badly in need of good batsman to lead
off and an outfelder. Hamilton was the
man wanted. How to get him was the
thing Selee made a point Of giving
Capt. Nash credit for the good work OF
the Boston champions. you must have
a great leader to win the championship
and have him on the field" Selee would
say, until the Quaker papers were con-
tinually quoting Selee on this subject,
Quakers had fine string of players, but
no leader Selee had discovered that
Jimmie Collins could play third base
and decided to play him there the next
season, so hint was dropped that the
Quakers might make deal for the great
captain This was what Selee was play
ing for, and it didn't take long for him
to consider a trade, and finally make a
deal, Nash for Hamilton. This was the
finest piece of work on Selee's part l
ever heard of, as it developed a cham
pionship team. The following year Ham,
ilton proved a success, leading off, being
hitter, waiter and king of base run
ners. while Collins, who replaced Nash
at third, electrified the country with his
brilliant all-round playing. Philadel-
phia got man about 'all in" as player
and several points shy on managerial
ability. Nash, however. picked up Lajoie
on tip from his Boston friends. and
thereby we'll earned what money he re-
ceived from the Quakers.
Of
made by Gus weighing and others, has
brought to light some hidden history,
which gives "Old Hoss" Radbourne the
call over all the twirlers. Business Man.
ager Frank C. Bancroft, of Cincinnati,
was manager of the old Providence Ma
tional League club in 1884, when it won
the pennant. Shortly before the end Of
the season the late Charlie Sweeney,
pitcher, while intoxicated, abused Ban
croft and was suspended. The team,
besides being in rut was sixth in team
batting. The owners wanted to dis
band, but Banny said he would get the
team in shape again. He had but one
pitcher, and the schedule called for
about four games week. IF you will
take your turn in the box, and Sweeney's,
too. l will pay you both salaries" said
Bancroft to Radbourne. 'I1l try it, if I
throw my arm off" he declared. Rad
bourne then pitched 20 straight games
in about five weeks, Is of which he won.
There is nothing in the way of pitch
ing feat approaching this, and doubtless
never will be. Providence got the PEN
nant At the banquet to the team by
Providence business men, Bancroft de-
clared in speech that it was a one-man
victory, and that Radbourne deserved
the flag to carry home as his own.

declared the congressman, "and the con.

were not native sons" but were young
men who had learned their earlier golf
ing lessons on the other side of the At
lantic In 1902, however, Louis N.
James. of the Glen View club, brought
to that city the first championship
gained by a local American born player,
and now H. Chandler Egan has repeated
the trick by defeating Frederick HERES
hoff, the young Vermont champion, in
the recent national tournament over the
links of the Baltusrol club, At Short
Hills, N. j. Chandler Egan's career in
golf has been one of the most brilliant
of any player in the west He was 81
years old the day after he won the west
ern championship. In 1901 he played in
his first schoolboy match at EXmoor and
won it, later taking part in eight differ
ent matches and winning six Of them.
In June of that ye6s he, won the prepare
tory school championship from his
dents cup at the club. His second year
of golf in 1902 was his busiest and, for a
young player, one marked with some
surprising successes. Out of 43 matches
played he won 81, lost four and halved
two. The young Exmoor player first
made his appearance in a national tour
nament in July of 1902 and was defeated
by Eben Byers. In 1903 Chandler de-
feated Byers in one of the 81 matches in
which he took part. Out of the 81 he
won %, losing seven and halving two.
Among his victories was the champion
ship of Harvard, won May Is. He met
with a number of defeats, however, but
was not in the least discouraged. Golf
ers who have followed the young player
declare that the secret of his success lies
in his GOODNESS in taking defeat. August
II he was beaten at Wheaton by Norman
F. Hunter, who made the phenomenal
score of II. Egan few days later play ed
feated Hunter. He again played in the
national tournament at Nassau and for
the second time was put out. This time
Williams, of Philadelphia, defeated him.
This year the champion has taken part
in 30 matches, winning "a. April 81 he

at the close of the tournament. Then
he won the western championship from
his cousin Walter with a record OF

next captured the national champion

the girl had not foreseen. Under the
huge weight of the living avalanche
the great suspension bridge was sway
ing heavily. The movement caused the
horse to stumble.
There came a mighty roar and the
thunder of many hoofs. The herd was
on them. Pale, but collected, the girl
refined her steed round, and faced the
mad onslaught.
Now, young bull, it's head bent low
between its fore legs, Numbered by;
another followed, old and weighty.
With nose almost touching the ground
and head tilted sideways, it made
straight for them, then swerved aside,
grazing the chestnut's tanks with it's
sharp horns.
Still, the terrified girl never for a
moment lost her self-possession, but
cast around for some other means of
escape Only one loophole presented
itself to her. Far below she could see
the swirling, muddy waters of the Colo
RADIO.
For an instant she resitated and
patted the neck of her trembling steed.
Would he make that awful leap? She
faced him towards the ratings.
GO, Blazer, leap" the girl cried out.
And Blazer leaped, bearing his fair
mistress on his back down, down, into
the swift-running Colorado.
On the river bank a dozen cowboys
had seen the gallant leap. Voiceless
with excitement they watched both the
girl and steed disappear with a great
splash beneath the water.
At last the horse arose-riderless.
For a few minutes the animal swan
around in a circle, as if in search of
something.
Five yards away figure appeared
above the water and swan toward the
horse. A minute more and the girl
had clambered into the saddle. Then,
with a delighted neigh, the horse swan
quickly to the shore.
Springing from their saddles, the
cowboys sent up cheer after cheer, and
ran to the brink to assist the brave
girl. Six rough. willing hands were
out-stretched to her, whilst one cow
boy filled with admiration for the
faithful horse. put out his hands and
embraced it's glossy neck affectionately.

iCHlNG FOR VACANCIES
governor Davis Discovers Another
opening and Proceeds to Com
plicate Matters.

Another instance of Governor
laws original construction of the
term vacancy" has developed in
I Z county, where he has
commissioned" one man to ar
once to which another has been
ouly elected. The Star of Hope
gives the following account of it:
by an oversight on his part
capt. K. A. Boyett has been de-
prlyed of his Office of tax assessor,
TO which he was reelected by the
people of Hampstead county at the
late election. The law fixes a time
limit IN which officers are required
TO qualify before the secretary of
state by sending in fee of s. for
thelr commissions. Capt. Boyett's
letter and remittance for this pur-
pose reached the office of the sec
rotary Of state two days late, and
Monday morning it was announc-
eel that Governor Davis had APP
pointed L. E. Cowling of Wash
lngton, who has ever been the gov
errors warm supporter, to fill the
vacancy. Although this is the
law, 1t seems to be rather a strict
construction of the same, and a
summary action on the part Of the
governor, which is much regret
ted BY the many friends of Cap
tain Boyett, than whom there is
no more popular man in the coun-
ty, and IS aseribed by them as due
principally to the personal desires
of Governor Davis. He not only
succeeded himself to the office of
tax assessor, but was elected with
out opposition, heading the Demo-
cratic ticket with the largest vote
cast for any candidate. And he
will serve his term unless the
courts order otherwise. y

A POOR MILLIONAIRE.

Charles f. French, a Boston
millionaire, starved to death last
week in a barren room on the top
floor of his magnificent building
in that city. 1t was his boast that
he could live on q cents a day and
his acquaintance say it was
through his demonstration of this
fact that his system became weak
ened and he finally succumbed to
disease. His body was not found
till some timelafter his death.
What was the possession of
wealth to such a man as this? He
not only kept whatever he had ac-
cumuIated from the channels of
commerce where it would have
accomplished good, but refused to
enjoy any of the benefits of his
large fortune himself. 1t is one
thing to demonstrate the benefits
of economy and another to fall in
to habits that are unbecoming the
station that a man occupies. This
millionaire though rich in this
worlds goods was in fact poorer
than the meanest pauper.
