BASEBALL NOTES.

Johnstown has sold third baseman
Sundheim to Jersey City.
The Newark Club has purchased
catcher Joe Crisp from the Kansas
City Club.
George Merritt, the Jersey City
twirler, has played every position on
the diamond.
The Baltimore Club has turned
pitcher Maroney over to big Bill
Clarke's Albany Club.
Providence has purchased "Lons
John" Anderson from the Chicago
American League Club.
Abstein, who seems to be filling the
bill at first for the Pirates. is the
sixth first sacker that team has had
in as many years.
Catcher Marshall is making the cir
cult. He started with the Phillies,
went TO New York, then to Chicago,
and Is now with Brooklyn.
The New York Club has turned In
fielder George Simmons, the hard hit.
ting Brooklyn boy, over to the Roch'
ester Club, of the Eastern League.
Pitcher Mattern, of Boston. is s
southpaw with spit ball. Rarely de
left-handers adopt the wet delivery
for they are generally wild enough
without II.
Pitcher McGinnity says the great
strain of Christy Mathewson's arm
last year will tell this season, and the
great pitcher will have to be worked
very carefully.
One put-out is unusual for a first
baseman in a nine-inning game. Thi:
is the record of first baseman Rohn
OF Atlanta. in a game against Bir.
mingham the other day.
Manager AL Orth has demonstrated
his ability to play the outtield by put
ting up a strong game in the right
garden. He also bids fair to lead the

For Summer Evangelism.

The plans for the summer evangel-
ism contemplated for Boston this
summer were Interestingly referred
TO at the regular public meeting OF
the evangelical alliance of greater
Boston, In the Park street church last
week, Rev. Charles H. Moss, presid-
ing. Rev. Mr.. Moss announced that
more than $4,000 had been turned over
TO the alliance, after all expenses had
been paid, by the Chapman-Alexander
moyement, and that part or this
amount will be used as a nucleus for
another campaign, part for special re-
ligious work and part for summer
evangelism. Large tents, he said,
would be erected In different sections,
including Revere, City Point and six
other centers. Pres. Moss introduced
John II. Converse of Philadelphia, as
1.-The man behind the Chapman-Alexan-
der evangelistic movement" and dur
ing his address said that 10000 were
impressed with the recent evangelis-
tic campaign. in Boston. Mr.. Converse
made an earnest plea for the contem-
plated work.

inside the cofferdam began to recede.

MAY Have New Theatre.

There is a strong probability that
Boston is to have a new theatre run
upon lines new to Boston, so far as
theatrical ventures go. If the plans
carry it will mean a theatre devoted to
the presentation of musical plays,
comedies and burlesques, the book,
music and lyrics to be by local authors
and composers, and the cast and Choir
uses to be of Boston men and women
in fact musical plays written,
staged and acted by home talent. That
is the idea which has made famous
the La Sale and the Princess theatres
of Chicago, where such local plays
presented by home talent have been a
feature for several years.

situation, committee appointed for
the purpose, reported the following
resolution:
Resolved, That the board of gov

affirms the principle of adequate pro-
lection to American industries. We do
not believe mat the tariff, when COM
pleted, will encourage eXorbitant pro-
fits, watered capital. monopoly, or COM
binations in restraint of competition.

gress shall have finished It's work it
will have enacted a tariff under which
general prosperity will be continued"

Isaac II. Edgett and Herbert II. Boyn-
ton, first and second deputies In the
office of the secretary of the common
wealth, was returned last week to the
legislature by Gov. Draper without his
signature. The present salaries OF
these officials are $2500. The govern
Or explains that he does not consider
an increase necessary. A public serv-
ant, he adds, is entitled to half pay
should he be incapacitated, and such
officials should be satisfied with a
much less salary when at work than
should a person who, when the time
for retirement comes, receives no pay
whatever.

that the actual work OF reconstruction
