Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON. Oct. 13.-Much amusement is pro-
voked here in theatrical circles by the belief in
New York that Mr.. Hudson, a member of Will
son Barretts company, is burlesquing Irving in
''Claudian." The facts are that Hudson for
some time was a member of the Lyceum COM
pany. Being then at the commencement OF his
career, he took the impress of Irving's potent
personality, from which he has never quite
freed himself His peculiarities are the same
in all parts. believe Irving and Hudson are
good friends. The same thing was noticed on
the first night OF "Claudian" in London, but
without the slightest Intention on Hudson q
part.

Lord BeresfOrtl Protests Against Eng

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Oct l3-The opinion here on the
prospects in Bulgaria may be gathered from
these three extracts. The Times says: There
Is still possibility of averting a resort to
FORCE" The Standard says: Throughout the
continent the air smells OF gunpowder An out
break OF hostilities is probable contingency"
The Daily News says: at is possible that a
peaceful solution OF the difficulty may be
found" The Pail Mall Gazette publishes to-
day secret memorandum addressed TO the
admiralty by Lord Charles Beresford, Junior
naval lord, in which he says he feels bound TO
put on record a protest against
THE ENTIRE UNREADINEsS OF ENGLAND
for war. He goes at great length into the lack
of armament, defenses and personnel, and he
declares there is at headquarters absolutely no
plan of operations In case of an outbreak of
hostilities. Unless a man of enormous energy
and genius should be created by the need, Eng
land would be face to face with an irreparable
calamity.

"A summary Of the individual playing of the
dlf1erent teams of the National base ball league
has some very interesting information for pa
irons of the game. Anson, the Chicago first

.S11, Kelly second, with 1868, while Mack, the
new Washington catcher, stands third with an
average of 1861. He, however, played in but
ten games. Hines, the heavy hitter of the
nome team, stands ninth, Immediately below
Richardson, of the Detroits. The remainder of
the team stand; Shock, No. %; Kreig. So; Car
roll, SO; Baker, 6S; Farrell, 20; Knowles, 76;
Decker, 81; Houck, "a; Hayes, SO; Gilligan,
9O Oldfeld, los, with Shaw 49, next to the
last. kreig, Of the Washingtons, stands second
among hrstbasemen, being next to Farrar in
playing that position. Giiiigan, although
standing sixth among the catchers, has the
ulstlnctiOn OF having caught more games than
any other player. He caught in II
games, while Bennett, who heads the list,
caught in SO games. Richardson, of Detroit,
leads the second basemen, while Farrell stands
number ten. Knowles stands next to the last
among regular third baSemen now playing
hlte, OF Detroit, is just u notch below him.
Glasscock, OF course, leads the shOrt-stops, and
Hornung the left-helders, With Carroll number
ten. Fogarty holds first place among right
fieders. The best fielding team would be Fer
guson, p; Bennett, c.; Farrar, 1st b.; H. Rich
ardson, b.; Esterbrook, 3 b.; Glasscock ss:
Hornung, 1t; D. Richardson, CT, and Fogarty,
RI, while the best batting team would be Buff
