Baseball Comment
Harold Harvey.
BY

More 1906 gold bricks than BAN players
have been bought by major league clubs
Waddell should be reformed or rail-
roaded. He can no longer be considered an
asset Of the Athletics.
The National Commission should defer
the election of a chairman un,l after the
National League chooses its president for
1907.
They are busy in the Tri-state League
towns raising funds to keep the teams
going to the end.
Out Of % games played on Saturday
August rs, in the Eastern rri-State. New
York State and South.rn Leagues. 10 OF
them were shut-outs.
More money will be made in baseball
this year than in any previous season In
the same's history. The earnings Of SOW
eral major league clubs will exceed $780,
900.
McGraw's threat to sue President Pull
Ham is mere buncombe. Overwhelming
proof that he has repeatedly violated the
rules of baseball and thereby brought the
/ game and profession into disreputo would
be produced in justification OF the disci-
pline that has been meted out to him.
According 10 President Carpenters fig
uros the attendance at the games in the
! rri-siate League up 10 August /, for the
different towns. averaged as follows: Lam
caster. 1917 for i2 games; Johnstown. 81
games. l,eo9; Altoona. 90 games. 1.4n;
Harrisburg, 40 games, i4o5; wilamsport.
40 games, l,s29; York 81 games. S2i The
figures look good but the question Is are
they real.

Questions for Mr.. Chancellor.

To the Editor Of The Star:
/. When Mr.. Stuart rendered his resigna-
ton as superintendent of the public schools
of the District of Columbia was he the oc-
cupant of that office?
2. When the new school board accepted
the resignation of Mr.. Stuart as superin-
tendent of the public schools of the District
OF Columbia did the new board in SO doing
tacitly acknowledge the fact that the status
of this official was not CHI inged by the new
school law?
g. II all the teachers. principals, supervfs-
Ing principals, assistant superintendent
and the superintendent, as well as the old
school board, passed out of office with the
expiration of the old school law, did the
new school board join with Mr.. Stuart in
vacating an Office which had already been
vacated by the new law?
f. If. in accepting Mr.. Stuarts resignation
as superintendent of public schools Of the
District OF Columbia. the new school board
engaged In creating a vacancy where none
existed, has the new board reversed itself in
afterwards insisting that the new law va
Gated all positions which were held by Off
Gals and employees of the public school sys-
tenn of the District of Columbia on June 80,
1896?
8. II certain teachers and officials, who
were connected with the public schools of
the District of Columbia June 80 1906, lost
their places by recent congressional legisla-
ton. and the new board did not see fit to
appoint them to any place whatever under
the new law, how can such persons be
''dropped?' Can a man be dropped from
an office in August which the law deprived
him of In July?
G. II the new school law did not deprive
any employe OF official of his position, ex-
cept where that fact Is plainly stated in the
law. is II the privilege of the new school
board TO do so, without due process of law?
