BY ALLEN In many ways Bill Dablen ts the foremost figure in National League boseball to-day, If you had money invested in the Equitable Ife, you would be reading all about Jami Hazen Hyde and the latest importa- tion of chorus girls, sprinkled with veteran champagne. Just so may the intelligent fan peruse what {s truthe fully said of ‘Bad Bill’ Dahten. You will find this alleged terror of the diamond any night in his little Brooklyn flat. He lives a secluded life, like nearly ail baseball men now- aday He has few friends, because he says that outsidera do him practi cally no good, Dahlen, in brief, is a type of the old-time ball player re- Juvenated by up-to-date methods, You know there was a day when these heroes of the diamond caroused niong Broadway or “over the Rhine.” The famous — ‘“Ten-Thousand-Dollar’’ Mike Kelly was known in every saloon where sporting men gathered. He used to lay a $50 bill on the bar and never budge until the last cent shad been “blown in.’ In consequence, Mike Kelly became popular—so popu- jar that thousands would pay the Price of admission just to see him The “Greatest Ever,” Yesterday, when Dahlen made three marvellous stops, you could hear peo- ple all over the grand-stand declare “He fe the greatest shortstop that ever lived." And it is a question whether this encomium does not fit, Dahlen has ‘butt up the New York team, He has not the funny quirks of Mike Kelly, but he has the origt=: nality of players who have long since faded from public view, Kelly was the most eccentric ball- player this country ever knew, On one occasion he had right fleld for Chicago, own fleld, The day was so cloudy, what with smoke from a nearby facto'ry and the braw east wind, thet it was tmpos- sible to see a ball outside the diamond, When Chicago was one run ahead in STANDING OF THE \"ResuLrs oF YESTERDAY'S GAMES.

He has a pecultar superstition that if he touches the ball he will be able to make a base hit, Where He Started, Dahlen has had this idea ever since he played as a boy in Albany, where “Larry Fawoett was manager, Faw- cett is'now a regular rooter at the Polo Grounds and takes the credit of having reoummended Dahlen two '“Pop'' Anson. ‘Bad"’ Bill broke with Albany and in- stantly made a sensation by his re- markable hitting.
