DIAMOND DUST.

Tim Hurst has a new story, which he is
telling as often as his audiences will stand
for it. While there is no reason TO believe
it is true, it is quite good story. and
Hurst IS not one who believes in spelling a
good story for the sake OF the truth The
scene of Hurst's recent production is laid
in Cleveland, during a Baltimore series:
The first two games were won by Cleve-
land hands down, and the umpire's life on
that day was as merry as a marriage bell,
and nothing was too good for him. Even
Tebeau condescended TO smile and seek his
company that evening. The next day the
order OF things was changed. There was
anawful crowd OF people out to seethe two
games for one price of admission, and they
were roofing as only Cleveland rOoters
know how. The first game Baltimore won
easily and the crowd was sore. In the sec
ond game Hanlon's men got the lead at the
start off and Tebeau vas dancing all over
the field in his rage. Along about the
fourth inning Patrick went out along the
heacbers and gave the crowd the signal
to swarm into the field. OF course, he

After dispoSing of McVey Corbett quickly
donned the gloves again, and at the expi-

critical examination at the conclusion OF

gree. No one present could detect any

ter given out at the Hoffman House last
night explains itself.
ITO Frank c Ives: Having run away
from my challenge to play for the cham

try to cover your retreat and at the same
time to discredit me by publishing u
proposition to concede me odds of 900
in game of 5000 points. This is not
the first time that you have resorted to
the same kind of strategy, but it shall not
avail you in this case.
my answer to your proposition is that
will play you the number of points you pro-
nose &c, OOOl, but instead Of accepting odds
from you, l hereby offer to give you the
odds of 800 points in said game, the
stakes to be 500 a side and both stakes
and net receipts to be given to any local
charity.
This should certainly convince you that
