 Ed Walsh of Meriden was bought yesterday by the Newark club. Wheth-
 CT or not the promotion will prove too
 much for him the future alone can de-
 eide. Walsh is a good pitcher in that
 he has some terrible speed, but he has
 no curve to speak of and apparently not much control At the bat he is slugger. Walsh is still young in the
 business, last year being his first sea-
 son in the game.

 Umpire Hank O'Day may make mis- takes, but he certainly does not kill the interest in the game by putting eV cry player who dares to question his decision out of the game. O'Day be-
 lieves in paying back in kind. When
 a player says something to him he us ually has reply. The other day one of the players said: ::'Hank, that was rotten decision" "Yes, it was, but am no poorer umpire than you are player. It's an even break between us.' That sort 6f Irepartee usually shuts the player up. Cincinnati Com

 Tn speaking of salaries recently Iplayer who at present is drawing over $6,O00 for his seasons work, said. ITO the bank for mine on the list and 18th of every month. I'm getting so stingy now that I hate to even pay laundry bills. The time will come, and I don't
 believe it is more than year distant,
 when there won't be 8 ball player in the business who will be getting over $2,5O0 year, and he'll have to have bells on him to get that. That the Iplayers realize that this is their har- vest is shown by the large numbeE who are salting their long green for a rainy day.S,iI can name a hundred of them who can show their bank accounts in five figures"
