For msny years past have we, season after sea- son, endeavored to press upon the professional fraternity the Importance of skUlfnlhase-runnlngln winning matches,-as wen as to show them the many fine points that were capable of being developed In first-class base-play. Judging from the fact that the-finest base-running and base-play ever witnessed In tr-- professional arena was exhibited during the season of 1880, the indications are that the lessons that have been taught have at last yielded fruit. With an the skiU shown last season In this special department of the game, there are yetsome things to be learned. Experience Is fre- quently a good teacher, bnt her lessons are costly at urnes. There are players, however, who will not derive their knowledge of how to play the points ol the game well from any other source, and hence it is that years have been required to develop a degree of skin In base-play and haw running wblch might otherwise have been attained In a single season or two. Backing each other np Is one great feature of the play of first-class basemen. Indeed, infield work can never be effectuauy attended to without it. Backlng-up Is, in fact, an essential of successful fielding In every part of the diamond, bnt especially is it necessary In the infield. When the old method of fielding In vogue twenty years ago at Hoboken Is remembered and contrasted with each fielding as was exhibited by the champion Chicsgos In 1880, one can readily see what a vast Improvement has taken place, not only In fielding generally, but especially In bare-play. In the old times the only lnfielder wbo ever thought of backing up a companion was the short-stop, and even he considered that his chief duty In this respect was to attend to the pitcher only. Base-players of the olden time, with some rare exceptions, never thought of leaving their positions to field a ball, or to assist in fielding It, which went to any position save their own, hence base-running was done in that time which yielded bases such as could not be run now In any of our nines. Throwing to first base to catch a runner napping was a frequent thing In the old days—now It Is Justly regarded as a play of only exceptional occurrence. Now and then there may be a pitcher who has a rare knack of dodging a runner out by a throw o( this kind: but, as a general rule, no strategic pitcher will allow himself to be put out or plichlng-form by the efforts of a danng runner to Induce nlm to throw to first base. The rule now Is for the pitcher to trust to bis strategic delivery to the bat to catch the runner at first base at fault, and thiB he does by causing the batsman to force him out at second. Under the new rules, by which the pitcher Is set back five test nearer to second base, throwing to first base to put a mnner out will almost be entirely dose away with, the pitcher's efforts how being devoted to Inducing the runner on first to go down to second, whore he will now have a better chance to throw him ont than ever before. Base-runners win have to look sharper In running to second now than before, while second- basemen will have more work to do in holding balls thrown from the pitcher than hitherto. We noticed in the play of the best base-running teams of 1880 .that, when a long fly-ball was hit to the outfield, runners on the bases held pos- session of their bases until the ball touched the bands of the fielder, and was either caught or. dropped. Such runners never left their bases when the ball was bit—or, If they did. under the Impulse of the moment, they Invariably ran back to the base and waited, when they saw that the ball was hit high to the outfield—but stayed on them, ready to run on the catch or the drop. Run- ners who blundered In their work wonld in- variably run hallway down and stop and watch the ball, and. In ease of a eaten, they would there- by have an additional forty or fifty feet to run, be- sides gaining little or nothing if the ball was dropped. Sharp base-runnlng Is half the battle in a cleverly-contested match. One reason Is that quick running will yield base-hlts. where slow run- ning causes the batsman to be pnt ont Quickness In starting Is a great thing; but the feature of base- running 1b the judgment necessary to know when to start, and the nerve to do what you start to do. The invariable rule In base-running Is that the "runner who hesitates is lost." Either go and take an risks, or don't start at all until yon are forced to by the batsman. Every bane-player requires to bo a man with all hie wits about nlm, especially the occupants of second and third base. Some splendid second- base play was done by Burdock, Ferguson, Quest. Farreu, Oerhardt, Dunlap, and a few others last season, while some masterly third-base play wss shown by Morrissey. William son and one or two others. In first-base play the veteran Joe Start bore off the palm; Sullivan alse did Rome fine first- base play, Meyerle leading In the National arena. We look to see better bsse-play and better base- running the coming season than was done even during the past year, for better discipline will necessarily prevail, and with that will necessarily come Improved play In the points of the game. BASEBALL IN JTBW ORLEANS. The R, E. Lees played the Remy Glarkes at New Orleans. La.. Jan. 2. when the former won easily In a game limited to six Innings on account of dark- ness. Denny Mack was unable to play with the Lees, having bad his arm poisoned from the elbow to the wrist by being out by a piece of copper. The Lees led off with four successive .safe hits and batted Dunn very hard throughout the game, while the Clarkes were unable te hit Collins' very effect- ive delivery. "Mullane" commenced pitching, and presented the first three batsmen of the Clarkes with bases on called balls, whereupon CoUlns was substituted. In the sixth inning "Mullane" started in again to pitch; but after he had sent the first two batters to their bases on called balls his place was taken by Collins. "Mullane's" record as above given Is a remarkable Instance of wild pitching. ' K B. Las. t. a. ls.rojt.i 1 R. Clahkb. t. r. 1b.fo.a.s.

The Tale Club have Issued a circular to the graduates and friends of the University explana- tory or the movement now on toot to secure a per- manent ground for the nse of the collegians. This movement Is rendered necessary by the high rents charged for the grounds now used, the owners' In- tendon to cut them up for bnlldlng-lots as soon ss It will pay, and the fact that Tale Is obliged to go a mile and a half to find a practice-around, while her rivals. Harvard In particular, have fields of their own close at hand. It Is proposed to pur- chase a field for baseball, football, and other field athletics..and to'Improve It by fenolng and grad- ing, by building suitable accommodations for spectators, and by laying a traok. The whole ex- pense, amounting to snout 130.000, mnsi be borne by those Who believe in manly sports for college men. By March 1 a piece of land will In all prob- ability be secured. Itis expected that by that time S13.000 will be available. $12,000 have already been subscribed. Sdoobbtio)<&— An old Canadian hajl-tosser, writ- ing from St. Mary's. Ontario, on theloth Inst., thus discourses on what he regards as advisable Im- provements in the rules of the game: "I have played baseball nearly forty years, and have been a reader of The Clipper since its first Isbuc. I heartily endorse and approve your efforts to Im- prove the game, although 'the machine' seems to be against yon. When I first played we threto the ball, standing twenty yards from the home-base. When the girls' style or tossing or pitching was in- troduced we went up five yards nearer. Now that we are throwing again let us go back to the origin- al distance and lay aside the present mockerv or Eretended pitching. It will favor the catcher and at and Improve the whole game. The restriction on running bases on fly-catches shonld be taken oft The batsman would be out. of course, but let the other base-runners go as they please on every fair titu I oan see no reason why that kind of sacrifice-hit should be barred, and it Is more taking and gets the measure of the pitcher better than putting the ball down towards first base. If a base-runner Is unavoidably hit by a batted ball, be should not be out. If anyone 1b punished lor that. It shonld be - the batsman. Sacrifice-bits. for the good of the side should be scored as base-hlts. A batsman bit by the pitcher while standing fairly In his position should be given his base." ATHLETIC.

The general desire among amateur athletes on both sides of the Atlantic to see the wonderful American runner L. E. Myers competing side by side with the cracks among the members of Eng- lish clubs will. If nothing untoward transpires within the next few months, be gratified during the coming season. The Manhattan Athletic Clnb of this city, to which Myers belongs, held a meet- log last week, and decided to send him as a repre- sentative of that club to compete at the amateur championship games to be held In the British mekronolis In Jnly. He win take his departure from, New Tork the Arst week in June, and after appearing at said games, and probably at several cjnb ~mpetings, he will return to the States In time ttvtake part in the amateur championship sporte te take place bare Sept 26. The American champion betrays, a laudlble ambition to win laurels from the bestmen in England on their own grounds; and as the Manhattamtes place Implicit confidence In his Invincibility, and a most cordial welcome by the press and fellow-amateurs of Al- bion's Isle Is'assured him, they take pleasure In sending- Myers on a mission which redounds greatly to the credit of the club Itself, and will, we think, go far towards convlnclngnow skeptical Englishmen of the extraordinary powers of the modest New-Torker, and the genuineness of ex- ceptionally line performances not Infrequently re- corded here. THTRTY-MIIOBS AMATEUR WALK. The London Athletic Clnb held an amateur long- distance walk at the Stamford Bridge, Fulham, London, Eng., Dec 28, In which excellent work was done. The result, with the time of the eighteen men who won prizes by getting within the limit of 5b. 30m., was as follows: W. E. N. Coston. South- ampton A. C. 4b. 48m. 62s; J. A. Squires, L. A.

This section of the State, for the first time since the Association became large. Is chosen because of the Incomparable advantages afforded. It has been customary to offerprizea for competition at rifle, pistol and trap-shooting and for ny-castlng.

THB TEPTOAT SLASHER, In The UmOon Telegraph we find the following tribute to tbe memory of this lllnstrions poplUst of the old school, a portrait and obituary of whom appeared la a recent Issue or The Olippbb: "Another great hero has quitted the scene of his exploits In the person of Mr. Perry, once known as the Tipton SlaBBcr.' Into the merits and de- merits of prize-fighting we do not propose to enter. It had Its good aspect bosalbly: It certainly had lta bad aide. Bat the Tipton Slasher' was one of those pugilists who did little to bring his occupa- tion or profession Into disrepute. It Is on record that he fought hard but humanely, that his honesty was undoubted, and that, though he eventually suc- cumbed to the superior strength or science or both of Tom Bayers, he was a skillful and gallant opponent. Following noon tbe heels of such re- nowned lighters as Randall, Hndson, Helaaeo, liar- tin. Onbb and Spring, he yet belonged to the class wblch considered tbat a filr and straightforward fl(?nt was a creditable and sattslactory performance. He and his Mends, at any rate, held the knife and the revolver In abhorrence, contending that the list was the most natural weapon, and tbat by Its aid disputes shonld be settled. That class of men seems to have died out to ■ a great extent and It la for those wbo make the manners, customs and ethics or peoples tbelr peculiar study to determine whether lu disappearance la a gain or a loss to the nation."

Dairy's counsel In defense stated that Clark had knowingly agreed to participate In a pugilistic encounter upon which money was wagered, and that the contract was In consequence void under tbe laws of Pennsylvania, and the de- fendant was not bound to pay.
