SENATOR MARTIN HAS HOPES FOR THE PARTY

party is in more or less confusion and discord. In so far as the argument and logic of the campaign is concerned the democrats have, in my opinion, distinctly obtained the advantage. Aside from the argument and logic of the situation. the spectacular performances of the Pres ident and his assumption of the position of campaign manager and political organizer. is so unprecedented and so incompatible with the dignity of the presidential office is beyond doubt strengthening our lines and weakening those of the republican party

 SlO0 Each.

Cincinnati, April 21.--The nation al baseball commission yesterday re- instated players Garland Stahl and M. J, Donlin, but fined each $100 for having participated in certain games with clubs or against clubs harboring ineligible players in Chicago last sea- son. Because of the questions raised the commission gives warning that in the future no national agreement player will at any time be permitted to play with or against any club bar boring any ineligible player.
 The commission announces that there is no objection on the part of the commission to players partici- pating in exhibition games <either be- fore or after the close of the season in the respective leagues to which the clubs belong that have title to them, but in no instance can they participate in games with clubs har- boring ineligible players.
 William McCabe, purch ased by :hG Boston Nationals, but returned by them to Steubenvile, which club then transferred him to Trenton, was de- clared to be free agent, none Of the clubs having proper title to him at the time of such transfer. He may play with Trenton, however, if he SC wishes.

Frankie Madden of South Brooklyn defeated Harry Lenney of Philadel. phia in the main bout at the Dry Dock Athletic club. New York, last night. Madden was too strong foi his Philadelphia opponent. In the second round Madden landed q right swing on Lenney's jaw and the latter fell to the floor with thud.
 When Lenney got up Madden pounded him with left and right swings. but was unable to knock him out. In the third round Madden stag. gered Lenney with left and right hand swings on the jaw and had him hanging on the ropes when the bell sounded.
 The fourth and fifth rounds were even. Lenney. jabbing his right 10 face. while Madden forced the fight ing. swinging his right and left wild Wy. In the last round Madden again staggered Lenney with a right to the jaw. followed it up with left tu face. but could not nut Lenney out because of the Iatter's clever foot work.
 In the other bouts Danny Good. man beat Tommy Penny in three rounds. Harry Stone had a shade the better Of Willie Green. and Padds Nee stopped an unknown in three rounds.

Ii was like taking candy from a kid to 20 up to Stratf0rd Springs yesterday and take down that guar antee. My but there are lot of easy ones floating around.
 Hummell is doing finished work in left field for the Brooklyns. Patsy Donovan said when he returned from the south that Hummell would be the best outfelder in the league.
 There wasn't a manager in the Ma tional league who wasn't pleased at Hans Wagner's return to Pittshurg or who became any less hopeful for his own team on that account.
 From the accounts of the Lobert row in Cincinnati and the language directed at that player by the occu- pants of a 'so-called "rooters' row. it is wonder that the Cincinnati team ever can win home game with such "rooters" on hand.
 Johnny Eyers is quoted as declaring that he will take year of rest after this season. He thinks he isn't ro- bust enough to stand the strain; yet he points out that he now weighs 137 pounds stripped, and weighed only 115 when he joined the Cubs in 1902.
 The kind of home runs that the cranks like to see most are not those which sail over convenient fence but the sort that keep in the field. roll and roll. and offer some sort of chance for the fielder to get the ball in and head off the runner. The wall lops that clear the ramparts are all one sided.
 fat plums for the Brooklyn club. The Brooklyns opened at home, had the equivalent of an opening with the New Works last Saturday and are the visiting team when the New Works open at the Polo grounds next "Wednesday. These three games will attract fully 50,0O0 persons.
 ''We were up against a pitcher the other day" says Joe Kelly. "who &C., eorling to the rooters was using a knuckle' ball. I noticed that when ever one Of our men struck and missed the fans called it a 'knuckle' ball. but if the hat connected with the same sort of ball the comment was. oh. he didn't pitch the knuckle ball that time.
 Where Is the consistency of a rul- ing that in the event Of an attempt to make a double steal the man going to second shall not be credited with a steal if the other runner is put out at third. whereas if the latter Is not put out the man going 10 second shall get a steal? If the ball is thrown 10 third base there is no chance of get ting the man at second anyway, and whether or not the man at third iE uut out has no bearing on the other runner getting to second. Either the man going to second should be cred ited with steal no matter what hap pens to the other runner or no such thing as double steal should be rec ognized.

JOHNSON CHASING HIM UP.

After much unsuccessful picker ing Jack Johnson, the colored heavyweight, and his manager, Sam Fitzpatrick will sail for England to-day on the steamship Crown Prince, to force Tommy Burns into match for the championship of the world. Burns's manager came here a week ago with $5,000 to go as a side bet, providing Burns received a guarantee of s30,000 of the purse. As such terms were considered un- fair by both Jsnson and Fitzpat- rick they have decided to cross the ocean and make Burns either fight or crawl.
 We are going to get a fight with Burns or make him quis the ring, said Fitzpatrick last night. we will agree to most any terms. Burns can have two-thirds of the purse if he so demands, but a real champion is always ready to agree to 75 per cent to the winner and 25 per cent to the loser, or winner take all. Whoever heard of John l.. Sullivan, Jeffries, Corbett or Fitzsimmons de- manding eleven-tenths of the purse win, lose or draw? Burns will have to fight Johnson in England or ad- nit that he is afraid of him. ''

 'fhe bout was scheduled to go 12 rounds, but it was seen in the first round that Melody stood no chance of standing up any length of time against the Philadelphian.
 Lewis floored Melody in the first round and he took the count of nine. In the second Lewis, following up the advantage, fought Melody 10 the ropes time and time again. Mel lody was game but utterly unable to stop the Quaker City, boxer.
 In the third round Melody was twice sent to the mat, but managed by stalling, clinching and sprin ing to escape. for the time being, a knockout. He went to his corner at the end of the round reeling and clearly all in He was advised to quit, but refused, and the bell found HilH Slill SEOSBy, put Hc oleppeu III for the final struggle.
