BRUCE'S CON Assistant Superintendent of May Never be able CITIZENS DEMAND SUCH Congress May be Asked to Investigate the "Exposition"—Will A. M. E. Church ager Brown in Town looking after District Attorney Cobb goes out of C (By R. W. Thompson.) Bureau of the Freeman, 1223 S. Strete N. W. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 8- The condition of Roscoe Conkling Bruce, assistant superintendent of the hospital inington, has been relieved of serious, and his friends fear the injuries growing out of an automobile accident of several weeks ago, must permanently be treated. He is confined to his home at 1327 Columbia road, under the constant care of physicians and nurses, and he is permitted to see him. He is said to be suffering from an alimentary skin to spinal meningitis, complained with concussion of the neck and accompanied by accompany affections of this type. The situation is handled amid much mystery by the adherents, but the facet is that Mr. Bruce is a very sick man and it will surprise the most sanguine if he again enters upon his duties as assistant superintendent in charge of the colored There is no disposition on the part of those opposed to Mr. Bruce to hound students to take advantage of his aliments to hasten a change in his behavior, and to be a feeling that, since the schools must open on the 20th of September and the welfare of 15,000 students must not be taken to be taken to place in charge of the work some man capable of rendering assistance to the assistant teacher. It is an open secret that the colored schools are in a state of chaos, growing out of the injury to Mr. Bruce per the instructions of the term and that the assistant teacher was not in a condition to round out the year in proper form. The annual report of the colored schools, with estimates and recommendations, has never been submitted in satisfactory completeness to work now to bring it into an understandable shape. The schools have much preliminary work in sight for the argument is advanced from many sources that the students should be filled without further delay. Some contend that, in view of the divisions and complaints associated with the administration of Mr. Bruce, drastic action should permanently filled at once, as the usefulness of the incubant has long been questioned. Mr. Bruce may suggest a year's leave of absence for Mr. Bruce's leave of absence for Mr. Bruce's chance for injury, third action to be taken at the end of the education will meet in a few days it is expected that the matter will be out thoroughly by the nine members. In the event of a change, quite a number of experienced educators will be placed. Among those prominently mentioned are L. M. Hershaw, a graduate instructor in the school system, his own interest in civic advancement, E. C. Williams, principal of the M street high school; W. S. Montgomery, supervisor in the local school system, and E. C. Williams, principal of Municipal Bench. All are capable men and the selection of one of them gives a larger measure of satisfaction than the selection of a烦躁 time. If the Board of Education is responsive to public feeling, a reform effort is at once initiated and at once begun, beginning with the deployable situation long complained of the Miner Normal School. It is asserted that the Miner Normal School, principal of the Normal School, entitled her to full control there, and herself with assistance that are in full sympathy with her policies. Congressional Investigation of Schools Lackly In all probability, the condition of the public schools will be investigated, success, and out of it the radical change may come. Conciliations to as abuses and unfairness have become so general that sentiment of the masses cannot maintain. The porters of the present system are wise, they will institute reforms needed, in order to the investigation, and some of the details of the process of the facts. If the power to the Board of Education is changed, the District Commissioners, and the recognized board will put into operation the methods demanded. it is possible the peace may be made at school. The situation may be opened for the new year, and eagerly awaiting the rise of the curricula on the next act of this sensational How About That So-called "Exposition" at Richmond? Speaking about investigations, there is much talk going the rounds that the affair is the so-called "emancipation exposure" by Richard Van Lee. It be the subject of an investigation by congress. The officials of the concern through the Giles B. Jackson floated the claim for that $5,000 appropriation as not satisfied to let the matter drop, as the honor and dignity are involved. They are being left to hold the heavy load of offspring over the fat process be has succeeded in pocketing in the same race, according to protests filed by the appointee of the State of Virginia. They did over the advice given by some papers and a person named Jackson ought to be let alone and forbidden. The minority punishment is the first measure of all offenders and they do not believe that Jackson shall be allowed to escape so easily—that to ignore this flasco will encourage him. or others to try the same game again when the present scrape is forgotten. In the meantime, rent that Jackson is formulating plans for a mammoth "exposition" near Norfolk, to be held in 1819 in commemoration of the Battle of Richmond, the landing of the Negro at Jamestown. It is understood that the leaders in Congress, as well as the President, are to visit Richmond, and Richmond failure, and that a request will be made for the opening of the books with a view of determining just where the $55,000 and other receipts will be. Messrs. Jones and Miller, of Richmond, give it out that the alleged 'Richmond Exposition' shall not pass from memorial to the public. The operation is laid bare to the world. Will the A, M. E. Church Elect Any New Blahsons Next May! This is the startling question that is being asked by certain interested factors in the A. M. E. church in this vicinity. Some bishops, Turner, Merger, later City conference, and it was taken for granted by the country at large that the next general conference and the field is full of candidates, relying on some finance of the usual cash, and pay any additional fees, plitting with expectation, but there is a horde of lesser lights anxious for the called higher. The secretaryship of the various boards, editors of the church papers, heads of the printing and publication posts and bitter contests are frequently waged for them. If the stream is to be dammed up at the Bishopic, every man from rising. The talk of economy and no election of bishops to fill vacancies must therefore cause a serious short of time. There may be nothing in the agitation, but this is what a prominent churchman said the man from rising for discussion not of a department office of the A. M. E. connection: "T doubt the wisdom of electing any man from rising for a conference next May. Collections have fallen off for the past two years, and we have lost heavily through the failure to market their cotton. A policy of rigid economy should be insisted upon until good times come again. We can get along very easily with the present staff of bishops, most of whom are in health and can stand a lot of work. Manager A. A. Brown in Town: Mr. Arthur A. Brown, manager of Brown's Lysceum Bureau, of Chicago, stopped over enroute from Charleston, W. Va., where he was called by the death of his father, Mr. Brown. He was many of his friends while here and held numerous business conferences looking after wife, Mime, Anita Rutti, Brown, the Bronze Tetrazazzini, who has won a warm place in the hearts of an Wash.-Indian and charming personality. If satisfactory arrangements can be made, it is possible to attend a special concert at the Howard Theater in this city prior to her departure for a long tour of America, including Panama, the Canal Zone and Central America, Mime. Brown may be assured of an ovation if she comes this year. Mr. Brown was shown many courtesies by managers A. J. Thomas and the Manager Lew W. Henry, director of the S. H. Dudley Theatrical Enterprises, Dr. C. Summer Wormley, the popular singer, Dr. H. F. Plummer, the druggist, and others. He inspected a number of colored people and expressed himself as agreeably surprised at the volume of business carried on by our people and the diversity of lines of commerce in which they are engaged. He gave a fine impression upon all with whom he came into contact by his commonsense discussion of public matters, modest demeanor and character in reserve. Besides directing the interests of his lyceum bureau and handling the tours of the fair diva, Mr. Brown is an efficient clerk of sixteen colleges in New York and United States Appraiser of Merchandise in Chicago, attached to the customs service, Treasury Department. Before leaving New York, Mr. Brown paid a visit to New York, Philadelphia and other eastern points. Mr. Cobb Passes Out of Office. Mr. Cobb Passes Out of Office. Mr. James A.

Mr. Cobb is about the holders who in these and other columns, were frequently referred to as "The Black Cabinet." "Organizer" Moore Takes up New York Prof. Charles H. Moore, national organizer of the National Negro Business League, and conceded to be the most difficult role, has begun operations as field agent for the new association that will support North Carolina for the development of the Negro schools in the rural districts of the state. The head of this highly credited organization, Dr. Durham, and he is backed by a commission made up of the sympathetic white educators and business men of the rural school system.

The association has up interest and getting actual results in rejuvenating the rural schools for Prof. Moore. During the vacation period, it probable that Prof. Moore will again position a position to resume his effective labor in the league of the National Negro Business League. The "Jitney" Bus Now a Common Carrier. The colored citizens of Washington are sharers in the victory by which the heretofore discriminating "jitney" buses have been declared common carriers and the regulations of the Public Utilities Commission and the general laws require that all buses be District. This means, for one thing, that the "jim-crow" policy will have to be abandoned, as there is no separate bus system. All buses have to accommodate the people—all the people—or go. The companies operating the little by-bight vehicles have not expected that they will thrive in this city. The colored citizens are well treated by the traction lines and the "jitney" with which they regulate "jitney" with any widespread regret. THE NEWS IN A NUTSHELL. Miss Estella C.

September is standing up nicely. We mean the month of September, and not September morn. Straw hats are struggling to hold their own, but they are retiring slowly at the approach of their ancient foe. The discontented Standard Oil Company employees not only demand more wages, they insist that the few Negro workmen go. And that's brotherhood that the poor men are always talking about. The Czar of Russia has taken charge of his armies. He expects to inject elixir into the fading hopes of his fighting forces. He comes on the scene a little late. The presence of rulers is sometimes a mighty inspiration. The Czar's presence may turn the tide to the extent of saving Petrograd. The Freeman's exposition number will be an effort to include the representative of the race, whether of men or affairs. It will come from the press during the holidays. It will be an addition to the festival of commemoration for achievements during the past fifty years of our existence as a freed people. Last Monday was big with events. Labor day, "War in Iraq" and the couple's wedding, the fair were the larger attractions, not to speak of the minor ones. Everything seems to have prospered. There was a greater attendance at the fair than last year, notwithstanding there were 20,000 persons who saw the war spectacle. Some one of supposed authority has given it out that the individual at torty should begin to reduce his bill-of-fare in the interest of his preservation. Our feeding, he says, has much to do with breakdowns at forty and up. Most of us, according to the advice, ought to live a very long time. Long on rations is not the rule, except with the comparatively few. How to get sufficient food to keep up the fires of energy is the more difficult thing. From all accounts the Negro exposition at Chicago is flourishing in all respects. This is very good news. It would have been a racial calamity if that great project had failed. We are a part of the great whole—all America—yet it is incumbent on us to keep the race in mind as something distinct and separate in a way, at least, until the emergence is so complete that racial endeavor finds that its work is as complete as it is possible to be. John Mitchell, Jr., and his Virginia lodge think that the Supreme Lodge of K. of P. at Columbus, Ohio, is guilty of contempt of court. At the Baltimore meeting, two years ago, the Virginia lodge was suspended for refusing to pay certain taxes. The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia ordered the Virginia lodge reinstated. At Columbus the supreme body of the lodge again voted to revoke the charter of the Virginia lodge. The Grand Lodge of that state was not represented at Columbus, consequently Mr. Mitchell and others think snap judgment has been taken on them. They will again go in court to have their status defined. Most of the leading thinkers of the race see nothing but the fitness of things in the move of the United States to look out for the prosperity of Haiti. A few have demurred, thinking of the thing of independence in the abstract. Such a condition can not be. Interdependence is a part of the successful scheme of independence. Dr. Booker T. Washington views it with the leading thought. A Negro nation that conducts itself as other nations is it, and knowing the history of the dark race, such a nation should be proud of the opportunity to make good. No Negro government is preferable to the kind presented by that country in the recent past. The friends of peace in their declarations at Chicago this week set forth many excellent reasons for maintaining our peaceful attitude. We think, however, they struck a rather discordant note when they said: "That the idea of America being invaded by a European army is prompted solely by the avarice of armament and munition makers." This may be a truth in part, but it is not the whole truth. Our country has been threatened with war ever since the European war began. And it is only by considerable ingenuity that we have stayed out of war. Nor is the country absolutely safe even at this time. The manufacturers, naturally enough, wish to sell their goods, but they have not spread the alarm of war. It is conceded by the leading men of the country that our standing army should be considerably increased. The general view is that the army should consist of about 200,000 men. Even this number does not compare with the many of the small powers of Europe, however, our isolated situation is our best defense. The country has seen that war can come not- withstanding we are peaceful and comparatively secure. Some one has suggested that the term of enlistment be short in order that many men in a reasonable time would have some knowledge of warfare. It's a fine suggestion. As long as there is possible strife between nations sound judgment declares in favor of some effort at preparedness. An efficient navy is especially obligatory. A colored choir which had been invited to Billy Sunday in his engendered work in a western city was told that it was not wanted. One of our publications grew very wroth over the event. Of course, there is much to be said of such a happening, but no more than can be said of the condition generally. There is not much true church affiliation anywhere, nor has there been at any time. The uglier feature in this case was that the choir was informed that it was not wanted after having been invited. Billy Sunday disclaims responsibility for the change of program. This shows, at least, that he has views on the duties of religious bodies. The question is a great big one, so big and so decidedly one way that it is best not to disturb it. What heaven ordains in the matter will not be known until the "end of time." In the interest of peaceful relations between the United States and Germany let us hope that the Hesperian struck a mine, and that the boat was not torpedoed as it was first thought. It is not reasonable to think Germany is playing in such important matters. The policy of that country, from what is understood, has been to warn vessels, giving sufficient time for saving lives. The recent negotiations between the two countries had it appear that Germany had abandoned its usual submarine warfare against boats of peaceful character. That is to say the usual policy of warning was surrendered in the interest of the better thing—the total abandonment of the warfare against merchant vessels. This extreme change of front was considered as a most happy termination of what promised to result so seriously. Why that country should now change back to the old order is difficult to understand. If it turns out that the Hesperian was not torpedoed the situation is at once cleared of doubt. ON COMMITTING A "BULL." Last week in "a glowing" description of Caesar crossing some river near Rome, which was considered "bad luck," we said the Tiber. After due consideration we have concluded that a "bull" was made. It should have been the Rubicon. If the error was discovered, no one has had the nerve to tell us about it, as they do about some other things sometimes, wherein they think we err. Caesar was marching against Pompey. It was held that to cross that stream which was enroute meant virtually a declaration of war against the republic. He came on just the same, and with what success all know. The point, however, was that a "bull" was committed, and the best times, do the same, although their head was thick full of knowledge. The history of Don Quixote, by Mancha, by Cervantes, who is very erudite and careful, although seemingly careless, an error of the kind crops in. He, or his editor, noting the same annotates the errata at the bottom of the page. Very often this kind of thing is seen. But good authors do not like to make a "bull." It is said that the Century dictionary offers quite a nice sum of money for any error found in that work. When is a mistake not a mistake? that is in the sense of an error that could be classified as ignorance. Can there be such a question, logically? We think so. Persons who do very much writing or speaking now and then get their facts mixed—mixed temporarily. This does not mean ignorance as the critic who casually observes is so likely to think. The writer or speaker may know the facts in the case, but for the moment he is non est, or off of his base, as it is sometimes so aptly put. He needs only to have his attention called to the error when he sees it at once, acknowledging the same generally by saying, "O, yes. I am so glad you called my attention to the mistake." And the thoughtful, right minded individual really means to thank one for the correction. Most every one has had that experience when talking. It is different when writing. Then there is no monitor nigh, with eagle eye, noting everything you say. This leads up to that very thoughtful educational recipe by Lord Bacon who said, reading makes a full man, but writing makes a careful man, or, perhaps, it was a ready man. They mean about the same thing in the instance. And nothing is truer. Good talkers who set nothing down on paper are often surprised at their poor showing when brought to the writing test. In speaking sound has much to do with the acceptability of a speech. The Negro preacher has always had the reputation for being an orator, and not without foundation. He had the gift of eloquence so far as the voice was concerned; and when the voice was used with fairly logical speech it made a great combination. But write that speech out, or that sermon, verbatim, oh, what a difference. "Bulls" go by default when making public addresses. We do not have in mind those well prepared to speak. The speeches of our leading men, those that are expected to appear before gatherings in the sense of leadership, are as careful as writers, since they can not afford to go before the country as uninformed men. If they sometimes err they feel it much keener than those who happen to catch on. This is true, we think, because it is the intelligence of the country always that is sizing a man up, and the speaker knows it. Many statesmen can not trust their speeches wholly to their own supervision. And this is reasonable. With many the thought is uppermost always when grammar and historical accuracy fly. Such men must have secretaries who pull them on the track again when they make a flop. The good secretary of these must be exceedingly prosey in temperament, cool as a surgeon, excising at the needful points without fear or favor. Between the two a "bull" is a rare thing. The extempore speaker keeps well to mind the difference to the main of history unless he is fresh from his books. The good proof reader on newspapers covers exposed points very often, but sometimes a "bull" runs the gamut of the whole business and roos soft free. THE FREEMAN.

BREEZE FROM BROADWAY. Musical Comedy Affair Is the Head Jine Act at the Olympic. The headline act at the Olympie theater in Lafayette square this week is a three scene bundle of musical and theatrical works, poses and it succeeds all the way through. The two audiences that saw it yesterday at the playhouse enjoyed the work and the comedy that played music and comedy that they unscored honors are shared by Frank Montgomery and Florence McClain.

Top Black Hussars Win Favor. Harrison Stewart at the Pekin Greeted by a big House. Labor Day strollers greeted Harrison Stewart with a big house last Monday and appeared in a new musical comedy titled "Two Boys From Home." If the plot was anything it served to introduce the star in bits of comedy that show-and to add to Stewart's cleverness Sam Galanes was the other fellow who came and pleasure awake. Beulah Brown again well placed and Viola Stewart was attractive in a singing number, Lawrence Shenault made a good husband, C. Hall was quite a surprise as a country sheriff and sang a song which was encored. Allie Smith was quite satisfied, A. Hall was a vendor, was good, and Will Selzer as the cop managed to make a showing. One of the features of the bill was the performance which was redemanded. Motion pictures of public places and the ball players were shown between the perforated window and the week. Manager Harry C. Jenkins who is doing nicely, introduced Mr. Friedlander, who is Harrison Stewart's friend, the future Wrestling matches are to be Friday night features. Harrison Stewart's personal drawing power proves that he is the most popular acclaimed artist in the future. Clean and his efforts at the Pekin should be liberally supported.

Mr. Mason made a flying trip to Kansas City, Mo., last week, a trip to Monroe to re-enforce his highest honor that conferred on man or Mason—a member of the United Supreme Council of the Mason fraternity the thirty-third degree of the Ancient re-cepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. The thirty-third degree was conferred on Mr. King Wednesday, September 16, 2014, at the Supreme Council of the Southern Jurisdiction. This degree places Mr. King in the ranks with Kings, Princes and Queens, and has ever reached such a high degree, it is connected with the following lodges: the Welcome House No. 4, Paul Chapter No. 4, Emanuel Commandery No. 57, Allah Temple of the Kansis City, the Consistory No. 4, and a member of the Supreme Council. Mr. King was able to receive and assume the obligation. I met Mr. King on his return from Kansis City, and he related of the high relationship was held by the people of that city and the significance in tone of the relationship was held by the people of the city and the significance in tone of the relationship and universally with whom he is now linked and associated.

Harry Dean, the colored African explorer, is writing a book on the "Negro war situation when he gave out the following statement. "We are now at war with Haiti through the presumptiveocratic administration. The so-called Negro group of the United tates has been a mild protest from them in spite of the fact that the world is being re-created, demonstrating the fundamental anaphtude for progressive thought." The Monogram theatres are not reported this week much to the regret of actors. Two acts disappointed at the Monogram Loyal Loyal Theater Kierl's sudden unexpected hostility to the press is a mistake which the actors have been accused of he cools off. The hiatts between Klein and Miller in managing the two little houses between musicians, actors and the press does not increase the success of the performers, hinders the success of the performers. Personally, I pay no attention to ignorance formeders think of my press work. Intelligent people know that my critics have built these people up and have been taught to be guided or self-conceited people who lack intelligence and don't know it. Be an awful blow! I fully review the situation in its heatheism next week. George A.

There comes a gentle voice to me, That opens my eyes to make me see That opens my eyes to make me see That figures never tell a lie. There comes a pressure to my mind, That tells me in a murmuring sigh That those who lag are left behind, That mental whispers never die. There comes a message from above, That tells us not to cut or kill, That we were born to live and see, That we were born to love and see, That we were born to suffer till STRAY SHOTS FROM CLEVELAND.

Rube Foster's Team Takes Double Header Labor Day—Petway Back in the Game—Lloyd and Gans SHOW WELL. (By Cary B. Lewis.) Chicago, Sept. 7—Mr. Foster told the team that he won the winning team at the end of the season and this was demonstrated by the fast and timely playing of the American Giants in the first game, with visitors won the first game, on Sunday, which was a drizzly day, but the boys came back on Lator Day and took the famous shortstop, came across with a timely two-base hit and McNair with a three-bagger. Lord Crawford was in the first game, the visitors scattered. He sent two men to the bench and allowed only two men to walk. He was ably supported, in fact, the team was first value of the Giants in the first game, and Whitworth and Petway were the batteries in the second. Petway was given many hands, it being his first game, and Whitworth found Whitworth in the first part of the game, but was saved by defeat from a fine running catch by McNair. The scores for both games were 4, 1 to 1, and the American Giants won.

Whitworth's errors lost the game on Sunday. It was the first he lost for some time. Brockman is still nervous at second. He has a hard position to fill and all in all he is doing nicely. Lloyd and Gans are in the game. Both are playing fine ball. They will go with the team on its western spin around the continent. Petway's arm is fast improving. He caught a magnificent game on Labor Day. His work refutes the saying that a ball player can't come back. There will be several more games at several games. The season closes and a big game the last of the season. Be there to give the home team a send off. Mr. Foster says that he will travel a longer distance than any team ever did to take a trip across the continent and that he will bring the blue ribbon back with him. Barker, the crack stick man, made two hits on the opening day with the St. Louis Giants. He is still reliable with the bat. He, too, will join the Giants on their western tour. The thousands of visitors who were in Chicago the past two weeks availed themselves of seeing the strong American Giants in action. Mr. Foster had friends here from all parts of the country. Lloyd is just as active at short as ever. He is one of the greatest hall players of the league. He has played for Lloyd and Gans, McNair, Hill and Frances, constitute the big five on the American Giants game. The fane have great confidence in Mr. Foster. He told them he was going to have a great team at the close of the season and his word came true. With the Giants, he would go up against any team in the country. ROUTE.

A will say to B: Let's go on the stage. Result, one rehearsal, as follows: "Now I will both enter with this chorus in 'two'; dance on second chorus; exit. At finish of chorus you go back and sing while I sing. Then do a line of talk; you exit; I sing and exit. Both enter and finish with chorus. (Note—The "line of talk" will be omitted the other night at the theater.)

Alex. Marks 546 Broadway, New York City IN THE FIELD OF SPORT. BY HAROLD C. MCGATH. BASE BALL CONTROVERSY—MAN-AGERS AT LOGGERHEADS. Rube Foster in a Pet—C. I. Taylor a Thorn in His Side. Ball clubs have won pennants with mediocre pitching, but never has their catcher ever won a championship. Where its catcher did not shine in some way or another. The best of a catcher's work is not its most sensational (By Billy Lewis.) Baseball people all over the country, white or colored, know in baseball. Foster is a baseball player with due consideration in now of the unhappy contensions he is now making. He may be that his recent mix-ups were incidental, and not a range of things he will be useful in shaping the fortunes of the colored contingent of the baseball world. Much credit is due Dube for bringing the colored contingent in charge of the project, and he likes to feel that the present prospects are due to him. He would be the overlord of the business and this would not be a job for him. There are now managers spinning up right and left, job collectors, and a walk of life this truth is very plain. The oncoming beings are going to get in, even if they have to do it as Germany takes a fort- Not long since great articles were seen in the papers by Foster and Tayler Giants and Jackson Giants, but in this city, Foster had much to say about what he had done for baseball, putting the penalty down on him, and he has done very much for the game, but he should have permitted some one else to push that penalty down on him, and appear that he was wholly right in his story about what happened at Federal park. The public would have been very much in doubt about what happened to the Cuban Stars in his club met the Cuban Stars there was another scene, where bricks played a very important part. It makes it appear that the Stars are in it, and seemingly because his haulers are in jeopardy, the Stars, writing to Mr. Taylor concerning the mixup with Rube's team in Chicago, said: "We have been treated really by the American Giants." Sometimes this kind of advertisement helps to draw the crowds. It's not that it does not have a little sledding help, but it is doubtful whether the kind of trouble the clubs have been having if the managers get to the point where they can make dates for plays, it is serious. Nat C. Strong, writing from New York, had this to buy: Aug. 20, 1915, Mr. C. I. Taylor, 446 N. West St., Indianapolis, Ind. I am looking in here the Freeman of August, where Rube Foster stated that he paid the transportation of all clubs that came west to this last season, in regard to this would be the last season. The Royal Giants, of which I was the owner, received a dollar for transportation, and we requested it, although it was offered to us. The entire expenses myself. The Giants never received a dollar transportation any time. In 1911 I advanced sixteen round-trip tickets from New York and transported them to America. The American Giants as requested by Mr. American, this to you to show that I am responsible for anything I may undertake or have and can always pay as I go along, which no one has from the many ball players with whom I have had dealings in the past. You may as well as you see fit, as I am simply telling the truth in making this statement. Very truly C. STRONG. We publish this to show how far the controversy has extended and how hard I have. The letter speaks for itself. I have offered one way I have or the other concerning CATCHER'S POSITION IS MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL. So Saye One Sport Writer, and He Gives His Reasons for This Opinion. What is the most important position in a baseball team? asked a question that has been answered in nine different ways. It is subject to for and in a measure all answers are correct. A matter of opinion, it is something that the maver will be settled in a satisfactory way. Sitting down the line, Alexander, Cobb, Smith, E. Collins, Bush, Baker, many others in going to pick the positions of the man and make his argument stick beneath the crossfire of counter-attacks. The most valuable man on a ball club burden is to be the man upon whom the whom is in the moment falls—up to immediate decision and action. The play first and act upon it most quickly—who must be in a position quickly—who cannot without delay, our entry, there to catch a one sport writer. In possession of whole half the time and with the must do of play in front of him, he has to carry and half its physical work. He has the ball in hand more than any him fails to besides the pitcher, upon action more than the burden of thought and action more than Ball clubs have won pennants with mediocre pitching, but never have there been any great team where its catcher did not line in way or another. The best of a catcher's work is not its most sensational features. It is not of necessity in the best of the greatest of catchers are great, not because they cut down the baserunners, but because they prevent baserunners from scoring. The hardest for the batter to hit safely. The good catcher has to steady his pitchers, put the batter, stalk the baserunner and stall the umpire all at one and the same time. Yes, if we had to pick the one star at the ball club, give us a phenom catcher as the nucleus for the winning club. WHAT'S DOING IN SPORT. Football enters about September 18.

Willard applies to the private car, which is attached to one of the regular show trains, and his wife travels with him.
