a baseball player, has, during the last
month, been dividing space in tie newspa-
pers with the ROW expired Fifty-frst Con-
gress. Mr.. Duffy passed through Chicago
q lew DAYS go "a his way to Hot Springs
ana stopped OF q day. The result
temporary shelving @ Worlds Fair topics by
tue Chicago press and the wholesale use of
uprcr-case D. in reducing to type what Mr..
Duffy did auG said.
About fve wears ago this celebrated mem
her Of the pufy family was cleaning out
sewers in 4 New England town for the sum
OF s. a day That was all right for sewers
must be cleaned ou,, you know, and il isH't
every man who has the gift 20 DO it right.
And Nj. Duty was a real benetactor to the
pubic while he iabored tins particular call
ing.
Now however. Nj. Duffy travels ali the way
&c Chicago in a Pullman TO turn up the
nose which formerly scented lis duty from
rIar AT GisCracefuI offer Of "A COO for his valu-
be services ,or TWO hours each Jay during six
'onths in the wear. He would NOT consider
any offe- less than sGOoU. ami resumed his
luAGrIous Journey 10 Hot Springs.
Nj Duffy Is ball player wco doesn't give
rap for The future of The game. lie is bali
PLAYER tins year. Next year there may be DO
l'aIl PLAYING done; lie argues that he must have
velvet hanging ui' III his closet II be would not
J G forced II take down his shovel and hoe
agaC- If all bali players were ibutfvs, the ma
-I1uat game would he lost IN about two years,
atrg- which the sewers would get some atten-
llcn.
Fortunately the players who are able TO earn
more than uay Iaborer's wages arc the men
Nyao are most reasonable TO deal with when it
comes TO making CONTRACT with them for tbcIr
services.
How long will 1t be until baseball players
realize that clubs must make money if their
Profession is 10 continue permanent bus-
1ess2 They cannot take more money out of
Tie business JESu is drawn into It without un-
dCTD'ntuE the profession which gives them en-
plUyment.
There are few players who, 1 am glad to say. i
have begun to look little further than the |
size OF the salary promised FOR season. These I
lEen first ask. lIow much can that club pay In |
salaries and lct lose money? VIII get such a /
hala-y II sigt -Ui i-? IS tnere chance If 10 /

or Tor several seasons 10 come"
L IS not tie rolling stone among baseball |
PLAYERS that accumuates money. Men like |
Anson. GARRISON Reilly McFnee Ewing, Con
nor, ZmHer. Thomas Burns (of Chicago, and
BaUny Richardson, who remain faithful TO cue
ciub save their money and prosper. The
ECheming, dissatisfied. talking star is sure to
end about where he began. After that we hear
OF poor old Kelly, and of Duffy, The old-rimeT
running saloon somewhere down an alley.
Good ball PLAYERS who are reasonable in a
busi-ess sense, temperate, sclf-respecting. and
are endowed witD 4 spoonful Of b-aIns. ought 10
last on III average - years aS stars. But men on
lie Duiiy Jay are usually forgotten in less than
bG-t HAL perlol.
The cable Keeps Us informed of the move
lueEts OF John NJ Ward and the Prince of
Y ales in London. John seems 10 have the |
freedom OF the old town. and nobody has so far
accused him OF being Jack the Ripper. The !
English correspondents however. seem TO he
unable TO determine whether Mr.. W ard will |
take spin down into Italy or do q turn farther
north on the 'ConilGonE.'
Mr.. Ward is setting a new pace for ball play
ers. I look forward % The time when each
steamer VIII carry 10 Europe a few bail players
bert upon TegsIulng their health and getting
I'D Of = bunch OF advance money. It might be !
q much better mp LOT some things than tie
usual pilgrimage 10 Hot Springs. Mr.. Ward Is
the Moses ~ the crait. and ne should lead his
chil5TeE. They should FOLLOW.
