How Cleveland Filled the Cook With Cor
sterNatjou-

The rising" OF the rolls or "liRhtbread,
as 1t is called in Virginia, fills the minds
OF housekeepers with more misery than
any other care connected with the do
nestle arrangements. On extra &C.
casions, when company is expected, the
agony Of the good housekeeper is ap.
palling, until the Rubicon OF rising is
passed.
The day after the election OF Cleveland
the boys in the village Of l., Va,
upon invitation, repaired to the hospi-
table residence OF Winston Nj, to
celebrate the event and to Tecuperate
from the vigils OF the past night in watch
lug the election returns. The rarity OF
the occasion the election OF a demo-
cratic president-waso of itself sufficient
palliation for slight deviation from
strict prohibition principles, and the
boys knew that Mr.. NJ kept a supply
OF the means for deviation on hand.
Mr.. NJ was an old bachelor, and the
domestic arrangements OF his house were
attended to by old Aunt Sallie, his col
ored cook. While the boys were dis
cussing the election returns Aunt Sallie
busted herself arranging the table and
bringing in the refreshments. As she
placed the sugar dish on the table, one
of the boys noticed that her face wore a
very lugubrious expression, so he said to
her: "Hellc! Aunt Sallie, what's the

Merritt is young and made his repu-
tatlon during the early part OF the sea-
son. The Louisvilles had him on their
team last year, but didn't think enough
OF his playing TO sign him in the spring.
The Bostons gave him chance, and he
rushed to the front In the first month
as one OF the most successful catchers
in the League. He led the Bostohs In
batting and excelled in his field work.
Unfortunately ne was injured In one OF
the mIdseason games and laid up for
some weeks. Since his recovery he has
not done so well.
Tucker is considered one OF the best
first basemen living, and also the noisi-
est coacher. He never lacks for inter-
est in his clubs success, and his recent
drunken escapade at Cincinnati while In
uniform is deeply regretted by oil who
like earnest ball playing. Tucker will
surely be punished bv the League at its
annual meeting next month.
Bobby Lowe was brought from Cana
da by the Bostons when the Brother
hood rebellion made such havoc among
that clubs men. He turned out win

host OF friends by his modest demeanor
ard steady habits and good ball playing.
Last year he played In the out6eld, but
when Quinn was released Lowe was
placed at second base. Though the po-
sitlon was new TO him and Is one Of the
hardest to play on the diamond be has
filed IL most creditably.
Herman Long Is a Chicagoan and be-
gan his career 10 the west. He, too, Is
one OF the stars who sprang up during

will make the most marvellous stops, and
the next his work may be miserable.
But Long is what Is known as a winner,
and his occasional dumps are more than

In Nash the Bostons have the peer

Hugh Duffy ranks as one Of the very

Gastright, the fourth pitcher OF the

season OF 1893. Last year he was

Years ago when be was IN his prime

this season has not been good, and II Is
probematlcal whether he will be

is one OF the veterans who has out!asted
many OF his contemporaries by reason
of the excellent care be always took OF
himself. He is the only catcher still
PLAYING OF sixteen who did that service
for the National League clubs OF 1852.
Charley Gael is another veteran, but
having been In service fewer years than
Bennett he still has prestige and Will g.

For the third time in succession the

For the sixth time, tco, out OF the 10
years Of the National leagues eXls-
tence the Boston club has captur-
ed the championship. The six VIC

saw Captain Arson last week, just

three successive games, and he told me
with all the sincerity OF q Worlu alI
faklr that his team, as now organized,
WINS entirely satisfactory 10 him, and
that with it he ought next year TO win
the League championship. OF course
he expects Ryan TO be well again In
1894, and that will make his outheId
consist OF Ryan, Lynch aud WlImot;
his infeld, Decker, Irwin, Dahlen and
Campo; his pitchers, Causen, McGill,
Abbey and Hutchison, ana his catchers,
LANCE, Kittridge and Shriver. The
team, as thus constituted and as II Ia
now playing bali, should slrely make a
bid for place high up In the lists. Ny
impression is that Decker will be hx'
ture at first, and that Ia spite OF all the
old mans bluff he has played his last
season Of regular ball.
