Among the members of the graduating class of Columbia Law School is Johnnie Ward, the popular captain of the New York League Club. The commencement exercises will take place in the Academy of Music Wednesday evening, May 27. Although Ward is only twenty-five years old he has been famous as a ball player for several years. He was born in Pennsylvania, and first studied at a military institute. He early evinced a fondness for the study of law, and decided to adopt it as a profession. He has spent his earnings as a ball player on his education. If he proves as successful a lawyer as ball player he will be pre-eminent as a member of the bar.
