MHILE tho Brooklyn

UlCUlUUIt) Ul W1U
team, accompanied
by President Byrno
and Manager Bar
nle, visited the
gravo ot tho titc
manager, Mr. Da
vid L. Foutz, at
London Park. Tho
team was accompanied by the
members of Mr. Foutz' fnmlly,
consisting of his mother, MVa. Mi
riam C. Foutz, and uIb brothers
and sisters. At tho grave Mr. Byrne
made an address, in Which' he eulogized
the llfo of Mr. Foutz, and said ho had
known him for a long time as a quiet,
honest nnd conscientious man, and ono
of tM) greatest ball players tho country
has produced. During the delivery pi
tho address the players and the family
stood nround the grave with bowed
heads, after which each of tho players
placed a bouquet of roses upon the
grave, completely cdverlng it. In speak
ing ot tho affair afterward Mr. Byrne
eald: "Our visit to tho grave of Davo
Foutz was an impressive one, and had
an elevating cfToct on tho minds of tho
players. During tho informal services
there were tears In tho eyes of many
of tho men, tho simplicity of the cere
monies nnd tho evident regard that the
Brooklyn club had for its employes ap
pealing to their better natures. We had
twenty bouquets, nil different In color
and design, and each of us placed ono
upon the grave Afterward Mrs. Foutz,
.the venerable mother of the deceased,
thanKcd us and tho Brooklyn club for
the respect shown to her son, and said
that she would never forget It. Tho
players later spoko of similar services
at tho resting places of Hub Collins and
Darby O'Brien, nnd expressed tho senti
ment that the BrooRlyn club never for
got an employo who had served the
club. That night Mr. Barnic and my
self visited tho Baltimore lodge ot Elks,
of which, by tho way, Mr. Barnio was
nt ono time exalted ruler, and inspect
ed a handsome- set of resolutions pre
sented to that body by the Brooklyn
lodge as a mark ot appreciation (or its
participation in the funeral of Dave
Foutz. Theso resolutions, which aro
handsomely framed.wero presented last
week." This was altogether a most
appropriate and lmpresslro tribute' to
tho memory of a good man, and re
emphaalzes tho fact that tho Brooklyn
club is tho ono Leaguo organization
that never forgets its worthy friends
i.nd employes.

him nt a tlmo when ono of our men
lined a hit over center. Young Anson
was yelling: "Go it, dml, get that ball;
and IiIb dad was shagging tho best he
could, but ho couldn't connect. I re
member I hit tho old gentleman with n
ball. It was entirely accidental. He
didn't say anything tho first time, but
when I touched him up the second timo
in tho same spot he walked out toward
me and asked: 'Young man, did you
do that n purpose?' Of course I as
sured him that I had not. He scared
me so that I kept tho ball away from
) tho plate after that for fear of reach
ing him again. Tho Iowa men lost lots
of money on tho games. Wo won both
by big scores. The Rockford boys liked
the gamo that young Anson put up.

billiards in tho early days of tho league.
t remember onco our crowd lost con
siderable money backing another ball
player against him at the game. He
can shoot a gun, too. I (Irmly believo
that It Anson was to leave tho team

the playing that there would bo an in

him to do something with that nlno of

"I can't quito agree with that sug
gestion of Duko Farrell'8 to ball play
ers who loso their arms," observed Al
Maul. "Farrell believes that an ln

length of time, develop the knack ot
throwing, nnd witkln a fow months will
havo taught hlB new throwing wing
skill enough to play tho outfield. This
has been tried by players repeatedly,
but they never succeeded in mastering
tho knack. A player could develop a
new throwing arm If bo began early
enough In his life, say at the age ot 1C
pr 17. But after manhood has sot in

to practlco left handed pitching, and
showed tho patlenco of Job while at

Ho practiced long enough to got pretty
fair command of tho ball, but ho
couldn't pitch tho curves, and when
his working arm played out ontlroly
ho gave up pitching by the advice ot
his physician, who laughed at his at

ever would buy. Sho was a rather
pretty girl, and nt tho tlmo of tho
Shah's vlBlt to England oaptlvnrfod tho
fancy of n dark-skinned nobleman In
tho potentate's party.
Tills man proved to be Abdullah
Hussein Khan, cousin ot thc Shnh, n
man of great wealth and inftuenco In
his own country. Stopping one day nt
tho stalls, he wob greatly attracted by
Miss Blacknvin and bought some trifles
from her. Ho returned tho next day
and bought Bomo moro.
When ho appeared tho third day MIbs
Blackman perceived that It was she,
and not her wares, that attracted the

accepted and married her. Tho cere

the Shnh went homo and hired a hand

for nearly two years. He had told his

ho had not yet mentioned tho tact that
ho already had threo other wives at

But in 1892 thcro camo a command
from tho Shah to return home. Ab
dullah had by this tlmo deelded to
mako England his home. Ho was a
man ot cultivation and had found Eu
ropean civilization much to his taste.
But, under penalty of forfeiting his
estate, ho was obliged to obey tho
Shah's orders, and when ho reached
Teheran ho had to tell his English
brldo that sho was only No. 4. Ono
can imagino the scene, tho toars, tho
protestations, nrM all tho rest. But
there was nothing for tho young wife
to do but to submit, and sho had tho
satisfaction of being tho preferred wife,
the first lady of tho harem.
When it was known to tho English
at Teheran that ono of their country

considerable excitement, and many
English ladles visited her. Sho be

and tho Shnh gavo her tho name of

cost her trials and dangerB, as will be
seen.
