the league and the work it is accom-
plishing, more Of them would enroll
themselves under it's standard.
Several of the Minnesota members of
the L. A. w. assured Mr. Potter that
next year the work Of securing men,
bers will be prosecuted vigorously and
before the close Of the season Mime

SHAME UPON THE LAND.

Oh what shame that's over yonder,
On the hillside near the stream,
Where this youth that day did wander
And was murdered there and then.
In the wheat field there was waving
Near the darkness Of the night;
Sin and sorrow then were shaving
With this tragic, awful sight;
He for help perhaps was calling,
When the screams were heard 80 wild,
But this fatal act had fallen
Upon the temple Of this child.
Tbere upon this awful field of sin,
His pointed threat had carried through,
Distinctly heard by those two men
just what he said ''Me would do"
Oh what shame that's in the valley,
At Wooddale station, down the strealn,
Sin and sorrow here will tally
With the truth upon the scene.
While in the grave there hc was lying
And tho trees wore waving high.
With tho truth they were not trying
10 bring about the cause and why.
Oh. what shame that's on the people
Far and near this gulf of sin
Towering high among the steples
Where is seen this all has been.
Nothing fair from start to finish,
10 this innocent sons been given
In tho sight Of God diminished
And the truth from him been driven.
Shame upon this field Of Justice,
Not to give this man his right, 81,
Where to office they were trusted /. q
BY tho people hero in sight.
Shame upon tho land forever,
That would take u dead mans right.
And tho truth from him would sever ':
While ip the tomb he lies tonight.
Still tho shame Is not here resting
AS the truth leads Oh the main
To the ground that needs detecting
Whore this dear mothers son was slain.

The Boston team won the first game of
the Temple Cup series from Baltimore by
the score of 13 to 10. Nichols was balted
out of the box and Lewis substituted.
Nops pitched for the Orioles and Boston
secured IL hits off him. 81
During tho season Nichols won 80 and
lost II games.
Commenting on the financial end of tho
last baseball season, the New York Sun
says;
"The biz money makers were the Boston
and New York clubs. 1t is believed that
the Boston Club cleared nearly 500, 900, in
spite of tho fact that the South End
grounds are the smallest in the League.
The new champions drew larger crowds on
tho road than any other team and the at
tendance at home was phenomenal. inc
New York Club, in spito of its SlOJ,OOO ex-
penscs, had profitable season. 1t has
been stated that the club made $4,000, but
this is regarded as excessive.
"Tho Baltimore and Cincinnati clubs
will probably finish about so. 900 ahead of
game The ex.champions drew we'll on
the road, but the patronage at home fell
eff surprisingly. The Cincinnatis did not
begin to drop in the race until they had
finished their home schedule, and they re.
Geived the benefit of large attendances.
The Washington Club, 1t is estimated, will
be about $4,000 winner, If not more
Washington is good ball town, and the
cran,s have had a better team to patroniza
this year than ever before. Tho team, by
the way, finished higher in the racs than
at any time since tie Washington Club
has been member of the League. Chi
cago and Cleveland may make about Sl0,-
900 apiece or II trifle more. The Louisville
Club, strange as ii may sem, will hardly be
loser.
''Thc losing clubs are Philadelphia
Brooklyn, Pittsburg and st. Louis, Two
years ago the Philadelphia Club finished
third in the race and Reach and Rogers
We're reported to he moro than 100000
ahead of tho game. Last year they made
about s3O 600 with Il losing team, and this
year. with nine that has finished lower
than any previous Philadelphia team, the
financial loss is estimated ut anywhere be.
tween $50, 900 and $40, 900. The estimate Is
based upon the fact that only a5 cents ad-
mission to all bleachers and 80 cents ad-
mission to grand stand prevails in that
city. AS the team has been dragging along
in tIe rear almost from tho start, the at
tendance has been uniformly small.
