In spite OF the fact that the National
league managers are up to their necks in
fractional fights there is every reason to
believe that the baseball season that is APP
preaching will be more successful than for
several years., OF course it cannot be de-
MED that many important changes have
been made n the method of EsAnaging the
sport, and it is true that s2e of these
innovations have been the cause of much
trouble and discord. but with all this the
popular interest in the game Is greater
than ever, and the assurance that the
changes that have been made win all tend
to make cleaner class of sport has done
much to make the lovers of the game over
look the rumors of war with which the at
mosphere has been charged for so many
months.
Today more people are talking about base
ball than ever before, and there is not a
move that is made on the managerial chess
board that is not discussed with the great
est interest in every walk of life. The st.
Louis muddle was a fruitful source of gos-
sip, the observation-disclosures combination
caused no end of discussion, and there have
been countless opinions in regard to the
Partially or impartiality shown in the
schedule.
A CLEAN GAME.
But in the midst of this variety of opin-
Ions the fact has been driven into the heads
of the ''rooters'' that the managers of the
league clubs were anxious to improve the
sport, and that clean Baseball was to be
the rule and not the exception in the fu-
ture. For this reason the lovers of the ma
tional game have been inclined to overlook
the little differences of judgment that
might otherwise have grown into noun
tains, and it is safe to say that the season
will open with every one unanimous in sup
port of the men who are working to make
the sport a success.
Another good omen is that the managers
without an exception are confident that
their terms are to do themselves proud this
year. If the statement of each manager
was to be accepted as fact, one would have
to believe that championship ball was TO

WASHINGTON'S YOUNGSTERS.
Manager Irwin, of Washington, is anoth-
err enthusiast who believes that his boys are
destined to do great things. 'They can't
keep us out of first place when we once get
we'll pointed that way" is his opinion, for
he believes that he has some youngsters
who will keep the old professionals hustling
from start to finish AS 1t is generally adj
mitted that he has a strong outfield and
some remarkably clever pitchers it is pos
sible that he has not over-estimated the
ability of his team.

within the last few years as one OF the
most successful and richest of Washington
citizens The piece of property referred to
is the Washington and Great Falls Electric
railroad little line running from George
town to Cabin John Bridge up the Po-
tomac some ten or twelve miles. He paid
for the construction of the line with $780,
600 in bonds of the company, which he aft
erward bought in for SGT 900. A short time
ago eX-Sena tor Smith of New Jersey and
a small group of wealthy men conceived
the Idea of consolidating the gas, electric
lighting and street car interests of Wash
ington. After they had bought pretty
nearly everything in sight except one
strong street car system, which is owned
by few hard-heaTted capitalists, they dis
covered that the only way they could con-
solidate successfully was by getting hold
of the charter owned by Mr.. Hutchns. Per-
ceiving the predicament Sena tor Smith and
his friends were in, he demanded $500 coo
for his road but was finally induced to ac-
cept $475 600 cash.
Mr.. Hutchins made his first big strike in
the Mergenthaler typesetting machines He
became interested in that invention when
1t was struggling for a standing and got
IN on the ground floor. But for a stri,-.,
among his printers he would not have run
across that opportunity, and but for his
money that great labor-saving machine
might not have been extensively introduced
for many years. 1t is the regret of Mr..
Hutchins life that he ever parted with the
Washington Post which he sold to Frank
Hatton and Beriah Wilkins under the er-
roneous impression that they would never
be able to make it good and that the prop
erty would come back into his hands. I'm

BALTIMORE'S SURPRISE.
Manager McGraw, of Baltimore, said:

tail-enders. Because we have been relegat-
ed to Baltimore does not prove that we
have a weak team. We can beat out four
or five of the clubs as they stand today.

better. Look over the list of my players
