Yager Thinks Old Sallie
Leaguers Will Make Good
A special to the Sporting News
from Abe Yager, of the Brooklyn Ea
gle, says that Tommy McMillan has
already made good with the Super
bas and wall bt carried as one of the
leg'jiars" throughout next season
When McMillan left the Scouts —
the Jacksonville team —to report to
Manager Donovan at Brooklyn he
spent but two days with the big lea
gue team before he was given the op
portunity to get a chance to smell
the powder of a big league game.
Billy Maloney, the fast center field
er but miserably weak hitter, was
compelled to quit the game several
days on account of illness. Little
Tommy was shoved In to play center
field and his work was highly satis
factory and it should be remembered
that Tommy McMillan was never an
outfielder before.
The little fellpw ia now one of the
regular members of the squad al
though Maloney has returned to the
game and Tommy’s is warming the
bench. According to the Brooklyn
papers McMillan practices at short
stop every afternoon and his lightning
work is causing much comment front
the Superba supporters.
According to the dope furnished by
Mr. Yager, the Eagle's sporting man,
the Superbas will look quite different
when they come to this city for spring
practice next season. Many minor
leagues are to be tried out and it is
expected that new blood :nto the
team will help matters wonderfully.
AccordinfSto Yager's dope two for
mer South Atlantic Leaguers will be
regular members Of the infield. Mc-
Millan is slated for the regular short
stop position while “Humpty" Mc
leaguers aret obe tried out and it is ox
fielding and battiug game for the lo
cals three seasons ago, is sLated to
get the third corner, now being play
ed by Tommy Sheehan.
Jules Kustus last season with Au
gusta is slated to fill Maloney's shoes
in center field. Kustus will prob
ably join the Superbas next week.
With Rucker, Holmes and the above
referred to players in the line-up it
will be seen that Manager Patsy
Donovan has great faith in the play
ers who graduated from the swift
South Atlantic league—Florida Time*

M’ELVEEN. EX-SALLIE
LEAGUER, FOUGHT
KELLUM
Absolute proof that there is dis
sension in the ranks of the Nash
ville Volunteers was easily obtained
yesterday at the ball park and also
at the St. Charles hotel, at each of
which places two of the Volunteer
players met in affairs of fisticuffs.
The players in question were pitch
er Keilum and third base artist Mc-
Elveen, both premier artists in their
respective positions. Both men to
day carry marks tc- show where each
landed his fist on the other’s face.
Kellum’s nose is black and blue and !
feels rather sore, despite steady ap
plicants of ice and wet towels,
while McElveen carries what is con:
monly called a shaded lamp, that is,
a black eye.
Tne trouble started on the bench
of the visitors during the first game
yesterday, although it must be said,
to the credit of both men and of the
other men on the Nashville club, that
there was no disturbance, the entiro
affair being unknown to any of the
big crovd in the grandstand.
Keilum criticised McElveen for
some alleged misplay In the second
inning, calling him a "fat head" and
asserting that McElveen did not j
know his business. McElveen an
swer in kind, and ihe lie passed, caus
ing McElveen to place his clenched
hand oa Kellum’s nose. Keilum tried
to hit hack, hut a second blow landed
on hts nose, whereupon the other |
Nashville players separated the men,
and Manager Bernhard laid down the
law good and hard.
After the last game yesterday, Mc-
Elveen and Catcher Seabaugh were
going to McElevren’s room at the St.
Charles Hotel when they met Kei
lum. and it Is stated that without any
preliminary remarks «r motions, the
pitcher placed a stinging blow in Mr-
Elveen’s face, causing the eye to h-*-!
come discolored. —New Orleans S'atc.'

IIGUT'S BP
lit GOOD FLIGHT
LEMANS, France Wilbur Wright,
the aeronaut of Dayton, Ohio, made
a magnificent and highly successful
flight here this morning. His ma
chine was in the air for 19 minutes,
48 2-5 seconds, thus approaching with
in a fraction of a minute Henry Fur
man's record for the longest public of
ficial flight.
The distance covered by Mr. Wright
was not accurately measured, but it is
estimated at between 14 1-2 and 15
miles. The feat was accomplished
on the field of Auvours and was ac
companied by a remarkable series of
evolutions demonstrating the precis
ion of Mr, Wright’s control of the mu
chine.
M. Boullee, who timed the flight,
estimated that the average height of
tlie aeroplane from the grbund was
35 feet and that its speed exceeded
37 miles an hour. After readjusting
his motor Mr. Wright prepared for
another flight. In th,. meantime, how
ever, a strong wind hnd arisen, blow
ing at times as high as 24 miles an
hour. Nevertheless Mr. Wright
launched his machine and the aero
plane was slipping along nicely when
suddenly h@ had reached a point op
posite a group of trees a heavy gust,
of wind threatened to drive him into
the branches. To avoid this Mr.
Wright turned his machine sharply,
hut had he lifted the right too much
and the left wing eam P In contact
with the ground This brought about
a repetition of the accident of Au
gust 13 when the delicate frame work
was deranged and torn from a similar
cause. Mr. Wright was not hurt. He
announced that lie would !>,. able to
resume his flight next week.
