THE BASE RAIL- PLAYERS
are already beginning 10 lay in stocks
OF arnica and sticking plaster, in prep
aration for the coming seasop, and are
going 20 hold q convention NJ New

this month. The stock force OF enact

ing" OF games to beat outsiders ont OF
bets, will be re-enacted- on that occa-
sion. There are ten avowedly profess
sionaf clubs in the country, but how
far their demoraliziug example has
spread. and what fruits il may even
ret bring forth, in the shape OF other
clubs, no one knoweth.
