SUCCESSOR TO ST. PATRICK.
Pontifical Mass Celebrated by Cath
olics in New York.

New York, April 2S.-Cardinal
Logue, primate of all Ireland and
successor of ST. Patrick in the See of
Armagh, celebrated pontifical mass
in the cathedral today, as one of the
features of the Catholic centennial.
The Irish cardinal is well advanced
in years and has never before visited
this country. AS the direct successor
of st. Patrick, he is one of the best
loved churchmen in the world. Car
dinal Gibbons preached the sermon
at today's meeting. This evening
there will be pontifical vespers in the
cathedral, Mgr Fanconio being the
celebrant and Archbishop Glennon
of st. Louis the preacher. The pro-

TEAM KILLED BY ECONOMY

The fans have been wondering
what's the matter with the team.
Here is the straight of 1t and If
you don't believe it just put it up
to either Manager Eddie Quinn or
Pres. Charles Wolf Neither of
them know anything about playing
practical baseball in the first place,
yet each is trying to run the team
for Capt. Billy Hulen.
The boys are all dissatisfied and
don't know where they're "at."
When ball player is dissatisfied
he may be willing enough to play
good ball, but 1t is like any other
walk of life, if fellows spirit is
troubled he will fall down on his
accustomed good work.
The climax has about been
reached by the release of
Chandler, as fast a third baseman
as was in the league. Chambers
arm gave out and he had some
trouble getting it back into shape.
The team management was too
cheap to hold him for couple OF
weeks, so he was cast adrift after
having been of material assistance
in getting the team at the top of
the heap.
Johnny Mackin, the magnificent
little shortstop, has overstrained
his throwing arm-trying to get
the team at the top and keep 1t
there. Now he's out Of the game
and the management is consider
ing releasing him II he remains
idle long. It's another case of be-
ing cheap.

promising" youngsters. The prom
ises haven't made good in an In
stance except Holm, and they
didn't send for him. Roberts looks
good now and then, but he ISM
played. The best there is in the
experiments are flashes.
All the other teams have
strengthened themselves for the
final battle. Spokane only has
been weakened at the finish. Those
WIKI understood the trouble looked
for Rogers release when he split
his hand. 1t is believed that il
he bad not returned to play as
soon as he had he would have been
turned adrift.
The fans are entitled to at least
a Fight for the purple rag. But
under present conditions the boys
don't perform like they'd be worth
betting on. The hole left by
Chandler has been filled by a
busher from the mining country
who hasn't shown any degree OF
form.
Johnny Killilay got cracked on
the hand by a batted ball yester-
day and II he cannot get into shape
for the road 1t is understood he is
to be released
That there are too many bosses

tion among the players. At one
time we had five catchers and nine
pitchers. Every cheap man who
was heard OF. II he was cheap

some.
Why didn't they keep Dave Ro-
wan when they had a chance for
him TO finish the season here? Too
high priced.
