the hltterS OF last season in the 800 class,
me records of 1898 show A batsmen in
the 300 class. while 81 sluggers are en-
tered in the mi of the 300 elect this
year, with Delahanty and Burkett over
the 400 notch.
1T was a matter of general comment
and speculation last season that the bat
ting was surprisingly tame. and many
theories were advanced as to the reason
for this light hitting.
Some argued that the balls We're of
poor quality, though I never had any
faith in this theory. others held h the
1leld1ng had improved, especially the work
OF the intielders. who covered more
ground, so the argument went, than ever
pefofe. But the players, or rather, those
who We're not pitchers, held the twirlers
responsible. claiming that the pitcher
was surely but slowly restoring himself
to his old aggressive position as car and
master OF the diamond. and would, With
IN a year or so, be as effective as when
the old hop,step and jump and 45-foot
distance We're permitted. Perhaps self
interest prompted this argument, as the
player naturally wants to increase his
batting average, and nothing but another
tiVe-foot increase in the distance would
boom their records.
II am not prepared to advance any par
tlcular theory as to the cause of the in
crease in batting. 1t is a question that
defies analysis. One would naturally
look for a decrease in hitting because of
the Increase in pitching skill that natur-
ally comes of constant practice. All 1
can say is that the batsman gave finer
exhibitions with the bat this year than
at any time in the past several years. 1t
VIII be many years before the pitcher will
be called to face another five-foot impost.
When such young and skilful pitchers as
Taylor of Chicago and Waddell and Phil
llpI of Louisville came into the league last
spring | looked for a decrease in hitting,
but was pleasantly fooled. because lively
batting is the most popular feature of
up-to-date ball"

Ringside, Coney Island, Sporting Club.
New York, Nov. 3.-James j. Jeffries re-
tains the championship of the world.
Referee Siler giving him the decision at
the end of the t~wenty-fifth round over
Sailor Tom Sharkey at the Coney Island
Sporting club tonight.
1t was one of the most remarkable
battles that has taken place and the
greatest crowd that ever gathered in
the Coney Island club house witnessed
the desperate struggle for supremacy.
In five rounds Jetfries had the better
of the fight-in the first TWO and the last
three. During the other 20 Sharkey
forced the issue, and like a bull terrier,
was at his man with both hands UNI
ceasingly. In these twenty rounds jeff
ries' great weight and Drawn helped him
to hold off the sailor, and in the tWen-
ty-second round he swung a couple of
vicious upper-cuts that made Sharkey
groggy. Tom came back in the twenty
fourth and twenty-fifth, but he was
weakened greatly by Jeffries' vicious
blows. One minute before the gong
sounded to end the fight Jeffries' left
glove came off, and practically the con-
test was over.
The referee motioned to Jeffries' corner
champions shoulders and the crowd on
that side and end of the arena cheered
wildly. The crowd on the opposite side
and end, in Sharkey's corner. yelled for
S~harkey. and the men were led back to
their dressing rooms.

THE communication closes with the state
ment that men of high scientific position
have usually been found unwilling to subject
themselves to examination, and that the
Smithsonian Institution has for more than
half a century secured to the government
the services of eminent men by selections
from the whole body of American science.
1t was upon representations like this that
the President was induced to make the ex-
ceptions indicated in that section of Rule 4.

lated the rules. or allowed them to be vio-

and most valuable shield against the in
trusive solicitation of politicians. But i try
not to be a bigot, either in religion or poll

devised by the human mind. A larger ex-
perience and wider outlook ought to and
