Tnmi Compared.
To compare the Hellly crowd to Mor
ley's stars would lie like matching an
automobile in a straight race with a
plug horse. There is no possible chance
for comparison.
The Helenas are smaller than tho
Retllyltes, but sre more active. Thomp
son Is a good pitcher with lots of speed
and wide curves. Howlctt. tin third
baseman. Is a clever plitw-r and the
center fielder. Hrowii, has class. Captain
Klunnery has been playing short stop
when his right place Is on third. Ho
hopes to get a good man for short be
fore lori. The Helenas are badly in
need of practice. They were able to
get in only about five days good drilling
at Bakerstield on account of the ruiny
weather.

Is quick, on tho Jump, and he plays the
game from the time the first ball is
pitched until the last one is twirled
over the rubber.
The Hurils men are by all odds the
toughest proposition the Morleyltes have
tackled yet. They are a bunch of hit
ters of the first water and are able to
Btart a batting rally ut either end of the
line. They seem to be fast Udders and
are handy on the bases. Harris has
bought his men novel and rather neat
uniforms blue shirts, blue pants with

The men look neat and workmanlike.

HYPNOTISM ON
" THE DIAMOND
City of Famous Brews Hires a
Pitcher Who Will Charm Batters.
The Milwaukee American Association
Club, according to the latest news from
tho city that waa mad famous by 67
kinds of beer, Is planning a surprise
of vast magnitude -for its opponents In
the coming campaign, and la Incidental
ly about to atart what may prove a com
plete revolution In tha science of the
game. It threatens to sign one Hlott.
a pitcher who la also a hypnotist, and
the duty of Mr. Blott Will ba to exert
his mesmeric power upon the hostile
batsmen. Mr. Hlott, It is authorltlvely
stated, can ao deceive a batnman that
the unfortunate, after rtne glance at the
mystic eye of Mr, Hlott, will see a wide
out-curve coming , when the ball Is an
ln-drop. The unhappy one at the plate
will reach for a high slow toss when a
lightning fast shoot Is whizzing past
his knee, and will stand perfectly still,
seeing balls way off the plate, till the
umpire's call of "Three and out" rouses
him to a consciousness that every one
was right over. Mr. Hlott can be used
In nearly every game, for his arm will
not be overworked, lie will not have
to breuk hi shoulder-Joint getting up
steam, for even a ball rolled along the
ground from the hypnotic hand of Mr.
Hlott will lie Just as effective as the
fastest pellet Kusle ever shunted
through. It may be possible, of course,
that some batsmen will be impervious
to Mr. Hlott mesmerism, and will paste
him far afield, but what of that? The
next batter, no doubt, will be Hlotted
out. and the side retired. Even should
a wild plt(Jh pall by with a man on third
Mr. Hlott will only have to make the
proper passes, anil both the runner and
the batter would Imagine that the ball
was sticking firmly in the catchers
paw.
A Lars Tiald.
What a wonderful Meld opens up for
the hypnotist In baseball! In a few
seasons If Mr. Hlott starts the fashion
successfully, we will have the hypnotic
umpire, who can make the most vicious
kicker see everything with umpirical
eyes, and send both the players und the
spcrtator home In the best of humor.
We will have the hypnotic batsman;
who can charm any pitcher always ex
cepting Mr. Hlott Into handing him a
slow, straight ball, waist-high, under
the impression that he Is sending In a
terrific nak curve; we will have the
hypnotic base runner, who can make the
second baseman stand like a statue,
ball In hand, while the runner
dashes by, ond we will have the hypnotic.
Intlelder, who will make the runner stop
dead still until the ball has been
slammed down upon him. Occasionally,
of course, there will be a conflict of hyp
notists. Professor I-aJole and Professor
Kinder will meet half way up the base
puth. Professor Cajole will wave his
hands, with the remark: "Vou are out.
you know you are out turn and walk
to yonder bench!" Professor Keebr
will make tho needful passes, and re
spond: "I am safe. I must bo Baft
drop that ball, drop thut ball!" They
will stand thus, making pusses, until
the hypnotic umpire shouts: "You are
both under the fixed Impression that you
are Jackasses. Stand on your hands,
kick out your spikes, and say: Hee haw,
hee haw.'" Oh. nothing to It the era
of hypnotism In baseball Is surely near
ut hand.

JUDGE BOOTH
LEAVES OFFICE
Tears ago a newspaper writer who
knew both Jamea R. Koene and Jay
Gould wrote this:
"The last tlmo I called on Jay Gould,
at Forty-seventh street and Fifth ave
nue, he pointed out to me a magnificent
painting on the south wall of his parlor.
It waa one of Rosa Konheur's nut her
'Horse Fair,' but her next best picture.
Shaking his long, bony finger ut It and.
sneering horribly, he hissed;
" 'There hangs the sculp of Jutnes R.
Keene!'
"Among the purchases that he had
made when In the heyday of prosperity
Keene reckoned the ltosa Honheur as
one of the most valuable, lie had paid
a fabulous price for It. and It was the
pride and admiration of hi household.
Thl. along with other vuluublna, had
to go to make good part of his enor
mous losses to tiould, whose brokers
hud wiped Keene off the fuco of the
financial earth. The broker who got
this grand masterpiece of ai t promptly
turned It over to Gould, who hud It
hung on the south wall of his Fifth
avenue house. 'There tilings the sculp
of James R. Keene.' How Gould loved
to point to the picture und glout over It.
'He came here to take my scalp, ell?'"
Newspaper writers of a luter day have
chronicled the fact that James R.
Keene. after Gould had died, lived long
enough to redeem that cherished Rosa
Honheur, to buy It back at Its later
owner's price und to rehang It on his
own wall
How Keene lost his scalp to Jay
Gould Is one of the most Interesting of
Wall street traditions. How he began
all over again, won a larger fortune
than h' had lost and hung ut his war ,
belt the scalps of hundreds of others. ,
Is a story no less fusclnutlng and fur
more rure. To lose a fortune In Wall
street Is common. To rise and full and
rise again to even greater helghths Is
what few men have done.
Jay Gould's Ketort.
It was In August. 1 876, tlujt Mr.
Keene came to New York, Hiid. postpon
ing his trip to Europe, decided to remain
a while. The Wall street atmosphere
had fascinated him. His first deal there
was to sell short 10,000 shures of New
York Central ut 110. and It netted him
something like 150,000 profit. Whether
or not Mr. Keene ever said anything
of the kind. Wull street credited him
with having said thst he had come from
California with a parlor car of cash to
drain Jay Gould and take his sculp.
Then the gossips had It that Gould had
curtly retorted, "Well, he may have
come here In u parlor car. but I'll send
him back on a gravel car."
Major J. R. Selover had met Keene
In the west, had admired his bold au
dacity as an operator, and was credited
with having done much to persuade the
t'allfornian that Wall street was his true
sphere. It Is likely that Mr. Keene did
not need much persuasion after he hail
made his first J3,nuO.OUO. He had risen
to the honor of president of the San
Francisco Exchange before he left
then-. His Ideas had broadened and
Culiiornia no longer appeared to him a
promising Held for operations. It Is
likely enough, too, that the fame of Jay
Gould was the flame that drew this
Western moth toward the Wall street
en tulle.
Major Selover, at least, did much to
spread broadcast the belief thut Mr.
Keen had coaio east with his gun
loaded for Gould. Keene at first made
his headquarters at the ofhVe of Samuel
W. Hoocock A Co.. No. 30 Hroad street.
There he met "Sam'' Ward, the famous
bon vivant. for whom he formed a
strong attachment. Curiously enough,
the same address. No. 3u Hroad street.
Is that of .Mr. Keene s present financial
headquarters, the office of his son-ln-Iaw.

sorted that (rould had lt rayed the
Keeno party 111 a Joint deal In Paclflo
Mail, of which "Buck" Houston was
hen the president.
This opened a breach which was never
healed. Gould and Keene became Im
placable enemies. But In his first two
years In Wujl street, Keene had added
J.000.0U0 In profits to Ida previous cap
ital, largely through the rapid advance
of the railroad securities he had bought
at their lowest ebb. In 1S77.
Millions I,ost In Wheat.
Now his fortunes began to wane. A
terlble squeeze he received in wheat
marked the beginning of his downfall.
Inflated hy his successes, Mr. Keene
made the mistake that other shrewd men
have made before and since, of going

I on. They had U keep on buying to

true. Jay Gould, who saw his oppor
through his failure should not be per
mitted to suffer permanently. That
promise he has kept. While he never
scrupled to flay others through the
shifty game of stock gambling and
to drain them remorselessly of ull they
had risked. Mr. Keene made It a point
of personal honor to Indemnify all to
whom he was personally Indebted
through his failure. Indeed, had he not
done so he could hardly have risen
again to power and prestige In the
"atretit," as he ha done.
