A Serious Subject.

Led on by the comic papers and the
humorous paragrapher for the daily
press, our people have been inclined to
take a light and facetious view of the
American tramp. In point of fact, he
is personally sodden, impudent and in
tolerable; while, taken in the a2'gre-
gate, he presents a really serious prob
lem. Prof. McCook, who has made Il
thorough study of the matter, says thar
there are about 10000 tramps now in
this country, and that the number is
constantly increasing. 70 support
this horde of vagabonds costs the coun-
try something like $S,OoO,oOO Il year
Indirectly they probably cause the loss
of a still larger amount. Worse than
this, they form peripatetic school of
vice and idleness. The real tramp is
easily to be distinguished from the
unemployed man. lie is not cast down
or respondent. He does not want to
rise in the world; he has found his real
level in the gutter. lie desires only to
cat, TO drinE-to be drunk, perhaps,
would be the more accurate Phrase
and to be let alone. When he fails to
satisfy his wants, he becomes u dam
gerous criminal. In Indiana last spring
tramps took actual possession of an
entire village and drove its inhabitants
to the woods 1T is time to look at this
subject seriously. The tramp is pub

ers essayed to twirl for the derisions of
the league and all were made targets
of by the Quaker sluggers. Old Dan
Brouthers was in his glory and felt so
kittenish that, besides making two
singles and two baggers, he stole two
bases. The feat will go down in the
archives of history as the greatest
things ever done by the sage of Wap-
pinger Falls, who usually steals two
bases to the season. If the New Yorks
do not recall Rusie they will land at
the bottom next October.
So far this spring the left-hande,.
pitcher-he who throws the ball with
the wrong hand, especially wrong for
left-handed batters-has been remark
ably conspicuous. There are more good
left-handed pitchers in the league this
spring than for several seasons past,
and the growth of left-handed batting
makes their part of the business an i'm
portant one. When il is remembered
that about seven out of the first ten bat
ters last season were left-handers, and
that there are few left-handed hitters
whose frames do no tremble when they
face a southpaw pitcher, the value of a
good eft-handed twirler becomes appar-
ent. Most left handed batsmen are men
who are right-handed otherwise-throw
with their right hands-and these are
even easier for the southwinged ones
than those who use the left hand for
throwing.
Pittsburg has a fine pair of south
paws-Killen and Johnny Foreman,
Killen has already seen as much service
as most left-handers usually survive,
but is doing well this year-a strong,
clever pitcher, less wild than most OF
his variety. Foreman is the youngest
and smallest pitcher in the league, and
has some very puzzling ways about his
pitching, getting away with a majority
of his games last fall before the league
clubs could understand him.
