wonder" ''He is" was my warm indorse- ment. "Do you know him?" inquired the stranger. "I-er-hem-havc seen him." was my saving reply. Just then the gates opened, and WIG went out into the night and the west.
 Thrco weeks later came back and pass ed through that same ferryhouse. Instinc- lively my eyes glanced around with a fear full trcpidation lest they should rest upon that inquisitive stranger. Ho was the last man on earth I wanted to meet again, for of the 16 games played since indorsed his good opinion of tho "Mets' manager we had lost all but one and our baggage. So as I recall this crsonal experience I am forced to discount Manager Mack's fame
 A month hence he may be off the pedestal,
 and another may be in his place. It may
 be Davis, Tebcau, Seele, HanlOn or Foutz
 Who can tell?
 In a recent interview at Cincinnati Mack
 gave mo tine credit for discovering and
 making public his real unabridged name,
 which, honest Injun, is Cornelius Magilli-
 cuddy. He says owned newspaper at
 Carthage, Mo, in 1889, which l sold to his cousins from Illinois; that his cousins told me his legal name, and that I came
 cast soon after and published it to tho world. That will do for an explanation, but his cousins did not put me on. Whats in q name anyhows It is his first season as a manager, and if he keeps up his sue cess to tho end it will not be Dennis nor Mud anyhow.
 AnSon has pronounced against Sunday l ball playing. Good for the grand old man 1 The loss of his mustache has not affected
 his brain. When Samson lost his locks 1 his strength was impaired. Ansc seems 1 to be affected differently. His hairless liI | gives him n clearer sight into the welfare
 of the game. This pronunciamento of thI ] Chicago chief is but the entering wedge 1 Keep your eyes on the National league. ! Sunday playing in its ranks is doomed. Next year neither the BroOklyns nor Bal
 timorcs will play Sunday games in the
 west, and the Chicagos will close their gates on that day. This is not a guess. 1 Stick pin in it. The result will be that the Sunday playing cities of the west | Cincinnati, St. Louis and Louisyille-will be left with no aid except it be from the 1 WashingtOns. Then will como the return to an eight club circuit, for neither St. 1 Louis nor Louisville can exist without lhe revenues from Sunday games.
 In tho National league race so far run 1 That foreSaw before the season opened has como to pass. Nearly every team is l weak in tho pitching department. Balti- i moro, Philadelphia and Boston have par licularly suffered in that point. The PhilicS arc in a lamCntable hole, and in spite of tho champions great work at but
 and in the field they arc heavily handicap ped "in the box" And New York is loom i Ing mp strong where tho rest are weak. Meckin and Rusic arc trotting in a clas, of their own. If they can keep it up, the Giants arc going to be dangerous. Mean while Cleveland, after a bad start, ha, dono we'll and Brooklyn and PlttSburs
 arc not disappointed with their represent atiycs. But the season is quite young, and baseball is mighty uncertain. O. P. CAYLoR Christian Science.

 My dear fellow, it is squared
 ''I don't think"
 That's just it. All you have to do to think it is squared, and it is squared. ! New York Recorder.
