sionals-RevivaI of PUSH Ball.
Charles B. Whitney. head of the firm
of c. b. Whitney & Co., large eastern
manufacturers and dealers in sporting
goods. in an interview at Denver
few days ago, said;
1T is wonderful, the number of uni
forms used in some of the large cities.
For instance, in Denver. three years
ago, sixty full sets of uniforms were
sold. AS these will average about ten
to the set. there were 600 uniforms sold
in this city alone. That was a larger
number in proportion to population
than was sold in any other city in the
country in that year. Last year there
were siXty-eight teams in organized
baseball. and each of these teams had
at least two sets of suits. The number
in these sets vary. For instance. New
York's team ordered two full sets of
twenty in each. making forty suits.
Then think of the number of amateur
clubs that buy uniforms in year. 1t
is difficult to figure up what the grand
total will be, but it furnishes work
for many people. The indications are
that the season of 1903 will be the
greatest known in baseball. The or
ganized leagues are in better shape, as
make the game go for the money in 1t.
There are more leagues, major and
minor, than ever before. Amateur and
emi-professional teams are springing
up in towns where ball has been played
In very Indifferent fashion for years.
| would estimate that there will be
twenty per cent. more baseball leagues
and baseball teams than ever before.
professional basket ball is a new
game that has taken well in the East
during the last winter. 1t has done so
well that 1t will furnish means for
occupation in the winter time to pro-
fessional baseball players. The game
is a much faster game than that played
by amateurs. being under rules made
especially to govern professionals.
Crowds have turned out to see the
game, giving America winter
sport Next winter there will be
dozens of professional basket ball
teams where this year there was one.
"A rather peculiar thing came home
to us the other day. The Overman
Sporting Goods Company, now out OF
existence made a large push ball sew
eral years ago. trying TO populariZe
that game, which was then new. 1t
did not take on this side of the water,
but was transplanted to England,
where it was taken up with enthusi-
asm Now it is being brought back
into this country, with the chance of
becoming very popular. The first push
balls made were really footballs on an
enlarged scale. having the big bladder
like affair in the center. Now the ball
is made over a frame. The old balls
cost about s75 to manufacture, while
the new ones are rather within the
means of those caring to take up the
game"

The British home secretary has at
last promised to release Mrs. May
brick, the American woman who was
convicted fourteen years ago on the
charge of numbering her English hus-
band. She is to be released next
year. The organized movement to
secure a pardon for Mrs. Maybrick
was begun as soon as she was con-
victed and the case became famous
owing to the almost general belief
that Mrs. Maybrick was innocent, and
the efforts of thousands of men and
women on both sides of the Atlantic
in her behalf, persons of worldwide
prominence, and even those concern

camille establishment. died at the
hospital Monday of typhoid fever, after
an illness of only few days duration.
The residents of Tonopah are at last
becoming aroused to the absolute neces.
sity of sanitation and the probability is
that sewerage system will shortly be
installed. As temporary relief
measure the 500 pounds of chloride of
lime which the Citizens Association
has arranged to have literally distri-
buted will doubtless be effective, but
no time should be wasted in making ar.
rangements which will preclude the
sickness sure to result from disregard of
this important question.
w. J. Rice, County Recorder, is in
Tonopah for few days visit, but will
leave for Belmont tomorrow. Mr.. Rice
says the representative of San Fran

Gently buying up all of the old dumps,
his ultimate purpose being to put in
crushing and cyanide plant. There are
thousands Of tons of low grade ore lying
about the dumps of Belmont, and if
they can be worked profitably it means
the expenditure of large sums of money
at the county seat and the forcing of
prosperity on its alternating denizens.

AGAINST FAKE MINING SCHEMES.
Reno Chamber of Commerce Will
Expose Swindling Concerns.

Reno Gazette, October 90: "I think
that whenever the Chamber of Com
merce has positive proof that mining
or other corporation is engaged in
swindling Eastern people upon any
clearly valueless proposition situated in
this State, it should be exposed" said
r. L. Fulton at the Chamber of Com
merce meeting last night. "This State
has been cursed and injured by a num-
Der of pure and simple swindles, where
Eastern people have been mulcted to
the tune of thousands of dollars upon
mines that were known to be valueless
in the section where they were located,
and often nobody raised warning

knowledge the properties are no good
and they have no title to the land in

buying it from other parties. No legit-
innate effort is being made to do devel-
opment work and there is no such prop
erty there as described in the pros.
pectus.
II think in cases of this kind, it is
the duty of the Chamber of Commerce
to intervene" Mr.. Fulton gave the
name of the company, and an order was
made to investigate the facts, and if as
stated, to lay the matter before the
Postoffie Department on the ground
that the company was using the mails
for the purpose of fraud.
