Iemnke a Prize.

II Lempke continues to make good"
on the Denver team Burt Davis, one
OF the Grizzlies. Will have additional
proof OF his ability to discover good
players. Davis was the man who first
discovered Pop" Eyler, and II took
some time for him TO convince George
Tebeau that the present star of the
Western league was worth his salary.
Several other players now drawing fat
salaries were originally brought TO the
attention OF the managers in the West
ern league through Davis. He signed
Lemplye for Bill EVeritt and insisted
when Lempke went TO the Springs that
he would not be in condition to pitch
before the middle or latter part of
July. Burns would not wait for him
to develop. and he was released to
Denver. The last time Denver and
Colorado Springs played and Lempke
was put in TO finish game begun by
WhitFidge, Davis called Burns atten-
ton TO the work Lempke was doing.
why. his arms all gone said Burns.
"Well, you just watch him." answered
Davis; he is just coming" And as
we say in dear old France, IL looks
very much as though he had arrived.

An official of the st. Louis American
league is quoted as saying.
There Is no question but that the
end of the two leagues VIII come. l
do not expect Ii this year. but the pres
ent hostiiities viii surely cease next
season or in 1904.
a mutual understanding is bound
TO come and the St. Louis American
league clubs viii indOrse IL when ii is
proposed. The present conditions play
into the hands OF the players too
strongly. Hostility and competition
between the two organizations simply
serve TO enhance prices. Salaries are
going up so that neither league can
make money. When each finds that
the other is prepared TO stay in the
business. with the realization viii come
an appreciation OF the fact and amity
in place OF hostility is the better pol
Icy.
1.-THE end viii see both leagues work
ing in harmony, such as existed in the
days OF the old National association.
The future will probably see the base
ball employers organized as against the
baseball players. The question reduces
to a plain business proposition as aHy
other matter of making money. Ia All,
combination Is strength. The baseball
magnates will ind this out soon.
There are likely 10 be many sur
prises in the baseball world before the
season of 1898 opens. II is possible
that the two leagues viii get together
before the start OF another season. II
so it viii be all the better for base
ball.
LAS II now stands there is no money
in baseball. II is a mere question of
whether the game win be killed or
salaries drop. The latter issue is bound
TO come"

A Rube Waddell Story.

Barney Dreyfuss of the Pittsburg
club tells a story Of "Rube" Waddell.
Managers had been chasing the great
pitcher for weeks. At last he was
corralled by one in the lobby of a GER
tain western hotel. A figure that suit
ed "Rube" was offered and he agreed
to sign upon the condition that he re-
ceive $500 advance money. To this the
manager readily enough agreed. He
started into the Office to write out a
check for the amount and while gone
another manager came in. His offer
TO 'Rube" was considerably under that
OF the first manager. but he said TO
the pitcher: What you want Is cash.
He has gone to write you a check for
$500. You can't cash that check now.
for the banks are closed. ] will count
YOU OF Just a hundred of these long
green boys, all In ones, and there you
have the money in your fist, ready to
spend" This pleased 'Rube" and
forthwith he set his name to the con-
tract. Upon the return Of the first
manager "Rube" informed him that
negotiations were of. as I have just
got some spot cash from another man
ager, while you would only have given
me a check"

Up to His Old Tricks.
Denver Ranublican.)

AAbtAANGI AAtNuuAlC4Ai-t
Hansen has made himself distasteful
10 occupants of the boxes Monday by
turning around and abusing some Of
them. His remarks were insulting
and earned a stern rebuke from Ever
EFT. He had a quitting streak early in
the game and when he allowed Gus"
Dundon 10 steal second by deliberately
holding the ball he was pulled out and
Baerwald substituted.
The change OF sentiment toward RAJ
mey is somewhat remarkable. When
he last played with Denver on the home
grounds the fans" fairly grOaned as
he went 70 the bat. Now every time
he comes up. he is almost compelled TO
don his cap. He has deserved every
hand" he got as he has taken place
with the crack hitters of the league.
More than that he is probably the fast
est runner in the Western.

W. E. Stone VIII Enter Him in State
Fair Races Next Month

w. E. Stone of this city, the owner

showing made by his horse at What
com, Wash, in Fridays races. The
horse had little trouble in winning ev-
cry thing in sight, although he had to
break the record of the Whatcom track
70 do so. By his performance. Hobo
gets a mark OF 2:l2s4. which places him
out of the reach of any class event that
may take place here for some time.
However. Hobo is eligible to enter in
the free-for-all pace and trot, which is
20 be the feature OF the state fair races
next month. Mr.. Stone said yesterday
that the $500 purse offered by the fair
people for that race looked good to him
and that he would bring Hobo home
in time to get in shape for the race.
George Edwards OF this city is handling
the Salt Lake animal and, judging from
the results, must have been getting the
speed out of him.
