in the English language dealing with Irish subjects the committee had the some complaint to make. None of the recent books that would help an American student to understand de- velopments in Ireland were to be found while the latest volume on Italian art or literature could be easily procured. They would state in comparison with other classes it was a scandal the poor literary tastes of Irish citizens. The committee also recommended that the librarian be asked to take s'An Claid- heam Soluis". the weekly organ of the Gaelic League. The signatures of F. OHusithne. J. J. MacCarthy and J. Dolan, were signed to the report.
 J. J. ONeill said they should empha- size this grievance which the large Irish colony in Bridgeport suffered. He often wished to consult some of the modern works on Ireland. partic- famous volume "Contemporary Ire land", but found he could not get it.. He would snot blame the librarian or any of the library off cials as they were the most hardworking and obllg- ing of public servants. but he blamed those Irishmen in public office that let such important matters. escape their notice.
 The president. J. Dolan. also said 1t was not the fault of the library people but of the Irish people themselves. Several others joined in the discussion and it was decided to get into com with the city librarian on the matter and furnish him with a list of the more important volumes.

STAR FIELDING
 TEAM OF THE NATIONAL LEAGUE

New York, Dec. 5If Manager Chance, of the Chicago Cubs, wants a new third baseman to succeed Harry Steinfeldt, as has been rumored, he won't fhave to go outside the roster of his present payroll to find him. The Nat onal league fielding averages lust issued. show that Heine zimmer- man. the Cubs utility player. made only one error in g games at the third corner, last season. giving him an unprecedented averoge of .987. This is probably as good card as a third baseman ever turned in for a like number of games. AS a sec- ond baseman, "Zimmie'' failed to sh ne. being eighth in the list.
 The best fielding team in the Ma tional League, based on the 1910 av- erages, would be: Chance. Chicago, first base; McKetchnie. Pittsburg. sec ond base: Zimmerman. Chicago. third base; NDoolan, Philadelphia s short stop; Collins, Boston; Sheckard, Chi cago, and Titus, Philadelphia, out fielders: Moran. Philadelphia, catcher, and ether Scanlan. Brooklyn. or Low CT. Pittsburg, and Sallee. St. Louis, of 1.00o. Kane. Chicago and Abbott, of St. Louis, had higher fielding aver ages than any. of those chosen, but they played in only "a few games.
 The records are surprise, in that they show the meek and lowly Brook lynites in first place as to team av- erages, with percentage of .964. This is 001 better than Chicago.

Editor of the Farmer:
 Sir-A goodly assemblage of students mustered last evening in the United Irish Societies hall and three classes for the study of Irish phonetics. phil plogy. and the Gaelic Language were formed. On a report of the commit tee 1t was decided to invite the two distinguished envoys from the Gaelic League. namely Ffonan MacCaluim and the Rev. Michael O'F1annagan, to visit Bridgeport. A proposal to invite . delegation of officers from every Irish club and society to confer with the Gaelic society as to the best means of assuring the success of Father OF1annagan's lecture. was passed unanimously.
 Mr. o. Huaithne chairman of the Press committee. presented a report stating the committee had examined the catalogue of the Bridgeport Public Library and excepting an Irish Eng fish dictionary could find no works in the Gaelic tongue, Notwithstanding the fact that there were many earnest students of Gaelic reading here. On the other hand they found several pages devoted to the names of vol tunes in French. German and Italian provided by the city for the use and convenience of those other citizens of Bridgeport. As the Irish residents had to pay their share of the assess ment the committee thought the Ls- brary board should provide at least proportionate number of books for Irish readers.
