WESTERN BASE BALL GOSSIP.
RcpOrted Proposed Transfer of the

Reported Proposed Transfer of the
CIcvelnnds to St. Louis.
The Pittsburg base ball romancers have
sent out another story. 1t reads:
1t is creditably announced here tonight
that big base ball deal is about completed.
President Robson OF the Cleveland club has
about fixed up deal which Brush of Gin
cinnati is said to be in, to buy out Won der
Ahe's ST. Louis outfit, franchise, bag and
baggage. Then, according to the story,
Robson will disband the Browns, to re-
place them with the Cleveland club. Cleve-
land, owing to it's being poor base ball
town, is to be frozen out of the league, and
its place taken by Detroit, which is a much
better ball town, and row has good club in
the Western League.
Frank Robson John Brush and other
league magnates have considered this plan
a long time. Robson is now in the east nix
ing up the deal. He passed through here
last night on his way east and made that
$4,000 offer for Hawley. Robson stated
publicly some time ago that unless his team
received better support i'll Cleveland he
would take il to some other town.
1t is stated that Robson asked Won del
Abe his price, which was named, and ac-
cepted, provided the other league magnates
agreed to the changes involved. 1t will re.

for the trip. He will take the array of

either Eustace or Shannon. AS for third
base, the club has not altogether abandoned
the idea of getting Collins; in fact, the
club officials are working harder than ever
to get him. Louisville has not been idle,
and although it probably has as many play
ers on the pay roll as any in the league,
all but seven have affixed their names to
contracts. They are Inks, Frazier, Cum

PREPARING FOR PRIMARIES.
Supervisors Considering the Final
Arrangements of the Election.

Supervisors Considering the Final
Arrangements of the Election.
The board of supervisors having charge
of the approaching primary election for
delegates to the St. Louis republican con-
vention met on the fourth floor of the
Glover building yesterday evening. owing
to the office of Mr.. NJ. NJ. Parker, its chair
man, being too small to accommodate the
crowd that was present. The committee
which was appointed some time ago for the
purpose of ascertairing the expense of the
election and making arrangements regard
ing the various polling places in the sew
eral precincts reported that the cost c. the
election woulo be under $500. A number of
locations were recommended as voting
places, to some of which Col. Perry Carson
objected on account of their questionable
character, and action upon their final Sc
lection was postponed until this evening.
After the discussion which followed the
reception of the report was concluded the
board went into executive session, and de-
cided that each candidate must provide his
own tickets as ballots, to be printed on
white paper, six by three inches in size.
1t was determined to have three polling
places in the first and second districts, re-
Spectively, and one in each of the remain
ing twenty districts The hours of voting
We're changed, and balloting will now be
held from = o'clock TO D o'clock pm. Dur
ing the meeting Mr.. L. NJ. Saunders sug-
gested that the supervisors request the
District Commissioners to assign two po-
licemen to each polling place during the
hours of balloting on election day. At a
meeting to be held this afternoon the board
will finally select the various polling places
and the officers of election, and settle all
the other preliminaries that remain to be
arranged.

SOUTHERN INVASION
Crack Athletes Expected to Visit
New York.
SOME CANDIDATES FOR THE TEAM
The Latest Story Regarding Base
Ball Deals.
8 CANDIDATES FOR TEE TEAM
GENERAL SPORTING NOTES

An invasion of southern athletes is prom
ised for the coming season. few days
ago word was received in New York city
from Victor II. Demornelle of the Young
Mems Gymnastic Club of New Orleans, La,
to the effect that team of that clubs
athletes had begun to train with the inten-
ton of visiting New York. The team will
arrive about the LIST of April, and take part
in all the prominent open sets of games
until about July 1. The men will train
either at the Berkeley Oval or Manhattan
Field under the strict supervision Of Spar
row. Robertson, and VIII undergo a thor
ough and careful preparation.
Several candidates are on edge for a
place on the team, but four of the pro-
posed invading combination have been mu-
tually agreed on. Their names are Jules
Jordy, Mike Verdello, Victor H. De-
mornelle and E. Mtltenberger. Demornelle
and Jordy are both sprinters and ex-cham-
pionS of the Southern Association of the
Amateur Athletic Union. Each is said to
hold a 10 10 seconds record for the 100
yards on a poor track. Nerdello is the dis
lance runner of the team. His record is
not much better than 4 minutes 40 seconds,
but there is plenty of material Ill him for
improvement.
The most likely candidate among the
southerners is Z. Miltenberger, who is an
all-around athlete. He is ~ years of age,
stands q feet l inch high, and is built with
the classic uniformity of Hercules. When
in condition he weighs 215 pounds, and has
frequently upset all theory in athletic cal
culation by carrying without much SEEM
ing effort this mass of weight and avoirdu-
pos distance of 10 feet 11a inches in a
standing broad jump, and feet l inch in
standing high jump. Besides being first
rate oarsman, he is without a peer as a
weight thrower in the Southern Associa-
ton, and the records for that division of
the Amateur Athletic Union are at his
mercy any day he comes to try.
These records, of course, when compared
| with those of the foremost New Workers, APP
pear not to very great advantage, but when
the style of implement used is taken into
consideration the disparity is not so great.
His best record for the 16-Dound hammer
is lis feet inches; 1e-pound shot. 50 feet
10 inches, and 56-pound weight, "A feet
| inches.
