ANSON The Famous Base Ball Captain He Kicks Hard, But Plays a Splendid '' .'". Game of Ball. IE HAS A WONDEEFUL EE00ED As a Hard Hitter and Able Manager-Chica- go's " Old Man " is Hard to t "Beat Peculiarities of His Play, greatest general of the field, the best trainer of talent and the greatest tho league has now, THE has had and probably as as it ever will have, is C. Anson, a member Chicago league team 1870, and its captain and manager since 1877. Some-body asked tins Scnmelz once wnom ne considered the best batter in America, and his reply was: "Well, for a good, reliable very day batter, year in and year out, big Captain Anson, of the Chicagos, comes pretty near filling the bill." - Mr. Sqhmelz did not exaggerate one Wrhit. .' Anson is the terror of all pitchers, and if they can help it few of them will let iim hit the ball if there are men on bases and a hit means a victory for Chicago. He U not a batsman of the Bronthers stripe, depending on a good eye and gseat strength, f although he is liberally endowed with both. Anson is a scientific place hitter, and gen-erally knows where the baH will go when lie hits it. He is a perfect specimen of physical manhood, is six feet two inches in height, weighs about 220 pounds, and when he hits the ball the fur flies. His forte is his great reliability in time of need, his steady nerve and rare good judgment when the game in trembling in the balance. In that respect he is head and shoulders above any other player in the League. Capt. Anson stands with his feet rather closely together, his left leg slightly in the lead. Tightly grasping his bat and he uses one so heavy that few of the boys can wing-i- t he taps the home plate twice from force of habit, hoists it up to his shoulder, but does not permit it to sink over his back, and then coolly and calmly waits for the ball be has determined to hit. His favorite boll is just at the shoulder, and the way he.can rip the cover off a ball at that height is a terror to his opponents, but he can hit any kind of a ball, either low or high. Anson's batting position and average since the organization of the league are: In 1876, fifth, .384; 1877, fourth, .335; 1878, fifth, .339; 1879, first, .407; 1880, second. .338; 1881, first, .890; 1882, second, .848; 1883, sec-ond, .418; 1884, fourth, .337; 1885, sixth, .810; 186, second, .871; 1887, first, .421; 1888, first, .848; 1889, third, .811. In fourteen seasons Anson has played 1,307 games; has been to the bat 5,422 times, and has made 1,928 base hits, with a grand percentage of fourteen yearn' work cf .356. The only man who excels this record is "Dan" Broufchers, and he has only played ten seasons. Since Anson has been connected with the Chi-cago club it has won the championship six .ADRIAH 0. ANSON. Although the subject of this sketch, by reason of his length of service, and because he has had such compltite control of the Chicago team, Is generally known as "Old Man Anson," he is far from being an old man. Ho was born tliirty-flv- a yeiirs ago, in Mjirshalltown, Iowa. His baseball career began with amateur nines of his native city in 1869. He remained an ama-teur until the end of tho season of 1870. His first professional engagement was with the Forest Citys of Rockford, IH., in 1871. Almost from the start Anson was a brill-iant success as an all 'round player. Ho gained such a reputation while with the Forest Citys that he was engaged in 1872 by the Athletic club, of Philadelphia, Pa., which was at that time the champion or-ganization, and played with that nine when "Dick" McBride was the ideal pitcher of the baseball world and "Fergy" Malone hardly less celebrated as a catcher. In 1875 he went to Europe with the Ath-letics, and there astonished soma of the English cricketers by the way he handled the willow. .In the match with the "All Ireland" eleven he made the highest indi- - vtdual score. In 1876 Anson joined the Chicago club. As a fielder "Anse" is a little worse than most of tho first basemen in tho league, according to the record, but according to the chances he crabs at he will take a back seat for none of them. President Spalding reposes implicit confidence in the long beaded captain, and between them they are a pair that has more than once beaten threes.. On the field Anson, in spite of his "kick-ing" and his bulldozing of umpires, which is quite as, notorious as that of Kwing, and oftentimes more to the purpose, is univer-sally popular. His value as a player, cap-tain and manager cannot be ovarestimated, as may readily be Judged by the able way in .which he has, during the past three years, brought his almost experimental teams to tho front. His methods are more of the driving than the persuasive kind, and the rigor with which he holds players up to their duty does not make him over-popul- ar with them. And yet few men who ever worked for Anson have other ' feelings toward him than intense admira-tion and respect. In private life Ansou is one of the most interesting and pleasant companions one can ask for. He is a great tnlker. There are four 'subjects on which lie will argue with anybody! baseball, politics, billiards and his trip around the world. He is a fine story teller and can spin yarns as long as ho can keep awake. He has been called "the- - Rider Haggard of baseball," and so far as the ability to tell an iute'euting nar-rative goes .the appelation is correct. Anson has been the source of great in-spiration to baseball writers for a de-cade. He loves to talk to the scribes, and .nothing that is written about him worries hm in the least so long as he is not lied about. "I like it," he told the writer once. "The more they write about me the better It is for the Chicago club and myself. "The more advertising a ball player gets the more money he gets." Anson seldom contradicts a yarn, and hence when ma-terial is scarce space men work off no end baseball fairy tales a.?.d attribute them to the "Old Man." Such, in brief, Is Adrian C. Anson. Hon-orable in all his dealings, conscientious in bis duty to his employers, always affable, a man of integrity and grit his word is kist bond and he fears nothing a power &5iif UI although not favore by the pol- - FINANCIAL WELLS, FARGO &C0'8 Salt Lake City, Utah Buys and sells exchange, makes telegraphic transfers on the principal cities of the United States and Europe, and on all points on the Pacific Coast.

Something About the Famous Trainer of Athletes His Record. , Jack McMasters Is a man who is as widely known, as capable and as popular as any member of his profession on either side of the Atlantic. He was born, says The Clip-per, In the parish of Kirkmaiden, Wigton-shir- c, Scotland, on Aug. 18, 1851. When still In his teens he commenced the busi-ness of a trainer of athletes. The first man he trained was James Nuttall, of Manches-ter, for a race for the 600 yards champion gold cup, which ho won. McMasters next trained Nuttall for his race with S. Ridley, of Gateshead, to run 1,000 yards for the championship and 1,000. Nuttall was again successful, winning by a yard. He then trained successively Charles Wright, James McLeavey, Yates, Hindle and George Parry. In 1879 McMasters left England In quest of a wider and more profitable field for his talents In the United States, landing In New York in September of that year. His first engagement in the United States was to prepare W. Barnes, of Manayunk, Pa., for a match with Tomlinson, of Frankford. Barnes won the race by three yards. Sub-sequently he trained Lee, of the University of Pennsylvania, and 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 of the best runners, etc., ever seen in America. He is how eDgaged by C. A. Byrne, to look after the interests of the members of the Brooklyn Baseball club. A SKILLFUL PITCHER. Hark Baldwin, Who Tosses the Ball for the Chicago Flayers' League Club. Mark Baldwin, the crack twirler of the Chicago club, of the Players' league, is one of the ablest pitchers in the profession. He is of splendid physical development, standing over 6 feet in height and weighs about 190 pounds. His professional career began with his engagement with the Cum-berland (Md.) club, in 1883. In 1885 ho joined the McKeesport club, and assisted it to win the championship of the Western Pennsylvania league. During the season of 1888 he did great work for the Duluth club, of the North-western league. That season he pitched in forty-on- e games, being eight mora than any pitcher of that league. MARK BALDWIN. The Chicngos next secured his aervices, and he more than fulfilled their expecta-tions throughout the seasons of '87 and '86. His most remarkable pitching per-formance was the retiring of the Pitts-burg team with only one safe hit on Sept. 23 of the former year. Baldwin was one of the party which made the trip to Australia and Europe during the winter of 1888-'8- Upon the return qf the tourists Anson made the biggest mistake of his life. He released Mark, thinking he bad lost his former ef-fectiveness in the box. Manager Bucken-burge- r, of the Columbus Club, shortly afterward signed him, and thus showed good judgment, for Baldwin more than equalled his previous record, twice holding the Brooklyns and once each the St. Louis and Athletics down to two hits in a championship game. OFA JUNEDAY DINNER Juliet Corset Tells How to Cook and Serve It Interesting to Housekeepers. ' SOME VEEY USEFUL INE0SMATI0N. Just What Sort of a Meal Is Most Appropriate at this Time of Year. j l HE question which most often f troubles tho hoiisewifo is that of tho daily dinner what to provido for tho family appe-tite, that never fails, morninir, noon and night. Above all, what to choose for the princi-pal meal of tho day, whether Jm k conies at noon or at night. It is my purpose to here give a good, fair selection of dishes likely to satisfy the average American, the materials for which can be found in nearly every part of the country. At this time thero is inch an abundance of canned goods gen-erally available that vegetables ran be included in all bills of fare; and to such perfection is their preparation brought that, with a well made sauce, they can hardly be distinguished from the fresh growth. The use of sauces is of great import-ance in varying tho flavor of different foods, and in increasing their economic value. Our present concern is with the selection of a good summer dinner. As many Americans do not use soup and fish habitually, we shall not givo both upon the same bill of fare unless some special occasion is in question. . . . . Broiled Fish Filets. Bermuda Potatoes. Asparagus. Peat. Shoulder of Lamb, with Mint Sauce. Fresh Tomato Salad. Strawberry Cream Cups. If any of the ingredients required in these recipes are not available, some sub-stance may be used which will produce a similar result, or at least make a savory and palatable dish, acceptable to those before whom it is to bo placed. In the first recipe, for instance, any fresh fish will serve the purpose in place of the sea food for which the formula calls. FISH FILETS BROILED. Upon the sea or lake board any fresh fish may be split down tho back, the largest bones removed and the head, tail, fins and entrails trimmed away; either the fish may be cooked in this form, or the flesh may be cut from the spine in two pieces, each comprising one-ha- lf the fish; these pieoes can be laid, skin down, upon the cutting board, a firm hold taken with the left' hand of the nearest end, the blade of a sharp, thin knife sunken through the flesh down to the skin, but not through it, the knife blade gradually flattened against the skin and pushed back with it away from the end held in the left hand until the flesh and skin are smoothly separated. These pieces of fish thus freed from skin and bone are called filets; they may be broiled, fried or baked, at choice, and served with salt, pepper and butter, or lemon juice and parsley, or with any sauce preferred. SALAD AND VEGETABLES. ' The salad specified above is of fresh tomatoes, made quite cold upon the ice after being washed clean, or scalded and peeled. They maybe served whole or sliced; either alone or laid upon lettuce leaves or water cresses; the taste is con-sulted in seasoning them with salt, pep-per and vinegar, or with sugar and vin-egar or with a little claret. The vegetables are new potatoes, washed clean with a cloth or brush in plenty of cold water, and then boiled-o-nly until just tender in salted water, and kept hot under a folded towel after draining off the water. The asparagus u the small green va-riety, well washed, the tender portion cut in small bits, and boiled only until tender in salted boiling water. As a rule, American cooks boil vegetables too long. They should be drained from the boiling water as soon as they are tender enough to eat. If green, like the aspar-agus tips, they should be thrown into a vessel of cold water for a few moments to set their color and preserve their form; then they can stand until ' it is time to serve them; drain them, reheat them as quickly as possible, either with sauce or butter, salt and pepper, and serve them at once. ROAST LAMB WITH MINT SAUCE. This favorite summer dish for Ameri-cans is seldom served in its prime con-dition, because housewives are apt to forged two things; first, that such a deli-cate and immature meat as lamb is more likely to spoil from exposure to unfavor-able temperature than beef or mutton; and, second, that it must be perfectly cooked to preserve all its flavor. 'No confusion of taste should be created by a mixed seasoning or by stuffing it; use only salt and pepRer, after the surface has been browned in the hottest possible oven, and either its own brown gravy or a good mint sauce. Some of the bones maybe removed to facilitate carving, the vein of tho neck cut carefully out, the joint tied orskewered in proper form, the surface wiped with a clean, wet cloth, and the meat then placed in the hottest possible oven and quickly browned, or before a very hot open fire, and after browning seasoned.
