SPORTING.
Best Base Bali Player In the Leagr

Best Base Ball Player i'm the League.
The other night in the Sturtevant House
in New York group of base ball writer's
and several base ball managers fell to dis
cussing the "best base ball player in the
league" writes the veteran Weldon in the
Cincinnati Enquirer. Billy Keller, Fred
Clark, Fred Tenney, Bill LANCE and other
stars had their innings. In the end it was
the opinion of the majority of the group
that Lajoie of the Philadelphia was the
best natural player in America. The fact
that Lajoie is wonderful batter, and that
he can play any position on the team ex-
cept pitcher, not to say anything about his
ability to get around the bases, caused
most of the base boil men to pick the
French Canadian as vuo zig star.

CANE NEAR BEING CAUGHT.
Dress Cutter Plies His Vocation on a
Street Car.

The dress cutter who has been causing
so much annoyance to ladies for several
weeks, came near being caught last night.
He got on car a Pennsylvania avenue
and 9TH street northwest about o'clock
and spoiled handsome broadcloth dress
worn by Mrs. M. Q. CHARGE Of No % K
street northeast.
THAT mans cut my dress declared Mrs.
Chance when She discovered the mutila
ton, and she pointed to one OF the passen-
gers.
Other passengers in the car knew she had
pointed out ,he wrong man and so in
formed Mrs. Chance. The young man. who
was charged with the CRIME, insisted that
he should be arrested, and he remained on
the car until a policeman was called at
9th street. The policeman knew the young
man and declined to arrest him. Mrs.
Chance was satisfied that she Rad made
mistake and did Tot want him taken into
custody.
Mrs. Isabelle Rudd who was a passenger
OH the car, described the man who she has
reason to believe did the cutting. She saw
Mrs. Chance When she got on the car and
noticed that she gave her dress a pull.
This she thought was done because The
garment had caught in the door. 1t de-
vcloped, however, that the dress was held
by the cutter. As soon as Mrs. Chance got
into the car and was about TO be seated
MIS- fNuSlu nO1iCtu lDdl ilt1C OTGSS Ha1 Deel
damaged. The young man who was so
near Mrs. Chance and who left the car
about the time the cutting was done Mrs.
Rudd describes as gocd-looking, with
light mustacne. He wore a light overcoat
and a dark derby hat, either black or
brown. This description tallies with that
gwen of man who was suspected of cut
ting dress n d 9TH street store few days
ago.
Last nights affair caused considerable
excitement on the car, and the police
ceived a report of the cutting soon after il
occurred.
A young man who gave his name as Max
krebs. and who is said to be employed at
Saengerbund Hall, on street northwest
was arrested at the hall late this after
noon by Detectives Perham and Gallaher
and is held on suspicion. He was identified
by Mr.. Chance as having been on the car
with him and Mrs. Chance, and standing
where he might have done the cutting The
belief was expressed that he was the guilty
party. Krebs denies the charge.
