PITCHER EMERSON mAwLEY, PIrTSECRGS. and religion. Cotton and nitric acid arc very nrcr- ,ary and useful in their Scpa- tato states. But unite them chemically and you have gun cotton, an agent power full enough tU destroy cities. So it Is with religion and Ga~,lall. Both are commend able in their separate estates. But they don't mix. Billy sunday and tho noted Stagg found that out long ago.
 Yet q basrball player should be entitled to his religious beliefs without being in suited or bitTcd in the jaw therefor. If Mir. McC Car;hy wishes to go 10 church two nights in a week, he should havc that un- restricted privilege provided he is back at his hotel by II o'clock, If MT. Stivctts de- SiroS to hold that many arc called but few are chosen, he should bo entitled to the be- lief without having his face disflSured.
 But whatever caused the commotion in tho Boston team the disgrace of 1t should not be passed by. Bascball players ovo 1t to tho profession to conduct themselves de gently in public, and when they shock tho scn.c of Gcntility, as did Mccarthy and StivCtts their nets should not bo passed unroprovcd. Tho greater tho famo of the offenders tho grCat"r bCcolncs tho offcnSo.
 Memorial day has once moro served to show tho great love people of America
 
 games attracted nearly 10000 people
 New York once moro broko tho record with between 33, GOO and 34, GOO at the two games. Philadelphia turned out 2S, GOO, Bru0AIvn l, 00O. Boston Ia, 3,G00, Baltimore Q, loo Gnd Washington s, 800. In New York city as much ,S Sl 5O was paid for TO- served seat nHd EO murmur madc about It.. Western teams have started In on their first eastern tour and alrCady thcro arc in dication; thnt the trip will, as a whole, bo diS:lst ruus tu western ambition. Tho best that can l,o predicted for tho western load CTS k that hy the 4th of July the four strongest eastern club, promise to bc right up in hurch with the western quartet of | May leaders.
 Tho pittshurr, lead depends entirely upon th., abilities uf tl'cir pitchers. One year aga on Decoration day the Pittsburg team led with Fl victories and nino de | fCats. This year on the corresponding date | they had 23 games won and had lost only eight Yet, principally on account of weak
 ness "in the box, tho team of 1894 ended | in the sccund division.
 The club has been greatly strengthened | this year by the acquisition of Emerson | Hawlcy. Recognizing it's greatest weak
 ness, tho Pittshurg club last spring or win, ! ter looked around for a first class pitcher. 1 Hawlcy was tho best obtainable. VOn der l Ahe needed money. So n trade was ar ranged whereby the Browns got EhrVt and
 $3, 800 cash for Hawlcy. It was good bar l gain on Pittsburg's part. Hawlcy, as | said before, classes with Rusic, Meckin, | Nichols and Young. He has a tremendous I physique and will last. He should grow | stronger as the weather gets hotter. HC
 made his rcputatiOn as member of the ! Fort Scott semiprOfcsSional team, and Won
 der Ake trnnSplantcd him to the National
 league. Now he stands close up tO the
 front rank and will give Rusio n race. 1 If Hart, Eillcn and Colcnlough among
 them can give Hawlcy fair amount oi
 help the Pittsburg club will end tho 1895 race much farther up than it finished last
 year. O. P. CAYLoR
