baseball, now comes to the front with
the opinion that joe Birmingham, man.

up the turf again. Jones has made his
decision to abandon the game forever.
Jones is the best miller in the country,
# not in the world to-day, and is one
of tGie few scattered men who stand in
way Of breaking Georges record for
the run. When Jones completes his
