grabbing everything that comes into
left field.
The following from a Cincinnati
paper may explain the trouble in the
New York team: ''There seems to be a
conflict of authority in the New York
team. Manager Powers said that his
team would play the second game with
the Reds Yesterday, but Buck Ewing
said they wouldn't, and they didn't"

cation when the team gets back. d.
Arthur Irwin is fiourishing 800 bill

lance, two important omissions.

Honor to Whom Houor Is Due.

the earth will have completely leveled
its surface, 80 that there will be no
longer hills or valleys, continents, or
distinctive oceans. ALI the land will
have been washed down into the sea,
which will then cover all with a watery
mantle and render impossible any life
except thatwhich can exist without dry
land. Almost coincidently with this
comes an assurance from distinguished
astronomical writer that the sun may
last 100000 years longer, but not
twice as long rs that. His stores of
heat are being given out so rapidly that
some fifty thousand centuries hence
they will be depleted beyond the point
sufficient to maintain human life or any
of the higher animal organisms. Other
authorities tell us the supplies of fuel
are being used up SO fast that they will
have disappeared much sooner than the
time named, and still others predict
that the human race will be killed off
by insuficiency of food as well as of
coal. Between these different prognos-
tications for the future the prospect is
rather gloomy one.

Muscular Scholarship.

That this is getting to be a day and
generation of muscular scholarship is
neatly illustrated by the preponderance
of baseball, foot racing, rowing and
other athletic sports in the page and q
half which a Chicago paper the other
day devoted to correspondence from the
various schools and colleges.
In the northern states, at least, there
is hardly school Of any account In
which the art of knocking ball or pull
ing boat through the water is not as
carefully fostered by the faculty as is
the knowledge of the classics or the
ability to wrestle successfully with the
most formidable problems of the higher
mathematics. Every college has its
field day, and well-matched baseball
team sheds even greater luster upon
alma mater than the most accomplished
graduate in law, science or general &C
ademics. As rule the most ardent
athletes are not the fellows who most
assiduously burn the midnight oil; but
the great advantage of this tendency to
muscular scholarship is that under 1t
the athletes necessarily absorb some
learning and the book worm is led to
develop his muscle in spite of opposite
predictions.
