then. and there was only the travel of
country wagons to and from the Center
market from northWard by the Montgom-

then but continuation Of that road. and
for many years was unimproved. save by
a simple bridge over stream in K

the case until about 1870 For a full half

1t was said by one of the council
men after the meeting that he thought
the efforts of President Lewis in the
parking interests of the city were not
fdlly appreciated and that there should
be sudden turning round TO more
favorable ground. Mr.. Lewis sta.es
that, while 1t may seem rather pig
for the city to appropriate $4,000 this
year for the improvement OF the parks
Vi the city, it is not large at all when
IL is considered that this expenditure
will place the parks in the best OF
condition and that no further eXpendi-
ture will have TO be made except lor
necessary maintenance for a number
OF years to come. 1t Is expected that
report favorable to the appropriation
asked for will be made before the

PRESIDENT N. L. O'NElLL VISITOR
IN CITY YESTERDAY.
Good Lively Nine May Be Brought TO
Ogden to Open Season In

That the baseball game Is going to
be given an early impetus this season
was evidenced yesterday by the visit
of N. L. O'Neill. president of the West
ern Baseball league, headquarters be-
ing at Chicago.
Mr. O'Neill visited Ogden first In
the state of Utah, because, he said, he
knew that Ogden was at the head of
the game In Utah He knew Dad"
Glmlin and the Ogden ball twirlers
through their good ball playing and of
course looked to Ogden for the better
encouragement along his line.
Mr., ONeill has thirty professional
ball players in California at this time,
a number of games having been sche-
duled for that state during the next GO
days. He has the famous white
"SoX" of Chicago with the bunch and
he is very anxious to open the western
games at an early date. He thinks 1t
would be capital idea to bring a
good lively nine 10 ogden about March
80 to cross bats with the Ogden aggre-
CATION. which is the champion team Of
with the lesser lights of the state.
President Hess and Manager Gimlin
were both out of town yesterday.
which prevented Mr.. O'Neill from
meeting with them and arranging mat
ters. He however. met with the mayor
of the city and Secretary Reynolds of
the Weber club. who gave him every
possible encouragement toward the
arrangement for game with the Og-
den team. AS soon as Mr.. Hess and
MI Gimlin return home the matter
will be taken up with them and it is
thought that meet can be arranged
for on the date suggested by Mr..
O,Neill The baseball fans will watch
with eagerness the announcement OF
game between the local fans and the

SULLIVAN AND OTHER
OLD FIGHTERS TO MEET

Seattle. Feb. 2.-Having dipped gen.
erously into about everything else,
John L. Sullivan is about to launch
himself into occultism.
The one time champion of all the
champs" is planning a resurrection,
or naturalization, or some other
psychic stunt and as a result OF 1t, de-
clares he. the pugilistic ghosts of 9TH
er days will be conjured to do their
turn for a little time. as they did it
In the days of the greensward and

II has been something like a cen
tury and half now, since the Bos-
ton boy laid Paddy Ryan low on the
banks Of the lower Mississippi To
be accurate. 1t was in 1888 that the
one good Irishman was laid away by
a better one and the question OF the
championship brought down out OF the
air
1t was a whole lot later than that,
but almost as long ago. so far as mem
DRY serves, that Jake Ktlrain was
planted on the same well creased to-
boggan and between that time and
this there has been many another good
man sent on his way TO the place
where all good mittmen go, via the
same route.
1t is these ghostly shadows of the
past that Sullivan would bring back
into the theatre of events. that pres
ent generations may see what manner
OF man 1t was fought when nothing
save pistols was barred and the anvil
was considered legitimate weapon OF
offense.
II is in Seattle that Sullivan plans
this wholesale revivi6cation Of the
dead ones. He has arranged with the
directorate OF the Alaska lllon-P Pa
ciflc Exposition for concession on
the PAY Streak" and there he will
set up ring of the old days-not a
ring with velvet carpet on the floor
and a lot of sofa pillows stuck around,
but real turf ring, with a rock or
two here and there TO make 1t feel
homelike-and with the four posts
1erked from farmers fence. with the
nails left in them. There will be none
of your coy corners, says John L.,
for either principals or seconds.
And through the ropes will go those
pugs of the other day and some of A
later day, who still were fighters. for
Kid Lavigne will be among those pres
ent and there is none TO say he was
not grand little man, who took the
gaff and liked 1t when 1t came his way.
