Base Ball Notes

The Senators left Washington this morn
ing at 8 o'clock for Philadelphia, where
four games are scheduled with the cham
pion Athletics.
Four victories out of six games played

Manager LOTUS. These cast-o6s are cer-
tainiy making good in Washington.

addition kept the Quakers from tieing the
score.
Little Robinson makes a mistake in not
selecting shortstop for his best position.
He seems to play with more confidence
there and his work Saturday was fawless.
Bill Clarke got back in the game and
was tower of strength. Orth was slated
to pitch. but the heavy work Friday at
first doubtless made the Virginia boy tired.
He will work today at Philadelphia
The National League has nineteen batters
in the 800 class. but with the American
League pitchers to go against there would
be about eight. 'Ducky' Holmes has been
playing ball quite a while, and Is authority
for the statement that he never went
against many good twirlers in his life
as he has this season.
All Manager LOTUS need do for next
season is to fix up his outield. The rest
Of the team looks all right, but trio of
strong batters should be secured for the
outfield. but this is exactly what every
other manager is trying for. Injuries to
players is what has knocked the Senators
out of the running this season. nothing
else.
The Senators play four games with the
Athletics. and they are certainly up
against hard proposition, but perhaps
their luck has turned and a victory or two
might come our way. Friday they return
home to meet the Bostons in a series of
four games. and these contests should be
good ones, especially as the Beaneaters
have the champion bee in their caps. 1t
may turn out that the Senators will pull
them down as they did the Athletics.
It Ia estimated that the attendance at all
games to be played in the Southern League
this season will be about $50 O00 at the first
los games, the aggregate of which was
t55, ,281, or an average Of 1.424 at each game.
Estimating that each person Of the grand
aggregate shall pay 25 cents to see the
game, the Southern League will take In
about O.OO0 at the gate. As the associa-
ton gets 10 per cent OF the gate receipts,
It can be seen that financial conditions are
healthy for the organization itself. The In.
dividual clubs should do well II the salary
list 10 not too high. The clubs get all this
grand-stapd and privilege receipts, which
amounts In itself to considerable. Prest-

PROF. euoT.s INVESTIGATION.
A Peculiar Discovery Made by Presi-
dent Eliot of Yale.


Prof. Charles w Eliot, president Of
Harvard University, has reported the
results of novel investigation. He as
certained through the class secretaries
Of six Harvard classes more than %
years out Of college. the number of sur
viving children born to members of those
classec These figures show with start
ling uniformity that the average number
of children is almost exactly two 70 each
family. la the case of one class the
number of children is exactly twice the
number Of married members, while in
two others the number Of children Is
within one of twice the number of mar
ried members. Mr. Eliot remarks:
IF 1t be assumed that the surviving
children are about one-han males it fol
lows that these six classes have by no
means reproG 7.c1 themselves; that they
have, indeed, fallen % per cent short
Of il. Twenty eight per cent Of the mem
bers Of these classes are unmarried and
those who are married have on the aver
age only two surviving children, 80 that
the married pairs just reproduce them
selves on the average.
"The table suggests that the highly
educated part Of the American people
does not increase the population at oil,
but, on the contrary, fails to reproduce
Itself
1T is probable that the regrettable re-
suit indicated Ia the above table is due
In part to the late postponcment Of mar
riage on the part Of educated young iaen,
a postponement which the protracted ed
ucation now prescribed for men who en-
ter the learned and scientific professions
makes almost Unavoidable
