Jimmy McJames, of the Senators, is a
neat penman his letters showing a Spen-
cerian efficiency pleasing to the eye, and
complimentary to his skill However, he
is no relation to Jim, the Penman, made
famous by the histrions. Jimmy is a
native of South Carolina. He Will reach
Washington the latter part OF the month,
so he states in letter to The Times.
Owing to Coach Joe Kelly's ailment,
the Georgetown baseball boys are work
ing under the direction of Capt. Mccarthy.
Kelly is suffering from an abscess in his
upper lip and is under physicians care
in Baltimore. The matter is not at all
serious, only aggravating, and Kelly ex-
poets to take the whip" again in few
days.
Tom Brown tried to wheel his bike
through the maze OF humanity and vehicles
and the general flotsam and jetsam on
the Avenue yesterday morning, but after
colliding with a herdic, a Greek candy
pedderrS cart, two new women" cyclers,
and a dozen or more rural visitors, who
had no eyes except for the tops of the
tall buildings, he gave it up as bad
job. Tom says it was worse than trying
to steal bases in Baltimore.
The Catholic University club contracted
several days ago with Capt. Tom Brown,
OF the Senator's, for his services as coach

baseball club during the summer, is al
ready preparing for the coming season.
Several we'll known amateurs of this
city have received fiattering offers to be-
come members of the team, and it is quite
probable that a couple of the boys will ac-
cept. Their business connection will not
permit the use of their real names In base
hall scores, but that does not prevent them
from playing the game like professionals.
The Orange club, in addition to along string
of other victories, last season, won from
the Washington and Boston leaguers.

TO WRITE AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
This Is Mr.. CIevelaDd's Plan for
the Quiet of His Princeton Life.

President Cleveland told his personal
friend and admirer, exc ouimS SslOner OF
Agriculture Coleman, says the Chicago
Post, that he was going To devote his spare
time during the next few years, or an IN
definite period, to the writing or BOOK
on autobiogTap phical lines, dating fIom MS
election to the mayoralty of Buffalo Gown
to the 4th of March, 1897. He says he III
going TO live the life of a retired gentle
man so far as he may be permitted TO Go so,
and viii not engage in the practice OF law
He says he will not open law office hinl-
self, or he a member of any law IInl,
either with Mr.. Carlisle or anybody else
He said further that he would ever appear
before Jury publicly or in any court in the
trial of lawsuit He has now arrived at
the age of nearly sixty years, and, being
in the possession of a comfortable compe-
tence, will devote the remainder OF his
life TO quiet pursuits. He diselaimed any
intention OF engaging in the systematic
study of theology and again repeated his
remark that he would devote his energies
to the preparation of an Autobiography
He said he has been accommodating large
amount OF data bearing upon the SUBJECT,
and would take his time to compiling the
story and make it as complete as possible.
mfr. Cleveland has no idea how long it
will take to complete this seifimposed
work." says Mr.. Coleman, ''but it is very
clear that he anticipates great pleasure
in it's preparation. The Princeton home
stead, he says, was bought by Mrs. Cleye-
land without his ever seeing the place. He
authorized her to select the city or town
that would suit her best for a permanent
place of residence, to pick out a house and
to buy it, He said he had very little doubt
that he could live happily and comfortably
in any home that Mrs Cleveland might like
wellenought to buy astheir rpermanentabode.
He observed that it was his ambition to
rid himself as much as it is possible TO 90
of responsibilities of public or private ma
ture, and il he could live long enough to
see his three girls well educated and happily
married be would consider that his life had
been as nearly perfectly successful as is
often allotted mans to be. He feels that
his public career has the Endorsement OF
the American people, and that his public
acts have been fully yindicatedin every inn
portant particular.
MIR. Cleveland has not been In better
physical health in ten years than he is at
this moment. The outdoor life that he has
led so much during the last two years fas
built him up again."
