HENRY FOR NASHUA.

George w. Henry, the Springfield and Hartford outfelder of last season, will join Nashua of the New England league Monday. The player closed with Manager s. D. Flanagan yester- day and he is likely to be a regular in the outfeld of the New Hampshire club. Last season Henry did some splendid work for Hartford. retaining his place all season as the clubs best batsman. He was also 'run-getter and fielder of effectiveness. Henry's release short time ago was considered surprising in view of the work he per formed last year.
 Since the announcement of Henry being at liberty was first made. there have been openings for him in all seo- tions in independent baseball. He was inclined to go south. but after few days of dickering with Nashua. he de- cided to. report to that club. The player is in good condition. having done considerable roadwork. He has also served az coach of the high school players and has had practice on Hamp- den park.

or Derby meet tomorrow night down In the Simonsville Athletic club those who are present will see one of the fastest and most exciting matches that mas ever taken place in this city, Pickett in this match will demonstrate that he is not only clever defensive man on the mat but he will also prove c0nclustvely that he is comer wpen1 offensive work is concerned. Speh hat whole lot to lose if he fails to throw Pickett two falls in one hour, becanMe 1t will bar him from. match with John D. Kelly of this city, whom lte IS anxious to try conclusions with. Speh has every confidence in himself however and expects to trim the Wa terbury boy to the queens taste. Pick ett is just as confident and he wdll give the Derby lad good run for his money and believes that if he makes an extra effort he can put Speh's shoulders to the mat. It will be match worth travelling far to see.
 THE RUSSIAN REPLIES.
 A few days ago Harry Pollok, man. ager for Tom Jenkins, wrote a letter to the press roasting Hackenschmldt for failure to meet his man and here Is how the Russian replies: { Although I have always vefrained from venting my grievances in the columns of the public press, cannot allow Pollok's open letter to go by without asking space in which to say my last word about the Jenkins match.
 Tom Jenkins manager accuses me of "funking" out of the match because l refuse to accept the Madison Square Garden bid.
 Now, I leave 1t to you and the pub lie to decide whether 1t is I or Jen- kins who is doing the "flunking," and l am certain the verdict wdll be in my favor.
 The Madison Square Garden offer Is 50 per cent of the gross receipts-the Grand Central Palace offer Is 65 pe- cent.
 accept the latter in preference to the former, and 1t seems to me that 1t requires a curious mathematical req soning to prove that have no com piled with the articles of agreement and accepted "the best offer' in chOos- ing B5 per cent rather than 50 per cent.
 As to what Pollok styles my "child- ish and insincere proposition" to wres' tie his man for side bet, the proposi. ton still holds good, or if the American champion and his impertinent manager have not got the money. - to risk, I shall be pleased to see them at the or. pheum Theater. Brooklyn, where am appearing this week, and will wres. tie Jenkins for nothing at all other than the amusement of the spectators in catch-as-catch-can, jiu- -jitsu or any other style he likes.
 Far from my trying to "back-water'' on the catch-as-catch-can proposition, as the Polokian faction ayers, l am anxious to bring about meeting, and Jenkins should appear in a pretty bad light if he won't avail himself of either of the three opportunities which of fer:
 Wrestle anywhere for side bet,
 Wrestle on the stage of the Orpheum
 Theated. Brooklyn. for nothing save
 Honor and Glory; or,
 Wrestle according to the articles of
 agreement for the best 0ner, viz:

ONLY ONE
 LEAGUE HERE
City Amateur League Has the Grounds and Option Fitzpatrick's Father Ill., Other News.

The City Amatanr league will be the only representative league in the field this season, as some late develop ments came to light late today which will prevent the Greater Waterbury league from, playing ball. While this. is to be regretted yet the managers of the little league are undoubtedly true spOrtsmen and will take their failure to play in good grace. At ameeting of the little league last night 1t was de cided to begin their games this sea- son at twelve o'clock but the same ob- jections that were entered at the games in the morning were given in the commencement of games at twelve o'clock. To start games at twelve o'clock would mean the arrival of the teams on the grounds from eleven o'clock up to the hour of starting. It was to prevent any appearance of ball players in the morning hours in any manner that protest was made in the first place. There will be no games allowed before two o'clock and this will remove all objections.
 In order to insure the public that the games will be we'll played and that everything possible will be done to make the sport clean, the City Amateur league has secured an option on the grounds and will control all baseball played there this season. All ball playing on the field will be strictly prohibited in the morning and the lea que will be backed up by those who objected to the morning games seeing that this order is strenuously enforced. The City League is making great prep arations for the first annual dance of the league which will be given in City Hall on Friday evening, April 28. Ow- ing to the large demand for tickets for the ladies 1t has been deemed ad- visable to charge every person admis- sion, and this will include ladies and gentlemen. As 1t will be one of the best dances of the season everybody will want to be in attendance and wit ness the fun.

In PASSING Judgment upon anothers motives
shortcomings how often it has happened that this
estimate has erred in it's analysis. Sometimes the
mistake was due to biased opinion but generally it
can be credited to wlful msinterpretation In
qulsitive Socrates cruelty misudged by his pre-
Stunning contemporaries. To Plato, Cimon and a
host of other intellectual giants of that period,
Socrates was considered the fountainhead from
whence was derived the wisdom Of the ages. Even
to this day Englishmen turn livd on hearing the
name Of Oliver Cromwell, the regcide, notwthstand-
ing the fact that he instrumental in establishing
the inviolability Of parliament and uniting three
Kingdoms thus forming hegemony whose su-
premacy remains undisputed to this day.
James G.. Blaine, one Of the greatest statesmen
this country has produced, was misjudged at time
when he hoped that his aims and ambitions would
be reaized-that of becoming president Of the Unit
ed States It is easy to misudge others; for man
is infallible Still, it is possible to avoid that kind
of automatic judgment which is incorrect ninety
nine times out of hundred.
