And Vicinity

In one of our town offices the
other day the follwing question
was put to one of our business
men: "What, in your opinion, is
good base ball player in town of
say this size'? The business gem
tleman leaned back IN his chair and
looked across the unsettled part of
the town and replied, thoughtfully,
that his idea of an ideal base ball
player for any small town, was an
energetic, pleasant turned full of
life, young man who went IN for
the best game he couldget up. Who
was game loser and took success
with weeks case of swe l.
ed head. A gentleman as regards
his language and general manners
whose language was inofensive and
whose playing was of the old fash
Toned klnd-good, honest faithful
sport. 10 make this character of
player for small town, this busi-
ness gentleman thought it took
young fellow that had energy enough
TO have a regular job at some hon
est vocation, and enough honor and
stamina of manhood to act a gentle
man in the presence Of ladies, and
above all young fellow that wore
the baseball suit when playing base
ball on the d lam o n d. We
thought t h is mans idea good
enOngh to repeat and we believe
he is about right.
