l had long talk with Hon. John P.
Green, candidate for state senator in
Ohio, the other day, and quizzed him
regarding his chances for election.
Mr.. Green feels sanguine of election,
and he has right TO feel so, for he is
especially popular with the toiling
classes, as it remains for him to reap
the honor and benefit of introducing
the bill setting apart one day in the
year as labor day. Mr.. Green is look
ing extremely well, and is one of those
modest men who looks upon all success
that he attains as success attained by
the race, and not by him individually.
If we had such men as John p. Green
filling representative offices in Wash
ingtOn there would be no cause for all
this dissatisfaction that is al present
current with our crop of supposed
leaders, who stick close 10 the throne
at Washington and are afraid TO say
their life is their own.

BASEBALL NOTES.

The Louisville correspondent of the Sporting
NeTs has this to say of "Strike-'em-out Fitz," of
last years Seattle team: Fitzgerald arrived
Saturday. He is rather small in size, and looks
like a cowboy. He wears felt hat, spring bot
tom pants, and the timid man would think he
had pistol in his boots"
The San Francisco papers are printing "rot''
about Jack Huston's repenting of having left
Sacramento and wanting to return. Huston
couldn't go back if he wanted to. He has been
sent to this league by the board of control and
must stay here until released by the Spokane
club.
In a game at Kansas City recently Billy
0'Brien, of Denver, was presented with a silver
pitcher and two goblets by members of the fire
department. Billy works in the fire department
during the winter months The present was a
very costly and a very handsome one.
The Jersey City correspondent of the Sporting
Tines writes: "Keenan, one of the Cable Ath-
letic club. was the pitcher i'll the great twenty
two-inning game at Tacoma, Wash The club
members doing nothing but talking about
that great game and keenan,"
Catcher Nogle, of Chicago, recently jumped
the team without word of warning. In few
days he turned up with a wife, whom he had
married in Milwaukee against the will of her
parents.
The Spokanes are badly in need of new uni
forms. Maybe Barnes thinks the old clothes of
last years champions win win the pennant At
any rate his men are going about tattered and

splendid style. He has captured several high

TACOMA SPORTING GOSSIP.
Averages Show That Tacoma Outbats
Spokane and Portland.

TACOMA, June 14.-[special. lin the two last
series played by the Tacoma league baseball
team on the home grounds, some averages were
made that are in no way indicated by the official
scores as published in the Observation-Disclosures,
unless taken collectively, aud then it appears
that the tail-enders outbatted both Spokane and
Portland, and broke about even with Spokane
on fielding. Besides, Portland did not outclass
Tacoma in the latter feature. Why Maskrey's
sun spots did not win can be accounted for
in this way, viz: While leading in stolen
bases this does not show how many died on
bases were caught mapping or were thrown out
in effort to do impossible things in running
bases, or in other words, were thrown out while
trying to reach more bases than good judgment
and coaching would countenance In the Ia

Charlie Mitchell Said to Be Responsible
for the Trouble.

NEW YORK, June H-[Speeiall-It is well
known that Billy Madden, the well known
manager, was instrumental in bringing
Slavin to this country, and that Mitch
ell and his father-in-law consulted them
selves, and Madden arranged to match
slavin and mapped out the extensive sparring
tour for the big Australian. The tour was
abandoned when the match with Kilrain was
made. but there was not until today a sure in
timation that Madden's relations as manager
of Slavin were affected thereby. Then the
fact was developed that Slavin had
been induced to throw overheard Madden,
who had done so much to secure the Austria
lian's favorable introduction to America. 1t is
openly charged in pugilistic circles that Mitchell
is directly responsible for this state of affairs,
and has schemed to Gust Madden and get con-
troll of Slavin for his own benefit.
Maddens friends are indignant over what they
term MitchelIs underhanded work and threaten
to make it interesting for the Englishman be-
fore he returns to England. The rup-
ture of relations between Madden and
slavin occurred today at Mrs. OBrien's, at
Coney Island, where Slavin is training for his
mill with Kilrain. Mitchell announced that he
would second Slavin in the coming fight with
Kirain.

Pure Breeds.

There are now many good farmers who
believe in having about them none other
than pure bred stock. The idea that such
animals require better feed and shelter
than common or half-bred stock amounts
to nothing as an argument in favor of the
latter. Good feed and shelter pay well in
either case, but always best when given &c,
pure bred stock of any kind. 1t can
hardly be said that this experience or be-
lief has yet become general among our
swine farmers, and perhaps it is not best
TO insist very strongly in every locality ON
its adoption and practice.
Examples are the best thing in matters
of this kind, and good work is silently and
surely being done by the example of the
most successful of the swine breeders and
farmers in every part of the country. and
they deserve all the success thew get.
Whenever farmer finds that he cannot
ai1ord to tend large crop with single
horse implement, then he will also find
that he cannot keep any other than the
best bred stock within his ability to buy,
whether sheep, pigs, cattle or horses.
Everything to its special use, and the best
of its kind. is fast becoming the order of
the day. Don't make hash of your bed
ding is an old saying that is Just as APP
plicable to the hogs as to anything else.
Good results are sometimes obtained in
swine breeding in the first cross, made by
pure bred animals of two distinct breeds.
While this is true of the first cross. the
identity of the blood or breed becomes
lost in the next cross, and they quickly
loose the characteristics of the stock and
degenerate rapidly.
The influence of fresh blood from either
of the original breeds, or from some other
pure bred animal, does not appear to have
a good effect in stock thus bred. Thus
what is gained in the first cross is lost in
the subsequent ones. The only excellence
is the first cross, but the additional ex-
pense of keeping two breeds (distinctl so
as TO have the benefit of that first cross is
not compensated for in the excellence of
the stock Conditions and circumstances
have given England the best swine. and
the breeders there have perfected several
breeds. each of which distinct from all
other breeds, can give as large returns,
and with more certainty than can be made
with any cross breeds of swine. In
America many of these perfect breeds are
now used extensively, and can be obtained
easily. They have also been supplemented
by pure bred American swine, which with
the good points of their English progeri-
tors have much added that make them
specially adapted to our soil and climate
Life is altogether too short. even when the
breeding of swine is concerned. 10 waste
time in aimless crossing together of diff
ferent breeds, or in using an animal of one
breed one wear and another the next.
Sometimes. indeed, very often, We see good
stock IN the first cross between two dis
tinct breeds. and il Is admirable TO proceed
no further than this: but If such offspring
is to be bred from, the male animal must
never be restarted, and the female must
only be re-crossed with one OF the two pure
breeds used in her production.

will not be on account of his condition. He is
very confident OF winning, and says that unless
Slavin is a much better man than he has ever

Muldoon said: SIN regard to the coming battle,
