(Article 3. continued).
The reports next morning were
all that could be wished by those
who desired that this great subject
should be Ventilated in a fair and
even sympathetic manner. Mr.
Keedick, who was delighted at the
result, assured me that a record had
been broken, as for the first time
three out of the five great New
Tork dailies gave the lecture a
whole column on the front page.
The space in these papers, I may
explain, is very carefully subdivided
and corresponds closely to the pub
lic Interest in any subject. The other
papers had also splendid accounts,
though in a less prominent position.
Altogether the press had treated me
with great generosity.
Lest I may seem to have exagger
ated the effect which my message
had produced let me Interpolate a
few short extracts from these
notices since I have no other way to
prove my words. Heywood Broun,
the special representative of the
New York World, said:
"Sir Arthur Conan Doyle made an
extraordinary impression last night
at Carnegie hall in his attempt to
prove the existence of life after
death and the possibility of com
munication with the dead. The ef
fectiveness of his talk depended on
the fact that in spite of the imagina
tion of his writings he seems to be
a downright person. He does not
look like a man who could be easily
stampeded. His audience was pro
foundly attentive. Kvidently it was
a crowd which had its dead."i
Andienre Responsive One.
Another, the Tribune, began its
account:
"With the utmost earnestness, Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle impressed his
belief in spirit communication on a
large audience at Carnegie hall last
night. Scores of women in mourn
ing were present, and tears were
brought to the eyes of many when
Sir Arthur told of his personal com
munication with his son."
Said the Times:
"It was a quiet and solemn audi
ence during part of the time that Sir
Arthur delivered his lecture. Nearly
every seat was taken 10 minutes be
fore he began and lines were stand
ing at the box office windows buy
ing standing room. The audience,
which numbered 3500 people, evi
dently saw a manifestation of the
coming of a newer and finer re
ligion that would clear out most of
the weeds in the old religions and
show tile human race- what God had
written down in his eternal law."
Jt was splendid to have so thor
ough a ventilation of the question.
In this the greatest city of what is
now the greatest nation in the
world. What more in my wildest
dreams could I ask for than this?
I did not want sudden conversions
1 did not desire that a great paper
should shock its subscribers by get
ting ahead of their convictions. But
I did want the general idea to get
about that religion needed reform.
that nothing could be done with the
world until that reformation came.
and that there was a body of people
who claimed that for 70 years they
Had possessed the means, derived
from other world sources, of bring
ing about this reformation on prac
tk'al but inspired lines. That knowl
edge Is the first step toward the
coming change.
There was a day or two of inter
mission, broken only by a rather
colorless lecture at Brooklyn.
spent the time in looking up some
of my old haunts and old friends
with very indifferent success. Mr.
Keedick introduced a touch of sport
into our lives by taking Us all to see
the opening ball game of the season.
where we rooted for the Giants, who
are a famous New York team. The
match was against Brooklyn, who
made a very poor show, though on
tneir day they are, I understand,
quite as good a team.
Baseball Excellent Game.
The more I see of good baseball
the more Impressed I am by the

the place it might fill m England. It
-y( is the summer game of the young
and active man', where no one finds
a place who has not the supple
joints of the thrower and sprinter.
A man may stick to his cricket till
he is 50, but a baseballer is old and
stale at 30, in spite of Ty Cobb and
a few examples to the contrary. The
outstanding' advantages are that it
can be played on any fairly level
field, that the outfit costs very little
and that the whole strenuous affair
. may be over in a couple of hours.
Life is too serious now for games
that last days on end. It has the
additional merit of forming an ex
cellent spectacle when once the
points are understood, and there are
none of those long, weary intervals
when bowling is short and batsmen
sticky. It would be an admirable
thing if all our association profes
sional teams, trained men in the
pink of condition, engaged good
American coaches, gave themselves
up to the game, and played league
matcnes against each other. I will
venture to say that if this was done
we should in a few years have as
many to see a baseball final between
Tottenham Hotspur and Preston
ISortn hna as come now to the foot
ball. As to the furore which :
decent British team, could we evolve
one, would create over here, it is
Impossible to exaggerate it.
The people seem to love not only
me game dut. me players, and the
feeling of hero-worship toward
famous pitcher or batsman can only
be compared to that which we have
all felt in our time for W. G. Grao
"Babe" Ruth, as he is playfully
caneo, is tne. great nitter. but late
ly he has been a fractious babe,
quarreling with umpires, chasing
spectators with his club, and getting
' periods of disqualification in conse-r
quence. A more pleasing figure is
, Mathewson, the greatest pitcher or
""5k. bowler that the game has produced,
who suddenly developed tubercle,
and whose fluctuations of health in
his sanitarium at the Adriondacks
are now a matter of national con
cern. He has taken his misfortune
with such philosophy and cheerful
bravery that his example is really a
fine one.

TONGUE BAFFLES COURT
Someone Finally Finds Chinese
Speaks Only Polish.
NEW YORK, Oct. 17. Won Chen
Sing, Chinese laundryman arraigned
in the Essex Market court today,
charged . with flinging a flagon
through a window in Michael Uro-
wytz's saloon, protested for 15 min
utes in a jargon nobody could understand.
Seven interpreters with knowl
edge of many languages and dia
lects could not make a word of what
he said.
Finally a spectator said he be
lieved Sing waa speaking a strange
Polish dialect, and offered to assist
the court. His offer was accepted
and after half an hour's talk the
court learned that Sing, though a
Chinaman, was born in Poland and
spoke only Polish.
Yesterday he and three Polish-
speaking Chinese comrades wenlt
out to celebrate a holiday peculiar
to he part of Poland from which
he came. The flinging of the flagon
in the Polish saloon waa just a bit
of fun.
Sing was fined and warned not to
be too funny in the United States
