A Family Of Ball Players.

Rivaling the famous Kentucky Gillian
family baseball team is the team that
represents the thriving Maryland town
of Barton. for here, too, all the players
are brothers. and the aggregation is
managed by the father of the nine,
william ]. Metz. For several years,
ever since the youngest member,
Charles r., was able to handle a bat
and throw a ball across diamond, the
Metz boys have been playing together,
and with such success that they have
cleaned up mines from rival towns in
their vicinity with unbroken success.
Henry, the pitcher, has twirled with
such ability that he has been approach
ed by scouts for professional clubs; but.
like the rest of the family, he plays
ball because he enjoys the sport, and
he has rejected all offers to figure in
swifter company.

Wood himself comedies that Johnson
has something on him. He points TO
