HARTFORD CITY, Ind. Nov. 49, -
Amos Rusie, the greatest baseball pitcher
of modern times, the big hero of many
royal battles, won Solely through his
marvellous skill in twirling the sphere,
who has been petted and babied, loved
and Rugged by the big moguls of the
baseball syndicate, is now living the life
Of recluse practically in a suburb of
MunCle. He IS known to very few, and
walks through the streets of the town
unknown. He doesn't look like the same
Amos Rusie that has sent thrills of en-
thusiastic delight through the veins Of
thousands and thousands of people by
his phenomenal pitching in the big
games. Very particular about his dress,
he Wanders about over the city at will,
seldom, il ever, accompanied by any one,
and apparently not caring for the little
notice his presence on the streets at
tracts. He goes to the postoffice regu-
larly, walks up to the general delivery
window after his turn in a usually Ions
wait, and asks in his big voice If there
is any mail for Amos Rusie. The sound
of his name causes those in the rear TO
look at him suddenly, and they keep
watching him until he is out of sight
The story of Rusie's withdrawal from
faEIOm is we'll known, but it is not gen
orally known why he is leading the life
Of a village denizen far away from the
hurly- burly existence to which he had
always been accustomed Some years
ago Rusie married a Miss Smith, of Mum
Gle. She Won his heart in the first in
ming Of the game and he hers. They
were married, and lived happily. as man
ard wife until Rusie got gloriously drunk
on bad whisky, and, if all the stories
told be true, essayed on numerous occa-
sions to throw his frau over the home
plate in one of his famous OutshOOts.
Mrs Rusie would not stand for it. She
applied for and secured a divorce. She
then went to Muncie and took up her
residence. Amos repented, came to In
diana, met his former wife and sought
a reconciliation. Finally the ex-Mrs.
Rusie decided to live with him again,
providing he would never play ball or
visit New York. Amos promised. They
were remarked, and are today living
unknown to the outside world.

 Sporting Editors Write
 A number of the sporting editors of the United States and Canada have given opin- ions regarding the proposed carnival and which will be found of particular interest to men interested in the various branches or sport treated upon, especially those by James A. LeRoy, formerly sporting editor of the Detroit Free Press. who wrote long and interestingly of the possibilities Of a carnival, scoring the American Athletic union rather sharply though admitting that 1t would be wise to seek the co-operatfon of the officials of that organization, fur ther than inviting and securing friendly CO., operation from the officials of the A. A. U. The sporting committee should see to it that the A. A. w. keeps its hands of, wrote MT. IseRoy.
 'In the first place, consideration must be given to the problem of gathering the men together. Begin with the Olympian games at Paris. That will be a good time and place to work up interest in the games for the Pan American exposition. It will be possible at Paris to see the best and also to profit by the mistakes made there; and there will be plenty, if the experience of the games of 1896 at Greece are repeat ed. Fencers from France and Germany, wrestlers from Greece and other European countries, gymnasts of different kinds, and bicyc1ists you can secure from all other countries in Christendom, if the affair Is well worked up.'
 'In general, however, you would have to depend, should say, on England to furnish you foreign athletes for the competitions that will really stir American blood; com petitions that will be really worth the name of championship events in modern athletics. The games in Greece in '96 were woefully far from that The men, for in- stance, who starred over them for America in jumps and weight events could only pull out fourth place in one jumping event; and that's all in our intercollegiate games in New York that year.
 English Athletes

They have had experience in international con- tests, and they are somewhat 1eary' of us- cautious both on account of our prowess and on account of their belief in our having shady standards of amateurism.

There has been no art project of such irn- portance and general interest to the Amer ican people within our national history as that which purposes ito dedicate in Paris on the Fourth of July next, at the exposi- ,tion, a monument to Lafayette.
 To further this movement the aid and support of the governors of the various states and territories, together with the superiptendents of education throughout the country, was solicited and secured. To- gether with a number of prominent and respected citizens these officials form a commission, responsible in the premises for the conduct. of the movement, having as it's purpose the presentation to France of a fitting memorial to the generous and gal iant Frenchman. whose services in the cause of our liberties were inestimable.
 The response to the appeal made by this commission to the school children, the states, and the general government has been most generous, resulting in sum exceeding $100 900.
 To the end of securing for the execution of the work the best available American talent, the services of the presidents of the National Sculpture society, the Society of American Artists. and the American 1n- stitute of Architects, were secured.
 In the appointment of these distinguished artists, representatives because of their official positions and individual ability; as a committee of experts, an initial movement for securing the best possible results, would seem to have been fairly made. The out come however, has been far from satis- factory.
 MT Bartlett, young man, born in this country, but French through lifelong resi- dence in Paris, was, through processes not yet explained selected to do tf4s, which should be made the most notable achieve ment of American sculpture
 MT. Bartlett, little known to us here, is said by M Hovelaque, the most eminent of French critics, to be not seriously taken in Paris as an artist in other than circle. devoted to afternoon teas. This same au- thority has said of the French that while tolerant of their own bad works, they have no such feeling of indulgence for those of expatriated Americans, who are much too initiative to be even f1attering.
 Simple Equestri Figure
 It is presumably in consequence of this feeling that the projected monument has been reduced in scope to a simple eques- trian statue, and to @ small scale, that it may not dwarf adjacent monuments in the Garden of The Tuilleries.
 It has been publicly stated, and the state

ment has not been questioned, that moro than $5O,000 has not at any time been paid for a simple equestrian statue, together with its pedestal.
 In reply to repeated questions as to what is to be done with the great sum of money already in hand, and in view, the oomrnis- sion has answered that it is intended to en- rich the bronze by additions of gold and silver, and that additional expense is to be entailed by the casting of the statue in one piece by the cere predue process.
 This writer has secured statements from the Roman Bronze works and John Will Hams of New York. the Bureau Brothers of Philadelphia, The American Bronze Foundry company of Chicago and the Anes Foundry of Chicopee, Masb., to the effect that gold and silver are not used ip large castings, for the reason that they add net7- ing of durability or beauty, and that not only is nothing gained by making a large casting in one piece, but that there is a risk of having 1t come out spongy and de- fective.
 Those authoritative expressions dispose of this possible means of expending indefinite sums, and make 1t incumbent on the cons mission to explain what ds to be done with the $50,000 and more in excess of the ex- orbitant estimate of s50,000, for the statue and pedestal
 Indeed the famous French sculptor, NJ. Bartholdi, whose experience Is probably kLedtdr tHdH tHdt or any llVlng drt1St, mas said that s20y000 would be an enormous sum to pay Bartlett or his statue. Taking this estimate and allowing $15.O00 for the pedes- tai, the whole expense would be covered by s35,00
 The secretary of the commission has said that 1t is hoped the fund may be made, through the sale of Lafayette dollars to ex- ceed $150000. Various statements have been made in the press as to what Is ito be done with this money, but officially nothing. ex- cept as to sinking it in gold and silver into the bronze, and in useless attempts to cast the statue entire.
 If the committee of experts had been con- suited as to these curious propositions be- fore the report was given out the amiable gentlemen of the commission would doubt less have been spared the modification of furthering purposes conceived without knowledge.
 Should Inform Themselves
 It may appropriately be said that when prominent and honorable citizens lend their names for the assurance of public conf- dence in movements of this character, they should be at pains to inform themselves as to the nature of the duties they have un- Continued on Page 21)
