fences. However, the batsmen seem to
have Injured themselves to these brutal at
tacks, and they await the onslaught with
commendable fortitude. ball that to
the unintuated spectator looks like carry
ing away large portions of the strikers
anatomy, is nearly always defty and I'M
eXpectedly smitten below the vest and
wiped right out.
Another fea ture of the game, which
lends excitement to the whole undertake
ing, is the wild scramble for bases. When
the runner starts out to cover his ninety
feet his chief anxiety is to land on the
next pad before the ball, which is invara-
bly, heading in the same direction at top
speed, as the boys don't stop to blow on
ii when ii comes in hot. These contending
elements give Vivacity and spirit to the
game, which is never at greater pitch
than when a runner finishes a brilliant
run by plunging forward and finishing
the rush by sliding gracefully in on his
ear or nose.
Then, too the ubiquity of the felders
Is an amazing thing Indeed. the manner
in which the scientific fielder manages
to be here, there and over 'beyant" at
one and the same time IS the most remark
able thing in contemporaneous history.
I was glad to notice the enthusiastic
plaudits which rent the air when a ge-
MUS succeeded in chasing an escaped ball
100 yards or so, falling over 1t twice, fin
ishing the run on his hands and catching
the recalcitrant globe with his feet, or
performance to that effect.
Base ball is a spirited affair; It Is alive
from start to finish, like foot ball; it does
not give one time to grow old; 1t does not
wear on the spectator like lingering i'll
ness, as a cricket is apt to do when two
stonewallers are in. If a man should per-
chance go to sleep he does so at the risk
of his life, and in case of death there is
every prospect of the insurance company
refusing to hand over the money on the
plea OF contributory negligence.
These are my first crude impressions of
the game. Maybe time will play the part
of disillusionizer and rob me of my pres
ent realistic attitude toward the sport.
Later on l expect TO find artistic subtle
ties, fascinating nuances, eXhilarating de-
lights surrounding the game, but that
time win come when the professional
ceases from protesting and the curver
curves no more.

HOSIERY.
NO NATIONAL QUARANTINE.
GOV. BIoXham Writes His Disap-
prevail of the Scheme

pfoNhl Oh inc scheme.
Tallahassee, Fla, Oct 9.-The New
York Herald requested Gov. Bloxham. IL
view Of the existing invasion of yellow
fever, wire his views on the proposition
to establish a national quarantine to su-
persede the present state quarantine, and
to have full control Of all The functions
now discharged by the latter organiza.
ton.
Gov. Bloxham replied as follows. "Since
the establishment of our state board of
health, in 1889, it has had exclusive con.
troll Of our quarantine. The results have
been so satisfactory that public senti-
ment strongly sustains the board in the
exercise Of this important function"
Florida's state board of health has been
operating nearly nine years, and the state
has been free from yellow fever since its
organization. On the other hand, two cpl
denies of Yellow Jack have invaded the
south, both coming in at points where the
national authorities had charge of quar-
antine affairs. The first was at Bruns-
wick, Ca, few years since, and the in
lection from which the present epidemic
originated, is said to have come from Ship
Island. a United States quarantine sta
ton. Contrasting the records of the state
and national quarant ne, as regards eff
cheney, the facts sustain the attitude of
Gov Bloxham in this matter.
Florida has established quarantine sta
tons and erected fum.gatng plants at a
cost of nearly $4,000 and it is thought
that within the next year the receipts
from these viii pay the expenses of the
state board of health and make the state
quarantine system self supporting. After
eXpendng this vast sum Of money, having
quarantine stations thoroughly equipped
ana now almost self-sustaining, the peo-
pie of FLORIDA have too much confidence
in their state board of health to surrender
its quarantine affairs TO the United States,
especially since those in charge of govern
meut quarantine are said to be responsible
for at least two epidemics of yellow fever
in the south within a very few years.

practice shooting at a mark. Some of the
young fellows made a frightfully bad
showing; couldn't even hit the tree upon
which the mark rested. A printer, Ed
Ross, a member Of the family mentioned
was a most dismal failure as a marksman
His mother, quite an elderly woman wear

had shot four or five times and missed the
tree each time his mother said: my boy,
you can't shoot for shucks; give me that

shooters had been located. Planting her
