Captain Ewing of the Cincinnati team doesn't
believe in indoor work for getting PLAYERS in
condition for championship season. He SAYS;
"Handball is all right as flesh reducer but if
man played handball all winter and then
went into regular game of baseball he'd find
himself stiff and sore the next day. Once in
New York we tried to get into trim on roller
skates. We thought the same muscles we used
IN skating were the ones that were brought into
play in baseball, but the first game Knocked
our theory out and we were all limping around
next day like crowd with the govt. There is
only one way in which the value of a ball
player can be determined. 1t is impossible to
get a line on player in practice He may
handle himself all right at that time, but when
II comes down to the real article he may be
found wanting"
The managers of the Harvard and Yale uni
yersity mines have decided this year to prevent
a repetition OF the. squabbles over the arrange
ment OF the annual series of games which have
occurred yearly for several seasons. They
have already arranged their games for 1895.
The list is according to the usual arrange
ments, the first game taking place at Cam
bridge on Harvard's class day, the second at
New Haven on alumni day, and the decisive
game, if one is necessary, at New York the
succeeding Saturday. The dates are: At Cam
bridge, June 90 at New Haven, June IS; at
New York, June %.
In less than month Captain Charles Com
iskey will have his st. Paul pennant-winners
in practice for the 1895 season. Besides the
eight players signed from the Sioux City team
which won the pennant in the Western League
last season, Captain Comiskey has signed two
pitchers and couple of catchers from the Ma
uonal and Eastern leagues, who are lip-tO-date
twirlers and behind the bat players, and he
proposes to put team in the field next spring
that will arouse the old-time St. Paul patri.
otism and love for the game.

THE CITY'S INDEBTEDNESS.
Creditors Ask That Their Demands
Be Paid.
They Request Special Tax Levy for the
Liquidation Of the Municipal
Debt.

The Board of Supervisors. met yesterday
as a committee of the whole for the pur-
pose of hearing the city's creditors, pre-
paratory to adopting some plan by which
the municipal outstanding Indebtedness
can be paid. The present board is especially
interested, because there is an anticipated
$4,000 or thereabouts.
The merchants, who are creditors of the
city to the extent of $3.50, 900 for goods sup
piled, have notified the Supervisors that
unless some steps are taken to guarantee
the liquidation of past and prospective liza
bility on the part of the city, the merchants
will furnish no more supplies for the run
ming of public institutions.
The meeting yesterday was called at the
request of the associated creditors, and the
chambers of the board were packed to the
doors with prominent business men 70
whom the city is indebted.
Chairman Hughes asked if any of the 100
or more merchants had anything to say.
J. J. LIE Count responded, expressing the
thanks of the associated creditors for the
prompt action of the board in responding
to their appeal.

indebted to the merchants for supplies, to
mechanics for work and to contractors for

"the very records of this board are being

The committee rose and reported to the
board that the committee had heard the
creditors of the city and county, who in
presenting their claims had requested that
the board include sufficient sum in the
next levy for the year 1886 to pay off the
outstanding liabilities incurred prior to
that time; also that the committee had

COURsING.
C0URSING.
Opening Of Ocean View Racing Park Under
Clean MANAGEMENT

The reopening meeting, which takes place
to-day at Ocean View Park, will, it is almost
certain, be one of the best coursing events that
have occurred for some time in this demesne.
The Casserly Bros have made such all i'm
provement in the grounds and the surround
ings, that few of the old visitors to the park will
recognize the old spot Nearly all the hest
dogs of this part of the State are entered, and
some great racing is sure to be witnessed If
Curtis Ruby and Cronin's Best Trump they
are both in the stakel should meet, this
course alone should draw crowd of the lovers
of the leash. Jack Dempsy and Daisy Crest

Golden Gate Park will be opened on SUNDAY.
the 18th inst, with an alleged stake at SIS
each dog. The proprietors of the two hotels
near the park gate have added $40 to the
stake. This park is beautifully situated and
the running grounds are all that could be de-
sired. Nominations for the stake will be made
on Friday evening next.
We have seen this week vol. XIII of the
English Greyhound Studbook, issued under the
direction OF the National Coursing Club. The
book is beautifully embellished with several
portraits OF leading, coursers, the frontispiece
being q likeness OF Joshua East of Longstock
Hall, one of the Oldest patrons of the leash in
the United Kingdom.
The registration for 1894 reaches the large
total OF 4374 dogs, as against 1914 of the pre-
y
information, contains tabulated lists of sires
and the bitches that have whelped to them
during the first six months of the year. There
were no fewer than 633 filters registered dur
ing that time.
The book also contains tabulated pedigrees of
winners during the coursing season OF 1S93-94.
A glance over this volume gives one some idea
of the coursing interest in the British Isles.
The price of the book in England is five shill-
ings.

so severely injured just before the MERGED meet

completely lost, has recovered his sight and

and those who did charge the storm wished,
upon their return, that they had remained
within doors, as the birds kept together, and
positively refused to vacate the heavy under
brush, which place of safety they held until q
few weeks ago, when the dark covering of the
sky faded away, and bright light shone with
all its splendor and warmth upon hill and
dale.
The wearer of long boots Jared no better than
his brother who fancied hill-climb bling, because
the game the former took pleasure in bagging
had taken a hasty departure from the salt
marshes to the ponds and sloughS in the vlcln-
ity of the grain fields, where it found that life
undisturbed by the constant crack of 10 and
II bore guns was a pleasure worth enjoying.
The birds have not returned in numbers worth
mentioning since the storm ended, and as there
remains only q few weeks of the open season,
it can hardly be expected that any favorable
reports will come to hand with the present
month from any of the noted duck-shooting
grounds near this city.
+ The spoonbill is the only member of the
broadbill family who did not turn tail upon
the salt marshes and the shallow ponds in
which in former winters 1t enjoyed so many
hours of spooney pleasure. These birds have
been very prolific this year and in some places,
where shallow ponds are numerous, they have
afforded the non-particular sportsman right
good sport. Down about Mount Eden large
bags of "spoonies" have been scored for several
weeks past; and it is recorded that on the
Sunday of the heavy north wind, something
like four weeks ago, two hunters who had
secreted themselves under good pass bagged
295 spoonbills in five hours shooting.
Those who returned with good bags from
Mount Eden last Sunday were, McRea so birds I;
NJ Nolan IA birds; J. Eckstrom, is birds; A.
Hermann, 13 BIRDS NJ Dooley, 18 birds; M.
Mcdonald, 10 birds and Billy Johnson, 10

1t is said that an old man named Nicholson
has made life miserable for some of the hunters
who have been bagging ducks on Johnson's
ponds, which adjoin Miehelson's property.

BURIED AS AN UNKNOWN.
But His Identification Papers Were in
the Receiving Hospital.

Another body of an unknown that was
buried in the potter's field has been identi-
fed. On the 25th ultimo a man was found
in dying condition on the street and
removed to the Receiving Hospital. After
death the body was removed to the
Morgue, but no one was able to identity
the remains.
When the body of William Holland was
turned over to the Morgue by the City
Receiving Hospital officials yesterday his
effects were also given to the deputy. At
the same time some papers, knife, pipe,
ETC., belonging to the remains of the man
who died last month were also forthcom-
ing. BY the papers it was learned that the
deceased had been sailor on the steam
whaler Gayhead and that he came here
from New Bedford. His name was George
Mosher, and he was paid his wages by
Bruce, Bovine & Co. last year and granted
discharge. The deceased was IS years OF
age, and was waiting an opportunity to
ship on a whaler for a cruise to the Arctic.

Byrne is comparatively new man, but dur

form that his admirers in the Imperial Club,
OF which he is also member, feel that he can
show even Rose a trick or two at the game.
