most the time, precluded much base
bali practice AID the torn up condi-
ton of the streets di not permit Of
the cyclers perambulating a great
deal except iu the suburbs. The
interest, however in both of these
fine sports is on the increase. There
is some talk of the reorganiza'i ion of
the old Sedalis ball club and it will
probably materialize into something
more, very soon. There are a num-
Der of the former players in the city
and lots of good material lying around
too. The "Katy" club is in cor
respondence wi h the Little Mich
ops," of st. Louis and it is more than
probable that this fine organic alton
will cross bats IN the home grounds
with the "office" boys on July 4th.
No dates have yet been arranged
with either JEFF. City or Lexing-
ton, but it is almost an assured fact
that the clubs from both these cities
will visit Seda'ia soon. The "B;ues'
are taking the advantage of al GO d
wea her, and are get ing in shape for
an early "g1" with the "Katy's''.
The Cycle boys are hol ing regular
weekly meetings and their numbers
are constantly increasing. There are
over twenty names on the roll at
present WI b several others contem-
pa ing joining. When the Ohio
street paving work is finished, it will
make an excellent boulevard
for wheeling, and will doubtless
be alive every pleasant evening
with wheelers. To-Day, should the
weather hold good, the initial run of
the season VII be tIken, with La
monte as the objective point. There
will be about ten VIII els in the dele
CATION and some so-e-limbid individ-
uals msy be looked for on the return.
Very little practice has been had and
q % mile run is considerable under
taking.
Arrangements are being gotten
fairly under way for the state fair
this fill and all the directors are in
favor of making the exhibition the
finest and most attractive ever held in
Central Missouri. Specially good
purses will be hung up for competition
on the race track and it is assured
that some of the crack flyers of the
country will be seen here at the meet
ing.
The professional base ball fight
may now be said t. be under full
sway. Both the league bodies and
American ass ,ciatiOa claim to be per-
fectly satisfied with the patronage
they are receiving and are giving out
that this will be the greatest season
yet experienced in the base bali
world. 1t is a little early yet for
such expressions, as the games are to
some extent novelty after the long
period, without exhibitions. the ouI-
look is that there are too many at
fractions, fur all to come out with
balance on the profit side Of the ledger
in tie fall and the best judges, out
side of the ring, are of the opinion
tina. there will be big loss some.
where.
In the national league struggle,
Boston and Philadelphia, lead
with Mr.. Days expensive Giants
at the tail end of the octette.
With the Brotherhood, Boston
stands first on the list, and Buffalo
and Chicago tied for second pace.
Cleveland holds up the rear and Buck
Ewing's people are crowcipg them for
thst honor.
Louisville leads the American asso-
citation. with the Athletics close Sec
ond and Tole o at the bottom. The
Brooklyn team is making a very poor
showing. Columbus is making a rep
utatjon as an aggregation of hoodlums
and are heartily denounced where
they have been playing.
Pugilistic matters have been pretty
quiet of late and there are no big
matches on the tapis. The affair
between John L. and Peter
jackson seems to be a foregone
conclusion and the date has been
practically settled for August, bef're
the California club.
Jake Kilrain is very anxious for
another go with Jim Corbett, but the
latter doesn't seem anxious to accom-
modate him. Jake has about served
out his two months Mississippi SEN
tence, and will soon be heard of in
New York and then probably a match
may be MADE.

the Cycle club.
