ST. JOSEPH AMBITIOUS.
One Of the Western Babes After
the Pennant.


the Pennant.
ST. JOSEPH, Jan. 5.-With the admis-
sion of Denver and st. Joseph the West
ern association becomes the strongest
of the minor base ball leagues. The
cities are each abundantly able to sup
port good ball club, and the circuit is
good one. The old Western league
had in it towns which were not large
enough to support a salarled ball
club. The causes which led to
the disbandment Of the old West
ern league nave been guarded
against in the formation of the assOcia
aion. Chief among these was the ques-
ton of high salaries. The salary limit
places the club upon a business basis
and makes it certain that each of the
clubs will make money. The St. 10.
seph club has business men in charge of
hear the news which was contained in
Yesterdays official notification to COM
mence the work of signing players.
Charles Lord, who will manage the
st. Joseph club, is in correspond
ence with number of good players who
can be signed at weeks notice, and is
determined to place strong club in the
field. 1t has been already decided to
locate the grounds IN Wyatt park.
These grounds will be the finest which
the st. Joseph public have ever seen.
Altogether the prospects for good ball
next year have never been brighter in
this city than they are at present, and
everything tends toward the belief that
the st. Joseph club will carry the league

Bluff VS.. Truth.

While in Washington last week New
York's manager, Mutrie, let a little sun
light into dark corner when he said to
questioning reporter: II know that
we were accused of paying extravagant
prices for certain players, but
the fact is we expended only
S2,700 for Gore and Hatfield,
while Slattery, Crane, Foster and several
others did not cost us a nickel. They
did not receive the big salaries they
claimed, either. Some of them gave it
out that they were getting way above
the limit, but we did not think it worth
while to deny it. You can we'll under
stand that we did not pay Elmer Foster
$4,000 or anything like that sum, yet 1t
was printed in every direction that he
was paid that amount"

SHED AT BY SHAFER.
The Orator Doesn't Like Minor
League Reserves.

League Reserves.
In conversation the other day, Orator
George Shafer made strong objection to
allowing minor leagues to reserve their
players without further restrictions and
regulations, and cited his case in point
as sample of the injustice that may be
done. "Now." said George, "here
am 1 bound to Des Moines by
the reserve rule. The club won
the Western association pennan5,
yet lost $12, 900 on the season, and l am
just as sure as that am here that there
will be no club in the town. The capt.
tai stock of the club was $1,000 and its
loss $4,000. 1t is, therefore. an in
Germ at all, yet 1 am bound to
the reserve rule, simply because
the club was able to pay for the
privilege of reservation under the Ma
tional agreement. If L had chance
would work for the adoption of a rule
that would require from every club OBJ
tanning the privileges of the reserve
rule a bond which would bind them to
release players when it becomes evil
dent that the club was unable to con-
tinue the business on a solid financial
basis.
"Des Moines would probably like to
sell me, but what club wants to buy a
player so far advanced in years as l am.
[ last year played the best kind of ball,
and batted right up to the mark, butt
am now at my best, and there is no
more chance of my improving. How
long 1 can last in this good condition is
something l cannot say, though hope
it will be many year before become
back number. Well, that's not the kind
of a man the League or Association
managers want to buy. They want
young blood that will be constantly i'm
proving.
"In April will have to journey out
to Des Moines, and when l get there 1
will have to 20 to work with club that
has nothing but wind back Of it, to be
perhaps left there without dollar when
the club collapses, as collapse it must.
Oh, yes, Pm in favor of the reserve rule,
but not of the indiscriminate giving
of reserYing privileges as is done now"

BLACK PUGlLISTS.
CoIored Men Who Have Succeeded

The success of Jackson has brought
out lot of gossip about other colored

a New York Herald writer recalls the
performances of some of the famous.
"Molineux is the first brought to
mind, and though he lived and -four

the best of the few. He was born in
Virginia, but journeyed tolEngland and
was introduced to the world of pugilism
by his colored countryman, Bill
Richmond, also a fighter of promi-

ability he possessed. He fought many
times, going for such men as Bob Bret

Of whom defeated him; but his victories
were numerous and prominent.
"YOung MolineuX, who was born in
1878 and whose last battle of impor-

whom he beat, was also another black
of English fame. He died at Liverpool

those he whipped were Harry Allen,

fought, occupying two hours and forty

asked as to McAuliffe's chances, Mad

anticipate an easy victory over the
Streator champion. / have never seen
Myers, however, and he may prove a
tougher nut to crack than | think. If
the admirers of Myers will bet their
money as freely as it has been stated
that they would, you will see more
money wagered on this battle than you
have ever seen before on lightweight
fight, as the Eastern division will back

as long as anybody can be found to

and if we win we want to win on the

hope we can depend on that"
