'Twns July twelfth , n Kunday In 18'Jl ,
\Vo had tmtherud nt llio ball park In crowds
to HOC the fun :
For our own pill cd od ball team with
Howe's farmuru wai to pl y
Two games , miu wo were nnxlou.i for the
coining of the fniy ,
More nnxlous too. bocr.uso we'd hcnrd the
pipers nil proclaim
That thn club might bo illihamlod at the
clojo of the second paino.
You sco , wo were proud of our ball team , of
o.tch mid ovcry man ,
From Trnllloy , who pluycd hardly once n
wi'olt , to our paragon , Manager Dan.
So that ilny whan tnoy eatim out for pructlco
In regretful sllonco wo bnwod ,
To think that they might never do It niuln
for n loyal Omulm crowd.
But we wiitchcd tbom nil closely and fondly
for nnoli wanted to store In their heart ,
Some rm-moryof each of the players , In case
wo should from them part.
"Thpro they como ! O. nron't they lovely 1"
One inaldun wni heard to say ,
As the niuii walked out to tUoir plncos that
fair sunshiny duy.
Donnelly stops nt third Imso , our handsome
"Professor" from Yale ,
To convince one that he's n contortionist his
position can harly fall.
Nozt coined our bright haired short atop , a
plnyor equalled by fmv ,
He's not line the broom ; ho still sweeps clean
although bo Is not now.
As I once snld , ho is our fnvorito whom wo
fondly call Manager D.in :
The place which ho Illls in our base ball
ho.irts tbo universe hardly can span.
But who Is this graceful follow who throws
with his free loft hand !
That's Flrst-basotnan "Papa McCnuly , " the
giant of all the band.
These four nonstltulo our Inllcld. O long
will livu their faino ,
As long as Omaha ball cranks live to deserve
that name.
Halllgnn It the right bower of the out field's
grassy oxnnnso ,
When n ball comes any plnco near him , for
escajMi It has no chanco.
Twltcholl plays In left Held , and Illls his po
slthm well ;
How much wo like him his nlcknamo , wlich
is simply "Larry , " will tell.
Deacon Ciriftln , who nlnys In center , Is
straight and dlgnilled ;
Hear him coach "Got up on your toes , my
boy ! I'layball all the tlmol Quick ,
slide 1"
Our pitchers ? Well , wo have some , the kind
that makes us rojolco ,
If I were to choose among thora I wouldn't
know which Is my choice.
Eddlo Kitoljorg is young and strong , skillful
and willing too ,
Ho isn't well paid , so wo think ho must
pitch for the good that ho can do.
Baker is steady and sober and ovor.ready to
joke ,
Ilo starts his balls with n flpuro eight , like
a fancy skater's stroke.
Clarlto U a firsUclass twlrlor , but his
tomi > er is rather bad ;
Still , them am worse mon than this ono ,
whom every ono knows as "Dad , "
Our catcher , "Old Oy" SutclllTo , who plays
ball and carries n c.uie ,
And Trnflloy , who hardly over plays , a cir
cumstance , 1 can't oxplaln ,
Are both nbovc the average , or rather their
average soar
Higher than than that of many a man who is
lauded n great deal more" .
The games begin , Eddlo pitches first , and the
peopln merrily shout.
In tbo nlghlh. the garao stands 13 to 0 , and
we think wo'll shut them out.
But ho doesn't euro to abuse his arm , so bo
doesn't try any more.
In the ninth , they gather a harvest , but wo
boit them 1'J to-l.
We've earned ton runs , fanned three mon
out , gnvo but three ttioir base on balls.
Why need anyone disband n team which
makes such splendid hauls I
The second game. Clarke gees in to win ,
with Old Cy behind the bat.
For clgnt innings again , nro the Kowos shut

v McCuuloy , Shannon and SutclllTo uiado a
brilliant triple play ,
And Lincoln's cake wns'entiroly dough until
Kurkolt saved thorn the day.
Ha knelt on the plate In thankfulness , in the
ninth , when hu made n run.
Though tnoro wasn't much to bo thankful
for ; wo beat them I to 1.
This was our own great ball team , at all
times a welcome sight ,
A-laek-a-day I Ah , woo Is mo I For once
tbo papers were wore right.
That night the club was disbanded whore
blame belongs , I don't know.
I but know that they were scattered , gone
wherever they could go.
"Immortal , though no more , " wo sigh as wo

"Immortal , still immortal , though no more ;

prise to the whole bnsehall world ,
with which bo has boon prom
inently Idontilled since the early

Sir Tom Uoftus secured n Jewel in Hnlll-

at a pitcher like n demon. If ho don't make
omo of the big league pitchers sick I will bo
very much mistaken. Ho Is quick ns n flash
and gets down to llrat ns fast us Hamilton.
Ills record In the last gnmo , wns n triple , n
Ingli' , a sacrifice nnd n bnso on bulls , nnd
his cntch of a lly off MoAleor's bat virtually
saved the dny for Clnolnnnil. The bull wns
bntt < < d between center nnd right and Haiti *

that the hit was good for three bases , but by
herculean effort llnlllpnn reached out his

A STATKSaiAN'.OUT OI-1 A JO1J.
Kato Field Jloastn the KxScnntoifrom
When Mr. Infills called himself a
"statesman" did ho not inaUo a mistaljo ?
Did not the press rc-alhio this tnistnko in
word ' - " and
substituting the wordpoliticirn"
tclo raphiiifr from the from the Atlantic
to the I'aeilio thnt Mr. Intriills pro
claimed himself a ' 'politician otit of si
job ? " A statesman is a politician in the
best sense , but can never ho ' 'primarily
devoted to his own advance
ment ; " honec , while congress con
tains many politician.1 * , it has
few statesmen "not 2 per cent , " said a
prominent senator a short time ago ,
"and Tngalls isn't one of them. "
Wits It statesmanlike in the ox-senator
to refer to his late otlico as a "johV"
Does not tlio fact of his so construing a
seat in the United States senate prove
that ho has no right to tlio rank of
statesman , and that out of his own mouth
ho places himself among the politicians
ot second dogreoV
Continuing his marvellous address
Air. Ingalls seriously questioned whether
any man over honoatly earned $1,00)0 ( ) ( ) ! ) ,
' ' " added "tho 1
'and yet , ho , reason wtiy
have not 81,1)00,0(10 ) ( is hocauso I do not
know how to get it ! * * * I .should
like to have a private ear , a steam
yacht , a stiminor homo on the Hudson ,
and a palace in Now York city , but the
reason why I have not got them will ho
found horo" lunching his forehead
"and not in the statute books. It is tlio
fault of tlio Creator. " Then , by tlio
same token , the solo reason why
Mr. Ingalls Is not Alttiould ,
"the greatest object of public execra
tion , " is not beenuso Mr , Ingatls is
troubled with more coin-cioneo , but be
cause ho has less brains ! It's no fault
of ills , but tlio Creator'sl So you see the
ex-senator can reason round n corner
and roproaeh Hod for not giving him
the great intellect of a Gould wherewith
to accumulate millions and bo publicly
execrated !
If tv woman talked like that she would
he metaphorically torn to tatters and
told to go homo that the platform was
no plnco for persons Incapable of reason
Mr. Ingalls on the contrary , draws large
audiences because ho says just this -ort of
thincUt tickles his liearors. The tinkling
accounts for the snVlng which brings lite
back to my original proposition. Xo
statesman would tail ; In an unstatosmati-
lilcu mr.nneiMr. . tigalls lias been 1111-

not u statesman. It6 is a politician out
of a job , in searcH 'of ' a private car , a
stuam yacht , a Mimmor homo on the
Hudson , a palticu in Now York City ,
with public execration thrown in. That

JOHN .T. INGAMjS AT IIOMK.
Ills Resilience Noaf tVtcliison null the
Interesting Griivo Near Hy.
From the tone of dispatches sent out
of Aluhisou to certain papers it would
appear Unit John J. Ingalls is still mop
ing around bemoaning his recent defeat ,
but such is not the cuso , says 11 corre
spondent of the St. Louis Republic. Of
coin-so the irridoseent statesman wanted
to bo re-elected United States senator
from Kansas , and no doubt ho yearned
for the privilege of occasionally presid
ing over that distinguished body of
celebrities for six more years ; buttho _
horny-handed sons of toil were against
him and ho went down in the landslide
witli several other prominent mon of
liis party. Ho mot defeat as bravely as
could bo expected under the circum
stances , and now ho is at home in the
bosom of his family enjoying the bless
ings of private life.
The ex-senator's residence is situated
on a picturesque knoll in South Atchison -
ison , comminuting an excellent view of
the entire city and the country for miles
around. Mr. Ingalls has always loved
the woods and liolds and meadows , and
since his retirement from ollieo ho has
devoted so much time to them that the
people pronounce him a full-Hedged
farmer.
lie owns a thirty-acre tract just across
the road from his residence , which ho
lias transformed into a pasture and trade
farm. The timber land lias boon cleared
up nicely and seeded down with bluo-
gniBS. which makes good "picking" for
ahoul twenty cows and calves. The garden -
don contains about ten acres , planted in
'
vegetables of every descriptio'n , The
garden is the envy of the neighborhood.
Thai'o is not a we'cd in it , and the yield
is very Urge. Kvery morning Mr. In-
galls' man appears on the market square
with a wagon load of choice vegetables ,
Mr. Ingalls' big farm is a SOO-ucro tract
of land on Walnut creeklive miles south
of Atchison. This ho is turning into tin
extensive stock ranch. The thlrly-acro
tract is known us the "homo placo. ' '
The Republic correspondent called upon
Mr. Ingalls the other day for the pur
pose of obtaining his views on a matter
of national importance , and found the
distinguished gentleman strolling about
his garden , giving orders to a couple of
colored laborers with the air of a man
wlio had boon a tiller of the soil for a
great many years.
'I do not desire to talk for publica
tion"said Mr. Ingalls in reply to the
newspaper man' * question , "but I would
like to show you my farm. " Uo then
led the way through the garden and pas
ture , showing the visitor everything in
sight and talking gayly about the pleas
ures lie was deriving from Ills now mode
of putting ill time. Mr. Ingnlls was attired -
tired In n'light suit of clothes. Ho were
a while slouch hat , with which the people
ple of this section have become familiar.
Tlio day being rather chilly , ho had on
his long gray overcoat , which ho has
worn for six years.
Heforo the Republic man took his de
parture Mr. Ingalls escorted him to a
little mound surrounded by tall , well
trimmed oak and hickory trees and cov-
01 ed with blue grass , and showed him a
grave of which a good deal has been said
and written. A rough cross made of
fence boards marks the head and an or
dinary stake marks the foot. It Is sup
posed that the grave contains the re
mains of an Indian girl and a white man
her lovor. The story , which is tradi
tional , is as follows :
Away back in the early part of the
nineteenth century , while what is now
known as Kansas belonged to the terri
tory of Louisiana , there lived in a lonely
hut on the bunk n [ the Missouri river an
old Indian and his daughter. They had
wandered away from some Boutliorn
tribe and , finding a picturesque spot
near this point which they thought
would make them a pleasant homo ,
they settled down , and for sev
eral years saw no human beings other
thnn an occasional band of Klokanoos ,
who inhabited the northern part of the
territory. Ono day a white hunter came
along and nloppid at thu hut and usUod
lor food and a place to rest. Ills homo
was in the south , but ho hud been hunt
ing buffalo in the territory with a party
of friends and had got lost. In searching
for the trail ho had taken sick , and his
sickness proveil to bo of a serious character -
actor , for it was many weeks before ho
was able to travel. During his Illness
the Indian cirl was over at his side , car
ing for him as though ho were a brother ,
and by the time ho had recovered she
had fallen desperately in love with him.
Ho explained to her that ho had a AVlfo
and family in the south who were long
ing for his return homo , and that while
ho loved her dearly for what she had
done for him , yet they would have to
part. The thought of giving up the
jialo-faced stranger turned the girl's
iicad , and one night she crept to his
coucli and shot an arrow through his
heart and then killed herself. The
father found them clasped in each
other's arms dead , and they were buried
together.
Mr. Ingalls says ho will have the grave
opened sometime and ascertain , if possi
ble , what It really does contain.
