"Sucker" is a local vulgarism for a native of Illinois, said to have originated from some 

 necessity early settlers were under of finding water in holes in the prairie so deep that they 

 were obliged, as it were, to suck it up ui drinking. However apt or otherwise eligible the 

 slang pseudonyms of sporting writers may seem to them at the time when they "write 

 for the newspapers, " such nonsense wears a very unbecoming air when it comes to be set 

 forth formally in Bibliography.
