There has been n good deal otnlk to the effect that Dave Uowo is not going to play ball this season , but the truth is you couldn't chase him off the diamond with u bulldog.

Ln.it Bonbon wo didn't get a game from thorn , not withstanding the fact that the two llrst of the lust hories on the home grounds were fairly and squnroly won. Bnuswlno , the alleged umpire , stole them both , hut It cost him his position. The Philadelphia Times savs that the Ath letics hnvo released Vnn Dyke and Taloux City can keep him. The Tlmoi U too kind , the Corn Huskora Intended to keep thoyoung man release or no r-'leaso. All the American association's guff about respecting phi ) crs un der contract counts for nnught in these dnys. With the wise management It Is mi eye for RII eye , n tootti for u tooth , nnd n pitcher for u pitcher. The Corn Huskcrs hnvo unearthed another phcnom In a young country clodhopper by the immo of Borth. The Journal says : "Ho requested Manaeor Buckonborgor to give him n trial in the box nnd the way ho fanned out tho.profcsh allowed that ho hud the stulT In him to make n mlghly good pitcher after a n little practice.

Lincoln Correspondence. , , The latest additions to the Cl'iclnnnttl ns. soci tion team are pitcher Kllroy nnd short stop Cnimvnn. The latter was reserved by the Omulm club which tried to cut his sal- nry Times-Star. Omaha didn't try to cut Cannvan's salary , but they did It , and wcro Justified lu the slash , and Canavou accepted. but your pure and righteous Amorloan asso ciation induced him to break his Word. But nobody oaros , wo'Vo got n man worth three of Him. Among the Wcitcrn association plnvers who once played in the league , brotherhood and American association mur bo mentioned Plekelt , Sanders , Wilson , timer Smith , Jluimy Manning , Hick Carpenter , Danny Stearns and Burns , of the Kansas Citys ; George Tebcau.

Llnahan thinks of going to Seattle. Blair opens the season nbout May 10. The State league appears to bo uo go. Look out. for Biiymor of Missouri Valloy. Lou Camp , third baseman , is still hero , dis engaged. Toner will bo with the Nonpareils and not the West Omahns. The Nonpareils and the West Omahas hnvo suits Just alike. Pitcher Stcphenson will play with the Council Bluffs Models. Jcllen nnd Lncoy will , a usual , bo the bat tery for the Nonpareils. Bradford. McAulllTo and Mahoney will make the best outfield the Nonpareils over had. Jimmy Hart Is looking flue as silk nnd will fool some of the sluggers that claimed his nrm was gono. Jollen Is speedier than ho was last year and should bo able to throw 'em over so fast you can't ' see 'em. The West Omnhas have their eye on a flno catcher who , If secured , will greatly sticngthen the team. Llnahan nnd the Blair management do not agree on terms. Come , Blnlr , hurry up or you will loso'a good man. Bddmgcr hns secured n good shea of advance - vance money from the Appleton , Wis. , team. They get n dnndy twirler In him. Bon Wilson will hold down right field for the West Omahas. TulK about hitters , the rest of them are not In It with Bon. Flynn will hold down batr No. 1 for the Nonpareils and Toner will cover short , Frank Mnhonoy going to the outfield. Gntowoodhas not yet closed with any team for this season. Ho has several offers nnd will likely bo found in the I. nnd I. league. Cnrrlgnn say * Shannon Is not in it with him playing second. Jack has a team that think they can tuko a full out of Shannon's lambs. Martin Nelson will either cover shortstop or third for the West Omahas. Mnrt is n line little player and will hold his end up in good shape. Talk about team work. Just go down to Fifteenth and Vlnton any line evening nml watch the Nonpareil boys nt practice and see how it's done. Lucas nnd Thompson both left to join their tcnms.lust week. They expect to reach the town in nbout two woaks. Thnt is if the walking-Is good. Frank Mahoney will play in the outfield this season for the Nonpareils. Frank cov ered short for them last year and did it in great shape , too. John Patterson in ly bo given a trial at third base by the Nebraska City. They would malto no mistake in signing this man , us ho is u comer. Sam Koyos , Blair's star third baseman , suddenly loft town lust week owing numer ous small bills. Pitcher Wcllbaum also de parted with him. Willlnms , the Crnno company pitcher , would .strengthen some minor league team. His last season's work with Chadrcn and later with the Crauo company team was of the best. " ' The Models of Council Bluffs will have ono of the nicest and complete uniforms of any nmatour team. They consist of dark blue pants and shirt nnd white stockings. They uib rotnilnr "butos. " Jerry Mnhonoy Is the king-pin of third basemen In Omaha , a splendid thrower , quick nnd n grent sticker. Ho is plenty good enough for n minor lenguo team , but ho does not wish to outer the professional ranks. Harry Bowles will surely cover loft fl.old for the West Omahas , and jou bet ho is n corker. Ho is also n first-class backstop und the only man the Crane company's team ever had that could catch Williams successfully. Wo would like to recommend Catcher Frank Mnupln to a team needing n catcher. Maupin played lost season with Hid Lincoln Giants nnd Kansas City "Havcrloys. " Ho is n line backstop , good hitter and n speedy bnso runner nnd wns the most popular man on the Lincoln team. His terms nro reason able nnd ho can be uddressed at 11-3 Eust Eighteenth street , Knnsas City. The Nonparlel team will have a flno park nt Fifteenth and Vinton. The fence Is bohur built und the work on the grand stnnd will soon DO stnrted , The boys will endeavor to secure the best amatucr teams in the city nnd stnto to play thorn und should make a success of the venture. The admission will bo placed at 15 cents. The opening of the grounds will bo nbout the second week in May and besides the ball jrnmo.thcro will bo athletic contests open to all nmntuers.

There will probably bo several road races ere long to decide who shall bo In the 1891 racing team. At the last regular meeting of the club two now members were admitted , William Schnoll and Archlo Flynn. Porrlgo says ho soils n do/cn safeties to ono ordinary. At this rate the old ordinary will bo out of sight In n few years. Detroit will not run the league champion ships at the annual moot , and Chicago and Philadelphia nro lighting for them. The Apollos hnvo concluded to Join the league , and by the llrst of next month there will nt least bo ono legal club In the city.

The called run for Sunday last was Cres cent City , Iowa. About eleven of the boys started , but , were compelled to return on nc- count of bad roads. Captain Belndorff called n run to the fort in the afternoon , which was greatly enjoyed. What Is the matter with the boys having n friendly race to Bellnvue with the Omaha wheel club I Such n race would bo interest ing , as the wheel club can pick four good men from their ranks nnd the Apollos could run their regular team , Flescher , Denman , Wertz nnd Pixloy.

Total kllled-sa Anent Jack Davis' probable second battle with Joe Choylnski before the California athletic elub , the Chronicle has the following to say : "Jack Davis U a man Just now con sidered a formidable opponent for any heavy weight , Sullivan included. Ho flrst came to the Pacllle const shrouded In mystery so far ns our local sport patrons were concerned nnd continued so until nftcr his defeat by Choylnski ; nnd what a defeat ! This wns a contest In which the seconds moulded the re- suit ; for if the Omahn man had been prop erly coached during and after the fourth round the result would undoubtedly have been Just the reverse. That the high opinion of Davis as n lighter is sharnd by hundreds In this city is shown by an interview with" n loading light of the California club n few days after his fight , when Davis' name was suggested as n contestant for the January meeting. Said ho : 'This man Davis is a dangerous man too dangerous for us to book at this tlmo. Ho wastes very little tl.no In fiddling or fancy work , but commences busi ness nt the call nnd keeps it up to the end. While wo should be pleased to see him perform again , wo would undoubtedly jeopardize our interests by matching him for nn early meeting. " "From what you hnvo seen of him would you call him among the lenders ! " was usked. "Most assuredly , " wns the reply , "Tho man who beats him will know ho has been In u hot engagement. True ho lacks u little In science , but thnt is bal anced by his tremendous hitting powers.

The Maxim self-acting gun Is tlio mt vcntlon of Hiram S. Maxim , un Engllshman.- The working Of this gun Is nn enigma to ono who never saw it In action , and wo fear that It will bo but an Imperfect idea of its workIngs - Ings that wo will bo able to convoy within our limited space. First , every round , after the Initial discharge , is exploded by the recoil of the ono previous. Thu cartridges used uro curried in a belt of any length to suit the size oftuoguu ; or , when this Is not taken Into consideration , to suit the whim of the opera tor. Ono end of this cartridge bolt Is placed Into the machinery of the gunwhich is "side- geur. " When the guilds set iu operationund after the first recoilthe cartridges are picked out of the belt by the automatic action of the gun Itself ; the bolt nnd empty shells being ejected after llring. Every recoil of the gun brings the next cartridge Into position , forces it into the barrel , pulls back the hummer and touches the trigger iu n truly human-like manner : all with wonderful rapidity. Hiirh- griuloMuxlui guns have boon known to tire over six bundled shota per minute. The gun may bu turned In any direction by moans of n crank , The rate of.itlschnrgu Is regulated by a "controlling chamber. " which enables the operator to tire ns rapidly or as slowly as ho desires , UAUTMU.V , Nob. , March SO.

" "No. ' ' "Don't you know that you are liable to go to state prison if you swear falsely ? " "No. " ' Are you attached to tlio constitution of the United States ? " "Don't know whether wo are or not. Don't understand tlio nature of the ques tion. " "Did you over read the constitution of the United States ? " "No. Did not know there wns ono. Never heard of it. " "Can you road and write the English language ? " "Who is at the head of the govern ment , a king or a president ? " ' 'Don't know , but gucfes it is n king. " "Who makes the laws of this coun try ?

" "Don't understand the question. " "Well , in case of war between the United States and some foreign power , with Italy f&r instance , would you bo willing to fight for this country ? " "Don't know about that. " "Thon what is your reason for wanting to become citi/.ens ? " "Wo have filed on some land and wish to make final proof. " "Well , boys , I sympathize with you under the circumstances , but with the utter ignorance which you have shown of the laws of the country , ! cannot grant you your papers. My advice would bo for you to go homo and study them , and when you know the nature of an oath , whether this is a monarchical or repub lican form of government , have read the constitution understandingly , either in English or in your native language ( it is printed in all civilize'd tongues ) , and learned a few other things highly essen tial for all good citizens to know , come back , and if I am on the bench I will grant your papers.
