American Magazine.

The November number of the American
Magazine, the second number issued by
the Phillips Publishing company, reflects
the Vigor of the new editors, The first
article In the number is Lincoln Steffens
character sketch of Hearst, the Man of
Mystery" This article, coming as 1t does
in the midst of a campaign, won't suit
everybody-least of all, Hearst followers
It's conclusions are that Hearst won't do
that he does not typify the movement he
represents, or give reasons for hoping that
he will be able to accomplish what he
thinks he can. Ray Stannard Baker
writes an article entitled 1.-The Test of
Men" 1t is a presentation of the San
Francisco disaster as a barometer OF hui
man nature. 1t is the story of the effect
of the earthquake and fire upon the peo-
pie. The facts are fresh and surprising.

Meredith Nicholson has now written a
new story. which begins in The Readers
November number under the title of The

There are other good things about the
November Reader, as well. Albert IIale's
second article on the South American sit

| From the Washington Post.
Dan Brouthers is going to work in New
York!
Had those words formed the first para
graph of newspaper story twenty years
ago 1t would have set every baseball fan
in New York muzzing, and the whole
| sporting world would have had something
new 10 discuss. Cameras would have
been busy.
Today Dan Brouthers, one of the great
est ball players that ever lived, comes into
Manhattan, quietly tells his friends that
he is going to work and the baseball
world, which once worshiped at his shrine
on the diamond, can now see him as an
everyday citizen.
Quit playing baseball?" inquired Dan,
in answer to a question. well, 1 guess
not. I'll be playing until the cut the uni
form off me, and, you know, | can go
some yet You fellows must have heard
of Poughkeepsie, haven't your
Everybody laughed They thought the
big fellow was stringing them They did
not know that Dan Brouthers has been
playing baseball continuously since 1876
Think of thirty years in the game!
Even Jim Mcclure can't touch that rec
ord.
When Brouthers and other members Of
the famous big -Four" passed out of the
National league they were lost, and the
baseball world came near forgetting
them. But Dan is found.
Some of them drifted around through
the minor leagues and finally quit alto
gether; but Brouthers has kept 1t up TO
this day He played first base and, man
aged the Poughkeepsie team of the I1ud-
son River league during the season JUS
passed. And he hit close around 300, too.
Dan Brouthers first came into proml-
hence In 1880 while playing for Buffalo.
on the club with him at that time were
Rowe, Richardson and White. They were
such wonderful players that they became
known as the big Four and were
eventually sold to Detroit for an immense
sum of money. That was the first big
baseball deal on record.
Later they were sold TO Boston, and
Brouthers then went to Brooklyn, later
to Baltimore and then to Louisville and
Philadelphia He then began to show
signs of slowing up" and went to
Springfield in a minor league. From there
he drifted around minor leagues until he
went to Poughkeepsie.
Brouthers always played first base. OF
the old timers-that is back In the sos
Dan Brouthers, Sam Thomson. Roger
Conner, Adrian Arson and Pete Browning
were considered the five greatest hitters
the game had ever developed.
All of them passed out of active base
ball life but Brouthers. though Thompson
did play a few games with Detroit the
past season just to I'm in
