According to Steinnger the Ques-
ion of seeking compromise with

added. but it wouldn't be surprising
If The baseball Tight which has been

mo definite plans have been made
in the way Of seeking q cooperation
OF The two baseball forces. said
President Steninger I'VE have dis
cussod the matter informally only
among ourselves. and it seems TO be
the general opinion of those in the
Federal league that something should
be done iu the way of putting an end
10 the strife.
Because ne said he looked for some
such compromise during the winter
Steininger said ne was unable 10 an
nOunce any plans SO far as the ST.

From outside sources IL IS said ne

ward efiecting a peace agreement be-

That the Feds should desire peace

Sutton was more interested I'M the
land than the spring II was a
long time before the billiard cham
pion discovered that the water of
this spring possessed rare mineral
properties.
His attention was first called to
this fact because the stock on the
farm refused to drink the water. This
led TO an investigation ana then an

waters of this spring were rich in
minerals and wonderful In health

Before becoming a billiard player.
George Suttn had won many honors

of years he held various titles at the

belief in his versatility as an expert
with the cue that induced him to try
billiards His success was almost
immediate and he soon afterwards
succeeded In holding tie titles in
both the 1871 and 1872 styles OF the
game.
On account of m health he was
compelled TO abandon billiards and

McGraW Had His Mind Set
On Winning Four Straight Flags

NEW YORK. Sept. 29.-There are
many in this town who are glad the
Braves are winning, because they
admire the wonderful fight made by
Stallings, and there would be more
but for the fact that many OF us
wanted to see McGraw break the re-
cord of baseball by winning four
straight flags. That has never been
done, and the chances are it never
will. McGraw has had this in mind
ever since the season began, and he
has constantly impressed upon his
men the necessity of fighting their

slump at the finish.

POLYTECHNICS AGAINST
Delaware IN next Game

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Sept 29.-With the ex-
ception of few of them being sore
and bruised the Delaware College
football team showed no bad effects
of the hard Lafayette game when
Coach McAyoy had them out for
practice yesterday afternoon. The
coach as well as the players are sat
isfied with the showing made against
Lafayette and say that they gave the
Easton boys a much harder game
than the score would indicate. Lafay-
cite made most of their scores on
forward passes and very little gains
by line plunging.
Bratton one of the most likely OF
the freshmen who had been playing
tackle on the varsity in all the
scrimmages was unable to play in
the Lafayette game because of
slight injury received in practice late
last week. He is improving. how

CAREER OF BARRY
IN THE REVOLUTION
Won First Sea Victory and
Fired the Last Shot in
Battle AfIoat.
GAVE UP RICH FUTURE
TO SERVE HIS COUNTRY
Spurned Offer of British Gold and
Honors to Desert the Ameri-
can Cause.
BY WILLIAM BARRY MEANY.

From October IL. 1775. to the end of
his naval career tby DEATH September 13.
1903. Commodore John Barry was the
ranking officer of his ship and squadrons
and at no time did he serve under a Sc
nior officer. reporting direct to Washing
ton. Congress. the marine and secret
ronmittees and to the Secretary of the
Navy when that department was insti-
tuted
Every event of Commodore Barry's ma
val career has been established by unim-
peachable official records and testimony.
Tho tale, the surroundings the dramatis
personae. the very actualities which make
UP the naval career of the valorous John
Barry, conform almost to the minutest
rubric which govern the laws of ideal
tragic romance. 1t is impossible to in
vent fiction concerning the acts of his ex-
traordinary naval career. ..
1t may be needless to observe that
Barry espoused with patriotic ardor the
cause of liberty. or to say with what con-
stancy of attachment and boldneSs of en-
terprise he supported his country's inter
est during the revolutionary war: all who
have read the truthful history of that
glorious struggle must be familiar with
the name and record of Commodore John
Barry. and view In him a patriot of true
integrity and undoubted bravery-a pa
triot without reproach. and one who loved
his country so that in serving 1t he want
ed no recompense. Having espoused the
cause of liberty from principle. he was
attached to it with all the glow of pa
triotic enthusiasm nothing could divert
him from it nor damp his ardor.
II was in the thirty-six-gun ship AL
liance that Commodore Barry performed
his most illustrious deeds: yet before at
tempting a brief sketch of her cruises a
few words of introduction will not be
enliss concerning the career of one whose
earlier achievements made our flag re-
spected on the seas. and who. incidental
