VON DER AHE STORIES Had Comical Views on Matters Pertaining to Baseball. Gave Kid Gleason $50 for Telling on Himself and Then Fined $100 for Knocking Off President's New Silk Hat. Stories concerning the late Chris Von der Ahe, former owner of the old St. Louis Browns, who died re cently, are now making the rounds, Kid Gleason, now assistant man ager of the White Sox, is responsible for these Chris Von der Ahe stories: The browns had a parade of players and officials one opening day and Von der Ahe appeared wearing a huge and shining silk hat. As the procession wound its way in front of the stands Von der Ahe repeatedly lifted his tile and bowed. And so it happened that when Gleason was passing a boy who was selling popcorn balls he a couple and let fly at Chris, knock- ing the silk lid from his head Chris was irate.

He is one of the twirlers who consider it disgrace. ful to be yanked from the slab and he would rather miss his meals for two days than have that happen. Plerce has a sort of flery temper while pitching and when a club makes a run or a few hits off him he grits his teeth and strains himself all the more. Evers has several men on his team on the order of Plerce. They are Smith, Cheney, Overall and Humph- ries. They are often scored on after men get on the bases, but they display their caliber by putting everything they have on their curves when men are on third and second bases, Batters are required to have as much nerve and fighting spirit as the piteheras Often they will have balls Russell Ford. cess, in the way of winning with it, than anyone else i had more break, and more peculiar | break, than that of either of these two great masters one great year with it, that he did.” 5 SATA AO American Baseball in Cleveland, Phillies, has started suit for $5.000 damages from Monte Cross, the form- er Athletic player, and George More Lland of Pittsburgh, former president of the Ohio and Pennsylvania league.

In fact, some of the figures are as beautiful as when they came from Paris. The scouring process is with materials which do not harm the marble and the stone is washed with brushes and then dried as carefully as the marble wainscot- ing inside of the building. This feature of the capitol is the most attractive one to visitors, who wever fall to praise them. i.
