Carrick's Fine Pitching.

"Poker Bill" Carrick is entitled to a
handful of eulogistic linotype this
morning for his excellent exhibition N
the box. Poker Bill was something of a
puzzle to the visitors from the Windy
City-not one of those colored supple
ment puzzle affairs, but a regular, yarl-
wide puzzle.
1t is something of an achievement to
let the champions of the American
League take the regulation number of
swipes at the sphere and only get half
dozen safeties to their credit. Yet this
is what William, Duke of Grand Rapids,
alias Poker Bill on the baseball cir
cult, accomplished yesterday afternoon,
and in the doing thereof he earned the
admiration of multitude of people who
like to sit on a hard board for two
hours, watching ball game and never
giving the waiting dinner and anxious
WHEY at home any thought
The capable Mr. Roy Patterson, relict
of the fabled Mr.. Billy. did the ball
tossing for the people from Chicago,
He worked well enough for a champion
team. but he was about four pegs be-
hind our own Poker BIZ in the mat
ter of elusiveness. Patterson had all the
steam in the world. but the style of ball
he served was about the sort the Sena-
tors banker after. as rule.

Coughlin Leads the Hitting.

Coughlin, who is showing the people
of the Capital City that as a third base
man Wolverton was only a minor
leaguer-and a Utah minor Lacquer at
that-slammed three of Patterson's
shoots into safe territory Besides this
hitting record, Coughiin made a number
of fine plays. even if he was unfortunate
enough to donate to the error column.
The injury to Carey's arm necessitated
a change in the makeup of the club.
Chic. Delehanty played first base-and
he played 1t perfectly-and Lee was sent
out 10 look after the left garden.
Colonel Lee distinguished himself by
making brace of catches OF the crack
erjack variety.
Even Del. over on first, had to ex-
claim Gee" when he saw his substi-
tute's work.
The first Of these catches occurred in
the second inning. when Mertes' hit ap-
peared TO be good for a flight over into
the home run precinct. Lee planted
himself fast against the fence and lit

Again, in the third inning, the sub
left fielder made a long run after
Green's fly and nabbed it. much to the
pleasure of the crowd, as strang was on
second base, all prepared to chase to
third in case Lee missed the ball
Better fielding than these two catches
OF the colonel have rarely been made
on the local grounds; indeed. it would
be well nigh impossible TO surpass them
For seven innings the game was list

The wise baseball boys as a pitchers

 It Is our purpose to have country club in connection with the club, and a country club house will probably be erected out at the new Picket Springs Park, where golf. tennis and other out door sport will be afforded the members. The country club feature will be an at tractive one. and will be. source of pleasure and recreation during the spring and summer months after the season for germans and receptions Is over. A com mittee consisting of Messrs. J. F. Fer rall, R. +. Ligon and Castor Gunter has been appointed to look after this matter and also to recommend a. new location for the Club in the city, A lot will be purchased and club house will be built. or else a suitable residence will be bought and converted into a modern club house. A cafe will probably also be established in connection with the Club and con- ducted under dts auspices. A commo- dious dancing hall will be provided, and ths appointments and furnishings of the club house will be complete and up-to- date in every respect.

 Speaking of the recent consolidation or the. Beauyoir and Joie de Vie Clubs, a prominent member of the governing com mittee of the Club said yesterday:
 The consolidation of the Beauvoir and Joie de Vie Clubs means much to the club and social life of Mont gomery. By this union one of the strongest social clubs in the State is formed. The present membership of the Club is one hundred and fifty, embracing many of the promi- nent business and society men of the city. The constitution of the Beauvoir Club has. since the consolida tion been amend ed, however, so as to authorize d mem bership of three hundred The Club will continue for the present under the name of the Beauvoir Club. 4 new name for the consolidated Club will be Adobted.

 "A bridal party shall he given to every member of the society who may marry and whenever the marriage of a member occurs, it shall be the duty of the Presi- dent to call the society together for the purpose of making arrangements neces- sary to giving such party"
 Such d constitution would scarcely meet the requirements of the new club that has now been formed. There are apt to be a few diversions in this up- to-date club other than bridal party giving.
 The first of these parties was given to MT. Fort Hargrove and his bride, on Jnne 26. 1851. at Estelle Hall Soon after this, the Bachelors became henedicts in such rarid succession that it was decided to give two parties year and have all who had committed natrimony in the six months at one affair

Roberts when he took the witness stand against
William Dennison, a stalwart young farmer
for assault. The minister attended church

They took a walk in the woods, and, &C
cording to Mr.. Roberts testimony, ION the
way back stopped and rested on a rustic bench.
What with the solitude, the rustling leaves.
the tWittering OF birds and the slanting sun

mind to meet the village belle almost half way
when she pursed her lips. Upon her urgent In
vitation," he testified, he kissed her.
The walk was resumed, but on the way back
they met Dennison, Miss Ackerman's dance, He
demanded explanations from the girl for her
stroll with the minister. She told him of the
kiss and thereupon the stalwart Dennison
thumped Mr.. Roberts There was much excite

Miss Alderman said on the stand that the
charges she made against the Rev. Mr.. Rob-
