and Pitcher France is in the Flour City.
Several of the other twenty-five men
have TO come long distances, and will
probably not get i'll until near the end
of the week. Just how the st. Paul
team will stack up" is, of course,
a matter of conjecture. There
is, howevr, great deal OF confidence
cropping out, and plenty of confidence.

ager Thompson expresses the belief
that he has as good club as any in the

without saying that Alvord can

uses his head. bats like fiend, and is
gentleman both on and off the field. of
Satellite little need be said. He has
been in the business for many years,
and has all the time been right in the
front rank. The GLOBE has taken pains
to look up the record of MotZ, and is in
cined to the belief that he is phe
nomenOn. Last year he played eighty
six games with the Portland club, of the
Pacific league. His fielding average was
$50, his batting average 1896, and he
Itole 90 bases. He will do. Fielder PeltZ
Is also evidently pretty good one. He
played forty games last year with the
Lebanon Eastern league team, when he
was injured and had to retire. His
home is New Orleans, and the fear is
expressed that his long journey i'm
mediately northward to much colder
climate may unfit HIM for the irst-class
work for few weeks. HOgriver played
part of last season with Kansas City,
finishing up with one of the Wisconsin
league teams. He is only an average
man either at bat or in the
field. There are several Don
pghues playing ball, and which of
these has been assigned to ST. Paul is
not definitely known. Until this is
settled, it will be useless to figure
OH his record. Pitcher Wadsworth
played last year with the Portland. Pa
rific Coast league. He is reported to be
a SPLENDID pitcher, but not able to do
much with the bat. Cunningham
pitched thirty-one games for Baltimore
last year, and good part of the time
was considerable of puzzler. Holland
has done some of the clevereSt kind of
excellent trim for the season. OF Keefe
and Collins very little IS known. Smith
will probably not play in st. Paul.
Negotiations are now on to exchange
him for Hengle. who is here considered
y much better man.

Mr.. Thompson went to Minneapolis
yesterday and had a conference with
Mr.. Morton in reference to the spring
Ferries between the Twins. Nothing
definite was arranged, as it depends
somewhat on the weather as to when
the grounds will be in condition. With
fair weather the grounds will probably
get in trim In ten days. 1t is
now expected that the first game will
be played in Minneapolis on Saturday,
April g. the second in st. Paul the fol-
lowing day, the third in Minneapolis
the 18th and the fourth in st. Paul the
18th. If an odd game be necessary to

leave for the Southwest on the 18th to
open the regular season.
The st. Paul Wilmots are organized
Tor the season of 1892. They held an
enthusiastic meeting March 10, which
wound up with a banquet. The officers
of the club are j. d. Gruber, manager;
c. ID. Kennedy, captain; A. Stark,
chairman, and S. Painter, treasurer.
The team will be as follows: Shoule and
Hatton, catchers; VOgel and Broderick,
pitchers; G. Picha, shortStop. Emerson,
first base; Kennedy, second base;
Burke, third base; S. Picha, center
field. Right and left field will be occu-
pied by the pitcher and catcher who are
not in the points. The Wilmots are now
ready for challenges from the clubs of
st. Paul, Minneapolis and other cities
of the state.
Matters in regard to the new North
western Athletic ASSOCIATION are shap-
Ing themselves nicely. Officers will be
chosen some time during the coming
formation as to the events which will
occur at the big field day the first
week in June. The gentlemen who
are pushing the matter have received so
much encouragement that they are
thinking of extending the programme
to some extent. Among other things, a
match III archery Will be arranged to
give the ladies 4 chance to get inter
eSted in healthful outdoor sports. 1t is
proposed to rent the new base ball park
during some Saturday in June and put
on the biggest programme of general
sporting events ever attempted west of
Chicago.
