Speaking of the Lynch and Hurst fights
president Hart says: 1T Is getting so that
game Is tame unless there is fight Such
scenes hurt base ball l am trying to
frame up a rule which will stop such ac-
tons. Half of the magnates of the league
have not abided by their votes Such
scenes must be stopped and the league
must uphold the umpires or stultify itself.
The umpires can protect themselves with
out fighting. They ought to put men out

is the makeup of the Baltimore team-the
1act that several of Hanlon's champions
who would give a mortgage on their ball
parks to have those players now For in
stance. Cleveland was never in love with
Jack Doyle, and gave him little show with
thinner and O'Connor., He was cheerfully
turned over to New York-and now look at
him! Reftz was asking for. league job a
long time; he was a Chicago prairie boy,
and Arson could have asked him to sign a
contract any morning. Jennings was so
feeble-in the minds of the Louisville peo-
ple-that they traded him and Harry Tay-
Tor for Tim OROurke! Note the compare
tive rank in base ball of Tim and Hughey
now. Joe Kelley, Boston boy, made his
debut with the bean destroyers years back
and was counted too light. Arson had Jake
StenzeEintroduced him to the league. He
also turned Jacob down after about three
games. Billy Keller had trials with New
York and Brooklyn and was thrown out
neck and heels. He's the ling of ball play
ers today. AS fielder, vsiugser, base runner
and winning player There lives not his
equal. When he is compared with Lange,
our own William suddenly takes a down
shoot. Washington. the April 1 brick Of
the league-because everybody who comes
along takes a kick al itihad Joe Corbett
