BASESBALL.
Over in Si-. Louis they have a new way of practising to get your eye on the ball. Every duy that the weather will permit the_ playeis get on the commons One of them pitches a big coik and theochers take turns at batting it. Any kind J of 'a pitcher can make a cork darl, jump and curve in a mystifying manner, and it takts a good batter to hit it with ii barrel-stave ; a man who can j smash ib with a broomstick is a dandy. It is splendid practice for batting, and I took a crack at the cork every time I got a chance. They call the game ' cork. — American paper.
