According to a ball player who used to play for Long, the latter has had a number of escapes from serious injury at the hands of angry play=rs. The Eastern League season closed yes terday, with Montreal as the winner. Wilkesbarre was second and Toronto third. The others followed thus: Buffalo, Provi- dene>, Syracuse. Ottawa and Springfield. Mest of the Eastern League teams, like these of other leagues, big and little all over the country, lost heavily in a financial Der for th: nd t com way. The Canadian clubs—Montreal and Toronto—made som2 money. It is rumored that a base ball man of national reputation will manage the Phil- lies next season. Base ball men of na- tional reputation may be counted on the fing+rs of one hand. Who cen it be—Selee, Hanlon or Tebeau? Colonel Rogers always kness for the latter. Well, if it the aggressive Patrick we'll give him a welcome that will warm the cockles of his heart, and incidentally make him forget all about the unappreciativeness of Cleveland base ball cranks.—Philadelphia Press. The Messrs. Wagner are to be felicitated for the admirable judgment they displayed in securing Arthur Irwin to manage their Washington team and Arthur himself is to be congratulated. In his all around krowledge of the game, his ability to han- dle men and to gei out ail t thera may be in them, he has no superiors and few equals in the National League. Champion teams are not built up in a season or t but if Irwin is given a free foot he) will have the Senators in the first flight inside of three years —Philadelphia Inquirer. Manager Tom Burns of the Chicagos @enies that Kittredge and Decker of the Louisvilles are still the property of the Chicago club. “Both Decker and Kittr2dge were released outright by this club, and we have no claim on either player. They belong to Louisville, and that club can do whatever it pleases with them. That Is a wildeat story—nothing more. We do not want to release players conditionally to any club. It would be an outrage to take Kit- tredge away from the Colonels. He has made that t2am. Until he joined them they were playing poor ball. They needed an ex: perienced catcher to coach their pitchers, and they secured just such a man in Kitt. lam glad to se> him doing we'l, but we do not need him. We have Donohue and Chance now, and next Wednesday young Nichols, an Eastern Leaguer, joins us. He is fast enough for this league, I know, for he play+d under me last season.” During the week the Cincinnatls lost the lead to the champions, who have been playing in something like their old form. The Reds have made a great fight for the flag, and fooled many of the most observ- ant critics and players. Unless «Baltimore should develop an extraordinary winning streak, the chances are all favorable to Boston again carrying off th> coveted bunting, and no square sport will begrudge the champions their success. In the face of all kinds of disaster—disaster that would have completely unnerved many another club—they kept plugging dogg:diy away, doing the best they knew how, until they again got their team together and gained their rightful position at the head of the column. This time last we:k it looked as though Baltimore had every chance to be in front at this time, but their unexpected and inexplicable slump at Brooklyn inter- vened.

To the Editor of The Bvening Star: So many complaints have of late been made of soldiers misrepresenting their condition and the actual status of affairs pertaining to their treatment by the gov- ernment that it is high time some one should search for the cause of so much pre- varication. It seems to me these things would not be of such common occurrenc> if there was not a cause for them—in other words, if there was not a premium placed upon misrepresentation by allowing the emotions to run riot with reason. The sol- dier, generally speaking, is a man of the world, and is quick to perceive an advant- age, especially in cases such as the present, when sympathy for the suffering is almost universal. People generally, and women especially, are so eager to render aid that they lose sight entirely of the fact that it is natural in this, the ninetzenth, century to “get all you can, no matter how you get." If peop!» would use more reason in bestowing their gifts there would be no complaints, for by extending good judgment the needy coula be easily reached. A SOLDIER.
