WOULD ELEVATE BASEBALL.
Movement on Foot to Place on Par With
Golf and Other Giants.

The National League magnates are
considering several baseball innova-
tions with a view of placing the game
on a parwith horse racing and the
theatres. The nnprec edented success
attending the present season has
shown that baseball, especially the
winning kind, is practically as good q
drawing card as racing. All through
the present season the leading clubs
have played almost to capacity.
The ideas looking toward the future
elevation OF the gnme to the point
where it will attract the best classes
of amusement seekers include the
abolition of Sunday games and q great
improvement in the accommodations
for spectators. This would mean in
creased expenses and o consequent in
crease in the price Of admission.
With crowds of from 20, 600 to 40, 600
persons watching anne under tile
present uncomfortable conditions, the
magnates believe that o considerable
portion of the number would prefer to
pay more money to be able to sit in
comfort rather than endure the hard
board chairs at present in use.
AS regards Sunday ball, experience
is beginning to show that it is q los
ing venture. even in the west, where
immense crowds turn out for such
games. The profit in baseball comes
from the higher priced portions of tho
stands, and the big Sunday crowds,
as n rule, occupy the twenty -five-cent
seats. An incrasee in the tariff would
also keep out of the stand a certain
undesirable portion of the fans, whose
language and general behavior is an
nnying to those who desire to witness
baseball without being compelled to
listen to uncalled for comments.
Looking further ahead, the scheme
includes the surroundings and ap-
proaches to the ball park They argue
that if the race track people n pro
vide for their patrons steel grand
stands, landscape gardening and other
beautiful and attractive features, the
baseball managers and owners should
follow suit.
Sunday baseball may be eliminated
at the animal meeting this winter.
The Sunday games played in Brooklyn
this season showed that in the east, at
least, there was little desire for the
amusement and in the west the games
are made attractive by features that
would not be co"untenanced in we'll
con iucted ball parks.

THIS CORPSE WAS LIVELY.
1t Cost a Jolly Soldier a Weeks Paw
to Square Himself for an
Absurd Joke.

An old veteran of Chicago tells this
story: came very near getting killed
in camp once by two colored boys.
Four or five fellows on our skirmish
line had been shot during a sudden
raid by confederate cavalry, and their
bodies were brought in and laid right
in front Of the regimental hospital
tent. My orderly sergeant discovered
two of our men among the killed, so
directed him to have the bodies taken
to our company headquarters for burial.
He deputed two colored carriers at
tached to the relief corps to bring
them up, and while they went off for
a st!etcher l asked my lieutenant and
several other officers who stood by me
if they wanted to see some fun. Of
course they did. So | told them to
watch me, and. running over to where
the dead privates lay, l raised the
blanket and slipped in between them.
Nearly all the colored men attached
to the relief corps had a great aversion
to handling corpses; in fact, it is a
characteristic of the race, and, although
many of overcome the feeling owing to a
familiarity, still the superstition
was always near the surface. When the
carriers returned with the stretcher !
lay stiff as a ramrod with my eyes closed.
| heard one say, Look yah, Jim, dey's
hyer, Std O. two" Reckon we
TEX 'em all now; less tote this un

the body on my left and took it up to

ALL CUBANS
WON 5.
Locals Had the Lead for Eight
Innings, But Errors Proved
Too Costly.

The All Cubans got away with yes
terday's game Mt Amusement Park and
they were lucky in doing SO. The locals
n the game we'll in hand for eight
innings, but in the eighth and ninth
pitcher Allen let hunted balls get
away from him and that cost the To-
Gals the game. 1t was an uphill fight
for the Cubans and they worked hard
to win. The Perth Amboys got a lead
of two mi in the second inning and
held the lead, increasing their total to
five runs by the eighth, but in that
inning the Oubans tied the score and
in the ninth they tailed three more
runs.
The game was witnessed by the
largest crowd of the season and all
were kept in q constant state of uncer
tainty as to thu outcome. The locals
were helped ont ty a league pitcher
and second baseman. The latter played
n rattling good game and the pitcher
would have won his game if he had
fielded the two hunts spoken of pro-
perly. The first gave the Cnbans two
runs and the. second three. Frank Cox
made a long hit into right field in the
sixth inning that Melted him three
bases. Almeyda made a great stop in
the same inning of Justices drive,
pulling it down out of the air and
tossing it to first in time to nip the
runner. Boyes, the big second base
man who won the first game with II
three Dagger, struck out three times
yesterday but responded in tho ninth
with q hit when it was needed.
The Cresceuts were beaten in the

 IS CAPTURED.

Helena, May "A. Sheriff F. F. Kitchens this morning returned from Rosedale, Miss, bringing with him a negro, Will Jones, who in February last murdered A. w. Robertson, a white man, on Island 66, and who has been a fugitive from justice ever since. The sheriff had been on the look out for Jones ever since his escape from the island after the commission of the crime and sev- eral times the negro was thought to have been located. On Friday he was notified by the officials at Rosedale that his man was there, and after telegraphing to arrest the negro, went to that city after his prisoner. There is little doubt that the murderer will pay the death penalty, as the crime was cold-blooded. The victim of the crime for which Jones must answer was manager of a saw mill on the island and is reputeo to have been a peaceable man.
