SIX CLUB LEAGUE
 IS ASSURED
 s1 - h The Magnates Will Meet Here Tomorrow to Reorganize AND ARRANGE A SCHEDULE  Savannah Stranded in Mobile and Pitcher StultzWas Signed by the LOcals-The
 Makeup of the League Is
 Yet Uncertain.

Secretary Allan L. Eaton telegraphed the Age-Herald from New Orleans last night that a six club league was assured.
 Representatives of the different clubs will
 meet in this city tomorrow for the pur- pose of reorganizlng and arranging sched-
 ule for the remaining clubs.
 Just what clubs will compose the circuit is at present an unknown quantity. Since Savannah has stranded in Mobile, only six
 clubs are left. Augusta. # is claimed, has been little shaky, but it is intimated that
 matters have been patched up and the
 club will continue to play ball. It is said that Charleston is now placed in very bad position, owing to the dis tanee from the other cities. By many.
 however, it is thought that by being at the top of the ladder they will be boosted
 up by home capital and continue the season. It is also advanced by some that the lead- CTS may be transferred to Montgomery. In any event, Secretary Eatons telegram is reassuring, and it is certain that cir cult of six teams will go on batting for the pennant
 Locals In Good shape The coal barons are in good shape and with the winning streak they have struck will continue, to have good crowds. Salaries were paid Saturday and the exchequer is in | good condition.
 | Manager Haller is now in the race for the l penant. He is strengthening the team in every way possible Another new pitcher has been signed and it is possible that more changes will follow. When the Savannah team disbanded in Mobile yesterday, Pitch CT Stultz at once ate1egraphed for job. Terms were wired, he accepted and ad- vance money was sent him last night. He
 was Savannah's best pitcher and will
 naturally add to the strength of the home team. Whether this new acquisition will
 cause some one to walk the plank, Manager Haller will not say.
 The dispatch from New Orleans Sunday
 n ght in regard to the formation of a six
 club league was very vogue. It is thought that the magnates fired Savannah for over
 stepping the salary limit, before the news
 of her disbandng came. This had been
 quite thorn in the side of the other teams,
 and they were all down on the grand
 dadies."
 Manager Leonard of the Augusta team is in New Orleans and he, with Secretary
 Eaton, of the locals. will arrive here to- day.

BASE BALL GOSSIP.

bABE bAAsL 0OoSAIs
 scrappy Dick Knox left last night for home. Knox was not such bad ball pay CT as some of the local fans gave him credit for being. He was roasted from the beginning. This, of course, made him sore, and then he had finger badly bruised, and this in measure, accounted for his poor work.
 The people who said Manager Ha1ler could not hit or throw are just now open- ing their eyes. He comes up with good batting average in every game, and yester- day he got onto Stewart for two three baggers and single. In Saturdays game a ball was hit to him while man was on third. Haller made good throw, caught him at the plate, and the ball was returned to first in time to make a double
 LaPorte's home run yesterday was the longest ball ever knocked on the home grounds. It hit the bicycle track in ieft and didn't stop until it collided with the fence.
 The ladies' day feature is proving quite attractive. There will be three rattling good games with Augusta, and doubtless the ladies will come out in large numbers.
 The coal barons are just now playing good ball. This morning they are in third place and Manager Haller Is determined to gain instead of losing ground. He VIII not tolerate any late hours or "boozing among the players. With all due kindness of feeling there is one hard-working little player on the team who had better mend his ways. He has played good ball. but ne cannot continue to do so and Keep late hours Manager Haller does little talking, but he is hard to fool and keeps the boys together well.
 Streaker will pitch this afternoon, while Mains will probably do the twirling for the visitors.

CONCERNING BOOKS.

The Hampers have new book by Du
Maurier, whom we all love, for his Trilby,
and for hi1nsalf. The volume is entitled
'Social Pictorial Satire; "reminiscences
and Appropriations of English illustrators
of the Past Gsneration;" is fully illus
and has as q frontispiece, an ex-
celIent portrait of the author, from an
unpu blished London photograph.
Du Maurier never touched a subject,
but with artistic fingers, and there is a
personal charm in the lightest lines from
his pen. In this -posthumous volume he
treats of the artists who, like himself,
have been exclusively devoted to the pic
lures in black and white, which shall
equal tho literary satire of the times,
and which are themselves satires in pen
ell. The men who have done this are
few, beginning with Hogarth, and re-
fined in later days to Du Maulier him.
self, and to John Leech and Charles
Keene, of whom this charm ing volume es-
pecially treats.
Du Nlaurier says that the artists of So,
cial and Pictorial Satire appeal to two
classes, other artists and the public. OF
these he considered Leech of the former,
and Keene of the latter category. Lesch
was SO extremely English and insular
that he is not SO popular, out Of his own
country. dis Keene, who was broader in
his interests and instincts. Du Maurier
writes. stI hoard a cp1abratad Frapcb
painter say: He is o great man, your
Charles Keene; he take pen and ink
and bit of paper, and wiz half dozen
strokes he know 'ow to frame gust of
wind!' 1 think myself tina Leech could
frame a gust of wind as etfectually as
keene, by the sheer force of his natural,
untaught instipct-of his genius" {.
And comparing Leech's pictures to the
simple melodies of "Home, Sweet Home, -
and "The Last Rose of Summer" which
go straight to the heart, Du Maurier
adds: "Leech's art seems to me of just
such happy kind: he draws-I mean he
scores like an amateur who has not made
very profound study of harmony, and
sings his pretty song TO his simple &C.
compartment with so true and sweet a
natural voice that we are charmed. 1t is
the magic Of nature, whereas Keene is a
verJ Sebastian Bach in his counter
point.
This delightful volume contains por-
traits of both Keene and Leech, as we'll
as specimens Of their drawings, and those
of Du Maurier. One does not need to
recommend this book, the authors name
is enough.
Other new books recently published
by the Hampers are "The Golficide," by
W. g. Van 7. Sutphen; "Senorita Mon
tenar," by Archer p. Crouch; and "Four
for Fortune" by Albert Lee. OF the

OcHhsOF rye Is 9uOueu lbs say ing tiat
there has been more cry for protection
from people along the sea coast of Maine
than from Florida, which is near to the
Tcene of hostilities. He may not have
made the statement. but there can be
little doubt that there has existed, and
still exists, a great deal moro anxiety on
the part of people upon our seaboard than
there is any reason for. 1t is within the
bounds of possibility that a Spanis-i ship
may como on TO our coast and fire
is extremely improbable that any thing
Of the kind will occur. If the Spaniards
had ships enough to keep our fleets in
check and some to spare, they might send
the latter along our coast to destroy
property from pure wantonness, and it
is not improbable that their disposition
would be to do SO. AS the case is, if they
sent feet of several ships to the coast OF
Maine they would be almost certain to
lose them, for Commodore Schley's
squadron would be quickly aware of their
presence and cut off their retreat. A
hombardment of Maine coast towns could
not be- undertaken except at very great
risk of loSing the vessels engaged in it.
Indeed their loss would be almost GER
tain. Such risk would not be
taken by sane men unless the possible
gain would be commensurate with 1t.
But all the destruction of property that
could be accomplished along the maine
coast would be absurdly out of proper
ticn to it. How extremely improb-
allie it is that Spain would take such a
desperate chance for SO small stake
can be realized by reversing the case.
Suppose one Spanish feet to be at Cadiz
and the feet that recently left Cape
Verde to be at some other port on or close
to the Spanish seaooast, what would be
the u yht of the proposition to send some
of our ships across the ocean to lombard
Spanish towns? Everybody on this side
of the Atlantic would think that it
would be exceedingly foolhardy, and
that the chances would be that our
ships would never come back again. 1t
would be just as foolhardy for Spain to
send her vessels to lombard our coast.
When Spain clears the sea of our fleets,
then she may undertake thu bombardment
of our coast cities and towns. But not
until that is done will Bar Har Dor or
Portland or Boston be in the slightest
danger What the chance is of SPANS be-
ing able to accomplish that task may be
inferred from the result Of the battle at
Manila, where nearly all of her ships
were destroyed and not one of ours seri.
ously injured.
