Unlike all other managers who have
been as successful as he, Selee was
never famed as a player. He played
some baseball as an amateur, but new

His first connection with professional
baseball was in 1884 at Waltham,
Mass. In the Massachusetts league, at
q time when Jimmy Ryan was in Hol
yoke in the same organization. Dur
ing the same year this club, with Selee.
was transferred to Lawrence, Mass,

Oshkosns6Adleelee went to Omaha, his
team finishing fifth In the Western
league race, but In 1889, sill in the
same league, Selee led Omaha to
championship, and thereby gained his
second minor league pennant ny wide
margin. Selee's work had already won
recognition in the big league, and dur
ing that year he acted as agent OF the
Boston club of the National league In
signing players for the Hub.
The following year. 1890, Selee en-
tered the ranks Of major league man
ayers, becoming manager OF the Bos-
ton team Again he crossed the base
ball path Of James A. Hart, succeeding
the present Chicago National league
president as manager at Boston. Hart
Boston team had finished second In
1880. and in 1890 Seize landed his new
charges in fifth place
Among the players whom Selee had
on his team, however, were Lowe, until
recently captain Of the Chicago Ma
tionals; Herman Long, Kid Nichols
who is still with the Boston Nationals
and others, all recruited from the West
ern league and in 1891 began Selee's
long list of championships, the Boston
club winning the pennant in the Ma
tional league. Long and Nichols owe
most of their success to the interest
showed in them by Selee.
In 1892 came another pennant under
the two series plan" Boston winning
the first series, Cleveland the second
and Boston finally winning the play off
and with It a second National league
pennant.
Then in 1893 Selee made 1t three
straight, Boston winning again, and
Seize had tied Anson's three year rec
ord of 1881. 1882 and 1888.
Ned HanIon and Baltimore then
sprang into prominence, and that COM
binatfon won three successive remnants
In 1894, 1898 and 1896, Boston finishing
third, sixth and fourth in the twelve
club league.
Selee was not to be denied, however,
and he soon gave Hanlon dose Of his
own medicine Boston won the Ma
tional league championship In both
1897 and 1898, each year beating Balti-
more, which finished second.
The consolidation of the Baltimore
and Brooklyn clubs enabled Hanlon to
tie Selee, for in the years 1899 and 1900
Hanlon landed the flags, giving himself
total of FIVE championships, the same
as Selee and Arson. In 1899 Selee was
second with Boston and in 1900 third.
With the raids of the American league
upon the Nationals stars in 1901 Fred
Clarke and Pittsburg stepped in. win
ming the championship, and Selee had
to content himself with fifth place for
Boston
Last year Selee was induced to go to
Chicago by President Hart, and with
a weak team the former Boston man
landed the club fifth.

NEW GOVERNOR FOR PANAMA.
Obaldio's Accession Part of Plan to
Pass Canal treaty.

Hass SuHaA treaty!
PANAMA, Sept. Ex-senator Obaldia
yesterday took over the functions of
governor of Panama. The event was
the occasion for great popular demon
STATIONS by all parties. 1t is thought
that the appointment of Governor
Obaldia may perhaps exert influence
against secessionist ideas, not only be-
cause he Is q native of Panama, which
in fact engages for him the sympathise
of all, but because his appointment app
parently is part of a general plan the
result of which will be the election of
General Reyes TO the presidency and
the approval of a canal treaty salts
factory to the United States.
Governor Obaldia in reply to DIR.
Florentine Goenaga. president of the
high court of justice, said:
Il maintain because they were well
meditated the sincere opinions l ex-
pressed is a senator of the republic.
l consider that the interests of the
world urgently demand the construc-
ton of a canal, and they have a right
to ask u cooperation. The conces-
sions, the object of which is to serve
these interests, though they may imply
a sacrifice of sovereignty, are not
against the national dignity. We can
not deny civilization what it requires
from us-to continue its victorious
march"
All the speeches delivered at this
function, not only by isthmians, but
by natives of the rest of the republic,
demonstrated that all the inhabitants
of Panama are in favor of the treaty.

SANTIAGO, Cuba, Sept. 21.-Speaking
1t the village of Ell Caney, close to the
scene of the battle between the Ameri-
ans and the Spaniards, President Pal
ma urged the Cuban people to jealous
~ guard the ideals they had obtained
by means Of intervention.
The presidential party were enthusi-
astically received on their arrival at
Ell Caney. The alcalde having re-
marked that the gathering was mostly
composed of veterans, President Palma
assured them he wanted to pay the
army as badly as anybody, because the
payment was not only an act of JUS
struction of the country. Nobody
loved Cuban independence more than
himself, continued the president.
The only way to sacrifice the repub-
lie would be to bring about a civil war.
He believed there was not one veteran
in a thousand who would not prefer to
maintain the honor of Cuba even 70
the extent Of ~forfeiting his soldiers
pay. The Cubans, having accepted
United States Intervention as a means
of ending their troubles, were under
an obligation to follow those ideals
and prove themselves a peaceable peo-
pie.
Speaking of the appearance Of the
band of insurrectloniSts near Santiago,
President Palma condemned the hid
den instigators of the uprising. The
