Captain Anson was to be dropped from

Captain Anson was to be dropped from
the management of the Chicago team
Mr.. Spalding said:
'It is delicate subject for me to talk
| about, for have sentimental feeling
for Anson, as we once played ball to-
gether. 1 have taken pains as a medi-
ator to find out from Chicagoans how
they feel about a change of manage
ment. There is a decided undercurrent
in favor of this latter. Lovers of base
| ball think that Anson has been in power
too long. Though holding such an opin-
| ion, they in no wise mean to criticise
Ansons management or playing. They
point to the fact that they have had the
old man for twenty-five years and use
| it is an argument for wanting a new
| face"
ball club, like a theater or any other
form of amusement enterprise, if it de-
sires to succeed, must cater to the pub
| lie. A player is retained on a team only
by virtue of the approval of those who
patronize the sport. In this matter of a
change the Chicago club has been in a
most embarrassing position. Anson has
been loyal and has shown his integrity
and his honesty and has done herculean
work in helping to build up the national
game.
"The club wants to take care Of An
son." continued Mr.. Spalding. " He nat
urally looks to me, for, as have said,
we have played ball together years and
years ago. On our recent trip to Eu-
rope we talked the matter over. His ten
years contract will be up next Tues
day. Nothing definite has been done re-
garding his successor and will not be
until matters with Anson are satisfac-
torily arranged"
"Who do you think will be manager,
Tom Burns?" was asked.
Really, do not know, although no.
body could be better than he," was Mr.,

THE LAW OF LIBEL
Rebuke of Lobbying Is N OF Criminal

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 29.-Today the jury
| in the libel suit of Charles B. Starl
| against the republic rendered verdict ir
favor of the defendant Stark was the
attorney of the old school board which
was ousted out of existence last winter
The Republic charged that the board S
attorney was at the head of corrupt
lobby at Jefferson City opposing the re-
form measure. Stark brought suit for
damages. In his instructions to the
jury Judge Spencer clearly laid down
the doctrine that when public corpor-
alton or public body employs an agent
to influence legislation, it transcends its
powers and commits an unlawful act,
which justifies the criticism that it and
its agents are engaged in corrupt lob
bying and that such acts can properly
be criticised, commented upon and re-
buked by any paper or individual in any
appropriate and proper terms.

CRoKER'S QUALITY
Takes the Irish Railroad Workme en- by
Surprise


NEW YORK, Jan. ga dispatch to
the World from Dublin says: The in
dustrial world is having an object les
son in the Bsmarckian masterfulness
of the Croker family. 1t has attracted
general attention to an otherwise in
significant strike on the Cork, Bandon
and South Coast railway. Richard
Croker's brother is the manager of that
railroad. The men had scarcely left
work on a strike when he gave them an
unexpected taste of his quality. Instead
Of negotiating for a compromise, Crok-
Ter issued inStanter a statement declar-
ing that they had acted illegally and to
the danger and injury of the public by
quitting work without notice. He
warned the men that they would all be
prosecuted with the utmost rigor; that
their places would be filled Immediately,
and that no one, under any circum-
stances, would be reinstated in the COM
lpany's service.
AS final blow, when the chief secre-
tary of the Amalgamated Society of
Railway Servants of Great Britain went
especially to Cork to negotiate with the
company, Manager Croker absolutely
refused to see him or to recognize the
right of the society to interfere.
These high-handed and Draconian
measures have excited the intense ad-
miration of Croker's fellow railway
managers, and if he can carry out his
daring program he will have inaugur-
ated a new era in the history of railway
strikes. Up to the present time he has
not succeeded in filling the mems places,
but all traffic is being kept up on the
railway, the clerks acting as guards and
porters. Croker himself is working
night and day in that capacity, actuted
by his firmly expressed resolution to
fight the strikers "to the bitter end"
