pleased men over the result of the league

fidence," said he to a Sun reporter, ~ tell
you the Cincinnati and Brooklyn people de-
serve all the praise that can DO bestowed for
coming into the league. Why, just think Of
1t! Last November we had nothing but an
organization, and yet these two clubs, solidly
organized, knocked at the door OF the league
for admission. There's confidence for you. :"

LOOK OUT FOR FLAMBEAu
A Californian That Can Run Like

SAN FRANCISCO. CAL, March 90
Notwithstanding offers ranging from
$4,000 to $1,000 for the running qualities
this season of Fiambeau, Senator Stan
ford's crack three-year-old Wildidle
colt, he goes East to the stable of SEN
ator George Hearst shortly.to be trained
by Mat Allen. Flambeau has filled out
wonderfully, stands full sixteen hands
high, and Californ!ans will be sur
prised If anything of his age
beats him under the wire any
distance from one to two miles.
Gorge, in the Hearst string, also belongs
to Senator Stanford. The Palo Alto

WITH BATSssS1 BALLS
The st. Paul Team Of 1890 as
It Will Open the New
Season.
Sketches Of Manager Thomp-
son and His Dozen Young
Players.
The Management Has Faith
in the Outcome Of the
Contest,
But the Public Is Inclined to
Question the Teams
ProWeSS.

The best that can be said of the st.
Paul team of 1890 is that it is an expert
ment. The management looks Oh it
with hope, but it must be admitted that
the public regards 1t as the weakest ag-
gregation of ball players that has repre-
sented the city in several years. What
the club will amount to. however, is
wholly question of the future. The
management may be able to surprise
the cranks by getting a great game OF
ball out of its players. The untried men
are numerous, but they all come to
the Minnesota capital highly rec
commended, and some of them are
scheduled to enter the class phenomena.
Will they do it? There's the rub. A
year ago, when the "stonewall'' infield
--Wcrrick, Pickett and Reilly-was an
nouuced, the public was thoroughly con-
fdent of its prowess and stood ready to
applaud its clock like precision of move
ment. This years infield--Cantillon
Burks and Phillips-is of widely diff
ferent stamp. Itmay develop into some
thing wonderful; it may prove fiat
failure. Only time can solve the prob
lem. In the meantime. the GLOBE
wishes the management good fortune
with its green timber. Short sketches
of Manager Thompson and his players
are given below.

and Omaha. In 1886 the siX-club North

Minneapolis. Duluth, Eau Claire, Osh-

Mr.. Thompson managed the St. Paul
team for Mr.. Barnes for month, leav-
ing it to 20 into other business. In 1887
Mr.. Thompson purchased an interest in
the team and became president of the
association. The next year Aaron Pou-
peny purchased third interest,
and in August, 1889, NJ. j. Roche
purchased Mr.. Barnes interest. Mr..
Thompson then became manager, Mr..
Poupeny president and Mr.. Roche secre-
tary. the positions which they now hold.
Mr.. Thompson is quiet but firm man
ager, who watches his players carefully,
work. keep good hours and give saloons
the cold shoulder. Speaking of his
team Mr. Thompson said: 81 have not
been doing much talking, but am very
confident in the ability of my men to
fill the bill. Minneapolis and Sioux
City can take the pennant on paper If
they like, but the st. Paul team will be
in the fight right from the start. have
in Broughton and Farmer the two very
best backstops in the Western associa-
ton, and Meekin and Mains are right in
the front rank of pitchers. In the
field, it is, of course, hard to say pre-
ciseiy what the men will do. Burks L
consider quite as good short stop as
Pickett. He doesn't hit the ball quite
as hard. but he hits it safely, and is a
clean fielder. Phillips en- third will
prove a success, and Cantillon is highly
recommended. DAILY will cover left
field in good shape, and Glasscock will
at first go to right field. Abbey will be
given a trial in the outfieid. All in all,
the team is good one, and as soon as /
can get the men playing together l will
keep them all guessing"
The team will be captained by ''old
reliable" Billy Halves, who will take
care of first base. Halves has been an
