SELEE is SANGUINE.

OMAHA, March 23.-Manager Frank
Selee, of the Omaha base ball team. has
arrived from Melrose, Mass. En- route
here he stopped off at Oswego, n. Y,
and had an interview with Pitcher
Clarke, who he succeeded in signing
before he got through. Clarke, Selee
reports. is in tip-top condition, pitching
better than ever, and ready to go
right in the box tomorrow.
Canavan, who resides at Spring
field, was also seen, and is said to be in
great shape for the opening of the sea-
son. He is hard as nails, weighs 100
pounds. and is one of the favorite ball
tOssers of the East. He stands high in
the estimation of such men as Tim Muir
name, Managers Burnham, Brochett
and players Conway, Cudworth and
others.
81 don't see why" remarked Man
ager Selee, tive are not just as strong
this season, with possibly the exception
of the box, as we were last season. In
fact, all the Western association teams
have lost some of their star pitchers,
like Lovett, Hutchinson and others !;
but in their general makeup / fail to
see any decrease in strength. We will
see just as good ball this season as we
did last, Notwithstanding the salary.
''Campana has been released simply
from the fact that he was signed before
the limit was adopted, and he refused to
play for less than he thought he was
worth.
Leighton, onr new center-ielder, is
a big fellow, and his last seasons man
ager told me that he would as soon have
him as Cudworth, taking batting, base
running and everything into considera-
ton. In catchers have Nagle, COoney
and Strauss. Nagle, however, will be
the main backstOp, and make an effort
to beat the record, as he would just as
soon catch as eat.

Omaha club expressed himself as salts
fed with the schedule, the news
papers in the Nebraska metropolis are
bowling about it, and Omaha will prob
ably join the insurgents. Something
must be done, or the Western associa-
tion will begin its season badly handi-
capped with discomfort. Manager Ezra
Sutton has arrived from his home. In
Palmyra, n. Y. He is eager for the
battle with the bats, and it is expected
that he will make the Milwaukee
boys show at the front. Mr..
Sutton is of the opinion that
the Western association is much
stronger this year than it was last
season. The Milwaukee boys will be
ordered to report at Louisville, between
April l and 5. The members Of the
team are now exercising daily in gym
nasla and making preparations for
showing the best that there is in them.
George Z. Winkelman, the pitcher
who purchased his release from
Milwaukee for $500, has signed
with the club at Hartford, Conn.
The players under contract are as fol

Manager Morton Makes Some
Statements Concerning Misrep-
resentations.
SIT does not seem to be generally
understood" said Manager Morton yes
terday, 'that the Minneapolis base ball
team does not intend to play any ball on
Sunday. The ministers appear to think
that we do, and have begun protesting.
Now, l would like to say in regard to
that, that | and all my players are OPP
posed to Sunday base ball and do not
intend to play a single game ON that
day while in Minneapolis. It's hard
enough to work six days in the week,
without adding one more. Then, again,
we do not want to give offense to any
one in any way. shape or manner.
''It is also charged that the base ball
park will be nuisance on account of
the noise which will be made. Let me
say that there will be no loud or bolster
Gus noise of any kind at any time. Of
course there will be applause, but any
one who is annoyed by that must be
easily annoyed by trifes. Nothing but
hand-clapping will be allowed, if we
CAN help it. In regard to liquor being
sold on the grounds, that is the height
of absurdity. No base ball player can
drink and play good ball. So you may
rest assured that we shall allow no
liquor on the grounds; and moreover, we
we will do all we can to prevent its
being sold anywhere near the grounds.
We do not want liquor there, and do not
intend to have it.
Gall our men will arrive in Mime
apolis no later than April 5, and will at
once begin practice. Between April IL
and 90 we will play seven exhibitions
with the ST. Paul team-three or four to
be played here and three or four in st.
Paul. ALI the boys will have travelling
suits alike. of gray cloth, which will
look neat all the time''

AMONG EASTERN CRACKS.
Badge and Terra Gotta Looming
for the Suburban.

ENEw YORK, March 23.-W hatever
speculation has been done on the SUI
burban handicap favors that stout little
hace-horse, Badge. and that speedy and
game horse, Terra Gotta. Both have
been heavily backed at Baltimore. and
one of the ST. Louis books have been
closed on them. 1t is said here that the
horses have been backed by their OWL
ers. Bella b, Champagne Charlie,
Clay Stockton, Egmont Judge
Murray, and Inspector B, have also
been backed in the Baltimore books.
Besides the two horses named the st.
Louis book is already full on Prince
Royal, Judge Murray, Wary aud Clay
Stockton. For the Brooklyn handicap
several horses are in demand. Those
that have been backed include Barris-
ter, Hanover, Judge Murray, Prime
Royal, Raceland. The Bard and Terra
Gotta. Many turfmen have gone to
Sheapshead bay during the week to
two-year-old colt. King Thomas. This
youngster, if appearance counts for any
thing, will make race-horse.
Matt Allen if now at work on
him every day, and giving him regu-
lar course of gallOps. The colt is ad-
mired by all who see him moving. He
has the clean and easy stride so charac-
terlStlc or his famous brothers, King
Fox and Ban Fox, and there is an I'M
preston at Sheepshead bay that the
colt will outdo the performance of the
two sons of King Ban who proceeded
him. That much-talked-of and that
much-thought-of colt, French Park, is
looking well and takes his work at Je-
rome park with apparent relish. Hy-
land keeps sharp eye on the colt and
says that so far his legs have not
troubled him. Hyland says there is
a good chance for French Parks
appearance in the Withers stakes in
which he will have to meet Fresno, the
Faverdale colt, Diablo and other GOOD
ones. Those interested in the welfare
of that thoroughly good horse Hanover,
will be glad to know that up to date
the great son of Hindoo bears out the
promise that he will train. He is
getting plenty of slow and steady work
every day. McCabe says that his legs
are all right so far, but that it will be
month yet before the horse will be i'm
any shape which will decide whether
he can go at 2:07 gait in the Brooklyn
Jockey club handicap. McCabe will
not hurry Hanover.

President Harrison is an admirer OF
base ball, and was a frequent visitor

President Cleveland, when he resided

MINNEAPOLIS CRANKs
And Their Perversity---A Substi.
tute for Hunting.

There is certain class of people in
Minneapolis, it seems, who are opposed
to all forms of legitimate sport, and
would compel every one to go to GER
tain church Sunday if they had the
power. Just why this is so, no one
seems to know. Base ball appears to be
the object of the most bitter at
tackS from CERTAIN members of
the council, and from the min
listers, while against dog-fghting
there is not protest made. At the last
meeting of the Presbyterian ministers
the question of base ball was brought
up, and, after long discussion of the
wickedness of the game, Rev. DR.. Bur-
rell was ppointed committee to wait
on the city council and protest against
Sunday games. Now, if the gentlemen
of the cloth knew as much as they pre-
tend to, or would even take the trouble
to look into such matters before they

begin their senseless kicking, they
would save themselves much annoy
ance and confer favor on a long-suf-
fering and patient public. 1t is ex-
pressly stated in the city ordi-
nances that there are to be no
Sunday games in Minneapolis, and
the base ball schedule has been
arranged with that end in view. Sec
retary Morton only smiled sad smile
when he learned of the action of the
ministers, as since coming here he has
stated repeatedly that no Sunday games
will be played in Minneapolis during
the coming season. why" said he,
''as soon as give it out that ne attempt
will be made to break that ordinance,
the ministers begin to make an outcry.
1t does not place them in a very flatter-
ing position, l am sure"
There are number of gun clubs in
Minneapolis and vicinity, and all are

can only be said that he is as apt to make
failure as success. During his stay
with the Pittsburgs and Athletics he
was kept on the bench most of the time,
presumably because both teams had
more trusty men to do their catching.
In minor teams, however. Farmer
proved good catcher. Tredway is a
green man whose prospects seem excel
lent. He is conscientious, agile. accu-
rate and strong. The other members of
the team are well known in st. Paul.
They are good players, every one. and
they are chating for chance to add to
their laurels. Here's good luck to the
team.

on the corner of First avenue and
Fifth street. There are two entrances
near it, one at each side. These en-
frances lead to the bleaching boards,
by passing along under the grand stand.
The entrances to the grand stand are
about three or four rods further along
and lead directly into the stand. The
grand stand has seating capacity of
1,S00, while the bleaching boards. on
either side of the grand stand, will hold
800 and possibly 900 each. The diamond
is out from the grand stand a short
distance, and the catcher faces the
corner opposite the stand. Everything
is remarkably well appointed, and the
grounds, when fully completed, will be
the finest in the Northwest.
