'BRADLEY's CUTE TRICK.
Beat the Chicago Team Easily With
soft Ball.

Frank Bancroft recently told q story
explanatory of the occasional successes
in the pitchers box of George Washington
Bradley. According to an exchange, it was
Mike" McGeary who taught Bradley the
soft ball trick.
The balls were always taken out of the
paper boxes by McGeary and pounded until
they became quite soft. Mac would have
his men play short field from the start,
and one or two runs were generally enough
to win the games ut st. Louis.
Bradley could make "A soft ball talk, and
with Clapp to coach him IL was 3 to they
could win any game they played at home.
Bradley got big reputation out of his
work that season and was secured by the
Chicago club for 1877 to take Al Spalding' $
place. =
The ball was made livelier the next
year, as the public demanded more batting,
| and without the help OF McGeary and Clapp
Bradley made bad failure and was re.
leased that fall.
The next season, while Bradley was
with New Bedford, the ChicagOs went
there for game, and Bradley proceed
ed to work his celebrated trick. He
took the box containing the ball into the
kitchen of the hotel and steamed it SO that
the label would come off.
Then he carried 1t to carpenters
shop wrapped in the heel of stocking,
was as mellow as q ripe pear. Then he
put it back in the box, sealed 1t up and
took it out to the ga me.
The ball was thrown TO the umpire,
who broke open the box and tossed the
ball to Bradley, The latter grinned in
his own original, fiendish style, and took
his place in the box. Brad" could
make the soft bail do everything but
talk. He sent it in with all kinds of
shoots and curves.
In consequence New Bedford knocked
the Windy City team out by a score Of
to L. Bradley was the hero Of the
hour. He could have had anything in
New Bedford, from the city hall to "a
craDk's best girl. These tactics were
kept up. and they won the championship
of the New England League.
Bradley was again on earth in con-
sequence, and signed with Troy next
season at a good salary, but failed again
as pit cher. finally proving himself good
third baseman with one of the Canadian
clubs.

CHLORORORM FOR ELEVEN
Entire Family Put Under Its Inau-
encs by New York Burglars.
Tenement House Looted by Clever
Thieves who Did Not Get
Much Booty.

New York, Dec 27.-Robbers chloro-
formed eleven persons as prelude TO loot
ing the tenement house at ESQ Mott street,
which is less than one block from police
headquarters. The affair occurred carly
in the morning. The result OF the thieves
raid was that they secured $500, two over
coats, and an old Italian watch.
The burglary occurred in the apartments
of Giuseppe Romano. He hiIs a saloon on the
ground floor, aud with his sister and her
husband and eight children lives In three
small rooms at the rear.
All went 10 bed at i O'Clock q. M, securely
boiling the windows and locking the door.
Romano slept III one little bedroom and his
broih her and the rest occupied the other bed
room.
Al O'Clock "a. N. Romano's sister awoke.
She said that there was strange odor IN
the rooms, which all agreed later musthave
been from the chloroform used by The rob-
beers. Otherwise they claim that the burglars
never could have gone through the bedrooms
in the manner they did, rifling the clothing
and with all the noise necessary in going
through the apartments in the dark hours
or the morning, for there were no lamps
lighted,
Ronano's sister says there is window
opening into the alleyway from which per-
son could easily step INTO Tie apartments
through the window.
Evidently a knife had been used, having
been inserted between the two sashes By
this means the bolt on the window was
pushed back and the sa sh easily raised.
Prior to that the blinds had been broken
open.
A pocketbook lay on the window ledge,
but the contents had cen tai ken out.
Romano says his sister had between $500
and $500 in the pocketbook which was In
her dress pocket. She had left the dress
hanging near the head or her bedstead.
ROnlano's pocketboOk, in which there was
quite Il large sum OF money, was taken from
his trousers pocket. Another pocketbOok.
containing a smaller sum OF money, was also
stolen. besides two overcoats and the watch
