A Proposition to Organize "A Nine in St.
Paul-The Chances in Favor of a Good
Club.
An effort is being made to organize a
representative base ball club in St. Paul,
one that can suitably entertain ou1 country
cousins when they come to the city, and
one Of sufficient strength to try the metal
of the best eastern clubs, should they ac-
cept the invitations which will be sent
to them to pay as a visit. Base ball is
raging in the east, almost every city of any
size bCasting of a professional nine, and
the games which are played almost daily
are witnessed by large and enthuiastic
crowds of spectators. The epidemic has
reached Minnesota. Amateur n1nes exist
in the principal towns and Minneapolis is
getting together a professional nine which
Is expected to add new laurels to our enter
prising sister. The material is at hand
here to form 4 nine of more than average
playing strength and the boys are willing
to get together and practice hard and look
to gate receipts for their compensation
Seven competent players, including two
catchers and an excellent curve pitcher,
are ready to commence work as soon as
they can find suitable ground on which
to play. and arrangements are completed
to ill the nine with two players from the
east, one of whom is good change pitcher
The club, which will be known as the st.
Paul Base Ball club, asks of the citizens of
st. Paul that they will provide for it a
suitable inclosed ground on which to prac-
tise and play match games. Such ground
can be obtained in West st. Paul, of easy
access to the city, and the expense of fit
ting it up will be between 5000 and 500.
If the legion of lovers of the game in the
city will each put his hand in his pocket
and give to the club the price of an ordin-
ary days sport the money can be easily
raised, and within two weeks a club of
which we all will be proud will be in play
ing existence.
Subscriptions will be asked during the
coming week for this purpose, and the boys
expect liberal response from all they call
upon. Ali the money raised will be ex-
pended upon the grounds, the design be-
ing to make them first-class in every way,
suitable for the players and comfortable
for the spectators. II the large manufac-
turing and commercial establishments will
move among themselves, each raising d
fund for this purpose, the money can be
easily raised and much labor saved to the
canvaSsers.

He Shot Himself.

Joe Dayton, of 200 Fort street, while
experimenting with his self-cocking reyol-
yer on Friday afternoon, discharged it pre-
maturely, one of the largest-sized calibre
bullets entering his leg near the knee and
producing an ugly wound. The physl-
clans first called refused to probe for the
ball, but DR.. Wheaton being summoned in
did so butwas unable to find it. The
wound causes the injured man great
pain and it was thought at one
time yesterday that the limb would have
to be amputated. Mr.. Dayton is a car
penter by trade, and was so incenssd at
the accident that he asked an officer on the
beat, who was called in at the tinne of the
accident, to throw the weapon in a we'll
but he placed it in safe hands, that it might
be sold if the owner should reconsider his
order, and the money used to help pay his
expenses before he can get on duty again.
