HAYTIME FOR REDLEGS.
Garry Herrmann's Happy Thought t.
Leugthen the Worlds Series.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: It
will be q hard matter to convince the
baseball public that Garry Hermann.
president OF the Cincinnati Baseball
Club. wac not actuated by an Interior
motive when he petitioned the National
Commission to get the consent Of a ma
jorlty Of the club owners in the National
and American leagues to lengthen the
worlds series TO nine games. Hereto
fore the limit has been seven games
excepting in the first worlds series,
when the Boston Red Sox met tho
Pittsburg Pirates. That series was set
at nine games, but was not under the
direction Of the National Commission.
The astute Mr.. Hermann seeks TO
give the impression that his only OBJ
ject in asking for two extra games Is
to accommodate the enormous number
Of Ohio fans who in a few weeks will
be storming the gates OF the Cincinnati
ball park to see Pat Moran's protsges
beat the White Sox. 1t seems strange
to the fans outside OF the Buckeye State
that Hermann did not see his way clear
to request a nine game worlds series
until his own team won the pennant.
the Phillies finished at the head OF the
National League and crossed bats with
the winners in the American League for
baseball supremacy Mr.. Hermann was
content to sit back and let them settle
the issue in seven games.
Mr.. Hermann knows that seven
games are enough TO show which is the
better team. So does the baseball pub
lie. and there is no widespread demand
for two extra games The demand
comes from Garry only. and the chair
man OF the National Commission is
moved not because he is solicitous about
the welfare of the Ohio fans but be .
cause he believes in making hay while
the sun shines. For let IL be known
that this is the first pennant that the
Redlegs have won since Mr.. Hermann
has headed the club.
While II Is understood that Mr.. Herr
mann's request is tantamount to its
adoption by the other owners. let's hope
that Tho latter will not make the change
permanent. FAN.

SANDY wELsH's PLACE.
The Literary Beer Cellar which Poe
May Have Visited.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sk: Ny
letter which you printed August 10
seems to have brought out SO much re-
mark that II occurred to me to endeavor
to bolster up my statements by visit
to the wonderfully complete collection Of
city directories in our Public Library.
/ mud that Sandy welsh's beer cellar
was not exactly on Ann street. The
directory for 1S45-46 and that for
1s46-47 give Alexander f. Welsh (not
walsh). refectory, IS Nassau street"
Tho directory for 1s47-4s gives ALEX
ander r. Welsh, IL Park Row." But
the succeeding directory shows that
Sandy has retired. for we read ALEX
ander y. Welsh, late refectory. Sc Spruce
street."
In other words. Sandy welsh's house.
or rather cellar, Of entertainment might
have been resort for newspaper men,
who were in large force in that vicinity.
Here is willis, N. p, editor Ne,o MIR
ror, Ann street, corner Nassau" In the
directories covering 1S44-45, which was
the period Of Poe's work there until his
removal to Fordham prevented 1t fur
Their. And when the newspapers, or
some OF them. went UP to the present
Newspaper Row Sandy seems to have
kept In their wake. That he was able
to retire to Spruce street and leisure
in 1s4s speaks well for the lucrative
character Of newspaper mems patronage.
And II. as think Appleton Morgan says.
John Augustus Shea was q writer on
the Tribune, II would bring him into con-
tact with Poe from the Neto Mirror.
And may remark in passing that
the attempt by the Richmond gentleman,
Mr.. Witty, to dispose OF all this cumu-
lative evidence by assuming that the late
Chief Justice Shea suffered from lacl;
of information as to his own father
occupation" strikes me as a bit ambi-
tious. TO say the least7
As to Mrs. Fosters boarding house
at Ann street the directories are silent,
but the directory of 1S45-46 gives ed
ward Foster. late straw dealer, Ann
street" So that after retiring from his
straw dealing his wife may have just
taken boarders to help along.

American Buyers OF French Gov
eminent Lottery Bonds.

French Government financiers now
have under consideration a plan to
raise $4,000, 900, 600 by the issue OF
lottery bonds bearing no interest, but
emitting their owners to share in the
proceeds Of frequent drawings Ac-
cording to dispatches from Paris,
"120, 100000 Of coupons would be Is
sued at 500 each and prize drawings
would be made. For the first two
years every day would see some for.
tunate individual. he might be a
Frenchman or a foreigner and would
receive $250,OO0." After two years the
$3.50, 1000 prizes would be drawn once
every week.
That this plan is practicable the
experience of numberless Governments
and other respectable institutions
proves. In this country until recently
lotteries were held to raise money for
such admirable purposes as building
churches and colleges, and many
Americans would unquestionably wei
come an opportunity to buy a bond
when buying a bond meant buying q
chance In an honest lottery.
But, should this plan be adopted
unless our laws are amended, Ameri,
cans who want to gamble under the
auspices Of the French or any other
Government will have to do so clan
destinely or else quit the jurisdiction
of Uncle SAM to accomplish their pur
pose. Lotteries are prohibited by oui
Federal statutes. The Constitution
of New York State provides NOR shall
any lottery or the sale Of lottery
tickets hereafter be authorized oil
allowed within this State"
Or course Americans might go II
Paris to buy lottery bond, and prob
ably a good many Of them would.

Justice to America.

Within the last week two compe-
tent witnesses have given testimony
to certain superlorities of American
practices which Is worthy Of more
than casual attention.
One of these witnesses Is JAMES
w. SULLIVAN, the representative Of
labor on the commission sent abroad
by the National Civic Federation to
study conditions affecting working
hen. Mr.. SULLIVAN has submitted a
report on the situation in England In
which he asserts that despite the wide
advertisement received here by Brit
ish schemes for improving the status
of workers the movements so highly
praised have failed to produce effects
for labor and for employers as good
as those achieved long ago In this
country by the American Federa-
ton of Labor. Mr.. SULLIVAN was
struck by the fact that attractive
catch phrases gaining currency in
England In trade union discussions
are accepted on this side of the At
lantic as records Of things done and
not merely as rhetorical descriptions
Of things desired. Participation in
politics by workingmen as members of
the Labor party has had demoraliz-
ing effect on the labor organizations,
in Mr.. SULLUAN's opinion. In gen.
eral he found the American system
preferable to the British from all
points Of view.

Last Of the Banjo KinRs.

The recent death of EDWARD G.
DoBsoN broke the last link in a chain
of famous American banjo players
which had stretched across about
eighty years. Although DoBsoN was
only 81, his fame as a banjoist dated
back to the '70s, when proficiency with

More than that. he made greater ad-

erai w. w, ArrERBuRY, u. s. A., vice
president Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road and recently Director General
Of Transportation Of the American
Expeditionary Forces, who made a
notable record during the war in a
position Of The utmost difficulty. Gen
eral ATTERBURY has written an article
for the Baltimore and Ohio Employees
Md0dzine in which he compares our
railroad system under normal condi-
tons with the normal railroad sys-
tens Of France and Germany. In
safety, In which we are accustomed
to accuse ourselves Of negligence,
General ArrERsURY believes we are at
least as far advanced as the French,
and even further, on account Of our
better signal system and highly de-
veloped method of train despatching.
General ATTERBURY acknowledges that
better discipline obtains on French
and German lines than on American
lines, and he recognizes and records
the excellence of their permanent
ways, bridges and other structures,
which were built for all time and
stood up remarkably during the years
Of the war, in which they received
very little attention. His conclusion
Is that many Of our operating meth
DDS introduced into France when our
war effort began will be adapted by
the French and utilized by them.
There is natural tendency to de-
cry our own methods, the defects of
which are perceptible to all of us,
and to believe they do these things
better abroad, simply because we hear
only Of the high aspirations of for
eigners and the paper plans they de-
wise. We seldom hear Of their failures,
and we accept our own good works as
commonplace. 1t is worth while oc-
casionally to gather the facts together
and to give credit to Americans for
what they have done and are doing.
