American and English Judges The London "Spectator" says our judges lack the standing and prestige that the English judges have, and that rich men dare not opeuly defy the law in England as tliey Uo in America, liicre is some truth in that. Success in money-making has overshadowed all other kinds of distinction in thisvountry iu the List forty years, and besides that, there is not the same reverence for official power and place in this country that there is in England.

Enirlaiid is still an aristoi. racy, where inferiors instinctively look up to their superiors, l'art of the prestige of the Hiifish judges is due to the habits of mind of the. population they help to rule. Our democratic communities will hardly be induced to regard with like awe thej judges who serve them, lifm-pvpr M-nrfliv fhev mm, lw rt highest respect. Or judges, as it is, unquestionably make themselves respected, but we think it is true that an American judge is not, relatively, as big a man as he was forty years ago.

Mcu are heard to say; "It doesn't take much timber now to make a judge." An able lawyer does not give up practice and accent even salary wliicn-tlic State ot Aow York pays to its Supreme Court tices vithout usually a sacrifice of income.

In his letter Mr. YVolverton says that he was moved to make public his version of the relations between hint aud Manager Duffy because he was charged with, being a and he did l.ot wish to leave Philadelphia and go to Boston with that charge undenied. The pith of YVolverlon's statement is contained in the following: "While playing in Boston I sustained broken finger.

I was out of the game only a few days when Manager Duffy circulated the report that I was 'loafing' on the club. This charge was unjust as lie knew that not only was the finger broken, but that the X-rays had shown it to be badly crushed. "Before the bone had properly knit Manager Duffy ordered me to report for duty at Pittsburg, which I did against the advice of my physician. I was not able to do more than light practice for four days after I joined the club. "We went from Pittsburg to Chicago, where I re-entered the pune.

The day previous Manager Duffy left Chicago, and in his absence, not knowing of anv other arrangements having been made, I resumed the captaincy of the club. After this series we went to St. Louis, where Gleason, in the presence of Mr. stated that Manager Duffy had appointed him captain of the club until we would reach Boston, where Man. ager Duffy was to rejoin us.

For harmony's sake I resigned the position in favor of Mr. Gleason.

Twenty-one head of horned cattle, twelve mules, a horse and a bog were burned to death SOUTHERN TRIPS OF TEAMS Spring Training Camps of American and National League Clubs The baseball magnates are already beginning to see ahead oi the winter and are fast completing plans for the Southern trips of their clubs. The preliminary work has already been one of the biggest items of expense iu connection with the national game. It has been recognized as prime necessity in the strenuous tight for pennants. The owners who in previous years tried to condition teams iu the north found cause for regret before the season had progressed very far.

Alabama and Georgia will, as usual, secure the bulk of the teams in both the National and American Leagues, while the more pretentious minor leagues will also be well represented in nearly all the States south of the Mason and Dixon line. By April 1 it is probable that nearly 400 players be scattered through the south, from Florida and Georgia on the east to-California on the west. The Golden Gate, from present appearances, will attract only one team the Chicago Nationals while Texas has been selected by the two St. Louis clubs as being the most satisfactory State iu which to prepare for the struggle of 190o.

SPRING SERIES ARRANGED Nine Games Will Be Played, Starting April 1 is assured of a series of games between tne Aiiiieika uuu ium- this spring. President Shettsline, of the Philadelphia club, and President Shibe and Manager Mack, representing the Athletics, met in the offices the Philadelphia club, in the Real Estate Trust Building, yesterday afternoon, ar-tanaed a scries of nine games. The first game will be played Saturday, April 1. At yesterday's conference it was not decided on which grounds the first contest would take place, this question being left for future decision. As a matter of fact, it may not be decided until the last moment, as the comparative con-uition of the fields of the two parks may be the determining factor where the first intercity game is played.

The question of umpires was left for future decision. The officials of the two clubs were not ready to select a man or men for this duty at this early date, so allow this question to go over for future agreement. It may be that the double vmpire system will be used, although nothing definite was reached concerning this point. Tlie series between the Phillies and Athletics last year aroused unusual ante-season interest, and in view of the new faces that will be seen on both teams this year and the fact that both will spend about a month in the South in preliminary work, there will be a popular desire to see the men play before the regular championship season opens. Hockey Match The High School and Paxtang hockey teams will play a match game of hockey this afternoon on the pond at Island Park.

The teams have been rivals for several years and an exciting time is looked for between the two teams. Basketball At Middletown The Middletown A. A. basketball five defeated the Lebanon Y. M.

What will be his next move is hard to tell, but the chances are that before the season opens Connie will use a number of other means to secure Joe, as he is without doubt the most promising youngster that has entered the ranks of either of the big leagues in the last few veaig.
