strikers realize that if they are beaten
In this strike, In which they have the
public sympathy. 1t will put m end 10
the power of unions in ST. Paul and
Minneapolis; on the other hand, the
company realizes that II the strike Is q
success, in future the labor orgInizs-
tions will control such matters in 81.
Paul and Minneapolis. In the mean.
time we can only wait the result with
interest.
A DIFFERENT SORT OF A STRIKER.
There Is one sort Of man who
doesn't care whether there is a strike
or 1ot, and he is what is commonly
known as base ball crank-now that
the season has opened nothing else
has any interest for him. April Goth
the season opens in the western associ-
alton, and we are watching anxiously
to see how the 81, Paul club shows up.
Sioux City came u0 last week and
were taken into camp in good shape.
Our boys showed ~ good form and
the cranks are positive that the pen
nant will float over Athletic park ct
the end Of this seRon. However,
Milwaukee is going to make a pretty
high bid for the rag. ano Denver won't
be very far behind. Milwaukee has q
club composed almost entirely of ex-
national league players, and the pa-
pers Of that burg think 81. Paul won't
be anywhere, but II we aren't pretty
near the top at the end OF ths season,
l miss my guess. Minneapolis is an
unknown factor in the race and may
surprise all Of them, but II is gener-
ally conceded that the race il between
St. Paul, Milwaukee, Denver and
Omaha. We heve pretty good
opinion OF the playing that Is done in
our league since the Chicago and All
American teams were beaten 30 badly
by our club last fall. The new rule OF
taking base on four balls is not prov
ing bowling success, and the sooner
IL is done away with the better for the
national game. Last year the Mime
apolis team was unable 10 complete
the season because they couldn't
make ends meet without playing snn-
day games. How they will make out
this year without breaking theSabba,h
remains to be seen. 1t queer fact
that IN Minneapolis they prohibit
sunday ball playing and allow prize
fighting, while, in the sanity city,
every man Jack turns out 20 the Sum
day ball games, but we draw the line
at prize fights. Itisa much mooted
question which is the worse, Sunday
ball playing or prize fights; still, Min
neapolis doesn't care so much for the
manly art since our Pat Killen
knocked out their champion, Patsy
Cardiff. The shows that draw the
crowds here are wrestling matches.
Evan Lewis IL here In our bosoms,
aud when be goes away be will take
many a big round st. Paul dollar.
Saturday evening Lewis Il Mcmillan
will wrestle for the championship of
the world, (so the bill ssy-). and
whether il is Stake" or not they are
sure to reap a golden harvest. For the
rest of the season we shall have TO con.
tent ourselves with what we can get
In the way of attractions at the the
atres, but on October LIST the new
Arcade" will be opened by Booth,
Barrett & Modieska combination, fol-
lowing which will be a iist OF first
class attractions, only; no more barn
storming companies. Of which we
have had too many in the past. This
week the boards OF the New Market
are held down for three nights by
: Dockstrader's Minstrels, which are
disappointing after all we have heard
about them, and the last part OF the
week by Coup's Horse Show; follow
these will come two good attractions
In Fanny Davenport In "La ToscA," ("
and Robert Mantel In "Montbars."
Notwithstanding the poor crops in
many sections tributary to st. Paul,
business is rushing ln all lines, partic'
ularly the Wholesale business, and the
amount of building that is doing. is
unprecedented. MINNESOTA.
