Candidates for battery places on the
Harvard varsity nine were called out
last week. Although more than a score
of ambitious twirlers or back-stops re-
sponded to Capt. Rand's summons it
was not, on the whole, a very promising
lot. The Harvard captain will have to
develop, with tine assistance of Pitcher
Lewis of the Bostons, who is to coach
Harvard this year, brand new battery
to take the place of the Paine and Scan
nell combination. At this stage Nc
Cormick, who pitched for the freshmen
last spring, but who was debarred from
the varsity by the one-year residence
rule, is eligible. He was regarded last
year as next best to Paine. Then a
man named Dell, from a western college,
is also said to be first-class. Apprehen-
sions regarding the position of catcher
are less numerous, and undoubtedly a
good back-stop will be developed

The recent unsuccessful attempt made
by Kelley of Princeton to be elected
captain of the Tigers base bah team
next season, has brought to light lit
tie story, to the truth of which Kelley
can attribute his defeat 1t seems that
two years ago when the Princeton nine
was playing Harvard at Cambridge
with Jerry Bradley as captain, Kelley
reached first at point where runs were
very much needed. Capt. Bradley or
dered MIN to steal second, but he hung
close to the bag until knocked home on
the next mans three bagger. Kelley
was held up by his captain for refus-
ing to obey orders. The result was that
Kelley did not play in the remaining
games Of the season. But for that piece
of characterization Kelley would surely
now have the title of captain before his
name

that a little Indian blood will mix we'll

He came to the Carlisle Industrial

His income from the Browns in those

When the National League and Amer
lean Association clashed horns In 1884,
Won der Ahe's check-book was brought
into constant requisition to avert disas-
ter. 1t was his money and pluck that
led to the invasion of the league terri
tory in Cincinnati by an American
league team When his ready money
ran low, he had resource to his credit
at the bank where he had always done
business and he was readily accommo-
dated without security to the extent Of
$29, 600. When he found $4,000 more
necessary, he mortgaged his own resi-
dence and property to the bank for $44,

boast that in his fight with the Ma
tional League, the overtures for peace
came from the other side. Won der
Abe, although seeing he could not main
tain the struggle another year, present
ed a bold front and forced the other
side to make the proposition which re-
suited in amalgamation into the present

A high-liver and free-spender from
the time that prosperity attended him.
Won der Ahe's expenses have far ex-
ceeded his income since 1890, when his
base ball fortunes began to wane. His
affairs seem to have steadily gone from
bad to worse under the accumulation of
debts. Mismanagement has character
lied his conduct Of the Browns in re-
cent years, persistently insisting in SELL
ing his good men for poorer players and
cash. In five years he has had such
successful managers as W. H. Watkins
now president of the Pittsburg Club
Al Buckenberger of the Syracuse Club
and a score or more of players who
have served in managerial capacity
from week to month. 1t is truly a
source of surprise that he has averted

Byrne, which occurred last week at his
home in Brooklyn, removes from the
game one of its brightest executive Off
GERS. He has been a prominent figure
in the legislation of the game His
wisdom, diplomacy and executive abil-
ity were instrumental in solving many
political tangle in base ball. He was
the first to suggest and favor COM

the New York Club Were 1t not for
Mr. Byrne's assistance in settling this
celebrated case out Of court, the ma
tional agreement and the reserve rule
might have been shattered beyond re-

One of Mr.. Byrne's red-letter achieve

Carruthers, Foutz and Bushong were
sold to the Brooklyn Club for $21, 900.

! bonus, Byrne offered to ship
! Chris the entire ball playing
outfit of the Brooklyn Club to st. Louis,
thus giving Chris a fortune in cash as
well as base ball team. But the offer
was pooh-poohed by Won der Abe. IF
the Browns are worth $4,000 to Cha

through. But Byrnes got together a
good team, nevertheless, and in 50 won

Chris Won der Abe was born in Prus-
sia % years ago; but when II years old
he left his fatherland to seek fortune
in the new world. Upon his arrival in
New York his stock in trade consisted
of an iron will and a slim purse. He
remained in New York only a short
time, when he started for St. Louis, and
there he has lived ever since AS

Those who nave watched the career
of the Browns and also Won der Ahes
own efforts to keep away the throes of
him in the face so long, have had an
idea for long time that something
must drop. They still believe it is only
a question of a few days when some
authentic announcement concerning tine
disposition of the club will be made.
Indications of trouble began to appear
last fall. when he adopted the policy of
selling off his players by piecemeal for
cash only. Next Wednesday Chris must
meet obligations amounting to $32, 800,
so it is said. How he will do this in his
present precarious pecuniary position.
remains to be seen.
