soon as possible. The quartermaster, j f r*a box,
I therefore, among other arrangements, ; actly six

ISlizabcth. to convey 120 of the men to

is a- I pears to have made no 1 ind of enquiry
as to the fitness of this small craft to
carry so many passangers, nor as to
possible contingencies in ease of over-
crowding or bad weather. He only
stipulated that the boat should take on
beard a supply of v.ater sufficient for
the voyage, which, in those days of
sailing ve?so's. might possibly take
several days. The vessel received her

were put on dack for their use. These
were naturally finished in a few hours.

I'reaideai Young of the National
league has under consideration a num-
ber of suggestions hearing upon the
umpire problem and league headquar-
ters have been Hooded with mail and
telegraphic correspondence on the sub-
ject fixjm various parts of the country.
The double umpire plan is proposed,
but "Uncle Nick" doesn't believe that
i i the remedy to prevent unnecessary
disputes over close decisions. The sus-
pension of players for two or moro
days for violation of tvie rules is also
suggested by Manager Hanlon of Bal-
timore. Tom Brown of Washington
and from other sources.
"I'ncle Nick" says the question is
one that requires due deliberation, and
it is futile to originate any plan unless
it has the Ironclad support of the
proprietors of the various clubs. He
cites an Incident to show how easily
the difficulty can be overcome if tho
magnates are sincere in their opposi-
tion to usicss kicking against the um-
pire. in a recent series between Bos-
ton and New York at Boston Mr. Soden,
tho president of the 3oston clnb,
called Captains Duffy and Joyce before
him jint prior to the startiug of the
first game. He called their attention
to the interest the Boston patrons take
in the national game and their desire
to see fair play win or lose. He added
that lar^e crowds of people would nat-
urally come out to witness the strug-
gle between New York and Boston, and
it would be a financial advantage to
thrown under this top piece on the up-
righ .-. I know it looks easy and without both clubs to have the games played
seeing it tried your would pretty nearly
swear that there are a half dozen
catchers who could do it. I have seen
it attempted and I know that it is next
to impossible. The ball 1 esn't look
on their merits, with as littl° kicking
against the umpire as possible. He
said the Boston club would not tolerate
useless kleking against the decisions

President Kerr of the Pittsburg club

much disc, uragement from the work of
