The County League.

1 don't think that anybody interested in base
ball affairs will argue that the County League
has been a success this season. By this
don't mean to intimate that it has been fail
ure but make the statement that it has not
by any means accomplished what was expected
of it, here are certainly causes for this. but
we may differ TO the causes. Yesterday
had a conversation with an official of club that
has left the League, and he made very
frank statement to me on the matter. He said:
The truth is there is more money for us on the
outside. We have found that it is all outlay
in the league, and even at that we never get
away from home. There are too many of us,
and it was big mistake when we went into the
league with ten clubs" 1t seems TO me that in
one respect the gentleman above quoted hits
the nail on tie head, although he does It indi-
rectly. The severest blow the County League
has received has been by its taithless members.
At the commencement of the season all was
enthusiasm, and everybody pledged himself in
the name of everything above and beneath that
he would stick to the league through thick and
thin. II / mistake not these strong declarations
of faithfulness had a great deal to do with the
admission of ten clubs into the league, How-
ever, the season advanced and many of these
very faithful people discovered that they could
earn a few dollars by paying little
or no attention to the league, and casting
their lot now and again with other people. As
a result some of the clubs were never sure of
their best players. and even some of the officials
of clubs encourage this Kind of thing. There
has been also an exchanging Of players among
the league clubs that has been ridiculous, and
what has shown clearly that the organization
has neither been systematic or faithful. IL is
impossible to carry on an amateur or novice
league if almost all the good are inclined to
dIsappoint and deceive for the matter of s. or
SO now and again. 1t is fact now fully dem
onstrated that the County League has not been
entirely formed on ''love for the game" 1t is
unfortunate that few dollars will cause many
of its members to forsake their colleagues. In
future, those who have clung to the league
should remember these facts and shape
their organization accordingly. What we
commonly call an amateur league is very
praiseworthy organization, but it better be
small and good than large and trustworthy.

Certain authorities right or wrong, have
come to the conclusion that football is not a
recreatIve game. but is a dangerous profession.
That is the conclusion to which the English
conference of RechabItes have come and ac-
cordingly they have decided not to give sick
pay to any member injured while playing foot
ball 1 am not much surprised at this because
of late football has become a very rough and
tumble game, indeed. The same conclusion
may be arrived at by the American Rechabites
than in our British cousins. However, the
latter, or at leas: the Rechabite portion of
them, also e1deavored to rank cricket playing
among the dangerous professions. but happily
the effort failed. Perhaps the Rechabites have
a natural sympathy for cricketers as who do to
some extent ''live in tents"

At last it seems probable that Wen soon get
some kind of measure of Peter Jackson's abili-
ties. 1t will be indirectly, no doubt, but it will
be a measurement. The proposed battle be-
tween Smith and Slavin will, undoubtedly,
give us some idea, because Slavin and his
friends emphatically claim that he is the
superior of Jackson. On this question 1 have
nothing to say at present. What 1 want to talk
about is Smith and Slavin. A contest between
these two men will be of great international
interest, but it may be little too soon to try
and spot the winner. However, i am at present
considerably inclined to favor Smiths chances.
