GREAT PLAYERS.
No Baseball Idols Of To-day as in the
Last Generation.

A few days ago the papers told us
hat Louis Rogers Browning had been
shut up in a Louisville insane hospit-
H. Louis Rogers Browning is none
ether than Pete" Browning, once
known as the Gladiator the man
with the lamps" Many a middle
aged man remembers with delight
how Pete" used to "line them out"
One wonders whether the bali players
Of today have lost all personal pride
in their achievements and profess
sion" Probably not, and yet there
seem to he few of them now who get
as much pleasure IN knocking OUT
home runs as did the Gladiator" He
took an almost childish pleasure in
his work was as pround OF, his repu-
tation as the most Jealous poet Is oil
his, and we have no doubt that ne
mouned with exceeding sorrow when
he failcd-w which was not often to
land on" the ball.
To the old-timers it does seem as
though personality was not in ball
players the quality that II once was.
Surely there is no Mike Kelly now in
the game. We Of Indianapolis, at least
those Of us whose hair Is beginning to
get gray or white-can never forget
the dialogues that nsed 10 take place
between Kelly behind the BATH atltl
Our old friend w, r. Fishback id the
grand stand. The old catcher was
not only one Of the best bali players
| in the business, but he was an inter.
esting character And pete" Brown
ing was, tor we. remember that when
Garfield was shot Browning wanted
to know what club he played with.
There are 80 many of the old stars
:. at II Is impossible even TO enumerate
them in brief space. Was there ever
Ia better catcher, for instance tlian
Frank Flint? He, at@ least whoip III
Indianapolis, used neither mask, pro
tector nor gloves, and yet he caught
the only Nolan who "sent them IN
at terrific speed from distance d
only As feet. whereas the distance

plate is now more than 80 feet. Flint
lncver hesitated TO throw to second
no matter how swift a man there
might be on third And there was
Bennett, the old Detroit catcher W.
suppose that he and Flint and Buck
Ewing and the other distinguished
llackstops Of the old days have theil
equals now, but It would be hard K
make those who remember their worl
tbelieve so. For years Charles zim

the game it looked hopeless for the 10.

It was contest OF big sticks" in
which the Kolbites were there strong

statement the score will bear testi

Manager Ray yesterday got ont his

Fleming. Both have recently been
batting poorly. ii IS said. and were let
go for this reason. Fleming. in the
games played here, showed up like
one of the best hitters and fielders in

has made a mistake in letting him
go.-Vincennes Capital.

The score of the game was to 3
and the hits and errors by both teams
ran into such large numbers that the
score keeper threw up his job in dis
gust at not being able TO keep track
OF them all According 10 one of the
players on the Pabsts it was more of 4
game Of marbles than one Of good
baseball.
Batteries for the two teams were
Burkey, French and Burgeois for the
Pabsts and Walters and Brown for the
Futures. Burkey was pounded clear
out Of the box in the fourth inning and
both the other pitchers were given en-
awful case of the bumps according to
the report of the game which is cur

epanking good game the Mud Wallop-

to be one Of the fastest ever seen in

Dutch Wagner headed the process
sion for the visitors ana when he I'M
twisted there was nothing doing for
local battera All that they could hear
was the chug as the sphere lit in the
catcher's glove and as for hits, he LET
them have but three. Wagner had at
all times wonderful speed and perfect
control and the game could NOT pos

THE GRAY WOLF.
His Cunning Is Marvellous, and He IL
Difficult to Catch.


Difficult to Catch.
The cunning of the gray wolf is mar
velous, and it is most difficult to catch
mapping. He somehow seems to
know that iron is associated with man.
A piece of iron anywhere will keep
him at a distance. If you shoot an
antelope, for instance, and just put
your spur on the carcass you may leave
it as long as you like and no wolf will
touch it. A pocket handkerchief will
do as we'll.
Lobo, a great gray wolf who was
the king of the pack at CurrumpaW, a
vast cattle range in New Mexico, was
a thinker as well as ruler. His pack
ate nothing but what they had killed
themselves, and thus poison was no
good. At last a thousand dollars was
set upon his head. This brought a
noted wolf hunter from Texas, with
his pack of great wolfhounds. But
again there was failure. Then two
other hunters came with subtly devils
ed poisons to work his undoing. Then
I came on the scene. First l tried
poison. and there was no combination
of strychnine, arsenic and prussic acid
which 1 did not use. put the poisons
in cheese melted together with kidney
fat and during the whole process
wore gloves STEPPED in hot blood. And
I scattered the bait all over the ranch.
The next morning went out and
found Lobos tracks, with the bait
gone. was delighted. / followed the
track and found another bait gone
and yet another. Then l found the
three bats piled upon another one and
covered with filth. Loho had evidently
