Curtis H. Bernard, the center fielder
OF the New Yorks. was born Feb. 1S,
1878, at Parkersburg, w. Va, but learn
ed to play ball at Fall River, Mass.
His clever work with local amateur
mines attracted the attention of the
management of the Fall River club, of
the New England league, from whom
he received his first professional en-
gagement for the season of 1898. That
year he participated in thirty-nine
championship contests and had bat
ting percentage of .266 and a fielding
average of sol. Among his long safe
hits were five home runs and eleven
double baggers. In 1899 he was a
member of the Albany team, of the
New York State league, and that year
he took part in only thirty-one cham
pionship games, but he showed mark
ed improvement in both his batting
and fielding. He had batting per-
centage of .277 and fielding record of
.971, ranking second among the center
aelders. He was re-engaged by the
Albany club for the campaign of 1900
and his fine all around work enabled
him to get his New York engagement.
Last year he participated in one hun
dred and five championship games
with the Aibanys, ranking seventh as
a batsman, with a percentage of 1899.

ence of his bullet in his adversary's
body affords its own convincing proof.
The wound is sufficiently serious to
show this. and yet not grave enough
to give ground for the belief that NJ.
de Rodays in his Misrepresentation
was guilty of wilful falsehood. If he
had Intentionally misstated facts the
truth undoubtedly would have been
shown on the dueling field and M. de
Rodays would have been lucky to get
off with his life. AS 1t Is, the result
affords, proof of both Boni's innocence
and of the unintentional character OF
DE Roday's wrongdoing. The shallow
ness of the latter's claims is exposed in
the fact that he did not even hit his
adversary. Had he done so the YER
dict against Castellane would have
been overwhelming. If each had shot
the other it would have been known
also that while Boni was guilty as
charged his opponent was actuated by
malign motives in making the charges.
Fortunately it is unnecessary to spec
ulate upon this proposition. M de
Rodays who was first punched into
fighting and then shot for doing SO,
may not be ready to view the matter
in proper and unprejudiced spirit,
but Boni's innocence has been demon
strated to the satisfaction of such per-
sons as still believe that the duel is
not merely foolish and wicked sur
vival of an age of barbarism.

But frivolous piece does not need
much besides the atmosphere of friv-

ton, is assuredly frivolous, and the
acting has been judged suited to the

the emotional passages-which have

to have disclosed talent worthy the

Ban Johnson has failed to come to

been thrown in the way of securing
some Of the players which had been
counted as safe for the American. A
fight is said to be on between Presi-

services of Third Baseman Bradley. 1t

Bradley had signed with Cleveland. but

the report.

third baseman to be traded. Bradley
received small salary. it being his

assigned to Somers by the American
leaguers when they decided to take
him. Hart is said to have offered
Bradley special inducements to remain
