BASE BALL.
Arlie Latham, tho popular third baseman of the Cine
cinnati team, was in the city for a few days this week
with the "Hot Tamalies"company, and by the way Arlie
is a much better ball player than he is an actor. When
asked if he knew any thing concerning tho new associa
tion, ho said that since Al Johnson had lost so much
money in tho brotherhood fight it would be a hard mat
er to find anyone who had a fortune to put iuto baso
ball.
t
None of tho local players have been heard from since
they left for the coast. Someone was unkiud enough to
say that Youngy was too busy playing ship wrecker
''sinking schooners," to write.
T
Interest in baseball docs not die during tho winter;
it just sleeps, and any evening at Du Teil's or Young's
you can tind a few of tho faithful fighting tno battles
for the season of 1895.
t
Sioux City would liko to have tho western league
meeting before we have the western association meeting;
bo if it gets frozen out in the league it could get a fran
hise in the association.

The Capital City Cycling club has moved into hand
some headquarters in the Zehrung block, Twelfth and
N streets, and it is the intention of the club to give an
informal opening sometime next week. Tho club rooms
are luxuriously furnished with ample facilities for cards,
billiards, pool, etc. and tho parlor is one of the hand
somest club apartments in tho city. The club now has
a membership of 112, and is in a most flourishing con
dition. t
The Rambler Bicycle company, of Chicago, and tho
Syracuse company, of Syracuse, N. Y., donated a dia
mond medal for yesterday's quarter mile bicycle race.
t
The approach of winter has little effect on theenthus
iasm of cyclists. Not until January does tho cold inter
fere to any appreciable extent with the riders, and there
are not many days when the wheel enthusiast cannot
use his machine.
