DUMMY" TAYLOR LAUGHS.
Atchison Globe Relates an Interesting
Baseball Yarn

Dummy Taylor, member of the
New York National league ball club,
who draws the salary of a congressman
for throwing slants, formerly pitched
for the Corn Carnival Colts, and was
canned" He blames Roy Loman and
Rolla Mitchell for being let out, and
told W. D. Casey, who talked to him
in Chicago last week, that he would
never forgive them. Where is Loman
playing now" wrote Dummy on blank
tab. Casey wrote in reply that he was
still playing in Atchison. "StiIl in Atchi-
son. scrubbed Taylor, as a smile broke
over his face, and then he actually
laughed out loud. 1t was a laugh of
triumph, and seemed to say: Still in
Atchison."
Back in 1896 or 1897, the Corn Carnival
Colts played at Winchester, Jefferson
county, and batted against Taylor's
speed and curves. Captain Charley Cole.
Of unfailing judgment, when 1t came to
picking out ball players, said the Win
chester pitcher was a ind. and that
Atchison should have him. We had two
good twirlers at the time, but Taylor
was hired a. $s5 or $40 a month. 1t
certainly wasn't over $50. Dumny's first
appearance in the box here was not
suspicious. He lacked control, and the
fans didn't exactly take to him. Later
but one day Dummy" gave so many
passes to first that they demanded that
he be sent gack to the woods.
The writer was one of the dissatisfied,
AM he was an officer of the baseball as
ISOLATION by reason of the fact that he
was good at begging money to pay the
deficiency In the finances, which was a
condition that had to be met monthly.
For that reason he had cOnsidera bic
weight with the management, and has
always taken the blame of sending
Taylor on his way. He doesn't know
what Roy Loman had to do with it, but
recalls that Mitchell said something Sc
we're about the lunkheads that were
knocking on Taylor. But Dummy"
didn't go back to the woods He jump
ed from here to Terre Haute, without
a recommendation, and from Terre
Haute to the New York Giants No
wonder he laughed. He is now married
and told Judge Casey that he would be
in Atchison next fan.-Atchison Globe.

The following letter, written by
David Zearfoss to Manager Cooley last
Monday, explains the delay in the
popular catcher joining the team:
Mr.. Dick Cooley: You will excuse
me for not writing you sooner than
this I am sorry that my arm was
hurt by being hit by a pitched ball
when I was intending to leave and
join you on the next day. I was very
anxious to come back to your team
and it makes me feel bad to think Of II:
My arm will be all right by the end of
the month, however I am using 1t
quite little and will soon be in the
game for keeps. I suppose it will be
too late for me to come When my arm
gets all right. 1 hope you are still in
first place where left you and that all
the boys are playing good ball for you.
1 also hope that the flag will land in
Topeka this year 1 will return you
the forty dollars which you sent for
my transportation. If you need me
later or after my arm gets back in
shape let me know and 1 will come.
Give my regards to all the boys and
wishing you good luck, remain,
Very truly yours.
DAVID ZEARFOSS.
Il is not known whether they will
send for the popular backstop when ne
gets in shape or not. but this much is
certain that there is nothing the man
agement could do that would make
them more solid with the fans than to
get Zearfoss with the team again.

McGraw Takes to Red-Bound Vol

III AlOuI u 11cASCOeAAA AAAe~-A
Pittsburg, Pa. July 26.-For the
first time in more than two years the
Giants are drinking of the dregs of
real defeat. In former days the
players quietly lounged around hotel
corridors with mysterious wrinkles IN
their eyes awaiting the climax OF
practical joke on one of their num-
Der, usually Dummy Taylor. In
these fun-making plans McGraw was
the prime conspirator. The club was
known all over the circuit by bell
boys, cab drivers and hotel clerks for
its good-natured pranks- Until two
weeks ago the New York club was
like a college football team on the
road, bubblng over with good
natured fellowship.
The other night few guests knew
they were in the hotel. As quiet as
mice, they READ the details Of defeat
and quietly went to their rooms.
There were no jokes; no player now
has to be on the lookout for prac-
teal joke. They are morose. Even
McGraw, the jolliest funmaker Of
them all, has touch Of the blues. He
reading a red-bOund volume OF his
tory. That has grown to be one of
McGraw's hobbies. He wouldn't give
a snap of his fingers for a love story,
but just hand him a book on the war

McGraw was somewhat gloomy.

here lately if there is a right ana
wrong thing to do we pull off the
wrong one. The whole trouble with
the club. as I have said several times
before, is a scarcity of hitting. No
team ever managed ever struck such
a lasting slump"
