THE American League is surrounded by

unfortunate, after the splendid way the

course up to the present time. ih6says
Frank Patterson, of Baltimore. Up to

not a single player who had signed

tempted to break 1t by any American
League man. Bribing players to violate
contracts has been left most appropriate

too. that there has been very little IL
any, bidding for players against the Ma

vantage of the war to try TO DO as they

of their teams. They will doubtless be
encouraged in this by the National

Though some of the National League
magnates are threatening those players
who Joined the American League with
the blacklist and other punishments, 1t
is not likely that this will be meted out
If, say next year. peace is declared be-
tween the two organizations.
When the Brotherhood fought the
League in 1890 the players who Joined that
organization were similarly threatened,
vet when peace came not a single player
was punished, and the leaders in the war
were better taken care of than those that
had stood by the league. Comisky Ew-
| ing, Kelly, and Johnny Ward were the
| ringleaders in the Brotherhood, yet they
| all secured fat positions when things were
! smoothed over. good ball player Is al
| ways in demand. and there is too much
! competition between the clubs OF the
| league for playing talent to allow any to
/ live up to rule which is intended TO
keep the jumpers out of the game.

What with the college teams admins
tering good drubbings to some of the sup
posedly best teams of the old National
League, II is high time for the magnates
to rub their eyes and wake up and get
onto the fact that their teams are not in
the same class as in former years. Phila-
delphia and New York have been de-
cisively beaten by the undergraduate ball
tossers and the wall that has gone up
from the league headquarters is really
humorous. The collegians so aver the
magnates, are in splendid condition in the
spring, while the professionals are soft
and not in any shape for good playing,
hence the defeats. This weak excuse,
however has never been brought into use
in years gone by when the leaguers were
wont to thrash the life out of the ambi-
tious youngsters. The idea of being put
to rout by a lot of boys is something new
TO the league officials and very naturally
they do not take kindly TO it.
The Boston management evidently had
this in mind when they announced their
team would not play Yale because the
Blues had been up against McGraw
Baltimore American team But Andy
| the lads from New Haven; that he did
| not consider the collegians a party to the
| national agreement and therefore indie
| pendent and free to play where and with
| whom they pleased, and could see 10
| good reason for refusing to give the boys
a game. All of which is very sensible
SDDTtSHldUllht
owner of the New York team. Therefore,
after reading Freedman.s views the Bos-
ton club owners decided they would take
on the Yale men for game Just to show
they harbored no hard feelings.
The preliminary games the league teams
have so far played have showed them to
be Unexpectedly weak, and in no way
able to put up good games. So there is
every reason to believe that this and
| next week Will see the greatest efforts
| put forth to steal the stars from the
| American ranks. The National club own
ers will not stop at any expense in order
to secure men. that will add strength to
| their aggregations, and IL behooves the
men at the head of the teams in the new
| league to keep an extra lookout on their
| men to see that emissaries of the cid
| league do not get in some of their fine
| Italian handiwork and cause some Of
their best players to jump to the older
| organization. So far as Washington is
| concerned. there is one man-Win Mer-
| cer-that New York would very much
| like to have on its pay roll, and, as Freed
| man appears willing to spend few dol
| lars this year, II wouldn't be a bit sur
| prising II the local pitcher was offered
| some very fiattering Inducements to vio-
| late his contract with Manning. But
those who know Mercer realize how flu
| tile any such attempt would be. He wants
| to play in this city, likes the management
| and is popular with his fellow players
| and is thoroughly satisfied, which is more
| than can be said of his condition while

A CURE FOR PNEUMONIA

There is an interesting and very inn
portant report from Baltimore con-
corning the treatment of that dreadful
disease, pneumonia DIR. Sydney o.
Haskell is the q%arantine physician and
he reports remarkable success in the
use of the newly discovered serum
pneumonia, he himself being the sub
ject for experiment. Within four hours
the distressing symptoms. the painful
and oppressed breathing. were relieved.
DR.. Haskell's was secured by
two in iections. Baltimore health COM
missioner issues a report on this new
antitoxin treatment. in which he says
that he expects good results in lobar
pneumonia only" and that it's success
depends on the injection being made
as early as possible after the disease
begins, land repeated every tour or
six hours until results are obtained"
The New York World tells of the
benefits Of the antitoxin treatment for
d~iphtheria- 1t has reduced the deaths
in that city from 207.A per 100, 900 in
habitants to As per cent. II says that
it has saved 1900 lives annually in New
York city alone, and many thousands
throughout the country.

JAPAN cot INVITING BUT READY
FOR WAR

If Russia pushes Japan there will
be a fight. It is given out by the
japanese first secretary at London
that Russia's attempt to scoop Man
turia will be a cause for war. AS the
Messenger has said japan 10 small
as compared with Russia. but it is
nevertheless a vigorous power n
can do some vigorous fighting. 1t
does not trust Russia in it's protests
of peace and forbearance towards
China, and has not forgotten how
Russia played foul towards it in its
victorious war with China. Japan has
men, money,arms, ships, a warlike
spirit. and has no love for the burly
Russian. The Atlanta Journal notes:
THE jap is a little fellow, but he is
all nerve and pluck and dash. He can
out-march any other soldier. He has
able commanders and is kept con-
stantly N the pink Of military condi-
ton, ready and more than willing to
fight at any time.
Tho great mena to Japan's pros
poets ano hopes is Russia and in spite
Of her greatly superior strength Rus
STA will surely get a fight out of Japan
If h attempts to agrees much fur
Their in the east"
John Bull will be in full sympathy
with it's resistance of Russian aggres-
sion, but so long as that South Afri-
can misfortune is On his hands he will
hardly be willing to try conclusions with
the Bear, however insistent and pugil-
istic it nay seem. II China is help
less Japan is not. The Chinese chief
secretary, Mr.. Matsui. is reported as
saying that his government ARE seri-
ously considering the crisis. Eyes are
wide open and hey will not be driven
to precipbtate action by thejingoists in
Japan, who are clamoring for immedi-
ate war. Yet, if they see that war is
unavoidable, they will not hesitate to
strike" So Russia's movement upon
Manturia may yet lead to war. Japan
understands hat Korea is in the line
of Russian aggression. n it will re-
siSt it.

HARRiSoN'S LAST PUB.
LISHED ARTICLE.

Ex-President Harrison has a con-
OF a series he was writing
for the North American Review. In
the current number there is a paper
from his strong per In which he dis
cusses Great Britain's course in South
Africa. He writes as to American
sympathy for British war upon the
Beers. ITO say that we must stand
by Great Britain in the wrong because
h stood by US in the right is not
reasoning-it is the c~omaraderie Of
brigands." BY Great Britain in the
wrong" Mr.. Harrison evidently refers
to her position in South Africa
He makes a home thrust as to the
question Of national all~egiance-that
born a British subject you must al
ways remai one. That vas the con-
tention in the early years of this CEN
fury prior to the war with Great Brit
ain in 1S12-14. Mr.. Harrison writes:
The idea of a war waged to enforce
as an International right, the privilege
of British subjects to their
allegiance TO the queen. and to assume
a condition in which they might be
obliged to take III arms against her,
would be a taking theme for a comic
opera. And the interest and amuse-
ment would be greatly promoted if the
composer should. in the opening act,
introduce the Ruler of the Queens
Navy overhauling an American mer-
chairman in 1872, n dragging from
her decks men who had renowned their
allegiance to Great Britain to become
American citizens. to man the guns of
British warships!"
Another hard hit is in regard to sub
jugation and distrust of the most gal
ant Dutch Beers. He says:
Great Britain cannot. we are told,
safely give local government to the
Beers when she shall have ~subjugated
them, because she cannot trust their
loyalty to the crown: but she is seek
ing to destroy the republic because the
Transvaal refused suffrage n local
control to Englishmen who had at
tempted by arms to overthrow the Boer
government, n h sought suffrage
for the same end"

A HUGE POPULATION LOOKED FOR

A writer in the April number of the
New York Forum asks why may there
not be 800, 600, 900 Of people in the
United States by the end of this CEN
tury? The usual increase Of popula-
lion would make them of that great
number or more ven if their increase
were TO be in proportion to the eQuiva-
lent population of some of the European
countries, for it would be really more
thar 1000. 000. 900. That is to say the
population Of this country if ~equaliz-
ing that of Belgium per square mile
(59S people) it would reach the enor-
nous figures of i, $4,000. 900. But IL
would take a long time-centuriee-
to bring the density up 10 any such
figures. In the United Kingdom Great
Brittany the population is 33S to each
square mile. II our land were to even
have such a corresponding crowding of
people the total would exceed 1000 :
