Notes of Interest Gathered from the Scene
of Strife.
Harry Ketcham, young millionaire
and an ardent admirer of athletic sports,
especially of base ball, has taken hold Of
the Toledo club, just admitted to the
American Association. he ia, in fact, the
owner, having bought up all the stock ex
cspt few shares. He has already pur
chased new and better ground for his
team, and will have large and handsome
grand stand erected by the time the cam
paign opens.
Pitcher Person, now under contract with
Buffalo for a salary Of 81 900, is anxious to
DIN the Boston League team. He has
written to the directors of that club, set
ting his figure at $1,000, with $500 ad-
vance. President SOden is well aware of
the reception contract jumper would re-
ceive al the South End grounds, and will
think long while before giving one of
these men fancy salary.
The rumors that Toronto will Join the
American Association are all rot Toronto
would not last out half the season. In the
fret place a $40, 900 team would have to
be secured, and the railroad fares between
Toronto, st. Louis and Philadelphia
would be more than club in this city
could stand. There is not much chance
of Mr.. Mcconnell joining the association,
and, az for Rochester and Toledo, they
wish they had remained in the 1nterna-
onsl.-TorOntO Empire.
Director Billings drove over TO have q
look at the Players ground this week. He
don't think they are in good location,
and wanted to wager Arthur Irwin 81 900
that the old lesguers would have the
largest crowd next Fast day. Irwin, be-
ing a member of the church, refused to
put up the money, but offered to stake q
suit Of clothes, which was refused By the
director. The meeting was lively while it
lasted.

THE ARENA OF SPORT.
rHR BASg BALL WAR STILL THE RULING
THEME.
Have all the Dsssrtsrs Gone ?-Ths Playing Strength
Of the Brotherhood - The Sullivan and Jack
son Pght-A New Lightweight
Wonder-Gsneral Sports.

The limit of weak-kneed players in the
Brotherhood has about been reached.
Every man has been approached by the
League, and tempted. If many more had
been likely to break away from their
pledges, they would have done it before
this. In spite of the objections that have
occurred, and some of them doubtless very
important, the new League has to-day
the cream of the base ball talent, and
when the playing season opens the base
ball public will be quick to appreciate It,
One man can not make base ball club.
Clsrkson will be weak for Boston without
the superb team behind him, which be has
hitherto played with. Beckley and Miller
will not greatly help team in Pittsburg,
when there are half dozen other weak
players on it. Anson's colts will be
weaker than ever next year; and 80 on
through the list of clubs. The injury to
the old league can rot be repaired by sign
ing few contract jumpers and filing II
the gaps with inferior material.
~
No evidence of the stability of the Play
erys' Leagues ia more important than the
change of public sentiment towards 1t.
When the revolt was first announced many
were inclined to look on the move with
suspicion. The fear was generally ex-
pressed that the result would be the ruin
of base ball The columns of the public
press were filled with denunciations OF the
seceders. To-day all this is changed.
Confidence in the honesty and good inten-
tions of the promoters of the new League
has grown on every hand. II has done its
work in business like way. It has made
good fight, and now its success seems as
sured.
~
There has been decided lull in pugilis-
tic circles during the week. 1t is about
settled that Sullivan and Jackson will
fight before the California Athletic club,
but how soon the battle will come off is
impossible to say. The suggestion is made
that in the meanwhile Jackson and Sls7in,
who have both defeated Smith, meet and
settle the question Of superiority between
them. Such battle would be little less
famous, than one between Jackson and
Sullivan bimeelf.
~
The defeat of Eugene Hornbacher shows
that new lightweight wonder is In the
arena. 1t is young Dixon. the Boston col
ored boy. His victory over Hornhacher
was ridiculously easy. A match between
him and Cal Mccarthy will probably be
brought about soon.
~
1t is now reported that Jake Kilrain Is
going to take up his residence in New Or
leans. It matters little where Jake resides
now, as he is certainly out of any go"
for championship honors.
~
Billy Madden is going to train Jack Nc
Aulifte for his fight with Jimmy Carroll in
California. Billy is as good conditioner
and Judge Of men as there is in the coun-
try. He is also about as smooth in clever
ring tactics as they make them.

WHAT Is A KISS?
A Strange Thrilling Mystery That Young
Men and Msidens May Study with
Delight.

Strange Thrilling Mystery That Young
Men and Maidens May Study With
Delight.
Frank Leslie in The Hoosier.
An, who can tell? Surely if anything
in the the world "goes without saying" it
is kiss, aud the more one says the farther
one seems removed from the true compre-
hersion Of the idea.
Viewed in the calm light Of reason,
kiss is rather an absurd, rather disa-
greeable, certainly very extraordinary
proceeding. Two people set their mouths
against each other, contract and press lips
together, and emit sound varying from
the explosion of toy pistol to faint sibi-
lation or q gentle conclusion.
Why, now, should any one have hit
upon this strange performance as an ex-
preston of affection? Was it an unborn
instinct of humanity, like eating or look
ing at ones reflection in mirrored pools. ="
Did Adam Kiss Eve, and did she under
stand what he was attempting, or Gid she
fancy he was about to eat her?
A very STANCE, sdscidedly unoooth pro-
ceeding, and yet how very natural ana
how very common!
What divers manners Of kiss have been
Invented since that Adam and Eve inau-
gurstion. Theirs would be the kiss of
to der and assured copjugal devotion;
we'll, that is very nice and very satisfying
to the feeling, bat then there is the timid
experimental kiss of the newly declared
lover and the faint responsive kiss OF the
gentle beloved, and there is the mad burn
ing kiss of passion. and the quivering kiss
of separation when loving hearts are rent
ssunder, and there ia the cold kiss of de-
spair, pressed by bIoodless lips upon an
icy broW-the kiss of death that all OF us
have at some time felt through our hearts
core.
Then there is the tender and emoti0Dless
kiss of friendship aud loving kinship, and
the light touch of ceremony, as in French
fashion, we family brush the cheeks of our
dear 500 acquaintances, and there is the
enforced kiss of relationship that i5 not
loving, or of the husband and wife WHO
still keep up the form from which the life
has fed, aad there is the kiss of loving
reverence for the hand of the monarch, or
the priest, or the holy relic or
the tomb, and there are grades and ehades
of all these almost innrmerable, and yet
after all there ia but one kiss worth
the talking about, and that is the kiss Of
love, pure and simple and mutual; the
kiss which clings and trsmbles and throbs
with delight, and yet is too near heaven
to know the stain of earth; the kiss in
which the soul swoons ana yet resembles
God; the kiss that one would die in giving
and can give to only one; the kiss that
once freely given binds two souls forever in
one-no matter what chances and
changes" time may bring
The indescribable and yet universal de-
light of love is as sweet to-day as it ever
was in Eden.
