SKILL AND MUSCLE.

# promises TO be u merry time in
base ball circles ere another season and the
Indications are that the Association will
be the leading organization when the blue
birds whistle in the Spring. To the man
who does his own thinking the recent ''in-
vestigation" into the New York players
work In the windup of the season at Bos-
ton is very ludicrous. To begin with, the
clubs management had no business TO
make the Investigation. Mr.. Hart, of
/. Chicago, made charges TO Mr.. Young, the
head OF the League and IL was the Leagues
duty TO Investigate these charges, not the
{club's management But what's done
cannot be undone. The clubs manage
ment found the players mot guilty"
and the players have promised not
20 sue Mr.. Hart on condition that he apol-
'ogize publicly. The finding of the players
mot guilty" of any crookedness is ali
right in its way, but there is no use in dis
gllising the fact that the rumpus caused
by Mr.. Hart's charges has hurt the League
IL would be far better for that organiza-
tion il Mr.. Hart had kept quiet In hurt
ing the League IL is bound to help the
enemy, the American Association. That
organization has lived the season through
and made money. 1t has demonstrated
that II Is possible to live without swearing
away its own existence and going
under the National agreement. y
Noxt spring it will blossom out
stronger than ever Chicago will be in
the circuit with 25-cent ball aud that
means trouble for Anson, especially as he
was beaten ont under the wire in the race
Tor the pennant this season. Chris. Won
der Abe is in Chicago looking after the
a. AS ipterests there and that means busi-
ness. Already such names as Pfeffer,
Grimbert, Ryan, Kittridge, Richardson,
Connor, and Hart of Sioux City arc said
TO be attached to Chicago Association con-
tracts for next year and altogether the
outlook for clear sailing for Anson is not
so bright as it has been. The League will
find IL n harder battle to fight next wear
than il has been this, which is saying a
good deal.
The Board Of Governors Of the Provi-
dSncc Athletic Association will hold
