THE BALL PLAYERS,

Frank GeniDs, Jack Crooks and Bred
tenstein will winter in St. Louis.
Pittsburgh has signed Pitcher Abbey
of the Washingtons and will let Mark
Baldwin go.
John Montgomery Ward Is going to
Canada to hunt bear. Then he will
wind up chasing grouse in Georgia.
Hutchinson will winter in Cedar
Rapids, Ia, where he usually gets some
work to do in a railroad freight office
The Wagners, who mismanaged the
Philadelphia Brotherhood club, are in
trouble over their Washington venture
and may sell and retire.
Gus Schmelz will manage the WASH
ingtons of 1898 and Of the present team
only Richardson, Larlin, Killen, Rad
ford and Hoy are to be retained
Neutrality-suspicious. may regard tho base
ball future with equanimity. Come
what will, the capital will have strong
team next season.
Glasscock, the once great short stop.
that the cause Of his fall was spite,
born Of his treachery to the dead and
gone Players league.
''Silver'' King suffered moro hnan-
ctally this season than any other Giant.
His salary was cut $3.50 and he was
fined $500 for leaving the club without
permission.
Nashville, Charleston, Augusta and
Savannah are anxious to get in the
Southern league next year. They
couldn't be dragged in this year, but
are hungry for it now.
The Southern league had tho most
successful season this year of any in
its history. A franchise in the organi-
zation has now a marketable value,
which was never the case before.
1t is pretty good betting that Man
ager Pat Powers viii again pilot the
New Yorfzs next season. He did SO
well this year under most adverse cir
cunstances as to merit another years
trial under better conditions
It is an open secret that tho salaries
of the New York ball players are long
overdue. The reasons given are loss
of about sec, oos, politics engaging some
of tho stockholders and the present
absence of j. w. Spaldipg and past
absence Of E 3. Talcott All the
stockholders, including three or four
Chicago men, will have to stand an as
seSSment

"Buenos dios, senior"
You raise your eyes from your work.
A little, lean, chocolate-colored man,
ment with an indolent liver. stands be-
fore you, hat in hand 1t passes
through your mind vaguely that the
salutation is Spanish for Good day,
SIR" or something of the kind.
Does the senior spik SPANISH"
No, the senior does not speak Spanish;
he has only walked that way OCCASION

''Parlez vous Francois. monsieur?"
asks the partner of the torpid liver.
No, mounseer does not parlez any
thing but English.
Pardon, but 1 spik the Inglees YER

It's the same racket, the very same.
that took you in two years ago You
don't want any.
Pardon, senior, but he ees YER fne
and YER chip. All, senior, abiige me;
try him"
Then the mauve, shave Cuban looks
all around very cautiously, very sus-
piciously. and suddenly takes You into
his confidence. He intimates in inver-
tebrate English that the cigars, of
which he has but two or three hundred,
have in some way lodged the revenue,
and so he, humble benefactor that he
is, can sell them at about half what
they would cost if the customs had not
been defrauded.
"Ah, senior, he ees a becg, what you
call? Ell? bargain? But"-and here he
lifts his shoulders to level with his
ears-'I must ra-turn to my dear Cuba
Come. senior, it ees bargain"
The tempter holds bunch of fifty
before you-long. slender. shapely.
There is delightful fragrance in the
room The Cuban pushes cigar
through from the center Of the bunch.
You take it. You seem to be making a
selection yourself, for you are under
strange hypnotic spell
Delicious! The smoke wreaths curls
about you as you puff away, filing the
air with ravishing aroma The Cuban
continues to talk-a low, soothing mon
otone that dulls your conscience and
puts suspicion asleep.
Yes, you will assist him TO rob the
government. There are some things
about the tariff you don't like very
well any way. Besides you viii do
worthy act in assisting a Cuban exile
to return to his family and native
land.
So you buy bunch Of fifty, and. with
profound thanks, the poor foreigner
leaves.
By this time the first cigar was burn
ed out In delightful state Of exhi-
leration you take a second Hello,
what's this? Not at all like the frst
A villainous weed; there's piece Of
rope in it You try third, fourth,
fifth; not one Of them but would suffer

burns better, but gives out more heat
