TO-DAY we publish elsewhere n
letter, one of many of similar
kind, addressed to PoStmaster
Hammer. 1t speaks for itself and
produces an argument III favor of
making the local papers an index
to, or directory of the place in
which it is published. Here is a
gentleman vino wants to know
something of our city and very
naturally seeks to gain that
knowledge from the local paper.
Can he do it? Let the business
men of Ardmorc answer the
question. ArCmore has a popula-
ton of 5000 souls, mostly white
and has at least 300 firms doing
business in the various pursuits of
life; the people are thrifty and 10
degree very enterprising. These
are facts and qualities that should
be daily reflected to the outside
world and surely there is no me-
dunn as widely looked to as is the
local paper, though it be but
small in size. from necessity may
hap, but small all the same. Local
pride, to say nothing of the mani
fold returns from "A financial
standpoint of view should prompt
our business men to a greater de-
gree of advertising enterprise. 1t
pays in more ways than one.

THE LOUISVILLE FRANCHISE.
League Directors Not Empowered to
Transfer 1t India napOlfs.

NEW YORK, June 10.-The board of di-
rectors of the National Baseball League
met at the Fifth avenue Hotel to-day.
President Young, at the conclusion of the
forenoon session. said that no action would
be taken by the board, excepting in the
Cross and Everett cases. The national
board, he added, had no jurisdiction in the
matter of the st. Louis Washington finan-
cial tangle. Neither is it empowered to
transfer the Louisville franchise to Indi-
annapolis, even if such thing were con-
templated, and Mr.. Young pretended not to
know that 1t was.
President Freedman. OF the New Yorks,
and Patrick Bowers. Of the Rochester
club, were in consultation with the board
during the afternoon. The board decided
that pitcher Hodson shall remain with
Philadelphia. Hodson was released from
Boston some time ago. President Robinson,
of the Cleveland club. appeared before the
board to-day and said that Hodson ac-
cepted the terms offered him by Cleveland
before he signed with Philadelphia. The
board then took up the Everett and Cross
cases. In the case OF the first named il
was found that the Detroit club had no
valid claim against the Chicago club. for
the reason that valuable consideration in
the relase of Gienalvin had been given and
that Chicago had the right to select EV-
tfetl anu was warranted III DONG so unQor
the agreement with the Detroit club. This
disposes for all time Of the $500 claim made
by the Detroit club In the matter of
Cross il decided that his contract with
the Detroit club in 1894 was null and void,
he having been at the time a duly employed
player in the Eastern league. Thus Detroit
was found to have claim to any portion
of the consideration paid TO the Syracuse
club for the relase of Cross.
This note of warning was sounded by the
board before adjournment 1T has come
to the knowledge of this board that Of
ficials connected with clubs identified with
the national agreement have often violated
the letter and spirit of the agreement by
surreptitiously communicating with and en-
deavoring to influence players under con-
tract with other clubs. without the con-
sent of the latter. This board desires to
call the attention of all club officials. man.
ayers and agents to Article 8 of the nation
al agreement, which distinctly prohibits
such action on the part of any official This
board now gives notice that under the
power conferred upon it by the national
agreement. it is determined to put a stop
to this growing evil and will exercise its
full powers in doing SO and infict severe
penalties upon any one proven guilty Of a
violation of this rule. This is intended to
apply, to all clubs operating under the ma
tiOnal agreement"

ST. PAUL, Mimi, June 1O.-Off ten hits
this afternoon Indianapolis could only
make one run, and the home team won the

Mcfarland a base balls to keep him
from making a hit, which, followed by
base on balls that he could not help giving
Fisher, forced in Motz who got TO third on
a safe hit and Hogan's single. The game
resolved itself into a pitchers battle after
the first inning, the home team being I'M
able to make hits off of Fishers delivery
and those made by the visitors were kept
so well scattered by Jones, who pitched for
st. Paul, that they did not count for runs.
The st. Pauls won the game IN the first
inning by getting two runs and making all
the scores they were destined to get Smith
