YOUNG FISH A STOKER.
MILtIoNAIRE's CON LEARNING
RAILROAD BUSINESS.
stryvesant, Jr, After Serving az Way
Bill Clerk for Four Months at
Muskogee, !. T., Takes Job
as Fireman.

Muskogee, I. T.--After working for
four months at Muskogee as a way bill
clerk In the Frisco freight office,
Stuyvesant Fish, Jr., the son Of the
former president of the Illinois Cen
trail, is going to take job as fireman
on the Rock Island. The young man,
whose fathers income is said to be
$1,000 day. wants to learn all the
details OF the railroad business, and,
us his actions show, he is prepared to
endure all the trials of hard work.
Stuyvesant Fish, Jr., surprised the
good people of this city in June, when
he took of his coat at the Frisco
freight depot and settled down to the
duties of way bill clerk in the most
democratic fashion. The work was
bard and the weather was very warm,
but he met the difficulties and de.
mands in the best spirits.

Mr.. Fish has given up the comforts
and influence of excellent surround
ings In New York city to make out
freight bills and fire locomotives in
the southwest.
From the bottom up" is the young
mans motto. He says that he is de-
termined to learn everything about
the railroad business out on the line.
After he has obtained the knowledge
that is gained only from experience,
he will be equipped to accept posi-
tion at the general Offices of some
large system and advance himself to
responsible executive position.
Mr. Fish is very popular here. The
railroad men and the people admire
his determination. The same as every
other employe, he worked from early
in tho morning till late in the evening.

At the beginning of October, Mr.
Fish took a two weeks vacation. He
did not wish to lay off. but he was
called to New York by his father. Il
was said that he was to be appointed

turns out now that he will work as q

TROT SOME
Marion Team Makes Fine
Showing.
HARD FOUGHT BATTLE
Soldier Lads Win Out by Fl
to 1o Score
Considering Lack of Condition and
Without Practice Marion Played
Wonderful Game.

A basket ball team known as the
Marion Stars went to Delaware last
night and in one of the hardest
fought games ever seen on the Del
aware floor was defeated by the fast
Company X team by score OF Il
to 10.
The Delaware team has been play
ing for the past two months and has
defeated some of the strongest teams
in the state. The Marion five had
not been together this year and none
of the players was in condition.
The showing made by the team was
entirely unexpected.
Marion went after the game with
a rush and despite lack of practice
played the home team to a standstili
during the first part of the struggle.
At the end of the first half the score
stood ten to nine in favor of Ma
rion. -glrIYIMM!
Both teams played a pretty game
In the second half but lack of con-
dition told on the Marionites in
the last part Of the period and Della
ware won out by narrow margin.
Encouraged by the showing made
at Delaware, Manager Curtris has de-
cided TO organize for the season and
TO play regular schedule of games
during the winter. The team will
practice regularly and will play two
or three games each week during
the winter. 1t is probable that the
next game will be played at Kenton
some time next week.
The local team lined up as follows:
Curtis and II. Gillett, center: Sells.
right forward; Hogan. left forward;
Schoenlaub, right guard: c. Gillet!,
left guard Abel, of Marion and
Hough. of Delaware, umpire and ref
cree alternating.

is In the hands Of Frank C. Wilson,
who will manage the Lancaster club.
All the magnates are anxious to Sc
cure a complete copy of the schedule,
but Wilson cannot be located so that
one can be secured .-tExchange.

schedule appeared there so long ago
that we can't remember the date.

strong circuit and bids fair to rival
the Intersta league in time. Fast
