Story of Old Baseball DAYS

enough vigorous protests were made,
but without avail.
Again. in his proper order, the
youngster stood at the home plate.
But this time, instead of holding the
club rigidly in front of him, he
tossed it at the ball Just before it
was over the plate. That swerved the
ball so that it rolled rather slowly to-
wards third base. He will get to
first base before the third baseman

ley confidently. And the youngster

| looked at Mr. Buckley in wonder:
in all my baseball days I had never
seen anything like the batting Of this
lad. Mr.. Bulkeley smiled enthusiast
tically. They call that a bunt," he
said. Some baseball players think
that 1t is all right. Some insist that
it isn't fair. 1t is an entirely new
freak in baseball and this boy has in
vented it. His name is Barlow"
In these days when the scientific
bunt is one of the important features
of the national game, 1t Is probable
that Morgan G. Buckley, senior sem
ator from Connecticut, when things
grow little dull in the senate cham
Der, recalls with a considerable de-
gree of satisfaction that 1t was with
his first Hartford baseball nine that
little William Barlow demonstrated
fully the value of the bunt in baseball
to the player who knows how to emu
ploy 1t skillfully. This Barlow did in
less thin one season, for serious ilk
ness did not permit him to play long
with the Hartfords. Yet in the short
while that he was with the team he
taught the secret of the bunt to his
teammates, and 1t was one af the
tricks that speedily made the Hart
ford club one of the country's best for
a few years.

A SYMPOSIUM OF SALADS.

Salads are always acceptable, espe
cially during the hot summer weather
when meats are too heavy for the
tagging appetite.
AS a dessert there is nothing more
appetizing than a simple fruit salad
and how much easier to prepare than
the indigestible pastries that SO many
seem to think indispensable.
What could be daintier and more
appetizing than this: Arrange six or
more large Strawberries In g nest OF
head lettuce Chill and serve with
French dressing.
Plain Salad.
Put few slices of tomatoes on let
tuce leaves, sprinkle with chopped
onion and serve with French dressing
Madison Salad. ..
Chop four large cucumbers, one
small onion and two tablespoonfuls Of
parsley, mix we'll with mayonnaise OF
French dressing and stuff tomatoes
with the mixture.
Cheese Salad.
Add tablespoonful of thick cream
a few chopped chives, a chopped
green pepper and a Sozen blanched
almonds chopped, to a cake of cream
cheese, mix we'll and make into little
balls, roll In shredded lettuce and
serve in lettuce nests with French
dressing.
Lyman Salad.
Select long green peppers, cut in
halves lengthwise, remove the seeds

celery and apple as grapefruit and
allowing three nut meats to each case.

Senator BuIkeIey's Discovery OF Little
William Barlow, Who First DEM

the Value OF Blunt.

One day, In the early spring of 1874
when Morgan G. Buckley, now SEN
ator from Connecticut, was backing
almost single-handed the Hartford
Comm baseball nine, which two
years later just missed winning the
championship, being only two games
behind the Chicagos, he took me to
see a game between the Hartfords
and a semi-professional club. We sat
in the scorers box.

though he is very good in that posi-
ton. But when he comes to bat don't
take your eyes off of him."
Pretty soon the youngster in ques-

inches over five feet. came to bat.
Now" cautioned Mr.. Buckley

The boy stod at the plate. with the

Thus holding the bat, he let the ball
hit 1t squarely after one or two balls
had been pitched. Immediately the
ball dropped. jumped in front of the
home plate, and Barlow was within
safe striking distance of first base
before the pitcher could recover the
ball.

When Washington Cried

how he was affected. and found him
trying to relieve the situation by ap-
pearing to be busy arranging some pa
pers that had been spread before him
prior to General Washington's en-
trance. Then, as suddenly as he had
broken down, General Washington re-
gained his composure. and went on to
say that If Mr.. Morris could find with
in twenty-four hours sufficient money
to pay each man in the army little
Of what was due him, this payment
would do much to revive the army's

accomplished. there was little doubt

tice, but that he would do the best he
could, adding that he did not feel JUS
titled in encouraging any hope in Gen
eral Washington's breast that the
money could be secured.
General Washington's reply was
simple. Il know that you will do all
you can-as you have done already"
he said. Then he took Mr.. Morris
hand, held 1t for a moment, and went
away without again speaking.
"T never knew whether Mr.. Morris
secured the money or not Mr.. Brown
added I do know that he went out of
the office Immediately after General
Washington had departed. Two days
later, think 1t was. the Battle of
Brandywine was fought. General
Washington was defeated, and the
British occupied Philadelphia. Maybe
1t was all because Mr.. Morris was not
able to get for General Washington
the little money that he needed so
badly for his soldiers. But l cannot

MUCH DELAYED WAR REPORT
Gen. Dan Macauley of Indiana Relates,
Humorous Incident That Orig
mated In '64.

The following anecdote as related
fords striking illustration Of the
humorous turn that often concludes a
situation originally tragic The begin
ming OF the story takes us back to
those stirring events of 1864 which
had the Shenandoah Valley as the the
alter of action. Back and forth across
that narrow stage with it's picturesque
setting strove those real-life heroes,
Sheridan and Early, in the most dra-
matte, momentous duel of the war.
In this prolonged contest courage and,
determination were we'll matched.
while rare technical skill availed itself
of every possible advantage to force a.
final issue.
That last stroke of Early's, the sur
prise of the Union forces In the morn
ing hours of the nineteenth of October,
was so we'll conceived and so brilliant
ly executed 1t almost deserved sue
cess.
The night before the battle, General
Wright, then in command owing to
Sheridan's temporary absence, or
dered a reconnaissance to be made by
one of his brigades. On its return 1t
reported no enemy in sight, and this
added greatly to the sense of security
that prevailed among the union troops,
for it was generally believed that
Early had left the valley for good,
discouraged by his recent defeats.
General Macauley at this time was
attached to Crooks corps as a brigade
commander and stationed on the ex-
IRENE left, the late President Hayes
holding a similar position In the same
corps.

the noise Of light firing. While 1t at

1t as picket firing only and of no con-

some moments longer a group Of off,

sible meaning, none of us, however,

General Broke Down, Fearing He
Would Lose the Battle of the
6randywine Unless Discour-
aged Soldiers Were Paid.

A year or so before the venerable
c. c. Clarke, now In his eighty-eighth
year. retired, in 1900, as vice-president
of the New York Central railroad. he
called me into his office and pointed to
a paragraph in a newspaper contain
ing some reference to Robert Morris,
the financier OF the American revolu-
ton.
In the late thirties when l went to
college in Geneva. n. Y" said Mr..
Clarke, Il made the acquaintance of
man of the name of Brown. who had
for years been postmaster OF the vii

been a clerk in the office of Robert
Morris at the time when he was ex-
hausting his fortune in behalf of the

his anecdotes of the great financier.
And then. one day, my aged friend
told ME this story of Robert Morris
and George Washington. which | have

lone afternoon. shortly before the
Battle of the Brandywine. which took
place in the fall of IL said Mr..
Brown. General Washington, unat-
tended. came to Mr.. Morris office. He
seemed to be in great anxiety. and he
fastened TO explain to Mr.. Morris that
unless he could have some money
with which TO make at least partial
payment TO his soldiers. he did not be-
lieve that 1t would be possible for him
TO gain victory in the approaching
battle. The soldiers. he said. had been
many months without pay. They had
endured many hardships. Their priva-
lions, their dire need of money had
I'm a measure demoralized and dis
couraged them.
And right here, and all of sud

Then, in effect, Mr.. Bowers told them
that he had that day had such an I'M
happy experience in court he had de-
cided to abandon forever the profess

court, he said, to ask that a long
pending matter be decided by the

the decision should be made, that the
accounts in question might be settled
