Caylor Tells the Inside History Of the
Rusie Case.

The opening games Of the National
league championship showed unusual en- !.
thusiasm all along the circuit which must
be forcrunncr Of certnirly prosperous
season. In the seven games, including
that at Boston on Patriots day, $1,000
spectators witnessed the sport. Truly base
ball is our national sport.
AS usual some of these opening games
wero surprises in their results The Phil
most surprising of all. The Bostons' weak
showing and the Clcvelands' unexpected
defeat at Louisville attracted the most at
tention from the rooters
Opening week was made additionally
noteworthy by the sudden and satisfactory
ending of the celebrated Rusie case. A
fund was raised by eight of the League
clubs which paid all attorneys fees and
costs in Rusic's suits, wheroupon at the
pitchers own request these suits were dis
continued and he gracefully returned TO
tho discipline Of his club and at the lat
ters long standing terms. Rusie Is ox-
trcmely pleased to be once more In the
ranks and promises TO make up for his bad
ly advised actions of the last year.
Two notable figures In baseball are about
to be publicly honorcd. Tribute will be
paid to the memory of one, but TO tho 9TH
er in person. A monument Is the Offering
of the friends Of the national game To their
veneration for the name Of the late Harry
Wright. A silver service Is the token of es-
teem to be presented TO the very much alive
Adrian G.. Anson. Ii took years time In
which to raise the fund for the Harry
Wright monument, but the committee hav-
ing the matter in charge announces that it
is ready to place and dedicate the marble
column, and II has asked that 10 may
