According to the original draft. the Brooklyn club was assigned to Boston and Brush's club to Philadelphia on the dates named. The responsibility for the alteration rests with Dreyfus and Ebbets and the former when confronted by John son in the presence of MT. Herman ad- mitted the charge. but declared that che changes were made without design to do injustice to the American League.

The purpose was paipably to pre- vent friendly rival from reaping the full benefit of opening the season in the metropolis There Is practically clash on an occasion when by common consent the field was given to the American League under the turn-about arrange ment entered into a year ago.

The trouble with young ball players breaking in the big leagues, and with pitchers especially, Is their anxiety to do too much at the start. If they do not win their first game or two they are apt to lose heart, and pitcher who is not game cannot hope to succeed says Joel Warner. in an Eastern paper.
 There is a vast difference in the style of play in the major leagues and in the minor leagues The players in the big leagues are seasoned and understand the game thoroughly. They execute plays in an easy, graceful manner that is reve- iatfon to most of the new men. and the latter, unless they are cool and nervy. fight the ball in trying to duplicate the same plays, and generally with disastrous results.
 A new pitcher may probably have some pet curve or drop which he has worked successfully in the minor league. Let him have his way and he will want to toss his favorite curve to every hatsman that steps to the plate. He may fool the players for while, but when they get the hang of this curve it's all off with the youngster. t{
 The first principle in developing a new man Is to teach him to get command of the ball. Good control of the ball Is essential to pitchers success. After he has learned to put them over or around the plate as you signal for him to do. the hardest part of the catchers work is done
 If the pitcher insists upon using his

 "The American League has acted with great forbearance under aggravation in several instances, the most notable of which was the playing of Davis. assign ed to the Chicago White Stockings, with the New York National League Club with the sanction of President Pulliam and his encouragement in rebellion through ont the season by Mir. Bush. Juggling scheduled games between four Eastern clubs to virtually deprive the American League of the privilege of opening the championship season in New York Is an underhand and reprehensible proceeding to which Hart, Robinson, Soden and Porter would not be a party. The war between the major leagues ended with this element in the National when the peace pact was made. The bushwhack- ing contingent in the old organization persists in annoying the American League at every opportunity and if there Is a renewal of hosfllfties the provocation will come from this source.'

BESSIE BELL.

Miss Martha Young's Latest Work.
 A sweet, pathetic story of two years of child life in a convent, Is Bessie Bell" by Alabama's gifted writer. Martha Young. It Is true, it Is possible, and its working out is artistic. It is the story of a baby girls life in a convent. after she has been separated from her mother by the horrors of dreadful yellow fever epidemic, and the greater horrors of dreadful quarantine. The mother was absent when the dread disease swept from the home all life save '1babys. z whom a Sister of Charity rescues and takes to the sheitering care of a convent where she thrives-all but the heart. which hungers and starves for mother love and yet knows not to name it's want.
 Bessie Beil' is no problem story. No one in 1t is blamed. There Is no wicked villain to stir up revenge in the hearts of the little readers for whom 1t is writ ten. The facts that are prominently put forth are that institutional life is not
 all-sufficient for child nature. that no matter how tender, how thoughtful, how kind the care. there is. there must be. great void in the life of the little one when mama" is left out.
 The author describes most graphically the routine life in an institution where every thing is ''by the hour" The monot-
 ony of the rows of little girls all in
 checked aprons which all had straps and buttons" the evenness of favors where each little one has one, two, or three cakes-but never one more than | another. And she describes it all in baby ] thoughts. All through Bessie BeIl'' runs the mu. | sic of the angelus. the vespers, and the rosary; (though none, Is mentfoned). All | through 1t is the scent of the magnolia but all through 1t, too, Is the tone Of l motherless gloom. The slow dawning of the meaning of
 mama on the infant mind Is presented | with an artists pen. l One day a sweet faced woman sits be-
 side Bessie Bell in the mountains where
 she is sent with Sister Helen Vlncula tc
 ''get we'll" and some how the baby girl
 sits very close to the black gowned wo-
 man and asks her "are you Just-a-Lady or are you a Mammal" ,. | The little hand is held closer than ever l by Sister Angela, or Sister Theckla, oI
 even Sister Helen Vincula or Justina. The Lady proved to be Bessie Bell's 1 mama" and. though she did not under
 stand that, she knew she had met the ''Wisest Woman in the World who
 knew what little girls had almost forgot | ton to remember.
 Bessie Bell'' Is charming book fol little ones; but more does 1t speak to the older grown, for there is a great truth half hidden. half revealed, in the simple | language used.
 Bessie Bell" Is beautifully illustrated | by Ida Dougherty. All through the \ speaking pictures do their part fin the | telling of story. which grown folk love | to read, while little upturned faces ca
 gerly listen. Published by The Scott Thaw Company, New York.
