Two, pitchers like Ed Walsh and Chrfsty Mathewson would pull a team through the season, but you can't lay your hands on two other men that could tuKn the trick like Mathewsou and Walsh. Donovan is never right In the spring. Brown was a long while coming around this year
 The game has grown faster every year. Men like Wallace and Wagner who never get hurt and take part in every game, are hard to find. The new generation of ball players, while more skillful in some ways, is not val uable to a club in other respects. The general average value of the men is about the same, and I should say the same about the game as a whole. There were some iBcomparabfe ball players twenty years ago, and there are men in the game today that are almost indis- pensable to their resepctive teams. Frank Chance the peerless leader of the Chicago Cubs knows a lot of baseball. but Is rated no higher than John~J. Me- Graw as A team manager. McGraw gave Chance the fight Of his life for the National League pennant this year McGraw learned his baseball in my pme. and he taught the New York Giants the same system of play that he and Hugh Jennings first sprung with Baltimore in the days when Cleveland and Baltimore were fighting tooth and nall for the championship of the world"

Church System Not Right.

Church System Not Right.
Rev. DR.. William II. Boocock, pastor
OF the First Reformed church of Bay
onne, N. j., created no slight sensation
when he declared from his pulpit re-
Gently that the doctrines and ecclesias-
teal system Of the church today were
unsuited to the needs of the twentieth
century; that the doctripal system of
the church was heritage from the six
teenth century; that, while 1t contained
soul Of truth, the body was unsuited
to these times. The church, he said.
was not founded upon book, and he
referred to the story OF Daniel in the
lions den, the opening Of the Red sea
before the fleeing Israelites, etc, as
6gurative and very exaggerated Ian
guage. He said. 1.-THE prophets Of the
old time sought the best means of con-
veying to the minds Of the sort of peo-
pie then living the religious spirit, but
the things that were vehicles Of those
days cannot be vehicles Of today" He
declared his intention Of asking me au.
thorities Of the church for permission
to preach the truth for the next two
years. While the older and more staid
membership of DR.. Boocock's church
are against his opinions, 1t is said that

DUMl HITS AT TERRORISM
RUSSIAN BODY, FOLLOWING
RIOTS, TAKES STRONG ACTION.
First Two Sessions Refused to Be
Committed on Desires, But Latest
Meeting Is Decided in Move.

st. Petersburg, Feb 22-The duma
Friday night adopted resolution con-
demning terrorism by big majority,
notable part of which was made up
of Constitutional Democrats, who in
the first two dumas repeatedly refused
to be committed to a condemnation.
The Constitutional Democrats formula
expressed it's disapproval of methods
of violence, whether they were en-
ployed by the government or against
the government, and the attempt of
the monarchists to commit the duma
to sweeping yilification of revolu-
ton failed of success, the reactionary
speeches calling out notable utter.
ances from the Octoberists reminding
the members that the duma itself was
revolutionary product.
Baron De Meyendorf, Octoberist and
second vice-president of the duma,
said revolution was a historical
process for leading the autocracy to
a constitution. The revolutionists, he
declared, used criminal means to
reach worthy ends, but that this was
paralleled by the governments de-
tense of authority by irregular meth
DDS, which transcribed the law. The
dumas principal task now, he said,
was to teach the government, from
the highest to the lowest members of
1t, proper respect for the lazy.
M. Poksovsky, Constitutional Demo
crat, protested that the Russian revo.
luton had not been carried out by
thieves and cut threats, but by the
united people of the city, great masses
of the peasantry and majority Of the
educated classes. If the policemen
and gendarmes had suffered, the Rus
sian people had suffered hundredfold
greater from strikes, punitive expe-
ditions and administrative terror, all
for the lofty purpose of bringing on a
reign of law by representative gov
eminent.
