0 NOW ALL PLAY BALL. The St. Paul Aggregation Is Nearly All Ready for the Fray. Three of the Men Absent, but Will Arrive Some Time Today. Brief Sketches of the Men Who Are to Wear St. Paul Uniforms. A Team Which Ought to Play a Stiff Game of Base Ball. AN A E R Thompson was prancing around like a colt in May yesterday af ternoon, wear ing*- a— smile only a trifle less than a yard wide. His ball players had been coin in g in in singles, pairs and squads all day, and at 5 o'clock he au- Ttrf nonnced that they were all in town ex :ept Sutcliffe, Dugdale and "Pop" Smith. They are all en route, and the trio will be seen or. the streets here be fore night if the weather is fair. "Billy" Alvord insists that Sutcliffe is walking in. He says the elongated! catcher was seen on the rail road track a little west ot north in the vicinity of La Crosse Friday ami ought to arrive here at 11:11 today. Mr. Thompson Is very much pleased with the aegreeation that he drew out of the hat at Chicago, and as serts with great confidence that lie has one of the very best aggregations in the league. All of the men who have ar rived are in the finest kind of condition, and are eager for the fray. They ex press especial desire to get at the young men who have been signed to wear Min neapolis uniforms. Among the men to arrive yesterday was Catcher Collins. This player will be retained, although with him Mr. Thompson will have too many catchers. The present intention is to nlay him in the field when Sutcliffe is behind the bat and vice versa. This will keep Sut cliffe, a very heavy hitter. In the game all of the time. As Peltz. one of the fielders, has resigned, this will leave the team with twelve men, the number allowed under Western leegue rules. There was talk that Elmer Foster would be signed to play center field, but it is understood that this deal is off. A little later, if the club should develop weakness in the outfield, Dalrymple or Visiter may be signed. The St. Paul-Minneapolis series has not yet been arranged, owing to the I eruptive disposition of the weather. I With a few fair days, however, both the St. Paul and Minneapolis grounds will be in shape, and probably the open ing game will be played at Minneapolis next Saturday afternoon, in which event there will be a contest on the St. Paul grounds the following day. Un usual interest is being manifested in these games, both on account of the ri valry between the Twins and the -fact that there is so much new blood in the two teams. * A. M.

The latter part of that season he took the management of the localteam and piloted it until the breaking up of the North crn league in August of that year. In 1887 Mr. Thompson bought Iff JSfy flEs^ A.M.THompsoh. of John S. Barnes a half interest in the St. Paul team and continued to have an interest in the team until the summer of 1890. Although having no money in the club since that year, Mr. Thompson has always taken an interest in the game, and saw last year's fiasco in this city with probably more regret than any other man in St. Paul. Mr. Thompson has had sufficient experience to make him a careful and successful manager. * * '-'*MH| Frank H. Motz, the young man who will hold down first base, this spring, summer and fall, comes heralded as one of the best first basemen in the country. FramHMotz. He is a thorough master of the American nation al game, and he is at home equal ly in his position, at bat or in base running. He first played profes sionally in 1889, when as guard of bag No. 1 at Fort Worth he led the Texas league with an average of .292. In 1890 in the Interstate league he got a batting average of .330. Last year he was with the champion Portland Pacific caast team. Again he led the first base men with an average in the field of .984, and had a batting aye rage of .303. • * * Catcher E. E. Sutcliffe is something of a base ballist himself. He has sev eral times been a member of champion ship teams, and always it was his sturdy ELSuTttirre. backstop work that aided mate rially in sending them to the front. Sutcliffe is rather a deliberate play er, but he is very, accurate and so timely that he seldom plays a game .."through, without being roundly applaud ed. His last work in the field ' was with the Wash- ington American association team. His batting with that team was terrific, and he ended the sea son at the head of the list with an av erage of .365, beating out Dan Brouth ers by thirteen points. Sutcliffe's work behind the bat was also good, his aver age being .905. 7? • « » . Capt.

Alvord is a /Ilvoro hard worker from the moment the fi rs t ba 1 1 is pl l died to the end of the game. He never gives up the ship, and is as ready to pull out a tame in t 6: ninth as the second" inn ing.

Pitcher John Wadsworth is young in the base ball business, being only twenty-two years old, but he has a grand arm, lets of , J.Wadworth- * curves and plenty of enthusiasm. Last year he was with the Portland Pacific Coast league. He pitch ed in fifty games for his club, with a fielding average of .962. ' Of the forty-two games that he pitched through, he won thirty-one. Those who have seen i Wadsworth in action say he is a winner. At the outset he throws his adversaries into a paroxysm of fr ight, and has them at his mercy until the end of the con test. i » » Pitcher . Ellsworth Cunningham has already won his spurs in many a well fought battle. At the time he was '%&£*%. w' : ' signed he ex pressed great anxiety to be as signed to St.Paul, and was nearly tickled to death when he found he had been sent to the Minnesota capital. He has been at work steadily in a gym nasium at Moline, 111., for the past mouth. He first appeared as a professional base ball player with the Peoria club in 1887. In ISBS he. ■. played with the Brooklyn team, and in 1889 went to Baltimore.: In 1893 ha opened with the Philadelphia brother-... hood club and closed with th« Buffalo ' International league team. Last year . he played in Baltimore again. His bat-.; ting average was .225, ana ha was one , of the first men in the association in fielding. His weight is 150 pounds, and;, he is as quick as a cat on his feet. ' *»* **BB*BB|^paHiS Pitcher George Washington Keefe is a hardy youngster who comes to ; St. G.WKeefe* ' -• . Paul from Al roona.

He is a steady fielder and a fair hitter, and has been seen, in St. Paul often in a Minueapolis uniform. Hogriever has also been seen in St. Paul often. Collins is reported a good man, though little is known of him here. Donoghue did excellent work last year in the Eastern league. "Pop" Smith, the second baseman, is well know here by reputation, though very few St. Paul people have ever seen him play. His fielding is pretty and strong, and his batting fair. : Scraps of Sport. Jack Newell, the captain and third base man of the Toledos, was the victim of a pe culiar accident in the eighth inning yester day. Mullaue was on second, and started to steal third, He made it by a head-first slide, but the play was a close one. Catcher Hurley got the ball down to Newell just about the time Tony started to slide. Newell stooped down to put the ball on him. Mullane, who had made a headlong jump, threw his feet up in the air. The heel of his left foot struck Newell full in the face. Strange to relate, it did not knock him down. . He picked the ball up and threw it to the pitcher. Capt. Comiskey, who was on the coaching line, ex j amined Newell, and found that his chin had been laid wide open.— Cincinnati Enquirer. A movement is on foot to induce Pfeffer to return to the Chicago club, now that Pipp, Lawrence and Dahlen have failed to cover second base properly.

MINNESOTAATHLETES They Will Be Given an Oppor tunity to Compete fop State Championships. The North Star Athletic Asso ciation Duly Organized : and Officered. A Great Field Day to Be Given in St. Paul Early in June. W. W. Erwin Is Chosen Presi dent of the Young Organ - ization. ENTLEMEN interested in athletics in the Northwest met at the office of J. J. Ahem at 5 o'clock yes terday after noon and or ganized the North Star Athletic asso- ciation. The central idea of the new organization is to assist as far as possi ble in the development of the amateur athletic talent of Minnesota, and it has reached the conclusion that the best way to awaken interest is to give a great field day in St. Paul early in June, at which beautiful and valuable medals representing state championships will be given in many sporting events. Several St.Paul business men expressed their willingness to help out by giving, ma ddition to the regular club emblems, splendid prizes, the "nature of which will be settled, later on. After a half hour's enthusiastic discussion of the outlook for the big field day, in whicli the Globe was highly complimented for its success in carrying through the bowling tourney, the election of officers was proceeded with, resulting as {follows: President, W. W. Er win; first vice president, Thomas Foley; second vice president, Alex Mc- Culloch; secretary, J. J. Ahem. "Mr.. Ahem was authorized to go ahead with the preparation of a programme for the occassion, which promises to be the event of the season in Minnesota sports. Mr. Ahem will give the progress of his work through the newspapers from j time to time, but he would be glad to receive letters or visits from Minnesota athletes at once. For tho present he would be pleased to receive suggestions in regard to events which would be most likely to interest the public and best test the prowess of the con testants. -The annual contests of some i of the Eastern athletic clubs attract crowds reaching from 20,000 to 30,000. j Minnesota has lots of athletes, and, i given this opportunity to train for a purpose, they will be sure to come to the front in large numbers. Mr. Erwin struck the keynote of , the whole situa tion yesterday afternoon when he said: "One of the best signs of ; this age is the ; tendency of the young men to athletics. I am heartily in favor of any movement which will send our boys into the gym nasium and away from the highways and byways of evil." Yon der Ahe's Great Nerve. Columbus, 0., April 2.— President Yon der Ahe. of the St. Louis Browns, today telegraphed President Williams, of the Western league, offering to give Nicholson to the league, providing the Western would pay him the $2,500 he gave Nicholson as advance money. The offer. will not be accepted, as the presi dent has no right to accept such terms. Nicholson will probably go to the West ern anyhow. SATURDAY.
