THAT TWELVE CLUB CIRCUIT.

sumEnted Mt m l:nrlY Date.

Indications Tlint tho Scheme May DO Con-
sumrnated Mt an Early Date.
New York, Dec. IA statement made
by President c. Ii. Byrnc, OF Brooklyn,
to the effect that the arrangements for
the twelve club League circuit had been
practically finished, called forth some
peculiar comments from certain .Amcri-
can Association men. The Wagners,
while denying that they had reached 4
settlement in Philadelphia with Reach
and Rogers, admitted thatif Il majority
OF the Association clubs wished them to
consolidate with the League club there
they would do all in their power to
bring that end about. This is in marked
contrast to their statement OF 4 month
ago that they would notenter into peace
negotiations under any consideration
and would not sell out for $4,000.
In the case OF the Boston people it is
well known that Prince wants to get
out OF base ball because OF his unwill-
inSness to put UP any moro money 10
5 run tho Boston Reds. Baltimore and
Washington have actually signed agree
ments to accept franchises in the new
league, ard have made preparations to
withdraw from the Association at the
proper time. 1t won't take much to
buy ont Columbus, and the restoration
OF Taylor and Jennings 10 the Louis
riilc club might induce that orsaliiza-
ton to look upon the twelve club
scheme more iavorably.
Last but not lcastcomos Won der Nhc,
the "sly old rascal OF baseball, as he
has lately been dubbed. "Ch:is," while
stating in stcntorian tones that ne is
for war and the resurrection oil the As
ISOLATION, is known TO be in favor OF the
ncw scheme; in fact, he told John Ward
20 in my hearing during his last visit to
Now York, but he expressed fear at q
possible vision OF the "dinkey-dink,"
which in baseball means the nm as 4
"%ircczc OUT or 4 throw down." Won
der Ahc all this time has been watch
ing for 4 chance to get in out OF tho
rain, and may at any moment come out
boldly in favor OF twelve clubs in the
greatest organization baseball has ever
been honorcd with.
When such men MS Soden, Robson,
Byrne and Brush try to pull q league
scheme through it generally succeeds,
and those individuals who are bowling
wildly against this excellent plan may
find themselves in a surprising position
some day, for there is every evidence
just now that they will be disappointed
in n short time.
1t is the almost unanimous opinion
that the proposed twelve club league is
tho only salvation OF the national game
i'll its present disorganizcd state.

The electric light commission wanted
TO know last night who was to blanc
for tho delay in the finishing Of the clcc-

TO drink heavily, and they fear that no
will never BIO able to meet Slavin. They
know that every time 4 man OF his years
rushcs into excess the difficulty OF
getting back into good physical con-
dition increases in rapid progression.
Sullivan has made n fine record for
comparative sobriety in tho last five
months, and all his friends hoped that
hc would take care OF himself until he
had defeated Slavin for the champion
ship OF the world. Sullivan informally
conferred tho title OF champion on
Slavin when the Australian called on
him in the West last spring. This
probably explains why Sullivan was SO
anxious to meet Slavin again. Unless
the Big Fellow reforms at oncc the
chances Of his ever meeting Slavin are
very slender indeed.
1t is very likely that Sullivan will re-
tire from tho stage within Il few days.
His hackers in the theatrical business
arc reported to have grown weary OF
spending money in the effort to prove
that John is = great actor. Jack Bar
nit, who was with tho Sullivan-liarri-
son combination on their Australian
tour, says that more than $4,000 vas
sunk in that venture. The expenses
were enormous. There were eleven
persons in the company. At one hotel
$3.50 was charged for board for four
persons for four days. At least that is
the story. Now that John has tried to
add the trade oil authorship to his other
accomplishments and has begun to
i%nterpe!late drunken jests among his
lines in Honest Hearts and Willing
Hands," tho play has lost its
power to draw, The best thing
that could happen to Sullivan would be
compulsory retirement to some IL
try place where he could hunt and fish
for six months without any chances OF
dissipation. But who can compel John
to do anything even for his OWL good?
One alarming symptom about his pres
cnt outbreak is that he has decisions OF
persecution. This looks bad. When
men lose their mental balance and be-
come q prey to that awful form OF in
sanity known MS ~melancholia, decisions
Of persecution are among the earliest
symptoms. Sullivan's idea that news
paper writer's are bounding him of the
stage is allnonsense. Newspaper writer's
tell the truth about him, as they do
about everybody else, and all that they
want is to see him behave himself and
remain what he is, the greatest fighter
America has ever produced.
