In that respect he te head nnd shoulders

closely together, his left leg slightly in the
lead. Tightly grasping his bat and he

Ansen's batting position and average
since the organization of the league are: In
1878, fifth, .a34; 1877, fourth, .9M; 1878,
Bfth, .830; 1870, first, .407; 1880, second. .838;

fourteen years' work of .336. The only man

ADRIAN C. AltSON.
I Although the subject of this sketch, by
reason of bis length ul service, and because
be has had such complete control of the
Chicago team. Is generally known as "Old
Man Ansen," he Is far from being an old
man. He was born thlrty-five years age,
in Marshalltown, Iowa. Hte baseball
career began with amateur nines of his
native city in 1809. He remained sn ama
teur until the end of the season of 1870.
Hisflrtit professional engagement was with
the Ferest Cltysef Hockterd, 111., in 1871.
Almest from the start Ansen was a brill
iant success as an all 'round player. lie
falned such a reputation while with the
breet Cltys that he was engaged iu 1873
by the Athletic club, of Philadelphia, Pa.,
which was at that time the champion or
ganization, and played with that niue
when "Dick" McBride was the Ideal
pitcher of the baseball world and "Fergy"
Malone hardly less celebrated as a catcher.
In 1875 he went te Europe with the Ath
letics, and there astonished some of the
Xngllsh cricketers by the way he handled
the willow. In the match with the "All
Ireland" eleven he made the highest indi
vidual score. In 1876 Ansen joined the
Chicago club.
As a fielder ".nse" te a little worse than
most of the first basemen in the league,
according te the record, but according te
the chances he grabs at he will take a back
eat for none of them. President Spalding
reposes Implicit confidence In the long
headed captain, and between them they
are a pair that has mere than once beaten
threes.
On the fteld Ansen, in spite of his "kick
ing" and hte bulldozing of umpires, which is
quite as notorious as that of Kwlng, and
oftentimes mere te the purpose, is univer
sally popular. Hte value as n player, rap
tain and manager cannot be overestimated,
as may readily be judged by the able way
in which he has, during the past three
years, brought his almost experimental
teams te the front. Hte methods are mere
of the driving than the persuasive kind,
and the rigor with which he holds plaj crs
up te their duty does net make him over ever
popular with them. And yet few men
who ever worked for Ansen have ether
feelings toward him than intense admira
tion and respect.
Iu private life Ansen is one of the most
interesting and pleasant companions ene
can ask for. He U a great talker. There
are four subjects en which he will nrgue
with anybedy: baseball, politics, billiards
nnd his trip around the world. He Is u
fine story teller and um spin yarns as long
us he can keep awake. He has been called
"the Hlder Haggard of baseball," ami se
far as the ability te tell uu Interesting nar
rative gees the iippelatieu Is correct.
Ansen has been the seurce of great in
spiration te baseball writers for a de
cade. He loves te talk te the scribes, and
nothing that is written about him worries
him iu the least se long us he te net lied
about. "I like It," he told the writer once.
"The mere they write about me the better
it is for the Chicago club and mj self.
"The mere advertising a ball player gets
the mero money he gets." Ansen Mldem
contradicts a yarn, and hence when ma
terial te scarce space men work off no end
of baseball fairy tale3 and attribute them
te the "Old Man."
Such, in brief, te Adrian C. Ansen. Hon
orable in all his dealings, conscientious in
his duty te his employers, always affable,
a man of Integrity and grit hte word te
hte bend aud he fears nothing a power
mentally, although net favored by the pol
ish of education, and phjsically a giant.
Unless he cheeses te retire voluntarily
this remarkable snan te surely geed for
five mere seasons of active work.

Jack McMasUrs Is a man who te as widely

ness of a trainer cf athletes. The first man
he trained was James Nuttall, of Manches-

trained Nuttall for hte race with a Ridley,
of Gateshead, te run l,uuuyar& for the
championship and 11,000. Nuttall waa
again successful, winning by a yard. He
then trained successively Charles Wright,
James McLeaTey, Yates, Hlndle and Geerge
Parry.
In 1879 McMasters left England in quest
of a wider and mere profitable field for hte
talents In the United States, landing in
New Yerk In September of thst year. His
ftrst engagement In the United States waa
te prepare V Barne of Manayunk, Pa.,
for a match with Tomllnten, of Frankfort,
Barnes wen the nice by three yard. Sub
sequently he trained Lee, of tb University
of Pennsylvania, nnd also filled the position
of trainer for the Brooklyn Athletic club.
He remained with that club for a year.
During the next four years he trained some

A SKILLFUL PITCHER.
Mark Baldwin, Who Tosses the Ball tat
the Chicago Players' League Club.
Mark Baldwin, the crack twlrleref- the
Chicago club, of the Players' league, te
one of the ablest pitchers in the profession.
He te of splendid physical development,
standing ever 0 feet in height and weigh
about 100 pounds. His professional career
began with his engagement with the Cum
berland (Md.) club, In 1883. In 1883 he
Joined the McKeesport club, and assisted it
te win the championship of the Western
Pennsylvania league.
During the season of 1886 he did great
work for the Duluth club, of the North
western league. That season he pitched
in forty-eno games, being eight mere than
any pitcher of that league.
MARK BALDWIN.
The Chlcages next secured hte services,
and he mero than fulfilled their expecta
tions throughout the seasons of '87 and
'68. Hte most remarkable pitching per
formance was the retiring of the Pitts
burg team with only one sofe hit en Sept.
S3 of the former year.
Baldwin was ene of the party which
made, the trip te Australia and Kurope
during the winter of 1888-'89. Upen the
return of the tourists Ansen made the
biggest mlstake of hte life. He released
Mark, thinking he had lest hte former ef
fectiveness in the box. Manager Buckcn
burger, of the Columbus Club, shortly
afterward signed him, and thus showed
geed judgment, for Baldwin mere than
equalled his previous record, twice holding
the Brooklyn! and ence each the St. Leuis
and Athletics down te two hits in a
championship game.

held September, 1899. As usual, a short
man wen the one mile walk; but C. I

whose picture is shown here, and who
stands ever six feet in walking shoes, cap
turcd the three mile event and became the
champion, by which title he will be known
until next September, when he will hart

oil's physique can readily be seen, but if
Burckhanlt, who wen the shorter event,
were placed beside the three mile cham
pion he vt euld appear like a boy, although
in weight he would held his own very well.
His height te only about 5 feet 4 Inches,
nnd hte weight In condition about 180
pounds. Nlcell te of the same weight.
Nlcell mode his appearance en the track
during the year 1885. He took part in
many amateur walking races of all dis
tances in the vicinity of New Yerk city and
met with success. He seen developed a
geed style of locomotion, and at the end of
aeveral years he was ranked among the
best. He competed in the championship
games in 1887, but did net win. In 1888 he
took part in the American fixture again,
but was defeated. But he went te Mon
treal n few weeks later en hte club's team
and captured the three mlle event in great
style, doing 22 mln. 44 3-5 sec., which was
the fastest time made there since 1688,
when F. P. Murray did 23 mln. 13 sec
The season of 1880 opened well for him,
for he wen a large number of handicap
races, generally from scratch, in games
around New Yerk and Philadelphia. In
the fall of lest year he captured the three
mlle championship walk of both America
and Canada. The American fixture waa
held two weeks in advance of the Cana
dian, nnd Nlcell vanquished hte antag
onists In the first fixture se easily that the
Canadian event was considered almost a
sure thing for him. He wen the American
championship In 23 mln. 33 2-5 sec. The
track was very heavy owing te incessant
rain for almost a week, and the time does
net leek extra fast en paper. It waa a
most meritorious performance, and the
fact of his winning the Canadian fixture,
where the track was geed, in 22 mln. 41 3-5
sec., proved that the speed which ha had
shown the previous year was still in him.
His only noteworthy performance since
then te his taking second place in the four
mile scratch walk at the indoor games in
Bosten, Mass., last April. He attributes
hte defeat partly In this contest te the fact
that the Judge of walking was unfriendly
te him, ami spoke te him about his style of
locomotion during the race, which made
him Io.he a Uttle confidence in hte ability te
show speed. Senus judges consider hte
style perfectly fair, while there are several
who de net think se.
Hte build te very unusual and he te de
cidedly thin. He has no tendency te ac
cumulate flesh, and although he has a
geed depth of chest his waist te unnatur
ally small. He measures there only 29
inches, and that for n man six feet high te
most unusual. He steps out with a long,
free stride, and when feeling well his style
of moving impresses the majority favor

THE FAMOU8 PONY EXPRESS.
One of Ita Originators Still Alive The
Weudarful Werk Dene.
A rusty old sign Inscribed "Russell,
Majers & Weddell" can still be seen en
a building at the corner of Shawnee and
Main streets, Leavenworth, Kan. It
formerly marked, the business headquar
ter?! of n firm once famous throughout the
west, and of whicrt but one member is
left allve Cel. Alexander Majers, new
living at Kansas City. r
Thirty-one years nge Russell, Majers
fc Waddell did the blggeat business of
any freighters operating between the
Mississippi and the Pacific coast. "Duke"
CJwynn, then a
United States
senator from Cal
ifornia, thought
his constituents
deserved a better
mail service than
that afforded by
the regular coach
route, and there
Vipnnin (nin tit
s mind the idea of
n pony express.
COL. AIXT. JLAJOK8. A" wiscacrua ni
Washington dis
mi&bcd the preposition with a sneer, but
the Leavenworth freighting firm thought
the plan feasible and aided "Duke"
Gwynn in getting for it official recogni
tion and government aid.
Cel. Majers still delights te recall thew
"brave days of old" when the hardy
little ponies of the plains made nearly
railroad tlme between 8t. Jeseph and
Bacrainente. -The pest houses were ten
miles upart, And as a messenger dashed
up te ene of these he jnmped from the
back of his panting steed, bestrode an
other fresh and impatient for the race
and was off again. Five seconds only
were allowed for n change of mounts.
But a single order was given te messen
gers "Ride and step for nothing." Be
despite stenri and darkness they hastened
en, occiiMiennlly "currying nt full speed
through Ij.iiiiIh of hontile Indians, with a
revolver crack te the right, auother te
f he left, a duck of the head te the pony's
neck te escape the whistling arrows, but
never ft swerve in the onward rush to
ward the destined goal. The riders get
100 u month each in geld and the com
pany received fi for every letter sent
ever the iwny route. "The most note
worthy piece of work performed," re
marked Cel. Majers the ether day, "was
in the delivering of one of President
Buchanan's uicsaagcs in a few hours
ever eight days. The tnessage was re
ceived in St. Jeseph by wire, immediate
ly plated upon Ifght manifold psjwr and
given te the meenger. The pony was
off like the wind. Forty of tlie little
fellows were reauired te de,tti work

But the telegraph came seen," he added '
nadly, "and that broke the peayl back.
Later (he railroads came and we had te
top enr wagons and close up ear bati
ness."
Cel. Majers, although new erer 70
years of nge, is nearly as able and active
as in his prime.

ScrefUla in Children.
"In the early part of 1887 scrofula appeared
en the head of my Uttle grandchild, then only
IS mentlM old. Hberlly after breaking out it
spread rapidly all ever her body. The scabs
en the sores would vn efT en the slightest
touch, and the odor that would arise would
make the atmesphere of the room sickening
and unbearable. The disease m xt attacked tbe
eyes and we feared she would lese her sight.
Eminent physicians of the country were con
sulted, but could de nothing te relieve the Utile
Innocent, and gave It as their opinion, 'that
the case was hopeless and Impossible te saye
the child's eyesight,' It was then that we de
cided te try twin's Spoctne (H. H. H.) That med med
Irlne at once made a speedy and complete cure.
