SUNDAY BALL.
Games VIII BE Played in Greater
New York This Season.

NEW YORK Jan. 5.-The World says:
There is hardly any doubt that the New York
club will play Sunday ball during the com
ing season. not only on the road, but at
the polo grounds borough of Manhattan,
New York While President Freedman has
not as yet made definite statement to that
effect, 1t is an open secret that he will make
an announcement next Monday which will
be of the greatest interest to the followers
of the national game in this city. There has
always been a strong sentiment In what
is now Greater New York in favor of Sun
day ball. When the Brooklyn base ball club
played Sunday ball in the old Ridgewood
park the attendance was large and orderly.
There is no reason why Sunday games in the
polo grounds should not be well patronized
by regular patrons Of the club. All the West
ern teams. with the exception OF Pittsburg,
play Sunday ball at home and abroad. and
It is expected that the Smoky City will fol-
low suit the coming season under its new
management With New York, Brooklyn
Baltimore and Washington to play Sunday
games here besides the Western teams, there
will be plenty of entertainment for the en-
thusiasts who will welcome the opportunity
TO enjoy their favorite sport on Sunday.

DULUTH. Mimi, Jan. 5.-Two chap
tiers were added to the Rockefeller
Merritt litigation today. The first was
a fistic encounter between Attorney ].
L. Washburn, who displaced Attorney
A. A. Harris. as attorney for the Mer-
ritts in their suits against Rockefeller,
and the displaced attorney They met
in the office of the sheriff and Col Har-
ris started hostilities by demanding an
explanation of WaShburn. The expla-
nation was not satisfactory and Col.
Harris attacked his brother attorney
with his fists. The occupants Of the Of
flee were somewhat taken back that
such thing should happen there and
did not recover from their astonish-
nlent for several minutes They final
ly realized the situation and separated
the combatants before any blood had
been shed.
The second chapter was a suit
brought by the Merritts against Col A
A. Harris and his son Henry E. Harris
to recover about $1,000 alleged to be
due by reason Of damages sustained by
the Merritts through the failure Of the
HAIRLESS to turn over a large number
Of shares Of stock that had been placed
in trust with them during their Rookie
feller litigation and which they al
legged had been given them outright.
The stock was recently awarded the
Merritts by the court. The Merritts
first brought suit to recover the stock
and were given judgment that the
Harrises deliver 1t. 1t was then found
that the HAIRLESS had hypothetical the
greater part of the stock by putting It
UP as security for loans. The Merritts.
in order to obtain 1t, were compelled to
pay the loans and they ask judgment
for the amount so paid.

day. and the Browns are now owned by an
INDIANAPOLIS syndicate, which includes Dick
son d Talbot, the theatrical managers When
the deal was first made, it was thought that
A. G; spalding. c. C. Sphinx, of St. Louis,
and A. c. Arson, were among the purchas-
ers, but they deny that they have any inter
est in the Browns. John T. Brush engineer
ed the scheme, and has been at work on the
details of the plan ever since the league
meeting in November. William F. Schmidt
is interested with the Cincinnati m7gnate in
all Of his base ball ventures. and is one of
the principal stockholders in the St Louis
team. Dickson & Talbot have long desired
to get into base ball. George H Dickson
admitted this morning that he and Henry
Talbot were largely interested in the ST.
Louis club, but he refused to discuss the
affairs of the club until the return of Mr..
Brush from St. Louis. He said the purchase
had been completed, but no arrangements in
regard to strengthening, the club had been
made. 1t IS understood that Charles L9yman
of this city. will look after the business
interests of the Browns next season, taking
about the same position with the club "a thai

Of nearly $4,000 out of, rthe $4,000 al

Mr.. Gannett had full charge Of the
forestry eXaminations-that is, the
study of the economic and physical as
poets of the forest reserves. He en-
ployed his force strictlyuon the theory
that what were wanted were men COM
petent to examine the forest lands and
growth. No political ornlocal claims"
were involved in the selection of any
Of his force. The result of his seasons
work was the examination of the
Black Hills reserve by one man; OF
the Big Horn reserve by another, Of
the Teton reserve cby a. third, of the
Priest River and the Eastern part Of
the Bitter Root reserve by a fourth,
and of the big Washington reserve by
three men. The information which
they were required to gather was:
o. The amount. species, age and other
characteristics Of the timber; the extent to
which it had been cut and the extent to
which it has been burned; the character and
extent of the underbrush, and the depth and
character Of the humus and soil;
