NEW AMER1oAN LEAGUE
Secures Grounds and Ball Stand Privi-
leges In Baltimore.

Baltimore, Jan. 26.-The American
Base Ball Association scored a point
against the National League team here
today, when its representatives signed
a lease for the Union Park base ball
grounds The lease is to run for one
year and s., 500 is the consideration for
the use of the grounds and stands for
that period.
Doubtless a legal battle will result.
The meeting for organization of the
new club it is announced will be held
tomorrow night.
At an informal conference the ten
gentlemen who agree to capitalize the
company have agreed upon the amount
each is to pay, and the money, amount
ing to $40 900, it is stated will be paid
in at that meeting and officers of the
club will be chosen.
John J. McGraw, the probable man
ager Of the new club, received a tele-
gram from Frank Richter, of Phila-
delphia, today, announcing that Provi-
dence, R. L, had accepted the eighth
franchise, and would complete the cir
cult of the new association, which will
be made up of Providence, Boston,
Philadelphia and Baltimore, in the east,
and Chicago. st. Louis. Detroit and
Milwaukee in the west.

BROOKLYN WILL STRENGTHEN
Hanlon Will Not Overlook opportuni-
ties to Help the Champions.

New York, Jan. 26.-With the New
Yorks still an uncertainty because of the
strange policy of their owner, local cranks
must naturally turn to the champion
Brooklyns who upheld Greater New York
so finely last year. Manager Hanlon has
made no public announcement, nut it is a
fact that he intends to further strengthen
the BrooAIyns by a series of deals. which
will make it a difficult matter TO beat
them out for the championship of an
eight-club circuit.
Hanlon would like to have McGraw to
play third base for Jennings, DAILY. Dab
len and McGraw would make the strong
est intleld in the country. But as McGraw
Is bound to be a manager and does not
want to play under Hanlon it is almost
certain that he will be turned over to
another team when the time comes
Casey work was satisfactory toward the
close of last season, as the little third
basenan took a great brace But Han
lon believes that he can make an i'm
provement by placing Da.hlen on third
base and throwing out lines for a short
stop. Jennings viii play first base, so
there IS no chance Of seeing him in his
old place.

easily be shifted to the Brooklyns if Han

oMAHA.KANsAs CITY SHOOT.
Local Wingshots Did Well In the
Preliminaries.

4ACAAA44A2AAC6s
Omaha, Neb., Jan. 26.-One of the
most important sporting events and,
withal, the most notable shooting tour
nament in the history of Omaha, began
Thursday when a preliminary shoot
was held at the gun club grounds across
the river prior to the great match shoot
between the crack teams representing
the gun clubs of Omaha and Kansas
City, which will begin today.
J. S. Jenkins, of Neigh, won the big
event by scoring "a out of q in the live
bird handicap. Parmalee, Allen and J.
A R. Elliott tied for second money:
Plumber, Kimball and BramhaU tied
for third, and Cockrill and Townsend
tied for fourth. The second, third and
fourth moneys were evenly divided be-
tween the contestants who were tied.
Following the live bird handicap, the
shooters engaged in an interesting miss
and out match, in which several of the
members of the Omaha and Kansas
City teams who will begin their big
match tomorrow shot for practice. The
scores in the handicap were as follows
Parmalee, %; Plumber, %; Grant. II;
Allen, 23; Cockrill, p; LOOMS, IS: Kim

THE BOER AS A FIGHTER.

The reputation of the Boer as a
lighter is as old as his very interest
ing history, and it has suffered no
impeachment from the record he has
thus far made in the present conflict.
On the contrary, the military abili
ty and remarkably successful execu-
ton on the part of the Transvaal
patriots have astonished the nations
of the earth. He might we'll have
inscribed on his banner these words.
"Who conquers me shalt find stub =
born foe, for such resistance as
the Beers are offering their English
opponents in the conflict between
greed and patriotic Impulse is a very
practical demonstration of the fact
that as fighter he is gaining ground
at an amazing rate.
Whatever may be the issue of the
war In Africa, his valor and judg-
ment shine through the smoke of
battle like a beacon fire and battle
the would-be strategists and digni-
tarles who marched into South Africa
AMID the glare of trumpets and

tokened wholesale disregard for the
rights of the Beers and with the evil

fast and almost any kind of mix
up may be expected. This is the
newest complication:
News has reached Canton that a bat
tie occurred between natives near Wang

there. 1t is said that the Chinese routed
the French and pursued them for some

The Chinese losses are not stated. The

BRANDS AND EARMARKS.

The Wreckard, squirming under
the impossibility of explaining its
hired denunciation of the farmers
for accepting a good price for their
hay, again displays its brands and
earmarks and would like to make re-
talating capital out of an answer
made by the Signal man to one of
a set of questions sent out by Cover
nor Steunenberg in compiling his last
message. The editor of the Signal
stated that the ranges of this county
would not support more sheep, to
any extent than it now contained,
basing the statement upon the self
evident fact that the sheep owners of
the county cannot, or do not, ind
sufficient range for the hocks they
now have, but go outside of the
county borders each year in scare h
OF range. A true statement cannot
be antagonistic to this industry, Of
which the Signal has said more good
words and TO the benefit of which the
Signal has welded more effective
influence than the industry will pro-
badly ever derive from the existence
of the Wreckard. BY reason, of
statements made in current issues of
the Signal, thousands of dollars have
been invested IN that industry in this
county. The article in question is very
frivolous and is only noticed because
we know that the animus which sup-
gested it came, not from the Wreck
ard office, but from Que who has de-
rived thousands of dollars of benefit
from tue existence and life work OF

Wreckard force possesses sufficient

THE TRUST.

The people will administer a mer-
tied rebuke to the notorious trust in
the very near future. The bleeding
process has gone on about long
enough and mighty wave of public
indignation will engulf the hideous
monster that is now preying upon a
defenceless people, who, for the pres
ent, have no available means of re-
dress. The sentiment against the
trust is almost universal and it is
growing at tremendous rate. The
masses have suffered under the hand
of this notorious fiend of trade till
the heart has grown sick and life
to many has assumed the proportion
of an unbearable burden. Who is
to blame for the woeful condition
that now exists, for the misery and
suffering entailed by this powerful
combination ? The party that up
holds the policy that made it possible.
and that party will surely have to
answer for the great crime it has
committed against humanity. New
trusts are forming every week and
the work of plumber goes on in a
surprising degree. The markets are
being cornered and the common
people are called upon to pay enor-
nous tribute to the great enemy of
honest industry and the common
principles of justice upon which the
safety of the nation so largely rests.
