base ball fans discuss the various players

the backstops who have been in the game
year after year without sustaining injuries
other than slight dislocations. But the
doctors and surgeons have been busy lot

How They work.

mo two catchers work alike. That's
undoubtedly the reason catchers who go
through game after game without hurt
ing their hands usually suffer Injuries
about the legs. yet my hands are always
getting in the way of foul tips
"Catchers also are a superstitious lot
One won't permit another to touch ms
glove lest some hoodoo might follow
Each catcher has his own particular
model, the same as batters have their
favorite stick These gloves are made
per order in glove factories. There must
be more than 100 different designs, which
goes to show the little eceentricities OF the
catchers. One backstop win catch the ball
high up on his glove, another will receive
il right in the middle OF the niitt, and 9TH
ers have different spots well worn into the
leather and padding showing clearly where
the ball lands.

Work uhder Difficulty.

"Oftentimes catchers, though
hurt, are asked to work daily under
full conditions. That happened to me after
Vic Willis, now OF the st. Louis Cardinals,
had smashed the little finger of my throw
ing hand in 1900. While playing the
Fort Wayne club Of the Interstate league
under Manager Miller. l had the mis-
fortune to break one finger. The club was
up in the pennant race and Miller refused
to give me a lay-off until the finger re-
covered. Instead he compelled me to work
fourteen games under penalty of a dis
charge.
Catching at all times is the most dan
gerous position on the ball field. Take the
case OF Jack ONefll. the old Chicago
player. His hands We're all shot to pieces
in years of service. but the hardest blow
came when a foul tip crashed through
his mask binding him in one eye. This
accident drove O'Neill from the diamond.
Among the catchers who have been more
or less fortunate, would mention the
names Of Roger Bresnahan of the Cardi-
nails, Pat Moran OF the Cubs, Charley
Doom OF Philadelphia Nationals, Gibson
OF Pittsburg, Admiral Schlei of the Giants,
Billy Bergen of Brooklyn and Johnny
King None OF those catchers has been
seriously hurt behind the bat Larry
Mclean. Jimmy Archer Billy Sullivan,
Joe Sugden. Frank Bowerman, belong in
my class as regards hard luck. Chance
of the Cubs. who held down a catchers
Job for ten years prior to going to first
base, is another of the unlucky players.

THE SEASONAL RECORD.

1TN ODAY the legislative session of 1910 passes into history. 1t
Il is not a session that the people of the State al recall with
any degree of pride or satisfaction. 1t is not a session that
they will remember with Indifference. If it had ended the way it
was started, as a donothing session, deliberately Sinking the re-
sponsibilities of legislation to save the faces of political candidates
this year. probably the remembrance would have been contemptuous.
But in planning a donotlng session the leaders at Trenton counted
without their host. They forgot the interests to which they were
under obligations and upon which, also, was their. dependence for
financial aid in the coming campaign. Representatives of the in
terests introduced bills or amendments to bills and demanded their
enactment. There could be no denial. And so the donothing SEES
sion was transformed into a legislative saturnalia, with the people
who are going to vote next fall looking on. 1t may be said that
the Legislative leaders couldn't help it. Tied up to the interests,
there was no escape from compliance. All that was demanded of
them was not given, for reasons they could not control. Opposition
was too fierce and the risks too perhous. But the spirit of the
session, the disposition to barter away public rights and legalize
public wrongs, was so Extensively conspicuous that the session will
live in the public memory long enough for that rebuke which all
unfaithful legislatures and Legislators should get from the people
they niSrepresent.

THE LOGIC OF THE LEE Bills DEFEAT.

TT has again been demonstrated in the defeat of the Lee trolley
bill in the Senate. after it had been jugged through the Assem-
bly,, that an aroused public sentiment voiced by newspapers like
The two STARS, is more powerful than an army of corporation lobby
lists with banners, and can prevail in a Legislature so beset by cor
poration attorneys and lobbyists that the voice of the people can be
only dimly heard through the doors of legislation. The bill was con
ceved in selfshness and was a gross violation OF public policy and
public and private rights. The only argument that sustained it
was that the trolley interests wanted it. When the bill stood solely
upon its merits in the Assembly it was decisvely defeated. Its
sponsors then overrated its chances. BY a species of legerdemaln
the bill was revived and passed in the Assembly But the
defeat which the predatory Lee bill has now sustained is by no
means an unmixed evil for the Public Service Corporation. On
the contrary, that company will finally discover that defeat will. re-
dound to its future advantage. 1t saves public bitterness and wards
off opposition to privileges of greater magnitude. The STAR has
always favored reasonable public concessions to the trolley interests,
while demanding that obligations to the public shall be fulfilled.
The concessions sought in the Lee bill were utterly unreasonable,
violative of the property rights of the citizen and subyersive of pub
lie policy. and, therefore, the STAR stoutly opposed the bill that
yesterday was reduced TO legislative junk.

W Governors repeated recommendations. The judiciary COM

it won't see the light this session. Accordingly the Governor will
today send to the Senate the names of fortytwo appointees to the
various county boards. 1t has always been observed that when "A
State board or commission is once created it takes something of a
revolution to get rid of it. Governor Fort began his administration
with strong recommendations for the abolition or consolidation of
State boards, but the boards have hung o with the tenacitv of
leeches. 1t took three years to abolish the State Board of Arbitra-
ton after that body had publicly and officially confessed it was
utterly useless. The State Water Supply Commission hangs on>With
all the promise of a prolonged life and prolonged salaries.

To the Editor of the Evening. Star:
1t occurs to the writer that the world,
the flesh and the devil are uppermost
in the minds of the people. And while
there is a constant struggle going on
between good and evil forces, h lat
ter seems to hold a large majority in
abeyances
Selfish lusts and pleasures are the
first to receive consideration. This
proves that we are stin sinful by nature,
n prone to do evil rather than good.
We do not heed the warning of the
still, small voice within, which tells
us there is q better way.
We forget that life is largely what
we make it, and that when we say or
do anything which is. a violation of
moral or physical laws we thereby
cause harm to ourselves and others.
Such violations through sin in the lives
of the people are what have caused
worldwide trouble,s. trials, tribulations,
difficulties. prosecutions, Affections,
degradations, %weepings, wailings and
gnashines of teeth. AS Matthew Arnold

THE VOTING MACHINES REMAIN.

m \ outcome of the session is the death of the repealers of the
N voting machine act. Bills were introduced in Senate and
House at the beginning of the session, and were promptly
strangled. y bill permitting the municipalities having rejected
machines in their custody to return them to the secretary of State
was passed. The reason for the passage of this bill is that Secre
tary of State Dickinson needs the machines to place in selected
districts, where they can be used to prevent independent Repub-
lcan votes. 1t is now made evident enough that the State will
not be rid of these devices until all the thirteen hundred districts
vote them out, or until a Legislature is elected that is not on
trolled by the voting machine trust.

Wants stray Dogs Killed.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1t is gratifying to note hat the
Board of Health has gone on record
as being in favor of having all dogs
muzzled While at large. They couid
have gone a step further and recon-
mended thai a large number of the
worthless ours that roam our streets
be destroyed. 1t is very doubtful if the
suggestion regarding the muzzling of
dogs will be effective where it is most
needed.
The most thickly settled sections of
the city will be found to harbor the
81 eatest number of stray dogs, that
practically live in the streets, and a

tiers will convince the most skeptical
