Joe Burdock has been signed to captain the

Arlie Latham has, at his own request been

He has been carrying on negotiations with the

Umpire Hunt was not wrong in his decision
yesterday in calling Gleason out, as many
think. He had rule 40, section 5. behind him.
This rule says that 1.-THE batsman is out If he at
tempts to hinder the catcher from fielding the
ball, evidently without effort to make a fair
hit" Gleason made no attempt to hit the ball
He threw his shoulder clear out of his box in
palpable effort to be hit by the pitcher and
also to try to block the catcher. His trick was,
as it always has been. only too apparent, and
whether it was exactly covered by the rule
quoted or not, there was no excuse for his get
ting sulky nor for Ted Sullivan's letting the
game 60 by default on his own grounds. There
are plenty of records Of visiting clubs with
drawing and refusing to play, but home
team-never. The umpire has but one way to
compel play, and he is to be supported in exer-
cising this power.

Guard Against Cholera.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
According to recent advices the Asiatic
cholera is raging in the orient and it is feared
that it may take its course westward. The
longest period. since 1882, during which the
United States has been spared from the plague
is seventeen years. In 1s49 it again visited
this country. Seventeen years have now passed
since the disease was brought from Hamburg
to New York and New Orleans-in 1873-whence
1t spread over the states. Let the boards of
health in our large cities, especially along the
Atlantic seaboard, as we'll as the national au-
thorities, take warning and beware lest the
dreaded scourge outwit them and, making its
way stealthily to our shores in 1890 or 1891,
find fertile soil wherein to resume its work of
devastation. Security is mortals' chicfest
enemy" A.BC.C.

South Washington vs.. Grade Crossings

10 the Editor Of THE EVENING star:
Shame on the delusive so-called popular
movement" to retain the railroads on our pub
lie streets and avenues in South Washington?
Why go u Alexandria for two-cents-a- name
signers? Why not Australia We of South
Washington oppose the grade crossings. 1
presume We can stand not only the destruction
OF the mall, but even the taking of the Capitol
for depot, provided the railroad company
keeps from the grade crossings and the muir
der OF our citizens. The Atkinson rail-
road men have apparently discovered
that there are yet in Congress men who not
only seek to protect the lives Of our citizens
from the danger Of grade crossing, but believe
the property of the public should be saved,
aid now for fear of having to surrender to the
public what belongs to them they strike out on
new course. This so-called popular petition
Is not In favor Of the Atkinson bill This bill
asks the legalzation Of their illegal acts and the
right to continue to enter on public property
and use our streets and highways exclusively
for their traffic, forcing residents and owners
OF property on the line of their road to abandon
them. j, HARRISON JoHNsoN
