Colorado town. There is a better place to
put Dave in than in the insurance business.
Jimmy Manning holds the long distance
jumping record Of this world and the next.
He took his whole team the other day and
made a jump of 700 miles from Kansas City
to Detroit. La
Archie Cole is playing with the Burling-
ton team. Archie was second in the hitting
average on the Denver team. Rowe was
first, having hit the team for about 'steen
hundred dollars, says the Rockford Register
Gazette.
Martin McQuade, the old counterfeit who
was tried by Cincinnati last season, quit the
game at Hazelton, Pa, the other day because
the manager fined him $40. Mart says when
1t comes to taking a whole months salary
at a COB, it is about time to look for a job
in the brick yard.
AS the end of the base ball season draws
near the wrangle about which teams shall
play for the Temple cup becomes more bitter
and exciting, but will be promptly settled no
| doubt when Mr.. Temple gets back from his
moose hunt up in Maine. The consensus of
opinion is that he will designate the winners
of first and second place as the contestants,
and this means that the New Yorks will not
be in it.
There is no question but what at the COM
ing National league meeting the double UNI
pire system will be extensively discussed
and according to my way of thinking will
be adopted. The only drawback to the
double header is the fact that this season
Uncle Nick Young has been thoroughly I'M
able to dig up even six competent men. In
view Of this fact what will he do when he
goes out with his little shovel to exhume
twice this number? The argument will be
that II six good men cannot be found, where
is the dozen to come from. Still it will
surely be two Umpires per game in the
league in 1896.
Comiskey will take his st. Paul team to
California Immediately after the close of the
Western league season, and will locate at
Oakland. Jimmy Manning will also take a
band of players to the coast. John S. Barnes,
who was manager of the Minneapolis team
early in the season, has secured leases on all
of the principal parks in Los Angeles and
Oakland, as we'll as Central park, San Fran
cisco. so that he will virtually have a mo-
nopoly in that way. Both Manning and
Comiskey expects to make money there this
winter.-Chicago Times-Herald.

in at the doors during the week.
Manager Kirk's String of Athletes.
Manager Homer O'Rourke Kirke has made
all his arrangements for a big fstic and
athletic entertainment to be given at Wash
ington hall, Tuesday evening. September II.
