A base Ball Crank Complains Of the
management.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star
Permit an old-time crank" the use or
your valuable columns for word or two
touching the Washington Base Ball Club
l have always been an ardent admirer of
the national game. and used to vigorously
root for tie local team in the old DAYS
when Washington was represented by
clubs that We were all proud of, but of
late years have become so disguised with
the management. Or. rather mismanage-
ment, of the game in this city that rarely
go to game. Not that / have lost inter-
est In the sport, however. Some three
years ago. after much tribulation of spirit
vowed never again to patronize the game
until l saw disposition on the part of the
management to conduct the business on a
higher plane than the mere making of
money. And here Is the point in a nutshell
that wish to convey to the Washington
base ball public. The present management
Is in the business solely for the money that
Is In 1t. They are non-residents of Wash
lnston and have no pride in the city: and
their lack of local pride or desire to have a
winning team is evidenced by the fact that
they are constantly weakening the nine by
selling the most valuable of the PLAYERS
My own opinion Is that we will never make
creditable showing in the league race un-

WITH THE SENATOR'S,
What John Heyller Learned ON the
Western Trip.

What John Heydler Learned ON the
Western Trip.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
So much has been said and written in
censure of the course pursued by Mr.. Wag-
ner. in disposing of Capt. Joyce and re-
turning Mr.. Schmelz to the bench that I
deem 1t but matter of common justice, as
one of two outsiders who accompanied the
Washingtons on the late western trip, to
write in plain words what l have tried to
intimate In former correspondence--that
the Washington club during that disastrous
period was a demoralized aggregation. The
writer has high regard for Capt. Joyce
as a hustlins player, and a sood-heart-
ed and easy-going gentleman off the dia-
mond, but he the writer is only express
ing his honest opinion. and the opinion of
nearly all western base ball WRITER'S when
he says that Joyce. in the role of man
ager. was failure.
Because Mr.. SchmelZ was travelling with
the club as it's business manager was GER
tainly no excuse for the absence Of team
work in the club, and as the captain him
self was most lax in the proper playing
of the game, he naturally failed to i'm
press his men with the necessity of play
Ing right. While the great majority of the
Senators liked Joyce personally, 1t was no
uncommon occurrence to hear them muir
muring, after a defeat, that they had not
played the game right and it also SEEM
ed a fact potent to all that Bill was out
for batting average
AS far as Mr.. SchmelZ Is concerned he
certainly deserves credit for keeping hands
of on the trip. He not only steered clear
of players in hotels, on the road and on the
ball field. but refused time and again to
enter into conversation with the writer and
others concerning the team, or any indi-
v!dual player. Eor would he comment on
the bad plays made by the club. He was
business manager and nothing more
AS 1t was shown without question that
Joyce was not getting the work out of his
men, 1t Is hard matter to see how Mr..
Wagner could have done differently than
ne dld. He surely could not have appo;nt-
eo another captain and placed him over
joyce! Such move would have been as
disastrous as elevating Mr.. SchmeIz to
manager while Joyce was still member of
the team, An exchange of players was the
only way to solve the problem, To ba SO
pal! fans who know what Farrell can do
ana Will DO when satisfied as to salary (anI
ne IS satished here), the recent deal is CON
S,oered 10 be even up. and the $500 and

The splendid work of the team in the
Boston series just closed ought to be proof
stmclent mat Washington has not lost Nv
the exchange, and that all members Of
the team are now pulling as hard for Man

The Great Nuremberg TOurnamen
Among Warrington Players.


The Nuremberg tournament Is nearing
completion. As this is written. sixteen
rounds have been played. leaving three yet
to be played. Lasker has secured a COM
manding lead and ought to finish one IL
not two points ahead Of his nearest COM
petitor. He has yet to play Charousek

The next eight players have been bunch
ed for some time. and it has bs,n innpos-
sible to guess which of Pillsbury. Maroczy,
Tarrasch. Walbrodt. Janowski. Schlechter
Steinitz and Tschigorin would flush ahead
Ten days ago Tschigorin's chances were
considered good for first place. but he has
lost repeatedly since then. and he now
stands ninth. Janowslxi, Walbrodt Stein
itz and Schlechter have also dropped the
past week. while P1nsbury and Tarraseh
have come forward and taken position be-

chances OF finishing second are superior.
