O'Toole and Kelly, the star bat
terry. recently sold by St. Paul to
Pittsburg, have reported for duty
in the Smoky City.
In the Windy City it is predicted
that SAFER Chances understudy at
first base, will ultimately become as
finished player at that corner as
the p. L. himself.
The Athletics are now taking their
last swing around the circle prepa-
tory to finishing the season at home
If they can win little better than
half the games on this trip, they
should have no difficulty IN winning
the pennant.
President Lynch has relented in
the Magee Case and on the 18th
inst, lifted the suspension on that
player. provided that Magee finishes
the season without any more run-ins
with the umpire. With Titus and
Magee back in the game the Phillies
may make q decided squirt.

1t was with regret that we learned
of the resignation of Capt. Alexan-
der, who has held the position of
prison steward for several years
past. The resignation takes place
on the first of next month. Mr..
Alexander has been employed at
the prison in various capacities for
nearly thirty years, and he was well
liked here because Of his kind courte-
oustreatmentto one and all. Now that
he is leaving, we all wish him a
long life and success in whatever
dealings he has in the future. Mr..
Hill has been promoted from usher
to succeed Mr.. Alexander as stew
ard, and the Mirror congratulates
him in his good fortune.

We notice that Percy processes
ignorance as to the meaning of the
word Oxaline," which has on mn
merous occasions, been affixed to his
name, and he desires an explanation
of same. The word, itself, was
quoined by Fra Elbertus, and was
first thought to be a new name for
oleo." However, it developed that
it was but a polite rendering of a
very strong and expressive term
usually applied to those addicted to
the spouting of hot air; said term in
it's original form, not being fit to ap-
pear in print. If, after reading the
above, Percy still remains in the
dark, we would advise that he write
to the chief Roycrofter and demand
an immediate explanation, which we
can assure him will be quickly
forthcoming in plain language, with

Hurrah for the Sandblowers! They
certainly took the hint and exerted
themselves, and the result-they
won the prize, of course. When the
local cohorts marched proudly out
to drill, last Sunday, under the eye
of Warden Wolfer, who had sta
toned himself on the wall to review
them, the Roustabouts, flushed with
the glory Of their victories of the
two previous Sundays and albeit
confident that they were about to
add another to their long list,
marched proudly and serenely up the
street. little thinking that the unas-
Stunning Sandblowers, who by the
way were led on to victory. by
guards Brostrom and Lund, were
about to take a grievious fall out
of them. The day was an ideal one,
and as the legions marched around
and around the circle, keeping step
to the stirring martial music of the
band, it soon became apparent that
the Sandblowers were forging stead
lily ahead. The Roustabouts strove
valiantly to retain their coveted po-
sition, but it was no use for they
were hopelessly outclassed, and as
the cohorts marched back to their
barracks, it was observed that the
Sandblowers, and not the Rousta-
bouts, carried the banner. And all
the time Capt. Whelan stood in a
shady nook and chuckled and chuck
led ever the amusing antics of the
Kangaroos.

Among the cosmopolitan crew
which constitute Capt. Whelan's
working force is a Mexican of UNI
certain age, whose business it is to
scrub the floors of the library and
Mirror Office. At one time in his
career he was soldier under Diaz,
and the memory of that time often
causes him to stop work and gaze
at the ceiling with far-away look.
He had started down stairs the 9TH
er day, with a bucket Of water, and
feeling one of those fits of abstrac-
ton stealing over him, he set his
bucket down and retraced his steps
to the landing where he stood stock
still for several minutes, dead to the
world. Suddenly, he uttered an aw-
full yell and making grab at the
place where his machette ought to
be, he leaped backward. A moment
later he was frantically trying to
untangle himself from the bucket at
the foot of the stairs, and when he
finally arose, plastered from head to
foot with coat of Shiny suds; a
more woe-begone, detected Mexican
was never seen. After delivering
himself of a few choice bits of Cas-
tiliano, he proceeded to clean up the
mess as unconcerned as though such
things were of daily occurrence.

Mr.. Kilograms, whose business it
is to help gather up the letters on
Sunday nights, has bought himself a
small bicycle lamp which he wears
on his left suspender while making
the weekly rounds. It's good
thing to have plenty Of light on the
subject, says he, and now that Oh
have me searchhght, no ones going
to slip one over on me.''

The Reflector, a neat and spicy
little eight page paper, published
weekly by the inmates of the North
Dakota penitentiary, is the latest
addition to our exchange list. It is
but nine weeks old and already has
a number of contributors of marked
ability. 1t is ably edited, and is a
paper that the inmates of any prison
could be proud of. It's motto. Be
hind the clouds the sun still shines, y
contains wealth of truth and cheer,
and could not be improved upon.
The Mirror greets this new arrival
in the field of prison literature and
wishes it long and useful life.

Arrangements are about CON-
pleted for the Minnesota State Pris-
on's exhibit at the state fair, which
will be held the first Of next month.
The Irvine factory will have small
plant, consisting of spinner and
balling machine in operation, to
show the visitors how the famous
prison Irvine is made. Also the va
rious grades of twine manufactured
here. and the material from which
they are made will be on exhibition.
What will probably prove the most
interesting feature of the prisons
exhibit, is the machine upon which
the twine is ound into
balls. By various devices which
have been invented and placed upon
the original machine by those in
charge of the Irvine factory, it has
become almost entirely automatic in
its operation. The operator simply
has to throw a lever to start it go
ing and remove the ball when it is
finished. The farm machinery de-
partment's exhibit will consist of
sample of each of the cheap and
substantial machines manufactured
by them, and these will, no doubt,
prove of especial interest to the
thousands of farmers visiting the
fair.

sburgee for the third straight time.
John Camel is manager aud has fall
len on happy days. OF the Camel
family, all four brothers have been
famous in baseball circles and may.
be likened to the Delehantz brothers.
First baseman Flynn, who two
years ago was ssld to Pittsburg by
st. Paul, has returned to the Saints.
When Pres. Dreysus made the deal
for O'Toole and Kelly he promised
to send several players to St. Paul as
part Of the agreement. Flynn is the
first to report and, as he is popular
with the fans, will find a hearty
welcome.
Danny Shea's men, the Kansas
City Blues, are making a good battle
for first position. He has number
of ex-Pirate players in the lineup
including Maddox, Brandon, Bar
beau and Hyatt. Nevertheless the
Blues will hardly beat out the Mil
lers as the latter have had it on them
all season, and still have number
Of games to play.
The three leading teams in the
National League are still closely
punched. Chicago. New York and
Pittsburg. 1t is very likely the race
will be closely contested right up to
the end of the season. For the rea-
son that the Western teams finish
the season at home the Cubs stand
an excellent chance to win out, with
Pittsburg for second choice.
The American Associations ten
years agreement with the National
Association expires the coming Fall,
and there is a great deal of war
talk in the air. In this respect ru-
mors have been plentiful for two
years or more. 1t is fact that the
Club owners in the American would
like to cut loose from the present ar
rangement as the rules governing
the drafting and sales of players by
the Major leagues are extremely dis
tasteful. The A. A.. also wants a
higher rating than Glass A and after
recent secret sessions have made
known their demands to Pres. Her
mann, of the National Commission.
1t is not likely that the latter body
will accede to the wishes of the A "A.
owners, in which event matters will
become interesting. The Messrs.
Cantillon and Havenor are the po-
SCISSORS of tract of land in Chicago,
on the North Side, large enough for
a modern baseball plant and rumor
has it that if matters are decided
against them the Association will
put a team in the Windy City, and
perhaps Cincinnati and Pittsburg.
But neither side IS anxious for a
baseball war and there is still time
enough for matters to be adjusted to
the satisfaction of both parties.
