Somehow that scene impressed me as un-
pleasant. 1t was plain enough that the two ladies
were unselhshly working. 1t could scarcely have
been pleasant for them to stand there all day long
and endure those encounters. Their manner as
well as their manners, could not have been bet
ter. And yet | wondered if they were not misdi-
recting their energy 1t was surely not considerate
OF them to interrupt men obviously busy and
hurried Then, too, in their appeal there was the
suggestion OF taking advantage. Even the men
that treated them rudely by brushing past without
word betrayed that they were scf-conscious
and uncomfortable, in instances irritated And
most OF those that stopped and gave up had the
air OF doing something under protest Here surely
was very unattractive way OF getting money
even for good cause. Moreover, it was making
questionable use of and Of worldly pros
perlty If those ladies had not been well dressed
and had been unable to snow that they were of
some importance, or if they had been men, this
method OF collecting money would not have been
thought Of The purpose, instead of helping the
SITUATION made it worse. 1t carried the suggestion
OF interference, of almost coercing the public to do
what those ladies thought the public ought to do
1t was a kind of ethical tyranny, not unlike so
many of those tyrannies in the past that used to
cause so much trouble in the world.

In some American cities the practice has gone

this day money is COLLECTED for old ladies' homes

matter There stands charming woman before

a stranger for money in a noble cause How can
he refuse? If he is considerae of women or sensi-

Sometimes the charity workers go into the more
fashionable restaurants. There as rule thcy
meet the more weto-do who may be expected to
be able to give generously. AS rule they first
receive permission from the proprietors Some pro-
prietors object. With justice they feel that they
have right to subject their guests to this kind
Of intrusion In the restaurants advantage is taken
OF the spirit that makes men wish to appear at
their best before women. IF a man is accom-
panied by ono woman or more looking on and
listening sympatheticay, he has to have an amount
of courage almost reaching ccccntricity to stand
on principle and refuse
The most Objectionable of all kinds of public
appeals for charity is that of the Children A few
weeks ago / spoken to by several little girls
who were gathering money for some cause or
other. OF course. those girls ought not to have
been allowed by their parents to do such work 1t
subjected them to very serious danger. Besides
it tended to develop in them qualities that most
OF us don't like to see in little girls But they
were only initiating the example of their elders
many of these mothers.
Under present conditions | suppose we must
have charity We must do what we can to amclio-
rate the injustices that result from inequalities of
opportunity and from sickness and old age In
deed charity is important that we ought not to
make it any odious than it must be in its
own nature. Those kind ladies who subject them
selves to much labor and fatigue on certain days
tor charity's sake might find more profi. in study
ing the causes that lead to charity and might oc-
cupy a part OF their leisure to greater advantage
by joining in the efforts now made here and there
all over the world to put end to those causes

DEAL FOR MATTY TO JOIN
 REDS TO BE CLOSED TODAY
Veteran Pitcher Glad of Chance to Try Skill As
 Cincinnati Manager.

Matty knows that he is through as a pitcher, and so does the club, and while McGraw the only manager he has ever had, and his friend for years, entertains a strong sentimental dislike to seeing the veteran go, he is glad that his one great pitcher is finding such conspicuous berth and taking a step upward in the baseball busi- ness. The other players all feel the same way. They hate to see Matty go, but are delighted that he is doing so well and will continue active con- nection with the game.
 Harry Sallee, the southpaw pitcher, is expected to report to the Giants to- day. The deal with the St. Louis club for Sallee was competed today. It was entirely a cash transaction. All of the available. tradable New York players are involved in the Cincinnati swap. and McGraw has no others whom he is willing to send to St. Louis. The latter team gets cash, said to be s10,000, and these figures are not far out of the way In addi- tion,- Sallee's claims against the St. Louis club, salary and fine imposed on him while Cardinal. will be talk en up by his new employers and ad- justed to his satisfaction.

ST. LOUIS TEAM
 BEATS NEW HAVEN

New Haven. July 17-Fielder Jones and his St. Louis Browns led an at- tack upon the Coionials at Lighthouse Point yesterday afternoon and einerg- ed with a victory after nine innings of interesting baseball. Four to nothing was the big leaguers' margin of suc- cess. Everything. considered the Colonials played good ball and there was no disgrace attached to their de- feat. Two singles at the right time would have put the Colonials in the running. Jones handed the twirling assign ment to Fred Parks, one of his second string men? while 2 Eddfer fMaa7a6s. of Harvard fame. adorned the mound for the Colonials. Both men went the entire route and there was little to choose between the two.
 George Sisler, Bert Shotten . and Doc" Lavan, who stand out as three of the best players in the American league, were on hand. All three re- tired early in the game in favor of substitutes however. as Jones.. did' Hot care to risk the chance. of seeing them injured. During Lavan's short stay in the game he gave as fine an exhibition of short-stopping as has been seen on the local grounds this season. His batting accounted for two of the Browns quartet of tallies. Sisler played well afield but failed to garner hit. Shotten, who did not appear to be trying. was replaced by Fielder Jones in the fifth inning.

Matty Has Been In
 National League For
 Past Sixteen Years

Sixteen years ago today Christy Mathewson made his. debut in the box for the Giants. The old Washington Park in Brooklyn was the scene of Big Six's first attempt in the big show, which was far from being triumph. In the fifth inning Ed Doheny blew up, and George Davis, then pilot of the Giants. decided to give his 9-year- old recruit chance to show his met tie. When Matty went in the score was to 5, and Brooklyn had two men on. The Superbas got two runs in that inning, and six more in the re- mainder of the contest, winning by a score of 8 to z. Christy didn't win a game that year, and was charged with the loss of three. In April Gof 1901 he annexed his first victory for the Giants, and had a total of twenty to his credit that year, against seven. teen lost. He didn't become a real star, however, until 1913, when he won thirty games and lost only thirteen. It was not until last year that Matty began to slip, but even now he is a handy man to have around.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1S82-John l.. Sullivan and Tug Wilson fought 4 rounds in New York. Sullivan had won the heavyweight championship few months before by whipping Paddy Ryan at Mississippi City, and he was then at the height of his powers. Sullivan took on Will son, who was an Englishman. under an agreement to put him away inside of rounds, but, although the Brit isher was a smaller and lighter man, Tug stuck the limit and got the coin. Wilson was much superior to Sullivan in science and skill, and the great John l.. was made to look like novice much of the time. Wilson showed gameness as well as cleverness, for John L. landed several blows hard enough to put the average man to sleep, but they didn't have any effect on the valorous Tug. Wilson wasn't the only Englishman who showed up Sullivan, for Charlie Mitchell. who was only middleweight, fought John to thirty-nine round draw a few years later. In fact, up to the time Sullivan was whipped by Corbett, small but scientific boxers made a better show ing against Sullivan than did the big fellows. In Wilson and. Mitchell the old warehouse met men who couldn't be bluffed, and it was by sheer bluff that Sullivan won many of his battles.

GOSSIP FROM INDUSTRIAL
 AND FACTORY LEAGUE CLUBS

Three pitchers were unable to stop the swatfest the Billiards enjoyed at the expense of the Electric Cable team Saturday, and the offerings of Ko- hout, Gabor and LaValla were knocked all over the lot. Eleven hits were garnered from the trio. The score was 12 to 2. Both teams made seven errors. but the Electric Cables came at inopportune times and were more costly. Kohout made four of his teams six hits, ketting them out of four times at bat Ffnlayson was the heavy willow wielder for the Bull- lards, getting four out of five times up,
 Youfas saved nine innings in the box for the Burns Bassick team and was pounded uncercifully by the Rem ington-Y osts, Saturday, when the lat ter team won 15 to G. The typewriter crew collected II hits while Clark was touched for five safeties. Wargo and Haviland were the members of the Yosts' heavy, artillery, the former get ting three hits out of four times up and his teammates, three out of five. Mccarthy was the only Burns Bassick man who could solve Clarke's slants. connecting for three hits out of three trips to the plate.
 The Remington Arms still have a clean slate, and were given the game with the Holmes & Edwards Saturday without the exertion of playing it. The Silver shop team failed to appear and it was forfeited. Ef
