Our base ball players should beware of the tricks of the politicians. We see present at nearly all the most important matches, men seeking office, and some who hold the same. These worthies have “axes to grind.” They care very little about the National Game and their devotion amounts to just what capital they can make out of the pastime. Jake Ridgeway, last summer, devoted months to the study of the science of base ball. He never missed an important match, and "run with the Keystone." He does not take quite as much interest as he did. But Jacob will pull up about election time.
