"One Saturday afternoon young
Moody was dispatched to make a col
lection from an establishment whose
credit was under suspicion. AVhlle on
the train lie discovered that the rep
resentative of another firm, toi whom
the same store was deeply Indebted,
was hastening to the sime place on
the same mWslon." nays William B.
Moody, writing of his father, Dwlght
L. Moody, In a series of articles in the
S.itutday evening Post.
"A continuous tide to the town would
break Into Sunday, and It was one of
Mr. Moody's principles not to trawl
on the Sabbath. It was necessary for
him, therefore, to spend Sunday tit
some point and resume his Journey
early Monday morning. The other col
lector did not have such scruples, but
planned to proceed, arrive on Sunday
morning, and thus secure his claim the
first thing on Monday morning, which
would probably have shut out Mr.
Moody's firm. However, where prin
ciple was Involved Mr. Moody never
hesitated, and yet his business pride
was at stake and It was rather hard
for him to see the other man win.
Consequently he determined to do
what he could, legitimately, to get
even chances. It was In the early
days of railway travel and changes
were frequent; so at one of those
changes Mr. Moody nnd his rival
took a walk, and Mr, Moody engrossed
him o In conversation that ho missed
his train, nnd thus both men got to
the town at the same time on Mon
day.' '

Manager Burnham's Men Lined Up
Against the Indians.
The practice at Athletic park yes
terday of the Scranton base ball team
wtis marked by the presence on the
tli Id of Comedian Louis Mann, his
manager, F. M. Mayer, and Stage
.Manager George W. Barnum, of the
"Chi In the Uarracks" company,
which last night appeared at the Ly
ceum theater. Mr. Rarnum Is an ex
National league umpire and for many
year" was a conspicuous figure on the
diamond.
Yesterday's game was a match be
tween the regulars and Charley Zang'a
Indians. The Scranton team hit the
ball at will and also fielded well, while
the unfortunate Indians gave an ex
hibition which was wild and wonder
ful. Mr. Mann, in common with Do Wolf
Hopper, Dlgby Bell, Jefferson De An
gells and other well-known comedians,
Is an ardent lover of base ball, and
he Journeyed out to the park expect
ing to see a real game.
As he watched the Indians rolling
up error after en or, falling all over
themselves In their efforts to get after
the ba'l, he marvelled. "Say," he re
marked, "this Is wondeiful, the most
wonderful exhibition I ever saw," Just
then the right fielder went through a
series of gymnastic movements, In at
tempting to get under a fly which
eventually dropped about twenty feet
over his head, und Mr. Mann con
tinued: "I'd like to go cut there and
i shako tnose fellows by the hand and
thank their.. I've never seen anything
like this In my ltf'j. Indeed, 'It Is to
laugh.'
"This game," he remarked suddenly,
"reminds me of the one given at New
York by eighteen actors, for the bene
fit of the New York Herald Free Ice
fund. Each playji was attired as
some character of the stage and you
can imagine the result. I was fixed
up as Svengall. and played In the In
field, That was a game! When a
man reached first base nothing on
earth could take him off It. He would
merely lie down and rest there till
the members of both teams would
come In and beg him to leave the bag.
In this way a comedy was enacted
every minute throughout the entire
game. Hut It wasn't nearly as funny
as this match is."
Mr. Barniim found several old basa
ball acquaintances on the field, and
Immediately singled out "Old Boy"
Shefller. and Indulged In a series of
base ball lemlnlscences with the vete
ran. Mr. Barnum spoke In high terms
of several members 'of the team, and
thought that the men were a fast,
gingery crowd of players. .The? teams
lined up as follows:
Set anton Ferguson, left field; J. J
O'Brien, short-stop; Sheffler, right
Held; Knox, center field; Mclntyre,
lirst-brtbe; Poherty, thlrd-bascj P.
O'Brien, second-base; Toft, catcher;
Miller, Kerwln, pitcher.
I n d 1 a n s Malott, second-base;
O'Hara, thlrd-baso: Flnnerty, catcher:
Hang, tirst-base; Stollworthy, short
stop, Davl.s, center Held; Sheedv left
Held: F. McVlttle, pitcher; M. McVlt
tie. tight, field.
Stollworthy, Manager Burnham's
utility man, played short-stop for the
Indiana and put up a strong game,
Knox made several pretty catches In
center field for the regulars, and the
entire team batted and ran the bases
well.

The pool.s wle operations for a rlc were inttl

their operations tho seme extent. This was
notably true of the Gould Southwestern gioup
which are subjetts of teeming rumors of pros

growing uneasiness amens the rather unwieldv
