Base Ball Notes.

Sullivan is negotiating for the sale Of Pitcher
Widner to the st. Louis club has occasioned
considerable comment at this end of the line
There is no reason to suppose the information
untrue, except that in view Of the excellent
record Of the southern twirler in the box last
season it was expected that he would be re-
tanned until some of the young blood should
have been thoroughly tested, and, if found sat
isfactory. more money could probably be OBJ
tanned for Widner in June than before the
opening of the season. Doubtless it is thought
that keefe will answer as well as a relief for
Whitney and O'Day, while great faith is CEN
tered in Haddock. Widner made good many
friends among the public, who greatly adj
mired his fielding in the box-a feature of q
number of games in which he participated.
O'Day would probably have been disposed
of had the high and low ball rule been adopted.
One of his strongest points is his speedy low
ball. If compelled to give high ball when
wanted his effectiveness would have been con-
siderably lessened.
In all likelihood OBrien and Donnelly will
go to Columbus, unless their services are
wanted by league club, which is not probable.
John Ward is scoring decided success as
manager in Australia, according to the reports
from the travelling ball teams. 1t is said that
Capt. Arson acknowledges that he has a strong
rival in the judicious management Of ball
players.
Rowe is represented as saying that both
White and himself will play in Buffalo, and that
they are not fighting the reserve rule. but SIM
ply object to the defunct Detroit club selling
them to some other club regardless of their
personal feelings. He thinks Detroit will give
them their releases:

coded him. AL three were young men with an
appearance that emphasized their youthful
ness very considerably. Their reading was of
that smoothly -mOdulated character which
comes OF the modern school OF elocution. The
one who succeeded them was Of another kind.
His broad shoulders were surmounted by
large head A full beard and moustache of
brOwn-gray hue, and a good deal of iron-gray

Caledonia was visible in every feature and the
first few words uttered confirmed the Scotch
characteristics OF the man, whose right coat
sleeve hung limp at his side. It was Major ].
w. Powell, the director Of the United States
geological survey, and he at once claimed the
attention OF the audience, and with Che aid Of
ALANauAaE MAP OF NORTH AMERICA,
held it to the end of the morning session. The
majors remarks were interesting in their ma
ture, and the native wit which he occasionally
infused into them kept the crowdin good humor.
He said that there were in the United States not
less than seventy-three distinct stocks of lam
guage and a large number of dialects. In con-
clusion Maj. Powell referred to the attempt Of
certain scientists who had tried to design uni
versal language. He satirized Volapuk and stated
positively that it was language In which no
man would ever be able to express himself; it
sideration from civilization and would get
none. His denunciations we're heartily ap-
plauded by an amused audience.
