out with -winded articles on the necessity of
giving team ma nagers absolute control in selecting

just so long will the manor men-who put up the

N. Y. AND PA. LEAGUE.
Very Good Prospects for That Lively Or

Very Good Prospects for That Lively Or
g2nization This Season.
BRADFORD, Feb. l3.-Mr. J. A. Lindsey, of
this city, who has been President of the
western New York and Pennsylvania
League since its organization, comes for
ward with suggestion for the arrangement
OF next seasons circuit. His idea is to take
in the cities of the original League of 1890
Bradford, Dunkirk, Erie, jamestown, Mead
vile and Olean. The Bradford club he says,
can be reorganized without an effort and of
the entire circuit proposed it is believed
that Dunkirk will be the only town that viii
require any special effort.
Judging from past experiences there is no
minor League with better prospects OF living
through the season than the above, nor any
in which a better article of ball is put up.
With moderate salary limit, rigidly en-
forced, circuit arranged as above would be
more likely TO carry the clubs through n
moderately successful season than any which
has vet been suggested
There will be no scarcity OF good playing
material during the coming season, and now,
instead of early summer, is the time to set
the ball rolling.

fellow has been employed rs a trial horse for
the mlddlc-weight champion.
