confinc themselves TO carrying freight
and passengers as cheapiy as possible or
they must be allowed TO increase rates
sufficiently TO obtain a fair return for
services to the community. Something
must be done at once.

midabie Opposition Next Year.
CHICAGO, Sept. IA local paper says
Al John son, backer Of the old Cleveland
Players league, and a brother Of Con-
gresham Tom johnson, is said to be en-
cheering scheme for another players
league, and with fattering prospects Of
success. He has abundant means to carry
out any plans that he may attempt, and
the fact that the western cities are ripe
for change will help him materially in
any changes that may be suggested. Mr..
johnson will himself back the new clubs
in New York and Brooklyn, and will
build park near m ELECTRIC line that he
owns in Brooklyn, which will be second
to none In the country.
Philadelphia is anxious for change,
and several business men in that city will
put money into club. Buffalo, Provl-
dence and Plttsburg men are ready to
take hold Of clubs in those cities, and
Billy Barnie will handle the Baltimore
end of the deal. Several Chicago men
who are known to possess the capital and
ability to push matters to successful re-
suit have already taken hold of the mat
ter, and Fred PETER Is said to be the man
who will be secured to organize the clubs.
johnson is said to have expressed him
self as willing to put 100000 into the
new organization, and there are several
other men who would be willing to in
vest an equal amount. He believes in the
twenty-five cent admission schedule, Sun
day games and broad guage lines and IL
the other cities mentioned are as ripe for
q change as Chicago another year may
see two clubs in this city.
