improved greatly or else those fellows out there
must be sdubs' with the stick, as Pete was no

The double championship season will be tried
in the new Western League, which has also in
troduced the innovation of having the different
cities draw for one of the eight teams selected
so as to be as nearly equal possible In playing
strength The hrst championship will consist
of eighty four games and end in August. The
second viii have fifty-six games and the winners
will meet after il and battle for the champion
ship OF the league. Another new feature Will be
that every game will consist of the full nine
innings, and every postponed game Will De
played on the following day. The manager VIII
be allowed to get on the line and coach.
About the only important changes planned IN
the playing rules this season is the reduction oil
the number OF called balls required TO give
ba;sman his base, from four to three. This Will
eoualize the chances OF the batsman and give
better opportunity for scientific head WORK
Back in the seventies IL required nine bad balls
to send the batter to his base, but the number
has gradually been cut down year by year. In
1887 with five balls, the number of strikes was
increased to four, but this innovation did not
last, and with return TO three strikes the num-
Ter of balls was decreased in order to even
things.

ROsLYN,s COOKING MAIN.
Two Spirited Fights for Good Sized
Purses.

CLE-ELUM, Feb. IA very exciting cock
main of two battles was held at Roslyn
Saturday night, the first battle for $40 and
the second for $40. The principal fight
was between red and black shawlneck
bird owned by James Bell and a
ginger red, owned by John Bevins. The
latter pitted his own bird. while John
O'Neil, an expert pitter, handled the Bell
cock The fight was very spirited. On the
third fly Bells bird broke the point off one
steel, and the socket fastening, became
loose, permitting the gait to slip off the
heel, placing him at great disadvantage.
The hy in which the steel was broken laid
out the Beyins bird apparently Gfeless.
After the count O'Neil picked up the
Bell bird and started to cut the socket
fastening in the intervene before time was
called, privilege ne claimed under the
Canadian rules which governed the
fight. Bevins called for foul, and
in the few minutes consumed in
settling the question his bird was restored
to a fighting condition and fought vigor-
ously to the finish, winning the purse.
While neither bird was killed, both wore
badly punished.
The second fight was between grey
pile owned by Bell and a wsl-bred bird
belonging to John Brooks. The former
won the purse after few minutes spirited
work. A match for 500 side in a four
battle main has been arranged for four
weeks hence

BOYDNOW GOVERNOR.
Thayer Sends a Graceful Note
to His Rival.
CHANGE TAKES PLACE TODAY
Thayer Wants to Leave the State-Boyd's
Friends Jubilant and viii Cele-
brate in Democratic style.

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. THE State
Journal will contain the following to-
morrow: The Nebraska gubernatorial
muddle is settled for the present at least.
The attorneys of Governor Thayer are
not certain that the Office can be
legally turned over to Governor Boyd be-
fore an official mandate is received, but
Thayer wishes to leave the state this week
and has been SO much annoyed by the
clamor by Boyd's friends, that he has
determined to surrender the seat i'm
mediately if Boyd is willing to take the
responsibility of holding the official papers.
Mr.. Thayer's letters rendering the office to
Mr.. Boyd are made public this evening, as
follows:
STATE OF NEBRASKA, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
LINCOLN, Neu., Feb 7, lS92.
Governor James L. Boyd, Omaha, Neb.-S{r:
When l commenced proceedings year ago TO
test your title to the office of governor, dld
in the belief that there was great doubt in the
public mind as to your citizenship and eligible
ity. then took occasion to publicly say that as
soon as your citizenship was established by the
courts l would gladly surrender the Office to
you. The contest was not one OF personal
strife, nor to satisfy any ambition of my
own, but TO comply with and uphold the con-
stitution of the state. Now that the public
press has announced that the highest tribunal
has declared, under the constitution and laws
of our country and STATE your right to the office
of governor, without awaiting the mandate OF
court as am about 10 leave the state Ton Mon
day. to be absent some weeks, it would be most
convenient to turn over the office 10 you at
O'Clock p. IN. on that day (Monday) if it is your
pleasure to accept the same at that time. Very
respectfully, JOHN NJ. THAYER
OMAHA, Neb., Feb. Especial. IA
letter from Governor Thayer, quoted
in the Lincoln dispatch, was handed Gov
ernor Boyd by a reporter, who asked If the
governor had anything to say. The gov
ernor positively declined to be interviewed,
saying simply he would go at once to Lin
coin and take charge OF the office. Charles
Ogden. chairman OF the Democratic stare
committee, will accompany the governor.
There has been no demonstration, but on
February Is q general reception will be
rendered Governor Boyd by the Demo-
cratic organizations of the state.

usual sound woke many sleeping people
and brought policemen 10 the scene, who
at once sent in the fire alarm. When the
fire was finally gotten under control there
was general inquiry as TO who had taken
lodging at the hotel, and who had
gotten out in safety. Neither the pro-
prietor nor attaches could give the names
OF but a few of their personal acquaint-
ances. Then a call was naturally made
for the hotel register. 1t could not be
found, although it was not apparent that
it had been destroyed A search was instI-
tuted and an enterprising newspaper man
was found making off with it, thinking
thereby, doubtless, to secure "beat" on
his contemporaries by printing the exelu-
sive list of names, but he was despoiled OF
his prize and may have to answer TO
the charge of larceny in the bargain.

could have set fire to the floor and wall or

have started in this way. En-
gineer Harding is confident Il at
his furnace and boiler were in good order
and that no burning Goals escaped. The
boiler blew up an hour and a half after the
fire had broken out. 1t was common
gossip in the servants dormitory at 629
Sixth avenue that Night Clerk Underwood
was asleep at the time of the fire. The
scrub women said he was generally asleep
at that hour in the morning. No one
could be found TO verify this report.

pany's ride team, which has accepted the
Gun clubs challenge for a prize trial at
craftsmanship. spent several hours
last evening searching for Adjutant-
General O'Brien. The rifle team claims
that General O'Brien agreed to send the
company a target for use in rifle practice.
The target never came, and now the sharp
shooters say they cannot ''shoot" the Gun
club if they cannot get their target from
the state. One hundred dollars is the
prize offered the winners of the match.
Howard Lewis, president of the Seattle
Gun Club, encouraged the projectors of
the Tacoma Rifle, Rod and Gun Club last
week by promising that his club would
send over a team of six men to partic-
ipate in the tournament next Fri
day and Saturday. Whatcom Will
also send a team of six men, and
1t is expected Portland and Kalama
gunners will attend. Arrangements have
been made for the use of wood powder
during the tournament This powder
makes little smoke. A bulkhead has been
erected at the south end of the exposition
building to stop the bullets and prevent
possible accidents by passing through the
building into the neighboring streets.

follow. John s. Barnes, who, whatever
else may be said of him. is one OF the best
organizers in the profession. is working in
the new territory, and reports satisfactory
progress.
In the matter of location the two towns
who are likely to be admitted to member
ship have much TO recommend them.
WalIa Walla is 200 miles distant from Spo-
kane. but is directly on the line taken by
Portland on the way to John 5. Barnes
town. 1t is but thirty miles off the
route followed by Seattle and Tacoma
in going to Spokane. Wardner
is a little over 100 miles from Spokane,
and nearly half of this distance is lost
when clubs visit it without first going to
Spokane The result of such an arrange
ment is that the mileage east of the
mountains will be but little more in visit

the old circuit, which had only Spokanein

THEY WANT THE "KID."
Pittsburg Making an Effort to Get the
Seattle Clubs Crack Pitcher.

Pittsburg Making an Effort to Get the
Seattle Clubs Crack Pitcher.
The Pittsburg club. which has for years
maintained a reputation for freebooting
and general disregard of baseball law, is.
judging from reports, making bluff for a
Seattle player. The Philadelphia Public
Ledger prints the following dispatch from
Pittsburg:
The Pittsburg baseball club has accepted the
terms of William Camp, of Omaha, right
handed pitcher who was with the Portland club
last year aud pitched exceptionally well in the
series OF games between Portland aud San Jose.
He is but 10 years old, and was signed in the
expectancy of being slowly developed for fast
company.
This undoubtedly refers to our own
"Kid. but about the only correct thing in
the dispatch is the young pitchers last
name. Everybody on the Coast knows
that for the past two seasons
he did fine box work for the Sc
attic club. After the close of the Pacific
Northwest season last fail he went to Cali
fornia with the Portland club, and it was
his magnificent pitching there against San
Jose that attracted attention in the East.
A number of major league players were
wintering in San Francisco and had
clance to see his work and report it to
their managers.
In the matter of age the kid" is GER
tainly a youngster yet, but is % years of
age instead of 10, as appears in the dis
patch. Most important of all, the name of
Winfield Scott Camp is on the reserve list
of the Seattle club, and it has never con-
scented to release him nor given any other
club leave to negotiate with him. 1t he
has signed with Pittsburg, or accepted
terms there, the transaction will be of no
force under the provisions of the national
agreement. Camp is good enough for the
fastest company, and it is not improbable
that the Seattle club may have to sell his
release for good price. At present, how
ever, he belongs here and nowhere else.
