For many years it hung In. Nick Jake's place, and was later acquired by A. J.

Alford, of 340 West Jefferson street, who loaned it for reproduction. The picture was never before printed in a newspaper, and very few persons had any idea such ABOVE is a half-tone reproduction of what is probably the most valuable baseball photograph In the world. It was taken in 1S77, and contains the pictures of the Louisville players who sold out to gamblers and prevented the local club from winning- the pennant In the National League from Boston. The players on whom the guilt was fastened were Devlin, Hall, Craven and Nichols. Catcher Snyder was also under suspicion for a time, but it was not proven that he was bribed to "throw" the games to Boston.

The players, it was alleged, were paid considerable money by Detroit gamblers to lose enough games to keep Louisville from winning the pennant. The team left Louisville with only fourteen games to play, and two victories out of this number would have given Louisville the pennant The gamblers tet a considerable amount of money that Boston and net Louisville would win the flag and won their money, as the Louisville team won but one game on the trip. Detectives were put on the case and the facts were made known. The players were blacklisted forever, and none of those against whom this action was taken has since played professional baseball. 87 156 17 18 xnomas, 471 Sheck'd, 514 Keister, 99 400 Steinfeldt, Cin.

While it is possible to turn out some good individual plav-ers on a green team, it is next to impossible to turn out a winning team. Cutts is working hard with his men and deserves success, but he will probably have to wait another year to be heard from in the championship line. Purdue's chances for a fast eleven are brighter than many of the other schools, and the jrnmes rlaved so far this season.

Among the number is a colt by The Commoner and a. colt by King Eric, which O'Brien regardj as very promising material for future t. year-old stake winners. The latter trainer has taken up eight head of II.

M. Ziegler's yearlings shipped from the East by Trainer Charles Hughes, and O'Brien expresses the belief that he has in this collection a black colt by the dead Imp. Esher which can beat any yearling coif, now In training here. A number of Ziegler's yearlings are thla year being broken in the East by Hughes, but the Cincinnati turfman by no means invested as heavily in colts and Allies this season as ho did in 1902. If the present crop produces no better results than the stable scored this season, next year the theatrical manager says, he will be In the 25 0 2 104 10 16 22 2 0 54 5 9 96 6 9 126 10 6 46 6 10 the Pittsburg team, gets all the honors in sight Hans swatted them out for a percentage of .860, and though Bill Kennedy, also of Pittsburg, is a few pegs ab'ove him in the figures, there Is no comparison between their work, for Hans played 129 games, and Kennedy but eighteen, and some of those only portions of games.

Fred Clarke, likewise of Pittsburg, ranks next to Wagner, and then, comes Mike Donlin, who batted furiously during the last few games and shot up like a weed in the percentage, column. Chance, Seymour -and JBresnahan come next In order. During the season twenty-six men batted .300 or better, one of the number Mc-Creedie being released, thus leaving twenty-five sluggers who were able to hold their own through the campaign. Pittsburg leads in team batting and in long distance hitting, while the Reds finished second and Chicago third'. The chief base runner of the year was Frank Chance, of the Chicago club.

Warner leads the catchers in fielding and Kennedy the pitchers. McGann tops the first basemen, while Ritchey gets the 11 63 16 28 37 63 23 61 61 36 17 SECOND BASEMEN.

Joe mhjht 1111 Patsy Donovan's shoes If the latter resigns, as he Is well known to "St. Louis fans, and has had experience in the line of managing- a club. Quinn's baseball experience Is unique In many ways. He is the only known mem-, ber of the profession born In possibly the only one, and still holds the record for having the highest release price ever paid for a minor league player the sum of and even in the day of war, just passed; it was not exceeded. His major league career began In 1888, and he went back to manage the Des Moines team In 1802 as good a player as when he entered fast company, Quinn Is one of the players who has made good use of his time, and he is so well fixed that he can retire to a comfortable business at any time.

Quinn picked up his first knowledge of baseball while working in a coal mine at Dubuque, When he left Des Moines he came to St. Louis and Joined the old Maroons. He made good from the start, and has made good many times since, as player, captain and manager of major and minor league teams. Quhin was a hard worker, and even when he was with the Maroons he took a course of study and invested his surplus capital in St. Louis real estate.

Then ho became Interested in an undertaking establishment with his father, and he began studying embalming finally getting a certificate from the Missoul Board of Embalming. While Quinn was getting ready to pass his examination he employed his time while on the road fn the mornings and between times visiting hospitals, morgues and undertaking establishments. While he gained much valuable knowledge in this way, he also got a lot of chafllng from the players about his peculiar pursuit. After Quinn started in to learn his profession nearly every writer in the country had a try at malting Jokes at his expense, and the Des Moines team was known as the "Undertakers." Quinn, however, has the last laugh coming now. As a ball player of the better class he is a good example for some of those who are now in the heyday of their success, without a thought of the future.

Link Lowe is part owner of the leading hotel at Beaver Dam, and to come closer home, Jlmmie M'cAleer is a partner in. the loading haberdashery at Yoiingstown, O. Charlie Comiskey, Tom Loftus, Ed Han-Ion and Connie Mack are other present-day managers who have risen from the ranks. Mike Griffin is connected with a brewery, and Danny Richardson Is a druggist. Patsy Donovan also owns an interest in a drug store and is a manager, although he Is still in the game, and cannot, therefore, be counted amongst the graduates from the profession.

T. H. M-urnane. of the Boston Globe; Sam Crane, of the New York Journal, are newspaper men who were former baseball players. "Uncle" Nick Young passed through every stage of baseball from player to president, with the exception of owner.

Joe Quirin is back in St. Louis after a rather strenuous time of It at Des Moines, where he managed the team during the Just getting into shape for the hard games of the season. An especial Interest Is being taken in the game throughout the West this year, on account of the even manner in which the tt-ams are divided. Of course, at this time stories of hard luck come from every coach, Stagg, Yost, Kilpatriclr, CuUs, Mc-Connack and Woodford. Last year Stagg was handicapped by having to develop a new team, nearly all of his men being green.

This year, however, "The Wizard of the Midway" has an eleven of veterans handle, and the way that are coming along 37 1 5S 5 113 18 23 1 92 13 23 1 103 12 76 11 SI 2 115 14 .239 .238 .237 .236 .226 .236 .235 plays against Eckersall, of Chicago University. The Maroon star was suspended late In August, by the union on the charge of having played semi-professional bail, so called, and as he could not play with a high school team he entered Chicago University, though lie had another vear to fill at Hyde Park. When Stagg got ready to play the first game of the season. liginger sent out his warning, but it had no effect on "the old man," as his boys affectionately call him, and he played Eckersall. Since" that time Engiewood and North Division High Schools, of Chicago; Lombard, Lawrence and several other minor colleges have played the Maroons.

While Liginger seems determined to carry out his threat, other members of the union have been attempting to 'smooth the matter over and ailow it to hung fire until the annual meeting of the A. A. which takes place at New York the middle of next month. The worst iart of the whole matter is the seemingly honest earnestness of Liginger to promote pure amateurism, but a.tr the same time he fails to recognize the fact that the A. A.

U. has absolutely no control over the conference of intercollegiate associations, and the union has more than once refused to have anything to do with college matters, believing that they know what is best for them. Should the colleges that played against Eckersall be suspended, it would mean the cutting off of the entire West or Central Aiociation from the A. A. for team after, team plays against Chicago, and then team? play other teams, so that an endless chain would be formed, the result being suspended athletics in even' High School and college in the West.

It can be safely stated, however, that the matter will remain as it is at present, until the annual meeting of the A. A. when it will be disposed of once and for all time, and warning will be sent out to men who play on summer teams, stating that they leave themselves liable to suspension by so doing. -3- SAVAGE OBJECTS TO PRINCE ALERT'S RECORD. market for tried racers only.

Fortunately, however, Stagg has had but few injuries among his men, and they will probably be in good shape when they play their first hard game with Northwestern October 17.

As a quarterback, Eckersall has the famous Charley Daly, of West Point, beaten, even at this early date.
