What Reulbach Had.

Husk Chance of the Chicago Nationals.
aside from being one of the greatest cap
tains in the game today, is also one Of the
most solicitous when 1t comes to looking
after the welfare of his players. Just be-
fore the Detroits won the American
League pennant and were then slated to
try for the worlds championship, Chance
was a busy man In keeping line on the
ball players who comprised the Cub team.
AS to advice about their taking care of
themselves and keeping in condition,
Chance was Johnny on the spot, and shot
it into the boys so constantly that the
players got rather weary of it.
Jimmy Sheckard, who is the lad with a
good eye when it comes to swatting them
safely, was one of the recipients of
Chances daily advice, and to such an eX-
tent that this clever outfelder determined
to have a little amusement by throwing a
scare into the advice-giving Mr.. Chance
AS ReulbaCh was slated to go in the
box on the first day that the two respective
champions of the big leagues were sched-
uled to battle against one another. Chance
was unusually attentive in his ministra-
tions to the big slab artist, and you may
Judge of his surprise and dismay, de-
clares Johnny Evers. when Jimmy Sheck-
ard came up TO -.-anager Chance, as the
crowd of ball players were sitting about
their hotel just after breakfast. and said
Say, Husk, did You know about Reul-
bacA?"
What about him." cried Chance, as he
made leap in the air and landed in
front of Sheckard, who stood with look
OF despair on his face.
Why, I'm afraid, Husk,'' mournfully
replied Sheckard as the doleful look
overspread his handsome countenance,
that Reulbach has something on his
pitching arm that he can't get off,
Great Scott" shrieked Chance. as he
paved the air wildly. What has Reul-
bach on his army. Jimmy"
"Freckles." cried Sheckard, as he sprang
away down the corridor with the big
captain a poor second in the sprint and
the entire crowd of ball players guffawing
cruelty in the distance

Rube and Jake Gettman of the Buffalo
team. a man who broke into big league
company through the Washington club
went up for two days trip to Niagara
Now, Jake, although a big husky ball
player, Is nevertheless a fellow of in
finite parts, and a player who is endowed
with a nature that is inclined to be sen
timeHtal a times.
So when he took Rube Waddell through
the picturesque environments of Niagara
Fails. Jake became properly enthUsed
ovEr the scenery. and naturally eXerted
every effort to impress the stalWart Phila-
delphia pitcher
But the more eloquent Jake became the
less interest Rube appeared to display
until Gettman began to get bored. for
never before had Jake's eloquence failed
to impress his companions
But though Jake finally had to come to
the conclusion that Mr.. Waddeli was not
a gentleman whom one could easily con-
vert TO the beauties of nature, yet the
large outfielder felt sure that when Wad-
dell had Toasted his eyes on the Horse
shoe Fails he must evince some interest
even though 1t be of the fa1ntest descrip-
tgJu.
Finally when the two ball players had
arrived at this magnificent spectacle, and
as they stood gazing at the mountainous
OVerpOuring of the waters, Jake heaVad
sign like one enchanted. and then
throwing out his chest and using his
hands to gesticulate with he started in
to unload a eulogy on this great work
of nature.
But just as he was headed to eclipse
all former efforts on the beauties of Nj
agara he was suddenly stopped by the I'M
impresstonable Mr.. Waddell.
isn't it wonderful, Ed, to see the
mighty works of nature we now gaze upon
Isn't it remarkable TO observe that great
volume of water that is constantly tum-
bling over that gigantic fall
And what" calmly broke in WaddelI,
as he coolly lighted a cigarette, is TO
hinder it from tumbling over?"

ing to mechanics. and one of Fielder
faVOrite studies is electricity.
ON the road, at his hotel, or, in fact
wherever Mr.. Jones, is, he can be al
ways found with a supply of teNtOookS
dealing with the subject that our old
friend Edison has made famous.
AS talker on this subject lleIceF
has some of the longWinded lecture
lads beaten, and beaten bad at that
subject, and his enthusiastic discourses
are listened to with good nature by
his brother ball players.
During the last days of the recent
season, when the ChicaEOs were play
ing in Washington, Fielder Jones ran
across Charley Hickman. down at the
latter's store. and while Fielder was
looking over some catalogues concern
ing base bale Charley tossed him a
couple of electrical textbooks that had
been sent to the store, and which Mr.
after a fly.
What do you think of those books,
Fielder" asked the merry Hickman
They appear to be interestng.'
slowly replied Fielder. as he carefully
scanned one of the volumes IN ques-
ton; but anything on this subject is
interesting" continued Jones, FOR cleo
trlcity is a great thing, isn't It, Char
ley?" queried Fielder as he locked up
from his book.
"Oh, 1 don't know" said Charley in
good many people seem to make light
of it."
And then before Jones could hit Char
ley with the office safe the merry Hick
was beating it down the aisle in the
direction of a prospective customer.

Bill Coughlin's Wit.

Bill Coughlin, the gallant captain
and third baseman of the Detroit club,
Is not only a good ball player. but a
close observer of things in general,
and, although Sir William is one of
the easiest going of men, yet lie never
fails to express his opinions when
occasion arises.
Just after the series with the Chi
cago Cubs had been finished Mr.. Cough
lin paid a visit to his home folks up
in Scranton, Pa, and as Bill arrived
rather late al night, and did not wish
to put his people to the trouble of
preparing an extra meal for him, he
went to a cafe located over in the
Hyde Park section of that enteTpriSing
mining town.
Now, Bill Coughlin is as we'll known to
the citizens of Scranton as Charley Hick-
man or Harry White is known to the
average Washingtonian, and Bill Is just
as popular as these players with his
townspeople, who are justly proud of this
entered the cafe, after a little refresh
ment, he was greeted by the waiter as if
he were a prince.
When Bits order was served he started
in TO do justice TO it, while the waiter
stood at military attention and fairly
smothered William with his ingratiating
smiles.
The first crack out of the box Bill
struck an egg that surely was off color,
and when the waiter saw the expression
that came over the ball players face he
inquired in voice that tremored:
Has that egg been cooked too long,
Mr.. Coughlin?"
Not too long" shot back Bill, but not
soon enough

Frank Bowerman's Dog.

When Frank Bowerman, the sturdy
New York catcher, played with Nc
Graw at Baltimore he was daily fol-
lowed to the ball grounds by a shaggy
looking pup, whose appearance defied
all the dog fanciers of the Oriole club
from detecting the breed of the canine.
This particular cur appeared TO be
mixture of all the dogs in Christendom
and much guying ensued whenever
Frank showed up with the shaggy
brute.
One day Johnny McGraw asked Bow
erman as the latter came in the gate
where Robinson and the little third
baseman stood conversing:
Il say, Frank, what kind of a dog is
that?"
That's a base ball dog" repliei Bow
erman. as he prepared to light Il cigar
How comes it so, signor?" gaily
cried the hefty catcher Robinson.
why, you see" answered Frank, as
he took long pull at his cigar and
blew a cloud of smoke up in the air
he wears a muzzle, snaps at flies
chases fowls. and when he sees The dog

When HueIsman Was Struck.

Ball players are always afraid of a blow
in the head by pitched ball. and no
matter how much nerve they have, this
fear never leaves them, for to meet
a swift inshoot with ones Uranium is no
rollickng May-day experience.
When Huelsman was hit in the head on
the local grounds a few years ago he
found it impossible to sit down or stand
UP for a few days afterward.
One day when the Philadelphia were
playing in Washington Hunter Hill and
Pitcher Coakley of the Athletics got to
talking about Huelsman's case, and Hill
said to Coakley:
Isn't it strange that Huesman cannot
stand up or sit down?"
well, if Huelsman says that" replied
Coakley, he lies"
And while the joke was slowly permeat-
ing the British brain of Mr.. Hill, the
merry Coakley was over talking to Monte
Cross about what a nifty manager Con-
ME Mack was.

And Tom Looked Out the Window.

One day last summer, when the Cleve-
land club was playing a series in the Ma
tional capital, with Tim Hurst in the role
of umpire, Tom Hughes, bound for the
ball park, boarded a It'll street car and
sat down next to Tim, who was also
headed for the park. Tim was busily en-
gagged reading the news, and did not see
the tall pitched. Tom, who had pitched
the previous day, and had been a victim of
some of Tins alleged "wall-eyed' de
cisions, proceeded to make his presence
known by the following observations:
After some of the decisions you made
yesterday, l am very much surprised to
see you trying to read without glasses"
mo more surprised than I was yester-
day to see the Nationals trying to win
without a pitcher" replied the doughty
Timothy, and Tom looked out the window
and Tim resumed his paper.

What Bill Eassamer Sent.

When Roaring Bill Hassamer played an
outfeld position for the Washington club
a decade and more ago, he was easily the
main cut-up of that remarkable aggrega-
ton, that was then representing this city.
Bill was one of those loudly loqusclous
genuses. and was as restless as a healthy
schoolboy. He and the second baseman
of the Washington club, Piggy" Ward.
were boon companions, and they relied
on each other for cOmpanionship.
Neither of these illustrious gentlemen
was nodded along rapid-thinking lines.
Both had played hockey from school
many times In their youth, with the re-
suit that they We're not qualified TO hold
a college professorship in any of the col
leges; at least, not the big ones.
Now, Hassamer had the spending pro-
cliVities of d pdmpered son of a Pittsburg
millionaire, and this appetite for burning
the kale in punches kept Mr.. Hassamer
in financial straits right along.
One day when Bill was down and out,
or almost SO, he received a letter from
some one up in Cincinnati, who notified
him of a golden wedding ceremony that
was soon to take place.
Bill showed the letter to Ward, and that
gentleman Immediately notified his bosom
friend that it would be up to him to for
ward a golden present to the sender OF
the letter.
Are you sure that the present has got

Manuel's Expressive Countenance

Pitched Manuel. the New Orleans re-
cruit whom Washington had two seasons
ago, and who comes back into big league
society next year, was built along slender
lines. with a face that was rather long
and lean.
He had a most expressive countenance,
though, and his features would glow with
animation when he would be holding a
conversation with any of the members
of his club or, in fact. with any one else
When the New Yorks played here year
before last, and just before the first game
Of the opening series. Manuel was stand
ing over near the New Yorks bench in
company with Joe Stanley with whom he
was holding a rapid-fire conversation.
Manuel's rapid patter soon attracted the
attention of several members of the New
York club. among which number was
Jimmy Williams, the gallant second base
man, who, after watching Manuel's facial
expression for a few moments, turned to
Al Orth and said
THAT fellow Manuel sure has an ami
mated expression, hasn't he? Every time
Joe Stanley speaks to him watch how his
face lights up" added Jimmy, as he
gazed at the lean Washington pitcher.
We'll" drawled Al Orth. there is moth
ing strange about that. You see, Manuel
is lantern jawed."

Howard wilson's Explanation.

Howard Wilson, WHO played with PhiIa-
delph!a and later with Washington, aside
from being a clever pitcher. Is also an
expert matchmaker. and ne is in business
with his father in the watch and clock
line
All Of the Athletic players with whom
young Wilson played when he was doing
slab duty trade with Howard whenever
they want anything in the watch or clock
line, and because of the Athletics boost
Mr.. ilson receives a goodly profit each
base ball season from his business.
Wilson is something of a humorst. and
he never fails to take advantage of an
opportunity to have Il littln quiet fun at
the expense of some of his friends.
Last September Connie Mack. the clever
main gazabo of the Athletics, went up to-
Wilson's store in order to nave him look
over that expensive watch that was given
to Connie when he was a member Of the
Pittsburg club by his many admirers in
the Smoky city.
This watch. which had been running
regularly for years, suddenly halted in its
onward march, and Connie, who thinks
the world of the valuable timepiece, hot
footed 1t in the direction of Howard VIII
sons place.
Arriving there. he produced the watch
and showing it to the genial -Ir Wilson
he asked him what the trouble was with
the Pittsourg token of esteem.
The matter" replied the one-time
clever pitcher, as he opened up the works
Of the chronometer and peered within, lis

a bedbug under the mainspring!" cried
Connie, as a look Of bewilderment over
spread his expressive features. And
how IN the world did it get there, How
ard?' he inquired as he leaned over to
take look at the dead body of the in
truder.
Il think replied Howard. as he edged
away from Mr.. Mack and prepared to do
a quick duckfng stunt, that it must have
got in between the ticks.
