pertence In ThU City A Team That
Greatly tntereat Lancastrians.
If the new Inter-State League of bait
tluba la the succeim that It la expected te
he there will be .one dub In it that Lanoas Laneas
trlans will have Intereat In for many
reasons, and that la Alteena. 'There Is no
town In the atate that at present has as
many former Lancaster people, who are
interested In this kind of sport, in It as
Alteena, and there seems te be a bretherly
feeling. Anether reason Is that the Alteena
team will be managed by a Lancaster man
who mede his first reputation as a ball
player right In this geed old city, where lie
has as many friends as any man In It,
That man ts William Zecher, who will net
only have charge of the team but will
have a financial interest in It, which
means a great deal. I. C. Mlshler, the
ether principal mau Intheclubis a Lan
caster boy. lie waa born and bred here
and is a son of the late Corener Mishler.
fro left here years age te go te Alteena,
where he is new in business and Is ene of
the most popular young men In the Moun
tain city. He has a geed eye for base ball
players and he gees into the business with
a will that shows that he has bleed, whetlier
he wins or loses. Anether reason why
Lancaster folks should be interested in the
success of this team Is that they have sev
eral players of this city in It of whom they
are very fend and when games are played
at Penryn, which Is the closest place for
Lancaster people te go, they will be eh
hand te encourage thorn. Lancaster has
turned out seme fine ball players and the
people here are always ready te stand by
them. i
Manager Zecher, who will have charge
of the new Alteena team, has been in Lan
caster for several weeks.. He is bearding
at the City hotel, and lias succeeded in
signing his whele team right irem this
city. He has used the wire quite liberally,
and new has a nine which the Mountain
city will likely have geed reason te be
proud of In the future. If anybody thinks
tbore are flics en Hilly Zecher, they don't
knew him, and it will probably enlighten
the people here te knew who this popular
young ball player has signed te be his
associates en the green diamond during
the coming year.
The first man of whom we will soak is
Manager Zecher himself, and a geed pic pic
ture of him can be found right here :
This brilliant young player started his
caroer right In this city, and he came from
a let of ball players who in years geno by
made their headquarters out about the old
Beading depot. When an amateur he
played w 1th the old Mountain Beys and
ether clubs that wero popular. He also
belonged te the Irensides, way back in
the yours before anybody thought that It
would evor be a professional club. In 188.1
the Ironsides tUrted as an amaleur team,
but bofero the season closed, It was a pre
fessienal and Included among its mem
bers many well known professionals, who
are en the diamond " for dust," and are
doing well.Mr. Zoclier started in at the
beginning of the season as a catcher, but
afterwards was placed at short step where
he did brilliant work. In 18S1 he was
with the Llttlestewn club for a tinie, but
came beck te the Ironsldes, who wero then
in the EastornI-eague, and at the clese of
the season helped thorn te win several very
important games. In 1885 he was with
Westminster, (Md.), making a splen
did roeerd. In 1580 he opened
with a team in Lancaster, which
eoen went te pieces for want of
backing nnd management, and he
went te Alteena, wliore he finished tl.e
seasen. He played the early part of 1837
with Alteena, but the team was transferred
te Canten, Ohie, where he romatned the
season, standing away up at the clese. In
1883 and 18S9 he played in Canten, where
he. was a trcmondeus favorlte. Last
season he led the short steps of
the Trl-State Leaguo, and in this thore
were few betler players than lie. Mr.
Zecher Is net only a geed ball player him
self but lie knows geed men when he sces
them. Cress, of last year's Athletics, San San
ders, Bauswlne and many ether geed
ones knew that Billy Zecher gave them
pointers before they had any idea of being
cennected with the fine teams they are
at prcsent. Mr. Zoclier will take care of
Alteena's short next year, and Ifi he don't
de it right he will surprise his Laucaster
friends. He had a geed business in Can Can
eon, whete he had hosts of, friends, but left
it te go te Alteena
Of the players that Manager Zecher has
signed for next year we will new speak.
Dan Menree, who comes lately from the
Canten club, where Mr. Zecher played last
year, hails rrem waiernnry, cennecucui.
He Is a splendid pltolier, and last season
be did remarkable work. In a gaine be
tween the Cleveland l.oague club and
Canten bofero the season opened he pitched
tlfteen Innings and the score was 4 te 3, lu
favor of Cleveland. He also pitched
against the Philadelphia Leaguo team, when
tbescore was 2 te 1, in favor of Philadelphia.
He Is a long-laster and can pitch four
games a week right along.
A. it. lieam, the ether pitcher, U from
Latrobe. He Is the man that the Pittsburg
League team wanted last year, but his Idea
of salary was tee much for thorn. He has
a record of btrlking out twenty-soven men
in ene game. He Is one of the fastest
pitchers lu the country,
Of the catchers first comes Lolghteu
Iwtter known as "Whltey" fiihseu, of this
city. He is a strapping big young fellow,
who has played mi the Philadelphia League
and Athletic clubs, where he noer had
half a chance. He was also in the New
Kngland League, but last year he did
better work than ever wluyi he was en the
Lancaster team, of the Middle States
Lwgue. He caught and hit well, and no
juau can say he la afraid of any pitcher.
He had plenty of offers last year alter the
Lancaster club disbanded, but he is net the
kind of a mau that wants te walk home
from faraway towns, and no one blames
him for that. He is a sober, upright yeun
player, who tries te de the beat he can i
the dab he;is with, and Lancaster people
will Touch for him. lie plays ether pest
tlens m well as behind the bat and is a
dandy en first base.
"Kld"Sumers, another catcher, comes
from Terente, and Is late of the Hprlngfield
team, lie is a hard hitter, splendid
thrower and fine fielder.
Harry llahn, the first baseman, is an
other Lancaster man. He has played
with the Active team,, of this city, and
dabs la the West, lie is a man of the
Jake Virtue stripe, and plays for all he is
worth at all timer. Last year he waa In
the Lebanon team, and thoae peeple don't
knew new why they let him go. Besides
being a first baseman, be can go behind
the bat for any pitcher, and he la a first
class reliable man with a bright future.
Frank Hatchings, the second baseman,
comes from Burlington, New Jersey.
Like Philadelphia, Jersey has great seli for
growing ball players, and this is a line
product. Hutchingslsa geed hitter and
base runner, and the best evidence that he
knows hew te All his position is that
several ether clubs were after him, but
Manager Zecher was tee quick for them.
Charlie Aloett, the third baseman, Is net
unknown here. In 1883 he was with the
Aathrocite club of Pottsville, and since
that time he has been en the St. Leuie and
ether dandy teams. In 1881 he was in
Alientewn and last year he played in
Mansfield, Ohie. He was second among
the third baseinen of the Trl-State League,
but should have been first, aa he played
many mere games than his competitor.
He Is a geed hitter and runner.
Jee Mcintosh, left fielder, is an Alteena
boy. He is quite young and will yet
make his mark. He played in the Johns
town team of '87 and made a geed record,
and people who knew him speak highly in
his pralse.
O'Brien, the centre fielder, is from Balti
more and he played with Mansfield last
year, which was a team of hard hitters. In
1887 he was In Alientewn, with Beatln, the
pitcher, new of Clevelaud. He is a hard
left-handed hitter.
The team is com pic te with the exception
of aright fielder and Mari'ager Zocber will
have a man for that position in a few days.
Alteena will have a team that the' people
will be proud of ; and they leek like pen
nant winners.
Trouble en the "Mlle Sqnare."
Trouble has broken out between the in
tending settlers en the "mile square" at
Plerre, S. I).; and the Indians and half
breeds of the reservation. The latter, anti
cipating the immediate openlng of the
reservation, have moved In large numbers
en the frentier, and are cutting all the weed
around the Bad river and the Missouri and
hauling it back into the lands they intend
te take up according te the tonus of the
Sioux bill. The settlers object te this, and
en Thursday an attempt waa mode by
them te step the Indians, and for a while ft,
looked as if there would be a serious battle.
Troops were immediately dispatched
across Bad river, and immediately drove
the sottlers bark te the space allowed
thorn. The Indians, though net en the
war path, doclared that they would fight
for their rights.
The Northwestern officials, with their
chief onglneor, are running lines across
the river and rosurveying the famous
"mlle seuare." They new declare that tbev

X FUNNY DOG.
He Has More Frlenda Than Some Candl Candl
dates for Mayer, But Ain't Proud.
There Is a llttle black deg who seems te
be a tramp about town ju st tiew. He spends
most of his tlme en North Queen stroet and
can almost always be found aomewhore In
the neighborhood of the Pennsylvania rail
read station. He has no naine and no home.
and neither of these luxuries worry him a
bit. He Is friendly te overybody but cares
for nobody. He knows all the hackmen
and hetel porters and they think the world
of htm. Although en the best of terms
with the poeplo he will net stay long with
ene person. He has a fondness for follow
ing baby carrlage and it is his dellght te
soeanurso approaching. He will accom
pany them around town, but usually sticks
te the principal streets. Quite a number of
poeplo, who have sympathy ferlthe deg,
have undertaken te reform him and get him
out of his bum ways, but It is no use.
Officer Wash Pyle, of the railroad police,
took him home roeontly and penned him
up for several days with the hepe that he
would de better. It was no geed, he we ver,
and as seen as he was able he get out and
ran away; new he don't knew Wash. The
deg Is wonderfully fend of running after
and barking at horses. He has been
run evor by everything but the read
rollerandlho great wender Is that he has
net been killed. Day bofero yesterday he
waa downed by a wagon, at the wheels of
which he was barking; he Is new lame
but net unhappy. He has a disposition
that makes everybedy llke him and thore
are few" peeple, If any, about the station
who will allow him te be hurt. He can
take his part In a fight, unless the ethor
deg is much blgger and he is thcu used up
se that it reminds ene of shaking dice. He
often turns up covered with dust but
smiling und happy. Wliore he eats Is a
mystery and no ene knows where he gees
at night. After dark his whereabeuts are
a mystery, but he is always en duty early
In the morning.

Last night for the first tlme In a month

took a rest for a tlme and made
way for comle opera. It was the
"King's Foel," by Conreld's company.
The troupe Is qulte large, but the show,
although geed, Is net worth the money
charged. The e-Hra has a wearisome sort of
plot and It docs net amount te much. Miss
Helen Bertram as Prince Julius has a geed
veice and she acted well, but the llttle lady
w he made the hit of the ovenlng was pretty
and piquant Delia Fex, who Is young in
years but an old favorlte here. Years age
she visited Lancaster In opera at museum
prices. She Is just 11 full of fun as ever
and the poeplo wero with her from the start.
Her song, "My Love 1h Fulr Columbia."
gained for her numerous encores. Jeseph
W. Herbert, as Carillon, the court Jester,
was excellent, but his singing was marred
by the erchestra, which Hocmed anxious te
drown him, Pattl Stoue as Feltsu
VAmeres, Jennl Hei liar th as the Countess
Charles F. Ijing as the 1'rothenolary and
ethers wero geed. The choruses wero
strong and full, and the orchestra played
as though It was, at tinies.
During the evening eight lady fencers
appeared, giving startling exhibitions with
foils, daggers aud swords. A march by
young women In tights was a fine feature
of the show.
