BASE BALL.

SOME FINANCIAL FIGURES.
The fact tha: base ball as professional e1hibi-
tion Was sta-ted in the East, and had compaza-
lively dourishing existence IN New York and
Philadelphia before It was ever known in tbs
West, has for number Of years lod to au undue
assumption Of authority by tho Athletic, Mutual,
and Atlantic Clnbs. The managers of these in
stitntions have 12onoe eolized the government Of
the National Association and the membership Of
the important Judiciary Committee. and whsn-
ever case has come up as between tho east aud
west sides Of the Allegheny Mountains there has
never been decision in favor Of the West, no
.nat.e& what the merits wa1e.. 4 long list Of
wrongs suffered by this Chicago Club alone might
bo adduced il proof were necessary.
Now, in order to justify tha attitude Of su-
re1lozit, referred to- there should be some solid
the existence OF prosperity Of the game Of ball
There can be no dispute as to the
GREATER AVERAGE EXCELLENCE or PLAY
East snan Vest since the demise of tho Cincin-
natl Bed Stockings, brs this alone can hardly
giye ground for the position spoken Of. The
game could and would 60 on just about as well
If there we're no championship.
But in the next and fa1. more important par
ticular it can ba slor tlv shown that tho West is
far ahead Of the East This latter item is, OF
course. the support afforded to the game, and
the interest taken in it By the people OF the sew
eral cities where professional clubs are 10.
cated md where championship games ars
played. There is no Use in ignoring question
50 vital 10 the interest Of the game as the fnan-
cial one, and in refereuce to it almost solely
should the question oi influence be referred.
1t has been above stated in general way that
the West supported baseball much more lib
orally and justly than this East, AMI it may fais-
" be said, IN addition that the West has for
two years earned the Eastern c1uba On 1ts
shoulders.
In order to put this assertion beyond cavi],
SOME F1GC1Es
have been collected and compared for the pur-
pose OF exhibiting the GROSS aud average receipts
Of Eastern clubs which have played in Chicago
for the two seasons last past, and Of contrasting
these figures with Rroas and average receipts OF
the Chicago Club Il here it played reLurn games
in Eastern cities. The uniform division Of gate
receipts which has been n force for two years
Ill over the country has made this financial
c4y accurate, aud the xeceipts Of
each club may be Set at 3ne-thild of the gross
receipts when on foreign grounds. and ewo-

THE TRIGGER.


On Monday Of last week Capt. 4. Il. Bogar-
dus, the noted shot. Was tried before the Court
Of Criminal Correction Of st. Louis. for violation
OF the law against cruelty to animals, the o4fense
charged being that he shot certain pigeons in q
match. As considerable intsrest existed on
account Of the trial being test case.
an unusually large crowd Was III cour.
to witness the proceedings. r. 8. Macdonald,
Esq. President Of the Humane Society, appeared
for the State, aud J. D. johnson, Esq. for Capt.
Bogntdus, and also for tho Sror;suan'a Club.
which claims to be Interested iu the result. The
evidence showed that Capt. DogarduB waB a
professional markaman and was known as the
champion trap-shot Of the world that ha made
his living by displays Of his akill in that rarticu
lar. It was also proven that on the eth OF
November he shot apd killed twenty-five pigeons
at the Abby rsce-treca before an assembly Of
about one hundred parsons to exhibit his won-
derful cunning with the use ct the shotgun. 1t
WAS shown by the defense that the pigeons be-
louged to tha spoftsmens Club. and after being
shot they were gathered up aud given away to
persons who ate them as food.
4 witness testified that tame pigeons were
good human diet. though by no means luxury.
After lengthy arguments OF the lawyers the
matter was submitted to che Court. aud Judge
Colyin gave his views in full. He declared that
the killing Was unnecessary. and tina! the man.
ner Of killing WAS cruel. Thxt defendant had
no right under the law to kill p1geons either for
sport or to display his skill in the use OF the
gun. The defendant was dued $50. This ia
considered . triumph by the Humane Society
bnt as an appeal was Immediately taken to the
Criminal Cnurt it will appear mare definitely
hereafter whether the triumph was substantial
one.
