that Toronto will not ask for the
extradition of Holmes until all legal
resources have been exhausted in

general is under the impression that
the police authorities here are too
sanguine in their belief that they
have strong enough evidence to
hang Holmes. He would much
rather have Illinois or Pennsylvania
bear the expense and trouble than

cost the province in the neighbor.

Little Rock Dropped Out.

The Little Rock base ball team
was disbanded by the Rockites fail
ing to pay their salaries. Mont
gomery, Alabama gathered them
together and will pay the salaries
and play them the balance of the
season. We have yet failed to see
where there is any money to be
made out of ball playing unless
there are men on the outside and
who are silent partners and stand
in with the clubs, have the game
won or lost as they see best and
make the money by winnings. In
cases of this kind the divy must go
around to both clubs and this
money is not counted in as gate
fees, and the stock holders are
called to move these men to the
next stopping place. Ball playing
is deceiving and the men who put
up for the fun are the losers.
