Football In Africa.

Englishmen are proverbial for taking
their games with them into whatever
part Of the world they go. Golf, as we
know, is played in the shadow Of the
pyramids and in the very heart Of the
Himalayas, but football in the middle
of darkest Africa is something OF an in
novation. Yet football is rapidly be-
coming popular on the shores OF Lake
Nyassa, and at Kotakota, which a few
years age was notorious as the greatest
depot for slaves On the western shore OF
the lake, mixed teams Of black and
white meet every Saturday with as
much regularity as do our home teams,
though the local chronicler omits to say
whether Rugby or Association has wor
the suffrages of the Nyassa teams. One
startling feature of the game is that thu
black players decline to hamper them
selves with boots and find apparently
no Inconvenience in playing with bare
feet .-London Cor. Manchester Guard

Cockerin Killed Colonel slaybac'{ Dur
ing n Bitter Political Contest.
ST. LOUIS, April IL. -Colonel John
A. Cockerill came to this city in 1879
from Baltimore and became managing
editor of The Post Dispatch which posi-.
tion he held until 1883. In the latter
year Joseph Pulitzer assumed control
of the New York World and made
Colonel Cockerill it managing editor.
In 1882 the contest for congressional
honors in the Ninth Missouri district
between John NJ. Glover and James
Brodhead was fought. 1t became very
acrimonious as the campaign proceeded
and many sharp things were written
and said on each side by the opponents
and their friends. The Post Dispatch
supported John NJ. Glover and its
editorials
Made 1t Hot For His Opponent.
Colonel A. w. Slayback, Brodhead's
partner, replied in person to the stric-
lures of The Post Dispatch. This led
to a bitter fight between him and the
editor of that paper. Finally, on the
evening of Oct. IL, 1882, accompanied
by w. H. Clopton, now United States
district attorney here, Colonel Stay.
back called on Colonel Cockerill at his
office. They had but a few minutes
conversation, when Cockerill drew a
revolver from his desk and shot Stay
back through the heart, killing him in
stantly. He claimed that he did sc in
self defense, as Slayback had drawn his
revolver with the intention of shooting
him. The case never came to trial.

does not see anything in the condition

BASEBALL CONFERENCE.
and odn M~agnafes
Discuss the Situation.

There was a conference of the man.
ayers of the Western League clubs
at Chicago yesterday. A dispatch
says that those present were Presi-
dent Johnson, Killilea and Mack, of Mil
waukee; Vanderbeck, of Detroit; Manning
of Kansas City, and Lotus, of Columbus.
indianapolis and Minneapolis were not
represented, and it is supposed the confer
ence was held to take steps to defeat the
purpose of these two clubs to effect a re-
organization of the league. John t.. Brush
could not be seen last night. He had gone
out for the evening and had not returned
at an early hour this morning. Manager
Watkins is still In Michigan.
The Associated Press report says: The
Western Baseball League held a
secret meeting at the Victoria Hotel to-day.
Charles Comiskey, manager OF the ST. Paul
club, said when asked in regard to the pro-
ceedings OF the meeting: I'VE did nothing
of any Importance. We heard the report
from the delegates who were sent to the
New York meeting, and anything of i'm
portance will, of course. come up at the
meeting to be held Nov. H."
indianapolis and Minneapolis were not
represented, and this caused comment by
those interested in the baseball situation.
The representatives of the clubs present
said IL meant nothing, but the inference is
that another outbreak is feared, and that
the remaining clubs of the league are pre-
pairing to strengthen their position as much
as possible.
