Friendly Rivalry in the Two Great

Friendly Rivalry in the Two Great
Leagues
The great baseball battle which oc-
Cured a short time ago between the
pennant winners of the National and
American Leagues for the seasons
playing recalls to mind that it was but
few years ago that these two rival
baseball associations were clashing
tooth and nail in a deadly war OF ex-
termination and survival. 1t was then
that the American League, under the
leadership of Ban Johnson, made in
roads into the ranks of the National
League, capturing its star players and
enllsting them in it's cause through
rainbow of big salaries. Rival teams
were placed in Chicago, st. Louis, Bos-
ton, New York and Philadelphia and
.princely salaries offered to the players
of ability. There were, of course, suits
at law, and injunctions were sought re-
straining the contract jumpers. One
particular instance Of this is remem-
bered - g case of Lajoie, Delehanty,
Wolverton, Orth and Townsend, one
time members of the Philadelphia Ma
tionals, who jumped to the rival team
in that city. When injunctionS were Sc
cured preventing their playing in the
Quaker town, they we're transferred to
the Cleveland and Washington teams.
The Injunction of course, prevented
their playing in Philadelphia, and
when occasion required that their team
should go through that city, these play
ers were always switched over on an

The Midnight Charge.

1--WE held our fire until they were
almost on top of us, and then along
the whole front of our triple line, blaz-
ed our guns full in their faces.
1.-THE crash was terrific. Troopers
reeled in their saddles. Horses stag
gered and went down with their rid
ers. The others broke in confusion and
dashed wildly past on our TANKS.
1T was worse than nightmare-the
torrents Of rain. the total darkness. in
tensifed by the crashing, binding
lightning, and the cursing, yelling
troopers, charging along over us.
'The flashes showed us the killed
and wounded strewn along our front;

oner.
Three times they charged us thai
night, and as many times were driven
off. the last time retreating south

ter long silence, as he withdrew TO
the house to avoid the heavy gusts of
rain, "Pve always been thankful to
that mistaken picket"

championship series. 60 per cent. of the

played was divided among the players,
rs per cent. of this going to the win

remaining rs per cent. to the losers, the
Athletics. This Melted each individual
on the former team nearly $1,000 and
approximately $500 10 each of the lat

1--WE stepped into the deeper shad-
ows, and soon a mounted Confederate
officer emerged from the dark bend of
the road, and was silhouetted against
the sky. In a moment or two he reach
ed the point commanding a view of our
camp, drew rein and sat not fifty feet
away, peering toward us.
II cautiously took the picket's rifle,
and we sprang out into full view. The
officer started as he saw us, and wheel
ed his horse to escape.
Halt cried, and as he dashed on,
with a quick aim, l pulled the trigger.
simultaneously with the report, the
picket struck up the gun, exclaiming,

with the sound of his galloping
horse, we heard shots on the north,
and soon afterwards our pickets were
driven in by force of the enemy's
cavalry.
"The camp was hurriedly aroused,
and our boys were ready for the at
tack. Bayonets were fixed. The men
were ordered to reserve their fire IN
til the horses were almost on them.
"It had become very dark, and from
the flash of the lightning we saw that
the expected storm was at last upon
us. In a few minutes it broke over
us in all its fury, and as it did so
the enemy charged, yelling like devils.

Cards were dashed aside, the sleep

feet, and like magic every one of the

One warm summer evening In 1895, /
sat smoking with Judge jenkins. OF
Wisconsin, who is now ably represent
ing his State in Congress.
We were watching the oncoming OF
heavy thunder storm, and the CONVEX
Bation had turned, as 1t often did, to
the time of his youth when he entered
the Union army and was, by the stir
ring events of the war, transformed
into the fearless. iron-manhood that
has since characterized him.
'It was just such an evening in the
summer of 49," he remarked. that l
nearly killed Fitzhugh Lee"
1--WE were down in Virginia, and l
was in charge of an ammunition train
which was on it's way to McClellan's
army.
We had been halted by brief or
der from headquarters, and directed to
remain where we were-near little
village about thirty miles south OF
Washington.
mo reason was given for the delay,
though some of the boys thought 1t
was for the purpose of enabling an
escort of cavalry to join us. Others
said they guessed Mac didn't have
any further use for powder. How
ever, we were mighty glad to go into
camp, as many of the raw men were
about pushed by the long and hot
marching, besides it gave us oppor-
tunity to forage and get better rations
than bareback and maggoty bacon-so
lively that it followed us around camp.
