team, and the prospects are that, in
spite Of the heavy drafts made on the
team of 1895 by the big league, the
the good place won last year, and
like it a credit to the city.
Minneapolis is still moving along in
Mr.. Goodnow's political groove, while
the rest of the world is having more
fun with the Minneapolis wood man
than small boy with two hands can
get out of a snare drum. The Mil
waukee Journal says:
Notwithstanding that the man has
settled one squabble between st. Paul and
Minneapolis. the same old wrangle as TO SUI
premacy exists. Failing to establish pre-
eminence in manufactures and in population,
st. Paul attacks the city by st. Anthony's
falls on the ground that it is owned body
and breeches" by the National league team of
Chicago-A G. Spalding, Jim Hart ct al.
There is a plausible ground for this allega-
quart cup with which, for sectional reasons,
the st. Paul Dispatch would dish it out.
True enough, President Goodnow, who has re-
Gently been recognized at Western league
form, has, by the gracious permission of Mr..
Hart, obtained Mr.. Wilmot manager Par
rott., one Of the best players in his position
in the National league. also Hutchinson. one
of Chicago's star pitchers. ST. Paul is in
error, however, when the claim is set up that
Goodnow has also signed Catcher Schriver.
Schriver has not belonged in Chicago for two
years. He was sold to New York. There he
was released and joined the Scranton, Pa,
team without the reserve rule. President Kill
Iilea, of the Milwaukee team, ascertained this
fact and put in the first claim for him. AS
a result he belonged to Milwaukee. At the
recent meeting of the Western league, held
in this city, Manning, of Kansas City and
Mr.. Killilea arrived at some agreement by
which the latter surrendered all rights to
the player and as result Schriver will play
in the Kaw town during the coming season
unless Manning chooses otherwise.
Thus, while it is well-known that Goodnow
is but
A MARKET GARDENER
for the Chicago team, and Minneapolis will
would be judicious not to permit sectional
strife to enter into the controversy. In other
words, Give the devil his DUE
Every one seems to enjoy taking a
fall out of the Minneapolis man. The
Kansas City World says:
Mr.. Goodnow should be well satisfied
He is the whole thing, and knows
more about base ball than any other
man in the league-so he claims-even
though he was thrun down in re-
gard to Omaha"
Even his political friends are engag-
ing in the conflict The Princeton I'm
ion, State Auditor Dunn's paper, re-
earnest way as follows:
John Goodnow ran up against a
stacked deck at meeting of the West
ern league, and feels sore He knows
now how the opposing politicians felt
when they tried to play against some
Of his put up hands,"
AS to the market gardening idea,
Manager Coniskey is not above suspi-
cion, at least, in Cincinnati. Says the
Tmes-Star:
1T Is believed in Columbus that Com
iskey and LOTUS are joint owners in
the Columbus franchise. Commy GER
tainly Is taking great interest in the
Franklin county aggregation"
The Minneapolis team will report for
duty on April 1, eighteen to twenty
men showing UP for work at that time.
The men so far actually signed are
Blackburn, Healy, flaming, Fraser,
Schriver, Childs the Arizona man, and
Harry Howe, Of Mankato; Lemm, Win
gate, Moran, Werden, Healy, Ball,
Kuehne, Lally, Strauss, Thompson and
Wilrnot AS the league allows only
fourteen, perhaps the other four will
be assigned to duty in close precincts
during the Republican primaries.
THE DEACON SPEAKS UP.
Deacon Ellis, of Grand Rapids, hav-
ing returned to that place to finish the
coming season, has met the criticisms
visited upon his management with a
proposition that is pointed if not prac-
teal. He gave the people Of the place
who did not like his style to put up the
coin and take the club, leases, etc. off
his hands, he agreeing to throw in the
franchise free So far as can be learn
ed he has not been followed through
the streets by any bowling mob of
eager money changers, and the infer
ence is that Mr.. Ellis will continue to
manage the team for another year.
There is some talk of Capt. Larry
Twitchell not playing first base with
Milwaukee next year. Stafford, who
came up from New Orleans, is booked
for the initial base.
Toledo is making bowls about being
dropped from the Western league, and
an effort is being made to console the
community by getting the Maumee
city a berth in some slower company
where it can be seen after the flag
drops. j. W.. Gunnels is the prime
mover in the enterprise, and Bobby
Gilks is reported to be giving him his
support, probably moral. Conner is
also in the Toledo push.
But yesterday the word of Caesar
might have stood against the world
now lies he there and none so poor to dc
him reverence. The Evening Wiscon-
sin says:
1.-THE failure of Capt Adrian Arson
as an actor has caused somebody to
suggest that the Hoyt play in which
the uncle of the national game made
his debut should have been called '"Too
Much Anson." In Chicago the alleged
play drew a small house; in Milwaukee
the house was smaller still and up in
Minnesota Uncle Arson struck such a
frost as nobody has encountered there
abouts since one D. B. Hill went back
to the East with a bad cold. This is
gratifying to everybody except Arson
and his financial hackers, for he cannot
act any more than Corbett or Sullivan
can and his appearance on the stage
was without excuse"
