ANTI-AMERICAN SENTIMENT
Growing Rapidly in Germany Over the
Venezuelan Incident

The New York Herald's European edition
publishes the following from its CORE
spondent at Berlin: " r
Il had an opportunity today Of talking
with German member Of newly estab-
lfshed league for the promotion of good re-
lations between Germany and the United
States.
"a private meeting of the league was
held yesterday. but adjourned because it
was considered that the present situation
was such that 1t was impossible to call the
members together. Even to be known to
belong to such an association at the pres@
ent time would be liable to bring any Ger
man into trouble with his compatriots.
The aforementioned gentleman, 1 must
tell you In order that you may understand
fully the weight of his words, is a stanch
friend of the United States. He deplores
bitterly Germany's having gone into the
Venezuelan question. After talking over
the growing force of anti-German sentf-
ment In the United States and expressing
his regret at the same, he said:
have never known sentiment in Ger
many so highly wrought up against Ameri-
cans, not even at the time of the Spanish
war. Wherever l go hear the same thing
Strong sentiments are expressed against
Americas attitude and against the idea
she can dictate to this country. The Ger
mans are not Spaniards nor will they stand
being so treated.
God forfend that President Roosevelt
should make any call upon Germany, as
proposed by the Journal, to raise the block
ade. He would receive such a reply from
here as would astonish Americans

honors without him IT'S dead one"
In the second place. Delehanty will not go
to New York for the simple reason that
the American League cannot afford to lose
so valuable player. Next fall the reserve
clause will again be in force and Der
will be compelled to resign with Washing
ton or be traded to some other club In the
same organization. The idea that Dele
hanty was not popular in this city last sea-
son Is the veriest rot. He is not good
mixer" but II such a position is possible
he was certainly the idol of the regular
patrons. Base ball patrons like to see hard
hitting above all else, and the way Del
slammed them out last season drew many
people to the park who would not have
gone but for his stick work.
Another canard Is the one which says
that Delehanty does not want to play in
Washington. The phrase ANY old place
where / can hang my hat is home, sweet
home applies to Del" His signing with
New York was for the big stipend alone. as
he has frequently said that he did not care
for the big city. Instead of $4,000. Dele
hanty has received but $1,000. and he can
easily be made to return this amount. 1t
would be an interesting matter If a vote
could be taken in Washington as to whether
Delehanty is wanted here or not. It would
result in an almost unanimous call for the
big fellow.

From the New York Journal.

ALL A Washington base ball enthusiast,
who is closely connected with the Wash
ington club and who Is now in New York
city. said yesterday:
THE Washington club Is not In a posi-
ton where 1t will be willing to pay the
$4,000 advance money that Delehanty re-
ceived from the New York club. In the first
place, Delehanty, Notwithstanding his big
reputation throughout the country, was not
popular last year in Washington. He was
looked upon as somewhat of a gold brick.
Washington fans that Del is the whole
thing. He is not considered of SO much i'm
portance, at any rate, that he Is entitled to
a bank presidents salary.
ITO tell the truth, Del queered himself in
Washington, and there would be few tears
shed IL he went to other pastures. The
Washington club directors, am sure, will
not pay 'Ders' back bills to secure him.
Taking this into consideration. with the
fact that Del does not want to play In
Washington and does desire to play in New
York. the fallacy of forcing the player to do
what he doesn't want to Is evident
'.Delehanty's work with WASHINGTON, II
made to go there and obliged to play for
almost nothing, would necessarily be half
hearted at the best. .s
