OLD-TIME BALL PLAYERS.
Calling of Some Men Who Once Set
s.EaDs5l Wild

There is one delightful trait of char
acter in the true blue base ball fan, and
that is the interest with which he fol-
lows, year after year, the fortunes of a
favorite player, says the Buffalo Times.
He watches his ebb and flow with a re-
gard hardly less intense than if it were
himself, and long after the object of his
Solicitude has retired from the glare of
publicity, will make inquiries concern
ing his favorite's present occupation
and residence. Of course, only in a
comparatively few cases can exact in
formation be given, as in the last de-
cade and a half at least 1000 players
nave played professionally in this coun-
try. 1t Is different however, in the case
OF the major league players, and for the
sake OF their admirers the Times has
gone to some pains to collect and ar
range in convenient paragraphs all the
information that could be obtained on
the points named. The name of the
ton, and residence, as follows:
Kid Baldwin-Tramp
Al Bushong-Dentist, Worcester, Mass.
Big Chief Roseman-Saloonst New York
Blondie Purcell-Race trace bookmaker.
Nat Hudson-Lumber, Chicago.
Hick Carpenter-Pnllman car conductor
Billy Holbert-United States secret service.
Pete Gillespie-CoSl miner, Pennsylvania.
Harry L: Taylor-Eawser, Buffalo.
Paul Cook-Saloonss Rochester.
Louis.
George McGinnis-Giassblower, st. Louis.
5 Ned Morris-SalooHist, UPittsburg.
Tom Dolan-Fireman, st. Louis.
Joe Sommer-CovihgtonlK Ky.
Leech Mackrey-Aetistp' Pennsylvania.
Juice Latham-Motosman, Utica.
Gus Alberts-Saloonist,; St Joseph, Mo.
Peekaboo Veach-Railroad fireman, Indian
apolis.

some extent also in groceries. The
trade reports from interior points show
better feeling. But the high rates of
discount and some sensitiveness about
the outcome of large maturings Of
loans at this juncture have in some
measure held large operations in check
for the moment.
By far the most serious of all obsta-
cles to revival comes from the attitude
Of congress towards remedial legisla-
t1on on the currency situation. The
feeling is universal that there can be
no abiding confidence until something
radical Is done towards purging our
monetary system from its unsound ele-
ments. And yet it seems impossible to
arouse congress to any just comprehen-
sion OF the paramount Importance the
people attach to this factor. The &C
tion of the house is held in suspense
between the clamOr of the SilveriteS
and the cheap money advocates on the
one hand and the sound money senti-
nent on the other; while the senate
can apparently be depended upon for
nothing better than free-coinage
schemes. Among political leaders, the
question is not what conservative SEN
ments asks or the impending dangers
demand, but what suits the ends of
party politics. 1t is deemed politically
convenient to keep the whole question
open, so that the mere politicians may
play fast and loose with 1t pending the
election excitement; and thus not one
step is taken towards settling the most
important issue now before the coun-
try. The misfortune Of this inaction
Is that we can have no assurance that
1t Will be changed for a policy Of sound
reform after the election purposes have
been served. If the party leaders feel
at liberty to make the question subser-
Went to political expediencies, there is
no saying how long they may choose
to continue that treatment, nor what
sort Of vicious compromises they may
propose to get it out of the way This
dangerous dallying with situation of
the utmost delicacy and of real peril
calls for the prompt and earnest union
of the friends Of sound money, ire
spective Of party lines and in firm de-
fiance of the willy influences of party
leaders. The one thing that at this
moment needs to be impressed upon
congress is that the solid sentiment of
the country is determined to put this
question outside of political control,
and to arrange their party affiliations
accordingly.
