Owner of Des Moines Base Ball
Team is Enlightened.
GETS AN OPINION AT FIRST HAND
while q Stranger Pronounces
Him Gambler and
Other Things.

The following story Is told on Frank
Isbell, present part owner OF the Des
Moines team. II happened recently when
lszy and his bunch were on their way
to the southland.
Secretary Mcsiulien OF the wichita club
says: Il didn't pay much attention TO
what they were saying for quite a little
bit. but after while heard the visitor
saying things about that - Frank Is
belr.' and then l began TO listen. The
fan was lining IEzy up as several kinds of
a reprobate and horsethief. and Old Ixzy
was siding In with him In everything he
said. even going a little stronger most
OF the time.
Most ungrateful man I ever knew
anywhere declared the fan. Made all
his money here in Wichita and then
pulled up and went Off somewhere else
to spend it.
"'ies. reckon that's right" said Is
bell He probably didn't have a dime
when he came here. Probably never any
thing much IN the big league, even II he
was up there sixteen years or So
mo i reckon not. He probably was q
mighty cheap player up there. anyhow,
and suppose he blew in his money about
as fast as he made Il. understand he
is an awful gambler and rounder.'
Regular bug. / guess chimed in
Izzy.
Pretty soon the conversation waned
and after bit the fan wandered out.
