Of city. keokuk cannot hope to advance

BRIDGEPORT PLAYERS
 ROUND UP FOR sPR|N|
Some Arrive Saturday and Nor
 are Expected Today.

Bridgeport, April 6.-Bridgeporl fans are eagerly waiting for th{ players to drop into town. Some arl rived Saturday and many, more ard expected today. When the entir( squad is rounded up there will bd about twenty-five to choose from, ac1 cording to the calculations of Man1 ager Jake Boultes.
 The wedding out process won't bed gin until along toward the latter part of the week. Today several men ard filling in the first base side of thd diamond at Newfield park and thd ground will probable not be in shape for practice until the middle of the week. Monday the players will linn \ Der up a bit, passing the pill around and possibly cantering around the park. The same program in a little bit more strenuous form will be in force the following day, after which batting practice will be added
 Jake was talking some, yesterday of having Dan Morgan's crowd of boxers over from Captaip Bonds quarters for little pick up game, probably Wednesday or Thursday. 1t would be good practice for the boys, he says.
 Only one more possible candidate for the team has loomed up, and he's a young high school boy of Pittsfield. Mass, Phil Gowey, by name, who wouldn't be available to the team, if he signed, until the latter part of June. He's a six footer, weighs about 1S0 pounds, and has a high recom- mendation as purveyor of smoke and benders from Pitcher Cy Ferris. Jake wrote to him last evening and will look over his stock in trade on his first visit to Zellers town.

STATION STICKS TO FEDS
Cannot Be Induced Even to Talk
 Things Over With Baker.

Philadelphia, April 6.-With the arrival of William J. Shettsline. busi- ness manager of the PhiIlies. from . Shreveport, La:, the hopes of local National Leaguers fell in regard to the recapture of Tom Seaton, one of their star hurlers, who jumped to the Federals.~
 Shettsline in spite of reports to the contrary had several opportunities to talk to sseaton. at Shreveport but he was unable to make his former star see that any advantage would accrue by returning to Philadelphia to talk over the situation with Charley Dooin and President Baker of the Fhillies. "Yes, had number of talks with Seaton," said Shettsline "but could not make him see where he would gain anything by coming back here, even for a talk with Baker They have him pretty well sewed up there's no doubt about that. You see, he can get anything he wants almost from those people. Even if We should try to enjoin him and sue ceed in preventing him from playing with the Federal league he would get his money and bonus anyway, so he'll stick with them

BRADLEY SILENT OVER TRIP.
Tip Tops Manager or Today or
 Another Secret Journey.

Columbia, $. C., April 6-Bill Brad- ley, manager of the Brooklyn Federal league team, returned to Columbia yesterday, after week of scouting. He said he had nothing to give out regarding his trip, more than to say that he is pretty tired after being on railroad trains for practically the whole seven days he was away, and that in this time he visited several places. It was expected that the Tip Top pilot would have some redhot information to give out upon his re- turn to Columbus, but. such did not come to pass.
 After spending one day in camp, Manager Bradley took to the road again this morning. He goes to New Orleans on a flying trip, expecting to return to Columbia late Wednesday or Thursday He did not announce the purpose of his visit
 4Artie Holman had charge of the club while Manager Bradley was away last week and he will continue to run things during Bradley's visit to New Orleans.
 Spring training probably will end Thursday and Friday the squad will leave for Pittsburg, Pa, where the Brookly mites open the season April 13.

GIANTS WIN OUT IN ATTENDANCE. BATTLE. Draw Crowd Of 4,000 WhIIe Fel-
 erals Get Nol More Than 800.

x New Orleans, April 6.--While the Giants were beating the Pelicans yesterday the Chicago Federals and : semi-professional team Were prov ing a poor counter attraction. The clash for patronage was decidedly in favor of organized ball. There was an attendance of about 4,000 at the Giants-New Orleans game, whereas reports of the outpouring at the oth- CT battle had it all the way from 300 to 800. How not much else was expected.
 The victory for the Giants was their ninth straight and as their re- cent battles with the minor league teams have been going, the Giants won handily and the under classmen had trouble scoring. It was a placid and not interesting fracas. The Pel- jeans had it on the Giants in fielding, but were surpassed in other respects. The only excitement, Which is a strong name for it, was in the latter innings, when Fletcher and Burns managed to help the Pelicans to runs by booting and mutfing.
 Fletcher's errors were eXcusable perhaps, because the New York i'm field nearly rusted for want of some thing to do. The only man on the whole team who had an assist exceut Tesreau was Stock, with one. On most of the ground balls that were playable Tesreau made a barrier of himself and made an infield superflu- ous.

DARING RUSSIAN
FOILS the GERMANS
By RuSe He Locales Position
of Their Trenches.

Pctro9rad. ON one occasion at night
during the German siege Of the fort
rcsS of Naugorod Russian battery
approached within two miles of the
German trenches and succeeded in con
cealinG itself. Ii could not, however
see the enemy. Then Il Russian sol
dier, taking Il field telephone attached
to the wire to the rear. went nearly
two miles through the forest.
Reaching the open country the Rus
sian dragged himself along the ground
until within Il hundred yards Of the
Germans. where. in full view of the
enemy he stood upright.
The enemy. recognizing him MS Il
Russian, opened fire. The soldier fell
at the first shot and lay quite still. At
that moment the russian guns opened
fire, and their aim was remarkably ne
curate. Not single shell missed the
German trenches.
As Il matter of fact. the daring Rus
sian was not dead or even wounded
All the time he lay on the ground he
WAS tclephonng his battery, ANA finally
the Germans were compelled to aban
don their position. The hero of this
exploit has been decorated with the
cross of st George.
An army order promulgated on Oct
26 by the crown prince of bavaria, Mt
or warmly congratuatng his troops on
their successes, says.
Soldiers, the eyes of the whole
world are now directed upon YOU. You
must not now lose your energy m the
fight with our most hated foe You
must finally break his pride
He is already tired out Already
many officers and men have voluntarily
surrendered. but the greatest and de
cisiye battle remains still before you
You must sustain it even to the end
"Thc enemy must be crushed You
will pcrsevcrc. You will not let him
escape your fan@s.
eve must conqucr-we will conquer
we shall conquer"
