SEND IN YOUR QUARTERS
OR DIMES Or NICKELS FOR THE GIANTS
BASEBALL BATS.
Just show that You Appreciate the Teams
Good work-Don't BE Discouraged by n
Lost Game or T~wo-MansEcr Mutrie
Thinks the Bat Presentation n Good
Thing, Indeed.

There isn't q live man in this town to-day
who isn't watching the grand work of the
New York Baseball Club, and, seeing its sue
cess, who doesn't perceive that able manage
ment and good captaincy are in q measure
responsible for that success.
In fact the entire population of this tickle
metropolis are fast becoming " cranks" Of
the highest order. The large attendance at
recent games goes to show that the public is
aware of the fact that now they have a mine
who excel as q nine and not as individual
players.
The EVENING WORLD was quick to perceive
this, and ready as ever to supply its read
e,t with a medium through which they may
accomplish q purpose, conceived the idea of
presenting for and in behalf of the public
souvenir bats to Gotham's idols-the Giants.
There is no harder working man, nor one
to whom failure means more, than James
Mutrie, but though at present on
plimented on all sides for the success
of his efforts he still holds tenaciously to his
belief, that q manager cannot compel good
ball,players to play good ball at all times.
And Jim 10 right.
Speaking Of the souvenir bats and news
paper work in baseball in general, Mr.. Mutrie
said
"That's q good idea, and it will 60, too.
{ Nothing succeed ds like success
The EVENING WORLD has achieved q sue
cess in the newspaper world, and we are get
ting there right rapidly as a pennant- winning
ball team.
why, yes, of course the boys will like the
bats! Who isn't pleased to receive some
proof that ones work is appreciated-if the
work be good.
Yes. 1 know the public are satisfied
with the ball the boys are playing,
and I think they should be. l am
through with foretelling outcomes in
championship races, but it seems to me that
this year, with the nine we've got and the
ball they are playing, that the championship
should be ours"
THE EVENT 20 WORLD believest the Giants to
be the coming champions. They lost yes
terday's game, it is true, and of course the
croakers commenced again their croakings,
but If games were not lost no games would be
played. II the Giants won every game all
interest and excitement would be gone.
But what the boys ant Just now is more
base hitting, and therefore let their admirers,
each and al. follow the example

they always demand of the Giants-namely,

They Are Well REPAIRED TO Meet the Crack
Paterson Nine.

Next Saturdays game of ball between The
EVENING WORLD nine and the Delaware
Juniors, of Paterson, N. j., will be the
leading event of this season in Paterson.
Manager Phillips, of the Paterson nine,
writes that too much cannot be said about
his men, for they are first-class ball -tosssrs,
with a record that shows it.
Tickets to the game are selling at Paterson
at q rapid rate and the presence of a large as
semblage of spectators is insured.
Capt. Herzer. of The EVENING WoRLD's
team, is in the best of spirits over the pros
poets of a chance to meet :" that crack club"
and has put the nine in good shape for the
contest.
What the result will be can only be guessed
at. for the clubs are very evenly matched,
and such q fact always makes the national
game exciting.

FRIENDS BY HIS CASKET,
A SIMPLE SERVICE OVER THE REMAINS OF
LAWRENCE JEROME.
The Dead Man Looked ms If He stu
Might Turn and Jest-sad silence in the
Room Where Bright Good Fellowship
Had ReiEned Some OF the True
Mourners who Were There.

Friends of Lawrence Jerome stepped into
the cool shadow of his drawing-room to-day
and looked with sigh on all that remained
Of the genial, witty, kindly man of the world.
He lay with his head turned slightly toward
his left shoulder and his right hand resting
on his chest. He looked az il some jovial
remark might make him turn and that the
grayish mustache would spread out over
smiling lips.
But no; the warm hearted man whom
everybody loved had been gay and jolly for
the last time, and his friends filed into the
suite of rooms on the lower floor of his late
residence, 33 West Nineteenth street, and sat
sadly around till the funeral service should
begin over all that was mortal of him..
Billy Florence sat at the head of the coffin
of his old-time friend in the deepest black.
At 1915 the Rev. DR. Prescott Evans, hav-
ing donned his surplice, entered the front
room and read the simple Episcopal Church
ritual for the dead.
During all the reading friends-most of
them men who had passed the meridian of
life-stood and paid reverent attention. The
whole service occupied only quarter of an
hour. There was nj singing. It was the
wish of the family that the services should be
of the simplest character.
At the close of the service Rev. DR.. Evans
said the family wished him to announce that
the interment would take place later at the
convenience of the family, and after a part
ing glance at the dead face the many friends
withdrew.
Mrs. jerome did moi come on from Sharon,
rs she is greatly overworn. and her physician
entreated her not to take this extra e~xertion
on herself. The brothers of the dead man
were present-Atwater and Isaac and also
his son William Travers Jerome.
Among the mourners were Capt. w, j.
Thompson, Samuel 8. Lane, ex-Judge G. s.
