SOMETHING TO KNOW.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs
in throwing off impurities in the
blood. Electric Bitters improves the
appetite, aids digestion, and is pro-
nounced by those who have tried 1t
as the very best blood purifier and
nerve tonic. Try Ii. Sold for soc or

of one of the lakes at San Pedro
springs, and good likeness.
The players that the Reds will bring
south have not yet been decided upon
but there will not be less than twenty
five. This does not include President
Jno. II. Brush, Treasurer Ashley Lloyd
Manager Frank c. Bancroft and the
newspaper fraternity that will be in
the party. OF the players some will
be from the indianapolis club, which is
also controlled by Mr.. Brush. 1t is
therefore likely that la Looie Knau,
claims, will be here. Other eX-TeXas
leaguerS in the party will be Teddy Nc
Bride and Harry Steinfeldt. The lat
ter is today considered one of the fast
est players in the country and may
play ON the Cincinnati regular team
next season. Among the players that
are coming are Emerson Pink Hawley,
Tommie COrcoran, Elmer Smith, Bug
Holiday, Jake Beckley, Bid McPhee,
Charles Irwin, Theodore Breitenstein,
and Heine PETIT. All the players are
pleased with San Antonio for training
quarters. This is what Breitenstein
says: Il think President Brush and
Manager Ewing made a nice decision
in selecting San Antonio as the place
ut which the Reds will train next
spring. The atmosphere at New Or
leans, in my opinion, is so damp that
it is dangerous and players can not
guard against colds. Then again yell

Manager Bancroft now has the matter
under consideration. AS soon as this
question is settled attention will trun-
ed toward the park for training pur,
poses. 1t is hoped that no effort will
be spared in fitting it up: that the min
utest attention will be given TO the dia-
mond as well as the outfield, so that
the entire grounds will he as smooth
as carpet. 1t will only elicit praise
from the Ohio visitors and will be
conducive toward establishing perma-
nent spring training quarters in this
city. The Reds ON their return north
will have nothing but good words for
San Antonio-the climate, the grounds,
the hotels. II therefore behooves San
AntOnianS to make Il good showing
with the Reds. If the Cincinnati peO-
pie think enough of San Antonio TO
send twenty-five men down here-fOOt
the railroad fare and hotel bills for
month. merely TO derive the advantage
of san AntOnio'S climate. it is but a
duty that San Antonio owes TO make
the Reds stay here a most pleasant
one. They viii be here from four to
five weeks, arriving about the first |
week in March. In the meantime ar !
engagements can be made for their |
training quarters.

The Reds have been very modest in
their demands. All they ask for is
comfortable hotel accommodations and
a good park where they can do their
training. Neither of these require
ments are eXhOrbitaIt, and San An
ionic should be able to provide excel
lent hotel accommodations at reason
able prices, as well as a ball park fit
for the finest. Nothing should be left
undone to aid Buck Ewing's men in
attaining the highest altitude in the
baseball race of '9S from a San Antonio
source. As the Reds leader has eX-
pressed it, it will be nothing but hard
work from the time the team arrives
until its departure. Therefore, it falls
to San AntOniO's lot to make work for
;hem pleasure. and what more pleasure
is it for ball player than to work on
soil that compares with his ability.
san Antonio has first choice as train
ing grounds for the team that will
make Il strong bid for the world S
championship in '9S. If the Reds win
their success will naturally be attribut-
ed to a great extent to their spring
training.

The Cincinnati press unanimously
endorses the selection of San Antonio
in the highest terms. Hardly day
passes but what the newspapers of
Porkopolis contain complimentary no.
tees about the Alamo City. All the
papers will have special correspond
ents here durin the Reds stay, who
will report the daily proceedings of
the players work. Their space will
be unlimited. and thus San AntOniO's
fair name will appear in slugs of cold
lead before the eyes of the people who
have never before given this section of
the universe a thought. The manifest
interest of the Cincinnati newspapers
in their team is remarkable. Columns
with gorgeous display heads, are print
ed daily concerning the movements OF
the players, deals that are pending and
news about the training quarters. The
newspaper boys are all fayorably i'm
pressed with San Antonio. Harry
Weldon. of the Enquirer; J. Edgar Grill
10. of the CONGRATULATIONS, and
Rem Milford, Jr., of the Post, speak of
San Antonio in laudable terms. JIM
Nolan has also contributed an article
to the Enquirer, endorsing San An
tonic.

Another good feature in favor of San
Antonio as training place for the
Reds turned mp yesterday. says the
Cincinnati Enquirer. One of the off
GERS at Fort Thomas dropped into the
clubs headquarters ut Hawley's yes
terday. He said that there is an ele-
CANT, large. covered drill shed. similar
TO the one at Fort Thomas. nearly COM
pleted at the garrison at San Antonio.
When the Reds 90 there he will give
captain Ewing letter of introduction
to the commanding officer of the San
Antonio garrison. That will fix mat
tiers so the Reds can have the use of the
drill shed for practice when the wealth,
er is not suitable for outdoor work AT
the ball park. The building or shed.
he said, was big enough for regula-
ton diamond, and the batteries could
practice as well in it as they could al
the ball park. President w. ii. Bail.
ey, of the Houston, (TeXaS) club, has
offered the Reds Il series of games al
Houston and Galveston when they re
turn from San Antonio In the spring
If they come that way the offer viii
