After his playing days in Chicago were over he went into the saloon business and died a short time afterwards of consumption.

His wife died in California a little time after him with the same disease, which she had contracted while nursing him.

Prior to her departure from Chicago and when she had been informed by a physician that her days were numbered, she sent for me, and after telling me that she had "roasted" me in the papers all her life, begged my forgiveness, saying that she had found out her mistake.

This, of course, was granted.
Mrs.Keene and my wife saw that she had every comfort, and Mr.Keene, Mr.Spalding and myself furnished the money that took her to the Golden State, where she lived but a short time after her arrival.
Joe Quest, who played the second base, was another player who came to us from the Indianapolis team, but prior to that time he had been playing around New Castle, Pa.

Joe was a good, reliable, steady fellow, but a weak batsman.
