GRIF DICKERs FOR PLAYERS.
Hopes to Obtain Hard Hitting Out
fielder From National League.
BY ]. ED GRILLO.

SHIBE PARK, PHILADELPHIA, Oc-
tober 1O-In an effort to strengthen his
outf1eld, Manager Griffith of the Ma
tionals is comforting with several of the
magnates who are attending the big
series. Griffith is particularly anxious to
secure either Marsans or Bates of the
Cincinnati club. He had a long talk
with Garry errmann this morning, and
the latter has taken Griffith's proposition
under advisement.
There is, however. little chance of Sc
curing Marsans. The Cuban is consid-
cred one of the best players in the Ma
uonal League, and Hermann said he had
no Intention OF parting with him. He adj
mitted. however. he was willing to part
with Bates. but II remains to De seen If
thes other league clubs will consent to
Bates going to the American League.
Bates IL 800 hitter, and a player of
good habits and lots of speed.
Not taking any chances in event Of
failing to get either OF these men, Grit
fifth is negotiating with the Pittsburgh
club for Butler, whom the Pirates used
in the fnfield. but who is really an out
fielder Butler is q splendid hitter, and
Griffith figures that with 800 man in
left field he can win the flag next year.

When It Sits Again.
Thus the Irish Parliament was
launched in it's now and splendid home
to run the sixty-nine years that re-
mained Of it's life. That period COW
cred some of the mott notable enact
ments that it had given in the course
of it's long legislation. Originating, as
we see, in the informal meetings of
the Chief Governors and their coun-
Gil, it soon widened into an Upper and
Lower House, and became the Parlia-
ment of the Pale. For centuries its
measures were directed against the
larger part of the nation; and not till
it met as the Patriot Parliament in
1889 do we find the rights of the whole
Of Ireland recognized. But in spite
of banishments. confiscations and
fresh plantations, the nation was be-
ing welded. Within generation the
descendants of the colonists, claiming
the name of Irishmen, proclaimed
their legislative independence. When
the Irish Parliament meets again, as
we have every hope to believe it will
in this twentieth century, it will at
last be representative assembly, not
of minority, but of the whole of the
people of Ireland. Housed once more
North and South, East and West, de-
liberating together, it may face time
without fear.
