New York. August 24.-(special) Col Lester Shower is the name of a tall. husky southpaw. who has left the marine corps to enlist under the banner of lawn McGraw, out at the Polo Grounds. The left flank of Snover's 8 highly martial name is not title. it's his real name.
 In military rank Shower never climbed higher than private. but among marine fans he was rated at the top of the list of service pitchers. For year before his discharge from the corps he kept his left wing in condition by heaving z coal into the furnace of Brooklyn ma rine barracks. where hewas post fire man. Between tricks with the scoop he pitched for the Brooklyn marine team.
 Jack Murray of Elmira brought Shower to the attention of McGraw who is giving him chance to show his stuff at the Polo Grounds. Giants who have faced him in batting practice say he stacks up very we'll indeed Before he enlisted in the marine corps Shower was with the Elmira club of the New York State league

They have a club of eight ladies and l was only too glad to fill in, as one of the ladies had left the city and they wanted me to come and you know I just dote on auction.
 Tt was a nice house and the other six ladies were as nice as could be, but none of them played a good game.
 'When we had cut for partners the hostess gave each one if us a stack of poker chips and when I asked what they were for they told me that we would settle up after each rubber and then change partners. I did not think for a moment the chips had any real value, so I took them and began to play.
