stone, which
is one of the wonders of the new world, it is appropriate to add that
two world's series have been played on the field of the Polo Grounds
since it has been erected.

The rules for these world's series were formulated and adopted upon the
suggestion and by the advice of Mr. Brush and since a regular world's
series season has been a feature of Base Ball the national game has
progressed with even greater strides than was the case in the past.

At a meeting of the National League the following resolutions were
adopted:

_Whereas_, The death of Mr. John T. Brush, president of the New York
National League Base Ball Club, comes as a sad blow to organized
professional Base Ball and particularly to us, his associates in the
National League.

As the dean of organized professional Base Ball, his wise counsel, his

fairness and integrity in all matters pertaining to the welfare of the

He was a citizen of sterling worth, of high moral standards and of

to us, but to the community at large as well. Be it, therefore,

_Resolved_, That the members of the National League of Professional
Base Ball Clubs, in session to-day, express their profound grief at
the loss of their friend, associate and counsellor and extend to the
members of his bereaved family their sincere sympathy in the great
loss which they have sustained by his death. Be it further

of the league.

In connection with the death of Mr. Brush, Ben Johnson, president of the
American League, said: "Mr. Brush was a power in Base Ball. He will be
missed as much in the American League as in the National League."

More than three hundred friends, relatives, business acquaintances,

Brush, on Friday, November 29, at St. Paul's Episcopal Church,
Indianapolis. Fifty or more of Mr. Brush's Base Ball associates and
acquaintances, principally from the East, were present.

The service was conducted by the Rev. Lewis Brown, rector of St. Paul's,
and was followed by a Scottish Rite ceremony in charge of William Geake,
Sr., of Fort Wayne, acting thrice potent master, and official head of
the thirty-third degree in Indiana. The S
