ANlCe OLD GENTLEMAN.
He Stands tho Boys on at Poker and
nanier Mountainssr,l

A nice, pleesant-mannered fatherly old
gentleman struck the town q short time
AGO. Everybody was much impressed by
his patriarchal appearance and his pious,
sanity manner. Strange to say he asso-
ciated with tho sporting element and was
often seen gazing upon tho changes of for
tune that followed the chips on faro lay
| out.
Good people Mt once rushed 10 the con-
clusion that our venerable friend was mis-
sionary who followed the apostolic maxim
of being all things TO all men. and was
mingling with the worshippers at the shrine
of the Goddess of Chance in order to bring
them to sense Of tho error of their ways.
He certainly did good deal to disgust
some Of them with the seductive poker
and tho deceptive faro box. Perhaps
fiat, too. was a part OF his reform
atory plan. Our old friend was
again and again greatly pressed TO
take hand and finally he yielded TO the
blanishments and sailed in. Talk about
luck! Such luck was never seen as this
patriarch was blessed with. There seemed
10 be some magnetic attraction about this
venerable person that was irresistible.
The chips" just tumbled over his way
and the cards seemed 10 place themselves
exactly 20 suit his hand. Some thought
no had the "black art" bis luck was so
phenomenal. but at last, 10 use vulgar
phrase, tho boys got onto his racket and
the patriarch made mp his mind that a
change of air would be good for him.
The whole secret was that the good old
man had strong reflector on his finger,
and of course could read the cards as they
went out. His little game was discovered
before the old gentleman was aware OF IT.,
and he discovered also that Lander men
nre no fools. There il such thing out
West here rs the double crossn; that's
what the boys played on him. When the
venerable fraud found luck turning against
him he skipped. lie may be in kawlins,
Laramie, or Cheyenne now. Wen likely
hear from him again.

Annthcr Hase-RnIl Deal.
baltimore sun

Tho ewes OF all men who control base-
ball In the entire country are now turned
upon the American Association. The affairs
OF the time-hOnored organization have be-
come mixed IN an ugly tangle which may
produce the most far-reachlng develop
nents, affecting the sport as carried
ON for money-making business.
Some Of the clubs are deceiying others
bv Matching all sorts OF plots and
secret deals. and unless Manager Barnie
and other men who have been allied with
the best element in the association put a
stop to the proceedings public confidence
in the games honesty will be seriously
weakened. Manager Morton, Of Toledo,
who represents the clubs which are being
crowded toward the little end Of the horn,
began circulating paper in baltimore last
week calling a special meeting for Septem-
ber 18th, but Mr.. Barnie telegraphed Presi-
dent Phelps yesterday requesting another
gathering in Philadelphia next Monday.
Tue new plan is 70 have the association
men assemble at the same time with the
Athletic stockholders, and, while keeping
watch upon the fate OF the totterlng
club, TO count noses and learn who's who.
There is A bare possibility that the start
ling spectacle OF br. Barnio fighting side
by side with the redoubtable Won der Abe
may be presented. When the midnight
chickering's Of Won der Abe. Phelps, and
Whitaker with the brotherhood repre-
sentatives were discovered, the tendency
was TO form a clique Of five clubs
against three, with Managers Barnie and
Morton as the "bosses.n Baltimore, To-
ledo. Columbus, Syracuse. and Rochester
were then out in tho cold. but now Mr..
Barnie has been taken into Phelps's conf
dence. end If he joins with the opposition
the four-club deadlock which broke UP
the association last fall may be repeated.
Tho Syracuse, Rochester. and Toledo
clubs feel that their positions are TO some
extent insecure, and they are therefore
distrustful of the bigger fish in the pool.
The four powerful clubs have some big
scheme on hand. about which they are
maintaining the deepest secrecy, but Mr..
Barnie, VINO is one of the few baseball
men in the country who have never mis-
stated points Of the kind, SAYS positively
there is TO be no amalgsmatiOn. He de-
mes that the Brotherhood and Association
are to DO joined together in any way, but
is silent upon some significant aspects OF
the case. lie protests that the Athletics
must DO In tho Association this year and
the next and says Baltimore will be IN
some strong organization, too. In we'll
informed baseball circles the outcome OF
the approaching meeting Is awaited with
great interest.

Tho day for us to set out to the White
dawned bright and clear, and we were just
delighted. Our trunks were packed and
at tho depot the evening before, so we had
nothing to do "a we thought, but break
fast aud catch the early train. This indis-
pensable, however, was three hours late,
and the delay broke us up all around. for
it caused US to miss the connecting train
in Dnnville and to lay over there six hours
and in Lynchburg all night. Thus many
would have termed ours q bad beginning,
but we did not grieve much, having lots
of things about which to talk, THINK, and
reckon.
