BOOSTERS DAY
AT THE BALL PARK.

Boosters Day" at the American
League Ball Park in our big sister
city across the river, brought out a
large crowd of loyal fans to encour-
age their favorites.Such an organized
effort on the part of fuil-grown,
sane men, in behalf of professional
team opens the mind to the hold
which our national game has taken.
upon the people. 1t is easy to under
stand how school and college students
enthuse over the base ball teams
representing their schools, but their
enthusiasm extends to every branch
of sport in which their respective
teams participate. This love OF sport
is characteristic of the American peo-
pie but love of baseball is positive
passion with great majority of them.
II holds first place in their hearts,
among the sports. 1t matters lit
tie to the average man that the
United States was victorious over the
British in the recent international
polo match. Few people care about
q game that can be INDUCED in only
by those who can afford the purchase
and keep of a stable Of polo ponies
and other expenses incident to such
snort. On the other hand, every NINA
can return with keen enjoyment TO
the games played in the meadow be-
hind the barn or on some never-1o-
be-forgotten city common, and such
recollections engender a desire teo
watch the game played by those VINO
know it best. 1t is the sport OF the
people; rich and poor, distinguished
and humble; from the President to
the boy who looks through the kno'
hole in the fence. Professional base
ball, as now played, is conducted up
on a high plane anG constitutes
clean, manly sport which IS crealt
10 the nation. 1t is needless 10
wish it a great future. That Is as
sured beyond peradventure OF doubt

we are of opinion that final action
on the tariff will be delayed oy the
bringing forward Of any important
piece of Legislation before that las
been consummate and still fur
ther, we think that the dissentions
which exist in the senate over certain
schedules of the Underwood bill will
be strengthened by TIE introduction
of second administration measure

judgment prevail among Democratic
Senators. 1t were safer not to i'm

imperatively demanded, though of
great Importance. To attempt tie
doing of too much is to risk the
achievement Of anything. If the
special session shall carry out III
completeness the pledges of the T.
timore platform for revision Of the
tariff, it will have earned fer the
Democratic administration the plau-
dts of the country and its trust that
all other promises will be fairly aad
wisely redeemed in due season."
