DOS BENDS. OO nc h JACK Uariart has pitched in thirty games for St Louis this year and even fifteen. The success attending veteran Al Maul, resurrected by Baltimore, has increased the energy of Galvin. The possibility of another fight for the heavyweight championship is remote.

The Teenox Club offers 15 000 for the match. A price reduction for chainless wheels may come in 1899. Some think themselves shrewd as chainless wheels sell for 75.
