ANOTHER PLAYER SIGNED.
McCIoskey Adds Jumbo Welsh to His


McOloSkey Adds Jumbo Welsh to His
List.
Manager McCloskey has signed Jimmie
WEIGH to play first base on the Savannah
team. Jumbo" Welsh, as he is better
known in ball circles, is a fine catcher,
terrific batter, and is considered one Of
the best players in the country. He has
gained a reputation for his brilliant work
on the Montgomery team and has also
played with the Toledo and Buffalo
teams.
McCloskey is negotiating with two
California league men to play third base
and short stop, which will complete his
string of players. He has several other
men signed, but does not deem 1t advisab BILE
to make their names public Just at present.
McCloskey's daily mail is assuming
large proportions, and although his cor
respondence with the players keeps him
busy, he manages to find time to keep in
practice and has already reduced his
weight several pounds. He is a hard,
conscientious worker and when the league
season opens will be in the pink of condi-
ton. He has rugged up a small gym
nasium and exercises every day on his
lifting machine and also punches the bag
1t now looks as if the New Yorks will
not come south this spring. The expenses
of the trip are very large, and as the
Southern League teams will not be made
up loss stares the big club in the face
IT is said that the management of the
Charleston team has offered the New
Yorks $500 to 90 there, and Manager
Ward may yet deem the trip worth the
expense.
IRE Sporting News, in speaking of the
Southern League managers, says: Nc
Closkey, the hustler who has done so
much to boom base ball in Texas and Cal
ifornia, has signed with the Savannah
club. The latter organization is to be con-
graduated in securing his services, but
he will be very badly missed in the Lone
Star state, where the game is just now
being famed into life again. We wish
him well in the new field he has entered
and commend him to the people of the
south as one of the best, cleverest and most
conscientious managers in the minor
league field

The Sports Pleased With the Solicitor
Generals Statement.
Solicitor General Fraser's position in re-
gard to the Silverthorn-DuTv sparring
cOntestas published in yesterdays MORN
ING News, was seriously discussed in
sporting circles during the day.
The men who are directly interested in
the exhibition are highly pleased, and do
not anticipate any trouble when The con-
test takes place. Tickets for the exhibit
ton have been placed on sale, and large
number have already been taken.
The contest will take place Monday
night at the Thunderbolt Driving Park.
The men will report at the park accord

and will begin to spar promptly at 8.

hands or feet. Duffy was seen yesterday.
Il have every reason to believe he said ,
THAT my chances are good, aud although
l never saw Snverthorn before coming to
Savannah, l think l can get more points

Duffy is Canadian by birth, and will

Dan Daley, the well-known boxer of
New York, is training Duffy at White
Bluff, and expects to have his man in eX-
cellent trim for the contest. Duffy rises
at 6 in the morning, takes brisk walk of
| three miles and then has breakfast, which
consists of steaks, chops, eggs, weak tea
and toast. After breakfast he starts

roast beef, one vegetable and the usual
weak tea and toast. In the afternoon

punches the bag again, skips the rope and
swings light Indian clubs. He generally
| spars little with his trainer, and after a
light supper is through with his days

REGISTRARS SWORN IN.
Messrs. Saussy and Manucy Ready
to Begin the Work of Registration.

Messrs. Saussy and Manuoy Ready
to Begin the Work of Registration.
The registrars of county voters, Messrs.
Clement Saussy and A N. Manucy, were
sworn in before the registration commits
sion in Judge Falligants Office yesterday
at noon.
Each took the oath that he would faith
fully perform the duties of a registrar of
Chatham county, that he would not in any
manner whatever hinder or Obstruct the
registration Of any citizen who is law
fully entitled to register, and that he
would not knowingly permit any person
tore gister Illegally.
Having thus qualified, the commission
ers are ready to begin their work Mon
day morning at o'clock. The registra-
ton will continue thereafter until the
first Monday in June. The books will be
kept open in the Office of the ordinary
every day except Sunday. They will be
open for registration from Monday to
Friday inclusive from 9 a. IN. to D. m,
and on Saturdays from 8 a. m. until s
p. m.
The books are now in the office of the
ordinary. They will be turned over to
the registrars when they assume charge
OF their duties Monday morning, and will
be IN charge of both of them until 2
o'clock p. m. when they will be put in
the vault IN the ordinary's Office, under
the seal of the registration commission,
remaining there until they are opened the
next day.
The first fault that has been found with
the law as passed by the legislature, so
far IS, that 1t provided no dinner hour for
the registrars on Saturdays. The law
requires that on these days the books
shall be In the possession of the regis
trars from 8 O'Clock a. m. until s p. m.
This question came up when they were
sworn in. There was no escape, however
no loOphOle by which either or both of
them could get away to dinner on SaCur-
days, and they will have to catch their
lunch on the fly. The law distinctly spec
ities that they must both be in charge of
the books between those hours mentioned
and the commission held that there was
no other course to pursue but to remain
on duty all day Saturday.
The duties Of the registrars are famil-
lar to almost everyone by this time. Each
voter Is to register his name, age
occupation and residence, and must fur
nish the registrars satisfactory evidence
that he has paid all taxes required of
him since 1876. The other laws with
regard 10 the exercise of the franchise
power in reference to residence in the
state twelve months and in the county
six months, etc, must Of course be com
piled with.
The registrars will receive $500 each
for the entire work of three months. The
book, which is now in the office of the
ordinary, provides blanks for registering
the date, color, name, residence, occupa-
ton and district of each voter.

THE BLUEsrEIN CASE.

Rights Of Children in Squares.


Rights OF Children in Squares.
The damage suit of L. Bluestein against
the Electric Railway Comp any for $40, GOO
for the killing OF his young son, Barney,
last fail was taken up in the city court
yesterday, and after all the plaintiffs
testimony was in. the defense moved for
a nou-suit, which Judge NacDonell over
ruled. The suit will continue before the
jury this morning at 10 O'Clock.
During the progress of the trial vester-
day morning quite a discussion took
place as to the rights of chill
dren to play in the squares. 1t
was urged on one side that they had no
right there, while on the other it was
held that the squares were made for the
children, and that in Savannah they col-
s.ituted the main Fairgrounds so in
tended. There seems 10 be little question
about children's rights there, however.
except in the playing of games which
were prohibited by the city ordinances
Whether hitting the Stick comes under
that classification of games remains to be
seen. 1t is not specified in the ordinance

ciates were playing at the time of the

to be derived from the steam pilot boat, in
case the sail boats are to be disposed Of

a Zinc Piece Of Work.

In the cake and confectionery store of
Mr.. George Bartels, on Broughton near
Price street, can be seen a largo size
model in pure sugar of the German steam
ship Fulda, the work of Mr. Bartels, and
we venture the assertion that a better
piece of work in completeness of model
and execution in detail was never turned
out anywhere, and esta blishcs Mr.. Bar
tells as a tirst-class artist. Some three
years ago MIR. Bartels executed from a
photograph q beautiful model Of the con-
federate monument in the park extension
which has been on exhibition At his store,
and was greatly admired by all who had
the pleasure of seeing it. Since the com
pletion of the ship he has presented the
monument to the confederate veterans. A
visit to his store and an inspection of the
beautiful model now on exhibition will be
well repaid. That we have artistic work
men among US is fully demonstrated in
this case. Mr. Bartels is prepared to
execute anything in this line at short
notice.-ad.
