forty seconds. and similar arrangements
have been made on the subway.
Seeing all this enthusiasm makes me
wonder why your base ball game has
never been taken up in Great Britain. l
base ball managers here would send a
team of nine men to England as instruct
ors and settle them somewhere down in
the north and try to coach an English.
Scotch. Welsh and Irish team mean
men drawn from each country--they would
in a few months get together a very fine
team, and these might be sent over to
America to play some of your teams here.
Probably only the second-rate ones to
commence with. but after year or so,
your best. i believe there lis a lot of
chance here for some enterprising man
both to popularize game in England
and to make lot of money for himself.
The British people are not slow to take
up any new sport, once they are thor
oughly conversant with il, but | do not
suppose one-eighth per cent of the popu-
lation in British Isles have ever seen
base ball game, and IL they could only
see the enthusiastic crowds here and real
ize the wonderful spirit that the game
works up I feel sure that il would not
be long before they sent over a team
which would do them credit and a great
international base ball match would be
an affair that would cause the greatest
enthusiasm both over here and there. L
believe the French would take il up. They
learned foot ball from us and come over
now and occasionally beat US on our own
ground

when they see the park filled to capacity
and then are paid for many less than
they have been led to understand could
get into the place the usual howl will
go up, for ball players are a suspicious
lot in their dealings with club owners.
According to George Stallings of Buff
faio, who is here to attend the games,
the Washington club has picked up two
cracking good ball players in Moeller and
Foster, purchased from Rochester Stall
lings is very enthusiastic about Moeller,
whom he declared to be one of the great
est young players in the game. Accord
ing 10 Stallngs. Moeller's traducers have
accused him of being what is vulgary
his defense with the following:
Calling young players 'boneheads'
simply because they lack experience is
one of the dangerous things that a young
player has to go against" said he. when
1t comes to knowing the game all young
players are bOneheads' when they break
in. Lajoie and Wagner belonged to this
class when they started out. and Moeller
is a whole lot wiser now than they were
when they came into fast company.
Moeller is as fast as Cobb and he has
his slide. I'll admit that l like him bet
ter than any young BAH player l have
seen in recent years. and may enthuSe
more about him than l ought to, but,
take my word for it, he will make good in
Washington and be a running mate for
Milan
wherever he is played on the infield for
he both field and hit and is not a
slow man on the bases.''
The fact that Stallings did not mention
Spencer. the first baseman purchased
from the same club, is significant

W0LGAST AND WELLS
FINALLY MATCHED


NEW YORK, October 14.-Ad Wolgast,
lightweight champion of the world, and
Matt Wells, lightwe; ght champion of
England, are finally matched. They will
fight ten rounds at the Madison Athletic
Club here Friday, November g. for a
purse of $4,000. The men are to weigh
in at 1875 pounds at o'clock on the day
of the contest.
For several days past there has been
much speculation as to whether or not
Wolgast and Wells would fight in this
city. One club offered a purse of Sd, 900
for the match few days ago, but could
not guarantee to hold the fight. Since
then the managers of the various local
fight clubs have been hot on the trail
of the match.
The fact that both men are champions
in their class. that they are conceded to
be so evenly matched and that the con-
test will be an international one marks
the match as, perhaps. the most i'm
portant of the season here.

simple but magnetic legend that drew

harvest, and charged fabulous eleventh
hour prices for chairs in the grandstand
Forty thousand persons was the New
York clubs estimate of the number that
would pack the vast reaches of the new
Brush stadium to see the contest. Scores
of persons appeared at the grounds with
counterfeit tickets which they had pur-
chased from spectators. They were turn
ed away by the police.
Mathewson for the Giants and Bender
for the Athletics seemed the likely choice
of pitchers for the days game.
The Giants ruled favorites in the bet
ting at 6 to ). though some wagers were
made at evens.
The October sun beamed mellow in a
sky yelled by a thin fleece of white
clouds. The thermometer at the Polo
Grounds registered 81 degrees at S
o'clock. and the early crowds flockins
northward over elevated and subway
lines carried overcoats and furs.
BY o'clock 800 persons were in line
behind the vanguard which had endured
the al-night vigil. Eight patrolmen, a
sergeant and a police captain had been
on duty all night, and there was no dis
order. At o'clock this morning 200 ad-
ditional patrolmen began to arrive, while
100 more were held in reserve at a near
