No More Base Ball This Year.

With the completion of the world cham
pionship games between the Philadelphia
and Chicago teams the base ball season in
the United States has come to an end.
The ordinary affairs of life. business and
politics may now proceed without inter-
ruption or compromise. The season of
1910 is all in retrospect and the great
army of fans, having been vastly enter
tanned for several months by the struggles
of their favorite clubs, may now settle
back to find entertainment and diversion
elsewhere. They have had their hopes
and their disappointment, their enthu-
siasms and their fears. their hours and
days of exaltation and their reactions in
the slumps. The money they have spent
in attending the games has been We'll in
vested. not only in individual pleasure,
but in the maintenance of u sport which
has become nationally institutional
Base ball as Il business thrives because
il enjoys the confidence of the multitude.
Were there any suspicious that the game
is not square. that the contests are
| fixed" that the competition is not sim
cere. there would soon be an end TO this
highly organized system of public enter
tainment. There are, to be sure, some
who profess to believe that there Is no
honesty in the campaigns within the
leagues or in the encounters of the re-
spective champions. But these are in SO
small minority that their skepticism is
discounted. Confidence has been estab-
lshed by repeated demonstrations that
the men who have invested in clubs and
leagues are determined to prevent profess
sionalism from going to the extent OF
playing solely for the gate money.
Intercity base ball has an excellent eff

Murphy's Power in New York.

II is not likely that Bourke Cochran by
his speeches will win any votes for Mr..
Stimson. For fourteen years his course in
politics has been erratic. He has been in
and out of the democratic party He has
been in and out of Tammany Hail. He
has opposed and then supported Mr.
Bryan. with no change of policies or pur-
pose on Mr.. Bryan's part. An orator OF
graces and d rich vocabulary, he COM
mauds attention for his gifts, but In a
large measure has lost the power of per-
suasion He finds his audiences expectant
and leaves them pleased. but no longer
gets a grip on convictions.
But he may serve a purpose as an ex-
ample of Charles +. Murphy's power In
politics He is a victim of that power.
When he and Mr.. Murphy fell out-the
details of the row have never been pup
Hshed-he went down. In Congress at the
time, and very prominent in Tammany
councils. Mr.. Cochran had to retire from
both places. Mr.. Murphy declared he was
no democrat and dismissed him.
Ii was politics at its rawest. 1t was q
striking illustration of Tammany'S power.
The one man was lawyer and an orator
OF national renown; the other an eX-bar-
keeper without education or refinement
But the latter had but to turn down his
thumb. and the former was finished. The
places that knew Mr.. Cochran then have
rot known him since. and will probably
know him no more forever
Then there was Mr.. Mcclellan. When
lie lost Mr.. Murphy's favor he, too. went
down. Strong as he was in the mayor S
Office with much patronage at his dis
yosal. he could not breast the distavor oil
the man TO whom he owed the place he
would not surrender, and SO had to retire.
His name had at one time been men
toned in connection with the governor
ship. and had he remained on terms with
Mr.. Murphy he would probably have been
the nominee last month of the Rochester
convention AS it was, his name was not
mentioned
Now how about Mr.. Dix? He owes MS
domination, as did Mr.. Cochran and Mr..
Mcclellan their offices, to Mr.. Murphy.
They defied him, and lost out. If Mr.. DIX
is elected governor, and clash comes be-
tween him and the man to whom he owes
his place, will he stand up and pay the
penalty of Mr.. Murphys disfavor? Or
break with him and take chances OF de-
structionc There Is 1912 to be considered,
and if Mr.. Dix in Office is good. he will De
Mr. Murphy's choice for the democratic
nomination for President. Mr.. Murphy
will have a strong hold on him.
