In 1883 the Worcester club was organ
lied by MIR. Bu-nham who built new
ball grounds and put the club ON mag
nifioent financial basis at she start. This
season in the New Englanass league was
one of the most remarkable in it's history.
The Worcester club finished In the second
position and lost the cham pionship in an
unfortunate. manner, baing beaten out by
Lowell by three points. The Lowell club
had three games forfeited to them by
Portsmouth which had failed TO put In
an appearance to play the games sohed-
uled and in this way Lowell won the
championship. In 1889 the Worcester
club under Mr.. Burnham's management
Joined the Atlantic league and won the
championship. The season Of go Mr..
Burnham managed the New Haven club
in the Atlantic association and won the
championship.
In 1891 Mr. Burnham remained in New
Haven and went into the Eastern league.
The club was doing well and was in fact
in the fourth position when the club was
disbanded August II for want of sup
port. In 1892 Manager Burnham went
to Providence, organised stock COM
pany and placed ball team in the East
ern league. This year the ball season
was divided into equal halves and the
Providence team won the championship
in the first of the season. In the last
half of the season the Binshampton, N.
Y, team won the championship and
also won out in the play off. In 1893, Mr..
Burnhsm still remained In Providence
and managed the ball team. The Provi-
dence team this year were tail enders
from the start on account Of series of
unfortunate mishaps. In 1894 Mr.. Burn
ham was not engaged in baseball but
the next year be went to Augusta and
managed that team during most suc-
cessful season in which the lively young
ster put up as good game as any team
in the league. In 1896 Mr.. Burnham was
in Brockton where he managed the ball
team there and stood third when the
season ended. He will also probably
manage this team In 1897.

game that he entirely broke up the New

from scoring many goals.
City hall was packed to overfiowine
Saturday night and nearly every one ex-
pectsd TO witness the home teams de-

city have that reputation Of being almost
invinoinle and If Portland held thssn
down to few goals the crowd would
have been satisfied.

the floor one by one they were given al
encouraging ovation which meant as
plainly as words would have done, fol

their dirty work. They violated every

put up all manner of dirty tricks te

Providence This is his first year Of play

SENSE IN DELAWARE.

Down In Delaware they have hit tie nali OH
the head. That State has unenviable notorety
as n land where bribery fOurishes and voters
are purchased like sheep. The Constitu'ionai
Convention now in session had before it the
other day a proposition TO punish bribe takers
by fine and Imprisonment and TO try them De-
fore a board Of Judges instead OF submitting
their cases TO jures. This, OF course, was de-
nounced as .'monstrous," but by vote of ~ TO
Z il was carried. and an article denying III"
right of n witness TO refuse to give testimony
on the ground that he might be incrimnated
for n similar offence was also carried.
This denial of trial by jury is radical step
but II marks a distinct understanding or the
conditions which have made political corrup'
tion so prevalent. and in Delaware have given
n standing invitation for the wealthy adven-
turer TO buy the State. The real reason that
te-buying and every other form OF dishonest
notifies flourishes is that the people are willing
they should flourish No caucus would be
hacked and no ballot-box stuffed and no bribe-
givcr sent TO the Legislature il the voters in
the precincts where these practices are per-
fectly well known really cared TO stop them
On the contrary, they find it incOnvenient TO
oppose the brlbe-gver because he can get Dllls
duccd to convict a brbe-aker because TOO often
they have gagged in the same occupation. AL
least that is the experience In Delaware.
Voters would not repudiate corruption ana
juries would not convict cOrruptionlsts. Ihere
they have the courage 10 face the SITUATION
souarcly. They do not make any question Of
saving i'm their convention that the electorate
is almost hopeessly corrupt and that the only
way TO preserve the State is 10 save the voters
from themselves long enough to permit them
10 outgrow their bad habits. II is hoped that
severe penalties enforced by judges and not
left to Jurors, will revive the latent honesty and
manhood Of the Delaware citizenship
1t is Il sad state of affairs, but there is hope
for a community which. instead Of indulging In
humbug gets right at the point Of It's troubles.
1t is not hattering to a people devoted to uni
yersal suffrage to be told that their politics are
corrupt because the individual citizens encour-
age corruption. But that statement exactly
fits the situation in other States than Della
ware We indulge in great deal Of pious non
sense about our wicked politicians who give us
bad laws 1t is the handful Of voters in each
community, with the power to control its vote
in every case II they will. who. year after year,
permit the wicked politician to reign because
they fear TO prosecute crimes committed for
him and want his favor for their personal
schemes. 1t is they who invite bad govern
ment, lust as il is the purchasable voters OF
Delaware who invite the purchaser.
