1t is interesting occasionally to turn
back a few leaves in the history of
baseball and peer over the happenings
on tho diamond a few years back.
Twelve years ago., 1900, the Brooklyn
Nationals won the championship OF
the league. The average fan has for
gotten long since that Brooklyn ever
finished In the first division. In the
lineup Of the Brooklyn team that year
was Joe McGinnity, and he was the
best in the business that year. He not
only led the National League pitchers
but he practically carried the Brook
Ign team to the championship on his
owl shoulders.
At the close of the season the Pitts
burgh newspapers claimed that the
Pirates had been outlucked and should
have captured the flag instead Of fin
fishing a bang-up second to Brooklyn.
One Pittsburgh paper, the Chronicle.
offered a $500 silver loving cup to the
team which should win q post-season
series between Brooklyn and PittE-
burgh. The Chronicle wisely insiste.
that all of the games should be played
In Pittsburgh. which ave the Corsairs
a big advantage. The series was for
the best three out of four.
RUDE Waddell was the reliance of the
Pittsburgh team. and he met Joe Nc
Cinnity in the first contest and was
vanquished by a 3 to l score. The next
day the Brooklyns lost, but on the
third day McGinnity and Waddell
again came together. The Iron Man
defeated the RUDE Q to 0. The fourth
game vas won by the Brooklyns. CIV
ing them a decisive victory over the
Pirates, three games to one.
The Chronicle had not expected the
Brooklyn team to win and gave up the
cup. valued at $500, with reluctance.
The Brooklyn team then got together
and decided to give the trophy to Joe
McGinnity, who had lone more to win
the pennant and the series for Brook
lyn than any other individual player.
The only restriction was that Joe
should have a photograph taken with
his cup and each of the members Of the
club were to receive one Of the pic
lures. The accompanying cut shows

AMONG THE LOCAL HORSE DEALERS

While there a in the past ten days
been some Improvement in the weather
conditions, and those who work large
numbers of horses have had fewer ac-
cidents, which resulted in death, h
demand for workers Of all types con-
tinues to exceed the supply. Large
numbers of horses are being sold to
the suburban trade. where the heavy
going continues to handicap those who
have deliveries to make. Many small
merchants find it necessary to keep
three horses to do the work formerly
accomplished by two.
During the past week Julius Chaser
disposed of a large number OF first
class workers and reports the demand
for fancy drafters at his establishment
without precedent. He sold everything
Of this description he had to offer. He
is at this time showing an express load
| of attractive delivery horses, Weighing
from twelve to fourteen hundred
pounds, and wishes to call particular
| attention to these horses. They are far
better than an average lot. and will be
| disposed of, we'll worth the money.
On Saturday of this week Mr.. CHASER
will start on a ten-day trip to look
over the available material on the
Western feeding farms, and promises
to bring to this city an express load
| of the very best fancy draft types he
can buy. It is unnecessary to say that
this load will be the goods" as MIR.
Chaser is a critical buyer, and supplies
the demands of some of the strictest
metropolitan trade.
HtHI
At Hoy's.
Tom Hoy is showing a few more
horses than usual at this season of the
year. and among others he has a con-
signment from Fred Brill. In this lot
there will be found all shapes, colors
and sizes. and all are Of the usual
"Briil' quality, which would suggest
enough saidp to those who are at all
familiar with the class Of horses
shipped to this market by Mr.. Brill.
Several loads Of acclimated Pennsy1-
vania horses, ready for any kind of a
lob, are also being shown at the Bulls
Head stables, and, as usual, are a very
worthy lot. A number of second
handed mules will also be offered at
Fridays sale, and those in need OF
mules would do well to look this bunch
over.
Baneys' Stock.
AS usual, the Baneys are. showing
the very best the market affords in
every department. Early in the weei
two loads of fancy drafters reached
their Bridge street stables, and they

They weigh from fourteen to twenty
hundred pounds, and all are models o
their type. Many of these horses hat
been made ready for the market a

this time ready to go right into hard
work and thrive upon it.
doc" Foresman.
Last week Doc" Foresman took a
personally conducted tour through
the Middle West and rounded up a car
load of workers of various types that
he wishes to recommend to his patrons.
Among the lot are several matched
pairs weighing upward of 5000 pounds
and a number of delivery wagon horses,
which are as fine a lot of first -class
material as money a buy at this
time. Doc also has quite a number
of second-class horses that he has taken
in trade that will be disposed Of at
reasonable prices. These horses are
especially recommended to farmers. as
they will improve with country use
and are well able to do all the spring
work on a farm.

our first trees twenty years ago this
spring and have kept on planting to
some extent ever since. Our first

crops as the trees in any other part
