Bastian, the Philadelphia short stop,
prefers to play in his stocking feet.
A Philadelphia sporting gentleman has
wagered 81, 900 that the Phillies will lead
the New York team in the race for the
pennant.
Charleston is said to be negotiating for
another player, and says she intends to
have the strongest CLUB in the league if
money can procure it.
Two or three of the Southern League
clubs, it Is said, have been trying to pur-
chase Parsons release from the Boston
League team, hut without success. 1t is
also said that Manager smeltz of the st.
Louis MaroOns has been after him.
Detroit has been playing an almost
faultless fielding game of late. This is
contrary to the prediction of all the crit
les, who said all along that the team was
strong only in batting. The DetrOits are
still in the lead in the race for the league
championship. Chicago is close behind.
The Avalanche says: "The luxurious
accommodations provided for the re-
pOrters at the Memphis base ball grounds
are the subject of general admiration.
Every man is provided with a revolving
chair with cushioned seat fitting back
wards. to facilitate perfect repose during
intervals of leisure, and the desk is SO
located that a perfect view OF the home
plate is afforded by curVing his neck
around 10-inch post. The place reserved
for the press Is so rallied In as to prevent
the invasion of the ubiquitous and multi
tudinOus lemonade vender and other
chronic nuisauces. Such fOrethought on
the part of the management is deserving
of all praise and gratitude, and this sp0n-
taneous expression of the same will
doubtless be appreciated all the more be-
cause unsolicited"

Nashville Likely to be the Place OF
Meeting IN 1887.
The Assistant Adjutant General, De-
partment of Tennessee and Georgia, G.
A. r., has secured special rates from the
Association of Southern Passenger
Agents for delegates to the next Grand
Encampment of the Grand Army Of the
Republic to meet in Nashville.
The special rate having been secured
for Nashville, il is believed that the next
Grand Encampment Of the United States
will he held in that city.
The Adintant General says that Iowa,
Michigan, New York, OHIO, and other
states. have instructed their delegates to
the encampment az San Francisco in Au-
gust. to vote for Nashville as the next
place of meeting. He states that nearly
two thirds OF the delegates by pledges and
instructions willVote for Nashville, which
will surely secure the selection Of that
CITY the place OF meeting.
This meeting will bring at least 100, 900
old Federal soldiers TO the State and
almost half as many old ex-COntederates.
IL will be the largest gathering OF veterans
since the war, and in all probability so
large a body Of veteran soldiers will
hardly ever again assemble.
