BASEBALL NOTES.

Waterbury fans and others through the Connecticut league circuit will have sympathy for Heine Batch, when they learn that his father is dead in Brooklyn. Heine has left the Brooklyn team for the present to attend the funeral. He was hit ting the ball in fine shape when he was called away and Brooklyn en- thusiasts are pulling for him.
 Manager Donovan of Brooklyn says of John Hummel that Holyoke star, that he is going to be one of the finds of the year. Hummers graceful, easy way of going after difficult ground balls is taking Dono- vans fancy and the manager says the lad will be a tower of strength to the Brooklyn infield.
 It is said that "Muggsy" McGraw was the man who got Patsy Donovan his job in Brooklyn. Both men are very intimate friends. and McGraw can be depended upon to help Dono- van any way possible.
 Sheckard is doing fines work for the Cubs now that he has got through with the Brooklyn team. He says he is in as good condition now as ever he was. and expects to play as good a game as ever this year.
 Tim Jordan is highly regarded by all the Brooklyn players as one of the best young first basemen that has broken into the major league ranks. and his batting in practice has been we'll nigh perfect
 Pitcher Duggleby of the Phillies ran against a snag recently, and this time he got his right hand dented il somewhat. He was playing with a cat in the hotel and the gentle feline bit his hand rather badly.
 Duffy has veeted out three Of his players. Johnson got a berth with the Troy team of the New York State league. Hof has been turned back to Manager Hoffman of Savannah, while McCurdy. the Mt Carmel pitch CT, was sent back to his home
 Graham. the ouifelder. signed by McGraw, says he will not go to Mem phis. to which club MeGraw sold him. The clever little manager says he must. or 20 back to the outlaw or semi-professionaL The life of the bail tosser Is similar to that Of the slave.
 Bill CoughIin of Detroit Is having aI1 kinds of bad luck. He hurt his knee in practice, and then heard of the death of his father at Scranton. Pa
 Probably ia but one part of the country is there a base ball diamond from which ft is possible to bat ball into any one of three states Such d condition actually exists st the grounds which have been leased by he KIondfke club of East Liverpool. O. says the Washington Evening Star. The diamond is laid out on a Iot which is kn0un as the state cor uer. If the bstsman makes a hit over third base. the bal will be sent into West Virginia Should foal tip result the catcher would have to chase the ball into Pennsylvsniz- If a straight drive or bu1t is Esde, the ball vfII bowl into the state Of Ohio.

sIvouAc WON IN DRIVE.
Favorife, Hocus Poems, Beaten Tn Feature Event at Bennings.

WASHINGTON, March 31-A card that promised excellent sport attracted a large crowd fo the races at Bennings despite the indictment weather. Three heavily played favorites and three out siders won. and all of the latter had plenty of supporters.
 Tie best race of the day was the third. Hocus Focus was made the fla vorite partly on account of her fine race on Tuesday and partly on account of her jockey. Miller. Tickle was a strong second favorite. Bivouac. never Letter than s 10 1. made all the run ming and in a drive won the race from Tickle in I:15 for the six furlongs. IL was a rather startling reversal of form. as Bivouac was beaten by Tickle on Tuesday in the same kind of going in 1.I9 for the same distance. Hocus Focus was not s factor. and Miller was hissed for his ride when he rode back to the stand.
 Chieftain won the first in a hard drive from Brush Up. Blue Coat show cd in front first. led to the big turn and was beaten at the turn into the stretch. Chieftain and Brush Up fought 1t out 10 the finish. but the former lasted the longest.

LUNDIN IS READY.

Hjalmar Lundin has left Worces- ter for Hartford to train for his wrestling match with Atlas in Brook lyn. Before leaving he said that he would meet Fred Beell in contest, but says he will not put up side bet on the result. It is expected that a match between this pair would draw the biggest crowd ever out to see a match in Worcester.

Much qualification is felt among the
officers Of the paw corps OF the navy
over the remarkable record made by
the class Of young assistant paymas-
ters which was graduated from the
Naval Pay School in this city on Sep
tember Is. This class. which was com
posed of seventeen members, made a
general average Of SO, and Assistant
Paymaster Wuterdink, who led the
class. was graduated with an average
OF $3.50 per cent. the highest mark ever
made at the school.
This Will probably be the last class
at the Naval Pay School, as all the
vacancies In the grade of assistant pay
master in the navy have been filled
and there are three young men on an
eligible list. who VIII receive appoint
ments as vacancies occur through re-
urements or deaths, II is the intention

Socialism That Failed.

An experiment in cooperation
which ought 10 have special interest
in these days of socialism has just
come to an end in New England. It
was what was known as the ''Sov-
ereigns Of Industry" movement, At
one time hundreds of thousands
bought their supplies through
stores operated under this name,
and one which has just closed its
doors was the survivor of more than
300 associates.
The principle Of the enterprise
was sound enough. apparently. In
what has been called the period of
imitation and high prices, thrifty
Yankees considered the possibility
of buying in the quantity and sell
ing 10 themselves, thereby diverting
the profits of the retailer TO their
/ own pockets. It worked well in
/ theory and for a time it worked well
in practice. AS far as the common
needs of the promoters were con-
| cerned, the scheme was admirable.
1t was the uncommon demands
which wrecked it. With prosperity
came calls for finer goods. The
enterprising individual dealer was
quick TO note and meet them. The
cOmmunistic store could not. So
even the stockholders were forced TO
turn to the outsider, and once ac-
customed to go elsewhere for the
more expensive wares, the "Soy-
ereigns" were not long in ftiscarding
the cooperative store altogether
At any rate the last of the 300
Sovereign stores is now defunct. It's
stock was at one time so valuable
that S25 shares sold for S125. But It
could not survive the competition of
stores maintained by the practical
unartifcial laws of supply and de
mand, and when an absconding clerk
brought it's affairs to a crisis there
was not left stamina enough to keep
il alive.
Those who would legislate all our
problems out Of existence. who look
on colonies and cooperation, volun-
tary and otherwise, as the cure for
all our economic ills, will do well to
| consider the fate of this SOvereigns
| of Industry movement. It lacked
for nothing requisite to make it sue
ceed-for patronage, good admins
tration, or sound business principle.
Yet it failed in the contest with
stores called into being by tndi-
vidual enterprise and maintained by
nothing more than patronage
sought for and found in the open
/ market.
