As the spring season advances public
interest in outdoor sports increases. and
public attention turns to those health-giv-
ing exercises that make men manly, vigor-
Gus and robust. Of all the sports in this
country baseball leads in popularity, and
as an exercise it comes nearer to perfec-
ton than any other. Not only does it i'm
prove, strengthen and develop the various
muscles of the body but it requires suffi-
cient science and study to make it an excel
lent exercise for the mind, and then too
the pleasure and enjoyment that every
player derives from the game adds ma
terially to it's beneficial effects upon his
constitution.
With baseball as the national game.
played and enjoyed by four-fifths of the
boys of the land, the health, vigor and
manliness of Americans is not to be won.
dered at, and the improvement of the race
from physical standpoint has rapidly IN
creased since the sport acquired its pres
ent popularity.
No other sport has such attractions for
the masses of the people, and no other
draws men ofevery class and every calling
together in such close sympathy and COM
munion. The enthusiasm it awakens
levels barriers and dispels caste, and the
exultant cheer of the laboring man min
giles with that Of the millionaire. Prince
and pauper alike are stirred by the enthu-
siasm the game inspires. 1t furnishes in.

else without an Objectionable feature and
none who realize and appreciate its worth
can deny the wisdom that has decreed
baseball the national game of America.

SCHEDULE OF GAMES.
Tho season VIII Probably Open Hero
ON April Id.

Emo season Will Probably Open Here
ON April 10.
One of the most weighty matters now
occupying the attention of the officials Of
the Pacific Northwest League is the MAX
ing out of aschedule of games. The work
is left to schedule committee with one
member from each city. w. E. Rockwell
represents Spokane Falls; C. B. Zabriskie,
Tacoma; H. I. Hudson, Portland, and w.
A. Hardy, Seattle.
In the arrangement of games there are
numerous conditions to be considered and
hindrances to be guarded against. Seattle
and Portland have been promised the
opening games and the Fourth of July,
while Tacoma and Spokane Falls must
have Decoration day. Another serious OBJ
stacle is the location of Spokane Falls, and
too many long jumps back and forth
across the mountains must be avoided.
Secretary Rockwell has prepared a sched-
ule which seems to meet all of these re-
quirements. Under it the season is to be-
gin Wednesday, April Is, with games fol-
lowing on April 16, Is and 10, and will end
October Is.
President Hardy, on behalf of Seattle.
has accepted this schedule, and the only
objection yet advanced has come from
Portland. They wish to change their
home dates in June to May, so that they
can be away from home in June for fear
their grounds will be flooded by high
water. 1t is not probable, however, that
the other clubs will consider favorably the
proposed change. since it will disarrange
the entire schedule, and an inundation at
Portland is only a possibility.
1t is safe to say that Seattle and Tacoma
will cross bats at the Madison street
grounds on the 18th of next month.

Curious Logging Locomotive.

The stragglers along the water front yes
terday had their curiosity worked up over
a peculiar-looking logging locomotive
which stood loaded on car on the Lake
Shore track. The piston rods worked up
and down and turned horizontal shafts, to
each OF which was attached pinion by
means of coupling, and those pinions
worked in cogs projecting out from the
sides of the wheels, forming bevel gear.
OF the hundred or more who stood around
looking at the strange piece of mechanism
strange to this country, at least-not one
appeared to understand the advantages it
possessed for the work for which it was
intended over the regular style locomotive.
It was evidently going to Mosher & Nc
Donald, who run logging camp down
the Sound, as it bore the firms name. 1t
came from the Lima, O., Machine Works.
Another car loaded with sawmill outfit
stood next to it.

AMONG THE AMATEURS.
Bellingham Bay Team Has Money and
Wants Talent.

The clubs of the Puget Sound Amateur
League are eagerly waiting for the season
to begin. All the preliminaries have been
arranged with the exception Of a schedule
of games, and this can easily be prepared.
The schedule committee are only waiting
until the schedule of the Pacific North
west League has been adopted so that
there will be no conflict.
The makeup of each of the teams is COM
plete with the exception of Bellingham
Bay, which is still in search of talent. In
financial matters, however, that club is in
advance Of all the others, and its
hackers are evidently in baseball
to stay. A stock company has
been organized with a capital stock of
5000 divided into 600 shares of So each
They will have fine grounds on the line of
the electric road between Whatcom and
Fairhaven, and have offered strong in
ducements to amateur players to go there
by promising them steady employment.
There is no truth in the report that
Eugene Curry will manage the team at
Beilingham Bay. He will be the ground
keeper at the Madison street park, and will
play with the Seattle Maroons.
The statements made in letter to the
Sporting Times from Galveston, Texas, that
Gates, Dean, Page and Drew. of that city,
had signed with Bellingham Bay, and that
the Puget Sound League has a salary limit
of $500, are also untrue. The men of
this league do not play for salaries.
and their only remuneration will be GER

Maroons have captured a good man in

st. Paul City League. The baseball fever
is widespread among the amateurs, and
several new clubs will soon be IN the field.

ing room of the observation-disclosures. and

The Topeka Brings Down News From
the Big Peninsula.
Steamship City of Topeka arrived from
Alaska yesterday morning, bringing in 200
barrels of fish oil and several tons of
guano. Her passenger list consisted of
twelve cabin and ten steerage passengers.
Second Officer Angerstein, in converse
ton with q PosT-INTELLrGENcEx reporter
yesterday. said that the weather in Alaska
now is very fine, and the trip down was
pleasant. He says that the fishermen ara
now going up in large numbers. He re-
ports the discovery of coal of a very fine
quality at killisnoo. The vein is said tn
be eight feet thick, but as no attempt has
vet been made to work it nothing definite
is known regarding it beyond the reports
furnished by those who discovered il.
They Immediately went to Sitka to file on
the land.
Mr.. Angerstein said that the Burrows

work in them has been stopped. Several
of the miners who had been at work there
came down on the steamer. He saws the

THE FIELD CLUB.
New Grounds Being Prepared-Active

The Seattle Field Club is actively en-
gagged in the improvement of its new

work is well advanced. BY the LIST of April
the surface will be we'll leveled and sown

HERE FOR JAY GOULD

COUNCIL ON THE UNION PACIFIC.
Construction Of tho Extension TO Dc.
pend Largely Upon Report Of
Three Men Now Here.

1t is likely that the questions connected
with the Union Pacific extension from
Portland to Seattle will be settled within
a short time. Today or tomorrow General
NJ. A. Dodge, one of Jay Gould's most
trusted advisers, will be in the city to look
over the ground. He is thoroughly con-
versant with the general condition Of the
Union Pacific road, for he was engaged in
planning the original line, and for years
he has been in the directory of the COM
pany.
He is preceded by Mr.. Morgan Jones, Of
Fort Worth, Tex, president of the Fort
Worth & Denver road, which is . part OF
the Union Pacific, Denver Il Gulf system.
This system, now that Gould has acquired
the Union Pacific, bears something OF the
same relation to the Union Pacific that
the Oregon Short Line does. General
Dodge is president of this system.
Mr.. Jones said last night that nothing
had as yet been determined, and nothing
would be determined until General Dodge
arrived and the whole situation had been
reviewed. Mr.. O. NJ. Turner, of Fort
Worth, well-known contractor, is also
with Mr.. Jones. As these men have come
here to reach some final conclusion as
as to whether the Union Pacific shall build
independently, or join with the Great
Northern, or not build at all, the likeli-
hood is that within a few days some result
of the conference will be announced.
In discussing the general railway situa-
ton Mr. Jones said last night: Your coun-
try up here seems to be suffering less from
hard times than ours. l suppose this is
partly due to the fact that immigration Is
coming into the Northwest more than into
our vicinity. Each man who comes brings
something to help keep things going.
1.-The Northern Pacific people tell me
that the immigration is already very large,
and promises to be greater than ever be-
FORE
Railroad enterprises in Texas and in
others of the great agricultural states have
been checked somewhat of late by the
granger legislation of the Farmers
Alliance party, or by fear of
such legislation. You see the
capitalist hesitates to put his money in
railroad if he thinks laws will be passed
restricting the operation of the road and
making the earning of dividends impos-
sible. The fear that such laws may be en-
acted is often quite as effective as their
actual enactment. In Texas very little
railroad construction has been undertaken
within the last year.
"But the people are beginning to get
reused to this state of affairs, and in Iowa,
where very restrictive laws had been en-
acted, there has been tendency to ease
up and repeal some of the harsher meas
ures.
I'VE are now expecting better times
down onr way, because there is every indi-
cation that the grain crop will be large and
the railroad will thus be given an abund-
ance of work in handling freight"

The controversy between the Pacific
Northwest League and the California
League over reserved players illegally
signed by clubs of the latter organization,
seems no nearer an end than hitherto.
The mission of peace of President Bush
nell to San Francisco is evidently pro-
ductive of no good results. He has had q

Notwithstanding the fact that the San
Francisco press have recognized the fall

Them.
The past week has brought about but
little change in the proposed makeup of
the teams of the Pacific Northwest
League, except in the case of Spokane
Falls, who has added three pitchers and
ond-baseman to her list. Of these
Pitcher Varney Anderson ought to add
materially to the strength of the team, If
his arm is all right. During the first part
Of last season he managed Burlington, of
the Central Interstate League. and ranked
~ the best pitcher in that organization
until his arm gave out, compelling him to
take rest. Anderson has played in some
very strong teams, including Indianapolis.
Tommy Forster, who has been signed for
second base, has seen several years Of ex-
perience and is hard worker. He would
make good field captain. Pitchers Con-
over and Lawson have also good records
in minor league company.
Portland has secured Wadsworth. who
did good work last season for the Cleve-
land League club, and he should prove
star in this league.
Tacoma has made no further changes,
but is figuring on new first baseman, in
which event Fuller will go behind the bat.
The club is making a strong fight for Dick
Van zandt. and he may play third base.
Seattle has one man less than she was
credited with week ago, owing to the
failure to secure Pitcher Sullivan.
The makeup of the teams now looks
Ike this:
Spokane Falls-Twineham, catcher: Ander-
son, Lawson and Conover, pitchers; Smith, first
