ROwE's MEN RAzzhED.
The MilIers Pound Game Out
of the CarbOnates.

1--WE got a man." said Dave Rowe,
Thursday night, "that, if he don't drop
dead tonight, will make monkeys out of
Minneapolis tomorrow" McNabb did
not drop dead but Rowe came near
expiring in the Seventhinning, when the
locals pounded the ball all over the lot.
They made fifteen singles, with a total
of twenty-five, off the Texas shoestring,
and seemed sorry that the game could
not continue all night that they might
swell their batting averages. The Car
Donates batted we'll, but never in the
right place. They put up ii brilliant
fielding game, with the exception of
Rowe, who was standing on his mead
most of the time, and played like
schoolboy. Minneapolis made some
bad errors, but they did not prove cost
ly. The game started off in most ex-
citing manner. Both teams were anx-
ious to win and played hard. Carroll
missed three swlpes in the first, and
Wilson threw to Rowe, who didn't seem
to have his hands with him, and he
juggled the ball in a manner that
pleased the audience. Carroll tried to
steal second, but the ball got there
ahead of him. Foster got his base on
balls, stole second and third, and came
home on Wilson's bad throw to White
head. Three more got on bases, but
good fielding left them there. In the
second, Hudson opened with a home
run, Dugdale got first OH another rank
tumble by Rowe, Carroll was disposed
of on strikes, and Minnehap and Foster
made hits, but the next two went out
easily. Denver had failed to score in
the first two although men had been on
bases. In the first. McGlone opened
with long tWo-base drive, Mcclellan
followed with hit, and stole second.
The crowd was blue. Then Carroll
sneaked in from left field so slyIy that
no one saw him. Dugdale threw him
the ball to second, putting out McClel-
Ian. and the little left fielder got it to
the plate in time 10 catch McGlone. 1t
was brilliant piece of work, and the
$500 people went wild. In the second,
Curtis got first Oh Miller's bad throw,
and Rowe gained the same sack on
Hudson's tumble and bad throw to Ryn,
who sent the ball to Miller in time
to catch Curtis. Rowe took
third on Ryn's error after White
had made hit, but was thrown out at
the plate by O'Day's quick return of the

of the business and wash my hands
clean of it all when the hour comes"
sAnd you see no salvatiOn?
sNone except the withdrawal of the
Players league from the field"
Mr.. Spalding then figured up the at
tendance at the games played thus far
this week. His figures showed that in
thirteen games the league had an aggre-
gate attendance of Is. 126 people, while
in fourteen games the brotherhood drew
10, 127, an average for the league of l 1853,
and for the brotherhood of 937. The
average for the league alone, for the
past two or three years, was about 8, 400.
At an average of 81 cents per head, and
not allowing for the large compliment
airy list, the average receipts per club
per game in the four best paying
league cities in the country. this week,
has been 1924, or about enough to pay
travelling expenses, advertising and
other incidentals of putting the game
on the field, exclusive of salaries.
sion. Il am going to make prediction.
If it should chance to rain on Decora-
ton day, the Players league will find it
difficult to sail their craft through June.
That is to say, the moneyed men who
are waiting for Decoration day to repay
them for their losses will have had
enough sport to satisfy them for life.
In case it should not rain on Decoration
day, then I'll postpone the crash until
midsummer. Should it rain on July f.,
the Players league will explode like
giant firecracker before the season
is over. Should it rain ON neither day,
and the attendance continue as poor as
it is now, the Players league will not
open second season.

SACRIFICED BY SIOUX.
The Apostles Easily Taken Into
Camp by the Indians.

Yesterdays perfect weather chased a
fair-sized crowd to the ball game; but
the blue sky that bent over Athletic
park was no Dluer than the aforesaid
crowd when the game ended. And yet
it was pretty game, Withal, though st.
Paul was not in it. Sioux City plays
ball and plays it all the time, and the
confidence of the Indians brings them
the luck that has grown proverbial with
them. Siebel pitched a strong game.
He had playful habit of keeDing.the
ball up about the necks of the Apostles,
just where they could not hit it,
and just where they knew they
could not; so it was amusing to
see the logged pertInacity with
which they would saw the air
remote from the curving sphere.
Meekin pitched his usual good game.
and was not hit hard, but the safe hit
ting was discOuragIngly seQuential, and
counted. The Indians made but two
hits that were not productive of runs.
Up to the seventh inning, while the lead
was within reach, the game was quite
interesting, aud abounded i'll pretty
plays. Phillips made several fine stops.
Abbey pulled down pretty running
line hit to right, and Hanrahan squeezed
a difficult fly back of third Young Mr..
Leach, with Apolloesque curls, impur-
turbable cast of countenance and
bad hearing, made his first APP
pearance as umpire, and bore
meekly the mingled jeers and APP
plauSe. ST. Paul made its solitary run
In the first INNING. Murphy made a
scratch hit, stole second and scored on
q singing liner by HAYES, which Gen
ms fumbled. Meanwhile Abbey struck
out, Daily got first on balls,
and the man was left there
by succeeding outs. Sioux City
promptly tied the score on Blacks sim
gle and steal and CroSsley'S single. In
the second Genins banged the ball
against the fence for two bases, and
two men trotted home, when Siebel
basted it over the right field fence.
Close fielding and light hitting fur
nished blanks all around until the sew
enth inning, when the Indians again got
in their work. Abbey got GeninS' line
drive to right and Phillips gave Siebel a
life by wide throw to first. Hits by
Cline and Black. Crossley's sacrifice
and wild pitch chased three runs over

VIRGINIANS KICK.
They Don't Want Prize Fights
the Old Dominion.

They Don't Want Prize Fights in
the Old Dominion.
RICHMOND, Va, May 23.-The an
nouncement in dispatches sent out from
New York to the effect that John L.
Sullivan had agreed to come to Virginia
and fight Joe McAuliffe for $4,000 in
July and the negro Jackson for $685.
600 in August, has attracted atten-
ton among the officials in this
state. 1t was represented that
j. M. Bailey, one of the cor
porators of the Virginia Sporting asso-
cation, whose charter of incorporation
was rushed through the legislature in
its closing hours last session, had con-
ference with Sullivan with the result
mentioned. Mr.. Bailey and those in
tereSted with him in this association
claim that under their charter they
have perfect right to have ON thefr
in violation of the laws of
Virginia. If any arrangement has
been made with Sullivan and
other prize fighters to slug" in this
state, it remains to be seen whether
they will be permitted to do so. The
unanimous sentiment of the authorities
and the people is against it. Some of
the best lawyers here claim that a fatal
defect in the act incorporating the com
pany upon whose grounds it is pro-
posed that Sullivan shalt fight, is the
failure to cite the law which it claims
to have repealed. This is a
constitutional requirement and will
be shown when this matter comes up
before the courts. Under the present
law prize fighting is punishable by i'm
prisonment in the state prison for not
less than five years and a fine of 81, 600.
If Sullivan or any other prize fighters
come to this state for the purpose Of
pounding each other, they are almost
certain to be arrested as soon as they
put foot q Virginia. soil, Land the valid
ity of the charter will then be tested.

Spalding Says the League Will
Never Give Up.

never Give up.
! CHICAGO, May 23.-''I remarked
some time ago." said President A. G.
Spalding. of the Chicago league club,
to-day, THAT the interest in professional
base ball playing in leading cities was
dying out. l have seen nothing since
to change my views. l want to call
YOUR attention to the extraordinarily
poor attendance at the games played in
tine East for the past week. The eight
games of bali played by the Players
and the National league do not draw
out half as many people as four games
of the league were wont to do in the
past"
"What are you going to do about it?"
Going to do about It? Well, Pll tell
YOU what | am going to do about it. l
am going to stick in this fight until
every one of my league partners deserts
me. | am for war, uncomprOmislng,
and without quarter. I was opposed to
it at first, but now want to fight until
one of US drops dead. Mind you, the
work has not yet begun. The National
league was built up by fourteen years
of the most assiduOuS labor. We had
one grand enemy to fight. That enemy
was decentralization. 1t faced us in
many guises-crooked base ball,
dirty work on the field, rough ele-
ments, want of discipline, lack of con-
fidence. We met them all, cut our
hands little. but we won. Now we
have to face the old problem again. But
as yet only the opening guns have been
fired. The slaughter is yet to come.
And the league is prepared for slaughter.
Il can see clearly the outlines OF the
future. Ii the Players league lasts
there will be twenty base ball.
Sunday games. beer will flow in grand
stands and the industry will be ruined
by utter destruction as the grand finale
of the play. The league, promise you,
will hold on until it is dashed to pieces
against the rocks of rebellion and de-
nera!iza.loi.. l stand ready to goout

THE MAN In THE BUSHES.
A Scene at a Railroad Station in
South Carolina.

South Carolina.
New York Sun.
There were eight Of us sitting on
some cotton bales at little railroad
station in South Carolina, waiting for a
train which wasn't expected for nearly
an hour. Right opposite US was strip
of forest, and presently we saw man
bend aside bush and survey us in a
cautious manner. Every one saw him,
and yet no one offered any explanation
of his presence until he had stood
there for three or four minutes. Then
a woman from Arkansas laid aside her
Snuff-Stick and observed:
"Really, now, if was home should
reckon that fellow means shute, and |
should hurry to make myself skass."
s'He can't want to shoot any of u.s."
replied one of the men.
''Guess I'll make shore of that by
wakin' him up" said Georgian, as he
got out his revolver. Before he could
fire there was report of gun behind
us. followed by a yell, and native
climbed over the bales, gun i'll hand,
and started to cross the double tracks.
He was not over the first when there
was shot from the bushes, and the
man in front of us spun around like a
top, dropped his gun andre upon the
rails. Then, before any of us had
moved, a second native came out of the
rushes with smoking gun in his hand.
and, as he bent over the figure on the
ground, he laughed:
''Ha! ha! ha! [ jist dropped at yer
fibe so as to git the drop on you. guess
you won't bother me no mo-"
When he had gone we went to the aid
of the other. AS we pulled him off the
track he struggled up, reached for his
gun, and looked around and said:
"Much obleeged, but faint nothin'.
The ornery skunk has jist left bullet
in my shouider-that's all. l thought l
had bead on him, but he drapped too
quick fur me. Any of you all got any
terbacker? Thanks. l reckon Ill go
home and hev the old woman try and
