The greatest baseball joke Of the
season was perpetrated recently by
Messrs. Abel and Ebbets. In 1895 the
Brooklyn issued $4,000 worth OF
bonds, sos per cent of'which was taken
by Abel. The bonds were run until
1905. Under the terms of consolida-
ton last year by the Baltimore and
Brooklyn clubs, Abel and Ebbets were
to pay the old debts out Of their profits
OF last season. A few weeks ago 1t was
announced that the debt had been
wiped out, and in some quarters II was
supposed that it was done out OF the
clubs last years profits. 1t was q
great card for Brooklyn to play Just at
this time, and captured the house. or.
rather, the press all over the country.
Messrs. Abel and Ebbets simply Sc
cured new loan to pay Off the old one.
How some ''innocents" bit. and talked
about the nuggets that were to be
gathered In the borough at the eastern
end of Greater New York. Nobody en-
joyed the joke more than did the two
Brooklyn magnates.

protesting arms across the dark

fall and they could not change the
eternity Of his woe.
