Sullivan az a Pitcher.
Cincinnati Enquirer


tits possible that Sullivan may have played
base ball before, butt is useless to say that
he has mastered tho science of the game.
Nevertheless, it is q spectacle we'll worth
viewing to sec him slam q ball at batter or
anybody else. for that matter. Tho man
doesn't know his strength, and if he could
throw with the accuracy required in ball
player there would be needed many an extra
man to finish o game in which tho slugger
participated. In endeavoring to simply toss
a ball to the first base yesterday he sent it
clear TO the fence, and it is fair to presume
that had it not been for the obstruction the
ball would have travelled three times US far
as it did, SO great was the momentum.
Sullivan Is at present veritable giant in
size. His limbs are monstrously large, and
there are two great heaps back of his shoul-
ders that make him appear as though he
were carrying q knapsack. For all that he is
now called upon to perform in tho way of
exhibition sparring he is doubtless fit, but If
there should arise an occasion for his putting
himself in form to stand the gaH he would
have to work off great deal of superiluous
tim ber.
1t is pity that the elements conspired
yesterday to preclude the possibility of con-
would have been an immense amount Of fun
had the game gone on. Nobody would have
looked for q pretty game of ball, but there
must have resulted numerous incidents that
would hayo furnished diversion of n most
enjoyable nature. Had the giant had an
opportunity 10 warm up to his work, there
doubtless would have been excitement
occasionod equal to lively sparring eXhibi'
tion.

THE HEAD IDENTIFIED.
Theory OF the Medical Experts as TO the
Murder Which is Believed...to Have
Been Committed.

PHILADELPHIA, May Ga complete ex-
animation of the head found yesterday in
the Wissahickon creek. and which has been
decided to be that of Frederick Stshl, was
made by the coroner's physician yesterday
and this morning and he will submit the re-
suit of his autopsy tomorrow to the jury
which last Thursday determined that the
body was that Of Stshl and that he had
been murdered. Tho physician says
that tho first attompt to sever the head from
the body was by blow dealt with n heavy
instrument, and delivered while the man
was lying on his face. 1t made a deep cut
between the third and fourth vertebra, but
failed to soyer the parts. A second attempt,
which was made further up the neck, was
more successful. The first and second verte-
brai are attached, but that portion lacks a
small piece of the spinous process Of the axis
which is found upon tho upper part of the
trunk. This makes the two portions
of the body fit exactly, and
from the ragged appearance of the flesh and
the nature Of the cuts it is clear to the mind
of the surgeon that the parts we're severed by
the same instrument. The latter must have
been ceaver or an AK, for hatchet, unless
1t were very heavy .one, could not have
done the work. The head is frightfully
mangled and the face is crushed almost into
shapeless mass. The coroner's physician
said this afternoon that the body presented
the most horrible case of human butchery
that he had ever been called upon to inspect.

WOMEN OLE TIE WAX.
The Reception and Camp Fire for Arm
Nurses at Miss Ransom's.


The reception and camp fire in Miss Ran
som's parlors last evening was a brilliant
affair. Judge Lawrence presided and upon
taking the chair delivered an eloquent appeal
for the women of the war. The orator of tho
evening was the Hon. Alonzo Bell, and his
subject was also the women of the war. llo
said that in this whole city there was not ono
monument erected to them. DR.. Patton, Of
Howard university, and Gen. Birney followed
upon the same subject. Mr.. G. II. Branard
read an army poem which was written by
Miss Platt, of this city.
Congressman Pottibone pledged his own
arm and Mr.. Brumm's vote for the bill to
pension army nurses. Mr.. J. Twcedalc, chief
clerk in the war department, recited a soldiers
colloquy and n negro sermon. Con. Burdctt
made some remarks, and DIR. White declamed
after the fashion of timid schoolboy There
was the usual hard tack" lunch. The rcccp.
tion was given for tho purpose Of awakening
interest in the fate Of army nurses, many of
whom are living in poverty and without
