SHAMOKIN KELLY.
How One of Kennedy's Umps Made
 McGraW Eat CraWfsh.

J. J. Kelly, of Shamokin, Pa, who is to umpire in this league this sea son, goes by the name of Shamokin Kelly and is one of the characters of baseball. He will be fine draw ing card.
 A dozen years ago, when the star Baltimore team of scrappers was in its prime, Muggsy McGraw, Joe Kel- ley and others of that bunch used to make it daily practice to drive um- pires out of the business. McGraw and his cohorts succeeded for while, too, and Uncle Nick Young was driv- en frantic trying to get man who would display nerve enough to keep McGraw and his rowdies at bay. Young heard of the capable umpiring of Kelly, then in one of the little leagues in Pennsylvania, and offered him a job. Shamokin jumped at the chance. and in his very first game in fast company he ofiiciated in a Baltimore contest. McGraw tried his Ibillingsgate on Shamokin and thought he had a mark. But Sham okin sent as good as he received, and then dared McGraw and the whole bunch to fight him. Shamokin meaat every word that he said, and McGraw knew 1t, and backed down. The sturdy coal miner had started out right and word quietly passed all through the league that Nick Young had at last got an umpire who wasn't afeared. .-
