PASSING OF THE BROWNS.

PASSING OF THE BROWNS.
 St Louis, Oct 14.-That the active career of a baseball hero is brief is amply illustrated by the fate of the diamond stars who won four pen nants for the St Louis Browns. Very few of the old-timers are now in har- ness.

 Bushong. the famous receiver of the club, is dentist in Brooklyn. Jack Boyle, his side partner. is still in the game, having recently signed with To- ledo, of the American association.
 Bobby Carruthers is an umpire.
 Arlie Latham is an umpire in the South Atlantic league. Tank Robin. son, who was such clever base run ner and second baseman, is dead. Shorty Fuller has also passed the great divide.
 Nat Hudson is living in Chicago. Dave Foutz, who. together with Bush- ong and Carruthers, was sold to Brooklyn for S20.0O0, the highest price then paid for players, died several years ago.
