General j. F. Temple, of Waynesburg,
was in the city yesterday confering with the
officials of the Pennsylvania Company re-
lative to the extension of the Waynesburg
and Washington road from Waynesburg
through the Mt. Morris oil fields to Morgan
town, w. Va.
The farmers and others along the proposed
route offer to subscribe $50, 600 and give the
right of way as an inducement, but the Gen.
eral can do no more with the Pennsylvania
Company until he is able to make offers in
an authoritative manner. He thinks that
the people along the route will respond
promptly.

plan, for the players to verbally state their case
TO the National League officials.
A nJisleading Notion.

Misleading NOt10ns
Probably one of the most erroneous notions
connected with the proposed league of the
Brotherhood is that which makes it co7opera-
tive concern or organization. The notion has
been so generally accepted as true that have
read of some Kind of trades unionists or other
or knights of Labor representatives talking of
having this alleged cooperative body into their
trade combinations. Now nothing could be
more misleading than to think that the new
league as proposed is cooperative organiza-
tion. 1t is nothing of the kind. and when we ex-
anime the principles closely on which
it is to be founded If ever it is founded, we
will see that It is nothing more nor less than
big joint stock company, and that the capitalists
therein pay their employees bonus IN addition
TO their wages or salaries. This also proves
that it is not founded on the principles of in
dustrial partnership either. ! am aware that this
opinion will be assslled by those who are ultra
enthusiastic about the new departure, or rather
proposed departure of the players, and Will,
therefore, define what true cooperation is. A
cooperative enterprise is one in which every
bouy connected with it is shareholder. In an
enterprise OF that kind it can be seen at 8
glance that labor is entirely employing itself,
and that is the great aim of cooperation. 1t
is also very plain to be seen that where any
kind OF concern employs the services OF men
who are In no way connected with 1t. except by
receiving their wages salaries, It is SINH
lar in principle to any other firm that we find
among our industries in Pittsburg. Co-opera-
tlOu means that eNeI1DOuy lnLeEeSteu LnuSb
contribute part of the capital. Now this is not
the case by any means with the proposed
league. A limited number of capitalists put up
all the stock, and they formulate q contract to
hire players or workers at given salary, with
promise of part Of the profits Now if this
is not joint stock company hope somebody
viii explain why it is not. TO me it would GER
tainly nave been infinitely better and more IN
keeping with the great democratic principles,
not partisan, mind you, of this vast country
had every player in the new league contrib
uted toward the capital stock of the proposed
enterprise. Then, indeed, we would have had
a true cooperative organization.

REMARKS ABOUT THE PUGILISTS

Well, we are at the end of another week
and still no Brotherhood Baseball League
organized. The way in which the players
representatives, started in to work on Mon
day seemed to leave no doubt whatever
about there being a new league thoroughly
organized by this time. Such is not the
case, however. The deliberations of the
players and their friends came TO an abrupt
termination on Thursday and the cause, as
far as I am able to judge, is yet to be made
public. However, 1 am not one of those
who entirely believe that the surprising ad-
journment Of the meeting means a collapse.
feel fully Convinced the majority of play
ers at least are determined to proceed with
their venture. However, there may or
there may not be truth in the report that
the new scheme is not getting the amount
Of backing that was expected. I don't know
anything about this part of it, but
20 say the least Of it things look very suspicious
indeed The undertaking is a gigantic one,
and, as its promoters get more into it, its ex-
tensiVe proportions will develop themselves in
way that may discourage the most sanguine.
The players have given us a scant idea as to the
plans on which they will build their orgauiza-
tion, if ever it is built, but while they have
done that they have established the fact that
they are just about as blundering in business
affairs as any other body of men. 1t is a note
worthy fact that after eogitating over the
matter for years. a man like John NJ. W ard
should get so far astrsy in the rudiments of or
ganizstion- According to reports John and his
colleagues utilized an entire day in discussing
and voting on matter, only to be informed
when pIghtfan came that the entire business
was illegal Surely John Ward has room to i'm
prove as a lawyer.

The Bonus System.

1 have just said, or at least meant to say,
that the bonus feature Of the proposed league
is what has led many to imagine it a co-opera-
tive enterprise. However, that system is in no
way cooperative except that the anticipation
of sharing the profits invariably prompts the
workers to do their best il trying to make
success of what they are engaged in. The sys-
TEN of paying bonus out of the profits is . very
old one, and has had very unsatisfactory
career. 1t sometimes happens that there are
no profits, and it also sometimes occurs that
there is a deficit but those who have been re-
ceiving the bonuses refuse to share the loss.
This has invariably been the rock on which the
system has split When all is prosperous the
bonus system is generally all right,
but when depression sets in depend
upon it that endless troubles begin.
The why's and wherefOres about there being
no profits to share become extremely bewilder-
ing to those who have the capital invested; /
mean the demands of the salary receivers to
know why no profits are forthcoming causes
the trouble. Don't let any of my readers run
away with the idea that this is all theory, be-
cause it is no such thing. l could give dozens
of instances showing exactly that results have
been just as have said. It is lesson of his

Teemer and Hamm.

One Of the events of the week has been the
confessions of John Teemer and Albert Hamm,
of concocting and taking part in one of the
most disgraceful affairs that has characterized
the very black and degraded history of pro-
fessional boat racing during recent years. All
of us who we're in any way interested in that
race between Gaudaur and Teemer can now
plainly understand that it was an attempt con-
ceived ID the spirit Of the deepest dyed scoun-
drelism to defraud and cheat the public. The
hatchers of that nefarious transaction un-
blushingly tell the public the entire infamous
story. If ever had any doubt as to the sound
did, or if ever had any regrets about it, they
have entirely vanished. My only regret now is
that the concOcters were not jailed The
public will certainly see now that it was pro-
tected. My decision was not given on the race
per sc, but subsequent developments convinced
me that swindling, or attempt at swindling
were at work. Why, a very short time
indeed, after the race 1 learned, though
somewhat vaguely of the transactions that had
been going on, and resolved at all hazards to
stand between the public and those preying
upon 1t as far as was able. gave the principals
another chance to try and settle matters be-
tween themselves and curiously enough they
refused. Il is not worth while to stop one
moment to inquire whether this man tried to
row ii out or the other tried to rowit in. Their
confessions Of depravity convince me that it is
unsafe to listen to a declaration of any kind
that may be made by them. 1t may be that the
half has not been told 1t is unfortunate for
professional sculling so much so that we need
hot expect a contest of note here for a long
time TO come. However, am one of those
who sincerely believe that James A ST. John
was unaware of the trickery. In my estimation
there is not a scintilla of evidence 10 show that
he knew anything about the scheming, and 1
believe that he innocently fell into very bad
company.

A Betting Principle.

Probably the most important piece of busi-
ness done by the players and their friends is
that relating to cash prizes ~ for the clubs that
contest in the race. If ever there was princi-
pie of professional betting beautifully sand
wiched into anything, we find it In the pro-
posed league Of the players. This statement
may surprise some people, but its truth is
apparent if the question is looked into. Here
are the conditions of what 1 term the Players
League Sweepstakes: Each club has to put up
stake Of S25O0. which makes a total of So
0OO quite an attractive pot Of money Well
this total is divided into first, second,
third, and so on, the club finishing
last getting whaE we sometimes hear called
smut" Now. will anybody show me the
difference in principle between this gigantic
professional sweepstake and the ordinary
sweepstakes of professional rowers, pedestrians
or race horses2 If there is any difference
would like to have it pointed out. For the life
Of me, cannot avoid the conviction that the
players by the introduction OF this betting
principle have reduced baseball to the level of
the other professional sports. Time and time
again the courts have told us that betting
either in the shape of stake money or side
bets, is Illegal, and surely anything that is
illegal ought not to be cOuntenanced by the
national game of the country. 1 may be told
that the rules of the new organization state
that each club will be assessed" $3.50 as
contribution toward the total stake as prize
money Whether the word assessed" or any
other word is used to express it that fact re-
mains that club, like man entering a pro-
fessional, must put up his stake money. In
dong so, it may be remarked that each club
gets very fair odds, and may add that when
each club puts up its stake money there ought
70 be no objection to anybody making book
on the final result.

Another Interesting Feature.

This cooperative notion has also prompted
many to talk OF the trade combinations open
ing their doors or extending their arms to the
ball players. There is really much that is
amusing in this. At the outset it certainly
would be interesting to see one of our $500 per
week ball players soliciting the aid of S. per
week laborers in a K. of L. Assembly. But if
the recognition, that is the special recognition,
of trade combinations should be extended to
the proposed joint stock league, why should
the line be drawn there2 Why should it not
extend TO theatrical companies similarly man
aged, and if Mr.. James A. st. John succeeds in
organizing his professional scullers' association
why should that body be excluded from trade
combinations if they are to shelter the pro-
posed league? However, 1 believe that the ma
jority of labor leaders nowadays are too sensi-
BILE to interfere in the matter at all

An Unfair Condition,

But there is very unfair condition in this
-Eweepstake arrangement The condition
places every club on level, and some OF them
will not have the ghost of a chance TO win.
The arrangement assumes that one club is
just as good as another while common sense
will tell us that the assumption Is wrong
However, each has to plank up its s. 500 and

and any odds required against others. 1t is a
fne arrangement for some clubs. as their
chances of putting up s., 500 and getting S. 900
for 1t are very bright, inueed. DOL't let any,
body think that / am opposed to betting or
competing for stakes. am certainly not but
i have always been led to believe that national
game or pastime should be entirely free
from any betting feature If the players, as
they contend, are trying to elevate the game,
fail to see how this sweepstake arrangement
can do it. Every game that is played will be
for q stake and people who then 60 to see a
ball game cannot consistently object to or
complain about any other contest for money
The national game sets the example, or rather
il has descended TO the level Of six-day-Co-as-

The League Meeting.

There are other features of the players pro-
posed league that are exceedingly questionable
because of their apparent unfairness, but space
at present viii not permit a discussion regard
ing them, as the meeting of the National
League, TO be held next week, demands little
attention. Curiosity as TO what the League
magnates will do is very intense. So far they
have not given any definite intimation as to
wnat course they will pursue expect it be that
they will Just go along as usual Mr.. Pratt
tolo me the other day that most assuredly the
magnates mean to meet and transact their busi-
ness just If all their old players were signed.
This information seems definite and straight
enough, but we cannot rest assured about any,
thing in baseball nowadays. However. still
cling to the opinion that The players have made
8 very grave mistake in not arranging to meet
and confer with the gentlemen who have made
many of them wealthy men. In the past there
may have been faults on both sides as far as
business dealings were concerned, but Tecollec-
uons uf these things ought not to prevent
body OF men from acting with a certain amount
Of respect After all / think there are few of
us outside of the players, who will not think
that certain amount of respect is due to the
League magnates from the players. In saying
this am well aware of the old sores about one
thing and another, and still argue that the
position of the PLAYERS would have been
q thousandfOld better had they man
fully gone aud Stated their intentions or
demands to the League officials. The example
set in this instance by the players may some
day recOil disastrously on themselves. Doubt
less many Of the players think they are now
safely entrenched against anything the League
may do; but it is ssii possible that one of these
DAYS the players might wake up TO find them
selves in q very sorry plight Very surprising
things have occurred. and it would certainly
seem the safest. or at least tle most honorable
