On his return from his travela he would go back to his cabin in the, woods and write 'of his adventures, often con tributing artioles to magazines and various papers. After bis extended visits abroad he came to this coun try and started on a lecture campaign, which carried him into practically every section of America. - He wrote at length of his travels in this coun try, and hia contributions were often commented upon. ' His command of language would rank with that of a scholar but the subjects that he se lected to write about were seldom of interest to the people. ! J -. At intervals he waa a frequent vis itor W this city. By his peculiar ap pearance he always attracted atten- tion fronf every class and on account of his eccehtrict nature he always was a target of "jibea" from the small boy, which he 'was quick to resent and in this way bis reputation became extonded to every class. ,The love of strong drink was his greatest weak ness and in the latter years of his life be became its slave. Lately his visits to tbe eity were always marked by a spree, and often the police were forced to lock him up. He waa never dealt with severely for his offenses the city authorities granting bun bis liberty many times provided he would leave for hia home. - He owned a farm "consisting . of about 100 acres which is worth ap proximately $3,000 according to a lo cal real estate man, Nothing of value around his premises was found and if he left a will it h has not yet been found. .

For the greater part of tbe coming week these two leading- teams of tbe country will be engaged in a nerve-racking grapple, tbe games alternating daily between this eity and tb Vity ol srotberly Love. - ; . A big question mark symbolizes (he real situation aa regards the results of the series. In the mind of the real baseball fan, however, there appears to be no question as to bow the aeries will go. Tbe real fan ia convinced that his favorite team will win. . The Philadelphian ean furnish convincing reasons why the Athletics are sure to capture a majority of tbe eerie of seven games and the New Yorker can furnish reasons none the less logical why McCraw's hustlers should walk off with-(he rich plum. There is not a great -deal of satis faction in comparing the two team individually, for baseball luck, team play, spirit and .watchfulness to make the most of emergencies as they arise' will play a big part.

Probably no series that has "ever , . . . o . looeu piayea in m ,. . .Ti-Jij n.: - doubtedly no series, the weather be ing suitable, will equal It m attend- ance. - Something like' 200,000 people will probably pay from 1 .to $6 each to see the series of games. No more strikiog evidence of .the wonderful (increase in the popularity of , the American game can be given than by comparing these figures with those of 1884 when less than 5,000 people paid team of the National Lea- from 25 to 50, cents each to see the gue and the Metropolitans, of the American Association play for the first world a championship.. . If the attendance is up to expecta tions tbe receipts for the series, of it extends to five or six games,' will cer tainly run up close to third of a mil lion dollars. What a time the Giants and Athletics will have when ' this great financial melon is sliced. The gross receipts will be divided as fol lows: Temper cent of, tbe receipts of all the games will go to the Nation al Commission. Sixty per eent of the remainder from the first four games will form a pool for the players of the two teams, to be divided 60 per cent to the winner and 40 per eent to the loser of the contest. After the 1Q per cent deduction for the commis sion and the tSU per cent which forms the play ess' pool from the first game, the . remainder of the gross receipts will be divided equally between the two clube. At , the prices fixed for the series the winning players' are pretty sure of making a rake-off of at least $2,500 each. The players eligible to share in the rich prize are, by announcement of the commission, the following:' . New York Murray, Becker, De- vore, Merkle, . Snodgrass, x letcuer, Doyle, Devlin, .MathewBon, r Wiltse, MoGraw, Latham, Marquard, Cran dall, Ames, Meyers, Wilson, Herzog, Druoke, Hartley, and Paulette. , Philadelphia Thomas, Ktrunk, Plank, Oldring, Murphy, Mclnnis, Morgan, Martin, Lora, Livingston, Lapp, Krause, Hartsel, Derrick, Dan forth, Davis, Coombs, Collins, Ben der, Barry and Baker, ,'. k v i The umpires selected to officiate are William J.
