he has promised to pay large sums OF
money on February 10. 1911. but they
are positive that Fletcher has no hnan-
cial backing to amount to anything, al
though he has tried to interest many
persons with money. Jack Gleason. the
fight promoter who with Tex Richard
pulled on the recent ana1r at Reno, says
that the Fletcher movement is "a sure

dollar In it as long as organized base

In the foregoing broadside Johnny
Evers yesterday expressed his attitude as
regards the recent statement of Fogel to
the effect that he might place the Trojan
I'm command Of the Quakers next year.
During his journey last week through
the. cotton country Fogel paused at New
Orleans long enough to grant an inter-
view. in which he tossed copious compn-
ments in the general direction Of the Cub
second base sacker, with parting sho.
to the effect that John might be seen at
the helm, vice Doom.
This sally ELECTED strenuous roar from
President Murphy, who rose to remark
that Fogel couldn't have Evers II the
whole Philadelphia club was placed on
the swapping block. Meanwhile John,
free from the bonds Of a contract for the
coming season, is highly indignant at the
manner in which Fogel has used his
name. In conclusion the scrappy West
slider declared he. would play with the
Cubs or not at all so Tar as MS Di8
league future was concerned.
Upon his return yesterday from nying
trip to Cincinnati Mr.. Murphy protested
a keen silence relative to the affairs OF
the Philadelphia club. The Cub chieI
ior1rneyed down to Redland to confer
with Charles P. Taft on matters of base
bali import other than the squabble be-
tween Hermann and Fogel.

quarrel would be subject of discussion
at the December meeting. but President
Lynch has forestalled any threatened
interclub war by persuading Hermann
and Fogel to arbitrate the matter.
Both men have agreed to state their
cases to Lynch and let him act as referee
and straighten out the dispute. Herr
mann and Fogel have notified the Ma
tional League head that they are subject
to his call any time after today, and
the men will probably meet at National
League headquarters within week.
Fogel now admits that the trade will
have to be made in some form or other
in order to maintain harmony in the
ranks Of both the clubs concerned. Lynch
is very anxious to settle the thing in an
amicable manner, as he believes that the
strength of any league consists in the
harmony Of its component parts. There
is no doubt that Lynch will be reelected
to his present Office. He only needs four

The Great ReaIlsts.

While studying the great painters, 1
had begun to notice that there was a
certain quality common to all of them,
a certain power they all possessed
when working at highest pressure;
the power of seeing things as they
are-the vital and essential truth of
things. don't mean to say that all of
them possessed this faculty to the
same degree. Far from it. The truth
|of things to Titan is overlaid with
romance; he is memorable mainly for
his magic Of color and beauty, while
Holbein is just as memorable for his
grasp Of reality. But compare Titan
with Giorgione or Tintoretto and you
will see that his apprehension of the
reality of things is much greater than
theirs. 1t is that which distinguishes
him from the other great colorists Of
veniee.-Frank Harris in the October
