So Count Casimir Pulask! and Thaddeus Kosciuszko came to this country. To tell of the life of Mosciuszko would be to tell of a wonderful old. world romance, of love and hardships, of discouragements and great tri umphs.

A great many critics during the off season were full of tearful predic tiona that baseball was going into a state of desuetude and that public In- terest was rapidly waning. It is now beliaved this may have been a wrong diagnosis, for there is more thao the average onthusiasm shown, and the sport is evidently for a big year.
