Baseball Terms.

81 mentioned the other day as q base
ball term that had fallen into decay, :"
said Mr.. Bitterly, "the goose egg. ;
This term, time honored and once COM
monty employed, is now no longer
heard. Two other terms, once as famil-
lar and almost as commonly used, but
now put away on the same shelf with
the goose egg, are the 'redhot grounder
and the daisy cutter.
The daisies grow now just as they
did then, for which let us be duly CRATE
full, but the baseball is a daisy cutter
no longer. The balls are heated now
as redhot as ever-if anything, little
hotter-but such ball is no longer de-
scribed by the phrase, once familiar a
'redhot groundor. The extreme warmth
Of the sphere is now referred to in some
other manner.
THE fact il that in baseball, az in
all things else, fashions change, and
phrases that today seem TO glow with
descriptive fervor may tomorrow seem
dull and spiritless indeed New York
Sun.

Discomfted.

An amusing story is told of how the
late Lord Fitzgerald discounted a treas
ury official who was sent over from
England to complain Of the excessive
expenditure for coal in the lord chief
Justices court. He received the man
and listened gravely and formally while
the latter stated his errand and en-
larged upon the Importance of economy
in the matter of fuel. AT the conclu-
sion Of the discourse he rang the bell,
and when the servant appeared said,
Tell Mary that the man has come
about the Goals. "

- Simply my word.
THAT went do IN the banking
business. Who are you:

1T happened that the president knew
him by reputation, and after u short
talk with Pat he gave him the 81, coo

An Excellent q. Exhibition


The Mineral Range base ball club didn't
do a thing to the Hancock & Calumet
club 10 the game esterdsyl They simply
wiped the earth with them and when the
latter club recovered the score was 81 20
-. The game was foil Of features and
errors, and the crowd OF spectators Who
went 20 Hancock were more than amused
and interested. The battery work Of the
Mineral Range team was fue and Jerry
Downey played like a professional behind
the bat. The Mineral Rarge field aso
did good work. The feature OF the II K
c. game was the field work, one Of the
players in particular doing good work by
catching the ball in his coat. Seriously
speaking, however, the game was good
exhibition Of the national sport.
Train Dispatcher Niece, Of Hancock,
acted as umpire and gave satisfaction, ss
is evidenced by bis being still alive. Neil
Hume was official scorer. The II. 4 c.
boys were heard TO complain after the
game that the umpire was bought, and
said they want another game, but no ar
rangements have az yet been made.
Double plays and strike-outs were COM
mon in the first part OF the game, when
the scores we're almost even, but errors
commenced about the sixth inning when
the II, & balloon went up.
Captain Jack Lean is happy aud the
pray er OF the petition asking for his res.
ignation will not be granted. He played
a good game, and says be is INDICATED.
