THE EXPIRING BASEBALL FAN
The Ruling Passion Strong at the
Time of Death.


Once upon Time a Baseball Fan lay on
his Death Bed He had been Rooter from
the days of Underhand Pitching. 1t was
simply Pie for him 10 tell in what year
"Anse" began to play with the Rockfords
and what KelIy's batting average was the
Year he sold for Ten Thousand. If you
asked him who played Centre for Boston
in 1856 he could tell you quick-right off
the reel. And he was a walking Drec-
tory of all the Glass Arms in the Universe
More than once he had let drive with Pop
Bottle at the Umpire and then yelled Rob-
ber," until his pipes gave out. For many
Summers he would come Home, one Eve
ming after Another with his Collar melted,
and tell his Wife that the Giants made the
Colts look like bunch of Colonial Danes
playing Bean Bag in Weedy Lot back of
an Orphan Asylum, and they ought to put
Trained Nurse en- Third, and the Dummy
at Right needed an Automobile, and the
New Man couldn't jump out of Boat and
hit the Water, and the Shortstop wouldn't
be able TO pick up Ball if it was handed
TO him on Platter with Water Cress
around it, and the Easy One to Third that
ought TO have been Sponge Cake was fielded
like One Legged Man with ST. Vitas'
dance trying TO do the Nashville Salute.
OF course she never knew what ne was
Talking about, but she put up with it
Year after Year mixing Throat Gargle for
him and reading the Games 10 him when
he was having his Eyes tested and had to
wear Green Shade. At last he came to
his Ninth Inning and there were Two
Strikes called and no Balls, and his Friends
knew ii was ALI Day with him. They
stood around and tried 10 forget that he
was a Fan. His Wife wept softly and con-
soled herself with the Thought that possibly
he would have amounted to Something if
there had been no National Game. She for
gave Everything and pleaded for one Final
Message. His Lips moved. She leaned over
and listened. He wanted TO know if there
was Anything in the Morning Papers about
the Condition Of Langs's Knee.

As an evidence of the disintegration of
baseball in New York city under the re-
ginef Andrew Freedman, it is stated that
in Fridays game with the Cincinnati club
there were only 1000 spectators present.
This, too, in face of the fact that the
Cincinnati team has recently been play
ing phenomenal, winning ball. and their
own club, the Giants, doing splendid work
Under different conditions a crowd of 5000
or 5000 would be a conservative estimate.
Buck Ewing promises to atone for his
four defeats at New York by making a
Garrison finish upon the home grounds.
If Buck can make good the promise there
will be rejoicing in the East as well as
the West. If there is a magnate in the
country who deserves TO win the pennaDt,
that man is John T. Brush. He has un-
selhshly done more for the advancement Of
the sport than any man connected with the
business since the days of Mr.. Hurlburt.
Baseball is more of sentiment than
money with him, the opinions of howlers
and knockers to the contrary notwith-
standing.
The umpire situation has become to be
one Of the yexed questions with which the
National League has to do, and the sooner
il is disposed Of the better for the game.
The present system of handling the UNI
pires has, by long experience, proven to
be expensive, cumbersome. unsatisfactory,
and. in short. failure In saying this no
reflection upon President Young is in the
slightest way intended. No man under the
sun could have done better under the pro-
yoking and unfortunate circumstances. 1t
is fact that cannot be successfully con-
tradicted that all the disorders upon the
ball fields that have resulted in serious
disruption of official and social relations
can be directly attributed TO the umpires
The row with Tebeau at Louisville few
years ago, when, by reason of the failure
of the umpire TO discharge his duty the
police department was called upon to re-
store order. The Holmes case. at New
York. out of which grew a bitter and ac-
crimonious fight. which resulted in the
New York clubs being inflicted with a
thousand dollar fine. and which has even
tuated indirectly in the various clubs los
ing thousands Of dollars, all of which could
have been prevented had Umpire Lynch
promptly removed the offending player,
which he should have done in accordance
with the rules and Instructions given him.
While it is proper for the faithful chroni-
cier to call attention TO the evils that creep
into our social and political bodies. it
might appear impertinent and assuming
were he TO suggest specific remedies In
the event, however, that these official gen.
tlemen who hold in their hands the des-
TIMES of this great and popular pastime
do not by appropriate legislation place the
game upon a higher plane of official ex-
eellence they will most certainly be con-
fronted by the press and people with a
protest that will sweep them off their
magnatoriaI feet.

Know When They Have Enough.

The llama, that docile animal which
was the beast of burden in Peru IN
prehistoric times and played the part
that was assigned to his cousin, the
camel, in Egypt and Arabia, Is still
seen In large numbers in the mountain
districts, but he cannot live in the
warmer ATTITUDES along the coast. He
Is docile, enduring and sure footed. He
can 60 long time without water and
food and chews the cud of contentment
when other animals are in distress be-
cause of the temperature Of the rare
fed atmosphere found in the Andean
plateaus.
A llama will carry 100 pounds and
no more, and if you add an ounce to
his load he will lie down and wait un-
til 1t Is taken off. He knows when he
has enough, and there is no use in try
Ing to argue with him. The native In
dams have learned this by the expert
ence Of generations, and when llama
lies down they Immediately unstrap
and diminish his burden without max
ing any fuss about it. Then, when he
Is satisfied that he has been given 10
more than his share, he climbs on to
his hoofs again and follows the noun
tain trail for days and weeks at time
without murmuring or slipping or for
getting his good manners. - Chicago

one-third goes as a contribution 10
the fund known as Peters pence. An
other portion is devoted to the main

is devoted to substituting poor churches

interesting to note that those who have
control Of this lucrative business are
expressly forbidden by their vows to
carry on trade which could result
in q profit to themselves.
Many attempts have been made to
purchase the business, one notably By

business to a firm that would make

A Rather Novel Complaint.

An English traveller once met COM

woeful despair and apparently near
the last agonies, by the side of one Of
the mountain lakes Of Switzerland. He
inquired the cause OF his sufferings.
"Oh," said the latter, 81 was very hot

the clear water of the lake and then
sat down on this stone to consult my

very poisonous! Oh, am gone man

friend. Turning to the passage, he
found, "L'eau du lac est bien pois-
soneuse" ('The water Of this lake
abounds in fish,.

diant countenance. what would have
