will have- her
final trial today , but the time la not apt to
be made public.
Eii Corrlgan has Handsome a Leo Lake ,
but It Is doubtful If either will go to the
post. The only one from Marcus Daly's
stable which has shown anything like Fu
turity form has been Sadie , bat she Is far be
low the average and the stable may not be
represented at the post. Pierre Lorlllard's
best Is Lisa , and although she lias run well
In iiood company , she decs not seem to be
In the class with the others mentioned.
Louis Stewart thinks ho has in Monaco a
very high class animal , and will probably
aend him to the post , although he has not
done much In high class company. Perry
Belmont's Magnetism colt la undoubtedly
fast , but lie Is a bad actor at the post. Ho
will go , however , and shquld be prominent
for a while at least. Agitator Is the only
one of the Keene string whli iis thought to
be. equal to the emergency , with Taral up
the colt will not bo neglocu'd. The Oneck
stable may have two In Its string , for Dog-
gelt has done , fairly well.
CaJIfornla Is the one , on , which Mr. Knapp
pins his hopes , and with Dogg'ctt up she Is
pretty sure not to. et much the wbrst of
the start. , A l ° t of , 'otUers of more or less
speed are among tlio likely starters , the
most favorable ot the lot being- Connoisseur ,
who showed a turn of speed at Morris Park.
Utlca runs today and on his race depends
his appearance on Saturday , as he Is the
only one In the Dwycr-Croker string of much
account. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

CHICAGO , Aug. 23.-In his trial ngnlnst
time J today or rather his exhibition trial
the great Dlrectum did no better than
2:101 : $ . Yet the track nnd weather were the
btfst for reconl-brcnklng of the week. It
was warm and the wind light. Something
eivldcntly Is wrong with the black wonder ,
although horsemen are divided In opinion
as to whether t'te ' pwners of the horse ure
merely reserving him or whether he Is not
up to his last year's speed. He was given
two warmings up before his formal trial
today , apd In one these was credited with
going In 2Bli : ( , n llgnre that official timers
refused to con lit m. The last quarter was
-wild to be In 0:3014. : The chief feature of
the day was the victory of John 11. Gentry
In the 2:08 : pace In straight heats. The time
was the fastest of the meeting. For the

SA\V ! \ SOME SNAPPY TENNIS
1us3 ! Who Attended the Interstate Tourna
ment V/ell Reworded ,
FIINALS TO BE PLAYED THIS AFTERNOON
, Uu4tln Dcffiilnl Young , YVhltiimn Drfrntcd
Ilaikcll , ( Itillmrtlo Uon from Drulso ,
Whitman from rnriiilmr | anil
Austin from ( Itillmotto.
Another good day's sport was t'ven ' the
spectators ot the Interstate tennis tourna
ment yesterday. At least three ot the
Matches wcro very good , and while { ho other
Uvo wcro one-sided , some very god tennis
was played. In each case the favorite *
won. The crowd that was In attendance
was again rather poor.
The second round In the singles was played
In the morning. The match between Young
nul Austin was the most closely watched , as
It was known that each was out for blool.
In the state tournament Young defaulted
lo Austin on account of slcknt'as after losing
the first set. 13vcr since the merits of tlie
men have been discussed , and considerable
Interest was manifested In the outcome. Tlio
match was a good one. Austin won by bet
ter all around play. Ho was considerably
handicapped by a strained ankle , which In
terfered with his usual activity. Young's
game was also a pretty one , but very
narely could It be said to equal Austin's.
Ho appears to become discouraged when the
score Is against him. When the advantage
Us with htm his game Is much better. Dur
ing the match lie placed omc balls very
well. The score was 4-0 , C-l , 917 , G-2 , In
Austin's favor. In the last three seta lie
obtained seven , love games.
Whitman beat Ilaekcll 'jy the score of
B-2 , C-0 , fi-2 apparently without on effort ,
llaskcll's game was good , of course , bat
lie could not gauge his opponent's placing.
Farqulmr beat Broatch very easily In
Ihrco straight sets , C-l , C-0. G-2. Broatch's
play Is somewhat stiff and was by no means
lively enough for his opponent's.
The match between Denlso and Gullmctto
was a pretty contest' , and resulted In the
Hatter's favor , G-3 , C-7 , 7-5 , G-l. Qullmctte
Ihas been playing extremely good tennis
( throughout the tournament. Ills strokes are
very good , as Is ulso his placing. Demise
also played very pretty tennis , but his lack
of practice has put htm somewhat out of
'
: to'rm. The match , howc\er , was one of
the most even seen In the tournament.
In the afternoon at1 o'clock the finals
came off. . The players were Austin and Gull-
nnette and Whitman end Farquhar. Both
miatches were very Interesting , the latter
ipossibly the more so. It would be hard to
find two players with more different styles
tot play than Whitman and Farqulmr. The
Iformer Is an easy , graceful , almost a "sleepy"
iplayer , while Farquhar Is all springs and is
jumping over the court continually. As was
lexpcctcd Whitman won after a good match ,
the score being G-3 , 7-5 , G-0. The score by
points was 30-23 , 47-42 , 24-4. In the last set
two of the gaiiiesere \ love games and ttio
'Other ' four 4-1. Whitman's game was un
doubtedly the best seen In the tournament
so far. Ills playing was admirable , being
rarely In the center of the court , but on
one side or the other. His weak point \\is
the smashing of lobs , his attempts rarely
succeeding , and If they did , were Ineffective.
Fanjuhar seised upon this advantage , but
that alone could not win the game. Whit
man's serves were also line , being low and
hard. Throughout the match many long anil
brilliant rallies occurred. Farquhar , of
cours'e , played a very good game. His plic-
Ing was fair , but Whitman's easy movements
Jld not appear to be very much hirrled | to
reach the balls.
In his match with Gullmctte Austin ap
peared to be somewhat bothered with his
ankle and kept near the back lino. He won
the match by tlio score , 12-10. 1-6 , G-l ; t > y
points , 77-CC , 21-33 , 27-13 , 28-16. Gullmetto
played a very pretty game , making some very
hard strokes. The game was essentially a
back line one , very llttlo net being played.
The finals take place this afternoon at 4
'o'clock ' , between Austin and Whltnun.
Every one who wishes to see a good tennis
tnatch should como out , as this promises to
be the best one ever played In the city.
Austin's ankle will have fully recovered and
he will be out to play the game of his life.
Whitman Is putting up v game that Is a
surprise and a pleasure to see. He Is a very
deceptive player , not appearing to make an
effort , but In some remarkable way he al
ways reaches his balls. On the other hand ,
Austin Is a very active player , moving al
most continually. Whitman is looked upon
os the winner by many , but Austin's sup
porters are sure of a victory. At any rate
the match will be brilliant and should bo
well attended.
A 'reception to the visitors has been ar
ranged for tonight at the residence of Miss
Hattle Cady , 3122 Chicago. Most of the
players have stayed in the city and It Is pro
posed to give them a good taste of the hos
pitality of their hosts. U
