a few small bets on him. Pontus has
wintered well and has widened and

he has more than an outside chance to

There seems TO be quite diversity of
opinion concerning the Spring meeting
Of the National League magnates At St.
Louis recently, among sporting writer's.
some claiming that John r Brush. aided
by Hart and Robinson, placed the West
in the saddle and rode roughshod over
The East The West has now the ma
tio7al board by three members to one,
and the new board Of discipline by q
solid delegation. The Brush resolution
and the Brush anti-rowdy agreement
have been severely criticised as sham re-
forms that stand for nothing, except the
personal ideas Of Mr.. Brush.
On the other hand, it is claimed that
there is not baseball magnate who at
tended the meeting Of the league who
does not sing the praises of John T.
Brush, and hail him as the pioneer in
baseball reform movements. As a con-
vincing and forceful speaker, Brush has
not an equal in the league, and with the
AID OF Hart was able 10 exert powerful
influence over the other magnates. Rob
iuson and SOden are also strong sup
pOrters Of Brush and claim that he is
one Of the greatest baseball magnates
the league has ever known. The work
ings Of the new rules he advocated at
the meeting during the coming season
Viii demonstrate his wisdom and fore
sight, or the reverse, and his future in
fiuence with the league viii depend large

(Philadelph Pa. , Press. }

The report of the ''riot" at Harpers.
will, Miss, has q very familiar sound
1t is the old story of the lamb which
was killed for muddin che water be
low the point where the wolf was drink
ing. In other words, when a colored
man shoots in self-defense and one
white man and q dozen colored mar
are killed there is alwsys a heark-renG
ing story of terrible Negro atrocities'
All colored people are pursued into
sxamps and hunted and killed like
wild animals.
What are the facts in this cassr A
colored man named Burke was struck
by his employer white man named
Freeman. The colored man defended
nlnself, and the two men engaged in q
light in which freeman was justly pun
ished. But such thing as q coloreo
man, even IN self-defense, whipping Q
white man in Mississippi could not be
allowed. Hence it was given out that
Burke would be lynched.
The Associated Press report saws
the next night crowd of white men
headed by Wallace Sioley, who was
deputlzed to arrest the man. went 10
Burke's house. OF course, in Missis.
sippi, when they arrest a man they
wait until the might of the next day.n
and then ga crowd of men, go to HEN
man. who lie not q law officer. make
the arrest. The crowd are "a.lhuscad.
ed" with the result that nine Negroes
and one white man are killed. A ter
ribly effective ''ambuscade" that was,
to be sure.
And then we have the usual tale OF
the chivairous white men pursuing the
Negroes into swamps and shooting
them at sight. The Governor is on
hand, too, "counseling moderation %
Do not kill too many Negroes, is the
Injunction, and we are told that the
Governor will have great influence sin
restricting the number of fatalities af-
ter enough Negroes have been killed
TO satisfy the outraged feelings of the
whites in that section"
That is Mississippi of to-day. The
lesson the chivalreus whites of that
state seek to impress by this whole
sale murder is that when a white man
seeks to whip colored employee the
latter must not strike back, and il he
does do so he must allow himself to be
lynched without objection. Such il
