BASE BALL DOINGS.

Richmond. Ind, Jan 26.--Amos Rusie announces that he will go into active training soon. The former DaSeball star has no engagement.
 Comiskey is making arrangements to train his Chicago American league team for two weeks at the Illinois university ground at Urbana.
 It is said Boston was granted spe- cial permission to go south as far as Norfolk, on account of the severe eli matic conditions ill this section n the spring.
 Louisville, Jan 2G.-J. J. Saunders yesterday sold to 1. F. Whitesides, a wealthy business man, the American Baseball association franchise with the consent of Harry Pulliam PulliaIn and Whitesides leave to-day for. h. dianapOliS for a conference With Wat llinS and Brush and will go next day to Chicago to complete arrangements for the release of q National league star, name not yet made public, who will be playermanager. It is prOba- ble that the National league grounds will be side-tracked for d much more desirable site in the heart of the city.
 President Ban Johnson of the American league. before leaving Bos- ton. delivered this effective broadSide: II notice that President Soden refers to the letter 1 sent to President Young last September. Did he divulge the contents of that letter? No? Then will. It was to the effect that we had planned q movement to expand and found it impossible to work under the so-called National agreement; that a new agreement would have to be framed and if the National league ex- ercised fairness and common sense there would be no friction between the two organizations. Now the National league knew exactly where we were at and where it was. too. and yet made no move to meet us half way. Why not?' Because it's pride was in the way and it could not tolerate an equal l sent verbal message to the Ma tiOnal league at the meeting in De | cember, saying on what terms l would l take the grounds ill Baltimore and Washington. 1 was willing to pay a reasonable price, to be agreed upon | between us. 1 suggested that a new agreement be framed and the National league men should respect our reserve rule and we theirs.

Polo tonight.

Polo tonight.
 President l.. NJ. Richardson, ,SDf the Western polo league, iias written to Secretary Morse. of the National, re- garding a roller polo tournament to be held at the Sportsman's show in Chtago February ? to March 12 Four teams are wanted to play four western teams for a trophy, the visit ing teams to receive expenses and be entertained at the Auditorium hotel.
 We have two leaders in the team that bore the name of Waterbury and will next week assume the name of Salem. Russell leads the league in the number of rushes and Fox has the lead in goal tending. Yes. and we have another leader, too, for Tommy Holderness because of his aggressive playing has the lead on fouls. We might go further and pick out Jean for the leading center of this league, and that fact is not denied either. and then last, but not least, Johnny Griffin was the best second rush in the busi- ness. Take the team as a whole, the Waterburys were all leaders.
 What is the reason Waterbury al- ways gets the worst end of these polo deals? Why isn't the local team al-
 
 and New Haven to see which team Is really entitled to the championship? The fact of no team coming to Water bury last night should be counted as a game won by Waterbury. The game was forfeited and why shouldn't we claim it? For the past two weeks Wa terbury has had the rough end of the deal, and our advice to Managers Jacques and Guest is to make claim for the flag, if there is such thing. It is just two weeks since Waterbury has had a chance to play q game with the club which was supposed to be the weakest in the league. the New Brit aims. and yet Hartford and New Ha- ven have had three games each with the New Britains in the same length of time. Waterbury has had to be content with playing with Hartford and New Haven, having played the later club three times and Hartford three times What kind of manage ment is that Mir Parsons? It must be the kind that killed the National league.

league took no notice of the matter In view of this, if there is to be com promise of any kind, the National league will have to come to the Ameri- can league, as we have decided to go ahead with our business regardless of what the magnates may think or do. The association is not worth talking about. Barring Boston and Washing ton, there is no money behind the clubs named in the circuit. The Ameri- can league is not frightened and can- not be bluffed. When we've held our schedule meeting in Chicago next Monday, we may be in a position to discuss the player question:
 A little item has been going the rounds to the effect that Manager O'Rourke would have charge of the New 1orls next season. Now Man ager Jim could not be tempted to do such a thing for considerable more money than New York would pay. He is going to stay right here in this nice little league, have all the base ball fun he wants and incidentally coin a few dollars out of that base ball park, which is all his own. Manager O'Rourke has the proud distinction of being the only minor league base ball magnate in all this broad land who owns hlS own grounds. lie naS built up the game in this city and placed it on firm footing. The public have confidence in him and are willing to support his efforts in the base ball line. He has given Bridgeport an article of base ball that, when you come to think it over, has been of the right sort. Ii is true that we have had but one championship, but. on the other hand. our team has always been a factor in the race and has made the other clubs hustle to win from it. We have had base ball for six successive seasons, are sure of q seventh and have splendid prospects for many more. That is q notably strong posi- ton for q minor league city of the State leagues class. There is not an- other city in tie country in "'-r ''~" "'te' ' class that has such q record. Bridge port fans have Manager ORourke to thank for this. They can await the opening of the season with euuanl1nl- ty. They can feel assured that they will see as good ball next season as last to say the least. while the chances are that it will be superior For my self. 1 shall be satisfied if the team does as well.-Bridgeport Post.

WHITE PUNISHES A BULLY.

Now that the boxers have been cut off by the. reforrnerSi from making q livelihood many of them have engaged actively in the hero business. While the glove wearers have not dlstin- guished themselves 10 any extent, fighters who are well known on Broad way have earned fame ill certain suburban town. Chicago recently was the scene of q thrilling affair. from which a noted boxer made his exit with a halo of glory. According to re- ports the incident happened in street car. The young man was compelled to stand up, and when the car started with a jerk he accidentally stepped on the foot of Q big man behind him. The big man glared at the little fellow and said he permitted no one to step on his feet. Are you speaking to me sir?' inquired the youth. ''Yes. I'm speak
 ing to you, birdie. an it's you will feel badly when l hit ye. for I'm going to do it right now Il am sorry stepped on your toes, sir" continued the youth, and I apologize "Step back there, you chap behind me. so 1 can git my arm moving. 1 want to hit him hard" The big man turned his face to see that his command was obeyed, but those were the last words he spoke on that car. Quickly as an Italian draws his StllettO the youth ! released his right hand from the strap and, in a lightninglike whirl. turned completely around, planting his fist squarely on the jaw of the giant bully. | who was just turning his head and preparing to deliver a blow himself. The blow was delivered so squarely and had such force behind it that the belligerent giant with q gasp fell into | the dirty and beSmeared aisle in a | heap. He writhed and then lay still. | Not one of the passengers who had urged him to start fight attempted to help him, but instead they crowded around the silent youth, shook his hand and begged him to leave the car 1 just for little 'bowl.' Meanwhile | the conductor removed the fallen man | to the rear platform, where the fresh air. revived him. After a while he | got up, buttoned his coat and left the car, but he said never a word. Pressed again to take a little 'bowl,' the youth replied: ''No, not tonight. I'm in strict training. After I have my little go with Terry McGovern to-mor- row night at Tattersalls perhaps I

 The Waterburys will feel lost up in Salem unless some of the first class polo writers down that way come east, too. No one ever heard of a Salem sheet that could write polo. Don't mis- understand us, this is no reflection on the boys.-Pawtucket Times.
 Did you notice how many of the National league players are drifting up into the Maine league? Not one of the players that was of any account has made any mention of going. up there but all prefer to take chances with the Massachusetts league. Tlan are very sensible.

 Cincinnati, Jan 26.-Mayor Julius Fleischman late yesterday afternoon granted the much talked of permit to the SaengerfeSt Athletic association for q boxing contest between Jetfries and Ruhlin. He some time ago an- nounced that he would not grant it until two days before the date set for the fight. A committee of the asso- ciation wrote the mayor two days ago pleading again for the permit, as the association was under heavy expense every minute. They thought he had misconstrued their motives, perhaps, their only object being the lifting of tue Saengerfest debt incurred by the National Saengerfest jubilee two years ago. They thought it was only fair to them that they should have every preliminary settled at once In order to meet any fight that might be made against them in court. The remodel ing of the hall, with it's very consid- erable expense, was another argument advanced for an immediate granting of their request. Delay was also in turing their prospects for patronage. -.
 The mayor admitted the force of their arguments and announced that he would reconsider his determination not to grant it until the last moment He accordingly issued the permit yes terday as follows:
 Permission is hereby granted the Saengerfest Athletic association, an in corporation organized under the laws of Ohio, to give two sparring contests, one not to exceed ten rounds and one not to exceed twenty rounds. at Con vention (Saengerfesp hall, Vine and Erchenbrecher streets, on February 15,. 1901, under authority vested in the mayor by section 6S9O, revised statutes of Ohio. Julius Fleischmann."
 The organized opposition to the fight seemed surprised last night at the mayors changed mind, but said the permit cut no figure at all. as the mat ter was bound to bring up in the courts for final settlement. The Rev Mir Goss. the spokesman of the citizens committee, said the prospects for knocking out the fight looked brighter in spite of the mayts's action than ever before. The Rev David McKin- ney, president of. the Municipal Re form league, said the mayors permit amounted to nothing.-
 Attorney General Sheets in Colum- bus yesterday announced that al- though he had not been called upon to bring suit to oust the Saengerfest A. c. from its charter,' if such request were made the Saengerfest people have thirty days tos&answer, and by then the fight would De, over.

The decay of religious sentiment
which is to be observed in all thos"
countries which are in the foremost
rank as regards knowledge, and es-
pecially the growth of scientific knowl-

the spread of suicide than has any

Of orthodox belief, says the Medical
Record is an important factor in the
increase of self-murder is demon
strated in great cities like Paris, Ber-
lin and Vienna, where agnosticism is
rampant and the greatest number OF
suicides occur.
DR.. Ireland traces the greater por-
ton of the causes of suicide to severe
strain upon the nervous system which
may be the outcome of multiplicity OF
causes. Among these causes may be
mentioned the increased strain OF mod
ern life upon the nervous system. The

be observed that with the exception OF
Norway the suicide mortality rate has
increased, and in most countries very
considerably within recent years
The diminution in Norway is attrib'
uted saws the Nineteenth Century Re-
view, to the energetic attack when
the Norwegian government has made
on alcoholism. The same journal says
that, in the case of Italy particularly,
emigration accounts to some extent
for the .low rate prevailing there. 1t is
evident that emigration provides an
outlet for a great deal of misery and
constitutes hopeful alternative to sui
eide.
The rate of suicide mortality in the
United States is one in $4,000. DIR. ID.
r. Dewey finds that in the New Eng
land states since 1860 suicide has in
creased about IS per cent. In Massa-
chusetts it has increased in 30 years,
10000. from 10 to 80 to the million
living, and in Connecticut from 81 to
l0s per million. A steady increase OF
seh-destruction is common TO the
whole civilized world.
