The base'iall scoson of 1890 promises to bo m-oro successful than for several years. This IB no : said loci's-j Itj tbf thins UMIally said at the beginning of n tiouson. H IH based on a cartful study of the sit- ua'.lon. T'lbllc Interest In the Jport Is much more general than It was a year ago. Then only bn o bull men were talking bnso ball. Now one hears H dlBcussed everywhere In public plnccs. It Is claimed thnt professional base ball Is losing Us hold on the Amerhvin people. I do not -believe - that thlx Is true , but It cortalnly It true that Interest In the sport has docllnei ) , at least In several cities. This Is duo partly to the bad liohnvlor which has been nllowcd on some of the league grounds ; end partly to the fact thnt the club. ! In Borne of the largest cities have been nllowcd to decline. \n .Mori * I'rofniilty n < 'iiiiniM , There Is to bo n concerted attempt on the part of managers nnd league owners during thn coining Reason to Improve this state ot they may still be able to make a good showIng - Ing this cacon. I.nst urn mm the two Grralcr New York trams finished in llio second division. U was felt tlml New York nhotild make n bet ter ttiowlnri. The work of building up a Btrong team require * several seasons , nnd therefore the llalilmoro club , which had come lo b ono of the leading teams In the country , wtis transferred to Urooklyn. For the sanio reason It was felt that a better team should bo put Into St. I.ouls. THoae changm nro believed to bo for the good of the Rame , taking the needs and prmslblll- tles of the whole country Into consideration. Aside front these transfers there will bo few Important changes In the personnel of the different clubs. The lloston team , which has for the pnst two seasons carried off the championship , remains practically the same at last year. Its players nro well seasoned , to be depended upon nnd piny together. Individual and star playing Is well enough nnd pleases the grand stand , but to Insure success a loam must work together. The patron's cry to "lino It out" Is n strong Incentive to player to make a hit In a double sense , but n bunt or sacrifice Is often prolific of bolter results than a vicious attempt to knock the ball over the fcnco. U IH the thorough utility nnd good Held management ot the Ilostons , nnd the snnio may bo said of the Hnltlmoro team. Hint have cnnabled these teams to retain first nnd second plates for nevcral successive sea sons. The Hostons' pitching staff , ono of the best In the league , will remain the same us last year , with Kid Nichols as ( ho par ticular star. In Tonney , I.owo , Collins and Long the Inllold will pro.c n strong wall. Of the old Baltimore team Roblnsun nnd McOraw will remain In the homn city. To Now York. Delahanty. Philadelphia , led In fcnje dealing , and IMtrhey , Louisville , In , sacrifice hits. There -were a number ff j 1 other pltxjers .who were n close second , nnd any one of them may Jump to the front lu hl department this season- The branch of the game In which the public probably taVcs the most Intercut la In balling ; n good baiting contest Is a delight lo the faithful rooters' hearts. A plan has been discussed , and will probably b carried out , which will tend to increase this feature of the game. It Is the purpcne to furnish a special ball lo be used In the leriRuo games ; a ball which will contain a greater percentage of rubber than these heretofore in use. The result is obvious , and the patrolin of base 'ball ' may look for more work on llio part of the fielders. Another rule baa been adopted to prevent a waste ot time and shorten the games. The pitcher iwlll not bo allowed to make a feint to throw to a base ; the million to Ihrow must bo followed -by the actual delivery of the ball lo the baseman. This will doubt less Incronno the base stealing record. Another rule , which applies to the catcher , will 'bo ' enforced this season. Ho cannot , < is heretofore , step In front of the bailer lo secure a ( bunted 'ball ' , 'but ' must remain In hlu position behind the home plate. Last season's experience taught the ad visability of separating the players from the patrons In the grand stand. Too much op- porlunlly for conversation between the two has often led to disorder. This season the players' benches will ibe far enough nwny from the stand lo obviate this evil. Cluiiiui'N III ( lit * t'nililri ' * S > Mltin.

The bnso ball public will not pa- Ironlzp ganji'.s Hkoly lo b marred by rowdy conduct on the part "of "players or Hpectators. The 13rush nntl-profanlly rule , adopted lost' | year , was Intended to suppress such out- ibreakH. This season Its scope has been ex tended to Include disrespectful language nnd fictions whether used toward a player , club , official , umpire or spectator. Any player who violates the act may bo suspended , nftor n hearing before the Hoard of Direct ors , and may also bo subjected to a line of $200 or less ns the bonrd sees lit. This rule , rigidly enforced , should do away effect ually with what Is known as rawdy base 'ball. ' The men who have followed the fortunes of base ball nnd who are familiar with the requirements of the game know tbut the public goes to base ball contests to nee tbo game plnyed and not to listen to wrangling among the players and oin- clnl.s. 'Another ' chance Is In the improvement In the position of the umpire. A superin tendent of umpires has been provided , to have charge of this department. It has also been decided that the umpire shall wear a suitable uniform on the Held. This Is n minor matter , but It Is Intended to give the umplro recognition as an nnthorl/ed ofllclnl nnd to help him to n better enforcement of his rights and duties. 111-roc-4 of Hit * Diamond. There are base ball men who nro great fn.- 'vorllea with Iho public. These may nol be star players , 'but ' every team wants them ; the rooters center their enthusiasm about the particular favorite. When ho goes to the bat there Is a howl ; ho may make a play in the field , of no great merit , but It la ilio cause of a wave of enthusiasm. After n game the crowd surrounds him nnd ho walks to the club houoo the center of an admiring throng. As n. rule these players go their wny , nnd , nlthongh proud of the good will of the pub lic , do not get the "big head. " Such n one IH Anson , the old war horse of base ball. The old man has probibly trained moro play ers than nny other live men who hnvo cap- tnlnod or managed n team. Ills nppenr- nnco on the field was always a signal for n round of applause. When ho stepped to Iho plato there 'was n volley from the grand slnnd and bleachers , and Anaon usually re sponded 'by u hit. His days of base ball are passing , but even now when Anson walks Into 'tho ' grounds the crowd crane their necks to get a view of him. Davis Is another favorite , so Is ( ileason , whoso grandstand plays set tbo croud wild. I'Miilo Ilurko used to own the left Hold bleachers ; the old Hurkvlllo of a few years ago is remembered by every ono who vis ited the polo grounds. HobliiHon of HiiHInioro Is another grent favorite with the rooters , ns nro Jennings , Mlko Orlllln , Van Hnltren , Tlernan nnd n Bcoro of others. Since Anson stepped down , Tlernnn Is looked upon us the old regular of the giuiu' . The pltdiora have great opportunity to become favorites with the public. A strike out -when the bases are full , nnd two men 1 out , Is a euro passport Into the good graces 1 of tbo crowd. lUudo occupies n pinnacle which ho has earned by glltedged ball play ing.

( 'llllllKtN 111 IllO CIllllH. Tha principal ohango in the status ot the various clubs this season comes from the transfer , almost bodily , of the Ilnltlmorn and Cleveland clubs to Drooklyn nnd St. I-ouls , Tha principal object of this muvo Is to strenglhen the two latter cities which nro recognized ns good ball towns , llaltlmoro and Cleveland , on the other bund , have never been very profitable base ball cities i , but with the players that they retain and I acquired from Urooklyu nud su Louis these will bo ndded some of the Drooklyn players of last season. With a winning team tho'Unltlmoro I patronage has been small c6m- pared with some ot the other centers of the national game. If this fcprlng proves that a team cannot bo made to pay on the homo grounds arrangements may be made whereby the Daltlmoro team will play their home games at some place whcro the patronage will satisfy the management. Itrookl ; II'M 'IViim. The Brooklyn team of 1839 will be a hard aggregation to beat out. It will contain probably moro star players than any other nine In Iho league and great results are looked ifor. There is no denying it , the patrons of the game In Greater New York are tired of being represented by two teams which made no betler showing than did the Drooklyns nnd New Yorks last year. They want n. . team whleh will piny good , snappy base 'ball. ' A base 'ball ' enthusiast said to me the other day : "Hulldlng up the Urooklyn team will bo sure to boom the game in this part of the country. Wliat iwe want is a team wo can bo proud of ; ono wo can do Bomo yelling over. If the boys are 'beaten ' at tbo finish wo want to have the satlsfac- tlon cf knowing that the other fellows had to hustle to do It. I have 'been a regular attendant at the I'olo grounds , but I nm of a mind , nnd there are thousands just like me , to go over to Drooklyn If the New Yorks glvo us another simple like last year. What wo want Is a winning team to represent the Greater New York. " 'IVlllllH ( if OtlKT CUICH. The Now Yorks will remain the same ns last year ami they can put up a first class game cf ball , something which will -bo hard to beat. George Davis will occupy his old position at bhortstop , nnd every ono knows the-place he holds in the hearts ot the pub lic ; they have n strong infield , their pitch ing department Is among the best In the i league ; so with the watchers nnd outfield. Many of the players lire stars Van Hnltren , Tlernan , Doyle , Olcason , Warner and others. With two winning teams In Greater New York things will hum. Chicago and Philadelphia will remain about the amo as last year , with possibly a 'fow ' exceptions and , I Uilnk , they 'may bo depended upon to put up a atreng game. Cincinnati will also go onto the diamond with tho'game team as last season. It would bo hard to beat the pitching _ department - partment nnd the men 'behind ' It can give i a gllt-edgo ample ofbaso ball. Cleveland nnd St. Louis will 'bo ' consider ably bhaken up. probably with first-class re sults. IMttiburg will retain the same plnyors.as Inst year nnd the real of the teams .will 1 hear from them. Washington nnd Louis ville bid fair to make an Improvement over la t year. There are some star players i among tlu-lr men nnd they should make n good bhonlng. A team r-f star -players does nol ncccs- earily make a winning team , but the prra- once on the Held of ono or moro record I champions goes 'f.tr ' to attract the public. for instance , a team compreed of men who | have led lu ono or moro departments will be a drawing card. The new IJrooklyn team will contain men \Vlia atood at the top last eoason , Kecler. who held the batting record I for 1V.IS , will occupy a position In the field I and the patrons of the game will 'be anxious to < ? eo If a change of climate will affect work nt the 'bat. ' Slur I'lnj < of tlu * I.eiiKiu * . U may 1 > o a dllllcult matter to pick out the star a In the league ; each club has a few. Of the t-hi/Kstt-ps Davis , hong and Jennings will probably have Jtttle dlfllculty 1n main taining their standing with the public. I/asi ccason ( he following men stood at the bond of the 'record in their relative pod- lion nnd they will this year -bo pretty equally dUtrtbutod among the leading clubs : First Ibase , Berkley , Cincinnati , second 1 ' base , Rcltz , Washington third 'base ' , Wal- lace , Cleveland , shortstop , Jennings , Haiti- moro , left field , Kelly , H-iltlmoro center | field , Grllllp , Cleveland , right field , Tlernan , vated. The appointment of nn efficient staff of umpires will go far toward ptovuiitliis t.iu amio'ylng delays and breaches of dlbclplino to which the patrons of the1 sport had ob jected in the past. The schedule for this year eonlalns 151 games for cnch club Ihe same as last sea son. Tills will make the season extend from April 15 to October 1C. Each club will make four 'trips ' and play fourteen games wlff every other club. There has been talk of dropping various clubs and the reduction of the circuit to elg'ht ' teams. The league season will begin with twelve clubs as heretofore , but there may bo changes before the end. All depends on the course of affairs during the spring and early summer. The advocates of the elghit-olub league say that there are enough playws to make up eight teams that would have the hottest kind of n fight for each season's honors , but that there nro not enough for twelve good clubs. Of course n crack base ball player cannot bo made to order. Ho Is partly the result of training , but jnoro largely of a combination of quickness , n euro eye and good judgment. These nro Iho essentials of a successful baseball * ball player whatever his position , and par ticularly in the batting department of the game. Tlio minor leagues nnd college teams , from which reinforcements are chlelly drawn , have not contributed ns many men to tJio big teams In the last two or three Reasons na they did for some time before. Consequently there Is the cry of n dearth of base ball talent. If it i/roves to be well founded the reduction In the number of major league cluba seems likely to occur , ii3 It will bo moro profitable and Intel estlng I to hnvo eight star clubs in the elghl largest j I cities than twelve mediocre teams In n larger territory.

A feature of Oils Is the breeding oven where bacteria are developed In suarmlnt ; millions. Dr. Hleder has been for months past subjecting all these to HopntRcn rays from nn apparatus like the out ; at the Wies baden congress. Then he waited to sec what would happen. "How do you expose the 'bacteria to the rays ? " I asked. "I spread a. thin layer on the bottom of ono of these glass saucers wo call them j Pc/lrl bowls. Then I place the bawl , properly - I erly covered , under the tube , about ten cen timeters from the anti-cathode source. I continue the exposure from hnlf nn hour to three hours. Then I make a test to see If the bacteria are dead. " "How do you determine that ? " "I place some of the exposed ibncterla In a Ibowl of fresh ngar , put this in the breeding oven for twenty-four hours , nt a tempera ture of 37 Celsius , nnd see If a now colony has developed.

As Dr. Schiff was kind enough to receive mo on several occasions during my stay in Vienna , nnd to furnish mo with full information about his experi ments with the Roentgen rays , I nm able to put these down In the order ot their occurrence. Two years ago Dr. Schlff's attention was called to n report in nn American news paper that n man had become suddenly bald after working much with the Roentgen rays. Shortly after this there was brought to the doctor a little girl 4 years old , whoso back was covered with a thick growth of hair. Her parents were disturbed , and urged tbat something be done to get rid of the hair. Recalling the American "case , Dr. Schiff suggested to his assistant that ho try the Roentgen rays. So Dr. Frcund ( brought the girl to the I'hotoKrnphlscho Versuchsaushalt , where was the best Roent gen ray apparatus in Vienna , and arranged to put his patient under the rays for nn hour or more each day. After a few weeks ho had the satisfaction to sec that the child was shedding the hair on her hack by hand- fuls. In the end It nil cnmo out , and the parents were overjoyed. "Did not the hair grow ngnln ? " I asked Dr. Sthlff. "Yes , " he said ; "after n few mouths it began to grow again , but a second treat ment with the rays drove It away again. In other cases I have found that after three or four treatments , each shorter than the TOEATINo'cONSl'Ml'TION 1JY 11 iK I'SB OK ROENTGEN'S X-RAYS. Dr. Rleder then showed mo a number of plates that had ( been spread with bacteria culture , then placed under lead covers , In which squares or circles at letters had been cut. When exposed the lead stops the Roentgen raje , which reach only the por- tlont * "beneath " the openings. Examination showed that nil , or nearly nil , the clusters ot 'bacteria ' had disappeared , where the raya had fallen , whllo the bacteria colonies over the rest of the plate remained undisturbed. Looking at Ihcso plates carefully I called the doctor's attention to the fnct tliat tbero still remained a few bacteria whcro the raya had fallen. "True ! " ho said' . "Out tjieso would dis appear with loijgor expcsure. I nm not sorry to have a few loft , since their pres ence proves It Is not from any chemical ac- lion of the rays on the agar that the bacteria liavo died. So long an any remain alive they thrive as usual on the agar ; when they die It is the Roentgen rays purely and simply ( .hat destroy them. Another thing it Is not necifuary. NO may suppose , to destroy all the bacteria In n human body. Destroying the fit eater part iti probably siifllclpnt to give mastery to the forces of vitality , and restore the patient's health. " "Then you think Uio Roentgen rays may one before , the hair never comes back. The roots are dead , " II < - | > | < > * . IIIK It AVoiiinn'N llniril. In proof ho showed mo next day a young woman whoso face had been unpleasantly bearded , but was now as smooth as woman's face need be. She said the treatment line been painless. She had simply sat for flf teen or twenty minutes each day with the Roentgen ray tube near her face. After six or eight applications the hairs began to wiish out. In less than twenty they were quite eone. "Only she will have to come bnck again every few months until the cure Is perma nent , " Bald tlio doctor , ' "fITen the Roentgen rays will absolutely destroy nny growth of hair on the body ? " "Absolutely , If used as I have told you. " "And inun like priests nnd actors might iwo the Roentgen rays and bo free from Hie need of ehiivlng ? " The doctor smiled. "Yes , " ho said , " 1 had never thought of that , but 1 suppose they might. " These experiments In epllatlon , Interest ing In themselves , 1mvo led Dr. fichlff Into Ills most Important nnd ( successful ute of the rays. I mean for the cure of lupus , n diendful malady which oftcnest attacks the CURING OANOEIl IJY THE US n OF ROKNTGEN'S X-RAYS. fare , making It tildeou * with dee . ulrrrs. The ulcers.

Still , at dm Dr. Sell lit ilia ] not expect to destroy t'he bacteria by u e i of the rays , but to e u e n deep local in- , ' llnmmatlt n that would react nmUnet the- germs. The flrst lupus case treated was a girl ot 14 , who had deep ukerallons In both the tippeVnnd lower sides of the right arm. Slit * * at under the rays properly forussed from fifteen to thirty minutes a sltllni ? during n period of two months. In that tlmo tlit * upper side healed entirely , the under side not at nil , the teacoii being that the rajs were applied to the upper side nnd the bono prevented them from * > enctratlng to the uu. ler side. Dr. Schiff Imd purposely nrrnngci' or such a result , meaning to show the girl lei'ore the medical society of Vienna before urlng her thoroughly. The second .rase . , n lad of 1C , suffering from upus under the- chin , was cured entirely by ho snmo treatment In about six weeks. The hlrd case , n joutig man cf 20 , with deep ilccratlotis over his neck nnd left cheek , was nlso cured entirely by tlio same means. Sum- nlng up , Dr. SchllT said : "I regard It ns lomniistmtcd that the disease of lupus may )0 ) cured 'by ' applications of the RocnlRon rnys. Caution Is necessary ; twenty minutes' exposure every two days Is usually sulllclont ' and I find an Induction cell giving a spark hlity centimeters long quite strong enough. " | "Do you believe that consumption of the ttnm Is caused by the same' 'bacteria ' tlmt I cause lupus ? " "That IB the general opinion ot b.vterl- ologlsts. " "Then Is It net likely that the Roentgen ays may kill these bacteria In the lungs ust ns they kill them on the surface ? " "It Is hard tu say : there nro two dlillctil- Ics In treating consumption with the Roent gen lays , first tlio obstruction of the ribs , Berond the danger of Inllnmmntlon.

" "Thcci you ought to bo able to cure many diseases. " "All diseases caused by bacteria can bo cured by the Roentgen rays If the applica tions are properly made nnd the patient can stand the treatment. " "Aro there patients who cannot stand llio treatment ? " "Some are too weak. " "And cancer ? You ba\o actually cured n case of that with 'tho rays ?
