Short Items of Gossip About Ehe Game
and Its Players.
The Angels seem to have been taking
almost everything that came their way
the past week. They have now the
long end of the series with San Fran
cisco, and it is the first tiue in long
while that they have been sosuccessful.
This has been particularly gratifying to
their friends, especially as they have
taken the series to the tune Ef four out
of five, and it has landed them in first
place. This is whore they belong and
where they should have no trouble in
remaining the remainder of the season.
x*x
It appears that the habit is growing
one. For a couple of months Col. I. p.
Robinson did not release man, and as a
natural result the team work of his club
picked up NATURALLY, and the Oaklands
were putting up very formidable game
OF ball. But with the opening Of the
second half of the season 1he colonel
practically reorganized his team. Some
of the changes, perhaps all of them,
were individual improvements, but the
club does not play winning ball. The
last change that took place. and the one
that surprised everyone familiar with
the situation, was the release OF Fred
Carroll and substitution in his place of
big BABY Brown, of the last season
Philadelphia team, who is gust barely
convalescent from long spell of sick
ness. To the ordinary on-looker there
appears to be absolutely no logical
reason why the change should have been
made. A San Francisco paper says the
NorroIl
5000 month, and that he gets Brown
for $3.50. But even this bit of financial
economy hardly makes the difference in
the value of the two men. Brown play
ed first base for the Philadelphia last
wear. and at the close of the season he
had q batting average Of 242 and fielc-
ing percentage of 986. In liz games in
which he played he stole nine bases.
This record places him well up at the
lead of the list in fielding, With batting
only fair, and base running below me-
diocrity. On the other hand take Car
rolls record in the fourteen games in
which he played during this half OF the
league season. During this time he
was fifty-six times at bat, hit the ball
twenty-three times and made sixteen
runs. He had 128 fielding chances, and
accepted all but seven of them, playing
both first base and right field. Here
you have q batting average OF All and
o fielding percentage of about 900. But
this does not tell all the story. Carroll
is hard as well as safe hitter, for in
this same summary should be included
three home runs, two three-b base hits
and nine two-baggers. As base runner
he has q record of nine stolen bases and
sixteen runs in the fourteen games.
With team wofully near the distance
pole, it would seem as though the diff
ference of $50 per month was poor
economy, even II that amount repre-
sented the relative value of the two
mon. And now it appears that Colonel

A Serious Split in Chicago Trades

CHICAGO, Aug. 81. There is serious
split among the trades unions, and the
chances are that there will be two par
AIDES, and possibly trouble, on Labor
day. The difficulty arises from
the action of the Chicago Musicians
union demanding seven dollars a man
on Labor day, instead of five as hereto
fore. The laboring men, who are to act
as capitalists, and foot the parade ex-
penses, object to the increase, and have
made arrangements with non-union
bands. Others will pay the price asked,

then turned, clasping the collar tightly,
and at the same moment projecting a

Owing to the great excitement among
the populace, and the fears OF an out

the platform upon which the prisoners
were executed. The plaza was crowded
with dense throng of people, who ap-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The story is
ahoat in this city, but upon no named au-
thority, that Mr.. Blaine has reached "a
definite determination to resign his com
mission as secretary Of state. Only the
date at which this action shall be taken
remains undetermined. Mr.. Blaine, if he
follows his personal inclination, would, it
is said, tender the President his sesigna-
tion at once, but he realizes that such an
act, following Immediately upon his letter
TO Chairman Clarkson, would be widely
misinterpreted, and would be construed
as an act OF pique or as indicating serious
differences between the President and his
premier
Therefore Mr.. Blaine will postpone his
resignation from the Cabinet until time
enough shall have elapsed 10 separate in
the public mind that act from his an
nouncement that his name would not go
before the Republican National Conven-
tion for the Presidential nomination.
The reason which Secretary Blaine will

for retiring from the Cabinet will be that
OF physical inability
II has been the hope of Mr.. Blaine for
several months To spend some Of the pres
ent winter in warmer climate. When
he left Bar Harbor last fall IL was with
the intention of going from Washington

Texas or TO Mexico to spend the winter
The Chilean imbroglio dragged its

may succeed Mr. Blaine as Secretary of

Prevalent Conditions Warrant Ex-
tended Local Control.
HARC0URT AGAINST SALISBURY.
The Debate ON the Queens Speech New
foundiand and Egypt Brought Into
the Discussion-Franc and Egypt
Friendiy-Reid Rides Horseback.

LONDON, Feb. 10.-In the House of
Lords yesterday Lord Salisbury said the
absence OF special reference in the Queens
speech to the order and prosperity in Ire
land showed the confidence of the gov
ernment in the country's fitness for local
self-government.
The fact that an Irish local government
bill was proposed implied that conditions
now prevailed in Ireland which justified
the government in giving that country
extended powers of local control.
With regard to Egypt Lord Salisbury
said that after the sacrifices Great Britain
had made in connection with that coun-
try, he believed England would never
surrender its supremacy there to another
power.
Replying TO the criticism of the Earl OF
Kimberly regarding the absence of any
reference to Newfoundland in the Queens
speech, Lord Salisbury said the present
settlement OF the question was not due TO
the action of the government, but TO the
people OF Newfoundland themselves.
The address in reply TO the speech from
the throne, which had been moved by the
Earl OF Dudley, was then passed by the
House OF Lords.
Mr.. Hodge moved the adoption OF the
address in reply To the Queens speech
Sir William Vernon Harcourt then
spoke with regard TO the Irish local gov
ernment bill. Sir William said that IL
genuine, honest measure was promoted
the opposition would support it, but they
could not regard II as local government II
only some application of the country
council system was TO be taken as settling
the question OF self-government. (Cries
of "Hear, Hear"
Sir William added that Lord Salisbury's
recent speech at Exeter about a Catholic
regime in Ireland in the event OF home
rule being granted, did not promi e well
for the liberality OF the coming bill
The remarks OF the prime minister at
Exeter. ,.Sir William declared, were as un-
founded historically, as they were un-
statesmanlike.
Those remarks could only mean that
nowhere under English rule ought Cath
olic majority TO possess the right OF a ma
jority. Suppose, he asked, such remarks
were made in Canada or Australian
Mr.. Balfour said that Sir William had
distorted the meaning OF Lody Salisbury's
remarks at Exeter. The proposals. OF the
ministers granting an extension OF local
government as wen as an education meas
ure to Ireland, would s.law that the gov
ernment had confidence in a Catholic
majority.
He hoped that Sir Williams silence on
the other topics in the Queens speech in
dicated that the debate on the address in
reply would not be prolonged.

EXERCISE IN SCHOOL.
woburn High school Pupils Have too
Much Calistbenics.

Much Cal1sthenlcs.
WoBURN, Feb. 1O.-To exercise or not
to exercise seems still to be the ques-
tion at Woburn. Ever since the pub
lication last Thursday of the fact
that two high school girls tainted during
the nexercise,n the subject OF physical
culture has been the talk OF the town,
and, in spite of vigorous denials on the
ly some cause for complaint.
The youg ladies have protested that the
system of calisthenics now in use is not
injurious, but their talk at home, as well
as the appearance OF the girls, indicates
that they may be mistaken, and that
however beneficial their system may be,
the fact cannot be disguised that as one
of them said to her mother t"they feel II
for hours afterward."
Samuel w Mendum, master OF the high
school, and the teachers in charge of
physical culture claim that the rules Of
the school cover all difficulties, and that
any pupil physically unable to take their
exercise can be temporarily excused upon
application to the first assistant teacher
Miss Jacobs, and upon presentation OF a
physicians certificate may be permanent
ly released from the class.
But this state of affairs is not wholly
satisfactory. The girls maintain that
Miss Barnes is the teacher of physical cul-
ture, and the proper person to excuse
them from her class, and that application
to Miss Jacobs detracts from the author
ity OF Miss Barnes. Some of the pupils
therefore, have not applied TO the first
assistant in cases of illness, and have en-
tered the class in physical culture hoping
to be excused by the teacher, when their
presence in the class was taken as an in
dication of their ability to exercise, w hich
has not always been the case.
