For and Against EsperantO,

Max NOrdau in an article against
Esperanto admits "the absolute neces-
sity of an international language" but
gives the opinion that 'this can new
er be Esperanto" He says: "It would
be impossible for an artificial language
to retain unity of character-in other
words, 1t would invariably lapse into
dialect. producing eventually as many
Esperantos as the nations adopting
it" In answer to this argument a
writer In the Buenos Ayres Herald
says: Latin was the recognized me
dium Of exposition by the learned of
all the nations of Europe up to the
end of the seventeenth century We
have yet to learn that each country
created its own Latin dialect French
is the language Of a large part of Bel
GUM, Switzerland, Canada, etc. and
yet it remains practically French all
the time. Latin was preserved as
Latin because there were always ac-
cessible sources of reference and rec
tifieation. The same may be said Of
French, and the same may also be
said of Esperanto

JOE CONNOR FOUGHT.

New Haven, Sept 1O-After droll ing through II innings of see-saw base ball here yesterday, in which every thusiasm and spirit among the New Haven players to the pugilistic move ments of Jimmy Burns, Joe Conuor, Pop Rising and Umpire Kelly, was exhibited to the 40 or 90 spectators, darkness put an end to 3 to s game between the Ponies and the Brown ies. The scrap was the climax of discussion between young Burns and Shamokin Kelly over a decision which gave Hayward safe on a steal to sec on in the. fifth. Kelly was obliged to resort to his old habits in the art of pugilism.
 But he did not start the fistic bat tie in which several of the Springfield players were represented and on ac- count of which, Dan a0'Neil. was. pblig- ed to call from the field Burns. Con nor and Rising and substitute the bench men, Curtiss, Luby and Hess, Manager O'Neil afterwards remarked, 'I was lucky to have the men,

Hi Ladd continued his tremen- dous hitting last week, although not quite up to his work of the previous week. He put on II hits and raised his total to 161, with a percentage of $40, and he is now far ahead of all competitors. Rising had another bad week and will never catch Ladd in the number of hits made, as his total is only 142. Indeed he has dropped to third place, as Jimmy O'Rourke did some tall batting last week. raising his total to 145. There are ten men in the 300 class who are still in the league and they will probably finish at or above the mark, with the possible exception of Standard, who has been steadily tumbling for sometime.

 field and New Haven.

HGIu anu INCN AhahNhs
 The series between Springfield and Waterbury ended fin tie so far as games are concerned with nine won and lost by both teams, but 1t is of interest to note that Springfield ex- celled in every department of the game except in pitchers control Springfield made many more runs, was far ahead in batting and field ing and only about two-thirds as many famed as the Waterburys, but when it came to issuing passes the Springfield pitchers took the biscuit with 7l to 47 and it looks as though that influenced the outcome of the series over all the other elegant work. Ordinarily the difference in figures in favor of Springfield would give a record of say 12 games won out of the series of IS. But things have not gone right with that Spring field bunch. It was never able to turn into winning that power whicE seemed one would naturally expect. Here are the figures:
