PhHadslDhia Ne,cs.
My experience in the management of

He had just arrived from the Western

have Won in the last effort had it not been
for the advice of a st. Louis base ball
player. Starting from this city, we did
pretty well in the East and then we
struck Tor the West. In Cincinnati
we made $500 on a Saturday and a
Sunday afternoon. l then proposed to 90
South as far as New Orleans, but foolish
ly allowed myself to be persuaded to 20 to
st. Louis. This was the fatal step and
from that time our bardships began.
When we struck st. Louis it was fearful
ly cold for the season and we could not
play. The hotel bills rapidly used up our
profits and l decided to strike for Quincy.
Ill. l hadn't money enough to pay the car
fare, however, and the Indianapolis
and st. Louis Railroad Company
seized the girls trunks. We PLAYED, new
ertheless, at Quincy, but made no money.
We were then in a bad fix. | pawned my
watch, and with the proceeds | managed
to get the girls 10 Peoria, and PLAYED
there with the same want of success as in
Quincy. / was then completely broke,
and made the facts known to Buffalo Bill,
who was playing there. He paid our car
fare to Chicago. l negotiated a loan there
and managed to hire the armory for our
games, but they were Il miserable failure
1--WE now had no place to sleep and
nothing to eat. Thomas Gilligan, a sport
ing man, provided the girls with lodgings
for night and paid the rent of the armory
for another night, but we again failed to
draw, and l finally gave up all hope Of
making the business pay. | then ap-
pealed to the public through the press for
help, and the proprietor Of the J0uYpdl
gave me his check for $25. Awaiting the
result of these appeals for help to send
the girls home we were houseless, and
/ called upon the manager of the
Palmer House, a highly aristOcratic
hotel IN Chicago. He generously
invited the whole troupe to be-
come his guests for a day. We
lived high that day. Then l asked the
prOprietOrs of the other hotels to keep us
a night each until we conld raise suffici-
ent money to get home, and they all did so.
l tell you we had plenty ofgOod food, any
how. The Young Mems Christion AS
sociation came down with $S7. Mr.. Gill
ligan produced his check for $50, and
few politicians contributed. In all we
soon had $3.50. With this l released the
trunks held by the railroad company;
paid a hotel bill in st. Louis and soon had
the majority of the girls on their way
home. |. with three of the girls, remained
in Chicago to see that the baggage was
properly delivered, and then came on for
