DIAMOND DUST.

The Pittsburg club is said to have an
eye on Catcher Dixon, of the Providence
club.
Syracuse Is the latest city to contract
the vaudeville disease in base ball. Fitz-
simmons sells his appearance to Kuntszh

The Scranton and Wilkes-Barre papers
are devoting most of their attention now
to denying rumors to the effect that the
two Pennsylvania teams will not stay In
the league next year. Some of them are
growing hysteEcal over it.-Springfield
Republican.
The Buffalo Express answers an eager
crank's question as to how the National
league is superior to the Eastern as fol-
lows: IF the Eastern league had as
many good pitchers and catchers and
as many good outfielders, and as many
good intielders, and as many good bats
men, and as many good base runners,
and as many good captains, and as much
good team work it would be just as good
as the National league. AS 1T is inferior
to the National league in all respects
mentioned, it follows that it is inferior
to that league as whole" How comes
it, then, that the National league so fire.
quently has to tonic up" by drafting
Eastern league players?
Snyder, of Toronto, will go into the big
league this fall. Brooklyn, New York
and Pittsburg want him. Dineen is also
quite likely to go, Snyder was picked
up by Irwin from the Canadian league.
Providence is playing O'Brien, secured
from Washington, on second, Weigand
going to third, his old position, and Bas-
sett to first, where he certainly fits bet
ter. Drauby is released.
Marty Hogan, who is now playing with
the Dayton Interstate league team, in
tends to quit the diamond after the close
of the season. He will go into business
at Youngstown.
Bad Bill Eagan, the toughest player in
the Eastern league and the best second
baseman at the same time, has been sold
to Brooklyn.-Buffalo Enquirer. There's
no doubt that Eagan is the toughest Sec
ond baseman in the Eastern league; but
as for his being the best, there's a man
named Bonner on the Scranton pay roll
whose all-round play at second this year
hasn't been surpassed on any ball field
I'm the country. Bonner can give Eagan
pointers and still beat him out on GO
after-everything, gingery work.

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 5.-Buffalo and
Springfield played amateur ball of the
worst kind today. Two-baggers, home
runs and errors figured in every inning.
Souders was knocked out of the box in
the first and was relieved by Brown,
who was pounded hard all through the
game. Buffalo jumped on Dolan in the
third for eleven runs, but he remained in
the box and finished in good style. The
tenth inning was started but it became
too dark and the game was called. Score:

Geographically. the Sioux Falls Press
thus speaks of him: Judge Wilkes was
born at Fremont. o., and Is 81 years of
age- His ancestry was English and his
grand uncle was the celebrated English
reforner John Wilkes. Judge Wilkes
was educated in OHIO and was admitted
80 the bar in Wisconsin in 1870. In 1878
he took up his residence in Sioux
Falls, where he has since resided and
practiced his profession. He first entered
peaitioal life four years ago when be was
:be candidate of the populist party for
the circuit judgeship and was defeated,
after a hard contest, by Judge Jones.
Last fall he received the united support
Of the free silver forces for the county
iudgeehip Of MiLnehaha county and was
elected, defeating Judge Parllman, one
party and who had before last fall been
considered as invincible in a political
contest in this county. Yesterday Judge
Wilkes was again honored by the popu-
llst nomination for the circuit Judge
ship and, in addition received the nomi-
nation of the democratic party.
