BATTERIES AT PRACTICE.
What Critics Think of the Old
and New Pitchers and Catchers.

and New Pitchers and CatCherS.
All of the members of the Minneapo-
lis batteries, except Sterling and
Graves, have reached the city and are
in daily practice. Graves has spent the
winter in Southern California, and will
not come here until just before the
opening of the season, so as to prevent
any ill effects from sudden change of
temperatures. Sterling will get here
next week, when the body of the team
will report. To-day week, every men,
Der will be due, and as each has been
in practice for some weeks, all are eX-
pected to be ready to play ball.
The battery practice at Washington
rink has enabled the critics to gain some
idea of the new talent at the delivery
and receiving ends. Winkleman and
KlOpf each tnrned up in good form and
each has added new curve to his sys-
larger in form than last year, Whic b
endurance. His left-handed twirl-
ing seems even more difficult
to gauge than last year. and
he has mastered rising in-shoot that
will deceive the warriest batter. Klopf,
the kid, seems made of iron and whale
bone, and is in splendid shape. To the
speed and the rising ball on which he
relied last year, he has added drop
ball that Krieg prOnOunceS singer to
either hit or hold. If Klopf will i'm
prove in his batting as well as he has in
pitching, he will make valuable man.
Winkleman is already reliable batter,
and promises to do still better stick
work this year. Krieg, of course, has
kept in practice, and his batting and
playing are too well known to require
mention.
The new men in practice are Pitchers
Parsons and Rehse and Catcher Jordan
The latter is fair man in every appar-,
ent respect, but in such practice Moth
ing definite can be told of a catcher
This week he will get to work On the
field, when something more definite can
be seen. Parsons is being curiously
watched by the critics.. and is pro-
nounced "a Bird" but nothing
but actual play will develop
what he can do. Manager Gooding is
very reticent about claiming anything
for him, preferring to await the result
of events. He has about every curve,
shoot, rise and drop known in the box,
but nothing can be told of his nerve,
self-pOsseSsion OF command of the ball,
which are everything in game. He is
modest and unassuming, which will rec
ommend him to the cranks. Rehse, who
is a Minneapolis amateur, comes out
with very speedy delivery and a good
curve. He is large and strong, and looks
as though he could stand heavy strain
and then come in and slug the ball.

always keep him in good condition.
Clarkson's remarkable success against
the hard-hitting world champions of De-
trOit is one of the wonders of the base
ball world, and yet it furnishes the key
to his success. His theory is that every
player has his weak point as batsman,
and he studies the man until he finds
that weak point. That is what he has
done with the Detroits. Then he never
gets ratified, but invariably keeps his
head when he gets into tight box.
and shoots al He t IS i bg strong man as
he is five feet ten inches tall, and weighs
100 pounds; but that is not all. What
is far more important, he is brainy
fellow, and is head pitcher.

Forster Is HopefuI.

Thomas Forster, who will play short
stop and captain the Milwaukees this
season, arrived in the city last evening,
says the Milwaukee Wisconsin. and
will be here about week, when, in
company with Manager Hart, he will go
to Louisville. Forster is looking very
well, and says he hopes to play short
stop the entire season, as that is his
home position. He says the Milwaukee
team is very strong one in his estima-
pitchers shenk Ferson and HNr sa
and baseman, and Pettee will become a
fayOrite.

TROUNCED AT LOUISVILLE.
Barnes Aggregation Doesn't Win
But Makes Some Money.

Special to the Globe.
LOUISVILLE, KY, April THE De-
troits were detained by wreck south
of Nashville, and as Manager Barnes
and the ST. Paul team had arrived from
Cincinnati at noon, game with the
Louisville and St. Paul was arranged,
which was witnessed by 1900 people. A
combination of circumstances is re-
sponsible for st. Paul's defeat, although
Ramsey, who pitched the first seven
innings, was hit only five times. The
kumpire's decision on base plays were
rank against the visitors. Anderson
was pitched for five innings, during
which eight hits were made by the
Louisville batters. Manager Barnes
wanted to practice as many pitchers as
possible, and SOwderS was put in the
boX.5He struck out two of the first three
batterS. Before he went to the field
again he received telegram stating
that his father had just died in Indian
apolis, and this sudden blow seemed to
unman the promising young pitcher. The
Louisvilles succeeded in making five
hits in the last three innings, which
melted six runs. The St. Pauls made
two runs in the third inning, when An
derS0n got MS base on DallS ana scored
when Murphy paralyzed Ramsey with
three-bagger to the right field fence.
Murphy scored on sacrifice hit by Car
roll. Ind the fifth Anderson hit safely
and scored from second on a wild pitch.
Murphy and Shafer carried off the
fielding as well as batting honors, the
former making two splendid running
catches in center that looked safe for
three-baggers. Kemmler cought great
game, and his error on a poor throw to
second was eXcusable. Pickett, Nor
rissey and Sowders all fumbled ground
ers, which gave them errors. Sowders
left for indianapolis tonight, and
Anderson and Kemmler will be the bat
terry to-day. Manager Barnes says that
Duryea's broken finger, received in the
Cincinnati game yesterday, will prevent
him from working for at least two
months.

can qrartette having the best
chance for the pennant, and had
been practicing several weeks in
the South, while the st. Paul men
made their first appearance for the sea-
son on ball field last Wednesday after
noon, and victory under such ci1cum-
stances would have been mere chance.
But in the three days some things came
to the surface which may be safely
commented upon. The team is plainly
made up of excellent tielders and
MAGNIFICENT BASE RUNNERS.
In these respects it is much stronger
than that of last year. 1t is already
evident that its opponents, if they win
at all, must do it by clean, hard hitting.
Seven of the men-Murphy, Carroll,
Shafer, Earle, Reilly, Quest and Pickett
are remarkably swift of foot and will
make record if they get on the bases.
But here is the rub. Will they get on
the bases? What are the chances? In
the three games at Cincinnati they faced
Elmer Smith, the Reds best pitcher;
Serad, their poorest; Mullane, an eX-
cellent twirler, and Hart. an average
Man. In the first game st. Paul made
third Ska total of eleven in three
games. This display of great weak
Ass with the willow. 1t may be
mere accident. Let US hope
zhat it is. But there are those who ex-
sress the fear thatthe team is not strong
9th the stick. They urge that there is
.Sobody left to make home runs like
Cleveland, and nobody to bang the ball
afield for two or three bases like Crooks
and Wilmot and Sowders. They point to
Duluth's team of 1887 as an example OF
splendid team work, extraordinarily
clean and pretty fielding and speedy
base running, and still the Zenith City
club won but few games. The hitting
of the team for the next two weeks will
be watched with interest, and the doubt
ers may find that the newmen are quite
handy with the bat. There are still
others who fear that
THE PITCHERS
are not going to prove a success; that
the new material will not fill the places
too, is a debatable question. Duryea
and Anderson made good showing at
Cincinnati; Veach has done some Won
derfully clever pitching in his time and
Tuckerman is an average tWirler. Of
course. SOWders and Vogel are expert
ments. They have done we'll among
amateurs; but this has but trifiing sig
nifcance. Sowders is said to have
pitched well at Cincinnati, but this may
we'll be doubted. The Reds touched
him up for thirteen hits and stole twelve
bases, the latter item being particu-
larly bad showing. At the outset the
pitchers do not appear to be as strong
as those of Des MoineS, Omaha and
Kansas City, but they may turn out
much better than most people expect.
If the team develops strength in the
box and good eye for the ball, it may
enter the race for the pennant as a
dark horse.o

From Columbus.
COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 9th, 1888.


| To the Editor of the Standard.
In company with DR.. Kitchen 1 left
Jackson on Friday. Jan. 9th, at ii o'clock
a. m., over the o. S. r. r., arriving at
Columbus at p m., boarded street cars
for State House, where I was introduced
to several members of the House and
other officials connected therein. / find
them to be jolly good lot of fellows, so
far as have got aquainted. One of the
most popular men in the House is our
own Representative from Jackson, Hon.
Benjamin F. Kitchen. There is one
other that I wish to specially mention
and that is Fred. Blenkner, Third Assist
ant Serg't-at-Arms of the House. I took
liking to Fred. on sight, and the more
see of him the more my admiration for
increases. have got him sized up as
a whole-souled, genial, good-natured fel-
low. He is all attention to business. He
can give more information about the
House of Representatives and the State
House in general than any other man in
Columbus.
l have been informed that during the
war while Fred. was a soldier they had
to send for him to come home to take
charge of the House and run it. So you
see by that Fred. is a hustler. There are
others I will notice some time in the fu-
t1re. visited the Relic Room yesterday.
The Rebel Flags are still there and so is
Rebel Gen. Buckner's gloves and many
other articles captured by the Boys in
Blue from the Rebels. There was one
relic in there which impressed me very
much, and that was piece of wood from
the old ship on which Francis Scott Key
wrote his immortal "Star Spangle Ban
ner." Long may she wave over the land
of the free, and the home of the brave.
l attended church yesterday at the home
Mission in the morning and at night at
Wesley Chapel, and listened to very
able sermon. did not learn the Pastors
name, but he is a fine speaker.

to get into Ship and go before him unto the other
side, while he sent the multitudes away.
23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he

2I But the ship now in the midst of the sea-
tossed with waves; for the wind was contrary.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went
unto them, walking on the sea-
sea, they troubled, saying, 1t is spirit; and
they cried out for fear.
81 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying,
Be of good cheer; it is L; be not afraid.
2S And Peter answered him and said, Lord, If it be
thou bid me come to thee on the water.
20 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come
down out of the ship, he walked the water to go
TO Jesus
afrad and beginning to sink he CRIED saying Lord,
81 And Immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand,
and caught him. and said unto him, thou Of little
faith, whereof dfdst thou doubt?
50 And when they come into the Ship the
wind ceased.
33 Theu they that were in the came and worsh1ped
him, saying, OF truth thou art the Son of God
81 And when they gone over, they came into
the land of Gennesaret.
35 And when the of that place had knowledge
of him, they went out into all that coun try round
about, and brought unto him all that were diseased
36 And besought him that they might only touch
the hem of his garment and as many as were touched
were made perfectly whole.

SUCCESS Soon TO Crown THE COM
PANY's EFFORTS


One who is thoroughly acquainted with
the work of the Wood-Coffman Co., has
handed us the following, concerning the
progress the Company is making:
"The Wood Coffman Co. is making fair
progress in the past ten days in selling
lots. Many parties from other towns and
from the country are buying them as an
investment. There are still about sixty
lots to be sold in the corporation. Our
business men should take them at once,
and not wait for the Company to find par
ties to buy them as an investment-yet
they can soon be disposed of in that way.
Our people should buy them at once.
When Jackson secures this enterprise, we
are at the beginning Of great prosperity,
and real estate viii advance twenty per
cent in sixty days. Farmers, mechanics,
business men, doyour duty, and do it now"
1t does seem that this enterprise prom
ises better results than anything yet sug-
gested in the way of new enterprises.
The company should be ready to begin
work as soon as spring sets in. Buy a
lot-everybody. Close the business up,
and start the work.
