attention. I turned my head, and what
a spectacle was before me! number
of the citys mounted police, the rep
resentatives of the majesty of the
law, the upholders of the municipal
dignity, were riding solemnly before
a cortege of carriages. Who occupied
these carriages? High city officials.
officers of the Etate distinguished
citizens, visiting notables? By no
means. Each and every carriage con-
tanned men in cheap, snowy uniforms,
of which the caps and the knicker-
booker trousers were the prominent
features-in other words, the dis
tinguished guests of the city were a
team of base ball players!
PLAYED FOR MONEY.
"Now, don't wish to be misunder-
stood. Base ball is a good game, a
very good game, a wholesome, manly
game, free from many of the objec-
tions that attach to other games, such
as football. But base ball is no longer
treated as a game pure and simple.
People do not play base ball now-a-'
days-at least men do not-for the
purpose of mere health and recreation.
making money out of the public. Be
ing a money-making scheme, its man
ayers have been tempted to do many
things that they would not have un-
dertaken for the purpose of affording
an opportunity for healthful exercise.
The game. In fact, has become, in
several respects, decidedly demoraliz-
ing. So it is with all games Con-
fined to proper limits, played for the
accruing benefit of increased bodily
vigor and mental alertnesS, they serve
useful purpose in the community.
But when taken up by selfish, money
making managers as a method of Sc
curing the sale of admission tickets,
all other considerations are lost sight
of. Whatever will sell the most tick
cts is the thing to do. Sometimes a
moral feature can be adopted, but it
is never adopted because it is a moral
feature. Ordinarily, however, such
men find there is more money to be
made by going more or less against
the moral feeling of the communitys s
better elements. AT this point the
game has become demoralizing, and
here-here, l repeats the point to
stop.
Base ball, years ago, was justly
popular in our educational institu-
tions-in our public schools, in our
academies, in our great universities.
1t was played simply as d healthful
game. 1t was not played too often;
it was played by bona fide students,
it had no connection with gambling
or betting. The results of the univers-
ity games were scarcely known out
side of the college towns. Presently
the game became less of sport, in
the original and wholesome sense of
the term, and more of a profession.
Comparisons were made between the
playing of the different institutions.
Public interest was aroused Competi-
ton became go intense that expert

STORMY MEETING or DEMOCRATIC LEADERS
IN KENTUCKY.
Louisville, KY July 12.--An important confer
ence OF Democratic candidates for the United
States Senate and State offices. the Democratic
State Committee and prominent party leaders was

Hcndrick. Auditor Norman and John 8. Rhea.
The relation OF the candidates for Senator to the
State campaign the principal topic discussed.
Senator Blackburn took aggressive part In the
conference. He made a sensational speech at an
open meeting this afternoon. questioning the right
OF the State Committee to call him on the stump
TO dictate his policy. He declared that the State
platform. by indorsng the National Democratic
platform. did not eliminate the silver question
from the campaign. Cleveland and Carlisle con-
strued that platform In favor OF the gold stand
ard. but he and many other Democrats refused to
accept that construction.
Al secret conference that followed the open
meeting Senator Blackburn is said to have ntimated
that he would ignore the State Committee II II
sought to muzze him. and his friends say he Is
confident that majority Of the nominees on the
State ticket will repudate the platform and follow
him In his fight for free silver. II had been
ported that. at conference few days ago. all the
State candidates unanimously agreed 10 ignore the
currency ISSUE but this was denied to-day. The In
dicatons that the party leaders as far from
harmony on this issue az was the recent State con-
