WRITING BASEBALL

Discussion Of the proper method OF reporting
baseball games is becoming general and serious.
Newspapers of gravity and dignity taking
the matter ND and treating it editoraly along
with the suzer-G1ynn affair. the tariff and cur
rency bills. aud other pending topics.
1t is realized that the baseball business in
this country is of real Importance. Millions Of
dollars are invested in it and it provides hun
dreds Of thousands of people with summer
amusement and interest, and with large part
of their reading matter. About the same general
incidents attend every baseball game, big or
little Attempt to tell of these in conventional
and regular English would result In rather dreary
monotony. In Great Britain. newspapers and
magazines are publishing many columns Of de-
bate and suggestion how to brighten
cricket" the national outdoor sport of the people
% the empire. The apparent decadence of the
game and loss Of interest In it is charged In a
great measure to the failure of the newspapers
to give any variety or brightness to their de-
scriptions OF the matches.
It is likely that within the next two seasons
In this country shall see reform in baseball
reporting. bringing It to a sensible and reasonable
basis. Reporters will be taught to make them
selves Ineligible to the ordinary citizen. while
at the same time using reasonable quantities
OF the slang and technical expressions of the
game, For instance they viii be instructed tina.
everybody does not know the pet arbitrary
names of the teams and that such contingency
as the reading of local newspapers by strangers
is always possible. Each State has its own league
and each club of each league has Its home name
but the outsider depending on the average news
paper story is lost absolutely to the city from
which any team comes. We getting away
from the saturnalia of slang of few years ago
when the professional baseball reporter was at
elaborate pains to write his stories so that nobody
but the professional could comprehend what he
trying to say. We may hope that in the near
future there will be further improvement and
that the average human being who attends a
ball game week or twice a month, and
at the same time likes to keep track Of the daily
play, may gather without painful study and con.
slant reference to slang dictionaries information
as to what has been done on each of the dia-
monds in which he is interested

THE POWER OF MONEY,

The escape Of Harry X. Thaw from Matteawan
illustrates anew the power of money and the
difficulty in coping with it. SO long he had
hopes Of freedom by legal means Harry Thaw
remained in Matteawan AS these hopes
had been definitely blasted, Harry Thaw walked
out
Money did the work. without 1t Thaw would
now be confined in Matteawan forgot by the
world
Yet, there Is no for lamentation. We
knew before that money Is powerful and that
men are not ineorruptible. And Thaws escape
proves nothing else. There is no argument here
against the quality of our democracy. Money
did not purchase Thaw's freedom from the courts,
one of the hulwarks OF that democracy, but
from a corrupt man. There are thousands of
other corrupt men. always have been and will
be for centuries to come.
This one just happened to be In position

no man lacking these qualities would have defed
an assembly controlled by implacable and I'M
scrupulous political boss. Readily he could have
purchased immunity; readily he could have sc.
cured favors by trucking to Tammany. BY per-
hitting Murphy and his followers to do as they
pleased, he could have retained his office. and
though he went out as John Dix went out, he
would not have faced the probability of going
out with a cloud upon his name and his political
grave would not have been dug nor his political
corpse wrapped in cerements of dishonor.

CsRPTNG CRITICISM.

n That the Home for Girls at Bon Air Is State
Institution is not news.
That the public has a right to know "hat
Is going on, and to know the truth about condi-
tons is no startling truth.
That number Of hayward girls, some half
wstfed and all criminally inclined. should be
difficult TO handle and that occasional uprising
should occur, especially when those ignorant
of conditions interfere. Is not surprising
There is no occasion for hostile editorials and
automatic statements having no bearing on the
subject and for Falstaffan hoastings of turn
Ing on the light and doing great things where
what is needed is being done.
II the truth is wanted the public hearings
given some time ago furnished the opportunity.
One truth brought out at those hearings and
easily ascertainahle'is that the matron in charge
does have control over her charges and one
lesson to be drawn Is that outside interference
from those who know little OF conditions and
seek sensation rather than the truth has been
responsible for the troubles of the institution.
Being trustees OF public institution those In
charge of the institution should be encouraged
and advised and above all things should not be
subjected TO nagging and picayunish fault find

Refusal OF Nations to Exhibit.

Inasmuch as twenty nations already
have accepted invitations to exhibit at the
coming Panama Pacific exposition. there need
be no serious anxiety about the success OF the
enterprise and the refusal of Russia. Turkey.
Bulgaria. Servia and Great Britain officially to
take part should not be construed as a black
eye for the approaching event. Three Of these
nations are engaged in and have no time to
think of gala days
The British have concluded that their manu-
facturers as a whole cannot make their parti-
cipaton prove profitable. and that Is the chief
reason why they hold aoof On the other hand,

Gems in deciding whether the judge has or has

such as to make the whole Lindsey story as
