ALL THE LATEST BALL NEWS , JTho Fistic Arena Hod , DOR anil Gun Wheel Notes Hoof-Bouts and Interesting Mis- ccllnny. . Mr. William Barnes is a resident of Lin coln. Ho is tall , lank aud ungainly , with n growth of whiskers that defies tha atlffcst cyclone to penetrate. Mr. Barnes lias n couple of boys whom ho imagines can i play ball with Buulc Ewlng , John Clarlcson , 4 x Mlko Kelley or any of the big Runs. They 4a flsoa to play In Kearney and all this spring Mr. Barnes has boon endeavoring to por- Buado Dave Howe to give them a trial with the Farmers' Allliinco toiim. But Dave Is In no mood for trilling and ho obdurately ro- fuscs to listen to the old man's song and dance. A week ago Wednesday Shannon's Lambs were In Lincoln. They stopped at the Cap ital hotel , but providence willing they will never do so again. After dinner In the even ing old man Barnes dropped around to con sult with Manager Shannon about his two cherubs. Big McCauley Introduced him to Halllg.in , with the information that ho was the man to talk to. Jocko placed his hand confidingly on the old man's shoulder , while Baker , McCauley Cauloy , Clarke , Walsh and Sutcllffo gathered around. They had ] ust risen from the table and each had abandfulof wooden toothplolcs. "Arc your sons good hitters , Mr. Baruosl" Inquired Halligan , as ho stuck a tooth-pick in the old man's board. "Hitters ? " ho ejaculated , "you ought to nave seen my oldest son paste mo In the eye ononluht when I began to chldohlm fur hem' out " "What , did ho hit you , Mr. Barnes ! " cried Baker , McCauley , Clnrko and Walsh In cborus , and as they crowded closer each man thrust a tooth pick in his whiskers. "You bet ho did " "But that Is not the point I want to make , Mr. Barnes , " continued Halligan , "it Is this , " and ho stuck in another tooth pick , " 1 want to Know If they are hitters can they hit tha pipe , the ball I moan , don't I boys I" "Yos that's what bo means , the pipe I" _ they all cried , and into those whiskers wont a halt dozen moro toothpicks. Well , they kept Mr. Dames there for a full quarter of an hour , aud as a flualo , Halli- pan said : "Mr. Barnes , I'll take your boys on oi.o condition , " and m wont another tookplck , "and that Is that you send .them to Florida for a year to got in condition. " "Whatl" exclaimed Mr. Barnes , and In his excitement bo raised his rlcht claw to comb his whiskers , and as his long lingers came tearing down through the yellow labyrinth , they brought with thorn a shower of tooth picks sufficient to kindle a tiro. This set the gang to laughing , and as the old man stood gazing In bewilderment at the descending silver , they made a break for the insldo of the hotel Surprise l' rty. Ono day last summer whllo Big McCauley was playing with the Philadelphia leaguers , just before game was to tx > called , the around keeper appeared and informed Allen that there was some ono at the gate who wanted to see him. McCauley hurried out and as ho approached the turtstllo ho was greeted by tbo exclamation : "It'sonly mo , pop ! " McCauley recoiled as If a washblll had been tlourlshed In his taco. U was bis oldest son , a lad of fourteen , and how be got there the Dig first busoman couldn't Imagine , as ho thought ho was back on tha farm east of Pittsburg hauling pump kins and other tropical fruit. "Well how in the dovll did you got here , Columbust" irefully demanded Papa Allen.

In 1833 a startling pacer , two years old and rather unfoshlonably bred , stopped off a mlle In 2:20 : % at Council Bluffs , la. The track there is good , but the locality of the performance aud the brooding of the youngster caused moro than ordinary at tention to bo directed to It. The pacing colt's name was Ed Hosowatcr and he was an entire - tire son of Vasco , dam Mary B , by Vlnco. Ho was bred and owned In this city and named after the veteran editor of THE BEE. Ed Rosowatcr didn't train any in 1889. Ho had only ono race that year , win ning In straight heats , the host of which was 3:29. : Last year ho had six races at the pacing guitnnd won two. Grant's Abdallah boat him a bruising four-boat race at Independence , la. , In August , Hosowntor winning the first heat in 2:21f. : and being beaten In 2:20 : } , 2:18 : and 2:19. : Then ho foil off form until September , when ho was second three times at Dubuque , la. , to the phenomenal red and branded pony pacer B. B. , in 2 :2 : ( % 2 : IOX and 2 :29. : Later ho won a heat in 2-25 at Council Bluffs , but was distanced In the second. His pacing performance and gait grow worse as ho wont along and It was deter mined to convert him. Secretary Nat Brown of Union park. Omaha , was here a few days ago and said that Ed Hosowator's conversion to the trotting gait had been accomplished very cosily and by a little work with tno hob- blos. The colt , now four years old , will bo early in the green trotting classes. Ho Is said to bo much smoother of gait than ho was when going from ono sldo to the other , and almost ns fast.

BEE was out gunning some time slnco and seeing a flock of ducks sitting on the water some distance away , ho crawled carefully up on his chest protector and taking murderous aim fired two loads of No. 2's into them and not a bird moved. Again did ho with "literary twirl" slam the deadly missiles at them with the same tremendous results. His companion suggested deafness as the cause , but to make sure they cautiously approached , when lol It was found ho hud been shooting at decoys. A centipede lay dying Upon u grassy piano ; Ills head lay on his mother's breast Whoso heart was llllod with pain. She gazed Into his dreaming eyes And said , "Mv son , good bye ; " Ho answered. "Mother I would speak A word before I die. " "Qo on my boy , " that mother said , Aud then in accents low Ho softly murmured : "Do not lot 'Old' bandy Grlswold knew That I am pone for ho would print A few lines In Tiir.

In 1887 it had forty- ono entries , of which thirty-four were started. Winship won the first place and tlmo modal from the 8:30 : mark. In 1SS8 there were eighty-six entries aad seventy-one starters. Arthur E. Lumsdou won nud Win- ship again captured the tlmo modal with the phenomenal tlmo of S3 minutes 20 seconds. In 18SU there were IU entries ana only sev enty starters on account of the poor weather. Frank Bodach won In 1 hour aud 13 seconds from tha olovon-mlnuto mark and Lumsdon captured the time modal In GO minutes and 40 seconds. In 1890 the' race had 107 entries. Charles Kinsley won in 1 hour , 1 minute and 20 seconds mid Lumsdon won the time modal in 5(1 ( minutes and i3 ! seconds. This year 250 c moro entries tire expected. The Oti-Is on Baseball Women are great enthusiasts when they once got interested In the game , and that comes when they got so they understand the game and points of play , writes Will Harris. Some go to catnos because It Is the thing to do and Is a pleasant way to pass the after noon. Many of these go day In and day out for a long time without much moro than a faint idea of what Is going on ooforo them. But they all cot there after awhile , and tbo way they enthuse for the homo team is some thing laughable at times. It Is a noticeable thing about ladles that , as. tbo slang crowd have It , "thoy want everything In sight. " They simply gloat over a successful trick. No homo player Is over out in their opinion , and when the homo team gets beaten why , "Well , the umpire robbed ns , and I know Its true , because I heard Mr. Ewlng say ho got the worst of it.

Cora Lynn , ono of the most promising prize pointer pups in Now England , was fatally injured by colliding with a big St. Bernard while being sent homo from the Boston kennel club's beach show. The Toy Spaniel club of England , has madatho following decision : "Tho King Charles spaniel is a rich , glossy black and deep tan ; tan spots over thii eyes , and ou the chucks and the usual tan markings on tbo legs are also required. The presence of a few white hairs Intermixed with the blacken on the chest of a King Charles Hpanlel or with the red on the chest of n ruby spaniel shall not in itself be an absolute disqualifica tion ; but a whltu patch on the chest or whlto hnlrs on any part of a King Cburlcs or ruby spaniel shall bo a disqualification. " The proprietor of n resort mueti patronized by the frequenters of the Po'o ' grounds Is the owner of a black nud whlto mongrel cur , about seven months old , which the bnll play ers have called "Huggorty , the Lush , " on account of his uncnnina love for boor and nlo. Ho will drink thoao beverages much oftener than the ordinary dop will water and it Is a common thing to see him go to sleep of n night much the worse for his alcoholic Im- blbatlons. Strange to say , his love of malt liquor has not yet affected his constitution teary ary appreciable extent , but It will ns cer tainly as ho livos. The other day , after a sprco , ho went bird hunting on bis own ac count , and that night his dinner consisted of twelve sparrows and four boors. "Hag- gorty" is not a favorite with his follow ca- nines. So far ho has avoided the dogcatchers ers , but if they do got him they tire sure of n rowan ) , for ho Is quite a card for his owner.
