THE ONLY WOODEN-LEGGED NINE:

in more senses than one. 1t has, in
short, band of willow wlelders who are
remarkable from the fact that there is
not single man. in the club but that
has an artificial leg. There have been
fat mems clubs and lean mems clubs
formed before, but who ever heard of a
club to which eligibility for membership
was determinable upon the fact that the
applicant has wooden leg? 1t is
unique fact, but nevertheless true, that
there is such an aggregation in this
city, of which John Mcclure
is manager. The team has been
organized for number of weeks,
and has already played a
number of games. By next season it
will be in shape to meet all corners.
What will strike the average reader at
once is the query: How can they make
home runs? There is one possible adj
vantage, perhaps, that wooden-legged
short stop would have over the common.
everyday sort of a short stop with "real
meat legs" II he missed ball and
allowed 1t to pass his palms, he could.
by dextrous movement of his "hand-
made leg" stop the ball in Its mad
career without hurting him any. There
is another possibility. in this connection
which ought not to be overlooked. Sup
pose the nine went out for practice
game and forgot to bring their bats.
That would make but little difference.
Almost any member of the club could
take off his leg and politely pass it to
the man at the bat, in lieu Of the regu-
latiOn willow.
The GLOBE presents its readers today
with a picture of this team, the person.
mel Of which is as follows: Messrs.
Thompson, Heany. B. Devlin. Corners,
Pierce. Warren, Chapman, j. Devlin,
Dunn (captain), Atchison and Towse.
The manager. Mr.. Mcclure. is the only
one IN the combination who has two
full natural legs. Counting from the
left to the right, the fifth man in the
picture - Pierce. with the bat-pos-
sesses the distinction of having two
artificial limbs. IL is safe to assume
that when these wooden-legged men
announce public game they will not
be short OIL gate receipts.
Ii Mr.. Mcclure could introduce
catcher with artificial arms, another
novelty would be added to the combina-
ton.

The Millers won an interesting game
of base ball yesterday afternoon from
the HoosierS at Minneapolis Athletic
park. 1t was one of the prettiest con-
tests of the season, and the spectators
became very enthusiastic 10 the ninth
inning, when the visitors were retired
with two men on bases. The fielding
OF both teams was brilliant, and two
pretty double plays were recorded,
Fraser pitched fine game and kept the
visitors hits we'll scattered. Phillips
was quite effective, but Barnes men
had luck enough to find the globe at
Opportune times. The fielding of Crooks,
Gray and Roat, and the batting of Wer-
den and Gray were the features. The

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. AT the Pas
time Athletic club game here this after
noon, the event Of the day was the half
mile bicycle race for ladies'. AS this
was the first time that ladies wearing
bloomers have ever appeared on any
bicycle track in this country, there was
much curiosity as to how the contest
tants, who are all daughters of prominent
citizens, would be received. When they
came upon the track they were heartily
applauded. Miss Field was the first one
to come out Of the dressing room. She
had on pair of short loose pants and a
blouse shirt, while the others wore
boomers and knee skirts. The Misses
Field and Walden were scratch and the
Misses Vail and Spelbrink each had
fifty yards handicap. Miss Walden won
by ten lengths from Miss Field, who
took second place by length from Miss
Vail. Time, LES. Miss Waldou later
made record for the mile paced by E.
E. Anderson and Tom C0burn. The
time was 2:5S.
