With Barrett and Corcoran on second and first respectively, Nichols' had thrae balls on Beckley, when he cut the plate with a straight one. Before the ball reached the plate Jack threw down his bat and started for first as if he had gained a base on balls.

Puck. James Franklin, owner of the Buffa-o base ball club is what Is known as a "character" in that city.

When it comes to "irons In the Ire," Franklin has his grate full.

Within the next tew days in Washington, D. there via be erected in his memory a statue, the work of a celebrated Italian sculptor, which will be the second to mark a decided departure from the war and navy heroes which adorn every accessible corner and square of the city. The first representation or a private citizen was that of Daniel Webster, also by the same sculptor. The new work will stand at the In tersection of two streets and one square from the Supreme Council Building, where Gen.

Pike will be represented in bronze, colossal in size. The pose is extremely life-like and represents the great Free Mason standing addressing the people with one hand uplifted anil a book of his own poems in the other. On the pedestal, which is twenty feet high and of the finest granite, sits a colossal allegorical figure representing Masonry spreading the Scottish Rite banner to the world. EARLY EDUCATION. Observing Educators Say Precocity Should be Checked.

Scientists in Washington have concluded that children are sent to school too soon. It is beginning to be thought that schooling may perhaps be started too early for the health and welfare of the little ones and this idea seems plausible when it Is considered that infants of six years are compelled to seek book, learning at the public cost in the District of Columbia and in Wyoming, while meve prattlers of 4 are allowed to take advantage of educational opportunities In Connecticut, Wisconsin and Oregon, if their parents so desire. In thirteen other states of the Unlan, including Pennsylvania, the minimum age of voluntary attendance is 6 years. Light Is thrown upon this Interesting subject by a study of the growth and development of the mind organ in children. In this line tlie most important work has been done by Dr.

W. W. Johnson, a distin guished physician of Washington, who calls attention to the fact that the human brain attains practically its full weight when the individual Is only about 8 years age. At birth the brain weighs approximately a pound, but its development is so rapid that at the end of the first year It would tip the scales at 2 pounds. At 4 years it has reached nearly 3 pounds, but from that time on its growth is comparatively slow At talning to what is to all intents and purposes its full size at 8 years, it does not alter appreciably after 12 years, and after 24 years it begins to diminish slowly but steadily in avoir dupois.

These facts, obviously, have a very important bearing upon questions of school training. So far as brain development is concerned, the first eight years are by far the most important of a child's life; the main growth of the organ takes place dur ing that period. It is evident that the stature attained eventually by the mind depends largely upon the perfection of brain-growth during this epoch. Dr. Johnson urges that education ought not to begin during this period of brain-growth, and that children that are sent to school before they are 8 years of age are threatened with serious injury.

Also, he contends, in view of the facts above stated regarding brain development instruction during the first years should not be too exacting or too stimulating. Precocity ought to be checked, furthermore, and not fostered. The Commercial Idea. The higher commercial idea in collegiate education is spreading. A bulletin of the university of Michiganjust issued, gives the program of study in the department of history, including constitutional law and politics, political economy and finance, sociology and statistics, international law, administrative and municipal law, general and commercial law.

and Roman law and Roman institutions. The special courses in higher commercial education and public administration are ap parently modeled upon the same lines those laid out by the trustees of Dartmouth College for the same department, made possible by the gen erous benefaction of Mr. Edward Tuck. The purpose is to give a scientific training in the structure and organization modern industry and commerce so to enable students quickly to mas ter the technique of a business Bret with two out Pitcher Scott caught Doyle with a big lead off first, and as the pitcher threw the ball to Beckley Doyle broke for second. Beck- ley threw to Corcoran at second, who tagged Doyle as he ran into the base.

Doyle deliberately walked over to tie after being called out, pulled him around and finally knocked him down. He. then attempted to kick him, but Emslie held his legs and Doyle fell on top of him. They rolled on the ground for some time before Corcoran, Qulnn and Steinfeldt could reach them, when the enraged Giant was pulled oft the prostrate official. The crowd roared angrily for Doyle's arrest.

He was Immediately arrested and taken to the police station. At the conclusion of the eame Emslle. too, was arrested, Emslie had refused to prosecute Doyli and he was arrested, this being the only way the police could reach Doyle. Both were charged with disorderly con duct Treasurer Ashley Lloyd, of th local club, went on the bonds of the two men. It would not be at all sur prising if the league will take stringent action in Doyle's case, as this is his second offense, he having assaulted Lynch in Boston a few years ago, After being released on bond, Judge Lueders was communicated with and after some persuasion, he allowed Doyle to proceed on his way with the team, providing he would put in written plea of guilty.

This both Doyle and Emslie did, and that virtually set tles the matter. President Hickey Criticised. President Hickey of the Western League has rewarded rodyism and an archy, says Sporting News. Instead of punishing the club or clubs which were responsible for the fiasco at Des Moines he has declared the last series between Sioux City and Des Moines in the latter city no contests and ordered the games played over. This will give these clubs additional opportunities to increase their earnings and thus en able them to profit by rebellion.

The Sioux City club refused to play If the regular umpire ofllclated and the two clubs selected the ofllcial. If the Des Moines-Sioux City series was tainted how about the St. Joe-Omaha games in St Joe. where the Western League president resides? The Western League's prosperity and permanency are threatened by rowdyism, and President Hickey must move quickly or the organization which intrusted its welfare to him will not deserve to last the season out. The umpires of the Western League have been treated in a ruffianly way by managers and players'.

Traffley resigned rather than stand the abuse and indignities he was subjected to and Mauck and Ebright are ready to retire. There is no In centive for an umpire to do good work when his decisions are not respected and his motives questioned many times during every game in which he officiates. Mr. Hickey should resign or assert his authority to protect the um pires. THE HOME-RUN KING.

The champion home-run hitter of the National League last season was John Freeman, or "Bucky," as he is known. now a member of the Boston team, but who last year wore a Washington uniform. Freeman is 28 years old, During his early basse gall career he was a pitcher. He played for a short time in 1891 on the Washington American Association team and in 1892 played outfield on the Troy nine, of the Eastern League. The following year he.

was with Wilkesbarre and In 1894 played with the Haverhill (Mass.) club, leading the New England League in batting with .390. He made no less than 36 home runs that year and in one game rolled up the highest total of base hits ever made by a ball player 20. It represented four four-base hits, a triple and a single. He started the season of '95 with Detroit, but soon went to Toronto, where he played until the close of the season of 1898, when he joined the Washlng- JOHN FREEMAN. tons of the National League.

In 29 games he had a batting average of .368, which put him second on the list He remained with Washington last season, batting .318., He led the league in home runs with 26 to his credit, and also had 26 triples. He was sold by Washington to Boston last winter, and has been filling Hugh Duffy's place for some time in right field. "End Justine Means." It matters little what you do in base ball, so long as you get away with it Proper plays are sometimes hissed hen they fall to bring about the de-ilred result, while stupid plays art tpplauded and the players who make them given credit for head work. The ipectators only look for results in base ball. For instance, In the ninth inning, Jake Beckley might have caused llsaster and effectually checked the a be so.

Chicago Tribune, WW advance to third and second respectively. Terry called it a strike, and Sullivan, Instead of making an effort to catch Barrett at third, held the Ball and Barrett and Corcoran had to be credited with a double steal, which was really not intended.

An experi enced catcher would, in all probability, have nailed Barrett at third, for he did not have an exceptionally good lead, and the Reds' chances for victory would have been decidedly slim. That play did much to win the Reds the game. Beckley was given credit for having made a heady play, and the fact that Sullivan made a very stupid one was entirely overlooked. Cincinnati Tribune. PITCHER KITSON OF BROOKLYN Frank R.

Kitson, one of the pitchers of the Brooklyn club, was purchased FRANK R. KITSON. by the Baltimore club towards the close of the season of 1897 from the Burlington club of the Western asso ciation. He remained with the Orioles until the circuit's reduction.when Manager Hanlon transferred him to the champion Brooklyns. Kitson is not as effective so far this season as he counted on being, but Hanlon, who has great confidence In him expects him to contribute a great deal to the Su-perbas' success.

He has developed into a reliable emergency batsman and if frequently sent to the bat at a critical stage of the game. He has proved the right man in a pinch on several notable occasions in the present race. Hie fine single in the ninth inning enabled his team to pull a game out of the fire on its first 1900 trip to this city. With the bases filled and none out in the eighth inning of the Fourth of July game at St. Louis, 'Hanlon substituted Kitson for Kennedy.

He was hit safe ly only once, two runs resulting and long fly allowing another. He shut St. Louis out in the last Inning. Will Stick to One Umpire. The National League will stick tc the single umpire system this season.

It is doubtful If any improvement would result if the force were increas ed. The real reason why the umpiring is unsatisfactory is that the officials do not enforce discipline, and the pres ident of the League and its supervisor of umpires and players do not require them to do their duty or uphold them when they do enforce the laws of the game. The sporting mews is lniormea by one of the major league magnates that he and the majority of his associates have come to the conclusion that the salaries of additional umpires would be so much money wasted. The sentiments of the club owners whe hold this view are embodied in the statement made by President Hart oi the Chicago club to Ren Mulford, of the Cincinnati Post: "No one realizes more than I do the need of a backbone to the administration of league affairs. I am so sick oi President N.

E. Young that the men tion of his name gives me nausea. Whatever the shortcomings of the league prove to be in 1900 I think they can be attributed to one man. Not content with one nonenlty, the league had to saddle another fossil on the game John B. Day.

Young and Day make administration of league law a burlesque. Bight of Reservation. According to report President Hart of the Chicago club, will father legisla tion which will place a time limit on the right of reservation. He holds that club should not have the exclusive control of a player for a longer term of three years, or five at moat Under present conditions, a player can be car ried on a club's reserve list, until the day of his death. There is no doubt that if a change of clubs could -be effected after a Bervice of five years in a city, the player would be benefited as well as the club from and to which he goes.

Only an evening or so igo he championed a bill to permit Sunday amateur base ball within the limits, and came out victorious. He is a base ball magnate of a num-er of years' standing, and in this msiness has always been "dead game." He likes to see his team win not that winning team means more revenue, but simply that he hates to lose.

As "hard lOBer" Watklns is not in Franklin's class. It is by reason of this that he frequently meddles with Ms manager, to the detriment of the Juffalo team. Should, the Buffalo team fose a half-dozen straight games no matter what the excuse might be Manager Shannon's head would like ly roll in the basket and a largely new team make its appearance at Olympic Park. Mr. Franklin owns a big butcher shoo, and freauently dons a white apron and cuts off steaks and chops, He is theoretical in none of his ven tures.

One of the leading cigar stores on Main street has the firm name of "Franklin Rowe" on the sign. The Franklin Is the foregoing James, and the Rowe is Jack Rowe, the famous old Detroit short stop and member of the world-renowned Infield of Brouth- ers, Richardson, Rowe and White, Rowe was associated with Franklin In base ball a number of years. These are not all of Franklin's ven tures. He owns and manages the Wonderland," one of Buffalo's amuse ment houses. Then, too, he is presi dent of the Buffalo society of "Eagles, the recently formed organization that has for its object the protection swd Insurance of sportsmen in the various fields.

Franklin is not a wealthy man, but he is far from poor. He has made and lost a great deal of money. His friends say he would rather lose money on all. his other ventures and make something out of base ball than to lose at base ball and gain at everything else. Buffalonians say a winning team in that city would "make a barrel" of money.

The "barrel" will not be made with the present team: it hasn't the pitchers. It may be too early to judge, but so far the Bison boxmen undoubt edly look too weak to stand the Am erican League pace. There is deep ap prehension here regarding the pitch ers. Maher Wine la One Round. Peter Maher knocked out "Steve' O'Donnell in the first round of what was to have been a twenty-five round bout at the Broadway Athletic Club.

The bout lasted only one minute and forty-eight seconds. In that time O'Donnell was knocked down three times. Maher at the outset cornered O'Donnell and dazed him with a rap on the jaw. O'Donnell clinched. After breaking Maher rushed and sent his man down like a log.

He scrambled to his feet, and as he put up his hands he got a swing on the neck and fell on his back. He arose slowly, and Maher rushed at him and smiled as he whip ped a right to the jaw. O'Donnell stag gered, and as he was falling Maher landed on him again. The referee stop ped further proceedings and awarded the fight to Maher. JOCKEY REIFF.

Thirteen-year-old "Johnny" Reiff has created a sensation "across the pond" by his constant good form in the races he has ridden. His rattling finish in the race for the Royal Hunt cup, when he won by a head from Cannon, convinced the most skeptical that he has the ability to control his mounts. He is now earning $5,000 annually, and has offers from every prominent English owner. He received $500 for his ride on Royal Flush, and his riding in France Sunday secured him 1,000. He said a few days JOHNNY REIFF.

Fitsslmmons Is Criticised. Bob Fitzsimmons, the erstwhile champion, is coming in for a most severs criticism by all who follow pugilistic events closely.

Accordingly the fight was declared off, and the Akron giant In the most sportsmanlike why in to world said that if DUFFY AT PARIS. America is well represented at the great English and Paris athletic games by forty as fine athletes as ever trod a cinder path.

About all of them have sailed for the other side and if they do not carry away the majority of the prizes in the events in which they contest many will be far off In their cal culations. The representation from this country includes the holders of many world's records. The principal stai and main dependence of the American team is Alvin C. Kraenzlein of Penn; sylvania, one of the greatest athletes ARTHUR DUFFY. SPRINTER, that America has ever produced.

He holds no less than seven world's records and it is confidently believed that he will capture three events abroad, with a possibility of carrying off six. Arthur F. Duffy of Georgetown university, it is expected, will do do some great work in the sprints. He has been such men as Wefers, Kraenzlein and Tewkesbury and can do 100 yards in 9 4-5 seconds, which is record time. He holds the record for the 60-yard dash.

He has already captured the best, prizes In the English tournament Santry and Gardner. Eddie Santry scored a pronounced victory on points over Oscar Gardner in their twenty-round fight at Kansas City. Kansas City's great convention hall had scarcely been emptied of delegates to the Democratic national convention" before a force of carpenters began the erection of a ring for the prize fight tournament of the evening The ring was built on the spot where six hours before leaders of the nation's Democracy had addressed assembled thousands. The hall held several thousand, spectators, many oi whom were convention delegates. The two men entered the ring at 11 o'clock and both received cheers.

The men appeared in good form, and there was no delay in getting down to work George Siler, the veteran referee, officiated. Throughout the contest wai fast and satisfied the crowd. In th( first few rounds there was easy sparring. Gardner receiving a slight cut over the right eye, which bled badly but was not serious. About the middle of the fight Gardner's left eye was bruised.

Santry did not have a scratch when the fight ended. Sharkey and Jeffries. There seems little chance of getting Tom Sharkey and Jim Jeffries together, especially since Sharkey's defeat bj Gus Ruhlin of Ohio, Tuesday night Friends of Sharkey say that he it afraid to fight the champion. Sharkej has not lost a chance to attack or tc criticise Jeffries since Jeffries defeated him, but he seems to have a whole some fear of the big fellow and his manager, Tom O'Rourke, has given uj all hope of making a match between the two. It was said that Sharkey feared to go Into the ring when hi fought Jeffries and had to be coaxed.

He denied the story, but his action is avoiding a match makes many believe that it was so. Other Sporting Matters.
