James Gould will represent the New
ark STAR during the spring workout
of the Tigers OF Milledgeville. Ga. Gould
is thoroughly familiar with the fine
points of the national game, and has a
knowledge of the ability of the men
who are expected to bring the pennant
to this city this season.
With Gould at the training camp the
readers of the STAR are assured of
expert and impartial news of the men
and the results that are being accom-
plished. If some young bush Lacquer
is showing good form. it will be printed
in the STAR. ON the other hand,
should a veteran give signs Of losing his
grip the fact will be recorded with
equal veracity. Gould's Instructions are
to send the news rom M.lledgeville just
as he sees il.
Some months ago Gould was in charge Of
the Maratbon race given under tho auspices
the most successful ever helds up to that
time. and the entire credit for the achieve
ment went to Gould.
He also helped make q success of the Sea
Girt to Newark relay race. which was also
given under the auspices of the STAR.
The installation of the new press will
give the STARS added facilities for rushing
news 10 the street. All articles will be
illustrated by special photographs.
Gould will join the party which leaves
Newark Monday morning at $3.50 o'clock,
and after the party has come together in
Washin gton, all the players aud the rest

Nothing like that. Johnny Kelly is the

that many of the boys heard about it.

The best exhibition given last night
was that which was made by Keller,
one of the Elizabeth pin-knights. He
tailed 10, this being recorded on
twelve perfect hits, on all of which he
filled well. He was the last man to
bowl for his team and the wind-up
was excellent.
When r. Haeberle. of the Arion B
team, got his tally of an even 100, he.
too, hit the head-pin every time, but
he secured but five pins in the first
frame, and it was no easy task to
reach the century mark. He needed
nine pins in the last box and secured
just that number.

time, and the soldiers of Uncle Sam
had to hold in check the madness of
the men that swarmed into the new
Ell Dorado. Few Of those who started
across the mountains and the deserts
that fenced off California knew of the
hardships they must face. Each new
arrival brought tales of horror from
the trail. Lost and starving, the i'm
migrants struggled off their paths, un-
til sacrifice of life made terrible the
days.
Finally Rucker was ordered east.
He left San Francisco in a steamer
for Panama, with Lieutenant Sherman
-afterward General Sherman-as one
of his companions. They made the
trip across the isthmus of Panama
by ponies and small, boats and then
sailed for Jamaica, where Sherman
and Rucker paid friendly call on
General Santa Ana, whom they had
worsted at Buena Vista. Major Rueker
saw several years of comparatively
peaceful service in the East and then
he was again sent out to the frontier.
This time his battlefields covered New
Mexico, in constant warfare with the
Apaches While he was in this work
the civil war broke out and he was
ordered back to Washington.
In September, 1851, he was pro-
NOTED to Colonel of volunteers and in
May, 1868, President Lincoln made
him Brigadier General of volunteers.
In 1866 he was made Brevet Majg'
General of volunteers and In 1866 he
was mustered out of the volunteer
ranks.
But he was made Colonel and as
sistant quartermaster general of the
regular service and served as such UNI
til February Is, 1882, when he was
made Brigadier General and quarter
master general. AT that time he had
seen forty-five years of service and
seventy-one years of life. He was
then placed on the retired list as a
Major General,
He is still hale and hearty and de-
lights in walks in the beautiful por-
ton of residential Washington, near
his home; but he is leading a quiet
life, and even the excitement of recall
ing the hard days of fighting is too
much for his strength. With him lives
his daughter, Miss Sarah Rucker.
Another daughter Mrs. Philip H.
Sheridan, widow of the hero of Win
chester, lives but a few blocks away,
where she can see the statue of her
husband that a grateful nation erected.
In all his years of service General
Rucker was never wounded. What is
more remarkable. in all the years of
service and hardship he was never
