been heralded as the man to be placed in
charge of the Washington club the coming
season, and Manager Barnie of the Hart
ford club. win go to Baltimore. Manager
Burns had charge of the Chicagos last sea-
son. and is considered an able judge of a
players ability Should Manager Burns be
finally located in this city it Is a foregone
conclusion that not more than two or three
of last years Springfield team will come
with him. and that players like Padden
Hoy, Powers. Brodie. Holmes and Anderson
may join the club, thereby making the ar
ticle Of ball on exhibition of quite high
grade Players like the ones mentioned are
just shade under the first grade and must
be taken care of, and as they drift into
the class A clubs the younger members
thereof will be pushed back into the class
organizations
Next season everything will right itself
in the base ball world. The Quinn Richter
new American Association now has five
clubs organized, and between this time and
next season it will gather in the other
three clubs and be ready to battle with
the National League. This year the play
ers viii suffer to a certain extent, but their
time is coming, and they will once more be
placed in the position, of being the greatest

CURRENT SPORTING NEWS

The probable settlement of the contro-
versy between the National and American
leagues over the placing of q club in Chi
cago contrary to, the national agreement
takes Washington out of the visionary
American Association and makes 1t men,
Der of the Eastern League. There was
from the first only a retaliatery motive In
launching the American Association and
the magnates seemed to be at sea as to its
actual organization. j. Earl Wagner ad-
mitted that he had come to Washington
at the request of the National League COM
mittee, and that he knew little about what
was intended Mr.. Wagner denied the
western story that he was to be the agent
of ,the league in Washington, but the gen.
eral look of affairs placed him in that
position. Mr.. Wagner went to his Phia-
delphia home Saturday with the under
standing that he would return to Washing
ton today. Up to the noon hour he had
not put in an appearance, but he may ar
rive later in the day.
A majority of the local base ball enthu-
siasts will doubtless deDlore the fact that
the proposed association under the control
of the league has dropped out of the rum
ming. but an Eastern League club should
be just as strong in every particular. The
parent body cannot take care of the 900
players who have worked their way up out
Of the minor leagues. and these men will
NATURALLY dfitt iito SHe Eastern ana " est
taern leagues and form strong a body as
the association, for 1t was these players
that the latter expected to employ. Presi-
dent Powers has already registered re-
quests for several players under the reser-
walton of the different clubs in the Ma
tionaI League. and as the situation crystal
ICES for the coming season these requests
will be very numerous. The clubs in class
A minor leagues, the Eeastern and West
ern Tor American. as it is now styled, are
quite strong already. but with the addi-
tionat talent at their command a strong
aggregation of ball players can be whipped
into shape for the two organizations.

BRYAN ON THE STRIKE
Says Arbitration Would Have Cut
 Trouble Short.

Few Haven. Conn. Oct. 27.-W. J. Bryan was asked today for statement of his views upon the settlement of the anthra-ite coal strike and replied as follows:
 T am very glad to learn that the strike is tiled. The fac, that the men have secured an advance is not only gratifying, but il shows that there was just cause for their complaint. But the fact that they were idle a month and that the consumers of coal have had to pay higher price for the coal, which Was the cause Of the strike, shows how important it is to have ar biuation for the settlements of diff culties between labor and capital. \ just system of arbitration would have secured to the miners the advantage they have gained and probably d still greater advan,aEe without the less they have suffered. T. would have also saved the public the loss which has been visited upon it."

New York. Oct. 27-At the instance of the joint committee oe the recent missionary conference of all the SO oieties doing missionary work in China churches of all religious denom.nauon- throughout the United States and Canada will observe the week. com moncing tomorrow as q season of spe- cial prayer in behalf ct the Chinese missions. The appeal for the observ- ance is signed by the Rev. R. p. Mac kay of the Presbyterian church in Can ada. the Rev. Dr. Judson Smith Of the Congregational board, Boston. and the Rev. Dr. Thomas $. Barbour the junior secretary Of the Baptist Missionary union. Among other things the appeal says: "The success and evidences Of Gods workings in this closing century have been phenomenaI In China fifty years ago there Were only six Trotes- tant Christians. At the beginning Of 1900 there were 100. GOO members Of churches and scores of thousands who accepted the Christian faiJn. although they had not identified themselves with the Christian church. Those who are most competent to judge are agreed that this uprising is anti-foreign rather than anti-missionary. We are not wit messing a mere outburst of popular feeling, but a systematic erfori of those in authority to drive the foreigner. as such, into the sea. As soon as the pow CTS establish relations with the Chinese government the missionaries will be welcomed back again hy the thousands Who have alrsady~ oeua "el by their residence among them.'
