The most daring base runner in the
League will be Van Dyke, the out
fielder. Won der Abe secured this man
from Sioux City. He is about feet 6
inches tall, weighs IT'S pounds, strong
IS an OK and 10 is claimed can beat any
ball player at sprinting. He once chal-
lenged Billy Sunday. Van is a nervy
lad and takes desperate chances and his
favorite play is TO 20 into the baSeman
I'm q feet first slide. He never sQueals
when ne gets hurt and once Wilson, Of
Lincoln, spiked him in a half dozen
places and brought forth no wall. Van
Is a right handed hitter but not strong,
baing fooled on out curves. But he Is
terror TO left handed pitchers. He is a
uard and Nondy knows IL.
Manager Buckeuberger received an
odd letter yesterday. The envelope
was marked "Anti-Monopoly League,
New York, and Buck opened the mis-
sive with anxiety, thinking perhaps
that the letter head might contain
something more. But IL didn't. The
letter was from CarScy, the Washington
Pitcher, and he asked il there was a
vacancy in the Pittsburgh team for
him. What is the Autobiography
League? Perhaps Carsey got the en-
velOpe from the new League people.
George. Tebeau, a brother TO Pat Te-
beau, buL not by One-half as good ball

Pitcher Esper, Of the Phillies, has al
ready asked that he be given his full
share Of work. His arm IS better than

pitch and win at least two games

New York offers $1,000 and Bassett

his hobby, and irrigation was . topic

The man was D. P, Ballard, attorney

lessly independent. Now the independent
young damsel has all at once taken II into
her head to take 4 very big step again 10
the direction Of what she Is pleased to call
equality. What until quite recently was
q ball or q dance without dancing men I
A failure, and thing Of which hostess
stood In greater dread than Of failure Of
the piece de resistance at the dinner or
supper table. The dancing man knew
his value, and tried to augment It by
giving himself the air Of q martyr when
entering ballroom the girl suffered him
Tor awhile in this character, and then
since she has grown 90 very energetic
and Observation-Disclosures to do with
out him.
Now she gives q skirt dance or q minuet
with q beautiful imPartiality that deserves
admiration, and the men may admire or
stay away as they please; II isimmaterial
to the girls. Girls dance after dinner
party IS formerly they gave q song. You

Il must be twelve yards wide. 20 that II
can be gracefully taken up by the dancer,
but as fashions 90 that Is no extraordinary

the heart to perform singly before adraw-
Ing room Of spectators. Skirt dancing
will be very general indeed at this
seasons dancing. Step dancing will,

will not end with the season.
One thing which Is. greatly 10 favor Of
skirt dansing Is the fact that Il is so much
more artistic and beautiful than the
ordinary round dances. But this Is mt
the chief reason Of its popularity. Men
are very lazy. They wont dance, and 1t
gets more and more diiRcult to ret them
to learn and practice dancing. Girls. on
the other hand, are extremely fond Of It.
OF course two girls can dance . round
dance together, and have often seen II
done but Ii does not look well. With
step dancing and skirt dancing 1t IL quite
different. II looks very charming II two
girls dance . minnet or national dance,
or n one Rirl alone does skin dancing. Il
