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. t 2.
