BASE BALL
BREVETIES
Batlest Fuslrcss Euslly Cuzilng
By Ike nasc Burner By the
Base Ball Bugs.
Thomas J. Lynch, the new president
of the National League is 1 years
of age and still quite a spring chicken
when it comes to the name. He is
at present manager of a lyceum bur
eau. Soxalexis, the great Ind'an player
who hud them all skinned a few
years ago but wad jut out of the game
Umpire J. Barleycorn, has been liv
old condition and get into the panic
next year. Sox was a great player,
but his excessive use of the juice v.-
too much for him.
Xagle, the A. A. pitcher witli Lin
coln team last season is spending his
winter in the logging camps of .Michi
gan. Xagle was a good pitcher
but lucked the physique to stand a
hard game. With a strong, consti
tution he would be a valuable man
to the Links.
Johnnie (Jonding the popular cat
cher for the Omaha team, and who has
been one of t!r best catchers in the
West for several years, wouM make
a mighty fine umpire. Johnnie is not
as young as he used to be, and while
he can , make many of the younger
fellows take a back seat, yet it is only
a question of a year or so when he will
probably have to step to one side.
The Western League needs good um
pires more than it needs good catchers
and President O'Xeill could not do
the game a greater service in the West
ern than to appoint (ionding on the
staff of umpires.. We have seen him
'umpire and knows he lias the goods.
At last the deal has been eotisu-
mated which takes Pueblo out of tin
Western League and transfers the fran
chise to St. Joe. John Holland, last
year manager of the Wichitas, is the
new owner, which means a whole
lot to the success of the game in the
new location. Holland paid ?.,
or the Pueblo franchise and takes it
o a city which let its former franchise
go to Lincoln four years ago for So!)!).
It is hoped that base ball in St. Joe has
picked up a little bit.
Detroit, the American league cham
pions will cut down their playing force
for next season and have already let
loose eight of their young players.
Hoy Corhan, the crack shortstop
of the Pueblo club last year, has an
offer to manage a team in the Colorado
state league next season, and says that
the Pueblo team is sold to St, Joe
that he will quit the game and ax
cept the management of the club.
A s Roy has a good business in Pueblo
he will n;it feel like l"avin? that town

BEGGAR WILLING TO TREAT
Generous Clevelander Ran Across
Seemingly a New Type of the
Panhandler.
The approach of ttio Reason when
tho forlorn stranger with ttie whis
pering tones and the hat down over
his eyes stops you to nsk tho price of
a light luncheon recalls the tale ot
Price McKlnney and the generous pan
handler. McKlnney, walking up Superior ave
nue, was accosted hy a man with a
hrenth like a distillery.
He said he had not tasted food for
many, many days. Even ro small a
sum ns 15 cents, he suggested, might
be sufllcient to stave ofT actual starva
tion. "See lu re," asked McKlnney stern
ly, "Isn't It a fact that you want this
money for drink and not for food at
all?"
The man looked him In the eye,
dropped IiIr head, gulped and owned
up that It really was a good drink
that he had In mind when he men
tioned his need of food.
"O, well," sighed McKlnney, "I sup
pose If you want a drink that had
you'll get It sooner or later, and I
might as well give you the money ns
somebody who doesn't know what you
want it for. Upsides, I feel that I
should give you something for telling
tho truth." He picked a dime and a
nickel nut from the change In his
pocket and handed It to the stranger.
"Say, old fellah," proposed the man,
"If you feel like tnnkln' that a quarter,

Hunter's Battle for Life.
Locked for half an hour on the
hornR of a slightly wounded and dan
gerous buck, Stephen Chalmers, an
author and magazine contributor, en
gaged in a life and ik..ih struggle 18
miles from lipro, the last day of the
hunting season. Finally grasping with
one hand his shotgun, the stock of
which had been broken by a blow
at the deer's head, Chalmers ills
charged the load Into the buck's
breast.
Chalmers had first wounded the deer
slightly stunning It. Intending to put
it to death he dropped his gun and
reached for his knife. It was gone,
and before he could recover the gun
the buck rose to Its feet and charged
him.
Chalmers' hands were badly lacer
ated by the antlers of the deer, but
otherwise he Is nono the worse for
his exhausting struggle. He returned
here today in company with Dr,
Charles Oakley, bringing the buck as
a trophy. Saranac Iake (X. Y.) Spe

of foot wearing apparel, nt.d blended

that it was the hand of a master
