At the meeting of the National club of Washington, D.C., on Nov. 8, the following gentlemen were unanimously elected honorary members; General Jas. A. Garfield, Col. H. C. Hodges, Capt. H. W. Howgate, J. K. Upton, and O. L. Pitney. Concerning President-elect Garfield’s love of baseball, it is said that he never fails to put in an appearance at the National grounds, and few people take the interest in the game that he does, or follow it as closely. He keeps the score himself, and watches every play as intently as if he had thousands of dollars on the result.
