The St. Louis club has signed a new first baseman named 'MuFadden. Catcher Smink has Jumped his con tract with the New Castle club, and left to Join the Lancaster team. Two weeks ago the manager paid a fine of $50 for Smlnk when he whipped a Jamestown street car conductor. When he left he had fully drawn his pay. A telegram from Syracuse, N. T.t says that Proprietor Kuntzsch of that team, was negotiating with Pittsburg for Short Stop Mortte Cross, who came from that town to Pittsburg last year. The message further says that Syra cuse is confident of landing Cross ver; soon. It Is a singular fact that all the talk of changes in the league circuit comes from gentlemen who haven't a dollar at stake. There Is only one way to get Louisville to quit, and that is by buy ing their franchise. If the Bourbons refuse to sell that closes up all avenues for argument. As long as Louisville pays her bills and the present articles of agreement remain in force there can be no squeeze. Cincinnati Post. Provisional dates have been practic ally agreed upon by Manager Burns and Murray for the proposed Stelnert cup contest between the 'first and sec ond clubs after the close of the Eastern league season. The dates are Sept. 17, 18 and 19 In this city, 20. 21 and 22 In Providence, with a seventh game In some city to be mutually agreed upon In case it Is necessary. 'Naturally, no further arrangements will be made un til It Is known whether Springfield and Providence can hold the positions they now occupy, or whether some other club pr clubs will be fllglhle to play for the cup. The race Is not run yet, by any means. Springfield Union.

Tho ftreen Ridge Senators defeated the Actives, of Provirlence, on Mnnday by a score of 14 to 13.

About 200 persons wltri'- cd the trot ting nd running events, which began at 3 o'clock, but only a dozen or mure saw the last heat of the 2.30 class race, which was by fur the most Interesting of the day. Nine horses participated In all of the heats of the unfinished 2.50 class race, but most of them broke so often or were so distanced that they added very little to the spirit of the con tests. The first heat, which was run on Saturday, wan won by Bessie Madl son. owned by W. V. Norton. The race was to lie mile heats, best three In live, but only three were necessary yester day.

Bay Tom beenme so spirited that the rider, a boy, could not stop him until he hud run two laps nt lively pace, and was tired out when the word "go"-was given. The boy was more exhausted than the horse, and a new rider mounted. Two half-mile heats were run. Boh Lee finished first easily In both In the slow time of 54 seconds and 1.02 min utes respectively . Bob Lee Could Have Bono Better, Bob Lee could have done several sec onds better, If the rider did not hold him back for the purpose of letting the field close in n him and thun pull away again. These tactics were being used by the rider on the turn Just above the stretch In the second heat, when Roily S. made a spurt on the home stretch with apparently a good show of winning, but Just at thnt mo ment his left foreleg was seen to col lapse and the race was ended and won as far as Rody 8. was concerned. A tendon was broken or torn from across his fetlock or knee, evidently, for he' was unable to use the leg and It was necessary to support It while he limped from the track. The trotting In the 2.30 class races was better than In the 2.50. Seven horses started, but only five trotted the five heats. Gold Seeker was withdrawn after the second heat, and Morgan Thaller after the fourth. The entries were: Morgan Thaller, rh. g., P. C. Hazzard. Keely. b. g., Frank Hannls. Gold Seeker, b. h., W. C.

Nellie B became a favorite after win ning the first heat and continued a favorite throughout the race on account of her pretty and clean trotting. Keely took the second heat by a length, and also third, Nellie B. breaking on the home stretch, after having a winning lead. ' The latter mare was trotting quite steadily, however, and redeemed herself by winning In the fourth heat, Keely coming under the wire third, although breaking three times In the mile. It required the fifth heat to decide the race and a very pretty contest It was between Nellie B and Keely. Nellie had the pole at the start and kept . It during the whole mile. At the quarter pole Keely had a slight lewd, but lost It by breaking at the half; again at the three-quarter polo Keely forged ahead, but could not main tain It against 'Nellie B's steady trot ting, and came In a good second.

The track was heavy and muddy in several' places. The po(e horse was at somewhat of a disadvantage than or dinarily because he was compelled to trot two yards or more from the fence to avoid the mud. Horses with a pacing gait could not stride as easily as tho trotters, Bauer's band discoursed sweet music before and during the races. , THE ROPED ARENA. iMIke Small, the English bantam weight, who was matched to fight John ny Connors, of Springfield, III., will ar rive In thin country next week.

Aug. 27. Attorney Gen eral Crane this morning handed down nis opinion in the Corbett-Fltzslmmons prize fighting case In reply to an Inter rogatory of Sheriff Caball, of Dallas county, as to whether he had any legal right to shoot down people while at tempting to suppress the fieht. The attorney general's reply Is to the enect that prizefighters, referees, etc.. constitute an unlawful assemblage. and the statues of the state makes spe cial provisions ror tne dlsbandment or such unlawful assemblages, that the sheriff Is empowered to summon a posse or even the militia to his aid, and in case the fighters will not cease their unlawful conduct then the statutes specially provide that homicide is Just lilable when absolutely necessary to' suppress riot or unlawful gatherings. The attorney general concludes his opinion by saying that while he does not believe it necessary, still If it Is necessary the statutes provide that the sheriff can use firearms In dia banding any unlawful assemblage. THE iTaPPY MEDIUM. Dark and low'rlng clouds hang o'er us And the songster stills his voice; Even nature's happy chorus No more bids our heart rejoice. Pessimism, dark and frowning, Heems to dominate our fate; Discontent the whole is crowning When tho home team strikes this gait. But we look bark on the sighing And the lakes of tear we've shed, And we smile at all tihe crying And ths gloom that hung o'er head; And lit makes the day seem clearer, Even though our Joy came latu; And our wish for life Is dearer gait. - . this strikes when the home team Life Is marked by such transitions, From the grave to greatest Joy; Light and stradow shift positions Gold soon changes to alloy; There's of course a strong attraction In the paths that fluctuate, But we find most satisfaction When the homo team strikes this gait Annur cnapmsn, WAR IN CUBA.

Twenty boxes of cigars and several bottles of Imported wines were taaen An envelope containing a check for $100, presented by an Italian the day before, was opened, but the check was left. The burglary was a very daring one, inasmuch as people are passing the place at all hours. No clue to the iden tity of the thieves has been obtained but several are being suspected. An attempt was also made to enter the dwelling of Patrick Cadden, on the same street, but the men were fright ened away.
