EAsTERN's GOOD START.
First Of the High School Teams to Get
Practice.

The Eastern High School was the first OF
the high schools to get their team out for
the season, Capt Lnthicum having had a
majority Of the boys out since Labor day
and had them doing light practice. The
first game OF the season was played by this
team Friday afternoon, on the Lincoln
Park gridron, when they defeated the Con-
gressionals by a score of ID to o. In a Is
minute half The Eastern boys were out
weighed by their opponents. but they man
aged to hold them in check Richardson
was in his old position at guard and did
good work in breaking through and tao

season. showed up well at center. Field, at
right half, was in his usual fine form and
went through the line and around the ends
for long gains. The Easterns will play
their second game Wednesday afternoon on
the same grounds with the Vigilants.

National League Clubs, Standing,

After days rest and sightseeing, the
Senators finally got down to work yester-
day afternoon in ST. Louis hooking up with
the Browns for double header. Both con-
tests were somewhat remarkable. as they
were won and lost by exactly the same
scores of l to o. Nearly 1900 spectators
saw the games, and the Washington boys.
especially Manager Donovan, were cheered
heartily for their good work. both at the
bat and in the field
The star play of the afternoon fell to
Center Fielder ONeill, who chased back al
most to the center field fence and pulled
down WalIace's long fly with his left hand.
The onlookers thought the ball was going
over O'NellTs head by several feet, but the
Senator made a tremendous jump into the
air and when he came down with one knee
on the ground he had the sphere. The
crowd cheered O'Neiil for several minutes,
although the catch kept the st. Louis boys
from winning
Cassidy Mullin and Hill played a beau
tiful game in both contests, and the latter
soaked out the timely single that sent the
only and winning run over the plate.
Wolfe and Petty were hitched up in the
first game and the Senator held the Browns
down to four hits, while the latter allowed
the Washingtonians six, ONeill, Hill and
Stahl making all the singles credited to the
Donovanites.
For eight innings the Browns and Sena-
tors took turns handling out ciphers to each
other and the only run Of the game was
scored by Washington in the ninth inning.
Kittredge started off with a grounder to
Wallace that was quickly and accurately
passed to first. Wolfe tried to knock the
ball out of the lot, but instead a weak hit
in front of the plate was the result. The
Senators pitcher started for first and Ka-
hoe picked the ball up clean, but threw over
Jones head. the sphere bounding against
second. O'Neill tried to bunt couple of
times and then sent out long fly to
Hynes, Wolfe racing to third on the out.
Mr.. Hunter Hill then ambled to the plate
and on the first ball pitched to him by
Petty laced It over second for a clean sin
gle and Wolfe scored what proved to be
the winning run.
In the second game Jack Townsend and
the young phenom, Glade. were on the rub
Der for their respective teams, and the lat
ter came out on top. Townsend passed a
man to first and then made a wild pitch,
which, coupled with long single by Jones,
scored the only run of the game. But six
hits were credited to the Browns. while the
Senators made but five, two of which fell
to the lot of Center Fielder ONeill.
In the sixth inning of the second game,
the Senators shot a scare into the st.
Louis fold, as il looked for minute as
though they would tie UP the score. o Neiu

looked formidable and Glade passed him up.

BRUSH IGNORES AMERICANS.
Claims New York Nationals Have WoI
GLORY Enough.

John T. Brush, president Of the New
York National Base Ball Club, has issued a
statement praising McGraw and the other
victorious Giants. and declaring that the
winning of the pennant OF the National
League is honor enough. He says:
One of the purposes of the National
League. according to article Nv of section 2
of the constitution, Is to establish and
regulate the professional base ball cham
pionship of the United States. From the
beginning. this has been an annual event.
and each year. after the strenuous work
of playing the schedule, the victorious club
has rested from it's work and has worn
Its laurels unquestioned. until they were
won from 1t in some succeeding year by
some other club Of the National League.
There Is nothing In the constitution or
requires its victorious club to submit it's
championship honors to a contest with
victorious club of a minor league.
There may be those who think the WIN
ner in the Eastern Southern or some
other league Is superior to the winner in
the National That is their privilege, 30
to believe. and there be no criticism
for such opinions. but that furnishes no
reason why the champion club of the Ma
tional should enter into a contest with
them. The club that wins from the clubs
that represent the cities of Boston, Brook
Ign. New York. Philadelphia, Pittsbury.
ShiSdSo dHu o. LOUIS, the oikPt
largest and most important cities in Amerf-
ca In series OF 154 games, Is entitled to
the honor of the champions of the United
states, without being called upon to con-
tenc with or recognize clubs from minor
league towns.
Neither the players nor the manager Of
the Giants. nor myself. desire any greater
glory than to win the pennant in the
National League. That Is the greatest
honor that can be obtained in base ball
We are content when our season is ended
to rest upon our laurels. and will be ready
TO DEFEND our title in the contest of 1905

RoosEvELT ANp MoNRoE.

The Philadelphia Record, discussing the sIanderous criticisms of former Presidents made by MT. Roosevelt some years ago. thus compares him with one of the men introduced:
 It has been said with some truth that between the really great and the really great comparisons are unnecessary, be- cause they rarely enter into competi- tfon. Contrasts serve best for illus fration and instruction. What more striking contrast can be found in our political history than is afforded by the firmness, moderation, rectitude and wisdom of Monroe's administration and by the fussiness and empty parade of the administration of his latest suc- cessor? Another contrast is presented by the fact that James Monroe was twice called to the Presidency by the almost unanimous voice of his fellow citizens, while the accidental President is about to be nominated by an army of oficehoIders and office expectants amid the misgivings of thousands of con serVative Republicans and the Opposi- fion of a great party that profoundly distrusts the man, hls advisers and his methods.

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

It may not be profitable. but it is often interesting to discuss what might have been. The past is behind us. We know what might have been if things had been ordered differently. Never thelcss, we often like to speculate and read what others think would have followed a different line of action on important occasions. The Portland oregcnian, for example, discussing cer- tain events following the war between the States, uses this reasoning:
 It is not too much to say that the people North and South trusted Lin- coin so thoroughly that when the war military and civil leaders of the Con- federacy to Washington and said, "Gentlemen, the work of war Is over; if peace is to have any noble victories 1t belongs to you to win them. What would you, under the circumstances, consider my best policy for healing the wounds of the war and making tho waste places of the South due to war not summoned you in council as parti- sans or cheap politicians; I have sum moned you as able and honorable sol- diers of war, as patriotic statesmen in VI paper to write your terms, and make only one restriction. viz, that by my official proclamation, by the legislation of Congress, negro slavery is forever extinct To that extent war has ir- revocably legislated but the political status of the negro; as to whether he shall. soon or late. become a voter, IS an open question; equality. of civic rights under law he must have. but suffrage is a question of privilege and political expediency." then to this ap- peal of Lincoln the leaders of tho South, military and civil--and at that time the great soldiers of the South were its civil leaders--would unques- tionably have met Lincoln half way and proposed a scheme of settlement that Lincolns personal influence would have persuaded Congress to enact, and reconstruction would have proceeded upon a sane and statesmanlike basis.
 This, of course, is purely speculative, but there is much of sound and ,sensi- ble reasoning in it. There is no aues- tioning the bitterness which the South ern people felt towards Lincoln just at the close of hostilities. Whether

Hotel Lobby in Washington Post.
 During two weeks stay in Indiana I was delighted to find the Democrats of the Hoosier State so hopeful of tue coming campaign and so bent on win ming a victory" remarked Hon. Will Congressman from Buffalo, N. Y, at the New Willard. "The belief was freely expressed by Indianians of prominence that Judge Parker would be nominated at St. Louis and that he would be elected. This opinion is championed by that astute manager and experienced partisan. Hon. Thomas Taggart. As to him. I'd like to say here that there is no man in the coun- try who deserves better of his party than Mir Taggart and it wocld be the best possible stroke of politics to make him chairman of the Democratic Ma tional Committee"
 What do you think of the prospects of your party, MT. Ryan?
 "CandidlY, regard the outlook as fiattering in the extreme. We are go- ing to nominate Parker at St Louis and we are going to carry New York. New Jersey, and Connecticut for him. From the way the Republicans are act ing in Illinois and Wisconsin, 1t doesn t look as though they cared whether Col, Roosevelt would win or not. With the election of Democratic President it is an easy prediction that the next House of Representatives will be Dem will be of that complexion in any event, for there is a vast amount of dissatis- faction with the party in power and enough close districts in the country at large to overturn the present Re- publican majority,

ENCOURAGING SIGNS.

We took occasion the other day to say Hearst was doing the Democratic Party a substantial service by sobering st, by bringing home to it's members a deep sense of responsibility. We said further that his campaign. odious as we regard the means he has employed in furthering 1t, would stimulate an in- terest in the election among a class of people who have not hitherto taken We think this is true, and we want to observe in the same way that Roose- welt is helping the Democratic Party. His candidacy is quietly but surely compelling a choice by the Democrats of some man who will stand most per. fectly in contrast with the bronco- buster. His own people have a strong of doing things. and their talk and criticism are helping to clear the air for the Democracy. Judge Parker's candidacy. growing steadily in force and persuasiveness, owes much to Roosevelt's character. Roosevelt is so uuJu0lClal LndI lI lS ICliSl III SAPSCt- ancy to turn to a judicial figure, char acter and mind.
 There is another encouraging sign in the open and violent dissensions within the Republican ranks in the west The breach in Wisconsin is past healing, and in Illinois it is patent that no solution can be found that will not leave thousands of sore spirits on one side or the other. The restless ness and discomfort so manifest in Wisconsin and Illinois among Republi- cans we take to indicate just as deep dissatisfaction then among the peo- pie generally. One of our shrewdest State politicians said recently that this is a year of tidal movements in opin- ion, that there are many surprises in store. We are not speaking in a pure Party sense in asserting there are many signs that the tide is toward our orr ganization.
