Spaaldisg Says the War ~ Leagues De-
stroys Public Interest
CHICAGO, May 6-Nuch comment was
created in baseball circles by rather re-
markshie interview with President SpauId-
ing. of the Chicago National League team.
printed in local paper this evening. Mr..
Spaniding speaks Of the apparent lack Of
interest the people are showing IN the
ing OF in attendance ct the games since
the opening OF the season In talking ut
some length he says that people have IN .
large measure lost interest in the cities
where the Brotherhood has put clubs.
because they can't take interest in two
National home clubs 1t once. People, he
says. have lost that patriotic feeling which
prompts them 70 attend them when their
teams score . victory. Their games.
Spauiding says. according to their own
predictions. should have much larger
crowds than they are drawing. He does
not deny that the attendance 1t the League
parks has greatly fallen Cd, but says il
there were not that element in the eight
which kills real interest In the game. the
attendance on either side could not b COM
planned of.
1T 10 clear to me-" said Spsulding in
conclusion. that under the present regime,
interest in baseball viii soon die out. l re-
greet IL bat l am convinced that this Is
true"
SpauIding's hope is that the great cities
viii once again have each . single repre-
sentative team. in which to take pride, and
that then baseball win be redeemed.
Some Of the brotherhood magnates in
this city were interviewed tonight and re-
fused to take 6pauldings' gloomy view OF
the situation. President Addison OF the
Chicago club, said: "rnterest has died out
in the old style bleaching boards OF the
National League and in the games played
by hired men. The brotherhood Is well
satisfied without this, and rs far - they
are concerned their patronage. consider

The First Ono to he Swung by the Now
Jersey Central This Week.
Some night this week the III rnix Iron Com
pany will probably swing the new bridge Of the
Central Railroad OF New Jersey over West
street. This will be quite an event, since it Is
the first OF tho kind, and it is the opinion OF
many that West street. at no distant day. will
be literally covered over with similar struc-
lures. Like bridges may be expected on some
OF the other busy streets, where 1t is unsafe for
pedestrians to cross. There was q bridge over
broadway at Fulton street years ago Possibly
that was the only one ever erected for a pur-
