Fouling Off halls.

There is one rule on the books that
doesn't reach two members of the Bal
timore team. 1t Is the rule in regard
to fouling off balls intentionally.
Hughie Jennings and Billy Keeler can
foul ball almost any time they want,
and do it without resorting to the
bunt. They did it in a close game
against a pitcher less cool and delib-
crate than Still Bill Hill, their trick
might have brought disaster to the
Reds. Several times Jennings and
Keeler went to the plate bent on get
ting their base on balls. Time after
time when Hill put the ball over the
heart of the plate they would foul it,
in order to keep from having a strike
called. 1t was the old Arlie Latham,
Blonde, Purcell and Mike Kelly trick
of leaving the bad one go by and foul
ing off the good ones. A rule was
passed years ago to cut off these tricky
players, and it was succ 2ssful. They
used to foul 'em by the bunting route,
and it was easy to tell when they were
breaking the rules.
Jennings and keeler have way Of
beating the rule. They don't foul
balls off by bunting. The swing at
the ball with all their might. They
either pull the ball around" foul, or
prop themselves so that it will be foul
ed to the right.
In one of their last Cincinnati games
they made Hill pitch about twice as
much as he should. At one time at the
bat Jennings fouled off ten strikes.
While Gaffney might have suspected
that they were trying to embarrass
Hill, it was hard matter to say posi-
lively they were doing it Intentionally.
He should at least have warned them.

The alarm clock br-r-r-r-ed in harsh,

slept the sleep Of the just-and the

New York Evening Journal. He tum-

the cheerful alacrity Of man with a

he picked up a brace of brushes and

them on a chair, but did not silently

Of pain passed across the face of the

preserve his cherished illusion in the
face OF such crudeness. He decided in

A trivial detail Of five hours work
hung between the selection of the
sporting tie and the sport, but the
Make-Believe-Man made 1t a rule never

and he went fore and stood in the
rain. His carriage was waiting for
him at the New York side. He entered

a nickel. The man pulled a strap;
something rang-how funny it all was!
He finally arrived at ''his study" 1t

OF course their success has not as
sumed any great proportions in so far
as popularity is concerned, but artis-
tically they undoubtedly surprised
even their friends. Some good judges
of the dramatic art think that Willie

others who think that Tom Jefferson

nent success in line of character parts

Pcssimistic HanlOn.

Manager Hanlon Of the Baltimores
does not take rosy view of the sea-
son of 1899. In recent interview he
said IF the National league circuit
would remain the same as before there
are four cities which must be strength
ened. There are Brooklyn, New York,
Philadelphia and St. Louis. One thing
is certain, the National league cannot
go along playing losing game be-
cause certain towns are lamentably
weak. There is frightful expense at
tending the running of a ball team,
and it is not fair that a team which
makes money at home should be COM
PEELED to carry along other clubs which
seem to have no good excuse for not
being strong and healthy. There is
lots Of good material in the country,
and I think the time has come when
it is necessary for weak teams to
brace up. If there is not a bracing up
in certain points along the line every
team in the league will likely lose
money next year" Talk of weak
teams strengthening is pretty-but the
desirable talent that the successful
teams carry for utility purposes can
not be purchased

Those who know the ability of Jen-
nings and Keeler to hit ball foul
when they want to know that they
work this trick 1t is an unfair man
ner of playing. The rule was passed
in the first place because Purcell, La
than and the late Mike Kelly were
about the only players who could dc
1t. They had had a monopoly on the
trick, and the players of other teams
were at a disadvantage. Jennings and
keeler now have a hunch over other
players. There should be some rule to
reach them.
Captain Ewing insisted that Umpire
Gaffney should have called them down
Umpire Gaffney insisted that he could
not do it because they did not bunt

rule does not say anything about bunt-

Lynching Made Expensive.

Ohio is the first state to try a pre-
ventive of lynching, which has often
been suggested, namely, the plan of
making the county in which a lynch
ing occurs liable for damages to the
heirs Of the victim. About two years
ago such law was enacted in Ohio,
just after several lynchings had oc-
Cured in that state. 1t was argued
that this law would tend to discourage
the resort to lynch law by it's action
upon the pocket nerve of a commun-
ity, but it had not been passed long
when a mob in Northern Ohio swung
up man. His next of kin entered
suit against the county where the
crime occurred. and was awarded
$4,000 damages. The county's counsel
appealed the case to the supreme
court on the ground that the act un-
der which the verdict was returned
was unconstitutional. This question
was argued elaborately on both sides,
and the court has decided that the an
ti-lynching law is constitutional. It is
probable that other states will adopt
the Ohio method of making lynchings
expensive.-Atlanta Journal.

THEATRICAL TOPICS.
BONE SAYINGS AND DOlNCS
IN STACELAND.
The Realization Of the Ambition of Mr..
Richard Mansfield-At Last He Is the
Best American Actor-Other Actors
Of NOt~

To the grand gallery of figures hero
ic, fantastic and poetic, which Mr..
Mansfield, with the hand and brain of
genius, has created, he has now added
another. In this generation few Gre
ations and few actors have been so dis
cussed, SO praised and SO pursued as
this Cyrano de Bergerac, end Mr. Mans
field in the part. Although the play
has been acted, in American, at least,
but few months, it is on everyone's
tongue. The day for which Mr. Mans
field has worked so bravely, SO insist
emily and with such singleness of pur-
pose has arrived. Where Sir Henry
Irving stands in England Mr. Mansfield
stands with us. No cavling at his
methods or means, no exaggeration Of
his faults can change this. The pro-
duction of "Cyrano de Bergerac' is not
necessarily the crowning work of his
career, and no matter how good it may
be l hope there are many greater tri-
umphs yet in store for him. But the
point over which l can readily imagine
Mr.. Mansfield most rejoices is that the
American people are accepting him and
taking him to their bosom as they
have, in his lifetime at least, no other
actor of their own race and country.
Why, the way people are talking about
Mr.. Mansfield, he might have been
born in London or beside the sacred
Seine!
It looks as if Mr.. Gillette has made
another big hit in the way of comedy
writing This time he is an adaptor, as
he was to some extent in his last farce,
TOO Much Johnson" 1t is from the
French, this last piece, and is called
Because She Loved Him So." 1t is a
comedy rather than a farce, although
the plot tends more toward laughter
than any serious emotion. In 1t J. E.

A Boston correspondent writes to me
as follows concerning Mr.. Gillette's lat
est: "The gist of the plot is that MIS-.
Oliver West, an amiable but high
strung young person, who has just
changed her condition from that of
spoiled child to that OF young wife,
makes her husbands life a burden to
him with her explosive jealousy. The
two are all the time quarreling and

when they quarrel without making up,

Alice Nielsen has taken Washington
by storm, if one may judge by the
newspaper criticisms. The Fortune
Teller" the new Smith Herbert comic
opera in which Frank Perley is intro
ducng Miss Nielsen as star seems to
have been greatly improved since it
was originally introduced. In Washing
ton they seem to think that Mr.. Her
bert has never written music of such a
high and yet popular class. The critic
of the Times says on this point Aft

inclined to confess that Mr.. Herbert S
