JOHN I. BRUSH IS II NOW
IN NATIONAL LEAGUE
A Triumvirate to Run Things and
Brush to Run the Tri-
umviratc.

John T. Brush is now "the whole
works" in the National League. When
W. =. Temple declined to accept the
presidency Brush renewed his motion for
the appointment OF an executive commit
tee OF three members to manage the
league during the playing season. The

named first thus becoming chairman and
for all purposes the president of the
league. His associates will be James A.
Hart, OF Chicago, aud A. H. Soden, which
means further that Brush will run every
thing to suit his fancy as Soden will sec
ond any and every motion Brush may
make and Hart will only look on with the
most cheerful expression he can muster.

mounted the telegraph pole, made the con-
nection with the main wire, ran the i'm
proVised wire into the car and there in

ment in handling the ball when men
were on bases, and with little practice
will be able to hold his own with any of
the players in the city.
AS usual Cap. Cooper did pretty work
in the box. He is rapidly getting in
shape, and his speed is increasing every
day. Cooper succeeded in striking out
seven men in the first three innings, and
up until the ninth held the visitors as
though they we're in vice.
The only fault the spectators found
with the game was that it was too easy a
thing for the home team. Fans always
like to see a close game. They like to
become excited and live in the ascendency
if only for short time. But the home
PLAYERS were too fast with their sticks
and hardly man went to bat that did
not succeed in making safe hit.
To be sure Central City and Black
Hawk had many excuses to offer for
their defeat. Some accused the others
of being out and indulging in too much
fire-water, but the boys looked and acted
as though they had behaved themselves
the night before.
If the team sent over last Sunday is
any indication of the quality of base ball
players that Gilpin county can produce,
they had better get the idea out of their
pates that they have any chance for the
sIoo which is to be contested for during
the celebration.
There will two or three games during
the celebration. One will be played on
Thursday, when Golden and Central City
will cross bats, game to be called at ago
p. M. The other is to be played on Sun
day afternoon, at which time Idaho
Springs will play the winner of the first
game for the purse which has been
offered. This game will be called at $3.50
D. M, also.
The boys at home will be assisted by
several new players and if any one wants
tip, we would suggest that they "bet
their boots" on Idaho.
Idaho Springs siftings., 1902-07-05

All of Gilpin county combined, as
sisted by Others who do not belong to
that district, made most futile effort to
p1av game of base ball last Sunday
afternoon. But they could no more hold
the home players down than mosquito
could stop freight train and the result
was that the score at the close OF the
ninth inning stood 60 to 4 in favor OF
Idaho Springs.
Black Hawk and Central City have a
great way of coming into city footing
their horns, and they succeed in making
a great many people believe that they
are the whole thing. Sunday they drove
over in large numbers and when the
audience was counted it was found that
there were more rooters for the visiting
BOYS than there were for the local players
Bets were freely offered that Central
would clean the home players up, but
there were few takers. However, Sting
lev got his men 10 work, and from the
start it could be seen that the visitors
would have no more show than a snow
ball would in red hot place. During
the first eight innings Central was not
allowed to make run, and had 1t not
been for a wild throw made in the ninth
inning, it would have been a case Of
white-wash.
Owing to the accident which betel
Henry Mensmer, the local team found
themselves without catcher, and 1t was
son time before the game could start.
At last it was decided that John Evans,
the catcher for the boys team should be
placed behind the bat. Evans IS only
sixteen years old, and quite naturally
was little nervous in being placed in
one of tho most responsible positions on
the team. After two innings he came to
himself and informed Cap. Cooper, the
pitcher, that he could send the ball just
as hard and as fast as he wanted. His
work was far above the average OF the
ordinary player. He showed good Judg-

ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.
Piano Player at Resort up Virginia Canon
Fails in His Effort.

A piano player, employed in one OF the
resorts up Virginia canon, attempted to
take his own life last Sunday afternoon,
by swallowing large quantity off Dash.
The denizens of that resort were thrown
into fever of excitement, and all went
into Mysteries. A number of people who
were present gave the man antidotes and
in the course of events pulled him
through. His mouth was terribly bis
tered from the effects of the potash, and
at the last accounts he was in very weak
condition.
1t is said that his sweetheart who is an
inhabitant of the disreputable joint, de-
cided that she no longer cared for the
piano player, and that he so brooded over
the trouble that he decided to end this
earthly existence.
The place where this attempted suicide
took place. is one of those ordered closed
by the city council couple of weeks
ago, but it seems that those in charge
paid little attention to the order issued.
