PLANS FOR NEXT SEASON.
Now that the present base ball season is draw
ing near its close the men who are most inter-
e-ted IN the advancement Of the professional
game are beginning TO put into definite shape
certain improvements over the present status of
the sport While few managers openly express
their Rntsgoni-m to the twelve-club circuit and
the double championship season. the majority
still miIn tain that the present organization Of
the big league he proven 50 successful that
without question 1t will continue next year just
a. present.
One Of the matters 10 be brought before the
meeting Of the league to be held next November
viii be the shortening OF the playing season.
keveral managers propose to have the season
begin about Nav and extend not later than
October !. In the early spring and late fall
The PLAYERS are liable to injury from exercise in
the cool atmosphere. A number of games are
prevented BY rain. and only the most enthusi-
s-tic lover OF the sport will risk taking pueu-
uoniA BY sitting on damp and cold stands to see
che hrst or last few contests of the season. In
shortening the season il Is proposed to reduce
the uurubsr OF games l.ll from ia siXry-zIy
games to he played in each championship
season.
The CLUBS are TO make, according to the pro-
posed schedule. but two long trips away from
home instead of three, as this year. This would
save the expenses Of one long trip to each club.
IL u probable also, that the question of signing
the PLAYERS by the month will be discussed at
the league neeting.-Bdltinaore Sun.

Hanlon is firing the men fer poor PLAYING and
mistakes, thereby keeping on the right side OF
President Vonderhorst, who knows as much
about base ball as Chris Won der Abe.
The PLAYERS Of the loca' team have no heart
70 PLAY good ball and the base ball public have
no desire to go TO the games.
Manager Hanlon j. Kissed whenever he has
the courage 20 GO out on the coaching lines as
