BUzzED TILL HE
GOT NAME FAN"
How the Modern Baseball
Enthusiast Connected With
the Word

In baseball literature there is no
word so current as that Of "fan" 1t
has crept into the vernacular of the
pen-pushers of baseball history with
an abandon equal 20 the use Of the
purest adjective conned from words
used in Worcester's or Webster's I'm
abridged dictionaries, says the Wash
iington Star.
1t is used by spectators recklessIy,
whether they fill seats in the grand
stands or out among those cleverest Of
critics enthroned on the sun bleachers,
and yet if you asked any information
in regard to its use, whence its deriva-
ton or where it originated, not one
in thousand could impart the slight
est item that would lead up to its start
as a baseball phrase.
Yet 30 per cent. of those who use the
term "fan," whether male or female,
would tell you that to all intents and
purposes a "fan" is a person heavily
charged with baseball lore, like a
thirty ight-horse- power gasoline auto
car, and is always ready to blow off,
a quantity Of this overcharge on all oc-
lcasions, and at the slightest provoca-
ton, on the public generally.
The word was used in print by the
St. Louis Republican away back in
1883. and its use has spread from one
end of America to the other and, like
many others Of similar character, it
was started by that versatile character
Ted Sullivan. Sullivans story was to
the effect that a man used to come into
the Browns headquarters, and, no
matter who was around, Would COM
lmence hurling at him a fusilade of
questions in regard TO every player,
every rule and things in general about
the team. He would give his personal
opinion in regard to all matters per-
tanning TO the game, and there was no
player but he had personal acduaint-
ance with. He always exhibited his
CROOKED fingers. built on the plans OF
Dug" Allison and Charley Snyder, as
monuments of his work on the Pow
hatans. Of New York. He became a
decided bore and one day his TRADE
was so annoying that Ted sent him
away on a foolish chase, and after he
had left Sullivan said to Comiskey:
What name is applicable to such
lfiend as that?"
Charley Comiskey replied, HE is a
fanatic"
Sullivan replied: "That he is, but I
will abbreviate that word and call him
a fam"
So whenever he came around again
the boys would say. "The fan is around
again"

Objection was made to devoting the
institute to discussions on taxation and
similar subjects, and Professor Hay

affecting farmers, the character of
soils and the improvement of crops
and live husbandry. He advised enter

hold economies, as well as the arrange

stronger local support for the insti-

meeting should be held as a field day.
THE institute should be a school of
instruction for the farmer" he said.

At the North Avenue Casino, in Bal
timore last night. the Maryland Ath-

defeat TO the Wilmington team,
the score at the finish being NJ. A. c.,

the Baltimore Suns sporting writer de-
scribes the contest:
The Delawareans came to Baltimore
with a clean record. 1t was said they
had never been defeated. The M. A. c.
got on the job quickly and found 1t too
easy. In fact, the local team could
have won with but two players, its
fleet forwards. only on four occasions
did its defense have to interfere to
prevent possible goals. Given these
four shoots and the score goal VIII
mington would have been beaten to
1s.
Willie and Mickey Whitehurst simply
toyed with the visitors. The game
gave Willie Whitehurst a chance to es-
tablish a record for the rink. In the
latter part OF the last half he shot a
goal in four seconds after the bail was
IN play M. A. c. shot six goals in the
first half. which was OF 20 minutes.

LANCASTER, Pa, July 28, 1908.
No more cries for d q are being heard
now from the tobacco growers. They
have had all that is needed for the
present, and there is danger now of the
crop being damaged by too much wet
weather. In not few low-lying points
tobacco was damaged by the heavy sur
face drainage. On the whole, however,
the crop looks well. and promises
boGnteous return for the labor being
given it.
About the only business the leaf to-
bacco packers have had lately was that
from the local cigar manufacturers The
latter have not been pushed with orders,
it is true, but most OF them have had
enough on hand to enable them to keep
moving. Packers report slight stiffen
ing of prices for 1906 goods, and good
advance on the 1907. Some was report
ed as having brought 1515 cents pound
actual weight, but as names were no.
give7 we only make this state nent as a
rumor. There is no doubt, however,
that this tobacco is advancing in price.
1t appears to be in fine condition, ard
the packers who have good holdings are,
in consequence, happy over the outlook.

Uonnecsicut valley Tobacco Marker.

The outlook for the growing crop con-
tinues to be most encouraging and it is
unanimously admitted that not in a
great many years has the tobacco been
as far advanced or the leaf looking as
we'll as at present For time it looked
as if there was danger of the tobacco
suffering from lack of moisture, but this
trouble has been removed by number
of nice showers of late. The opinion of
farmers is that there is now enough
water to carry the early set crops to the
harvest though the late set would un-
doubtedly benefit from some more rain.
A little damage has been done by hail,
but not enough to amount to anything.
A few buyers have been around looking
for 1905 goods, but farmers are inclined
to ask stiff figures and very little has
been purchased. The average price
asked ranged from 20 to % cents. The
1907 crop assorted is also being held at
pretty high figures, the impression pre-
vailing that there will be an upward
turn in the market after the vacation
season has passed

WIsCoNsIN.ToBACCo MARKET.
EDGERToN, Wis. Aug. 7, 1908.

EDGERToN, Wis, Aug. Z, 1908.
The chief concern now is centered in
the outcome of the new crop, which has
reached critical stage. The past ten
days of hot drying weather has been very
trying and is beginning to leave it's i'm
press on the fields. Rain is badly need
ed in most OF the growing sections and
must come soon if anything like a good
binder crop is realized. Every day now
shows the pinching effects of the drouth
and will shorten the size of the leaf in
the most forward fields already topped
In cured leaf the market furnishes less
news than for some time past. Aside
from the usual small trade on manufac-
turers' orders no transactions of any
moment are reported. Dealers both at
home and in the eastern circles are
waiting and hoping for return of the
business to more nearly normal condi-
tions.
There has been some feeling of the
pulse OF growers regarding contracts for
the new crop, but everything is now
called off until the outcome of the crop
is more nearly determined.
The shipments out of storage have de-
clined to about 400 cases for the week to
all points from this market

NEW YORK, July 30, 1908.

There has been no marked change in
market conditions since the last report
The entire month has been dull in the
domestic leaf market. However, the ar
rival of Western buyers is scheduled for
the second week in August. and then q
different state of affairs is anticipated
With gradual improvement in the
manufacturing industry that is notice
able, the necessity for the manufactur-
ers replenishing their stocks of leaf will
inevitably lead to stronger demand for
immediate consumption.
Sumatra.-It is interesting to learn
that during the Inscriptions of this year,
including the one of July 10, 1876, Ito
bales of Sumatra were sold at an aver
age price of 1O5 cents DUTCH, while
during the corresponding period of last
year l74,286 bales were sold at an aver
age price of 181 cents Dutch. And in
spite of the fact that over $4,000 more
bales were sold this year than last, at an
average price of rs Dutch cents less than
was paid for last years tobacco, much
smaller amount came to America, show
ing conclusively that the Sumatra offer
ings this year contained comparatively
small amount of tobacco suitable for
American use. New Sumatra is selling
freely in the local market. Leaf.
