A TALK WITH MARCH.
The Popular Twirler Tells About Some
of the Bows.

Frank March, the fine young pitcher Of
the Tacomas. spent yesterday with friends
In Seattle The kids" cheeks are as
rudy as schools girls, and he appears
to be in splendid condition. One of the
attractions which brought the handsome
young pitcher over from his home is a GER
tain young lady of this city. The second
a object of the visit was to arrange for
an exhibition game between the Tacoma
and Seattle clubs, to be made up of last
years players who have wintered here,
ana such new men as shall have arrived.
The game is TO be played as soon as the
Weather will permit.
Frank spent the winter at his home in
minneapolis, and kept in condition by ex-
eFclsing at the Twin City Athletic Club, of
which he is a member But few DAYS
since he returned TO Tacoma. where he is
now IN charge of the Tacoma News Com
pans's stand. and will continue In that
position until the opening of the season.
IN chatting with a PosT-INTEIIIsEycER

BILLY MCCARTHY WHIPPED HALL.
Jack Dempsey's Last Victim Too Much
for the Alleged Champion.

SAN Francisco, Feb. l5.-fSpecial. THE
Sydney Referee gives the following account
of the set-to between Billy Mccarthy and
Jim Hall:
The meeting of two crack middle weights at
Apollo hail on Monday night was characteristic,
as far as the supporters OF pugilism are con-
cerned. Billy Mccarthy, who held the champion
ship up to his departure, threw down the
gauntlet to Jim Hail. who had already
wiped out ell who had the temerfty
too meet him in Melbourne Hall entered the
ring first, attended by Jack Barnett Mccarthy
was close up, with Jack Hall as esquire Mr..
virgoe was chosen as referee. The judges were
Curran for Hall and Goddard for Mccarthy.
Hall, being the best known here, has the great
est amount of sympathizers, but the man who
fought Dempsey was not without his quota of
admirers
The contest needs little description. Nc.
earthly, who is fully six inches shorter than his
opponent, forced the fight from the start. and
on several occasions surprised Hall by his light
ning.iike attacks. He fought for the body,
showing his usual good judgement in not going
for the head, that was too high for him. Hall
tried all the mane,wers he had used with
other antagonists, but without avail. In
the seventh round Mac stood on
his toes, tented and swung his
right, a Ia Laflanche, just grazing the long fell
lows chin. Hall was quick in return, dashing
his right on Macs jaw, but without force ii
Hall was knocker-out he should there and
then have finished the fight. Mac went in. and
in the last round made so many impressions on
Halls dinner receptacle that the latter appeared
nonplussed when corners were called Tor the last
time.
The judges disagreed. Curran said that Nc
Carfhy had done the forcing, but he would give
the decision in favor of Hall Goddard the
other judge, at once declared in favor of Nc
earthly, and the referee used his perogative and
ner, a decision which, despite Halls admirers
was received with well-merited applause Mae
seeing this, asked me to state that If Hall STAYS
in Sidney be will fight him to a finish for any

what Of the Cricket club

A lover of the game of cricket sends the
following communication to the Posr-IN-
rELLTGENcER.
May take the liberty Of inqniring through
your paper If the "Seattle Cricketers are ''sfill
In the ring?" 1t seems to me that at 'he close
OF last season committee was appointed TO
secure good grounds and report 20 the sccIe-
tary, who would convene q meeting for the
purpose Of securing the same. Has this been
done? II It has my friends or myself have not
heard anything of it. 1t is now high time to get
in and do something about this matter
If we are to have anything OF u
club this season The ball ground Is
well enough In a way, but It l. not turf was
told the other day that gentleman had offered
free nice piece OF ground out near the race
track somewhere fso, Is not this the sort OF offer
we want9 / would like to hear that these gen.
tlemen are trying to secure this ground, so that
we can start In In good shape ut the end OF next
month on our own ground, in order that by
June we can show the people Of Seattle that .
good game OF cricket can be played right here,
as well as In England or Australia.
A MEMBER.
Can some member of the "cricketers"
furnish dennite information in regard to
the matters inquired after?

increased Capital TO Put the Gamo ON
Good FOOTING

Good Footing.
The reorganization Of the Seattle Base
Dali club with an increased capital stock
seems to have been a wise step. OF the
$2o,oOO stock, SIS, 600 has been put upon the
market, being divided into 800 shares at
700 each. There is quite an active inquiry
Tor 1t among business men having fond
ness for the game, not only from a desire
20 put baseball on firm footing, but be-
cause 1t gives promise of being paying
Investment.
Last season there was a similar demand
IN the face of serious obstacles necessary
TO the getting under way Of the first organ
ization of its kind in Seattle
The stock was then limited to $4,000.
and this was soon taken up. Now with
increased advantages and lessened ex-
penses business interest in the club is
much more to be sought after. The liberal
policy Of the old directors, men we'll able
to carry the full amount without the least
embarrassment, in placing the greater part
OF the stock on sale, is sure to gain the
club wide support. The result will in
evitably be good dividend at the end of

TT NAY BE W4R.

The sensation of the day at the
National Capitol is the action of
Great Britain in appealing to the
Supreme Court of the United States
for an injunction to restrain Sec
rotary Of State BLAINE from fur
ther proceedings in the Behring
Sea trouble, which is likely to be a
serious matter yet. 1t is limited
that the Secretary of State will cut
off further negotiations with Great
Britain, tender the British Minis
ter his passport home, and prepare
for war, if necessary. There are
also hints that HARRISON will not
yield to BLAINE in the matter, and
that this will be BLAINE's excuse
for Withdrawing from the Cabinet,
and appealing to the country to
make him President in 1892. OF
course the intentions of BLAINE in
the Behring Sea controversy has
been to make all the political cap
ital possible out Of it, but the pre-
vaiEing opinion is he has been i'm
prudent in the attempt to advance
his own interests, and everybody
in Washington are expecting a big
event in the near future.

OUR PUBLIC HIGHWAYS.

The spread of the agitation for
highway improvements in Tennes-
see is enormous, and is an absorb
ing question among our progressive
citizens to-day. 1t is worthy of
note that our people are almost
unanimous in the demand for bet
ter public highways, and every act
by the general assembly in this
matter will be watched by the pub
lie with interest.
The present law permits tax-pay-
ers to work out their own taxes, and
the work done by the taxpayer, as
a rule, is performed without knowl-
edge or care, and, after years of
experimenting, we get no nearer
a solution of the public road ques-
ton, which demonstrates the fact
that the desired results can never
be realized under any law enacted
by the State heretofore looking to
the betterment of our public high
ways.
After carefully looking over the
situation, we suggest remedy for
this vexed question, namely, that
the convicts should be set at work
building and repairing the public
roads Of the State. This would
solve the convict labor problem.
A great many grievances have been
presented by the different trades
protesting against the work of con-
vict labor which comes in contact
with and is ruinous to honest Ia
Dor. We doubt if anything better
could be suggested on the subject,
The roads need improving, need
it grievously, and there is unlimit-
ed work of that sort to be done.
There is in this no competition
with any trade, and the represen.
tatives Of the people in framing
such a law would meet with little
or no opposition among those con-
stituents who cry out most loudly
against any improvement Of oul
highways by taxation. Surprising
as it undoubtedly is, the opposition
to any law taxing them for such ar
object is most emphatic from the
very class which would most be
benefited. The farmers, who suf
fer more than any one else from
the effect of bad roads, cry ou
most loudly against any improve
J ment. But this opposition will b.
removed when convict labor is en-
} ployed on the public highways.
Good roads cheaper the cost O.
production and marketing, enhanc,
} the value of property, and are ,
great public benefit. A bad roat
of mile is practically as long as
! good road Of five miles, and mucl
less inviting.
In order that the labor of The
convicts might be used to the bes
| advantage and the results prove
beneficial and satisfactory, mel
should be appointed as supervisor
who have acquired a knowledge O
road construction through theii

WHEN will the Republican lead

opposition to the revolution Of po-

spirit, and there is no telling where

vice to steal senatorships and gov
ernorships for men whom the peo-
pie, by their ballots, have rejected.
