BROWNE GREAT PLAYER.
Washington Boy Is One Of the Fast
est Men In Profession.

I Fr01n the New OK GtQDe
George Browne has not always been a
star ball player. but that was not alto
gether his fault he simply got started
wrong. that's all, Browne had the mis-
fortune to be plucked from the minor
league tree by the National League club
at Philadelphia. This was after the days
of Delehanty. Laioie, and other famous
Phnlies, and Browne found no one 10
teach him major league tricks.
They Wed with Brooklyn, Boston and
St Louis in an effort TO land the cellar
| championship. In this company Browne
did not shine. He didn't create loud
noise in any department Of the game.
and ne was finally released TO the New
| York club, which at that time was being
moulded into a pennant winner by Nc
Graw.
Browne began his real career here. He
mixed with athletes who played progress
sive baseball and he learned lots Of
things from his manager. He Is natur-
ally endowned with many qualities that
go to make UP a baseball star and Nc
Graw soon polished him into the real ar
ticle. He has always been a very fast
man on the bases or in the field. He can
sprint down to first base about as quick
ly as any player in either big league.
In fact, Browne thinks he can demon
strate his superiority IN the sprints over
any player. not excepting the feet-footed
Billy Maloney, Of Brooklyn.
Like a great many speedy youngsters
! Browne did not get the best results out
Of his speed until he framed up with the
Giants Many a fast man will not steal
/ as many bases as a slower runner who
/ gets started quickly. Browne improved
I in his base running and registered a
great many runs for the Giants by eats
OF daring base running such as ne ac-
I compilshed over IN Brooklyn on the
Fourth of July, when he scored from
/ second base on an inheld out He ran
! all the way TO the plate on a ball fieded
/ by Casey to First Baseman Jordan, and
beat the latter's throw home. Sprirts
/ like these often win ball games and
| Browne has pulled them or many times.
Browne Is at once the Keeler and the
Hoffman Of the Giants. He and Devlin are
the best run getters on the team, and
Browne Is the most reliable bunter and
sacrifice hitter because OF his speed IN
getting down 10 first base He is quite
a hit specialist. too. Not only can he
lay them down neatly, but ne bangs out
| those long hits 20 right field. His home
run IN the bleachers In one OF the recent
| Boston games was a very lusty walIop
for d batter who appears 10 be too light
for such hits.
OF all the outf1eiders in either league
few have as good a throwing arm as
that which Browne possesses. His whip"
is a powerful one and enables him 10
throw accurately for a long distance He
has plnehed many a runner at the plate
after catch far out in right field.
Washington is the city that produced
Browne. He has been playing profess
gional ball about seven years. He lE stiii III

ED. GEERS' FIRST WINNERS.
How Famous Driver Took Two
Races with CIergymHn's Horse.

DAAASE ADOk NU
Races with a CIergymHn's Horse.
No doubt the most popular figure on the
trotting turf to-day Is the veteran reins-
man Ed. Geers- His sturdy personality.
his long and honorable connection with
the light harness horse sport. and his
brilliant career make him extremely
popular with the crowds. and no driver
Is given a heartieT ovation when he wins.
or does any have the publics sympathy

than is Honest Ed Geers.
During his thirty-Odd years of active
turf life there has not been q single oc-
casion when the slightest breath of sus-
picion has been manifest in any way in
connection with GeeTs. and it has been
this trait Of always trying to win that
has earned for him his popularity and
the thorough confidence he enjoys.
Geers was born on a farm near Leba-
nons Tenn, January %, 1851. and from bov-
hood took an ardent interest in horses
His success in breaking colts and getting
along with nervous, high-struug horses.
when in his teens, earned for him quite
a local reputation.
In 1Sll a neighboring clergyman who
usualy owned good horse or two pur-
chased a number Of young animals Of
Morgan breed. engaging young Geers to
handle them for him. Among the lot
was a team OF grays which their owner
entered in the show class at the county
fair.
When Geers took his team to the fair.
he also took with him a small chestnut
stallion called Little Dave. Without the
knowledge of his clerical owner. Geers
entered the latter in the green trot, rae
ing him TO a skeleton wagon. and win
ming IN straight heats, the fastest mile
being trotted In 3;04.
The following week Little Dave was
also started at the Murfreesboro fair, and
again won. Although Geers has driven
hundreds Of brilliant races since that
time. and Notwithstanding that scores Of
champions have been made and trained
by him, it is plainly evident even to this
day Chat Is when one can find the vet
eran reinsman in a reminiscent mood,
that the memory of the pride he expert
enced in winning his first two races af-
forded him more genuine pleasure than
any OF the great triumphs which have
marked his long and successful career.
