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

Statues Burnished,
The Barnard statues at the Capitol
have been fixed up spick and span for
the visitors this week and stand forth
stripped of the soot from Enola and
the dust of the eclty. 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.
