Whllo Iho base ball magnates have bcc
striving for years to bring players' salarlo
down to noniothlng like rnasonublo flgura
the ball tojsors go right nlontr drawln
princely natarlesand laughlngat the aborllv
efforts of rulers of the gnmo to chock then
nays the spoiling editor of the Chlcug
Tribune. The reserve rule was n move In th
direction of retrenchment , but In thnt llni
wits a dismal falluro. Then from the loagu
brain was evolved the ridiculous clas lflca
tlon rule.- , with Nick Young a ? the nrultraloi
This was oven a moro dismal failure , am
nlii co II was wisely abolished th
magnates have boon scratching thol
heads In a vain effort to check ruin
oil's salary-paying. If ono will tak
a cursory glance ever thosazary lists for nox
season ho will Hnd that the salaries nr
higher than over before In tha history of th
games. Hero Is the way they run : Clark
son * 3.r00 ! ; lluslc. e ,2. > 0 ; Comlskoy , $0,000
Duffy , $5,000 ; Ewlng , $7,000 ; Furrcli , fl.fiOO
Kelly , ? r ,000 ; Mcl'heo , $1.0005 Connor , f 1,000
IJIclmrUsoiif $4,000 ; Van Haltren , MOW )
Glasscock , f 1,500 , nnd so on.
Truly , thu turnstiles will have to play
merry nnd continuous tune next year to brln ,
In such amounts ut the gate. Lot some on
figure haw many ' 'clicks" of tlio turnslllo 1
will tnko to bring In $3100 ! nt 25 cents
"click" nnd ho will bo astonished. Thor
too , thnt is only ono salary out of some foui
teen to bo paid.
B CnlcttlatloitH.
Considerable local Interest Is being mnnt
f ot ted In the muko-up of the Chicago clul
for next yoar. The loss of Van Hultern am
Duffy was not a plcnslng beginning for
loam , to bo uro. I1 arrollgwlll not ho nine
mlisod , except ns n hitter. The local club i
lo bo conuratulnle-d that ho was not saddlci
on It at1,500 salary. No matt with as poor
head as Fnrrcll has can commence to can
th'at much money with any cluo. Besides
Iho olubdoe * ) not need any catchers. Kltt
rldgo and Schrivor can do all the worl
noedoel. . The club needs pltchcis badlv
Vlcltor.v showed such a stnrtlln
propensity to lot down at a critical tlm
lust year that ho should bo left out of th
calculations for next yoar. Then Gumhort I
not a man to bo depended on , and Luby's arm
which was sere all inst season , may be no bet
tor the coming ono. Hutchison Is a 11 rat-das
man and cannot bo Improved on ; but then
Hutchisoncnnnot , do all the work. The clul
racocrnlzcs Its weakness in the box and nov
lias Its Hues out for two good men. If It secures
cures tbo men It Is after the local patron
will have nothing to complain of. Ansoi
will of course bo on first and Coonoy at short
whllo cither Burns or Dahlon will cove
third base , the former most likely U his nrn
came ? arqund all right. U Is not yet knowi
who will cover second base , and It Is mon
than likely that Pfoffor will no exchangee
for aomo good man. Thorn is r.o discount
ing Fred's nullity , but ho ami Ansoi
have never been ublo to got along togotho
and so they might as well bo separated. Th >
club would bo stronger with nn inferior mm
nt second base than with Pfeffer if hn one
Auson nro to remain at daggers' points all th
tlmo. Whllo the club is looking for a man t
lake Pfoffor's place It should -not. ovorlool
the fact thut a good hard hitter is needed
The club's weakness last scn-son lay in thi
fact that' it hud few men who could bo da
'ponded on to hltv the boll in > an emergency
The most available nnd useful man woule
scorn to bo Glassbock. ' In his awkware
way "Snapper Jack" can play a lot of bal
In all departments of ( .he game and his sl/i
nnd agility should make him an iuoal secone
baseman. Then , too , ho woula bo ulltiiif
the ball up araunertho 300 mark all the tlmo
Kynn Is the only certainty in the outfield
Wllmot reverts to the club under his old con
tract , but Ansnn would not be averse ti
replacing htm with some bettor man , if he
could bo secured. Wilmot Is a good hitter
nnd a base runner nway ubovo thu average
but that lots him out. Ills reprehensible
practice of "crops-tiring" n fly ball innltei
him by no means a sure lle-fdor , nnd hli
weakness In throwing nnd on n ground bal
is too well Known to need comment. Still , hi
nmy'ua ' rotninoit. The club has a coed " mm
In vlow to cover right Hold in "place o
"Fanner" Carroll , who POPS to St. Louis. A
gooel hitter is promised and needed. Ir
tilling 'the vacxint places on thn Ch'catre '
team , tlio management should aacrllico some
in fielding to secure good batters. Game ;
are won at the bat after all.
Te > ! > Novel ISntiroly.
The proposed folly of a double champion
ship season is likely to add to the public dU
trust of the managers of Ibo came. Semnre
base ball , run ou business lines with plont )
of players , does not need cursing on Its play
ing side. The elouhlo championship season
idea Is ono calculated to deceive too public one :
inako It bollovo that there Is a live contest -
test before its eyes , when In real
Hy' 4no such spcctaclo Is on. Twc
schedules anel two pennants are modern base
ball novelties not likely to "do , " though
they may keep some ot the Inevitable tall-
orders In .sleht of the leaders n little longoi
thou they would naturally stay. To make
the system consistent players must bosh If tee !
about after tho-llrst schedule Is played out
and the team strengthened up or wc'akoncd
down to the first championship average.
The tlrst serious difference ) Jn iho now
league is likely to como out of tho25-cont
admission fep. It will bo abused In the
smaller ami ox-nbsoclation citlas. and the
traveling men , ardent supporters of base
ball , will scatter their kicks nuout prices
broadcast.
Another dlfforouco is Hiioly to como ovot
the division of the spoils In iho player lino.
Unless all present signs fall and a wondrous
change of heart has come to the men who
are uppermost In base ball , thu weaker clubs
will have a hard time ; tlrst , In getting stars
assigned to them , and , second , la landing the
stars that are assigned.

It would be interesting to the public to
know how the $11)0,000 paid or to bo paid for
bnso ball pcaco ami several retirements will
bu sottlod. It Is snld that secuivd notes haves
be > on given to the retired ones , and that N. K.

Cosconi ) , N. II. , Doc. 27. Au autopsy was
made ou the boely of Isaac B. Sawtollo , the
murderer , at. the stnto prison this afternoon.
The head only was examined , and when tba
bono was removed the dura mater was
found largely disturbed with a fluid consist
ing of bloody serum. Carefully removing
the biain It was found thai the blood came
from a small branch of the middle cerebral
artery , formlue n clot in such u position thut
pressure was primarily upon tha covering of
tha cerebellum , causing paralysis nearly
Gijunl on both sides , and the diagnosis made
before death took place is thereby sustained.
This effectually disposes uf the suicide
theory and substantiates the opinion of
the prison officials that apoplexy caused
Sawtollo's death.

It was ono of tha most unprovoked , brut.il an

The train was stopnrd and run back to tli

Sheriff Galloway secured a pose to soarc.1

that Mlko can't escape. Ho ran south fron

they can ho explained.

Ono day , sumo months aao , the father
was called 'ilway on business , and , as
usual , 'left the shop in charge of his
wife. The shop adjoins the kitchen.
Hcaritifnl knock nt the kitchen door ,
Mrs. Gintor proceeded to answer it.
Opening' the door she found awaiting -
ing Her an old peeldlor familiar to
that neighborhood. The peddler was
a foreigner , hy no means a hand
some man , and having but ono arm. The
other was but the stnmp of an arm ,
which the man always carried exposed
to excite trio sympathy of the people.
Yarns for knitting purposes constituted
Lhe wares of the pedellor. Uo was In
formed that nothing was wanted , but
like other reprobontativos of his trade
lie insisted that a purchase ho made.
The misfortune of the man wasompoa-
si/.cd-by a special exhibition of his arm.
The lady of the house became very much
torrifled , and finally to fcot rid of the
peddler she made a'purchuso. The hus
band learning of tlio affair became fn-
dignnnt , hut as time passed by the in
cident was forgotten.
It had almost passed out of roeeillce-
tion'whcn on last Saturday it was vigor
ously brought back to memory. A little
daughter was added to the family , and ,
strange to relate , it hud but ono arm ,
Lho other ending just below the elbow
joint. In every other respect the babe
, vas sound and perfect. Still stranger is
: ho fact that the deformed member is on
the right side of the body , which cor
responds to that of tlio peddler.
