WITH it3 BALLS
The St. Paul Team of 1890 as
It Will Open the New
Season.
Sketches of Manager Thomp
son and His Dozen Young"
Players.
The Management Has Faith
in the Outcome of the
Contest,
But the Public Is Inclined to
Question the Team's
Prowess.
The best that can be said of the St.
Paul team of lb'JO is that it is an experi
ment. The management looks on ie
with hope, but it must be admitted that
the public regards it as the weakest ag
gregation of ball players that has repre
sented the city in several years. What
the club will amount to. however, is
wholly a question of the future. The
Management may be able to surprise
the emnks by getting a great game of
ball out of its players. Th<s untried men
jtre numerous, but they all come to
the Minnesota capital highly rec
ommended, and some of them aye
scheduled to enter the class phenomena.
Will they do it? There's the rub. A
year ago, uheu the "stonewall" infield
— Werrick, Pickett and lieilly— was an
nounced, the public was thorouehly con
fident of its prowess and stood ready to
applaud its clock-like precision of move
ment. This year's infield— Cantillon,
Burks and Phillips— is of a widely dif
ferent stamp. It may develop into some
thing wonderful; it may prove aflat
failure. Only time can solve the prob
lem. In the meantime, the Globe
wishes the management good fortune
with its green timber. Short sketches
or Manager Thompson and his players
are given below.
A. M. Thompson, the manager of the
team, has been interested in the nation
al game in St. Paul for a decade or more.
In the latter
part of the sea
son of 1884—
when the dia
lii ond -tipped
twel ve-club
N orth western
league was
a live — Mr.
Thompson as
sume d the
in a n a gement
of the local
team and pi
loted it, until
the league
died, when he
took it on a
trip to Cincin
nati. St.Louis,
Kansas City
«nd Omaha. In 1886 the six-club North
western league, composed of St. Paul,
Minneapolis. Diiluth, Eau Claire, Osh
kosh and Milwaukee, was launched, and
Mr. Thompson managed the St. Paul
team for Mr. Barnes for a month, leav
ing it to go into other business, lv 1887
Mr. Thompson purchased an interest in
the team and became president of the
association. The next year Aaron Pou
peny purchased a third interest,
and in August, 1889. M. J. Roche
purchased Mr. Barnes' interest. Mr.
Thompson then became manager, Mr.
Poupeny president and Mr. Roche secre
tary, the positions which they now hold.
Mr. Thompson is a quiet but firm man
ager, who watches his players carefully,
Insisting that they shall do good team
work, keep good hours and give saloons
the cold shoulder. Speaking of his
team Mr. Thompson said: "1 have not
been (loin? much talking, but I am very
confident in the ability of my men to
Jili the bill. Minneapolis and Sioux
City can take the pennant on paper if
they like, but the St. Paul team will be
in the fight right, from the start. 1 have
in Brougliton and Farmer the two very
best backstops in the Western associa
tion, and Meekin and Mains are right in
the front rank of pitchers. In the
field, it is, of course, hard to say pre
cisely what the men will do. Burks I
consider quite as good a short stop as
Pickett. He doesn't hit the ball quite
as hard, but he hits It safely, and is a
clean fielder. Phillips en third will
prove a success, and Cnntillon is highly
recommended. Daly will cover left
lield in good shape, and Glasscock will
at first go to right field. Abbey will be
given a trial in the outfield. All in all,
the team is a good one, and as soon as I
can get the men playing together 1 will
keep them all guessing."
The team will be captained by "old
reliable 1 ' "Billy" Hawes, who will take
care of first base. Ilawes has been an
artist of the diamond for many years,
I
and has given
much of his at
tention to the
Nortnwest. For
a long period he
pave eminent
satisfaction at
M inneapolis.
When "Pope"
Uooding's club
went to smash ■
in the earl\g
days of 1888. i
Hawes drifted
to Milwaukee
and finished t he
season Mgere.
lnlßß9M.»na)r«r
Barnes made a dicker with Milwaukee
by which Morrissy went to Milwaukee
and Hawes came to St. Paul. The sturdy
first baseman endeared himself to the
lovers of the game by His gentlemanly
conduct and his honest work in the
iield, at the bat and on the bases.
Hawes is a safe hitter, fleet of foot, and
knows how to take advantage of all the
fine points of the game. Last season
his batting average was .304, his fielding
average 973, and he stole 78 bases.
James Daly.the left fielder, succeeded
T red way in
that garden last
June, and has
done efficient
work over
since. He got
his training in
Vermont and
Massa chusetts,
joining the
Mineapnils
team in 1889,
coming to St.
Paul later. His
batting average
is .2«9. and his
fielding average
is .843. Daly
•overs a great deal of ground in the
field, hits the ball safely, but not hard,
and runs the bases with judgment and
success. His habits are of the best,
and he promises to develop into a great
fielder.
Cal Bronghton is one of the very best
catchers in the country. He throws
•with great speed and precision, tips his
pitcher care
fully as to the
weak points of
a batter and is
an all-round
general in his
position. He
caught for the
Milwau kee
team of 1884,
going thence to
the Southern
league and re
turning to Mil
waukee in 1887.
He began the
season of 1888

work was done /
with the Os /

tional team in
ISB7. In 1888 he
signed with '
Pittsburg, but
was released
to the Athletics after playing four
games. Farmer throws his whole mind
and body into his play, and makes a
success of it. His batting average is
.284 and his fielding average .801. He is
something of a base runnei, too, his re
cord for the season being 88.
Ira Phillips was last year an Inter

have seen it.
He is reported
as always

This is partially accounted for in the
fact that his heart was not in his work,

1884 he began pitching for ameteur
clubs, and in August, 1887, joined the
Portland, Me., club. In 1888 he pitched
twenty-live games for Davenport. 10.,
winning twenty of them. Mains is still
young and needs considerable training,

Thirteen Years of Suffering from
Salt Rheum
The Experience of a Well-Known Business
Man of Providence, R. I.
Final Relief in
Hood's Sarsaparilla
How terrible are the sufferings of those who
are afflicted with Bait rheum, can be realized
only by tne victims themselves. One of the
most severe cases of eczema we ever heard
of is described in the statement below. It Is
from Mr. 8. G. Derry, of Providence, R. 1.,
known all over the country as the manufact
urer of Perry's Waterproof Harness Oil, and
of whom it may be said that "his word is as
good as his bond."
"I have been one of the greatest sufferers
for the past thirteen years from eczema, and
after trying almost innumerable medicines,
methods and climates, am glad to declare to
many friends and the public generally that I
HAVE POUND A CUBE
In Hood's Sarsaparilla. I had retired from
business and wns living quietly when 13 years
ngo I had an attack of inflammatory rheuma
tism, as the result of exposure in winter
weather. My recovery from rheumatism was
quickly followed by eczema, or salt rheum,
breaking out on my right leg. I baa formerly
had it slightly in one finger, probably inher

The humor spread all over my legs, back and
arms, a foul mass of sores, swollen and itch
ing terribly, causing intense pain if the skin
was broken by scratchiug, and discharging
constantly. It is impossible to describe my
suffering in those long years
OP AGONY AND TORTUBE.
My principal aim in life was to recover my
health, and I employed all the Dhysicians,
and used all the medicines, and went every
where I could, in my efforts to get well. I
went to Sulphur Lake, Texas, to Virginia Hot
Springs, and to Hot Springs, Arkansas. At
the latter place I was treated for several
months, and returned home, as I thought, a
well man. But one day 1 got mv blood heat
ed while mowing my lawn, and the dreaded
disease soon had me in its power again. One
eminent physician prescribed a meat diet,
and t or a year I ate nothing but beefsteak.
But all efforts availed nothing. There seemed
no permanent benefit for me. I had spent
thousands of dollars in futile efforts to get
■well, and was discouraged and ready to die.

one. He has
only played In

at Cleveland
and there

work is said to
have been very neat, and ho led his fel

and if he doesn't prove a success will be

Jouett Meekin does the prettiest work
in the box of any of Manager Thomp

precision, very
much aftei the

the curves and

lie studies
batsmen for

he doesn't
want. Meekin was born at New Al
bany, Tnd., about twenty-one years ago.
He is something of a hitter, his average
being .245. He plays so hard to win
that the crowd is always with him.
Manager Thompson speaks in the high
est terms of Meekin, and believes he is
one of the coming pitchers of the coun
try.
i The games of the season will be
played on the old grounds on the West

"In August, 1888, Mrs. 8. A. Pierce, of
Florida, a friend who was visiting at our

was soon so much relieved that I was able to
give up bandages and crutches, and a happy

. MUTRIK CONFIDENT.
He Says He Has a Great Team of
Youngsters.
New York, March 29.— The New
York National League team, headed tty
James Mutrie, smiling and confident as
when the vision of the pennant dazzled
m, arrived on the steamer Delaware,
of the Clyde line, yesterday.
"How did the boys show up?" he was
asked.
"Well, they were just immense. Ev
eryoody was full of ginger and could
not do enough work. Charleston is an
excellent place, as far as grounds go,
but the people take little interest in the
game.
"The new men have exceeded "my
greatest expectations. Tom O'Rourke
did some fine catching, and his throw
ing to bases reminded me of olden
times. I have secured a wonderful
player in Clarke, the Williams
college man. He can play anywhere,
but his forte is catching. He is
the pluckiest man I ever saw, and I s,ay
unhesitatingly that he will become one
of the greatest catchers in the country,
lie is a terrific batter and runs the bases
like a deer. Clarke will be a member of
the regular team and will be immensely
popular with the New York public.
"Al Young, the Harvard catcher, did
splendidly. 1 have a fine pitcher in
Jack Sharrott. He is a hard hitter, and
a fleet base runner. R. Murphy and
Calligan did not come up to expecta
tions, but were handicapped owing to
injuries. Turner did no work at all.
He was in continual fear of gettine a
lame arm, and simply tossed the ball
over tne plate. 1
"Doolev on first base is a fine player.
He will "be a tavorite, as his style is
very taking. Mike Lehane.who started
in to play with us, but who goes to
Columbus, is a rattling batter and a fine
first baseman.
"There is not a better second base
man in the country than bam Crape.
Siefke is a good third baseman, who
needs a little seasoning to become,
a star in this position. 1 have
signed him for two years. We
have got the greatest center-fielder
in the business in Mike ' Pieman. I was
overjoyed to learn of the corning of the
great Hoossier players to New York,
and with the strong nucleus I have now
I feel confident that the league cham
pionship pennant will float over the
new polo ground again next season."

A WHIM OP FOIiTUNE.
The Little Filly That Won Henry
Warnke $50,000.
Probably the most striking illustra
tion of the whims of fortune in connec
tion with the turf is the story of the
Warlike family and their beautiful filly
Reclare. Henry Warnke was a switch
tender on one of the small roads that
run to Coney Island, at a salary that
was little more than sufficient to keep
himself and family. His eldest son
was of small stature, and with
the hope that he would make a
good jockey the boy was sent to
Jimmy Shields, at Sheepshead Bay.
He made some progress aud rode in a
few races, but nature soon clamored for
her rights, and young Warnko found
that he was much too big and heavy to
ride any longer without weakening him
self by reducing. About this time the
father, who bad put by a couple of
hundred dollars, clubbed his savings
with his earnings of his son and set off
for the sale of Commodore Kittson's
yearlings at Erdenheim. A handsome
black filly, by Reform, out of Imported
Clara, caught their eyes, and when she
was put up at auction they went their
limit and secured her for $425. The
filly was brought to Brighton Beach
and a stable constructed for her near
the little cottage where the switch
teuder made his home. Reclare was
the name bestowed upon the filly by
Mrs. Wamke, and, as the winter
passed, the young miss improved in ap
pearance, until ahe was the finest-look
ing youngster arouud the Brighton
Beach track. When spring came
and Reclare began to take
her gallops., Young Warnke,
now trainer and exercise boy,
combined, found that the black filly had
a world of speed, and visions of big
winnings at (iravesend and Sheepshead
Bay filled his mind. The first time Re
clare ran was at Sheepshead Bay in a
big field. She was a very long
shot in the betting, and every
member of the Warnke family was
there to see her debut. Johnny Rea
gan had the mount, and after the first
furlong there was nothing In it but Re
clare, the filly winniug under a double
pull. Mutuel tickets costing 15 yielded
a dividend of 5195 on the race. From
that time forward Reclare was the
champion of her age and sex. suffering
defeat but three times, her earnings in
stakes and purses alone footing up close
to £25,000. It is a modest estimate to
place Mr. Warnke's fortune at 550.000,
besides which he still owns Reclare,
and should she train on as a three-year
old and retain her form of last season,
he can with perfect safety write down
his winnings at $25,000— perhaps double
that sum.
LOOK OUT FOR, FLAMBEAU.
A Californian That Can Ran Like
Wild Fire.
San Fraxcisco, Cal., March 29.—
Notwithstanding offers ranging from
$3,000 to $5,000 for the runuing qualities
this season of Fiambeau, Senator Stan
ford's crack three-year-old Wildidle
colt, he goes East to the stable of Sen
ator George Hearst shortly.to be trained
by Mat Allen. Flambeau has filled out
wonderfully, stands full sixteen hands
high, and Californians will be sur
prised if anything of his age
beats him under the wire any
distance from one to two miles.
Gorgo, in the Hearst string, also belongs
to Senator Stanford. The Palo Alto
(Stanford) string, containing the creme
de la chmiic of Pacific coast running
stock, will not go East this season as
was expected, and thus the larger
courses will be denied the pleasure of
seeing such cracks aa Racine, Peel,
Muta and Rinfax perform. Stanford
docs not take a great deal of interest in
runners anyhow, and generally gives
the purses bis borses win back to the
association. Sunol, the young trotting
queen, has grown wonderfully, is in
belter health than she was in last sea
son, and stands sixteen hands one inch
in height.

President. Brush's Plan.
: Indianapolis, Ind., March 29.— The
Indianapolis club will make no effort to
get into the association ' or into the In
ternational. ; President : Brush says it is
too late. '
"It, perhaps, isn't too late to get into
some organization," said he to-night,
"but it is too late to get a club of good
players together unless some man with
the inclination and time to spare would
take hold of the work. I fear Indianap
olis would • not support the Interstate
league because it plays Sunday ball." '

Plans have been perfected for the holding
of the regatta of the Mississippi Valley Row-
Ing association at Lake Miunetonka early in
August in conjunction . with the Winnipeg
Rowing association, as the latter has given
out that it will waive its claims to the regatta
if the Mississippi Valley association will hold
its meeting at Miuuetonka. A committee
from the Lurline. : Minnesota and St. Paul
clubs will meet in St. Paul tomorrow to de
termine whether jhey will hold the regatta at
Minnetonka or not. It is probable that they .
will so decide, as the offer of the Winnipeg ,
people is a perfectly disinterested one. '
