now that brought him to the favorable no.

his engagement after some Of the Gin

Comiskey's White Sox came along used to
leap forth and hurl the harpoon with glee-

ington or on the ground at Both street Ii
mattered never a whit to the Senatorial
tribe-they had Chicago under the iron
spell of the Buffalo, and Comiskey's people
always felt like going home to bed the

Umpire Haskell is as near his post Of
duty as he can be while laid up by the
injury inflicted by Pitcher Katoll OF the
Chicago club. He was to have worked in
Milwaukee and to Milwaukee he went,
when the scene of action shifted from the
east to the west, though he could barely
hobble. When the Orioles were there he
appeared to be in q pretty bad way. The
ball hit him on the inside of the right leg
just below the knee The blow must have
been terrific. for the flesh and bone were
both bruised. Pus formed. and even now
q cap has to be worn over the sore. Down
near the ankle the blood has collected and
appears swollen and angry looking. The
injury was undoubtedly aggravated by his
performing his duties the day after it oc-
Cured. II wouldn't have stayed at home
the day after the trouble for anything"
says Mr. Haskell. 1.-THE boys would have
thought they had me going then. for fair"
