THE ~sPoRTssfEN,s SHOW.

The Sportsmen's show, which opens at
Madison Square Garden three weeks from
last Thursday for a period of seventeen
days, will be from present indications
one of the most realistic reproductions OF
camp life and environments yet present
ed by the SpOrtsmen's association. This
year the board flooring the amphitheater
will be entirely removed. The earth will
be covered by hundreds of wagon-loads
of oak leaves, pine needles and balsam
tops collected from the woodlands Of Long
Island. Hundreds of pine trees from ten
to thirty feet in height will give to the
visitor the impression of a Maine woods
camp, while the presence of moose, deer,
caribou, elk, antelope, bison, foxes. coons,
possums, squirrels, jack rabbits, noun
tain sheep, bear, lynx, kangaroo. Cana
dian wolves, wild boar and mountain
lions will represent in the comparatively
narrow confines of the Garden the game
! districts of the United States, from New
Brunswick to the Rocky Mountains and
beyond. Som exceptionally fine speci-
mems OF beaver and otter have been Sc
cured for this years show, and the ar
rangement of the pools and dams will be
/ Of a character to afford every opportunity
for the study of these ingenious and busy
little animals. Up to three weeks ago
the officers Of the Sportsmen's Associa-
ton had given but little thought to the

occupied with other equally important
features of the show. Within the last

LONG FELLOWS.

Old chroniclers tell wonderful stories
OF the giants that used to walk the eaish,
even as we read In the Bible of Goliath,
who was slain by the young Davir, says
the New York Herald. In later days
perhaps the most interesting book on
g GIANTS was written by a French scholar
named Henrion i'm 171S. This book as
serted that Adam, the first man, was
123 feet 8 inches tall M that Eve was
only 5 feet shorter. After Adam man
began to lose height rapidly. Noah,
says NJ. Henrion, was about q feet tall,
and Abraham measured not more than
20. Moses reached only the poor height
Of Ii feet. and finally man had to be con-
tented with feeble little frames from 4
to 6 feet in height. 5
Many huge human skeletons have been
found according to report. 1t is said
that the skull Of Cavalfed Rincom. who's
remains were discovered in 1900 at
Rouen, would hold a 4bushel of wheat.

WHAT rs LACKING.

Another deprivation that must always
be sadly felt" writes an American woman
in Manila, 'is the lack Of fresh fruit and
sweet milk. There is no such thing as q
BERRY of any sort, cherry or any small
fruit. The insipid banana. the mango
apple and mango stems are plentiful, it
is true, and in the way of vegetables let
tuce, tomatoes, and a poor
quality of sweet corn may be had, and,
as a matter of course, anything and
everything that is canned, but what wo-
man who herself puts upther own fruit, or
supervises it, will eat timed denominations
or is willing to use condensed milk? Near
ly all tales of foreign countries, leave one
in he same frame of mine that character

OUTLOOK IN

The Butte correspondent of the Sport
ing News writes: The Copper State mad
some good ball asst season but l don't
look for a state league here in 1900. l see
that Walter Wilmot is getting players
for the Montana league. Well. he must
know more thar the local cranks. We
only nope we VIII have a league. The
outlook for next season is very poor and
1 don't think we will see as good games
in 1900 as we had IN '99. The greatest
handicap Montana will have to overcome
is the knockers. Butte and Helena have
some of the greatest hammer-act'sts in
the world. No matter how good a player
is, some of those people will try and give
him the worst OF it.
If Louis Eschle does not take mold and
get a team together Butte Will see no
ball this season. He has gone down In
his pocket year after year to keep base
ball up here and he is knocked by every
one outside OF the game.
/ saw the opening game of 1899 between
Butte inc Helena. Players that were
new to Montana got released because
they had a good sya and were playing the
game as they had learned it in the east.
I speak Of Fielder Scoit, Il man. chat the
Helena people had 1t in Cor the first time
he put IN a uniform. They turned him
down before .ha 10y hai a chance to get
in the game, but kept him OH their string
until two days before til: season opened.
/ am glad to say that h. was picked up
by Billings and tic made good.
To get back al the opening game at
Helena, / saw Jimmy Smalley, who aft
EDWARDS played and finished up the sea-
son with Butte, go up four times, get
his base on balls three times and make
one hit. released because he did not hit
them out so some fielder could get them.

the Helena team had no use for Smalley,
who played second base as we'll as the

I stayed over in Boulder, the Great Hot
Springs of Montana, for one w. elk just
to see Boulder and Butte play their
series. Boulder had lost a game to Butte
and sent to Butte to get Pitcher Buckley
and Catcher Why. Well the score was
II to 2 i'm favor of Butte. McDough-
ner pitched great ball that day. Smalley
made some of the finest catches and stops
! ever saw a second baseman make in
this state. There are some good men
here who would max good in any minor
league in the country. Those that are

BASEBALL WAR.

Present indications are hat the base
ball war which has been threatening will
break when the season opens, and lovers
Of the, game Will once more be treated to
the spectacle of bitter struggles between
two big associations, together with syn
d:cate baseball. with all that the latter
implies. The latest move of the National
league in antagonism to the newly formed
American association is the proposition
OF the former to. place a team controlled
BY the National in every city played in
by the American association. In an in
tervieW President A. H. Soden of the Bos-
ton club says:
The league will protect it's interests
by fighting the new American associa-
ton when the latter places clubs in
cities already occupied by league clubs.
BY coming into league territory the new
association invites war, and one of the
most effective measures we could think
OF was to give the public continuous ball
in Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and st.
Louis, or any other cities where the
Qu.nn-Anson combination undertakes to
split up the interest.
''In Boston we shall give the public a
chance to patronize American associa-
zion ball for % cents while the league
teams are on the road. The association
will be a distinct organization under the
national agreement with the National
league as a hacker. AS the association
can play on league GROUNDS 1t Will De
saved a big expense and will have the
first chance at our extra men.
''The league refuses to allow any one
to take UP the name American Associa-
ton without a fight. At Indianapolis in
1891 the league bought out the effects and
good will of the American association and
is now doing business under the name Of
the National League and American As
sociation.,-~I have been informed" said
Mr.. Soden, chat the league~can go into
court and stop any baseball organization
from using the name American associa-
ton. as we are now doing business under
tht firm, name. However. I don't think
we shall take the matter into court, but
prefer to give the public a chance to see
all the baseball they can stand"

That James ]. Corbett does not intend
to take any chances in regard to his ply
steal condition when he meets Champion
Jeffries next March, is evidenced by the
manner in which the former champion
is preparing himself for the encounter.

muscles are gradually growing harder

William Lowell, better known as "Bill"
Lowell, died in New York Feb. 4, after a
lingering illness. His death ends one OF
the most eventful careers known to the
turf. He was born i'm England seventy
six years ago and came to this country
when 8 years old At the age of 25 the
gold excitement lured him to Australia,
where he struck it rich and bought a
string of race horses. When gold was
discovered in California in 1849 Lowell
crossed the Pacific to the Golden Gate
and repeated there his successes on the
other side Of the globe. 1t was not until
about 1860 that he returned to New York.
Here he bought the noted trotting mare
American Girl, 2:16A. She was the rival
of Goldsmith Maid and won many thou
sands of dollars in purses and pools for
her willy owner. From trotters Lowell
turned to nne and for several years
was quite successful in his operations. But
he met with heavy losses in later years,
having dropped upward of $200,000 in one
season. His poolroOan ventures were at
first profitable, but later they proved dis
astrous.
