GONE AWAY TO REST.
But Morristown Mans Friends Fear He
Has Met with Accident.


YOUNGSTOWN, Aug. 23.-William
Burke disappeared from his home on
Miller street, this city, yesterday, and
all efforts made to locate him have
been fruitless. He is 26 years old and
has been employed at Morris Plains.
where some time ago he suffered a
slight sunstroSe. He told some of his
fellow workmen a few days ago that
he would like to get away in the woods,
where he could rest without being dis
turbed. Thorough search of the woods
where it vas thought he might have
gone, by his friends, has been without
avail. 1t is feared that some accident
has befallen him. He wore a winter
cap and old country coat of gray tweed
and black trousers. He is of very dark
complexion, with black hair.

NAT HICKS PLAYED HERE.
Famous Catcher Once Belonged to the
Nationals.

1t Is strange that In the great publicity
that has recently been given that famous
old catcher. NAT" Hicks, no one has men,
toned the fact that he was once the
catcher of the National base ball club Of
this city
AS Is well known, Hicks was the first
catcher in America to go up behind the bat
and catch the swift shoots right off the
reel. and this. too. without gloves. masks,
or any sort Of protection against the foul
tips and missed strikes. Hicks was the
receiving end Of the National battery in
1870. and in the New York Clipper of that
year was the following notice: among
the youngest catchers Of 1870 may be named
Hicks of the Nationals, afterwari the
clever backstop Of the Stars. Hicks Is
the swiftest and hardest thrower that
catches behind the bat. and this very
frequently becomes a drawback. because,
depending on his speed. he too often takes
things leisurely. and when he does throw
the ball Is sent down with such speed that
the base player cannot hold 1t, indeed 1t
Is frequently a task to stop 1t. Hicks Is a
gra ceful catcher. and promises with ex-
perience to excel he gets closer to the
bat than any player before the public. His
record with the National club was good. for
in thirteen games he put out ninety-four.
assisted to put out thirty seven and batted
free and made plenty of runs"

SUCCESS OF THE
DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE

The opening week of play in the Depart
mental Base Ball League has more than
pleased the promoters of the game among
the clerks. and. President Chance wen
remarked. the crowds that attended the
contests. both in number and quality, speak
well for the future success of the organi-
cation.
With the exception of the opening game.
the contests have all been full Of life and
ginger. and the spectators have all been
amply repaid for attending. and perhaps
missing hot dinner.
Each contest has been played as speedily
as possible. as Umpire Belts keeps the ma
chinery in motion all the time and will not
allow any loafing between innings The
clubs seem to be more evenly balanced than
last year. and closer games will be the rule
The games for the coming week are: Mon
day, Post Office and Commerce and Labor;
Tuesday. Interior and Treasury; Wednes-
day. Commerce and Labor and Navy; no
game Thursday: Friday. Post Office and
Treasury; no game Saturday.

SENT OUT MANY GOOD ONES
Famous Players That Graduated From
the Creightons.

The old Creighton base ball team of this
city. junior organization that fourishe1
in 1870. II and -. was the preparatory
for more good players than usually falls
to the lot of one squad Of juniors.
Indeed, it is doubtful If, in the history
of the game. there Is another instance
where directly from youngster outfit
like the Creightons so many star players
went right into the ranks Of the profess
SIGNALS and at once made good. In one
year 0S73) they turned into the big league
fold Charley Snyder the catcher who be-
came the foremost in the land: Sadie
Houck. the great shortstop: Joe Gerhardt.
the king of second basemen: Paul Hines.
the famed center fielder and little Ed
Nichols, who made good with St. Louis.
This is splendid galaxy from the little
Washington youngsters and, strange to
say, they had others who remained anna
tours. who were regarded as just as good
as those who went over.

NEW YORK, May 25.-The contest for

Golf Association on the links of the Nassau
Country Club on Long Island today was
narrowed down to two players-Jerome d.
Travers of Montclair, n. j., the present

golf yesterday, when he defeated Fred
Herreshoff in an exciting match On the
other hand, Travers' mettle has not been
severely tested in the earlier rounds and IL
remained for today's contest to determine
whether he is up to championship form.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 2o.-Mlke KEEL
ley who has just been purchased by the
Washington club of the American League
from the Minneapolis club of the American
Association, has had a most interesting time
of it the past two or three years-in fact
his career on the diamond would furnish
the vehicle for a corking good farce with
base ball trimmings. However, the base ball
fans of this section hope that the people
who have been trying to put Mike Kelley
out of the game will fall by the wayside
now and be forgotten.
Prior to 1902 Mike Kelley had been play
ing with the indianapolis club in the Gen.
trail League, and also with some OF the
smaller teams, having made hit as captain
of the minor league teams. He made
success of il at lndianapoliS-So much so
that George Lennon of the St. Paul club
secured him for that team, paying Owner
Watkins $500 for his release Then came the
advent of the American Association and the
war with the Western League. Kelley was
manager of the st. Paul club and handled
the team cleverly. playing first base him
self. He won tie pennant and made such
Roadway that the next year owner Lennon
announced that Kelley had purchased an
interest in the club and would be made
president of the club.
on this announcement Kelley was elected
to the board of directors as chairman and
held the position until the trouble be-
tween the two factions in the association
arose that later created such a sensation in
base ball circles. Kelley afterward became
involved in a personal dispute with Owner
Lennon and the following year left the st.
Paul man to take the management and
presidency of the Minneapolis club. 1t de-
veloped afterward that w. II. Watkins and
Charles Raushaupt of Indianapolis were the
principal owners of the Minneapolis club.
Then came the trouble between the Wat
kins and Lennon Tebeau factions. The
ST Paul club announced that 1t had sold
Kelley to the ST. Louis club of the Amer
lean League Mr.. Lennon maintaining that
Kelley was hired player and could not
leave, while Kelley claimed to be free
agent and under no contract.
The sale was always considered to be a
'phouy" one. The national commission
took the matter up and Kelley had them
cnJoned from interfering. but afterward
dropped that phase OF the case. Kelley
was prevented from playing, but was per-
mitted to manage from the bench. The
controversy over the official base ball fol-
lowed and Kelley sided with the Watkins
crowd.
Following all this trouble came the UNI
pire fasco at Minneapolis and later the
claim that Umpire Owens had been betting
on games. This was followed by the sus-
pension of Kelley and also Secretary I.y-
diard of the Millers. There was an oDen
trial at Milwaukee, but nothing wa pro en-

against Kelley. Later he was suspended
by the american Association and about the
same time the Minneapolis club was pur-
chased by the late Gus Koch of Milwaukee,
Then followed the bitter fight at Minneap-
oils, the people of that city siding with KEEL
ley SO strongly that the attendance fell off
from 200 to 5000 daily to 100 or 200. Mr.
Koch got tired of the job and refused to
fight against Kelley. so it was not long be-
fore he sold out to the Cantillon brothers
Joe and Mike-and they lost no time in plac-
ing Kelley right. They had him squared In
a way with the association and also re-en-
gagged him, placing him in charge of their
Des Moines club in the Western League.
Once more the national commission broke
in and tried to have Kelley stopped from
playing or managing the team at Des
Moines, the claim being made that he still
belonged to st. Louis. In order to STOP all
further attempts to injure Kelley in his
profession Joe Cantillon bought his re ease
from ST. Louis and proposes to use him at
first base for the Nationals.
Kelley is a splendid captain of team
and knows the inside plays as well as the
big league men. He is good fielder and
fair hitter. so there is no reason why he
should not help Joe Cantilon. even in the
major league. The fans from this section
wish him success.

Glasscock and the Waiter.
Although the base ball players Of a
decade and more ago were decidedly of the
| spendthrift order. still there were excep-
lions. One of these rare exceptions existed
| in the person of Jack Glasscock, the famous
! shortstop in his time. but fellow who had
the Russell Sage instinct.
| The hotel walters all along the route
| which the ball teams travelled waited on
| Jack only under compulsion, one might say,
as there was nothing doing in the tipping
| line for them where Mr.. Glassccck was con-
| cerned.
! Now, when ball teams are travelling on the
| cars 1t Is customary for me manager of the
club to give to each player a dollar with
which to buy his dinner. He can go with
| out his dinner. If he SO desires. and thus
save this money. Now. while GlasscOck was
| near" in money matters, he had a great
| appetite, and one cannot buy dinner on
| a car for less than a dollar he was forced
| to pay this amount or go hungry.
| He preferred to eat, and on one particular
| day he had finished a hearty ,inner In the
dining car. and when his waiter came
around he handed over his money. The
waiter, who was new one, looked at the
money and then he looked at Glasscock
| and with an ingratiating smile he softly
purred in voice that was meant to be ap-
pealing:
Did the gentleman forget the waiter?
| l see that he has not left anything over
| for him.
| Neither" said Jack in calm, even tones
| docs the gentleman remember having
| eaten the waiter."t
