Thomas s. Rice, Sporting Editor Times
Dear Mr.. Rice; Allow me to congratu-
late you On the impartial and unpreju-
diced stand you have taken on the base
ball situation in Washington. / am glad
we have one paper in the city fair
enough 10 voice the sentiments of the
fans II has become truly sIckening
how some of the local papers support
and make excuses for Manager Can
tillon. no matter what results show.
Is 1t not true that at the beginning
Of the season many OF the out-Of-town
critics for the first time in years inquired
the Washington team strong enough 10
be in the first, or at least, lead the sec
Ond division? We had the material. &C
cording TO experienced baseball critics.
When you have material 10 work with
and don't get results, who Is TO blame?
Possibly some will answer hCodoo, hard
luck, or accidents. Cleveland has been
noted for its numerous accidents and
reverses Of baseball luck Tor the last
few years, yet has always finished in
the first division.
One writer says for the thousandtE
time that a winning team can not be
gotten together In a year. If he means
we here in Washington would consider
a team in fourth or NTH place a winner.
and, besides, Cantillon has had complete
charge Of the local club for three years.
Boston was IN sixth place last year,
and is third this yeaP, while New York
was eighth last year, and is fifth now.
Cincinnati was In the Tut last year, and
is IN fourth place this year. Also note
the wonderful Improvement in the ST.
Louis Nationals. Some people may say
that Bresnahan's playing ability more
than his ability as a manager has added
strength to the team. but I think I am
safe in saying both have figured II the
success. Also. how about Cincinnati?
Griffith doesn't play.
I trust this won't impress YOU as be-
ing from crank who wants to in
trude himself upon the public, and tell
how 10 run the Washington baseball
club. I think ] am only vcicing the
sentiments of the majority of the fans
IN Washington in thanking you for eX-
pressing our feelings so correctly.
Yours truly, J. H. 3.

SENTIMENT OF FANS

Some Plain Truths

Nevertheless and Notwithstanding,
Manager Cantillon's calling and election

baseball team next year is not sure
He may honestly think 1t is. and it is
doubtless a cruel surprise for him to
find that II isn't. but facts are facts
The directors Of the Washington club
meet formally four times year At
their early spring meeting the outlook
was so roseate that there wGs no
thought of another manager and the oil
rectors practically took it for granted
that CantiIlon would be here in 1910. At
their next meeting the team was in such
a state that the directors were COM
pletely up a stump about what TO do
and simply allowed matters t. drift,
awaiting developments.
They say themselves that Cantillons
name in connection with a new contract
was not mentioned. They are not due
for another meeting nov for a couple Of
months. In the meantime, they assert
that they have not gotten together in
formally and discussed the future of the
management. They are 50 completely
bewildered and mystified by the con
slant reverses that not one of them has
the slightest idea what is the matter.

discuss the situation from the fan
standpoint. They admit their bitter dis
appointment and are anxious for tips or
explanations. even as you and I.
Fans Worn Out.
That Cantillon has been a financial
success here is absolutely true, but that
he will continue to be such a money
maker If the team does not improve
does not follow. washington is the best
losing baseball town on earth, but il is
pretty nearly worn out by the present
team. This is not the result Of news
paper, roasting. for Of all The kind-faced
baseball writer's in the United States
those in Washington have been the
limit. The WEAKNESS of the fans is due
to the utter failure of the squad to
show class except in spots. The fans
have been patient and long suffering.
The have not been tickle. Their love
has not been that of the people of Old
derided by the prophet, as a morning
cloud and as the dew that vanisheth

like Xanthippe when II came to "endur-
ing all things" but they are nearly

Much OF the resentment against the
manager because of the falling down
of a team which has Clymer. Brown.
Delehanty, and COnroy on the injured
list at one time Is unfair, and even
when the players have oeen fit, II has
had more hard playing luck than any
the writer ever saw or expects to see.
But the bald fact remains that the fans
of this city have become sOre-With or

next TO restore their good humor.
