IHKRH are many g-wd thing that
cannot he wild of the Cleveland
management, but there Is onr that J
can. (levelsnd set an riunplt la ,
n rftret which other man e- '
nvnt might, wtth profit to ih-mwlrn
and has hall. fallow. When did
you ver hoar of Cleveland giv
ing mjt an innouncvm'dt a to what
thia mail or that gets? Clevelsnd treats
the matter of ta salaries a bue'n-
proposition which concerns nobody but
Cleveland and Cleveland Is dead right.
Too many tram owners and managers
make a vulgar dlep'ay of these maitcra.
It la harmful, exceedingly harmful. In tha
f irat place )t la nobody' business what one
man paye another to work for him. There
Isn't anything milch mora private In Ita
essential nature than a men's private In
come. In business Ufa thia principle i.
rwonornised. Im't bsee hall business? But
tha point with which the manager should
concern himself, and which Cleve
land evidently observe, la that tha
pracUc of disclosing wx-h things
haa a disquieting efrect and many
tlmea discouraging result upon other
player and teams. Player may
know whtt each other gets, but having
these' tilings biased forth In public print
Is much more trying to patience than keep
ing them hid In secret. It Is a bad busi
ness pcactke and Cleveland has sliuwn
that tha mischief la more than sentimental
by refraining from falling Into It. The
multiplicity of hold-otits on emmt of
salary this year Is simply one effect of
constant agitation of this question. If the
sama treatment accorded in other line of
business were applied to base hall It is quite
within the probabilities that the number of
malcontents would he lessened. And that
lim't saying that playera should not stand
up for tbelr Ighrs and Insist on more
ray when they think they are really en
titled to It, or that a reform In this matter
would di away entirely wtth auch con
troversies, between owner and player. But
that tha effect would be mutually helpful
is not to be questioned.
"He' the same old Ccmlskey." said a
friend w'io met the Old Roman at the
depot going west. niat'g what they have
ben saying for the last twenty years.
Thera la a magic charm about thia man
that keepa him aver young, that preserves
a youthful face and elastic step, a childish
seal and adolescent optimism. He must
be an altruist. Anyway, he la a giant of
success. It la this mysterious charm thst
makea him so. He doesn't know what tha
word 'lose" means. "Can't" Is rot In his
vocabulary; he never says "no use." Jones
convinces everybody else that he's through
with basa ball. "I am still looking for
rielder Jones to run the team thia year,
the sama as ever." Is Coiniskey's bland as
sertion. But If Jones does not. If lie quits,
somebody elsa will run tha team and the
team will ga right on winning. That's
Comiskey. He appreciates a man e serv
ices, but not to the point of thinking or
allowing the man to think they are In
dispensable, and when hla strongest prop
la taken from under him he just leans
over an another, and If It isn't as strong
a support In time, then he gets 'one that is.
Ifa tha same old, dashing, debonair Comls
,key, who led the old Browna four times to
the pennant of the old American associa
tion and once to tha wcrld's flag. FVr
diplomacy, strategy and all tha elements
that, go to make managerial acumen, -ha
perhaps has not yet hsd his equal In base
j baH.
Cy Toung. like most of the men who
have played profsskual ball ss long aa
he haa. atanda like a Gibraltar for organ
ised law. Wlille younger playera alio
may never hope to reach the Tcung
standard of efficiency are kicking and
bucking about being sold or traded, this
old king of pitchers, sent In the evening of
his fruitful career from the city where tha
greater portion of hla playing days have
been spent, to another elly, makes only
this comment: "I think a team owner
ought to have a right to say where a
player shall go. If I were paying a man
SS.ffW or tt.OOO for six months' work, I
would expect to' say where ha should go
and wrist n anoura do. That has the
true ring. And yet Cy Toung hain't been
run over by any managers in his career.
. Such men command a respect which others
' cannot compel and hold pi ares cf dignity
not within the reach of others. It Is tha
spirit of basa ball, tha spirit which prom
ises its permanency.
Omaha has no reason to complain at
President O'Ncil a aeleclioa of umpires, nor
haa any other city In- tha league. If what
la known ncd heard may be relied upon.
Dugaa and Mullen are total atraogera to
this circuit; Clarke Is well known In Omaha
aud moat of the other cities, while Jack
'Haskell is thoroughly known. Clarke 1a
a fornitr piaycr and prefers umpiring. That
ought to make htm a good one. On thing

Few gm have undergone so msay
changes in so short a time aa our old
friend ejehre. Fifty years ago euchre was
almoxt, the national game In this country.
On ail the steamboats of the western
rivers euchre was tha stsndby, and such
old books on gambliag as Green's always
refer to IU '
About twenty years ago people; began to
be satisfied with the old two and four
hand gam of euchre, their tastes having
been broadened by an acquaintance with
duplicate whist and Its intricacies. The
first change came in the form of wbat was
known as seven-hsnd euchre, played with
the full pack, like whlat; a variety which
ta still very popular In many parts of the
south and west.
Like most of our modern gaines. seven
hand euchre owea its vugue to the Intro
duction of the bidding element. Each of
the seven plsyers receives seven carda
from the full park of fifty-three. Includ
ing the Jrker. four remaining for tha
widow. No trump Is turned, the privilege
of naming the trump being sold to the
highest bidder.
I. aid a the Btdaier.
Each player haa one bid. and he must
name the suit he would like for trumps
and the number of points ha thinks ha
, W,.KJ1. ..v.. k.
can make. The highest bidder tskrs the
widow and discards four csrds In Its place.
He then paws markers ta those at the
table that he selects as his partnera for
that deal, if he wants sny psrtners. It I
usual to select those who have the lowest
scores, so aa not to sdvance thoee who are)
already high " j
If the bidder undertakes to win me
.eirfc. ..t r ih. seven he is entitled to two
Banners onlv. and the three nlay against i
the remaining four. If he haa bid elx or
seven tricks, he cso have three partners,
and they play against the tnree who are
left out.
If ha thinks he can make seven tricks j
without anv partners ha can bid ten; but i
he must bid It before seeing tha widow.
If he feels strong enough to win all seven
tricks without either widow or partners
he can bid twenty, which ta tha top.
The bidder always leads for the first onc. irtt hi( hard. If the elder
trick. All he can score la the amount of nJuld , BOt Mtlrnd with Ma draw, ha can
hia bid. even If he takes more. Ha and niprcpoe again, and tha dealer has another
partners all scora the same smount; fi I aDnortun1tv to alve cards or to refuse
for five tricks, six for six and ssvsn for
seven, five being the lowest bid allowed.
When he haa oo partnera ha scores tan
or twenty, as the esse may be, provided
he haa bid it. It he has not bid it ha
must take partners. If the bidder's side
falls each adversary scores as many points
aa were bid. This Is better than setting
the bldder'a aide back.
Call far Best Car.
In seven hand euchre tha selection of
the partners was found ta be too much of
a lottery, as no one could tell which ones
held tha good cards unless blda had been
made. This led to numerous schemes f or !
getting hold of the partnera who could be
of some asslstsnce to the bidder. When the
Australian game of call ace euchre came
along It waa Jumped at and tha seven hsnd
game waa kept for large numbers of plsy
ers. In the Australian variety of euchre it it ,
not really the see that Is called en. but
tha best card in play of a named suit. Four,
five or six can play, but four makes the
best game and is the usual number. The
thirty-three card pack. Including the Joker,
la used for six players, twenty-nme cards
for five, twenty-five carda for four.
A trump la turned up in call the ace and
each player in turn can pa or order It up.
No one but the dealer can taka the trump
Into his hsnd. If all pass and the dealer
turns K down each In turn has a chance
to make it. The player who ordegj up,
takea up or makea the trump la allowed
to call on the best card of any suit but
trumps for his partner. This psrtner is
not revealed, however, until the card falls
In tha course of play!
If tha maker of the trump doe not want
any partner he can either announce to play
alone or he can, call for the best card of a
ault in which he holda the aca himself. If
the ace of the-called suit is not' In play
the holder of the king, or even the queen,
may be the partner.
If tha maker of the trump and h)s part
ner get three or four of the five tricks,
they score one point each. If they make
a march, they scora two in four hand, three
points in ftve or six hand If the part
nership is euchred each adversely scores
two regardless of the number of plsitrs.
The euchre of a lone hand .! count, two!
lt a lone band la successful in winning all
ftve trk-ks it scores one point for every
player at th table, four in four hand.

csvrd va, Br, siihoug,. U is tsaiiy nothing
or lees than tha French game of
carta. WhU true American amterprlsa
ar.a disregard ttt aid world prejudices some
playera era wsin the American rank of
tha car a a. but Tt kj no better gem on that
account. All it aooomplanea la to make It
esay to remember.
Tha thirty-two card pack la oaed, bttt
there is no Joker. The rank of tha cards la
pe"ultar. Inasmuch as the ace la not tha
best of the suit, tha order being K. Q J.
A. 1. . t. 7. both in cutting snd in plsy.
ft la more than probable that American
players will force the are into first placet
and "mark" it inatsad of the king: other
wise It ht Important to remember that ln
king la the beat and tha Jack will win the
see.
Disrard euchre Is a game for two plsy
ra only, and like piquet It la likely to be
come popular for that rearon.
The higher cut deals tha first hsnd anl
each- player receives five carda, three and
two. Tha next card la turned tin for tha
trump. If this Is a king (or an are. ;f
the ace Is to be the best ear tha dealer
marks one point for it Immediately. This
turned trump Is never taken into the hand
or changed, as In euchre.
Iaapwrtaat Part af Play.
Tha pretty part of the game la la tha
discard. The nondea'er, or alder hand,
looks at his five cards and decides whether
or not he will play thera aa they are or
ask for a chance ta discard and draw to
In-prove. No matter which he doea. he
cacnot change tha trump for that deal.
If ha decides to stsnd on his original
carda ha says "I play these." which com
pels the dealer to p'sy without discarding,
but it also obliges the elder hand to make
three of the five t ticks or he is euchreJ.
If the elder hsnd wsnts to drsw he says
"f propo." rr "Cards."
When the elder band aVs for cards. It is
the dealer's turn to ssy whether lie will
nlsv with Ms oriainsl hsnd or will drsw
" """
t Improve, and thst Is where the science
or tne gsme comes m
If he wsnts to
draw hlrnee'f lis rejjly to the demand.
"Csrds." is. "How nisny?" But If he re
fuses to taka csrds himself, he also re
ftises them to his adverssry by saying.
rwy. in- rrlu. v.. "-" "
for tn,m oH n!m ' m three
tricks out of Ihe five or he is euchred,
When a proposal to draw carda is made
and accepted, the trump card Is laid aside
and the carda asked for are dealt from
tha top of the park, after th number
asked for have been discarded. When the
elder hand baa asked for cards and they
are offered, he mtist take one. and he may
taka any number from one to f'.ve.
rroseM Bad Dram.
Ths elder hand being helped, the dealer
belpa himself, but neither player laa'.
lewed to look at hla diararda after they
trm; but these secondary proposals ana
refussls carry with them no penalty for a
euchre. A euchre Is poal onI?
the hands are played aa originally dealt.
Elder hand may continue to propose aad
draw as long aa there are any carda left
In tha pack, but the trump card remains
the sama. Aa soon as the dlscarda are
ended, through one or other announcing
that he will stsnd on hia cards, the first
thing Is to mark tha king. If It ia In play.
If either alder hand holds tha king of
trump h must announce It and score a
point for it before ha leads to tba first
trick. If he does not hold It, he must
say. '"I play. that the dealer may
mark tha king before m card is led. Other
wise the score for the king it lost.
Tha second player In each trick must
not only follow suit, but must win tha
trick If be can. To fall In either when able
la' a revoke. When a revoke Is discovered
the carda are taken back and played wr
again from that point. The revoking
player scores nothing if he makea the odd
trick and scares on only If he makes ail
five. If the revoking player does not mak
the odd trick there Is no penalty.
Five polnta 'la a game. Winning three
or four tricks counts one toward it and a
march counts two snd a euchre two. The
king always counts one. '
Tha great secret of success In this game
la to know upon what cards the plsyer
should stand aa elder hand or refuse to
gtve carda when he Is the dealer. Thera
Is bo game of carda In the world in which
thia haa bean figured down to auch a fine
point, so that it is impassible to find a
hand which cannot be mathematically dem
onstrated aa a "stand band" or a refusal."
Tha reeult of these calculations ara
known aa the eux de regto and they are:
Any hand with three trumps in it.
Any hand with two trumpa and three
carda of one suit as high aa a queen, or
two csrds in one suit and king of another
uit. or ' three carda of different suits as
high aa a king and Jack. (Remember that
the king Is the highest card.)
Any hand with one trump and three
winning carda In another suit, or a four
card utt to a king, or three carda of one
suit with twe queen in tha hand.
! w1th6ut trun,p hoUld hV
four court csras or tnree queens.
Thia 1 a' very fine game, which needs
only ta become better known to be the
favorttt of the euchre family.

' t.rrmg wa a regi l" t-lrru snd UteJ
tor a uxmlu. I avr saw so much wine
and btwae flow during th same period
tlnce. Sullivan, who waa backed by a
krews) ftllow named Miks Clsrka was
obliged lo remain In the caf during tha
entire month. Clarke knew that Sullivan
waa th drawing card and wouldn't let
him escape, a John at and slept in th
Joint while hundred of men galtered
around him.
X really believe tt wss this prolonged,
racket that caused Buiuvaa's first break
down. After two week of this sll dsy and
night wtiM gusaliag Sullivan waa a wreck,
but h stuck to It until natura finally com
pelled htm to quit. I think r waa th
ickest bis; man I ever saw when he was
carried to th hotel fer repair. Tin
saloon did but little business In John's
absence, and he got to tire of poaing aa
proprietor that ha finally sold his end for
a song.
"Sullivan next tried hia hand aa sport
lug sditar f a New Tork pictorial weekly
which waa Just be-fore he fought Kllrala;
but hi copy, when It waa In vldnea,
wa so flerc that the owner of tba paper
soon dropped John from tb payroll.
Dsseaa Harrison's Great Head.
"Duncan B. Harrison, th actor and
theatrical manager, thought h saw nig
money in getting Sullivan to appear ia a
play called "Honest Hearts and Willing
Hands.' It waa supposed to be a fin melo
drama but John, after song coaching,
mad It a roaring burlesque. It waa very
funny to e th big fellow trying to do
the heavy with his two paws hanging
stiffly at his side, like huge hams.
"Tha audiences used to laugh until they
cried when Sullivan tried to make lova to
Nora, the heroine of the play. He want
at it so fiercely It looked aa If ha waa go
ing to knock out Nora In one round. Bulll
van got to booting on tb road and th
show became stranded tn the backwoods,
the whole company being compelled to
scratch hard to get back to New Tork.
Bslda Harrison snd his slsr acaor had a
fearful row, which ram near being a
tragedy.
Aa a monologue artist, however. Sulli
van haa made more of a success, for dur
ing tb last four years h haa appeared
wtth his own burlesque company and haa
coined money, which he baa hidden away
ao that nobody can get it but himself.
John's a very wise old guy, all right, with
out tha boose.
"Prof, John Iaflink who had Sullivan
licked at Madison Square garden back in
1884 but didn't know It, er waa too yellow
to go in and finish John when b had him
hanging helpless on the Topes, ia th beat
preserved man of hla age la tha country.
He' M. yet looks Ilk or W, as straight
ss an arrow, hard a a rock. Ia th winter

"Tou'll remember that Jlra Corbett tried
the saloon business and really made money
at it, but ha did not fancy tha boot game
and got out when chance came to get his
pile. Corbett haa made a auccesa aa an
actor and la well fixed. He man to stick
to the footlighta and beoom th greatest
comedlsn that ever happened, ha saya.
"Th breesy Jack McAullffa ha had
many upa and downs outside of the ring.
Ha waa a cooper by trad before ho took
up fighting, and when he waa the light
weight champion he mad money faat
aa a bookmaker on the racetracks. At
one time he had a 1100,000 bank rolL Dick
Roche, who waa Jack's manager then,
woa asked by a young fellow from Jersey
who thought he could scrap to arrange a
match with McAultffe.
" 'I'v $1.0x0 of my own money to bet I
can win. said tha stranger. Roch pointed
McAultffe out to th Jersey man at the
race track. The lightweight champion waa
airing himself on the lawn in front of the
grand atand drtaaed to kill. When the
young fellow got Jack's ear he pleaded
hard for a fight, but Jack only smiled,
shook his head and said a $l.ono side bet
was no otfect. The youth walked off
dejected. A month later McAuliffe hunted
up Roche.
" "Where" the guy who wants to fight
me. Dick? Get "him quick! I'll go him! 1
need the money! I'm all in!' declared Mc
Auliffe, mho had gone broke on the ponies.
But the Jersey youth waa never found.
"McAuliffe also hsd been in tha saloon
businesa twice, and each time he haa re
tired gracefully without a decision against
him. He ran at one time som of th
moat successful pool rooms In town In
th good old dsy when it wasn't con
sidered auch an awful crime to play tha
race. Jack also hss been an actor, an
agent for a Wall street broker and la now
running a boxing club In Brooklyn.

CURES Jo)

Removing the symptoms fs not all that is necessary to cure Con-.
wgious Blood Poison. The virulent terms which produce these out
v srd manifestations must be completely driven from the Mood before a
real cure can be effected. The least taint left in the circulation will,
sooner or later, cause a fresh outbreak of the trouble, with all the hid
eous symptoms of ulcerated mouth and throat, copper colored splotches,
falling hair, sores and ulcers, etc
Contagious Blood Poison is the most treacherous of all diseases.
It has its victims in its power
almost before they realize its
presence, because its first
symptom is usually a little
sore or pimple so insignificant
that it does not excite sus
picion. But the insidious
poison is at vork on the blood
and in a short uhile the pa
tient finds he is more or less
affected from head to foot.
Contagious Blood Poison
is too dangerous to trifle with.
No time should be lost in rid
ding the blood of this destruc
tive poison, and in no disease
is it more important to have
the proper remedy. Medi
cines which merely check the
symptoms for a time and leave
the real cause smouldering in
the system have brought mis
ery and disappointment to
thousands. Faithfully the suf
ferers took such treatment,
usually of mineral nature, and
when all symptoms had dis
appeared and the treatment
was left off, found the virus
had only been shut up In the
system awaiting a favorable
opportunity to return, with
every symptom intensified.
S. S. S. cures Contagious
Blood Poison and cures it
permanently. It goes down
into the blood and , removes
every particle of the poison,
makes the circulation pure
and healthy, and does not
leave the slightest trace of the disease for future outbreaks. S. S. S.
is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, all of which are heal
ing and cleansing in their nature. It does not contain a particle
of mineral in any form to injure the delicate parts of the system.
S. S. S. will also drive out any lingering remains of mineral poison
that may be in the blood from the former treatment. If you are suf
fering with Contagious Blood Poison S. S. S. will cure you, because it
will purify your blood. Home treatment book and any medical advice
