The Regulars and Ponies of the
Browns Contest.
Light Batting Due to a Heavy
Wind.
MOST HITS FOR COOLEY.
Very Close Game, With Score
of 8 to 4.
Other Sporting News Of a Gen
eral Nature.

St Louis. April 15.-The regulars and
ponies of the St. Louis team played at
East St. Louis yesterday. The regu-
lars. smarting from their defeat Of
the day before, managed to win, but it
took them seventeen innings in which
to pull out a victory. The game was
nip and tuck from the beginning to the
last inning. The batting was light on
both sides. due, however. to a very
heavy wind, which blew directly across
the field, and many a hard hit ball
which otherwise would have been safe
was turned into an out or blown on
foul territory.
The fielding was good, many plays
bounding on the sensational order.
Keck made a good catch off CooIey's
bat in the third inning, and by di-
rect throw to Douglas caught speedy
Martin Hogan at the pIssre. Quinn
made several good stops at second, as
did Breftenstein at the same cushion
for his side Sheehan, Dowd and
Cooley made some phenomenal run
ming catches
Several of Sheehan's catches were
very difficult, but he handled them all
neatly. DOnohue made great one
hand eaten OF cross. punt ny IN the
closing inning, and by a good throw
caught Conner at second
The best exhibition of the day, how
ever, was put UP by Bert Meyers. who
repeated his great work of Sunday.
Several of his stops We're wonderful,
and his throwing TO first was swift and
accurate. In the sixteenth inning, with
the bases full and two men out, Quinn
sent a terrific grounder down the third
base line. 1t didn't look possible for
Meyers to reach it. By a great effort
he knocked the ball down. and, quickly
recovering it, threw Quinn out at first.
Latham's playing was again weak. Ar
lie promises to play faster ball when
the season opens, and it is to be hoped
he will.
Hart, Parrot and Wood occupied the
box for the regulars. Hart and Par
rott each pitched two innings, and
Wood finished out the game. He show
ed good command and did very well.
Kfssinger and Donohue OBLIGATED in the
box for the ponies, and both were eft
fective
The score was to for the regulars.

Wichita. April 15.-Special trains are

ors to come to Wichita to hear Senator
BENJAMIN r. Humans speech The
following letter has been received from
Senator TIlman;
"Gentlemen:-Your Invitations to
speak at wichita have just reached me
and owing to the delay in sending them
1T is only by continuous travel and eX-
ira exertion that can accept. 4 had
made previous engagement to speak
at Warrensburg, Mo. on Saturday, the
18th, so the only chance to reach you
and not disappoint them is to leave
Denver several hours earlier than in
tended and make use of both nights
to reach YOU. then to go TO Warrens-
burg in time. In order to not disap-
point your people i viii undertake this
and viii only be prevented should the

There has been some controversy as
to where Senator Tillman should speak
here Friday. AS the time at which he
win arrive is not dennItely known it
has been hard to fix an hour for the
meeting The supposition is that he
will arrive at 1850 in the morning via
the Missouri Pacific.

day and the manager has offered to
throw the circus tent open at 4 o'clock
for Senator Tnlman's speech. 1t viii

RIVAL CYCLE TEAMS.
The World and Journal of New York
to Compete.

New York, April 15.-The competi-
ton for supremacy now waginS in
New York between the Journal and
the World bids fair to take a novel
form. says the American Wheelman.
Mr.. Hearst, the owner of the Jour
nal, is said to be willing TO spend $50,
00c on the scheme, which Is nothing
less than engaging a racing team com
posed of ten of the fastest men in the
country, and send them over the cir
cult in q special car prOfusely decor
ated with excerpts from the bicycle
concerning the revived Journal. It is
limited that Bald may lead this aggre-
cation. and that the matter is under
serious Amusement can be cleaned
from the fact that Overtures have been
made to two trainers and managers
already. and their advice asked as to
the selection of the team. Hearst is
we'll able to crafty this whim if he
feels so disposed, and as it is the big
gest thing ever attempted in cycle
racing it is not improbable that the
scheme viii be carried through. Hearst
is said to have put up q guarantee
for $4,000, While tire company will
put $4,000 in the pot. and a wheel com
pany $40, OO0 making total of $50 600.
q pretty neat little sum for one sea-
sons racing
Now comes the interesting part: A
young man who has figured as a man
ager, trainer and various other things,
heard about this and went to a rival
paper, presumably the World. and this
paper is now considering q like ar
TanRement, and Zimmerman is said to
have been approached about the mat
ter As the Journal and the World are
lighting it out now, repOrtOrially
speaking. they may meet in conflict on
the racing path this year by their re-
spective racing teams.

CHICAGO MARKET LETTER.
Furnished by Topeka Grain and Stock
Exchange, 526 Kansas Avenue.

Exchange, 526 Kansas Avenue.
WHEAT-Cables came dull and a
fraction lower this morning and north
western receipts larger than expected
which caused a disposition to sell on
the slight advance at opening.
Armour was out with bullish state
ment, however, and Influenced few
of the unsophisticated into buying
moderate lines which stopped a declin-
ing market.
Seaboards clearances were light and
virtually no inquiry from exporters.
We have had ArmOur's bull talk be
fore and know that it is generally a
copper" The fact remains that Eu-
rope will not aid US to bull wheat and
that our weather is all that could be
desired.
Compared with corn, oats. potatoes
and meats, wheat stands up like a
church spire and ought to be selling
for about SOC
We look for a gradually declining
market with hard spots to sell on all
the way down and believe that sales
on quick bulges will return handsome
profits.
Corn and oats steady on short cover
ing and light receipts. There is no
change in the situation. The crowd is
short of these two cereals clear up to
the neck and light receipts and no dis
position of holders to loosen up makes
them nervous. We believe there will
be heavy covering soon unless receipts
increase materially.
Provisions quiet and featureless
Cudahy was reported as a heavy seller
of pork but prices did not suffer any
loss.

Nc York stock &c.

New York, April 15-Sentiment among
the brokers at the uptown resorts this
afternoon is conservatively bullish and
the opinion prevails that the tendency
of the market is towards a higher level.
Everything points to a gradual i'm
prOvement both at home and abroad
and the next couple Of weeks viii prob
ably see advances in all the better
classes of securities. There is a strong
disposition on the part of prominent
operators to begin active operations
and as soon as certain obstacles are
removed from the field a bull move
ment of large proportions is sure to
follow.
This, at least, is the opinion that ex-
lists in influential quarters.
Sentiment on sugar is very bullish
and it is doubtful if the affairs of the
sugar trust We're ever in as good shape
as at present
Tobacco sold ex-dividend today. This
stock is completely at the mercy Of
manipulators and an outsider assumes
great risk when he ventures into the
game.
Chicago gas is up around the 10
mark for the first time in many months
and its friends are so happy over the
fact that they are now talking of put
ting it 10 points higher. Atchison pre-
ferred is spoken of very favorably and
the character of buying suggests an
early active movement in the stock.
The disposition is to proceed slowly
and cautiously but there is no mistak-
ing the sentiment that exists in regard
to ultimately higher prices and
broader market all around.

KICK FROM MINNEAPOLIs.
Declares That the League Season
Opens too Early.

Minneapolis, April 15-If ever the
western league made a mistake it
did when it decided to have long
schedule this year and assign each
club 14O games
There is nothing like giving the clubs
reasonable length of time in which to
get into condition, and they cannot do
it in this section when the first game is
scheduled for April p. 1t is also an
insane proposition to say that the clubs
did this year. 1t would have been far
better to have had the Minneapolis
players remain where they were for
at least two weeks longer than they
did, for they cannot do much here with
snow storms coming every day or two.
