F@FYou can bet that there will be
no more skating rinks in Aurora park
As long as 1 have anything to do with
st." said Manager Comiskey last night
at the Windsor. ITS an awful mess
out there. 1 was out all day with
eight men and two teams digging it
put, and we did not miss what we took
out at all when we got through. When
we looked on the dumping ground
across the street we could see the work
we We're doing, but there are acres of
ice still in the park to be removed.
Six feet of ice at one end, and that
right back of second base! A good
thing-I guess not. It will not occur
again. All want to do now is to get
the diamond clear so the boys can get
out to practice. We will let the sun
get to work on the outfield, and 1
guess he will be all right by the time
the season opens. This rain will help
some If it does not freeze tonight"
Amy news?" continued the manager,
IN response to an inquiry. 'Yes, Shu-
gart signed today, and will play here.
He has been holding off, because he
Thought he was built for the big
league. He has been in there, and the
nagnates have concluded he is through
there. Now he wants to come down
here for larger salary than the men
.tyho went up to take his place are get
ting. He will be all right this sum-
mer.
81 leased the West side ball park to-
day for the Sunday games Have not
lbeen able to find a better place, all
things considered, for them, and ac-
.cordingly signed the papers today"
- Walter Wilmot was over last night
Tor the first time since his return from
Galveston. He reports that his grounds
IN Minneapolis are in bad shape also
from the ice, although not as heavily
Eeneered as are Comiskey's.
{, The members Of the team who have
arrived are practicing daily, and the
manager is with them. Wilmot is very
favorably impressed with the work of
young Carney, the practically untried
pitcher whom he picked up. Carney,
who is a younger brother Of Joe Car
ney, the well known pool player
pitched an excellent game for the Min
neapolis club last season, while Barnes
was managing the team, and was start
ed in a second game, but, being batted
freely in one or two innings, was taken
out Of the box under Barnes system
He is warming up this year with the
Minneapolis team, on whose list he is,
and Wilmot, who has batted at his
curves some himself during the last
two days, is impressed with the idea
that Carney is a conner. He is not sure
but that he will prove as great a SEN
sation in base ball circles this year as
was that other native Northwesterner,
Jim Duryea, when Arson picked him
UP here a decade or more ago.
Every one seems to have overlooked
the fact" said Manager Comiskey last
night, that Gen. McAlpin, the presi-
dent Of the National League of Repub-
ican Clubs, is somewhat Of a base
ball man himself, as we'll as his COM
panion, John Goodnow. McAlpin was
president of the brotherhood, when it
was organized five or six years ago,
Rnd looked after its interests as long as
It lasted"
The manager hesitated a moment,
as a reminiscent smile indicated anus
Ing recollecttons, and then continued:
He was on dead card then, and I
guess he is this year, with Morton. 1t
looks to me like a push-oYer for Nc
Kinley."
Which shows that Commy has not
Recovered from the effects Of his Gin
rinnati residence, or else he is imbued
with the Republican atmosphere that
has pervaded the Windsor for the last
Few days.
