again his interest is absorbed in the
race for the championship pennant for
1895. The long struggle for supremacy
on the baseball diamond will begin on
April Is and from that date to the clos
ing Of the league season at the end of
September the play will be as nearly
continuous as bad weather and the in
tervening Sundays will permit.
Each club will play twelve games
with each of the other clubs-six at
home and six abroad-a total of one
hundred and thirty-two games for each
club. The schedule has some noticea-
bly, good features this year which are
quite new. Many of the series of games
will be broken up instead of being
played consecutively. A western team
In the east will not play three games
with New York, three with Brooklyn,
three with Boston and so on, but in
many cases will play in New York, then

All agree that the prospects for good
ball, large profits and extended public
interest We're never brighter. and the
cranks are looking forward with I'M
bounded enthusiasm. OF course each
city has its ''rooters." and all are
equally confident of the ultimate vic
tory Of their fayorite teams. but the
league race is yet to be run. and all
predictions are necessarily hazardous.

are very optimistic, but there seems to
be good reason for the great horde of
Metropolitan ''rooters" to believe their
team will land near the top of the
heap-if not on the very apex of the
pyramid-this season. Last year wound
up in blaze of glory, for although the
Giants finished second to the Baltimore
Orioles, they were virtually the cham
pions. In the special series OF games
for Temple cup played directly after
the close of the regular league season,
they won -four straight victories from
the Baltmorcans.
This spring there have been a num-
Der Of important changes in the team,
its players and its managers. In the
first place Andrew Freedman, a New
York real estate dealer, has bought
out a controlling interest in the club
and now directs its movements.
Eddie" Talcott and others of the old
board Of directors had got tired sinking
money In baseball, and we're glad to
sell out their interests in the manage
ment Of the Giants. Freedman has
started with unbounded enthusiasm.
He has secured number Of new play
ers, and has retained almost all of last
years strong team.
The chief loss to the club will be in
famous old Johnny" Ward. the cap
tain, manager and crack second base
man of last years team. Ward is now
a past master in the art of baseball,
and has grown almost too old for the
game. lie has started in to study law,
and has given up baseball for good.
His old place at second base will be

and is one of the most reliable men on
the team. With such quartette of
pitchers as Rusie, MeelSin, Clark and
German, and perhaps Rnauss, the new
man, to fall back on. New York will be
strong in that department, which Is
half the game in itself.
Buck" Ewing, the famous ex-cap-
tain of the New York Giants, has been
signed to captain the Cincinnati team,
and will cover first base for them this
season. Ewing played with the Cleve-
land team last year, until his arm gave
out again, when he gave up for the
season. This year his arm seems to be
in good shape, and Buck" is back on
the field again. Cincinnati is his native
city, and Ewing seems glad to get back
with the people he knew so well before
he came east to play with the Giants.

ers are glad to secure the services of
Hawley. for they believe him to be a
really remarkable twirler. as do many
Of those in the east. Last fall Hawley
pitched for st. Louis in the last series
OF games against the Boston team, and
by his fine work in beating the Beam
eaters three straight games materially
aided New York to win second place in
the race for the league championship
pennant.
There have been a number of changes
in the playing rules this year, most of
which seem to be aimed at the better
enforcement of the present laws rather
than new ones. The umpires will be
governed by much more stringent rules
than heretofore, and will be subject to
fine, just as the players are. Another
feature will be that the management
of the teams will not be allowed to paw
the fines of their players. All have
agreed not to do this, and the men
fined must pay out of their own money.
This will reduce the kicking and other
boisterous work Of the unruly players
somewhat by their fear of loss fnan-
cially. Noisy coaching, swearing and
talking back to the umpires will be Sc
verely treated this summer.
As to other changes, perhaps the
most important is that which declares
that foul tip caught within ten feet
of the plate will be counted as a strike
this year No players other than the
catcher and first baseman will be
allowed to wear big mits. and only
small gloves will be allowed to other
tielders and basemen. Owing to the
confusion on the question OF base run
ming on short fly hits. the umpires this
year will call out at once on ea h tiy
ball when two men are on bases and
there IS not more than one ont. .hc.her
the ball is an inield or an outAeid hit.
On the former the base-runner> cannot
be forced ont, and on the latter tney

out its chief features and showed that

said. made the existence of creatures. il

slowly losing their former notions that
there were nothing and nobody in the
universe except the world and man.
There We're other worlds. however,
which. As far a. human intelligence

hahitation, hut were gradually assum-
ing conditions which might ultimately
make life possible. The lecturer held
the opinion that many years hence
some means of mental communication
with the denizens of the other planets
might be established. In the present
days of marvellous discoveries in science
all things seemed possible, and the estab-
li>hment of intercommunication of
some kind between this earth and the
beings of the planets did not seem more
improbable or impossible than the send
ing of 4 telegraph message from Eng
