Just now some energetic person is
busy compiling a list Of fatalities due
TO baseball" Twenty-one names and
addresses were dug from somewhere
and compiled into a dictionary of those
who had met death because OF the
national pastime. After duly record
ing the terrible mortality rate of base
ball, IL Is asserted largely that foot
ball is not dangerous. OF course, no
body's going to squawk If the autumn
game is boosted where il Is weak, but
what's the use of Juggling facts JUS
to make story?
The list of q deaths "due to base
ball. contains the names Of a man
who was hit by foul, but wasn't play
ing; OF two who dropped dead from
heart failure when merely serving In
the capacity OF spectators; Of a child
who wandered too close 70 an open
lot and was struck by a passed ball;
and of three Negroes down In
Georgia, pursued and shot after a riot
at an amateur game.
Cutting out these reduces the total
deaths by eight, leaving 10 who died
while actually engaged In baseball. IN
asmuch as baseball is played from one
end OF the United States 10 the other,
the percentage of fatalities is so small
you cannot see IL with the naked eye.
Amateur baseball isn't very strong In

NEW YORK DISTRIBUTES
$4,000 To THE BLIND
Each of 1862 Pensioners Is Given
$48 from City ...,.4
Funds

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-For the
thirty-fifth time Father Knickerbocker
showed his generosity by distributing
money to New York's sightless men
and women who are practically friend
less.
This year $4,000 was set aside by the
city, and there were 1862 applications
from all the boroughs. So the stipend
for each person was fixed at $48.
"It doesn't seem much," said George
w. Meeks, superintendent of the bu
reau of dependent adults of the char
tiles department, "but 1t is $4 month,
and it pays the room rent of those who
choose to use the money judiciously"
Three hundred of the GIG of the ap-
plicants from Manhattan and the
Bronx were told to appear at the char
tiles department dock at the foot of
East Twenty-sixth street yesterday
morning, and half of them were on
hand at o'clock a. m.
Some had hung around all night.
None arrived later than o'clock.
All ages and conditions were repre-
sented in the line that was formed.
Many old women had been led by their
relatives. Children tugged at the coat
sleeves of old men, urging them to keep
close behind those in front of them.
Its a long time since I saw you,
MT. Meeks," said one old man to the
latter stood by giving directions.
That's a fine looking hat you have
on" another remarked to man in
front Of him.
1t was almost noon before the city
paymasters arrived with the money,
all in bills. Then began discussion
over their valuation.
"Did you get it in ones or fives?"
an old woman asked of the first man
sin line as he reached for his handful
of wealth and then started to walk
away, exclaiming: God bless you.
The old man had been told that he had
$4S. In q jiffy he counted twelve bills
with his fingers.
i've got nine fives and three ones,
Mary" he answered Immediately.
It took two hours to pay all the men
and women on hand.
For the last three years the annual
disbursements have been made at the
city paymasters office in Reade
street, off Broadway. The payments
which were started in 1875, were made
for wears at the foot of East Twenty
sixth street, but three years ago 1T was
thought best to change to Reade street
because of the many saloons In the
vicinity of East Twenty-siXth street.
Experience showed, however, that
there were quite as many drinking
places in the lower part OF the city.
The saloonkeepers along F1rst ave-
me did a good business, but there were
many unfortunates wise enough to tuck
their money away and go home with II.
