Eleven Clerks Unable to Work as .
Result of the Kn1iuenxa.
Postmaster Rrookes had notice up in
the postoffice yesterday stating that on ac-
count OF hall his clerks being sick he was
unable to promptly deliver and dispatch
nails. He said that the clerks were not
only suffering with bad colds, bat we're
oyerworketl
There are eleven in all unable 10 work,
three box clerks, two mailing clerks, ;
general delivery clerk, a letter delivery
clerk, paper delivery clerk and three car
riers. The clerks on Gaty are not feeling
well and fear an attack OF the dreaded
influenza.
AS a result of this sickness. the mail is
stacked mp in the postoiiice in great shape.
Sundays mail was not distributed until
yesterday noon. and yesterdays mail was
delivered late last night. This only refers
10 the letter mail. as there are eight days
paper mail unhandled in the office. The
outgoing mail. however. is being handled
promptly and in full. To satisfy the BUSH
ness public as much as possible. Postmaster
Brooks has engaged Miss C. Lyon. who
used to act as box clerk, TO assist until
some of the clerks are able 10 go to work
again.
Railway Postal Clerks f. 5. Robinson
and Alva Ames, when ashore on alternate
trips, act as mailing clerks in the Office,
ana this relieves the blockade very mater
ially
The clerks who are sick have been laid
mp only a few days end it Is hoped that
they will soon he able TO return to duty,
when the oyerplus of mail matter will be
rapidly disposed of and the usual prompt
ness restored.

Manager Barnes Talks Enter

The actions of the Minneapolis alder
men who are trying TO prevent the base
ball grounds from being located at the
new site near the West hotel is causing
more or less comment among Minneapo-
lis business men. Manager Morton, in
speaking of the matter yesterday, said:
UNLESS the grounds can be located
there it is probable that there will be
no team in Minneapolis. for 10 one
would be foolish enough to throw away
$4,000 IN cold cash when there is no
show Of getting it back. 1t must be I'M
derstood that no Sunday games are to
be played on these grounds, as manv
suppose. We do hot want to play on
Sunday. To 60 down to the old grounds
in South Minneapolis to play ball is
simply out of the question, for it would
be suicidal in the first place. and then,
again, no club could live without Sun
day games down there. 1t is not our
intention to annoy any one, and it does
n~> seem to me that the residents
arouh> the new grounds will be in any
way offended by us. As far as / can
learn the persons owning property
around there are pleased at the pros
E-et of having the games played SO near
Pa .itv. .

THE REDS COMPLETE.
Elmer smith the Last PorkOpIs
PLAYER to Sign.

CINCINNATI, March 9.-The Cincin-
natl club can. lays claim to the honor of
being the first club in either the Ameri-
can Association or League to complete
its team for 1889. The roster of players
for next season is full. Elmer
Smith, the only ''hold-out,"
has signed Cincinnati contract.
and he will be here on the 18th inst. to
go in the Cincinnati gymnasium with
the rest of the players. Yesterday Col.
Harry Sterne received telegram from
President Stern, telling him that Elmer
Smith had come to terms. This
makes fourteen players under contract,
and will comprise the Cincinnati team
for 1889. With four pitchers. three
satchers, and all the out and infield po-
sitions filled, the team is well fortified.
1t is possible that utility man may be
signed, but al present the management
has no particular player in view. The
Cincinnatis for 1889 will be particularly
strong in batteries. No team can show
stronger quartetbe Of pitchers than
Mullane, Wan, Smith and Duryea, and
in catchers the team has a great trio in
Baldwin, keenan, and Earle.

distance of Chicago. "Parson" Davies,
in whose hands the final arrangements
for the fight were left,di not arrive last
night, as expected, which perhaps may
be explained by the fact that Davies had
two strings to his bow in making his
Eastern pilgrimage. The first was I'M
doubleday the signatures to articles of
agreement which would insure a meet
ing between the Spider and his English
antagonist, the second was a deep-laid
scheme to bring about mill between
the Streator lad and Mike Daly,>of Ban
Agor. There is but little question but
that DAILY can get the necessary back
ing and that such meeting would give
an opportunity to witness light weight
light that could go on record. In let
ter from Boston, leading admirer Of
the manly art says: I'VE saved our
money on the Myer fight and learned
lesson. but we believe we can
meet your cyclone and show
you the path of a blizzard. If the
'Parson' means business we can accom-
MEDIATE him, and will be glad TO take a
trip to Chicago, where, if reports are
true, Jack had the fairest kind of treat
ment. | believe Mike and Myer will be
matched and that there will be no
draw" There would be no difficulty in
securing suitable purse for the meet
ing and after the "bantams" have set
tied their little difficulty it will be in

WINNIPEG, Man., March 9.-To-day
was a big day for Americans in the
curling bonspiel, they having won in
the Manitoba VS.. all-comers and inter-
national contests, thus securing two of
the best prizes. The protest against
the Grulph rink playing in the all
Corners match was allowed. and the vic
tory was given to the all-comers over
the Manitoba Kinks. In the play-off be-
tween the all-comers, Rogers, of the st.
Paul rink, was drawn against Flavelle,
of Lindsay, Ont. After a hard-fought
game Rogers won by Is to IA points.
The Portage, Wis, rink then refused to
play, being tired out and the match
was awarded to the st. Paul rink. The
International contest took place in the
morning; Harstone, of Winnipeg, being
pitted against Portage. Wis, and
Sparkling, of Portage La Prairie, against
st. Paul. This game was tIard-fOught
one, and at the finish the aggregate
scores were: Manitoba Kinks, 40:
American Kinks, 43. The respective
Kinks scored as follows: Sparkling, 1S;
HarstOne, %; total, 40. Portage, Wis,
%; st. Paul, 81; total, 43. The prize
was awarded to Portage. Points of
competition will be played on Monday
aud the American curriers' leave for
home Tuesday.

PRACTICALLY SETTLED.
-. Paul Has But One Player to
Sign.

'My team is practically complete"
said Manager Barnes to GLOBE man
yesterday afternoon, as he exhibited an
invitation to the Chicago ll-America
banquet in April. 1.-The contracts of all
the men except Carroll have been signed
and returned. | had letter from Car
roll a day Or two ago, and there is abso-
lutely no doubt that he will play in ST.
Paul this season.
"Will you attend the schedule meet
ing at Sioux City next Thursday"
gueried the GLOBE.
Ne. j am not member of the
schedule committee. There will prob
ably be little trouble in arranging
dates. understand ST. Paul, Mime
apolis, Milwaukee and Sioux City will
open the season with Des Moines, st.
Joe, Omaha, and Denver, on the home
grounds of the latter. and if the weather
is good and the teams all stick to the
association. we will move around the
circle with pleasing regularity"
"What truth is there in the story that
the railways will insist on full fares
from ball teamS?"
''If they did that we would have to go
out of the base ball business altogether.
We are now discussing the matter. and
expect to get fair treatment. OF course,
these be troublOus times in the railway
world, and we may not do so well as we
hope. Ii we find transportation cats
too big figure we will arrange a sehed-
ule of sixteen games between each two
clubs, playing four on each trip, in
which case it would be necessary to
visit each town but twice. This, how
ever, would be last resort, as the play
ing OF so many games in succession I'D q
city would add to the mOnOtony to the
detriment Of the treasury. Probably
the schedule will be for l26 games, and
the season will be likely to open in st.
Paul about May 10.'
You remember your trouble about
grounds last year. What are the pros
poets this time?''
1--WE could play ball on the Wea side
park this year on the 18th of April.
There will be no flood this season. The
snow has all left the ground here, there
is very little i'll the woods, and the Mis-
sissippi viii not leave It's banks. | eX-

"What do you think of the relative
strength of the teams of the Twin
Cities?"
You observe l have challenged
Morton to a series Of six games. the
winner to take all the gate receipts.
This is the estimate I make of my team.

aided all around the globe, John l.. Sui
Ivan and Jake Kilrain have been
matched to fight for $4,000 side and
the heavyweight championship of the
world, the meeting to occur about the 1st
of June within 800 miles of New Orleans.
Everything has been arranged except
the location. Here comes the rub. In
Louis ana the law forbids prize-fighting
and hence it was deemed advisable not
to attempt to fight in that state. Then
there was some talk about selecting Ell
PaSo for the fight and the citizens and
business men of that city went so far as
to offer 900 for it. But the authori-
ties took action which precluded the
possibility of the fight occurring any
where around there. There is no state
law which would operate to prevent
the fight, and the community that is
willing to allow the meeting will
be selected. Harry Maynard, of San
Francisco, who is representing Richard
K. Fox, is at present In the city casting

the champion lightweight of the South,
and has been identified with pugilistic
enterprises for years. He has managed
Mitchell and Dempsey, and bears medals
and letters from Richard K. Fox to
prove his authority to act in the matt er
referred to. Speaking to reporter. he
said:
''If can be convinced that the fight
would not be interfered with, ] can
bring it to this town. That's all we
want. 1t is one of the biggest matches
in the history of the ring, and will at
tract the best class of sportsmen from

can imagine with thousands of these

money it would be worth to you. The
fight is bound to occur. After all. it is
legitimate sport, and why should il not
be tolerated, just the same as gambling,
cOck-fghting and that sort of sport?
The only difference is this would be
worth big money to the town."
Maynard will stay here some days
and see what the outlook Is. and will
communicate with Mr.. Fox on the sub

AN ASIATIC MASCOT,
The Arrival of Walter Periera
From CeylOn,

New YORK, March 9.-Among the
Storage passengers on the steamship
Lohn to-day was Walter Periera, dark
compleyioned youth from Colombo,
island of CeS Ion. Periera seems to
have been persuaded to come to Amer
lea by falling in love with the game of
base bali. He says: II was a common
sailor on the steamer which landed the
American base ball teams at Adelaide,
Australia. While on the ship l made
the acquaintance of John Ward, Harry
Simpson and several more OF the play
ers. While talking with them l ex-
pressed wish TO come to the states, of
which l had heard SO much about but
had never seen. The boys Immediately
made up purse for me and started me
on my journey to America / have
letters OF introduction to Walter Spald-
ing from the players, who have also
promised to assist me when they return,
SO guess will have no trouble to earn
living" Later in the day repre-
sentative of Mr.. Spalding called at
Castle garden and took the young Las
car away with him. He has conceived
a great liking for Johnny Ward. and
bis intentions are evidently to play
mascot with the team that Ward will
play with this season.

STEALING BASES.
larry Wright Gives Young Play.
crs a Few Tins.

"There's great knack in stealing
bases" said Harry Wright the other
day. SIT is not the fastest runner who
steals the most bases, but the man who
gets the best start on the pitcher.
Every pitcher has some partlcu-
lar movement which he always
makes just before delivering the
bali. The base runner who discovers
these peculiarities and remembers them
can get the best start. Some pitchers
rise on their toes just as they are about
to pitch: others lean forward little in
order to get a greater swing. Bob Mat
thew's popularity was in expanding his
chest, he probably having found that he
could get more speed with his lungs
well filled. Any one who watch him
closely could detect the movementevery
time. There are other pitchers, like
Calvin. for instance, who are likely to fool
the base runner by half-back motion,
throwing TO first base with the same
motion used in pitching. The only way
to deal with such men is to take only
enough start to be able to easily get
back to the base. This will cause the
pitcher TO pay less attention to the run
ner. and the opportunities to steal VIII
be doubled"
