Text	In a few days the New York Club will have to get along without the services of O'Rourke for three or four games. The great catcher will have more important business on hand than ball playing. He is to be examined for his degree of L.L.B. a the Yale Law School, and he expects to listen to the oration of Randolph Tucker that is to be delivered to the newly fledged lawyers at the Center Church in New Haven. O'Rourke entered the Yale Law School three years ago, and is reported to have mastered Blackstone as easily as he does a foul tip. Last year the New York managers would not let him off to attend examination, so this year he would not sign a contract until it contained a stipulation that he should be temporarily released at examination time. O'Rourke expects to open a law office in Bridgeport as soon as the season closes next Fall, but he will not give up base ball for a year or two yet. When he does he expects to go into politics.
