THE BASE BALL SITUATION.
The Offer for the League Clubs and
What is Said About It.

The short article in yesterdays STAR showing
the true inwardness Of the 81 OOO, 600 offer of
the "New York syndicate" for the leagues fran
| chise opened the eyes of the people here to a
large degree, and while they disbelieved in the
| success of the attempt before, because they did
not think that it had been made, now they are
incredulous, because they know that it was such
an exceedingly small offer as to stand no show
whatever. Somewhat tardy, but nevertheless
quite interesting, is the interview with Mr..
Day and other concerned individuals in the
Philadelphia Press this morning. in which the
information given by The STAR yesterday was
reinforced.
The following extract from o talk with q
member Of the law firm making the offer
throws rather entertaining side light on the
question:
''Will you kindly give me the names Of the
gentlemen comprising the syndcate?"
=! should like to do so very much, but have
not been authorized to promulgate their names,
and therefore it would be quite contrary to
legal custom to disclose anything without
authorization"
Does the offer Of 100000 include the
PLAYERS as well as club?"
1T means everything. We want to put our
selves in the National leagues place"
Then you don't think that the 1,00O, 600 >
an extravagant offer?"
"Not at all; we have gone over the ground
carefully and will give every penny that is
offered"
How about sloO, 900 for the present WASH
ington club?'
That goes. Now, il you have an idea that
that is fabulous sum to give for the National
league clubs, I'll make proposition to you.
IL you can purchase those clubs for ESQ, 900
I'll give you 81 900 900, and thus you will be in
s25O.OOO. The firm of which have the honor
OF being member wishes to be placed right in
this matter and think our names are a sniff
cient guarantee that the offer has been made
in good faith"

WHAT PRESIDENT HEwErr SAYS,

President Hewett was seen by STAR reporter
yesterday and he looked as though he would be
rather glad of an opportunity to receive a hun
dred thousand dollars as his share of the pur-
chase money. But, he explained, of course he
wouldn't get that much in case the ''dicker"
was concluded; the money would be divided in
proportion to the earning capacity of each
club at the capitalization that would be put
upon it by careful fnancier When asked if
he had any more men in mind he said that he
has as good as signed a new second baseman
and all he wants now is a short stop, when he
will have a complete team. This will give him
fifteen men, fair sort of club to begin the
season with, as far as numbers go. He added
however, that he is not going to take any more
active steps until after the league meeting next
Tuesday, interfering sententiously that the
situation might be changed then.

WAITING.

Mr.. Hewett is probably in the same position
of old Mr.. Damocles, who used to be in the
habit of glancing upward occasionally at the
sharp edge of a sword suspended over his neck
by very slender cord. Mr.. Hewett is simply
waiting for the sword to fall. He does not
know when it will come or even if it is going to
come, but he does not want to go ahead with
his work and then have the sword fall and rem
der what he has done wholly useless. And so
he waits a week.

to STAR reporter few days ago. He said:

engaged eight umpires for the season, which
means an expense of S25, 900. Now that is Just
on par with everything else that they do.

This is a very important question to
business men, and one that only bus
mess Een can answer. We have the
assurance from thousands of them who
largely advertise that it does pay, if ju-
diciously pursued, and many Of them
have given their testimony in its favor.
If the reader will take up any of the
city papers from day to day for years,
he will find the columns filled with
tho announcements of leading business
houses. They do not come before the
public at long intervals, but regularly,
daily, changing their advertisements
with the variation in their stocks, quail
tiles and prices Of goods, thus not only
attracting attention to what they have
to sell, but arousing the desire Of buyers
to examine what is offered, thus making
customers and popularizing these places
of business. This class of men will tell
you in this day of competition that it
would be impossible to do business or
secure anything like an average trade if
they did not invite custom by giving in
detail a clear statement of what they
have got to sell.
On the other hand, thousands Of men
who have started in business with fair
capital, plenty Of push and q knowledge
of trade have gone to the wall simply
because they "hid their lights under a
b1shel," in failing to compete with their
pelghbors in having the buying public
know where they were, what they were
selling and what inducements they had
to offer. Aman may have the best stock
Of goods i'll the market, but if he fails to
invite custom or mako known the IN
ducements he can offer be Is sure to
drop behindi in the race, while his sharper
