Those who like a good game of base

ball are viewing with a great deal of

satisfaction the signs of activity of the

part of Richmond's two baseball man

agers Messrs. Huckins and Jessup.

Manager Jessup is still securing sub

scriptions to stock in his company and

lacks but a few hundred dollars of hav

ing the entire sum, while Manager

Huckins spent the day in Richmond

making preparations for opening his

season.

Manager Huckins is perhaps farther

advanced with his plans than Jessup,

as he has already leased his grounds, signed a number of players and booked several games. How-ever Manager Jes

sup is moving rapidly and one night

thus week a meeting of stockholders

in the company will be held and a permanent organization effected. The

meeting will be in the Commercial club rooms. Manager Huckins while here went to the Athletic park in? order to see what work would have to be done there. He

has decided to have one sheet baseball score card, and Nicholson & Co., will probably do the printing. Contracts were let for considerable baseball paraphernalia. The players Huckins has already secured, are pitcher Gatch. of Cincinnati, who played with Middletown, O., last season, first base Huckins, who turned down offers from the Michigan and Virginia state leagues this year; short

stop Minzler, of Germantown; who wa3 wanted by the Texas State league; third base Stines, shortstop for Huckins' Shiloh team last year; left field. Felthaus of Hartford City; center field

Morganthaler, of last year's Shiloh team, will be given a try out and right

field Blank, of Cedarvllle college. Ev

BOARD DISTRIBUTES ROCKEFELLER FUND

j It is estimated that 3,000,000 bushels of grain that should have been moved weeks ago is lying in the elevators of the state while the owners wring their hands in futile rage and see bankruptcy staring them in the face. The failure of the railroads that traverse Indiana to furnish cars to the

grain dealers of the state has brought about the most desperate situation, it is declared, that has confronted the

dealers for years.

"Thousands of bushels of this grain

is rotting daily," said a buyer. "A

great deal of it even, though cars were furnished right now would not bring half what the dealers paid for it. This thing is going to drive many grain dealers into other lines of business and

will send many of them into bank

ruptcy.''

clared that the elevators of Illinois contain 5,000,000 bushels of grain that should have been moved long ago.

"The Indiana dealers," one buyer

says, "have really had no car service since last November."

Representatives of the Indiana

Grain Dealers association and a member of the State Railroad commission will attend the Chicago conference. The freight men of the different rail

roads are to be present.

Dealers Complain by Letter. A few days ago officers of the Indi

ana Grain Dealers' association sent out a circular letter to the different owners of elevators asking them to state the condition of their grain and give an estimate as to how much was on hand.

Nearly 200 replies to this letter were

received at the headquarters of the association. Replies came from every

part of the state and showed a deplorable condition of affairs.

Dealers ay that to make a bad mat

ter worse the railroad companies have announced that beginning with April 1 a new schedule of grain rates will go into effect. This schedule advances the shipping rate 2 cents on the bushel. Grain dealers charge that the attitude of the Indiana legislature toward

the railroads is responsible for thisj

threatened increase in rates.

ON AFTER THE BOARD HAD CONSIDERED FORTY APPLICANTS FOR MONEY.

New York, March 27. The first distribution by the general education board since it received John D. Rockefeller's most recent contribution of $32,000,000 was made at a meeting of the board when conditional gifts totalling $625,000 were made to five educational institutions. The money was divided as follows: Yale university, $300,000; Princeton university, $200,000; Bowdoin college Brunswick, "le., $50,000; Colorado college, Colorado Springs, $50,000; Miltsaph college, Jackson, Miss., $25,000. After making these appropriations the board voted to give a total of $42,500 to colored schools, the names of which were not made public lest the help of the board should tend to dis

courage gifts to these schools from other sources. Based Upon a Condition. "With the five principal gifts is the condition that the institution shall

raise a specified sum independent of the board's appropriation. Yale and Princeton are each to raise $2,000,000; Colorado college, $500,000; Bowdoin,

On next Tuesday evening Oliver P. Nusbaum's Sunday school class of the First English Lutheran church will give a supper to the members of the Young Men's committee of the Y. M. C. A. The young ladies of the class

are making great preparations for the supper and the young men, according

to reports, are equally anxious to ."get to it." The supper is given that the

young ladies may partially show their appreciation of. the work performed by

the young men during the campaign which is nearing a close.

In view of the fact that all the members of the committee will meet at' the church Tuesday evening, the regular committee which is generally held on Monday night, will be held following the supper. Plans for finishing the campaign in a blaze of glory will be laid, as all the members are confident the people of Richmond who are willing to give to the cause will not let the offer of Daniel G. Reid down, without making an effort to complete the $100,000. It is thought there will be at least seven more men in the city who will donate $2,500 rather than see the cause fail for lack of such donations. Claimed to be a Certainty. The provisional gift of Mr. Reid has so enthused all those interested In the welfare of the Y. M. C. A. that it Is claimed an association in this city is a certainty. The gift of Mr. Reid does not mean the people of Richmond will not still have to do their duty, as it is of vital importance that a number of other large subscriptions be made. The committees are working on the Henley offer and expect to secure the entire ten subscriptions, necessary to his gift, within the course of the next two weeks. ,

At the Chicago conference the railroad representatives will be asked to hold off the increase in rates for thirty days in order that, grain men may have a chance to get rid of the great accumulation of grain that is now in their elevators.
