Crossing swords "a the House.

Away back in the seventies, during
the famous deadlock fight on the civil
rights bill, the question of the adjourn
ment of congress was under discussion
one Saturday afternoon. Ben Butler,
that born w.t. had stepped over to Sam
Randall desk for a private consulta-
ton. Butler favored a Sunday session,
while Randall opposed it vigorously.
"Bad as am. have some respect
for Gods day." said the famous high
tariff champion, land l don't think it
right TO hold a session on the Sabbath. "
ooh, pshawr" responded Butler.
Doesn't the Bible say that it is lawful
to pull your OK or ass out of the pit on
the Sabbath day? You have 70 asses on
your side of this house that / want to
get out of this ditch tomorrow, and !
think | am engaged in holy work"
"Don't do It, Butler, " pleaded Ran
dali. II have some respect for you that

to meet you in better world"
"But you'll be there, as you are
here, )" retorted the sly Benjamin, quick

BIAS BALL NOTES.

Dick Harley left for St Louis last
night. Tim Hurst talked so eloquently
that Richard was compelled to give in.
Manager Ewing. so the reports from
San Antonio state, is making the Reds
practice bunting diligently every day.
Buck" has long head. and has been the
cause of Cincinnati's winning many a
hard game
A. ]. Reach said yesterday that he had
opened negotiations with the Pittsburg
management looking to the securing of
either Padden or Eagan to play second
base. Those who know say there is no
chance of securing either man.
This will be the first time in fourteen
years that the Phillies have started in
Spring practice without Catcher John
Clements. Glen" by the way. has not
yet started for St. Louis. as was report
ed. He wants to see the color of some
coin before he quits Philadelphia.
Tom Burns. who is looking after the
Colts in the capacity of manager has a
line out for Charlie Dexter, the Louis
vile player, and is willing to give a fair
price for him. 1t is not thought, however.
the Louisville management will part with
Dexter. as his work is fully appreciated
there.
When the Boston club goes South next
him Harry Bemis, one of the leading am
ateur catchers in the State of Massachu-
sets. Bemis, who is twenty-three years
old, has been playing ball since he was old
enough to handle bat and ball. He is
a native of Pennington, n. II. He is
feet 1-2 inches tall and weighs about
10 pounds.
1t is Manager Stallings' intention to
play Lajoie at second base. That will
cause the team to be made up as follows:
Douglass, first base; Lajoie, second base;
Elberfield, third base; Cross, shortstop;
Delehanty., Cooley, and Thompson, out
fielders; Boyle, Mcfarland, and Fisher,
catchers; Orth, Donahoe, Fiield, Wheel
er, Dunkle. Piatt, Jimeson, Duggleby and
pitchers; Abbatichio, substitute
Flick, substitute outfielder.
Jot Goar, who expects to be a strength
ening addition to the Reds pitching de-
partment this season, is the recipient of
praise these days. Here is what
Mana ger Bancroft of the Cincinnati team,
says about him: Jot' possesses the Sc

YOUNGSTERS DOING WELL.
Likely Derby Horses at the Famous

Louisville. Ky. March 15.-Of the ten
Kentucky Derby candidates now at
Churchill Downs the most observed at

Whistle Jacket, out of Ten Ban. He is
now about the best looking of the Derby
colts, and while he is regarded as an out
slider by the wise ones. not a few of the
trainers and stable hands are preparing
TO palce few small bets on him. Pontus
has wintered well and has widened and
broadened until he is a grand looking
race horse. AS a two-yeaT-Old he was not
a world beaten. but had consistent rec
ord. and there are many who think he
has more than an outside chance TO land
the coveted race.

feet on Plaudit. and the son of Himyar is

Bill Hefferman, the Australian middle
weight. has brought suit against the
Olympic Club of Buffalo, in the SUI
preme court to recover $500. He says
that this amount is due him for his fight
with Tommy Ryan, of Syracuse. Hef
ferman alleges that his manager made
a contract with the defendant club by
which both the winner and loser of the
fight were to receive $500. He declares
that he has never received his money.

about settled that Barry must next

The wrists and hands need attention,

who are practically laid up by sprains or

LESSONS FROM KID MCCOY.
Points for Co-laborers in the Pusil-
iSIiC Field.

istic Field.
A pugilist never knows exactly how he
got into the business. Perhaps through
a lucky street fight or his natural fond
ness for the manly art OF self-defense.
There is always one time in his career
when he finds himself on She road to sue
cess and yet knows that he is not any too
skillfu with his fists or physically capa-
bic of upholding his reputation. He has a
name that he does not deserve and should
know it if he intends TO improve, writes
Kid Mccoy
No Fighter in the world can expect 10
become foremost i'm his class unless he
studies his own muscular development
and capability in delivering blows. a
great many men give too much attention
10 the latter. They seem 10 think that TO
be able To deliver great variety OF blows
fOrcibly means victory. Not SO, in my
opinion. There comes time in every
fight when d mans vitality is Slapped. He
f. dead tired and almost ready to give
up What good does all his effective
punches do then? All the science in the
country can't procure strength for him.
For this reason / am firm believer in
finding out the weak points in the body
and Systematically building them up. Get
strong all through. You may find such
a practice very useful when the plnch
comes.
The longer man can put of that tired
feeling the better chance he has Of win
ming the fight
The kinds Of exercise to indulge in or
the system TO pursue depend entirely
upon ones makeup. A heavy man needs
TO turn fat into long. quick muscle. a
slim man must increase his chest meas
uremeHts and obtain enough thickness
for endurance. The legs. especially.
should be given careful preparation. For
every blow or ward-off of the arms there
is corresponding strain on the under
pinnings. The most helpless feeling in
the ring is to have the fegs give out. To
be groggy means nothing else than
numbness or paralysis OF these muscles.
