Fans who have been restlessly fol lowing the dope circulated about the hot. stove league the past, cold spell, will have their fevered longings quenched Thursday when Manager Jessups band of braves, twenty-eight. 6trong, report here for spring practice. Out of this battalion of hopefuls the boss of the Quakers hopes to pick an outfit which will be in the fight from frontispiece to postscript. j As soon as the recruits report they will be put to work, morning and afternoon, preparing for the first game of the season, next Sunday when the Indianapolis league team shows at Athletic park. Indianapolis has divided its squad in two sections. Whether the colts or vets are billed to play here is not known. Promising Youngsters. Of the new recruits many of them are very promising youngsters and from the material he has at hand Manager Jessup should have no trouble in lining up a fast team. In the outfield Wltherow comes most highly touted, lie has been shipped here by the Terre Haute club. Bissell was In the O. P. league last year and is said to be a classy player. Shinn is the clever little outfielder with the Kokomo team last year. Davis is an amateur from I-ieesburg, O. O. Murray last season played in the California State league. Wiltermood was with the locals last season. He did not make much of an Impression at that time but he explains this by saying that he was out of condition. He assures Manager ilessup that this year he is in the pink. Burns a Star. Burns, the new first baseman comes Sbout the highest recommended of all he new men. Parker, Minzler and llambaugh need no introduction to the local fans. Parker appears to have second base cinched and the same is true in regards to Bambraugh at third base. Minzler is a hot favorite for short field but Hedjuk, Knapp, Hanna, Pea and Fiant will give him a warm fight. Whoever shows the best will land the job. Fiant was with the locals a short time last season but he was compelled to quit playing because of ill health. He reports that he is now ready to play the game of his life. Pitching Staff Strong. Manager Jessup has rounded up a pitching staff which looks particularly strong. Fle'ming will again do reliable work and he will be well assisted by Lett, the clever twirler with North Vernon last year. It will be remembered that Lett. let the locals down handily in a warm contest at Athletic park last fall. He was given a tryout with Indianapolis this spring. Kiel, with Decatur last year, Brown, with Kokomo last year and Mason are another strong trio. Mason was with Manager Jessup at Marion and at Saginaw. King Cole will be with the locals but probably not until June. Waddell Is loaned to the locals by the Indianapolis club. Conner was with the locals last season. Aresmith pitched in the Eastern Illinois league last year and Is reported to be a good man. Moore is a school teacher and formerly a pitcher for the Indiana university team. For catchers, the club will be well looked after. Manager Jessup, of course will do the bulk of the back stop work. His assistant will be pick ed from Unsey and Clark, both, promising' youngsters. RHIm of the Rattler. Toe rattles of th rattlesnake lie edgewise. It to evident that they must &o so. Inasmuch as they are but continuations of the backbone. The snake carries the rattles om the ground except when he raises them to sonnd his warning. This is Tldeneed by the fact that In every snake of any size that is killed the rattles are worn through on the under side. Forest and Stream.

Affairs of the

(By Tort.) Training season for local fans opens today. There will be quite an assortment of noise this afternoon when the rooters who attend the first game of the local season at Beallview park, take the kinks out of their pipes. Thursday night the Richmond polo team will play the fast Zanesville team of the Ohio State league. This contest promises to be one of the most interesting played here this season. Next week games with other Ohio State league teams will be arranged. Manager Jessup yesterday received a telegram from President Ebbetts of the Brooklyn National league team, stating that his Trolley Dodgers were about to invade the north and that they would positively appear in this city Sunday, April 12. Owing to the inability to renew the lease on the present grounds tne members of the Richmond Country club are looking around for a new location. Already plans for a new club house have been drawn up. Owing to the splendid condition of the course the LEAGUE IS PLACED ON A H BASIS Managers of City Baseball Teams Have Permanently Organized. FOUR TEAMS ARE IN. PANHANDLES AND ROSENBLOOMBUNTINS WERE NOT REPRESENTED AT MEETING HELD LAST NIGHT RULES ARE FIRM. Placed on what is expected t prove a solid basis, the permanent organization of the Richmond City Baseball League was eonsumated at a meeting last evening. Roy Compton, who had served as temporary chairman to promote the league, was succeeded in office by Mason T. Bayer, who will be president. George Brehin was elected secretary and Ireasurer. -The constitution and by-laws were adopted by consent and it was agreed all managers shall present their claim lists by April 18. The Rosenbloom and Buntin and Panhandle teams were not represented and were dropped from the league, which now is composed of the Starr Piano. Kibbey. Hoosier Drill and Easthaven teams. No Sunday games will be played. Two games will be played each Saturday, one on tie grounds at Easthaven and the other at Beallview park. The league's organization was accomplished solely in the interest of amateur sport. Every player must be a resident of Wayne township or regularly employed In the city of Richmond. This will avoid the importation of players, such as proved such an objectionable feature to the league two years ago. Two competent umpires will be selected. These will be clothed with full authority and shall have the power to suspend a pla.yer. The president shall have complete jurisdiction and can be overruled only by a threefourths vote of the managers. It is believed prospects for a city league of any kiijd were never better than those of the baseball league. All players will engage solely through their love of the sport and will be assessed for the forfeit money. Holme. Bltmarck, Maislni. The three greatest conversationalists with whom it has been niy good fortune to come into touch were Mazzlni. Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes and Bismarck. Of these Dr. Holmes was the most spirited in the "bel esprit" sense, Bismarck the most Imposing and at the same time the most entertaining In point of wit, sarcasm, anecdote and narratives of historical interest, brought out with rushing vivacity and with lightninglike illumination of conditions, facts and men, but In Marzlni's words there breathed such a warmth and depth, of conviction, such enthusiasm of faith in the sacredness of the principles professed and of the aims pursued by him, that it was difficult to resist such a power of fascination. From "Reminiscences of a Long Life," by Carl Schurz, iu McOIure's. Cure For Insomnia. A widely known clubman whose family is known to take earnest exception to his late hours recently encountered his physician on the street. "How are you feeling these days?" asked the medico. "Very we'.l. indeed, thank you," replied the clubman, "but I'm a bit worried about my wife, doctor. She suffers dreadfully from Insomnia. I have been on the point for some time of consulting you about her case. What would yon suggest?" "You might try getting home earlier," observed the physician. New York Times. Bailnru, Business is not only a grat civllizer of nations and of peoples, but also the greatest educator and developer of character In the world, for it is a perpetual school, a great life university where we do not go to recite and hear lectures for three or four hours a day for a few years, but where we are constantly studying aad practicing almost from the cradle to the grave.

club members regret very much that a new location must be secured. It is probable that there will be a large concourse of bugs at Athletic park Thursday when the first practice of the season is indulged in by the Richmond players. All the fans are anxious to get, a peep at Jessup's hopefuls. Harry Hay, who has just had a collection of tinware attached to him by the Indianapolis management after a short tryout, wants to catch on with Richmond. His application has been laid on the table where it will probably mould. In a few days Casey Horn will leave for Quincy where he will do slab work for the Iowa State league team, located in that city. Richmond fans wish him good luck. Burns, the first baseman Ala nager Jessup has selected for the Quakers, can't wait for the day appointed for the players to report here. He has notified Jessup that he will cast anchor here Monday. LEAD BOWLERS Averages of All Are Very Good. At the present time E. Hunt and It. Carman are leading the bowlers in the city bowling league each with an average of ICS pins. E. King. B. Martin and Fosler are just a nose behind these two leaders. Hunt's average shows up better than that of Carman as Hunt has played twelve more games than his clever rival. The averages of all the bowlers who have participated in five or more games follows: Player Games Avg. E. Hunt ;;u his It. Carman L'l K.S E. King .. ::; i;7 B. Martin :;; n;; Fosler 21 1U W.

Edwin Booth once told a little company of hie intimates that the most romantic, memorable and delightful engagement that he ever played in his life was one in which he was obliged to paste his own bills. It was in the early years of his career, long before his famous hundred nights' run of "Hamlet" at the Winter Garden in New York, and at a time when romance and enthusiasm were still young In his heart. He had played with varying success in many parts of the country, journeying even to San Francisco and the few camps in the gold bearing country that were large enough to supply him with audiences. Here he had done so well that he felt encouraged to try his fortune in still remoter climes and accordingly embarked from the Golden Gate for the Hawaiian Islands, where. In the Honolulu theater and under the direct patronage of the dark brown royalty that then held sway, he played, an engagement to which he looked back in after years with much pleasure and satisfaction. "But after the play was over," said Booth, "I found it necessary to climb down from the high plane of art to common ground and take steps to announce my repertory to tbe public. This was done almost entirely by way of posters, and I could not trust the job to the native boys, because they always ate the paste and threw away the bills. My actors would not do it, because they were such eminent artists and thoroughbred gentlemen, so I had to do It myself. Many a time have I taken off the costume of Iago or Hamlet or Othello and gone out with a bucket of paste and a roll of paper to 'bill the town,' as we say here in America, for my next appearance." Tne Robin and the CateiylUar. The robin hops along In the furrow and picks up worms as the farmer plows, which it eats itself or carries to its nest as food for the young robins. The robin prefers smooth coated worms, such as the common earthworm, but If such food fs; scarce it does not disdain the tnztj eatirpillar. It is an evil day for the caterpillar when a robin strike 1L The roNn picks It up asl shakes it and sbs&es It until it shakes the spines out of It tbefur, as the children call the caterpUlar's fuzzy coating leaving tbe caterpillar bare In patches and sometimes all over and shaken all out of shape. Then the robin eats it or carries It off to feed Its young. The Danish flag is the oldest national emblem at present In use. The design has remained unchanged since the thirteenth century.

ALL STAR T

EM

OF CITY LEAGUE Picking of Such an Aggregation a Task, Owing to Many Good Players. HENLEY IS THE BEST. vjivcn nuiLL uvti-s all uintKSi AS RUSH ONE BEALLVIEW MAN GIVEN PLACE ON FIRST TEAM.

TWO ALL STAR TEAMS OF THE CITY LEAGUE. First Team. Rush Henley, Kibbeys. Rush Bulla, Greeks. Center Fetzor, Kibbeys. Half Karns, Crescents. Goal Moore, Beallview. Second Team. Rush Nolan. Empires. Rush Bayer, Kibbeys. Center Jones, Empires. Half Newman, Kibbeys. Goal Lancaster, Empires.

(By Tort.) Picking an all star first team and an all' star second team of city polo league players is no easy task, in the first place, because there is so much good material to chose from and in the second place, because what one man thinks may not meet the views of many others. Therefore in picking the two teams as printed above the writer has consulted with a number of people who are well versed on the fine points of the game and who have been constant attendants at city league games. The players picked by the majority of the people consulted with, have been given places on the two teams. Young Henley was the unanimous choice of everyone for first rush on the first team. It was almost a toss up between Bulla and Bayer for second rush on this team. Nolan also had many admirers. Fetzer has played in splendid form at center all season and earns his place on the first team. A close rival of Fetzer was Jones. Karns and Newman both played nicely at half back but owing to his size Karns is the most suitable selection for this place on the first team. Notwithstanding the fact that he had the misfortune to be connected with the tailend team Moore starred at goal. With the Kib-

The Beallview team has organized for the season by electing Anton Stolle Jr., manager. The games will be played on the south side grounds. The first game of the season will be played today against the Nationals. It will be in the nature of a practice game for both teams but will be the first semiprofessional game of the local season.
