Bill Everett's Discovery.

When wild Bill Everett was the cap
tain and manager of the Washington club
he was at times given to irritability, and
when In one Of these moods Capt. Bill
would make things howl for few minutes
But Bill was a good fellow at heart, and
his crouch did not last long. and on the
whole he was popular with the other mem.
bers of the team.
One morning Everett came into the club
house in a particularly fussy mood, and
after he had expressed himself at some
length on the existing conditions about the
edifice he finished his little chilicon carne
spiel by adding in that high-pitched voice
of his:
You never can find anything about this
blankety club house"
Clarence Foster. the center fielder, who
was standing near, and who was one OF
those soft-spoken persons, quietly retorted
as he continued to button up his shirt:
You seem to have no trouble. captain, in
finding fault"

among owners of large and small racing

of the plan Of official board prevails it
is not unlikely that the Jockey Club will

When Rube Waddell Made a Hit.

OF course every one knows that RUDE
Waddell takes to fishing as a duck takes
to water. and when the call of the finny
tribe reaches Waddell 1t is him to the
rivers and the stream.
He hearkened to one of these calls early
last spring. and while the sorely tried Con-
ME Mack was searching everywhere for the
distinguished George Edward, that cele-
brated worthy was engaged in the pursuit
that made Izaak Walton famous.
While wandering UP the shady river. In

Although a sign warned him that there
was nothing doing for outsiders at the
fishing game in that particular lot, Rube
determined to have a couple of throws any
way.
So disregarding the warning, Waddell
clambered over the barrier and started in
to fish.
He was doing real we'll in the hauling out
line when a heavy hand was laid on his
shoulder and a gruff voice wanted to know
what he was doing there.

Trial by Jury.
From the London Planet.

The unanimity of twelve jurymen, which
in ordinary life would be regarded as a
chimera, Is too often only obtained by the
sacrifice of principle and conviction. In
this respect we think that both America
and England have much to learn from the
working of the criminal law in Scotland,
where majority OF the jury decide the
question.

Laioie and the Train Boy.

Napoleon Lajoie, the prince of base ball
tossers, is a person of very peculiar tenn
permanent. One of his eccentricities con-
sists in his Discrimination to talk on any
subject connected with the great Ameri-
can game, of which he is the bright scintil-
lating star. Lajoie also dislikes being dis
turbed when he Is riding on the railway
cars, for on these occasions the gallant
Frenchman loves to rest his head on the
cushions of the seat. while his face takes
on a dreamy expression, as he builds cas-
ties in Spain out of the money that will
come when he lands the bunting for Cleve-
land.
The other day when the Cleveland club
was on its way back home Lajoie was
thus seated and the other players, recog-
niZing the mood of their chief. Kept at
respectful distance and conversed IN quiet
tones.
While thus engaged what was their nor

Bill Carrick's Lament.

OF all the professional ball players who
Carrick was the most enthusiastic. Bill
could sit In game all night and then go
into the box the next day and pitch win
ming ball.
Bill was one of the gamest men who ever
handled the cards. too; and as an expert
at this sport Of kings. well as aces and
queens he was almost a wiz.
Nothing pleased Carrick 80 much as to
get into game on the cars, when his team
was travelling from one city to another; and
he was invariably lucky. Owing to his
well-known fodness for cards he won for
himself the nickname of Poker Bill.
When Carrick played on the Washington
ing from st. Louis to Chicago, the boys
started little game in the smoking car
They had not been playing long when a
youth of exceeding freshness and whose
father was one of Chicago's millionaires,
strolled into the car and seeing what was
doing asked to be allowed to take a hand.
He was allowed to come in. and from his
playing 1t soon became apparent that he
knew about as much concerning high-class
poker as Bill Squires knows about fighting
But the Chicago lad was a chesty youngster
and wanted it understood that he was one
OF the swiftest poker propositions east of
the great divide.
Consequently nobody felt any qualms of
conscience about trimming him
When 1t was all over and the moneyless
youth was beating it to his parlor car Lew
Drill looked after his retreating FORM and
with a shake Of his head remarked:
"A fool and his money are easily parted -
YES" assented Carrick. as he began
gathering up the cards. but the trouble Is
that there are not enough fools to go
around"

What Altrock Told the Conductor.

When the members OF the chicago team
were on their way back to Chicago, Just
after finishing their last eastern trip, there
was no end to the good time the merry
fellows were having until they struck a
section of the road where they were bur-
dened with new conductor who was crab
like in his demeanor. and whose officious-
ness was offensive in the extreme.
OF course, the trainman acted within
his rights, but any one ought to have
gumption enough to know that one must
give plenty of latitude to winning ball
club.
Still this conductor couldn't see it that
way and he enforced the regulations with
a harshness that would have done credit
to one of Cotton Mather's tin star jokes
In the days of the Salem witchcraft
After he had stopped the fellows from
playing a friendly game of cards in the
parlor cars. and was still puffed up over
the feat like pouter pigeon, Nick Altrock,

That's what 1t says" responded RUDE;
but 1 wasn't fishing on the ground; 1 was

This remark so ticked the man, who hap
pened to be the proprietor of the park.
that after he had learned the identity of
the big pitcher he invited him up to the
house to lunch, and now whenever RUDE
is in Philadelphia and wants to indulge in
fishing he has a standing invitation to use
that wel-stocked lake at any and all times.
What Upset Crawford.
Sam Crawford, the doughty slugger of the
Detroit team. is noted for having one of
the largest appetites in the base ball world,
and when the other ball players are taken
into consideration, along with their we'll
known prowess at the eating game, it can
be readily seen that Mr.. Crawford is almost
in a class with the nifty giants we used to
read about in our boyhood days.
When Sam gets through meal and set
ties back in his chair preparatory to using
his napkin. you may rest assured that
there has been something doing in the
feeding line. for there Is no foolng about
Crawford at the meal hour.
The other day Sam entered a Griswold
sgtreet restaurant in Detroit and ordered a
porterhouse steak. When the waiter with
a smile and bow was his way to the
kitchen to execute Mr.. CrawfOrd's COM
mand that gentleman waved him back
again and said:

LOST BILL HULEN
FOUND IN CANADA

Billy Hulen, the fast little ball
player who mysteriously vanished
from Everett years ago after de-
nestle troubles of more or less pub
licity, has been discovered. He is
playing short for the Medicine Hat
team clear across the Canadian line
and long way from his homestead
down in Ashland, Oregon.
Dem Gay Is the rediscoverer OF
Billy. He has recently returned
from the north where he says they
are playing the great Yankee game
in way to make the dyed in the
wool fans take notice right along.
A lot of players, like Hulen, are
contract jumpers from this side.
When Hulen left he didn't wait tOl
say goodbye. The Everett team
went to the depot for a trip. Aci
cording to schedule Hulen should!
have been at the depot. But he
never came. A little while previous
Billy had had his troubles and MRS.
Hulen didn't disappear with him.
Billy had played with Seattle be-
fore coming to Everett and was 1
of the best known players in the
Northwest. He was captain of the
Everett team and had the Smoke
stackers right at top notch until he
pulled off his great disappearance
stunt. And the fans over there have
been wondering where Billy went
ever since.
