GETTING WARM.

The Entente COrdiaIe Between the
Browns and Jokers Disrupted.
The Browns have crept away down
into their hole and covered them
selves up with the determination not
to face the Jokers i'm a game of ball as
long as their (the BrownsO present
manager holds the reins of that club.
On the 2Sth Of June the Jokers in
tended to go to Corpus Christi on the
X. of P. excursion, but as some of
their players, to-wit: Second base
man, short stop, LETT and center field
ers, who cannot be equalled by any
ii the Browns players or any players
of the city in their respective posi-
itons. could not get away from bust
ness, the club did not 60. Previous
to that the Jokers had standing
challenge, (which, by the way, has
not yet been accepted in the LIGHT
to play any club In the city and the
Browns had accepted it from the
Jokers' manager, who, thinking the
club would go to Corpus Christi, did
not arrange q game for the following
Sunday, but agreed 10 play after the
club would return. The club did not
60 and the Browns have never since
mentioned anything about that game.
The reasons why the Browns will
not cross sticks with the Jokers are
not too lengthy, but rather too empty
One reason, it Is said, Is because the
Jokers have black balled the present
manager, who, before that club was
organized, had sent in his application
as a player of the Joker club, and
they say they will not play that team
until the players who voted may"
apologize to him. This was brought
before the last meeting of the club,
and the suggestions OF the players led
to the effect that they would not
apologize, for there is no reason, and
they meant everything they said and
voted. But the simplest reason for
not playing is that they are afraid
and predict a defeat. If the Jokers
could not wipe up the earth with that
Brown club they would never show
themselves on q ball field again.
At any time the Browns are ready
to cross bats with the Jokers they can
be accommodated.
The Jokers have never made such
cracks as to challenge any club in the
state from $500 to $1,000, openly in the
papers, and when the challenge finds
taker, then "take water" The
Jokers do not belive in keeping up a
lengthy newspaper controversy, but
if necessary, can do so. They want
to come right down on the green and
play base ball like "vets," which
they will do at the next opportunity
offered them. They will play the
Post Nine i'm the near future, and let
the Browns come out and take point
ers on sharp plays.

Changes in the Missouri.

The maps of the country which were
gotten up thirty or thirty five years ago
all show the Missouri River emptyine
into the Mississippi directly opposite AL
ton, Ill, and they were correct in having
it so, although such is not the case now.
The well-known propensity of the Mis-
souri, River to change its channel on ac-
count of the wearing away of its banks is
as apparent near the mouth of the strea.
as at any other point along its course.
The lower side OF the river has been
gradually wearing away and the deposits
filling in at the upper side until the
mouth of the Missouri is now about three
miles nearer to St. Louis than it was
thirty years ago. 1t is still wearing its
way southwark at this point, and it is
not improbable that the mouth of the
Missouri may be as far down MS the Chain
of Rocks in course of time, or even fur
ther. [St Louis Globe Democrat.
