as the Indianapolis team at that time was suffering from famine of pitchers Brush penetrated the mattress factory, where he found Amos stuffng hair mattresses with excelsior. The young Hoogler was dragged away to the diamond and to faihe. Op- portunity made him great From Indian apolis he went to New York in baseball slavery, and from New York there is no place else to go when one Is chasing glory. Now that have recalled the discovery of Rusie it may be expected that the va rious mattress factories of tho country will be oyerrun by searching committees from the various League clubs which would give more for good pitcher than Richard offered for pedigreeless horse when he wanted to tako a oanter from Bosworth field.
 Every baseball crank in New York will join me in the sentiment God bless mat tress factoriesl But the wild western waste which has recently had sort of cyclonic experience with Rusie will probably invoke a different kind of blessing upon those use- full institutions.
 How many great men are even now stuffing mattresses, if we only knewl

PITCHER AMOS RUSIE OF NEW YORK. there would be no baseball in Brooklyn if he did not crawl out of the Ohio woods and assist Captain Foutz with his wizard touch, has lately been wallowing with the common herd. The western hired men have become unduly familiar with MT. Kennedy's once deceptive curves and shoots, and the head which month ago wore No. 8 split straw now rattles around in No. like seed pea in yell low pod.
 Killen, of whose fame-past and pro- spective-I told you last spring has suffer ed the proud mans contumely and borne fardels until the temptation of bare bod .kin must sorcly try his fear of dreams, which may come in that bourne from which no baseball pitcher ever returns, and all that sort of thing Even the once in vulnerable Achilles Nichols has been shot in the heel with painful frequency of late and has walked to the bench in the midst of a game just like a common minor league pitcher. Then there is the rustic son of Cleveland, Farmer Young, begosh, whose reputation has received innumera- ble bombardments from tho catapult bats of the eastern knights of labor (two hours per diem).
 Head and shoulder above them all in prowess now stands Rusie-Little Annie, as he is endearingly called in New York. Other heroes of the curves may go down, but he has stood the unconquerable Ma poleon of the ballfeld. To his great work is due much of the Giants recent success. Annie may be swept away yet by the epi- delnic of heavy batting, but l think he will last better than any of them. It has been pcculiarity of his work that, like a watermelon, he never is at his best till harvest is past. From that time till the frost is on the pumpkin and the neglegee shirt is in hook he remains king of tha pitchers.
 At present Colonel Rusie may he seen in his majestic might Physically he lacks in naught. His right arm is as large as a mules thigh and is productive of equally as much execution Across the back he resembles the gable end of an ele- phant, and in strength tho historic Sam son may have had few points tLe better Idon't believe Amos would come out first best" in choking match with a Numidian lion, but he can unhinge more ribs with a single pitched ball than any living man. It is the undying affection which batsmen in general have for the welfare oi their ribs which prevents them from humiliating Rusie before his friends and admirers.
 Somewhere back in the eighties John Tiberius Brush of Indianapolis discovered Rusie and when discoverers are remem- bered with monuments Brush should not be forgotten. Columbus discovered Amer lea, it is true, and without America we should be somewhat embarrassed, but what would America be without Rusie2
 Explorer Brush found Rusie in a mat tress factory in Indianapolis. He heard there was a big boy in that factory who pitched good ball for amateur clubs, and

 Eleven seems to be the charmed number in baseball this year. It is the nc plus ul- tra of straight victories beyond which no National League club has succeeded in go- ing, though three of tho 12 have run the limit. First the Brooklyns made "11 straight" the record for the season, and the Cincinnatis tied them with another chain of l victories But the Baltimores cut short Comiskey's ambition to beat the Brooklyns record and left the result a tied contest.
 Next came the New Yorks, with string of II linked triumphs, and they, too, fell down in the twelfth attempt Thus was made the remarkable showing of three clubs in close order scoring II "hand run ming wins'' each. To the New Yorks, however, must be given the palm, because every one of their Il games was won on foreign fields whereas the Cincinnatis and Brooklyns scored nearly all their points at home. If I am not mistaken, the New Yorks' record is new ono for tho Nation al league and stands alone. No other League club, so far as my memory goes, has won | consecutive games on the road. To accomplish that talk is indeed a re- markable triumph when it is remembered that the travelling team is compelled to face all the disadvantages of which I spoke on former occasion. Two years ago the Philadelphia team won Is straight" games, but the record was made for the most part on their own diamond.
 This remarkable spurt of the New Yorks has not been what is known as "fluke." It was the result of excellent team work, unusual harmony among the players, care fulness in personal habits, and, last, but not least, the fine effective pitching of the clubs corps of "twirlers. While tho pitchers of every other League team were taking their respective doses of bat saliva tion the New York pitchers were alternat- ing, with steady, telling work.
 During this time nearly all tho League teams were on "strike'' of vigorous pro- portions, and pitchers wero being 'called out'' of the diamond by their captains with painful regularity. The peerless Kennedy, who last spring imagined that

KILLING OF GAME.

Warden Audrus of Minnesota suggests
Some Changes in the Laws.
ST. PAUL, Dec. CIV. P. Andrus, the
executive agent Of the state game and
fish commission, proposes several
amendments to the present state law.
One is to change the open season for
deer SO it will begin on Nov. 10 and
close on Dec. 1. Another amendment
is to prohibit tho spring shooting of
ducks. In regard to fishing, he favors
extending the winter season to Feb. /,
providing it be done in a legal manner
Mr.. Andrus has been looking into
the charges that there has been an
unusual slaughter of deer this season.
From reports received he is of the
opinion that not more than 5000 deer
have been killed and shipped. This
will not include the number killed in
the lumber camps. Five years ago,
before the commission was organized,
it is estimated that $4,000 deer were
slaughtered each season. This num-
Der has been gradually reduced. While
there is no apparent diminution in the
number of deer in the woods, he is of
the opinion that it would be agood
plan to prohibit the killing Of deer en-.
tirely for at least two years.

Interesting Tests Made With Four
Cannon Balls to Show the

A Tremendous Force That Would be
Of In%calculable Service in War

There is q big Pinch gun standing on
top OF the Sramparts at Willet's Point,
NY. 1t is an innocent looking gun,
and a big coil of telegraph cable wound
around the muzzle end of the piece sug-
gests that it has become fractured, and
that the government is experimenting
with an economical method Of repairing
b~roken-down ordnance. The CUR, how
ever, is the most powerful electro-mag-
net in the world, excepting those Of
natures own construction at the imagi-
nary points of the earth known as the
magnetic poles.
The big imagined is the invention Of
Col. w. r. King, commander of the en-
gineer corps of the army stationed there,
and some very interesting experiments
have been made with it. When Col.
King conceived the idea of building an
immense electromagnetic, he had no
thought of it's possibilities. There en-
tered into the construction of the first
magnet, two huge guns, some pieces of
iron, and q good many miles Of heavy in
sulated telegraph wire. The guns stood
Or carriages on top Of the fort. The
pieces of iron were fastened across the
breaches OF the cannon, and were held in
place by chains, forming a horseshoe.
The telegraph wire was wound around
the muzzle ends Of the guns, making
two immense spools. The current Of
electricity was supplied by a dynamo,
and the first time the magnet was oharg.
ed, it developed marvellous power.
The work undertaken simply as an
experiment, soon became a matter OF
great Importance. The magnet had moi
been long in existence, when it was
discovered that it would derange a YES.

CoRBETT TO BE CALLED.

Lexow Committee Desires His Testimony
Regarding a Blnckmail Scheme.
NEW YORK, Dec. GA sensation has
been caused in sporting circles by a re.
port that Champion Corbett will soon
be called before the Lexow committee
to tell what he knows about a 81, 600
blackmail several years ago. Corbett's
manager, Billy Brady, it is said also
knows all about it. When Charlie
Mitchell came to this country in 1891,
a meeting took place between Corbett
and Mitchell in the Clipper Office in
January, 1892. After much discussion
it was mutually agreed that for the
gate receipts, the men should meet in a
limited number of rounds in Madison
Square Garden.
Wanted All the Profits.
Brady had arranged with Mitchell to
secure the garden for the specified date,
and actually put down adeposit for the
purpose Of $1,000. Brady and Corbett
figured on a $22, 900 house, but it is al
legged that representatives Of the police
demanded a third of the net receipts
and would insist upon putting men Oh
the turnstiles and in the pay boxes.
The proposition almost winded the
pugilists, particularly the English con-
tingent. They said the simple English
of the thing was a $1,000 Or So, 1000
blackmail, and they declined to deal
with highwaymen. The date set for the
match was Washington's birthday, Feb.
70, and upon it's expiring, the signed
articles were destroyed. Corbett and
Mitchell never faced each other in COM
petition in Madison Square garden, al
though formally matched and sched-
uled to do SO on the date given.
It is said that the garden. when en-.
gagged for any boxing exhibition. is a
prolific money-maker, and Brady will,
it is more than limited, be questioned
as to how much he has put up in cold
cash in return for permits for his fstic
shows in this city.

from the fort. This discovery eug-
gested that if il time of wal an enemy's
ship attempted to pass the fort under
cover Of darkness, or during the preva,
lence Of a heavy fog, when the pilots
would have to depend solely upon the
ships compass, the commanders of the
war ships would probably find their yes
sells ashore near Wlllet's Point, where
they could be blown up with torpedoes,
or destroyed by the guns Of the fort.
Many experiments have been made
from time to time, in testing the power
of the big magnet. One Of the most in
teresting ever attempted is shown in the
accompanying illustration Of Col. King,
who can be seen standing at the right
Of the picture. A number Of pieces Of
railroad iron were placed near the u
zle Of the guns, and the current Of cleo
tricity turned on. Immediately the
rails flew to the magnet, and were held
as fest as if they had been welded to it's
immense core. Col. King then had one
end of a large chain fastened around the
pieces Of iron to ascertain the amount of
power necessary to pull them away from
the magnet. The otheriend Of the chain
was attached to a capstan, that was held
firmly IN place by long stakes driven into
the ground. u
When everything was in readiness for
the test the capstan bars were manned
by eight stalwart engineers, and they en-
deavored to pull the railroad away from
the magnetized guns.
After straining for some time,the stakes
holding the capstan in place gave way,
and it toppled over. The railroad iron
had not even moved on the face of the
magnet. The dynamometer which had.
been attached to indicate the amount Of
strain the magnet would stand showed
that it had resisted 22,5OO pounds. It
was found impossible to disturb the
pieces Of railroad iron until the cleo
tricity had been shut of.
Some time ago Col. King caused to be
made the one-gun magnet. Thirteen
miles Of half-inch insulated telegraph.
cable was used on making the coil on the
gun. Tests with the magnet showed that
it possessed almost as much power as
the first one, where two guns were used
for the core. a number Of exhibitions
OF the working Of this electro-magnet
were given before members Of the Ameri-
can society for the advancement Of sci
once. One Of the exhibitions attracted
q great deal Of attention, as it best illus
trated the power the magnet possessed.
The test consisted Of four cannon balls
being suspended from the muzzle Of the
gun. The balls weighed on an average
43O pounds each. The first one was

state rangers who captured a portion
Of the Cook gang near Bellevue, Tex,
last month, have left for northwest
Texas, where another portion of the
gang has been located. It is said the
entire gang, 10 strong, and led by Bill
Cook, is now in Texas as a refuge from
the marshal of the Indian Territory.
