TOPICS OF
THE TIMES.
From the Pens and Pencils
of Reporters,
TALK ABOUT BASE BALL,
The Example Set by POttsville in Taking
Early Action Should be Followed by
Shenandoah Diamond Patrons.

The Pottsville base ball management
for the season of 1895 is in shape and the
players are 30 report for duty on April
10th, next. Shenandoah, as usual in such
affairs, has not thought of moving in the
direction of securing base ball team.
The lesson II last season should not be
forgotten The season was wholly un-
satisfactory alike to the management
and the public, and simply because steps
to place team in the field had not been
taken in time. No club can be organized
and made ready to play in a night. Base
ball has become business that requires
time and attention. If the public is to be
pleased and induced to patronize the
game it can only be done by getting to.
gether an aggregation of men who know
how to play and will do it. An amateur
home club can be raised in very short time,
but the experience of several years past
has shown that the public will not patron
ize such a club. But when the people
see management eXerting itself and put
the game on the diamond as it should be
played they are liberal in supporting it,
and one of the best ways for man
agement to show this is an
early preparation such as Pottsville
has undertaken. Shenandoah has al.
ways been and is to-day the best base ball
town in the county, and money can be
made from the pastime by energetic and
judicious management. The franchise
for this town in the State League is a
| valuable Que and it is hOped it will not
be allowed to go to waste this year. If
the syndicate holding it does not wish tc
follow the routine that makes base bal
a success in other places it should bt
magnanimous enough to allow Others
who will do so to get possession on rea
sonable terms. Let the ball for '95 bt
started.

Some inquiries have been recently made
as to the whereabouts of ex-County Con-
troller Severn. To such as may have
anxiety on that score it may be stated
that Mr.. Severn still holds his residence
in this town and is very much in account
in the Republican circles of the county,
although he is now filling a position un-
der the Lehigh Valley Coal and Naviga-
tion Company at Audenried. Mr.. Severn
no doubt feels, as many of his friends do,
namely that it was not his fault that the
Controllers Act was unconstitutional and
that while it was in force he gave The
county taste Of the best administration
it ever had, consequently there should be
some disposition in the near future to re-
imburse him for the loss of time and
money to which he was subjected while
filling the Office.
