Considerable interest is being manifested In
the forthcoming engagement in this city OF the
William J. Gilmore Opera Company, which oc-
ours at the opera-house, Wednesday and Thurs
day evenings next, with the new romantic opera,
1.-THE Sea King" which will receive its first pre-
sentation in this city. With record of fifty per-
formances in New York and similar number
in Philadelphia; also brilliant engagements in
Boston. Chicago and Cincinnati, the opera
certainly has the merit OF claiming the attention
oil lovers Of light opera. The music is considered
bright and of q catchy character. while the
hbrettO is claimed to be interesting humorous
and original. The action and the scene of the
work being laid in Spain in late centuries gives
TO the designer and scenic artist rare opportuni-
ties for the display of dresses and scenery which
should prove q novelty to the present day pro-
auctions. The cast will reacquaint with a
number of comic opera fayorites, most OF whom
have many warm admirers in this city, the bet
ter known being Mark Smith, r. E. Graham.

THE PLAYERS COMPARED.
Records Of Men Chosen for tho -Four
Teams,


The near approach OF the playing season of
1891 has started the baseball s'fans" to co;apar-
ing the makcups OF the different teams aud at
tempting to figure out which should be the PEN
nanf.winncr.
Manager Gienaivin, of Portland, is the first to
complete his team, he having signed ali the men
who will begin the season under him. with the
exception Of one more pitcher. In his selection
he has shown u decided preference for Tri-state
League players, having, including himself,
taken no less than seven men from that organ
ization and most of them come from the Wheel
ing club, which he managed during the first
part of last season II records go for anything
he has collected band of sluggers, rs nearly
all OF them stand we'll up in the batting aver
ages. Out OF the iirst nine batters OF The Tri-
state League. GIenalyin has secured five for
Portland.
For Tacoma Maskrey has gathered team
that looks like winner With March, Tanning
and Crowell, it ought to be especially strong ia
the box. The signing of Joe Ardner for second
base will also greatly strengthen the infield,
while in Routcliffe and Berger, the two new
outfielders, they have two very fast men.
Maskrey will probably not play himself. but
will have full charge OF the team both on and
spokane Falls ia slower than all the other
clubs in signing players, which fact is largely
due to the dispute with the California clubs
rion team. Up to date they have signed six
players, but the officials OF the club claim they
win get together nine that will again Carry OF
The only problematical point about the Seattle
club Is in her batteries With another good
catcher to relieve Snyder and two more strong
pitchers to take their turn in the box with
Camp the local team will undoubtedly be
strong factor in the pennant race.
As far as known the makeup of the teams, in
GLIDING men already signed and others who are
practically secured, is as follows:
Seattle = Snyder. catcher: Camp, pitcher;
klrsman first base; thinner, second base; IT.

field; Hernon. right heid: battery player.

Tacoma-Cody and Rcidy, catchers: March,

The advent OF spring has caused the awaken

with the exception OF its batteries the team
that will represent Seattle when the gong sounds
for the opening game OF the season Of ISL. has
been decided upon. During the past week the
infieid was completed, with the exception OF
INT base, by the signing OF Joseph W. shea for
short field. Shea comes from San Franc1sco,
where he has played shortstop for the past two
seasons. He il a strong batter, splendid base
runner, and il one of the few players who are
successful It bunting the ball Shea Is not a
record player, but while he has never stood At
the top OF the feeders, he il q hard worker, who
covers lots of ground and goes after everything
in sight His especial value lies, however. in his
ability as run-getter- Last season he ranked
second IN the California League both in base
running and in run-gettsng. He stole ninety
seven bases and scored Ia runs. In batting he
ranked twelfth with an average OF .26S-
The probabilities are that KIusman, the hard
hitting first baseman OF last seasons Mansfeids,
will cover the initial bag for the local team.
When last heard from Klusman had submitted
terms that were Satisfactory both to himself and
the Seattle club directors, and II IS not I'm prob
closed with him In addition TO his ability to
hit the ball, Klusman Is an experienced player
and would make an able assistant captain. he

Not the slightest anxiety is manifested any
where about the manner N Which the Ig. anq
BY Tommy Heron and Captain Powell. the
degree OF care to be taken OF the middle terri
tory will depend upon the class OF battery play
ars secured. it is the intention 70 have one of
the pitchers catchcrs play that field when he Is
not wanted in the box or behind the bat
With all the other positions well filed the sue
cess OF the team seems TO depend upon the bat
teries. In Wincamp and Snyder, Seattle has a
strong pair, but they cannot be expected to do
AL the work. snyder will probably 90 the bulk
lierc him when necessary, as well as one able to
play good outfeld Manager Powell had hopes
OF securing catcher Harry Decker, with Pits
burg last season, but 1t is reported that he has
signed with New Haven.
Two other pitchers are also wanted. and 1t Is
expected that one of them must 90 work In the
oufficld.
Powell has the option on three first-class men,
and with his excellent judgment should be able
TO select men who will do good WORK. Manager
Powell has altered his original intention Of CON-
ing to Seattle this month, and will probably not
reach here until about April ), as ne is better
able to sign players in the East than here. When
he does arrive the entire team will come with
him, or about the same time. They will be put
20 work ut once, which plan will undoubtedly
secure better discipline than ii they came stray
