NO AID FROM THE LEAGUE.
The American Association Promoter
Given n Cool Recepticn.

NEW YORK. Jan. 1s.-The American
Baseball Association hackers received a
blow in the solar plexus during the cay
which made this plan look weak. John
l. Rogers. of The Philadelphia National
League Club. played his cards SO we'll
that the Freedman Brush scheme CT The
1amming an association club into the
quaker City was knocked on the head.
Soden. Freedman. Robson, and Hart, con-
stituting the National League Circuit
committee. met at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
this morning.
The official announcement that the
Eastern end of the association would COM
prise Washington, Baltimore. Philadel-
PM, and Boston. was not surprising, but
there was some merriment caused by the
fact that the Baltimore promoter appeared
in the person Of Catcher Bill Clarke OF
the Bostons, who runs a saloon in the
Monumental City, and says that Soden has
promised 10 let him buy his release il he
can get backing to run a club in oppOsi-
tion to McGraw and Robinson.
The fact that Rogers will practically
own the Philadelphia association club.
which VIII be, of course. a union league
affair. drew forth the comment that the
Quaker end of the new circuit would be
frost for the reason tina: patrons OF the
game there will not support a club that
is not entirely independent of the Ma
tional League. Boston and Washington
appear to be firm enough financially. but
trotting in slow company. it would seem.

tion of boyhood teasing into the cruel
haZing such as has been uncovered by a
Congressional committee who would not
have come to pass in Lees time as COM
mandant of the National Military Acade-
my. His teachings and the force of his
example would have taught the boys of
that day to be too brave to be guilty of
such practices.
"A British critic has said that the five
greatest English speaking generals were
Marlborough Washington, wellington
Lee. and Jackson. Who shall say that
Lee was not one of the greatest? Yet,
my friends, there is no place fer him in
the American Valhalla. the American
Westminster Abbey"
General Wheeler said:
Il am proud tonight that am South
erner and am proud that / am an Amer
lean. 1t is the country of the future. and
ITS path or progress is the path of civili
cation. This country is largely what it is
today because of the bravery. the cour-
age. and the craftsmanship of the men of
the South The South was what it was
and what it is not only because of its
men but because of the women who gave
them birth, and the proudest heritage of
all Southerners should be the memory of
its noble and lovely women"
Edwin B. Hay. of Washington. also

ner in the Astor Gallery.

lIALYs HEAT RECORD.

The centgrade system of marking thermometers is so
little used in this country that it means nothing definite
to most American readers when they learn by cable dis
patches many of Italy have been scorched by
extreme heat with the temperature at 43 degrees in the
shade The figures do not look bad to any accus-
toned the Fahrenheit thermometer, except that they
suggest frost in midsummer
However that is fierce August weather At 43 degrees
cengrade the temperature is nearly half way from the
freezing point Of the water which the centgrade TO
the boiling point which is its 100 degree mark So 4S
degrees shade by the system of reckoning heat
which prevails in Italy and other countries by Europe is
1894 degrees by American thermometers That is enough
to make any part of the temperate zone cry for relief
Italy is always country, especially for no
farther lies little north Of Cleveland Ohio,
Rome is rather in the southern part of Italy than in
the northern portion of that kingdom But when the heat
of rises 10 in the shade Whereabouts, it is
very hard for sunloving Italians bad for their
agricultural products their fruits This year Italy
and Kansas can commiserate each other.
The season appears to be extreme in the greater part
of the northern hemisphere. What it may be before
only be guessed but safe assume that
the worst is for this year.
