SPORTING.
Tommy Leahey VIII go to Pittsburg.

IOmmy WIN W
Another former Brattleboro base ball
player will be found in the National league
next season, Tommy Leahey, catcher for
the Springfield Eastern league club, having
been drafted by Pittsburg. Leahey first
played professionally at Waterbury, Conn.
Other members of the team there were
Klobedanz, the Boston pitcher; LaChance,
the Brooklyn first baseman, and NJ. j..
Hickey, who was with Brattleboro four
seasons. Leahey came to Brattleboro with
Hickey and his work here was so good that
Denny O'Neil, then the Brattleboro cap
tain, induced him to enter Holy Cross col
lege, where he caught for two years, being
captain of the team the last year. He
caught one summer at Northampton and
the next year at the end of the college sea-
son Joined the Springfield club, where he
has played four years. He has always been
regarded as one of the best Of the Eastern
league catchers, but as a batsman he has
had many superiors.
Leahey will make the tenth BrattlebOro
player in the years 1SS9-93 who has seen
service in the big league. Tom Dowd is
the present captain of the st. Louis club,
and Arlie Pond is one of Baltimore's most
reliable pitchers. Mike Sullivan pitched
successfully for Washington, Cleveland,
Cincinnati and New York Fred Wood
cock was Pittsburg pitcher for short
time, and Harry Burrell won eight out OF
II games in which he pitched tor st. Louis.
Denny O'Neil covered first base for ST.
Louis short time. Connie Murphy caught
for Chicago and Cincinnati, and will prob
ably be with Providence in the Eastern
league next season. James Garry was Civ
en- trial as a pitcher by Boston, but did
not prove a su cess, and is now an out
fielder at Syracuse. "Yale" Murphy Sa'

team two seasons.

He Saw Speaker Reed.

Representative Washington of Tennes-
see recently called on Speaker Reed to
secure action on the claim Of the Meth
odist Publishing House Of Nashville for
100000 as reimbursement for their
building, destroyed by troops during the
war. Mr.. RCcd's pclicy against mort
gaging the next administration with
large appropriations is we'll known. MIR.
Washington had pleaded several times
for recognition in vain, and the speaker
had listened attentively. Finally Mr..
Washington said:
'Mr Speaker, what can I tell my
constituents to show that I am doing
something in their behalf"
The speaker looked at the genial Ten
nessee member for moment and drawl-
ed, Joseph, just tel them that You
saw me" Then the speaker smiled,
paused bit and added, Tell them
sometimes you think / will, and some-
times you think l won't"

Another railway hero is added to the
list of gallant fellows who have sacri-
feed their lives TO save the lives of 9th
ers. AT Trenton Isaac Slack, freight
conductor, saw four cars break loose
from train he had just left and start
down the track for head on collision
with an approaching passenger train.
He made rush and succeeded in climb
ing to the top Of the first car and in
putting on the brake. IL was too late TO
prevent the collision, and the shock
threw him TO the ground and instantly
killed him. But his effort had nearly
stopped tho freight cars, and the crash
was not great enough to injure any one
else. The American soldier and sailor in
their best estate are not more faithful or
devoted than is the brave American rail
road man. Washington Times
