the scandal. The country was Just
recovering from the Civil war and
the era was one of moral and bust
ness decentralization. Bribery and
corruption were the order Of the
day, and throughout this period of
most intense and dramatic action
Erie was ever conspicuous. Legis-
lature, courts and common coun-
ellis were forced to play the parts
in the intrigue and Vaccinations in
volving poor old Erie. This epoch
is the foulest page in the annals of
the city and state of New York.
BY the time the tripartite rule
was ended Erie's share capital had
been swelled to $34,0OO,OOO. Under
Fisk and Gould, who succeeded to
the mastery, the total was jumped
to $56,O00,000. Meantime Jim" Fisk
had been laid low by the bullet of
his former friend, Ned" Stokes,
and control passed to Jay Gould.
That was in 1871. The year fol-
lowing Colonel George Crouch COM
bined two warning English factors
and engineered daring and mar
velously clever coup, wrestling the
property from the Little Wizard
and making General John A. Dix
president. That incident, one of
the most exciting and dramatic in
the whole story of Erie, terminated
Gould's connection with the road.
Maybe after all he was not sorry
to let go, for he had squeezed the
orange dry and was after other
game.
The next decade or so was pass
ed In rather comparative quiet.

BY W, G. NICHOLAS

"Anj on the sixth day the Lord
made all creeping and crawling
things"
The foregoing, from Genesis, is
supposed to be a chronicle of the
beginning of Erie (the railroad). It's
creation is involved in sufficient
mist to at least give color to the
ribal suggestion.
The original Erie represented the
conversion Of series of wagon
roads from New York to Buffalo
into about as clumsy a specimen Of
railroad as was ever constructed. 1T
was broad gauge" (six FOOT and
the passenger coaches were as big
as grain elevators. It was built
largely with English capital and the
Englishmen have always kept
money invested in the property, al
though generations of them were
numerically robbed by successive
arrangements.
From the start Erie had a hard
row to hoe. 1t got in wrong, and
has kept consistently wrong ever
since. It was one of the pioneer
railroads of the United States. For
so years or more it has been a
ceaseless struggle with Erie to keep
alive, and times without number it
has been submerged in sea Of
bankruptcy. When not in the act OF
being rolled over a barrel by finan-
cial doctors to get the surplus
water out of it's system it has been
in process OF being pumped full Of
more water to the bursting point.
And so the poor old thing Is always
either in state Of excessive drop
steal expansion or extreme emacia-
ton.
Nothing very bad attached to the
record of Erie until uncle Dan'r'
Drew got hold of 1t in 1857, That
was before the days of big figures,
and the entire capitalization was
only about $12,O00,000.
Uncle Danr" had gained his
knowledge Of railroading and of
Wall st. driving hogs and running
steamboats,, the latter in opposition
to Commodore Vanderbilt, pursuits

in which he had amassed fortune
of $2,00O,000 or more. He held sole
control of Erie up to about 1865,
when he formed an alliance with
Jim Fisk and Jay Gould. While
Erie was under his personal iicta-
tOrship he ran the capitalization up
to $24,000,000, and at the same
time achieved fame in Wall ST. as
about the shiftiest Spectator and
manipulation of the period. lnciden-
tally he rolled his fortune up to
$13,000,000. which he kept in a
liquid" state. When in his prime
Uncle DAMP could command
more ready cash than any man in
America.
Uncle Danl" did a succession OF
spectacular stunts with Erie while
he was in the saddle, and on two
separate and distinct occasions
trimmed the doughty founder Of
the Vanderbilt dynasty out of mil
lions, for be 1t known the commo-
dore coveted the road. Repeatedly
he attempted to wrest Erie from
Drew, but the latter always man.
aged to hold on and generally get
the best Of it.
He kept on trying, even after
Uncle Dan'l' had tied up with
Fisk and Gould, and on one notable
occasion got the trio in corner
whence escape seemed impossible.
He had apparently bought about all
the capital stock. but he had not
reckoned on the ability of the COM

bination to increase the volume of
certificates or on their willingness
to take chances. 1t was this crisis
that inspired Jim" Fisk to remark
that II "the printing press don't
give out We will supply the id
old hog all the Erie he wants."
The printing press proved equal
to the emergency and the commo-
dore was supplied with $4,000 aj-
ditional shares, which in those
days was going some.
Before the unholy trinity, Drew,
Fisk and Gould, had been in ex-
istence long the newly recruited
students Of high finance. as it was
then evoluting, conspired to "do"
the ancient trickster. He had
taught them all he knew and they
improved on his methods. In the
course Of two or three years they
succeeded in chiseling him out of
Erie and in 1869 the old man was a
bankrupt. His $13,000,0O0 had been
played back into the market, and

went into eclipse. Ten years later
he died at the Grand Union hotel in
New York. He never recovered
prestige or fortune, but was quaint
ly in Wall st. to the last.
The big fight with Commodore
Vanderbilt, the one in which the
triple alliance landed him with
$4,000 shares of newly issued stock,
was followed by series of tremen-
iously exciting events, resulting
finally in the restitution of $1,000
900 by the combination and COM
promise with the enraged cOmmo-
dore. The battle of the giants was
leading feature in an era of po-
litical corruption in New York city
and state that has never been paral-
leled. 1t involved the legislature
at Albany, the city government and
the judiciary.

Good catchers are mighty scarce,
as the last two or three seasons in
major league baseball has shown
conclusively Johnny King, Roger
Bresnahan, Lou Criger and Billy
Sullivan probably rank higher than
any men in the business. And just
now King is regarded as having
the edge because of his wonderful
work in the last worlds series.
Catching is natural to some
men," said King, land unless a
man feels that he is intended by
nature to become catcher, he
should not tackle the position or he
will not rise above the ordinary.
"A hackstop requires a cool, clear
head; an intimate knowledge Of
every detail of the game; he must
know the strength and weakness of
every batter; he must possess a
good arm and brain capable Of
out-guessing the other fellows.

ness gives the catcher a great adj

it Is safe to waste in lying in wait

possible, Of course, and 1t is the

GOLD BR|CKEO
ON BASEBALL

A pitcher sometimes can win
ball game alone. But it's hard
job for him to do it without even
encouragement. Such was Mullen's
position yesterday. Even II the
man behind him had Fingered up
little, he might still have held those
heavy-hitting lumberjacks from
aberdeen down. But there was
nothing behind him that would lend
ginger to anything. Sturgeon, a
City Lacquer, at shortstop had stage
fright, but at that, although he fire.
quently stepped on himself, played
as good game as Chandler had
played, and as good as any Of the
other players except Mackin, at
second; James, Hulen and Reniker.
With those exceptions Quinn had
better get busy and pay some sal
aries SO he can get team in Spo-
kane that will represent the city
and the enthusiastic fans who, al
though they realize the town is up
against 1t when 1t comes to base
ball, are still willing to boost II
there's anything at all to boost for.
But this outfit is too much of a gold
brick to be borne with longer.
Spokane has team far inferior
at least to Aberdeen. They can't
compare very favorably with the
other teams unless the league is on
the rocks. Three games are enough
to get line on them. Spokane
would support winning team. 1t
even now gives as good support to
a losing team. and has for years,
as the other towns do to the win
ners. The change they have been
hoping for Is this year a change for
the worse.
OF the Twilight leaguers signed
by Quinn only two of them have
shown any class-ROgers, catcher,
and Mackin, the bow-legged young
ster who plays second.
There are strong hints that
Quinn is getting his Twilight
leaguers for 800 a month. Base
ball players don't have to work for
small money in this league If they
can play the game at all. There is
good big salary limit, and Spo-
kane can make enough money to
pay every man on the team the
limit.
AS was customary, Aberdeen won
yesterday, score 6 to 0. The de-
tails are not worth while.
