I just had a short visit with Geo. Stone, the famous left fielder of the St. Louis base ball club. Many residents of Creighton will remember Stone, who played with the Coleridge team some twelve or fourteen years ago. Though Stone is paid a salary higher than a congressman, yet as soon as the base ball season is over he returns to Coleridge and assists regularly in the Commercial State Bank. One of the few men following that profession who saves his money he is now fast approaching the position where he can be independent.
