a beneficial effect on every member of the
team.
This morning I received a telegram from
President Robson, in which he told of the
transfer of the team. In the absence of
other information l cannot formulate any
plans, but as matters now stand, the team
will be composed as follows:
"O'Connor, Griger, thinner and Schrecon-
gest. catchers; Young, Powell. Guppy,
Bates, Jones, Mcbride, McAllister, Wilson
and probably Sudhoff. pitchers; myself on
first base; Childs, second base: Mexican,
shortstop; Wallace, third base; Blake, Grif-
fin and Burkett will play in the outf1eld,
with Jake Stencil and Dowd to fall back
on. Blake has played very fast ball for US,
and Stencil and Dowd will have to show up
wonderfully well to force US to replace him.
My policy, however, will be to strengthen
at any cost, and where any weakness is
developed we will have enough reserve ma
terial in hand to give st. Louis a pennant-
winning aggregation.
Tebeau added that he is especially well
pleased with the practice work of the men
here, and every one Of the players is ready
to take the field and play championship
ball. There is not a trace of soreness or
is oyerjoyed at the outcome of the base ball
muddle.
Mike Griffin is the only man under con-
tract who has not yet reported here, ex-
cept Peter Mcbride, the Manhattan College
pitcher, who will join the team at the close
of his college term in June.
Two players who are with the New Yorks
in Charleston are in dispute. Pitcher Col
colough is under reserve to the Wilkesbarre
club, and his release will have to- be pur-
chased before the New Yorks can play him
in a championship game. J. Ira Davis, ac-
cording to Thomas Riley. owner of the New
Haven club, has jumped his contract and is
ineligible to play with the New Yorks.
Davis case will come before the national
board Of arbitration.

Considerable speculation has been in
dulged in by base bali writer's as to the
makeup of the new St-Lauis club under
the management of Pat Tebeau. Several
guesses had Lave Crossg onGShird and Bob
by Wallace at short, throwing O'Connor
and Mexican into the Cleveland leftover
combination. These guessas are all wild,
for the simple reason that OConnor and
Mexican are two of the best players in
base ball today, and Tebeau is too wise
general to disrupt an organization that
plays like well-oiled machinery as a result
of years of constant playing together.
Manager Tebead gave out the following In
tefview at Hot Springs directly after the
adjournment Of the league meeting, at
which II was decided that he and his fol-
lowers will be located in St. Louis the COM
ing season. Tebeau said:
Il am naturally well pleased at the turn
of affairs which places me In charge of a
high-ciass club In my native city, and frcm
present appearances am satisfied that the
team Is the strongest I have ever managed
and that we will be factors In the cham
pionship race from the opening of the sea-
son until the pennant is won :. CandfdIy

pionship to st. Louis, for we always fin-

ed people. Such pushing and intel.
ligent men as Dan Clark, J. W. Seals
and their colleagues, who are the zeal.
Gus promoters OF the interests of the
Fair are exerting themselves to make
this years endeavor more attractive
and superior to that Of last year. In
this, they are cordially encouraged by
our white citizens. The list OF premi.
ums offered is larger and more liberal
than those Of the preceding Fair, and
every inducement will be presented to
make the event notable and creditable.
Races and other amusements will take
place daily. We hope to see large

feel the want of relaxation from the

Heavens Pyrotechnics.

During the nights Of the 18th, 18th
and 18th Of this month this part of the
globe will be treated to one OF the
grandest phenomena that occur in the
annual passage Of the earth through
the infinlty Of space. Our terrestrial
orb will travel through the sphere OF
meteors, and magnificent spectacle Of
countless shooting stars, or arolites,
darting through limitless space, will
be presented to the gaze Of those who
may have the good fortune to be awake
to witness 1t. The spectacle may be
likened to profuse display Of fire
works-only grander and iucomparably
more sublime. In this latitude, the
gorgeous display may be witnessed at
probably midnight, lasting some two
or three hours. 1t is known to astron.
omers as the "shower of meteors."
