Captain Chances Goodness.

Ii is wel-admitted fact that Husk
Chance of the Chicago National league
team is one of the coolest ball players
that ever lived. Nothing can excite
Chance and great many sharp oaseoaH
critics are declaring that it was the i'm
perturbable GOODNESS of Captain Chance
that caused his team to remain so steady
when it was batting with the Tigers for
championship honOTs.
A sample of the calmness of Mr.
Chance under conditions which would
excite the ordinary man was shown at
banquet or. at least. at a little supper
that was given to the Chicago players
by some of heir friends and admirers
the other night in the Windy City.
In the middle of the repaSt, and when
the wine was going fast, and speechmaE-
ing was being OVeTdOne, Chance, who is
generally to be found listening and not
talking. noticed that his brand-new over
coat was being taken from the room by
a sneak thief who had managed to get
into the room unnoticed by the corps OF
walters.
Just as the fellow thought he was
making a good getaway Captain Chance
reached over and, catching the fellow by
the arm with Sandow-like grip, he
coolly remarked:
Il beg your pardon, my friend. but
would you mind allowing me to get an
other cigar out of my overcoat before you
cart it away2
The thief. who was well dressed fell
low. tried to make out that he had made
a mistake and forth, claiming that he
thought it was his own coat. He was
turned over by Chance to the care of the
walters, who hustled him to the outside.
Put Chance had acted with so little
noise that the people in the immediate
vicinity of the table never knew what
had happened until the next day, when
they read it in the papers.

Mike kelIy's Ready Wit.

Mike Kelly, king of all ball players. and

When the two American teams were
forming for the great trip they took
much talk among the players over the
contemplated journey. In fact, this little
projected jaunt was ever on the boys
minds. and conversation regarding it was
always on tap.
Tom Brown. who is umpiring games in
Washington now, was a star member
then of the baseball troupe of globe
trotters. and he and Kelly used TO be
the thicl1est of friends. When it came
down to buying the necessary clothing
for the trip, Mike and Tom repaired TO
the same store together.
During the trying on process Mike, who
was always talkative. no matter under
what conditions. began TO discuss his
great qualities as a sailor. and Tom
Brown, who is a native-born English
man, and VINO had sailed over the Allan
tic ocean on several occasions. began to
poke fun at Kelly, who was a native OF

CantiIIon Didn't Know.

Joe CantillOn, the manager of the Wash
ington baseball club, is a ready-wttted
fellow, and during the snowflying season
has plenty of time to exercise this wit;
particularly as he is engaged in a lucra
tive retail business in Chicago.
Some Washiongtonians, who went up TO
the city of winds in order to see the two
champion ball teams combat for first
honors, happened to drop in to see Joe
at his place of business, and while ac-
cepting the chubby managers hospital
ity. they We're amused listeners to q col
loquy between Cantillon and one of his
clerks
1t appeared that Joe had allowed this
particular employe the privilege of taking
car fare from the cash register, SO that
he could ride to his home for dinner,
and that he must have taken advantage
of Cantillon's kindness, judging from the
following, goes without saying.
The Washington delegation were just
lighting their cigars when in came the
erring clerk. and when Joe caught sight
of him he said:
"See here, didn't you take some money
out of the cash register today?'
Yes" shot back the fellow, real saucy,
but didn't you tell me that 1 could take
car fare home.'
Sure, / told you that" came back the
manager, but 1 never knew that you
lived in New Orleans"
