JACK" GLASSCOCK HERE.
The Veteran Ball Player Drops Into I'll
City to Visit His Friends

The Veteran Ball Player Drops Into the
City to Visit His friends
"Jack" Glasscock was in the city
yesterday calling on his friends and
visiting his family on the Island. The
st. Paul team played in Columbus
Saturday and Glasscock took advan-
tage Of the cheap excursion rate on the
railroads to visit his home Jack is
in excellent shape and says his base
ball career will not terminate with this
season, and it will not, if his record
with st. Paul this season counts for
anything. He is fielding his position
and hitting the ball in way which
makes him the envy of all the "colts"
in the Western Association.
Battle AK" is the latest soubriquet
applied to Glasscock. He got it at
Columbus Saturday, when he received
the worst roast from the crowd that
he received in all his experience as
a ball player. 1t was all because Of
his recent fight on the diamond with
white Wings" Tebeau, who was last
year the undisputed rowdy champion
of the Interstate League. Tebeau
spiked the veteran in running to the
first bag and gave him a rather rough
answer when "Jack" demonstrated,
This led to hostilities, in which George
was bested, and each was fined $40.
Tebeau felt worse about being best
ed than on account of the fine, while
Jack" feels that he got value received
for his ten.
Glasscock says he has seen more ex-
hlbltions Of rowdyism this year in the
Western League than during any sin
gle year in his experience, and he
thinks the time will come when base
ball will rival foot ball in that respect.
He tells about Sandow Mertes. the
outfelder who has a playful habit
Of sliding into first base feet first. At
st. Paul they have hit upon a scheme
to stop Mertes. They will have a nice
large spike in the first bag when he
plays there again.

May pierce through the poets heart;
The artist fine may neglect his pie
For the sake of his sacred art;

May whisper with lovers signs;
And birdlings that glitter throughout the

May q hint of fair paradise
But I Who live on the Mcclure House side
With tx din of the cars in my ears;
cannot q cure the poetic glide
That win NIT me over the years,
And keep my purse in perpetual bulge,
My stomach aglow withl the "fizz"
So in roses and 1irdings r never indulge,
But simply lookout for the biz"

not batted to any extent thereafter.
The batting of Hamilton, Lowe, Tenny,

contest in which they were to engage.
Stuart said he received message from
Corbett saying he would start at once
to Kansas City and engage in prelim-

a telegram from Martin Julian saying
that Fitzsimmons' hands are in perfect

within the next three days for Nevada
and as soon as possible make his choice
of town for the battle. When that is
done he will begin work on an ampi-

FINANCIAL STATEMENT.
Excess Reserve OF New York city
Banks Steadily Increasing.

New York. January 3o.-The New
York Financier says this week:
The excess reserve Of New York City
banks is now approximately equal to
the combined capital Of the members
OF the Clearing House Association. and
the amount Is steadily INCREASING. The
decrease In loans SHOWS the effects Of
the present congested money market at
this center. The policy Of the banks un-
I'll this week has been to refuse to lend
money for less than per cent. as
many of them were paying that much
on balances; but. II the present move
to reduce interest on bank accounts TO
less than that amount Is successful.
