ward did the law allow small boys to
vote. says the Chicago Times-Herald.
At the same time 1t may be said that
Mr.. Johnson will get the votes of a
goodly number of the big boys who can
vote and who have not outgrown their
love OF the national game. Ralph may
not know much about parliamentary
usages, but he declares that he knows
enough not to let any grounders get by
him in the way of gift franchises. He
doesn't propose to be backstop for
corporations. and promises to put up a
good game that will please the bleach
ers as we'll as the grand stand of the
ward. Mr. Campbell, who has been
playing for his release, has neglected
SO many chances that Mr.. Johnson feels
assured of making a much better aver
age, both at voting and covering his
field. Paradoxically, Mr.. Johnson
urges his weakness as team player as
a recommendation. and promises to
play strong Undivided game in prefer
ence to watching the gang and work
ing with it. Another thing, Mr.. john
son defies anyone to show that he ever
played crooked ball. He was never
known to throw game, and if he is
signed by the twelfth ward that diyi-
sion of the city will be certain that its
man will never overthrow base or
miss a chance to put the ball over the
fence whe ma four-bagger is needed to
win. Again, Mr.. Johnson's friends say
he is great kicker, and that If he goes
into the council he will not let the UNI
pire BLUM him and call him out when
he gets to base fairly. In short, Mr..
Johnson believes that his training ON
the green diamond has more than met
aphorically fitted him for the council
chamber and that with little good
coaching from an older player, say Al
derman Walker, he will be star in one
season. At all events he will go to the
bat, and If he ever gets on the bases

Chris sues Again,

From Baltimore Sun: Chris Won der
Abe instituted separate suits for $500
each in the Superior Court against Ed
ward Hanlon, of the Baltimore Base
ball and Exhibition Company. Both
suits are on bill of exchange dated
July &c, 1896, and signed by Mr.. Han
Ion. The claim, as the papers state,
is for the expenses of the Baltimore
club in st. Louis. The suits were
docketed by George R. Willis and Jos.
w. HAZEL, attorneys. Regarding the
suit Mr.. Hanlon says: "The Baltimore
club has every year until this year
paid Won der Abe its proportion of the
rental of Pendleton Park, which was
leased in the year of the Brotherhood
fight 1t amounted to about $3.50 an
nually. This year, before it was due.
Won der Abe attached our receipts in
st. Louis for five days, amounting to
about $500. The last time l told Won
der Abe had to have some money to
take the club to Boston, and got $500,
signing a note for the amount. Now
he sues on that note, though he has
s., 500 of our money locked up. and we
only owe him about $3.50 in ALL"

Fannie Buckley. portrait of whom

Bulkeley Hills. New York singer of
note. She inherited musical gifts and
has trained herself for the operate

Goodwin,s Graft.

Our Cincinnati correspondent, F. E.
Goodwin, has entered new branch of
baseball, which will be of material as
sistance to the minor leaguers. The
smaller fry has all along felt the need
of base ball employment bureau, and
to fill this want he will devote a share
of his time this winter. Mr.. Goodwin
will attempt to secure situations for
young, deserving ball players, who
want to improve their chances. This
bureau will be of great benefit alike to
the player and manager, as much less
correspondence is necessary than when
Goodwin assisted materially in build
ing up strong teams in the Southern
and Texas Leagues, and with increased
facilities now should be able to do
still better this spring. Managers wish
ing only good players, fitted for their
strength, and players who can show
ability, would do we'll to give him a

The Umpire Inspector.

The idea of the League in preparing
to appoint an inspector of umpires as
assistant in Nick Young is to compel
the umpire to enforce the rules-some-
thing he has not done for years. during
which the rule against players disput-
ing his decisions has been dead letter.
Next year he will be expected to en-
force that rule though the heavens
fall and the rooters riot. There will
be a mentor over the umpires to see
that no responsibility is shirked. This
supervisor of the staff," as he might
be called. will drop in on game here
and there and somewhere else and re-
port any laxities in the work of Mr.,
Young's staff.

the vote was unanimous. Now, while
the Brooklyn club voted for Mr.. Sodel:

Mr.. Soden seen fit he could have saved
the League a lot of trouble. "Mr.

OF Soden by saying: THE idol of years

The western magnates claimed to see
the clever handiwork of A. H. Soden in
the plans mapped out by Freedman, of
New York. The extended fishing trips
taken by these gentlemen resulted in
several valuable lessons to the New
York man, and his good work with the
Wagners and DIR. STICKY, of Louisville,
was proof that Mr. Soden knew his
