Tacoma will have a baseball team in the
Pacific Northwest League this season. Suf-
ficient money has been subscribed to start,
and those interested are confident that
enough more can be raised 10 maintain the
club. In addition to having enough raised
to secure hUsi-class men the services of W.
y. RuSher have been secured as Secretary
aud Treasurer. He will do the active work
for the club and his knowledge of the capa-
biities of athletes will go a long way 10 get
a winning team together A salary of 500
n month will in measure compensate Mr..
Rusher.
Billy Work was unable to secure his re-
lease from the Pacific Northwest League,
aud will start for Tacoma tonight to take
the management Of that club. Tanning also
wanted 10 remain in California, but has sue
cumbed TO the inevitable. and will leave for
Tacoma some time next week. 1t is said
that Danny Sweeney is also negotiating
with the Northwest people and will in all
probability play center-f field for the Tacoma
team this season.
Spokane has raised $4,000, $4,000 of which
has already been paid in, for baseball this
season. Ollie Beard, the famous shoItstop
of the Cincinnati National League for the
past four years. will succeed Barnes as
manager Of the SpOkanes, He has already
signed a number Of crack Eastern players
and paid them advance money.
Conflicting news comes from the baseball
infested districts round about Walla Walla.
One story is that Fred Osborn, who played
eenter-frld for Portland part of last sea
son. has been appointed manager Of the
Walla Walla club, and has signed Betz for
third base. and will probably sign Tully for
catcher. There is another rumOr to the
effect that Wala Walla has failed to organ
ize a team, consequently Salem will have
to drop out unless sixth team can be
found. Notwithstanding all this Pap
Lytle, manager Of the Salem club, has gone
East TO sign team.
joe CantlIlou, who was dropped from
the Oakland team, has had an offer to man
age and play second base in a Wisconsin
State League club this year.

BASEBALL SEASON.
Managers Busy Signing Players
Assigned Them.
New Faces Will Appear and 1t Is Predicted
That There VIII Be New Era in
the Sport.
EIccIal to THE MORNING GAEL

NEW YORK, Feb. 81, 1S92.-"The base
ball world is beginning to roll itself into Its
usual spring prominence, and while mana
gers are busy signing the players assigned
to them, the public is awaiting patiently the
beginning of what is predicted will be new
era in the sport. The accompanying state
ments from managers show most sanguine
feeling on their part in the success OF the
sport.
"In all the league cities new faces Will APP
pear in the teams, but only a comparatively
few new players. Glasscock viii enthuse
st. Louis, while Boyle and King, the old
time champion battery. will do serVice for
the Giants. Brouthers has signed with
Brooklyn, while Pfeffer will undoubtedly
don a Louisville uniform. Van Haltren
will manage Baltimore, while Tebau Will do
the same service for Cleveland.
"Barnie's face will be new to Washing
ton, bur his excellent managing methods are
well known and he viii undoubtedly bring
these perennial tail-end ers into a good
place at the end Of the second. if not Of the
first seas on. In st. Louis Won der Abe. as
sisted by George Muns0n, will do the man

ger, Chicago its old-time Arson, Pittsburg
has Buchenburger. while for Boston Selee

Ball Field Notes,


Charles G. Fitzpatrick of Danville, H.,
the only one-legged base ball umpire in the
United States or elsewhere, is In the city,
and will shortly open an engagement at a
local theateT as a trick bicyclist. Accord
ing to his own story Mr.. Fitzpatrick lost his
good right leg, which is cut off close to him
self, while looking for work, but this state
ment is doubted ~ many, among whom
may be mentioned j. Peck Sharp, who has
been intimately acquainted with the gentle
man for nearly nine years.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick reached San Francisco last
Friday afternoon under novel and likewise
peculiar circumstances. lie had been show
ing al Butte, Mont, and when he got ready
TO start for this city the railroad company
wanted SIC to transport three bicycles.
Mr.. fitzpatrick objected to being played in
this manner and registered large, robust
kick, even IL he had only one leg. But the
railroad people were obdurate, so Mr.. Kit
patrick evolved a scheme the like of which
had never been heard OF before or since.
He strapped his baggage on two of the
wheels, straddied the third and rode all the
way from Butte TO San Francisco, leading
the other two bicycles with rope. These

association into one great twelve club
league have been readily accepted by the
capitalists, the press, the players. and most
important Of all, the great public, and that
there is q general disposition 10 regard the
work accomplished as the best thing that
could be done, all things considered. TO save
the game from threatened collapse and 10
place 1t in a position TO recover all of its
former prestige and popularity The out
look for baseball in New York is most
promising. J. W. sPALDING."
"This will be my tenth season in profess
sional base ball, ana during that time | have
never known q season where The pitching
strength Of the clubs has divided up so I'M
equally. While taken together the thirty
six pitchers aTpOrtioned 10 the twelve clubs
are the strongest combination we have ever
known in one league there is a decided
W eakness in their individual makeup. But
this may all be remedied, aud believe it
on the part OF everybody TO have The clubs
matched as nearly equal IS possible.
Il don't believe It will be necessary to
make any changes in the rules. We have
got our hands pretty full with testing the
policy Of 4 tWelve-club league and double
season without trying any new rules to per-
plex the public Under the rules in force
now the pitchers have really an easier time
Of it than under the old f0ur-strike rules,
and il should lie the aim Of the managers
of all clubs 10 save their pitchers as much
rs possible. Under the three strike rule he
pitcher has fewer balls TO send over the
plate, and necessarily less work. That

two pack-ticycles had previously been
halter-broke which made the task Of lead
ing much easier.
Tie employees Of the Charles NJ. Plum
Upholstery Company held their yearly out
door spoons on Washington's birthday at
Central Park, consisting Of racing, jumping,
base and foot ball games. The most excit-
ing and interesting feature was the base
ball games, the men CONFUSING three mines
furniture, carpet and Office. The Carpet
nine beat the Furnltures in a closely con-
tested game. ScOre-9 to 8. The Office
nine, who were supposed to be mot in it,"
won all the laurels, gaining easy victories
over the Furnitures with score Of to 5,
and also the Carpets, making II to runs.
These recreations occur every year in ac-
cordance with a custom introduced by the
employer 10 promote soeiability among the
employees. Since the victory Of the Office
men they have been the recipients of a chal-
leuge from the G. w. Clark & Co.'S nine,
which no doubt will be accepted and the
contest set for an early date.
