Bayard, the old reliable first-sacker
for the local high school. He is e
good sticker and steady fielder and
is expected to strengthen the team.
Haggart. slingsby and Perry are also
good men and are pretty sure TO make
places on the team.
The team will be strengthened a
great deal by having Headland at the
keystone position. With Pritchard a.
short these two men ought to make
things warm around this part of the
diamond.
Olafson will do the work at the re-
ceiving end and needs no introduction,
as he proved himself one of the great
est catchers in the northwest by the
work he did last year.
During the last week the manage
ment has been able to get the dates
arranged with the A. c., May l, May
Is and June 1.
Tho only TWO men whom the preach
ers have on their pitching STAFF this
spring are T.: rgersinRer and Thayer,
the former being their twirler for the
last two seasons, and Thayer. comes
from the local high school with good
reputation.
The men who are trying out for the
ball team all expect to remain here dur
ing the present vacation, which opened
today, and make good progress If the
weather man permits.

Fight critics generally are not in
clined to accuse Johnson OF cowardice.
But his reputation of the Langforc
match, made by his former manager,
and a delay in signing up with Corbett
might incline some to the belief that
perhaps the colored man is not averse
TO usurping some of the prerogatives
OF his white brethren by gathering
some theatrical money while basking
in the publicity of his challenges to
Jeffries.

FORBES BALLOON
 NOT THE WINNER
Corrected Report Gives Lsng Distance Trophy to John Berry, of St. LouiS

New York. June 12.-After receiving corrected reports and examining gov ernment maps. announcement was made at the Aero Club of America yesterday that A. Holland Forbes. of Fairfield. Conn.,. who piloted the bal loon New York in the national cham pionship race from Indianapolis last Saturday. is not the winner of the long distance trophy.
 MT. Forbes probably will get the udration prize. but the distance prize, which carries with it the title of cham pion ballooniSt of America, will go to John Berry. of St. Louis. who. with John Mccullough. piloted the balloon University City.
 The fact that there are two small towns called Blanche-one in Tennes- see and one in Alabama. led to the race to MT. Forbes. When the first report was received that the University City had landed at Blanche, it was supposed to be Blanche Tenn. not far from where two other balloons had come down.
 Instead of that. MT. Berry landed at Blanche. Ala. six miles south of Fort Payne. The distance from Indianapo- lis is about 1892 miles. MT. Forbes landed at Corinth. Miss. about 355 miles from Indianapolis. giving the race to MT. Berry by about twenty seven miles.
 The winning balloon probably att trected lass attention than any of the others before the start of the race. It looked old and faded. seemed to be considerably the worse for wear and coupled an inconspicuous place on the grounds remote from the others.

Booth and Lincolnr De.th Ma.k.

Booth ana L1nCO1m1 O00th ma0ke
 A touching reminiscence of the great actor Edwin Booth is told in connec- tion with Lawrence Hutton's collection of death masks in Talks In a Libra ry," recorded by Isabel Moore:
 Caunt's was one of the two masks in the collection which affected Booth most. The other, naturally enough, but in a very, very different way, was that of Lincoln. I shall never forget the first time be saw the Lincoln mask. He asked innocently enough whose 1t was, and when I told him, my heart for moment stopping to beat, he rose from his seat, took it in his hands and looked at 1t for a long time without word. What it meant to him we can imagine. The whole awful, awful busi- ness came back to him-the mad, dead brother; the martyred, murdered presi- dent Still, without a wo1l, he put it back in it's place, and it stVmed to me as he did so that be kissed 1t with his fingers. I have seen him in that room look at it silently over his pipe many and many a time. But he never touch ed it or spoke of 1t again, even to me. What be thought of it heaven only knows.
