BASE BALL NOTES.
Cleveland is working up a strong nine.
They are selling season tickets at Indian

rumor comes from Louisville that $50 600
will be raised to run nine there in 1879.
Washington will have four clubs: The
Nationals, Eagles, Astorias, and Crelghtons.
Charley Eden, of the Minneapolis Browns,
last season, is negotiating with the Man
chesters.
The National association of amateur base
ball, players has dissolved, with sixty-fye
cents in the treasury and no debts.
Mr.. Salisbury, of last seasons Red Caps, now
in this city, is in receipt of several hattering
offers from Eastern clubs for an engagement
for the season, one of which he will probably
accept.
Both Milwaukee and Providence are ex-
pecting to be uniformed in gray, with blue
stockings. Indianapolis will also stick to
blue stockings which makes the league
colors three blue, two red and one White.
Billy Oestrich, an old Red Cap. but who
wound up last season with the Rochesters,
this State, and who now has a position in
hardware store in that city, is paying a
brief visit to his numerous ST. Paul friends.
Positively the last claimant of profess
sional club is Reading, Pa, where they have
ground in which the right fielder is on a
hill, the centre fielder in quarry, and the
left fielder in a swamp. 1t is the most di-
versifed ground in the country.
Walker, who gave the Red Caps the grand
bounce last summer at the time Of the visit
of the Manchesters, is not playing this sea.
son. His bounce of the Red Caps rebounded
with such force as to knock him clear outside
the pale of association with professional ball
players.
Mr.. A. A. Allison, OF the Red Caps last
season, leaves this evening for Auburn.
N. Y, where he has accepted an engagement
for the season to play first base, position
he can fill most acceptably. If the otherpo-
sitions of the Auburn club are filled equally
we'll, it will be a hard customer to tackle.
The Silver Stars is the name taken by nine
made up Of young men from l6 to 10 years old.
Yesterday they visited by nine from
Minneapolis the visitors giving the home boys
drubbing to the tune of 10 to 8. Next Satur-
day, weather permitting, the Silver Stars will
visit Minneapolis, when they hope to be able
to return the compliment of yesterday.
The Davenport, Ia, club ought to be a
good club, as it has three old Red Caps in
the roster, viz, Miller, s. s., Bonn, Sd b. and
y. r., dAu " Lay, L. 1. sunny 14OAHd1l,
of the Minneapolis Browns, is also of the

Yesterday afternoon lively with base
ball in this city, some half dozen games
being played. The best played and most ex-
citing-there being a good-sized stake up on
the result-was between the North Stars, the
club Of the cigar manufactory of Harrison q
Verplank, and a nine made up Of cigar twisterE
in the establishment of Miller Bros. The
game well played by both mines, especially
for amateurs, but the North Stars had !; de-
cided advantage in their pitcher, and catcher.
and first baseman. The first two positions
we're filled by Messrs. Nash and l.. G.
Allen, and the latter by Mr.. McMullen.
and the way they did their business would
have done credit to professional player. The
game resulted II to 5 in favor of the North
Stars.
Ball players of St. Paul will recollect
Jerome, who came to the He'd Caps last
spring from St. Louis. as a ::dari horse.''
At that time the density surrounding Mr..
Jerome was SO great that trial of several
weeks failed to pierce the outer view and
disclose any of the supposed hidden excel
lencies. and he was allowed to Withdraw, and
HE himself back to the city at the other end
of the bridge, as the Chicago papers say
Since that Jerome has remained in obscure
ty, at least to the writer hereof, until
now the stone rejected by
our base ball builders is taken up by the
Alleghaney's, whose fine play last season at
tracted SO much attention. His position is
announced as that of center field. The other
players are Knowdell, c.; johnson, D.: Fisher,
LIST b.; Strict, I'd b.. Fousler, Sd b.; Hanck,
s. s.; Dreamer, |. f.; Lane, r. f., with Val
entine of last seasons Winonas as change
pitcher.
Nearly all members OF professional clubs
throughout the country have reported for
duty, and gone into active practice. Owing
to the mild and unusually open spring, but
little gymnasium work is being done, nearly
all the preparatory practice being upon the
diamond. At the East, number of trial
games have been played by catch mines. the
attendance being good on ali occasions,
showing that the interest in the game, SO en-
Enthusiastically manifested in the past, is still
retained. Play commences throughout the
East about the 18th, a large number of games
having already been announced, though the
league clubs do not open the campaign until
