weeks ago, ArthqQri Il TIrYin, late manager of
the Toronto Eastern. League Club has been
secured by the Messrs. wagners to man
age the Washington club for the remainder
of the season and also for next year. 1t is
difficult matter to get line on the senti-
ment Of the local, base ball followers of
the gam, but the impression is almost
general tnat any manager will be an i'm
proveInent on the, bosses that handled the
club this year.
The one bright spot in Irwfn's favor is
that he has been promised absolute control
of the club, When Irwin took hold of the
club in 1892 Manager Barnie by great ener-
gy and foresight had collected together q
force of players that looked very strong
and their strength was proven by the Sena-
tors landing seventh in the first half of the
double season that year.
There is gainsa ying the fact that Ar
thur Irwin knows base ball from A to q,
as he has been firSt-class player in his
time and possessed brains enough to Jump
into the managerial class when his playing
days were over. His success with the Tor

a manager. Last year he and his men
were the laughing stock of the newspapers
