Special Correspondence of the Globe.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-The gold
fields of Klondike thus far have not
tempted any National league ball play
er to desert his profession. These base
ball stars love gold just as much as
the ordinary run of humanity. but thew
nave a small Kiondike among them
selves year by year, n they get their
sold with none of the great hardships
which the Alaska fortune seeker must
encounter. Just imagine one of these
S4Oo per month, Pullman car travelling

such a graft" for the uncertainties
of Klondike!
speaking of ball players at hotels IS
d reminder that there is one expert
Hlent winch ha not yet been tried bv
any manager, and when it is applied
there is sure to be interesting results
1t is an u~ndeniable fact that half the
ball players while 'on the road, "a +
their breakfast at the hotels from half
past y TIL 10 O'Clock. At that late
hour they are naturally hungry and
spare not the viands named on the
menu card. In most of the cities thew
must start for the grounds at half past
z, which makes it necessary for them
to be in the dining room for lunch NOT
later thai half past 1. In reality. most
OF them are in line when the dining
room doors open. Therefore, about
three or three mo a half hours is the
time between these two matutinal
meals which precede the game. This ir-
regularity must surely affect the stom-
ach. The stomach is the regulator of
vision. No mar has a correct vision
whose stomach is not in good condi-
ton. So it is evident that this suueez-
ing together with two meals each day
before a game affects the eyes of the
player, and. as his eyes are half his
stock in trade, it affects his playing
adversely. 1t is one great reason why
teams on the road play less success
fully than they do at home.
Ball playing is largely an athletes
work. The ssa must train and get
into form. Why not make him stay
in form? Think of a prize fighter eat
ing breakfast at 10 o'clock, a lunch at
1 and then going into the ring to meet
his opponent! 1 mentioned this irregu-
larity of players in getting up to break
fast to a manager of a certain league
club lately. His reply was: They are
called at 8 o'clock" There lies the

beer glasses were thrown, because no
liquor was sold in the stands. But the
National league of the eighties and
the National league of the nineties are
OF different characters, and in the iE-
stance time has not bettered condi-
lions.
The home stretch of the great pen-
nant race has been reached, and the
finish promises to be the most inter-
est1ng in years, because there are four
clubs in h final sprint. 1t must not
be forgotten that with these four
teams there is little preference be-
tween first and second places-that is.
the great desire exists to get into he
Temple cup series, while the clubs
themselves believe there is more in
1t" for the following season to finish
second than first. Once champion the
lu is expected to stay champion. In
second place gives the club mighty
prestige for next seasons fight.
At this time it looks as if Cincin-
natl had no chance to end one, two,
because it's team finishes the season
away from home, while the other three
leaders work is confined almost en-
tirely to their own grounds. So it
would be a three cornered struggle
among the Bostons, Baltimore and
New Yorks. Two of them will be
happy on Oct. 2. The third viii be
the most bitterly disappointed of the
twelve. 1t will be a case of so near
and yet so far" with h rich Temple
cup prize just beyond it's reach. it
will be a grand finish and will at
tract widespread attention.

The following shows the games won and
lost by the st. Paul and Minneapolis pitchers

Preston's ankle will prevent his return to
the game for a time. 1t is probable that
Isbell will take his place in the outfeld.
Shortly before the game yesterday Pitcher
Phillips, of Indianapolis, received a tele-
gram from home stating that his baby was
dying. He left on an evening train.
The street car service for the last two
days has been about what would
date the fans who might want to see the
Junior City league play. Some wise head
with the company has a new idea, by which
the old base ball specials on the Hamline
~" are abandoned, and big interurban
coaches are run to the Midway. OF course,
the people have to wait for them to come
down from the barn near the city limits after
the game, a run of two miles and a half or
more. Yesterday, while waiting for this
commodious service, the women who had
gone to the game had their bonnets and
clothes drenched with the rain, when, had
prompt service been given, all might have
been under shelter in plenty Of time. The
execrable street car service is costing Nam
ager Comiskey many dollars daily, and he
is just beginning to find out that the COM
pany does not give: the service here it has to
in Minneapolis, where people have to be
coaxed to the games anyway. They do say
that the company built Goodnow's suburban
grand stand rather than have him renew the
lease on the old band box back of the West
hotel. Comiskey's salvation from the DOM
ination of the street railway company seems
walking distance of the heart of the city.

EASY FOR THE INDIANS.
They Will Win the Pennant i'm n

The Indianapolis team won almost
steadily during the week just ended,
and the contest for the Western league
pcrnant is practically all over but
the shouting. From this on the fight
will be for the honor of second place.
1t must be admitted that Columbus
has much the best chance to hold it,
though either ST. Paul or Milwaukee
can take it by a squirt during the next
month. In spite of the fact that ST.
Paul had a good week, winning five
out of eight games, the team has drop
ped back into fourth place. By good
work this week, however, it can handily
pull into third place again, as after to-

TREATMENT OF NANCE.
Recipe for "a Salve which In Said t.
Produce Good Results.

Scurf or mango is sometimes difficult
to cure. 1t is caused by small mite
that burrows in the skin, and to get rid
CT it the mite must be destroyed. The
treatment mentioned has such tend
ency, but as the application is most
effective when applied locally there has
been too much reliance upon the in
ternal treatment. The sulphur inter-
nally is not harmful, but it will take
too much time; the process is too slow,
says Breeders Gazette.
In the first place, the pens and sleep
ing quarters should be frequently dis
infected with crude carbolic acid and
lime. The surface affected should be
treated with salve made as follows:
Four ounces of salicylic acid, the same
amount of hyposulphite of sodium,
eight ounces of cosmoline or lard; and
if the lard is used small amount of
beeswax should be added to make the
mixture firm. The cosmoline or lard
should be melted over a slow fire, and
while it is warm enough still to remain
liquid stir in the other ingredients
slowly until they are thoroughly mixed.
When cold apply to the diseased skin of
the hogs every day until cure is eff
fected. If many hogs are to be treated
the amount should be doubled or quad
rupled, as the necessities may require.
In stirring in the salicylic acid care
should be used to keep the face away
from the mixture. or the person who
does the work will have a violent case
of sneezing. The salve mentioned is
good for man or beast where there is
a violent and. persistent eruption of
the skin. Do not forget to disinfect
the pens and sleeping quarteres of the
animals. The crude carbolic acid is
good, but when applied strong enough
to be effective it is likely to make the
animals sick. ~,

HINTS FOR STOCkMEN.

There is complaint against the work
done by dehorning clippers and prefer
ence expressed for the saw The clip
pers are all right if used according to
directions.
The balky horse and the swearing
driver are two nuisances where the
horse should have the monopoly. Keep
your temper and in some way get the
horse to think of something else. AS
soon as you do he will go.
Hard roads bang up the feet of the
horse, and it is a question if hard roads
are not as wearing on the horse as soft
roads are. But independent of that
hard roads are desirable when they can
be had without too much burden to the
farmer.
The 1,20o-pound hog-and one man
claims to have one-is not desirable or
profitable. We once saw pen Of ten
hogs where aggregate weight was 10,-
900 pounds. Hogs to weigh must be
kept until the second year, and that of
itself is not advisable.
Secretary Wilson thinks that hog
cholera can be abolished" and will
study the thing from A to u. 1t has
been studied already, but the more it
is studied the worse it is. Feed less
corn. breed from more mature stock
and keep the hogs under healthful con-
ditions are all the science there is to
the subject.-Western Plowman.
