baseball Notes-

Manager Duffy is starting out to give
Philadelphians good team by releasing
some of the best players.
Whatever may be said of RABBIT Rob-
inson's infield work, Washingtonians will
miss those dazzling demonstrations of
how well he could not play the outfield.
The fact that the Washington club will
have five players coaching college teams
may be of great value to the Senators.
They may learn how to win game occa-
sionally.
Kip Selbach first started in baseball
as catcher, but being a Methodist, he
insisted on catching while on his knees.
Then Gus Schmelz put him in the out
field, where he had to stand up-like a
Presbyterian.
George Wood. famous long ago as a
player and member of the an-American
team that made the trip around the
world, has been appointed on the umpire
staff of the Southern league.
Tom Lotus says that by the way of di-
version he is willing to sell his stock in
the Washington baseball club; but it's no
diversion with Ban Johnson.-Chicago
Record-Herald.
The Pittsburg Press says Sam Lever
is chopping wood" Is that easier than
saving it?
John Heydler, assistant secretary of the
National league, has a new score sheet,
which will be put into use this year. It
viii show every move of the game. and
Will also lessen the work of the secre-
tary IN making up the averages at the
end Of the season. John should fix up
when he strikes out.
John T. Brush says that if the Giants
do not win the pennant this year, they
will finish so close to it that the other
clubs will know his team was after it.
Joe Yeager, the Detroit pitcher and in

POINTS PARTY MORAL.
Roosevelt Tells Lesson Taught
by Republican History.

New York, March 3.-The following is
the full text of the "foreword' written
by President Roosevelt for 1.-THE His
tory of the Republican Party" by
Francis Curtis, to be published by G. P.
Putnam's Sons. The PREDATORY article
is entitled The Mission of the Repub-
ican Party, by Theodore Roosevelt"
and says:
Among the many wise and noble
utterances of Abraham Lincoln there
is one which attracted less attention
than by rights it ought to have at
tracted.
1T was delivered on November 10,
1854, just after Lincoln's reelection to
the presidency, in response to a seren-
ades and runs in part as follows:
1t long has been a grave question
whether any government not too strong
for the liberties of its people can be
strong enough to maintain its exist
ence in great emergencies. On this
point the present rebellion brought our
republic to a severe test. The presi-
Dental election occurring in its regu-
lar course during the rebellion added
not little strain. The strife
of election is but human nature prac-
tically applied to the facts in the case.
What occurred in this case must ever
occur in similar cases. Human nature
does not change.

US therefore study the incidents of this
trial as a philosophy and learn wisdom

wrongs to be avenged. Now that
the election is over, may not all, hav-

TRIBUTE TO sTILwELL.
Wichita Eagle Gives Orient President
a Send OFF.

The Wichita Eagle says editorially:
Probably among all the great railway
promoters of this country no other than
Arthur Stilwell could have conceived,
much less attempted the immediate con-
StructiOn, of a transcontinental line link
ing the middle west, the great agricultu-
raj region of the United States, with the
oriental countries, by the way of the
mouth of the Gulf of California Or had
such an enterprise been conceived of by
others, probably no one of them would
have attempted to naturalization of such
a seeming dream in the face of such dis
couraging financial conditions as have
confronted Stnweli. But appreciating the
unreasonable possibilities of the vast UNI
dertaking and grasping the infinite de-
tails of his great conception, and realizing
the advantages to be gained in its speed
lest possible construction, advantages
growing out of the acquisition of the
Philippines and the increase of trade be-
tween the United States and the far east
of late. with Stilwen it was but to fully
comprehend to Immediately act His en-

RAILROAD news.
Negro Refused Entrance to
Katy Flyer at Ft. Scott.
Had Obtained a Pullman Ticket
TO st. Louis.
MAY MEAN LAWSUIT.
Company Thinks 1t Is q Scheme
for BlackmaiI.
G. 2. A. Morton Sustains Action
of Conductor.

Fort Scott, Kan, March AIS the
Katy flyer pulled into this city last
night from the south, a coal black
negro man was demanding that a
berth be made up for him in one Of the
sleepers where white people were retir-
ing. The situation was one with which
the conductor had never been confront
ed before and he was completely ''up
stump" The negro had a ticket for
berth in that sleeper. How he got it
was mystery to the conductor. for
it seems to be an unwritten law that
when negro applies for a sleeper
ticket the berths are all to be "taken."
The conductor realized that, having his
ticket the negro had some rights which
under the law the company was doubt
less bound to recognize, but he never
for moment had a notion of giving
the fellow berth in that sleeper.
Neither did General Passenger Agent
Morton, of the Katy, who happened to
be on the train, and to whom the con-
ductor appealed for advice.
The negro passenger boarded the
train at Muscogee yesterday afternoon.
He had bought through ticket to
Nashville, Tenn, and also a sleeper
ticket to st. Louis. If the agent of the
company at Muscogee sold them to him
he certainly has a claim for damages
dSdlIlSl the railroad company Tor re-
fuSing to permit him to use the sleeper
ticket. Under the 18th amendment of
the constitution of the United States,
white people and black people must
look alike to a railway company or
conductor. This, of course, was known
by both the conductor and Mr.. Morton,
but they knew the company would
rather pay that negro $4,000 or SO than
to permit him to sleep in that sleeper
last night.
There may be a loophole through
which the company can crawl. 1t is a
possibility that some white man pur-
chased the ticket and gave it to the
negro. If this was done, the whole
affair might be a scheme to get just
such a claim against the railroad com
pany. The Nashville ticket was one of
the particular form that requires that
a description of the passenger be
punched in the margin of the ticket
This was not done, so the conductor
could not tell whether or not the ticket
was sold to the negro in person. That
the description was not punched in the
ticket is a matter that the agent at
Muscogee will have to explain.

Denverite, James Edward Britt has
started active training for his coming
contest.
"Corbett is a great little fighter, -
Britt said after the champions mill

He is another who is impressed with
Corbett's showing.
"Corbett's the best man at his weight
in the world" he says. "He had me
beaten in the second round. After I
got that awful wallop I was dizzy and
all in lust wait until he hands that
to Jimmy Britt and he will never come
back"
Sullivan left today for Chicago, where
he will start work for a match with
Benny Yanger in the Windy City.
Young Corbett will not be able to
buy a vast tract of real estate or make

he got for beating Sullivan. There was
only $500 in the house. and Corbett
himself guaranteed his opponent So, 800,

not often that a loser profits more than
the winner, and especially where the

Detroit Makes a $4,000 Offer

But st. Louis May Not Let

De Hass Robson Doesn't Need
the Money Very Badly.

St.Louis, March 3.-An announcement
was recently made that the Detroit
Americans had offered the Robisons
$4,000 for Third Baseman Jimmy Burke.
Manager Barrows, of the wolverines,
has been asked by the Detroit scribes
to o. K. the story
He said it was true In every particu-
lar, and added:
THAT amount of money goes, not
only for Burke, but for Davy' Brain
If the Robisons would rather let me
have him than Burke.
THE one stipulation 1 put on the Of
fer was that they must deliver the
player into my hands"
Five thousand good simoleons for
Burke2
Whewl
If Bob Hedges or any other chap
but Frank De Hass Robson was in
charge of the Cardinals the bid would
be snapped updn q iiffy.
Random earnestly hopes that Burke
is going to make good the coming
summer season. A year ago his errors
and general listless play were blamed
on internal discussions.
The coming season there won't be any
''dissensiOns,' and Burke and the rest
of the malcontents Of 1903 have got to
cut loose and play the hottest article
of ball they know how.
Anyhow, $4,000 is too much for Burke.
The Robisons don't exactly need the
money, but in order to keep values of
tossers anything like even they should
gobble up the Detroit clubs chunk of
coin.
