7he Side Of The BusebaH Player

that he really means it when he threatens to quit the game, the manager will come around, and will effect compromise and in 99 cases out of 100 the player Is no loser in the dead.
 To one who does not stop to look into it, the amounts paid to professional ball players seem nothing less than wonder full. The fact that man, perhaps with. out any education, is able to demand as much as $4000 or S500O for five or six months work sounds like a fairy tale. The average person imagines that if he could realize half that sum by working every day in the year he would be su- premely content But the student of base ball does not consider the matter in this light He knows that ball players do not grow on every bush but are almost as scarce as the proverbial hens teeth. The people must have baseball. It has become as necessary to the average American as eating or drinking He will pay his money out willingly to watch ball game, but he must have the real article given him. If the man who can satisfy his wants demands that he be paid well for his work, surely his de- mands should be listened to- A man who goes to buy a diamond does\ not come home without one because the prices demanded seem exorbitant. He wants rare stone and he gets it, cost what it will It is the same way with a baseball magnate. He goes out after a star, and he will not be satisfied until he has landed him. But then he tries to get the public to consider him wroriSed if that star tries to better his lot The manager knows what a strong effect the opinion of the public has on a ball player, and he tries to work on this fact to keep that player in his ranks. And as a general rule the public fall for the managers bluff just as he imagined they would, and the knocks From what I know of them, ball players are honest and upright, and would not stoop to dishonest means. But they know, as the public do not, just what their value Is, and they are not to be blamed for trying to get what is coming to them.

 What do you think of that Mobile ag gregation, anyway?

 Ellam gets better and better every day. Soon there will be no man in the league better than he.
 There would certainly be rejoicing were Bill Raftis to step in town again. So far nothing has come from him.
 The association Is determined that Bill Raftis will either play in Birmingham or nowhere.
 After the present series is concluded the eastern clubs invade the west. Bir- mingham opens in Little Rock, and 1t Is believed Molesworths men will be able to hold their own.

EXPLOSION BLEW
Up NEW YORK
SEWERS
Over Nearly a Square Mile of
Territory
GASOLINE WAS THE CAUSE
Drainage From Many Garages Had
Filled Sewers With Danger
GUS Classes

New York, Oct. NEARLY a square
mile of the middle west side was sha-
ken late this afternoon by a series of
sewer explosions which blew manhole
covers high in the air injured several
persons did considerable damage to
property and caused moment of
sharp panic.
Seven year old Emil Miller was
standing on a manhole cover when
the first rumble came. He and the
cover shot up ten feet and Emil came
down about foot from the manhole
out of which flames were pouring. He
was badly burned about the face and
body and taken unconscious to a hos
pital where 1t was said that his con-
dition was serious.
Large windows of many stores were
shattered and half a dozen persons
We're seriously cut by flying glass
while hundreds had narrow escapes.
The total damage will probably
amount TO about $4,000.
The police explain the explosion
by the accidental igniting of sewer
gas mixed with gasoline vapor from
the waste discharges of the many
garages in the neighborhood.

was of the same high order presented

In selecting William Webb for the

most fortunate. Mr.. Webb was cast
as the butler, Bates. which original

James Hartman as John Glenarm,

TROY DEMOCRATS NOMINATE
William T. shyne Named for Mayor
in City Convention

Troy, Oct. 1.-THE Democratic city
convention was held last evening at
Germania hall. This was the ticket
that was nominated: For Mayor. VIII
liam T. Shyne of the Second ward
for Comptroller, John f. Murray of
the Fourteenth ward for City Treas
urer, DR. NJ. d. Dickinson of the Sec
ond ward for Police Justice, Edward
L. Nugent of the Ninth ward; for
President of the Common Council,
Gurdon h. Reichard of the Fifteenth
ward; for Assessors, Philip II. Pur-
cell of the Twelfth ward and Anthony
Fitzgerald of the Sixth ward; for judi
ges of the City court, John j. Mack
rell of the Sixteenth ward and james
V. Coffey of the Fifth ward.
The slate makers had been busy all
yesterday making and breaking the
slate to be presented to the conven-
ton, and it was not ready for action
until forty-fve minutes after the adj
vertised hour. 8 o'clock, for calling
the convention to order. Even then
it was broken, and in an amusing way.
1t had been originally intended so it
was given out before the convention
convened to nominate Mr.. Reichard
for city treasurer and DR.. Dickinson
for president of the common council.
Up to the time that the nominations
for the Office of city treasurer were
called for everything had been NOV
ing smoothly but then came hitch.
When George O'Neil who presided,
called for the nominations for city
treasurer there was an embarrassing
silence. John p. Kelly, the secretary
of the general committee, was sitting
next to Edward j. Fitzgerald at the
time. He nudged Mr.. Fitzgerald and
told him to nominate DR.. Dickinson,
which Mr.. Fitzgerald did The NOM
nation wen through, so that there
was nothing left for the convention
to do but to nominate Mr.. Reichard
for president of the common council.

HE ROASTS
TAMMANY AND
MAY RUN
Is Officially Notified of His
Nomination
WILL MAKE ANSWER TODAY
Calls Tammany Ticket an Atrocious
Array of Dirty and Damaged
Political Rags

New York, Oct. S:-William Ran
dolph Hearst was formally notified at
his home at Eighty-Sixth street and
Riverside Drive yesterday afternoon
of his selection for Mayor by the
mass-meeting held in Cooper Union
on Wednesday night. In reply he did
not commit himself as to whether or
not he would enter the Mayoralty
fight, asking for few hours in which
to prepare formal reply.
Mr.. Hearst's reply will probably be
sent to the committee today, and, it
is understood, will be definite and
final. There was an impression last
night among the leaders of the indie
pendence League and friends of Mr..
Hearst that he would consent to head
the third ticket.
In his address yesterday afternoon
Mr.. Hearst referred to Justice Gaynor
in complimentary way, but charac-
teriZed the rest of the Tammany tic
ket as the most atrocious array of
dirty and damaged political rags and
remnants ever exposed for sale on the
bargain counter of Tammany Hail."
He declared that it was the duty of
every good citizen to do everything
in his power to prevent the election
Fof these men and said that the sug-
gestion that the best way in which to
accomplish this would be for him to
run for Mayor would have his most
serious consideration
Mr.. Hearst's Address.

consideration to the suggestions /
made to you and to all my friends
! through the press" said he. Il should
in propriety and courtesy, and | shall,
give due consideration to the recon-
mendation you make in return.
Il must say, however, that to my
mind the main objection, and perhaps
the only objection, TO Judge Gaynor
is the fact that in this campaign he is
allied with the most atrocious array
of soiled and damaged political rags
and remnants that have ever been
exposed for sale upon the bargain
counters of Tammany Hall.
Il think it is your duty to defeat
that Tammany ticket. | think it your
duty and my duty and the duty of
every honest citizen TO prevent the in
Fiction of such calamity upon this
city. | have had several suggestions
made to me to that end. If you will
allow me few hours time | will
give your recommendation my best
thought, my most careful considera-
ton, and | will send you a formal
reply tomorrow.
in any event, l wish to thank my
friends most deeply for their conf
dence, and to express my heartfelt
| appreciation of the great honor they
have extended to me for the second
time"

Burlington, Oct. S.-A large proper
ton of the Christian people OF Yer
mont are interested in the meeting OF
the American Missionary association.
which is to take place in this city on
October 10 to q next. The associa-
ton represents Congregatonalists in
their efforts to help alien races resi-
dent in the United States or its de-
pendoncies, and many Vermont CIV
er. and supporters are engaged in
that work through its agenoy
In common with most missionary
societies this autumn, the association
profits by improved business times
and larger missionary interest, for
times have improved, and, in spite of
croakers, there is larger interest in
the churches in all forms of beneyo-
tent effort Owing to the unpreced-
ented success of the debt-raising cam
paign of Congregationalists last win
ter the association, as we'll as all OF
the benevolences of the denomination
is free of debt, and 1t has closed its
fiscal year with comfortable bal
ance.
Speakers at the forthcoming meet
ing will include some of the foremost
Christian leaders, including the Rev.
DR.. s. II. Woowrow of Washington,
who breaches the opening sermon,
the Rev. DR.. c. II. Patten of the Am
erican Board, the Rev. Dr. G. Glen At
kins of Michigan, the Rev DR.. NJ. II.
Buckham. the well known educator,
the Rev. DR.. Frank J. Goodwin of
Rhode Island, and the Rev. DR.. Phil
in NJ Moxom of Springfield. Very
notable among the speakers will be
Prof Kelly Miller of Howard Uniyer-
sity. Prof. Miller is among the fore
most educators and scholars of the
negro race in this country. ne holds
the degree of Doctor of Philosophy
from John Hopkins. His topic will
be The Heart of the Problem" mean
ing of course the problem of the ne
gro race in America.
The American Missionary associa-
ton came into being a few years be-
fore the Civil war, when turmoil OF
public discussion, even of public feel
ing, ran high. The negro race was
in what appeared to be hopeless sla-
very, the Indians were being pillaged
right and left, the Esquimaux were
neglected, Spain had her grip in Cuba
and Porto Rico, the southern noun
taineers, hating the negro but unable
either toAhelp him or themselves-all
these dark conditions Congregation
alists entered upon with a brave at
tempt to improve.
Their success in mending matters
is wonderful. The association does
not however, make much of its his
tory. 1t has more prophets than his
torians and the plans of its prophets
of good are far reaching. With more
than fourteen thousand pupils in It's
schools in the south alone, with work
that is just as promising in hot Porto
Rico as it is in Alaskan polar regions
the association bring to Burlington
not only a record of success but APP
peals for further cooperation that are
worthy of its name. From living Civ
ers about $250,000 a year now comes
to it, Congregationalists from Yer
mont and from other states are ex-
pected here to attend the forthcom-
ing meeting.

FEWER STUDENTS AT YALE
Advanced Requirements Cause FALL
ing In Registration

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 7.-Prelim-
mary registration figures at Yale Uni
versity indicate that the total enroll
ment for the year will probably be
less than for several years past. The
decrease is due to advanced require
ments for admission to the medical
and law schools and strictness in
the examinations throughout the uni
versity. The forest school has an en-
rollment of so. ten more than last
year; in the divinity school there are
70 undergraduates, an increase OF
eight; there are 122 men in the med
ical school, sixteen less than year
ago; the law school enrolment which
has not been given out will be decid-
eddy less than year ago. In the col
lege and scientific school the prelim-
mary registration is less than last
year.
