With the gathering of the club owners OF the
National Baseball League in this city to-day
will probably begin the adjustment Of the differ
ences which have existed between the two fac
tions in the last two or three months. From
the talk by the club owners who have already
reached the city it is the evident intention TO
appoint committee from each faction, that will
prepare a report or agreement TO be presented
10 the meeting which may be held tomorrow or
Wednesday II is expected that even II the
question OF the presidency cannot be settled
ancably the club owners will bury the
hatchet long enough 70 agree on a playing
schedule for the season now so rapidly ap-
preaching. The discussion of the winter months
ought TO do the game good in the end. Syndi-
cate baseball ought to be wiped out. and the
sooner il IS done the better It will be for pro-
fessonal baseball. While the prospects for even
a good team in this borough not bright, IL
looks : If the Brooklyn club viii be able 10
put j first class team in the field, as has been
the case for several years. Then those who
cannot patrOniZe cheap baseball can go over the
bridge and will be reasonably sure TO find some

owners will come 10 early agreement and
then retire from public view and content them
selves with counting the bright sheke!s they
come in at the tuTnsties. In the college world

Easter speeding fell short OF expectations yester-
day. After the rain Friday and Saturday few
road riders believed the driveway could be put IN
shape for fast work in time for the usual Sunday
morning brushes and many Of the Speedway stars
were missing. The forces Of Superintendent Quinn
distinguished themselves however, by narrowing
up the mud effectively that before midday the
favorte stretch north OF Washington Bridge was
in very fair condition Several thousand persons
assembled along the sidewalks TO watch the horses

The ruthless slaughter of game. more espe-
cially of various species of deer in India by
the natives has been a subject of increasing at
tention on the part Of sportsmen in that coun-
try for some years. and the interest Lord Curzon
is known to take in sporting matters is no doubt
answerable for the recent agitation in favor OF
protective measures being taken by the impe-
rial government. Rules drawn up by private
associations for their members and by the
military authorities for the guidance OF, sol
ders are in force in several parts Of India;
but unfortunately, the man who does the mis-
chief. the pot hunting native who spares not
youth nor sex, has soul above rules that lack
legal force. and destruction with fiintlock,
and pitfaI goes on at all seasons. Lord Curzon
Is in sympathy with the movement to legaliZe
close seasons and place restrictions killing

culties in the way where the cutiVator shoots

The question of long cranks exercised the
mind OF the cycling public even prior to the days
Of the safety. About the year 1880 there was
considera BILE discussion on the matter. and 1t is
within memory that 1-inch cranks were used on
"a and 80 inch ordinares Those who tried
them found them too long and discarded them.

LOVE OUT OF DATE
BY GEORGE r. sIMMs.

Love and the love songs Of the past
have no place in our modern civiliZa-
ton. We will speak of love, but il
is either not the love of our fathers
and mothers, or we have new and
improvde methods of expressing it.
Love. What is it?
There is not one young man or
young woman of the really swell
SETS in a hundred who could give an
Ineligible definition of the word.
In the rural districts we can occasion
ally find some Of the old sentiment
the love that bound two hearts and
lives together for better or worse"
but it is almost unknown in the cities,
and even in the country places are
rapidly outgrowing the old senti-
mental traditions that made happy
marriages and left but little work for
the divorce courts.
The time was when the young
woman displayed a maidenly shyness
in the presence of her lover; when
the mere mention of his name caused
a blush to mount to her cheeks; when
the man with whom she had plighted
her troth represented to her all the
masculine virtues. Those were the
days Of the old reign when the "old,
old story was ever new. Those
were the DAYS of romance
But today love is out Of date; a
back number; dead one.
The girl of today does not set her
lover on pedestal and point to him
as a model for the world to follow.
No. she is much more likely to refer
TO him as sort Of mandy pamby''
being one who is we'll enough as a
convenient person to escort her to the
aters, to pay for her flowers and car
riages-possibly to marry her If some
other fellow does not come along who
appeals more forcibly to some Of her
changing moods.
It is convenience, not love, that
brings about the majority of the mar
riages of today.
Neither is the young man Of today
the young man of a generation or two
past. He no longer wOrships at the
shrine of femininity. He does not
choose his language in her presence,
but rather she hears from his lips the
latest street slang, if not profanity.
He is not overly careful that she
should not see him at the gambling
table or coming from the saloon door.
In fact he cares much less for the
good opinion of the young ladies Of
his acquaintance than he did Of yore
And it is the young lady who i:
greatly to blame for this state O.
affairs.
She has sacrificed her place in hi
estimation by not only laughing a
his vulgarities, but Oftentimes indulg
ing in like ones. She uses the mos
approved slang; she discusses withou
a blush subjects which were as 1
sealed book to her mother and grand
mother; she is too good a fellow
with the boys for them to appreciat
her true place as woman. She
is who has driven much of the re
nance from this staid old world @
ours. May the days of the futur
bring it back to us.

Whe difference In Animals.

"I've worked around animals more
or less all my life until the trolleys
did away with horses" said the mo-
torman, and I have noticed particu-
lagly the effect drunken men has on
them. A horse hates man with a
Jag worse than the devil hates holy
water, but dog seems to feel that a
drunkard isn't responsible for himself
and acts accordingly. Il dog, no
matter how fierce he is, will never
bite a'drunken man. He seems to
know by instinct when q man is under
the weather and treats him much as
he would treat child. But with a
horse its different. A horse treats q
drunken man with contempt-doesn' t
want to have anything to do with him.
There used to be an old bum who
loafed around the.car stables, and who
somehow OF other always managed to
keep leaded up ITO the nozzle. Some
nights he wonld creep into stall and
90 to sleep ia the straw. The horses,
when they had &nished the last run at
night, weuId alwavs:be ready to drop
in their stalls, but j never new horse
that would sleep with the bum. Rath-
9. ssss l;;s down alongside him the
horse would stand up all night.
