DEVELOPING YOUNGSTERS.
FarmingOut Process an Excellent
Way to Make Ball Players

Baseball farming" as it is called, says
the New York Herald, is an excellent system
for National Leag clubs, however much
the minor organizations may growl about
it. The new plan promises TO keep the
ma ior teams supplied with more high-grade
Young timber, and thereby allow the man.
ayers to be more independent with the
veterans, who SO often bluff, soldier" and
shirk because they believe they are indis
pensable quantities in the national game.
II sometimes requires a year or more
to develop coming star" and the work
cannot be undertaken in n league team.
To keep him as a substitute has two OBJ
jections-first, he does not get the necessary
work to develop his talents, and, second,
he costs his salary without bringing any
return. Many promising young players
have therefore been cast adrift upon minor
lea CUES, where they soon acquired the
needful schooling, and were secured by
another league club. The farming sys-
tenn obviates this risk. A good illustra-
ton of its usefulness is the case of Collins,
whom the Boston club last spring farmed
to the Louisvilles. During the season Col
lins developed into star, and the Boston
club called him in at the close. The Louis
vile club had to give him up, though had
he been its player II could have secured
$4,000 for his release.

To express an opinion as to whether Won
der Abe or the newspapers are in the right,
but do say the strong opposition TO the
club will do considerable barm'to the visit
ing clubs. Tiis conflict of sentiment re-
garding a EOnie team or club management
does more harm to baseball than many
people think. II Las lost the league thou
sands OF dollars, and firmly believe that
80 per cent OF this kind of trouble is caused
by misunderstanding each other. Lots OF
people, you see, jump TO hasty conclusions
concerning themselves that they have been
sighted or unfairly dealt with, when moth
ing Of the kind has really happened. There
may be something OF this in st. Louis; at
any rate 1t is TO Ec hoped that niatters
will brighten up there, regardless of what
the cause is. You know we who are in
baseball must pay considerable Difference
10 the public, because public patronage
keeps the game alive to a very great ex-
tent And in this respect the Pittsburg
club has nothing whatever TO grunibic
about, as far as its local patrons are con-
cerned."

NOTES OF THE WHEEL.

The aggregate value of England's bicycle
exports for the year 1895 was Sc ,959, 900.
Members of the trade in this country ex-
pect to drive England away from the pre-
serves in sight before many seasons roll on.
few years ago English bicycles were i'm
ported to this country, but the American
ma ker wanted the trade for his own and he
did not rest until he obtained it. Euro
pean countries demand the greater part of
the exports today. From Australia, SCUM
Africa and South America the demand is
obviously limited, and yet several leading
American houses have esta blished branches
in Australia, while even more are begin
ming to cultivate the field in Europe. I'VE
will not" said a manufacturer recently,
pay much attention TO foreign trade
until the demand shows signs of stacking
off in this country. We have shipped
wheels to France, Italy, Germany and
Russia and We find that where prices and
standards are the same, American wheels
are preferred to those of English make by
foreign buyers"
This country will soon be famous for its
bicycle tracks. Today it can boast of
probably more than any other country, and
in quality, judging from the records, they
equal any in the world. Towns that have
not built bicycle tracks are aking prepara-
tions to do so this year, and not week goes
by that two OF three announcements are not
made to that effect. Milwaukee and Har-
r;sburg are the latest towns to announce
that they will have new tracks when the
season opens.

WAR BETWEEN CAPITALISTS.
Tobacco Men With Millions Are Ar
rayed Against Each Other.

ST. Louis, No, March "A morning
paper says: Antitrust tobacco manu-
facturers have fired the first gun and be-
gun the expected war which has been pre-
dicted for some time between the tobacco
manufacturers outside of the trust and the
American Tobacco Company.
Last Saturday the LgEett and Meyers
Tobacco Company sent out circulars to
all dealers in the United States who
handled their brand notifying them that a
cut of cents a pound would be made on
this brand of tobacco.
Three hours after this circular was pre-
pared the Drummond Tobacco Company
heard of il and sent out similar circular.
Both these firms are OF st. Louis and it
is understood the Lorillards and other
Eastern firms will follow suit.
Itis probable that this cut is the bepinning
of a war greater than any that has taken
place in this country between capitalists.
On one side is 4 trust with capital of
$40 ,000, 900 and on the other ha
dozen individual manufacturers whose
combined capital would equal So0,OOO,-
900 bound together by n single tie-a de-
sire to down the trust and protect their

BREITENSTEIN'S POSITION.
Sou,hpaw TwirIer Says Four League
Clubs Want Him.


ST. Louis, Mo-. March 4-Chris Won der
Ahe's representatives are very much con-
cerned over Pitcher Breitenste ms de-
niand for his release, based on the claim
that he was not rendered n formal con
tract to sign before March / as provided
In article 10 OF TIE national agreement.
Their anxiety is augmented by numerous
reports that several Eastern clubs are
making strenuous efforts to sign the
crack south-paw, Philadelphia in par
ticular.
None of these runlors could he veri-
fled here Today; but Secretary Mucken-
fuss, of the Browns. sent Ven der Ahe's
press agent around to the various news
paper offices to explain how the mag
nate was prepared to make any reason
able concessions Breitenstein might de-
mand, going so far as to say he would
sign him for the limit, with a good
bonus thrown in.
Breitenstcin admitted to The Times
CORE spondent that he had been .ap-
preached on several OccsaiOns, and asked
to sign prior to March l +, and had de-
clined. but he insists that no contract
was presented to him, and he will insist
upon his release, relying on a literal con-
struction and application of Article 10 OF
the national agreement.
When asked today if Philadelphia had
made him an offer he declined to say, but
intimated that not only the Quakcrs but
the Orioles. Spiders and Pittsburgs had
been in communication with him. He
frankly stated that he would sign with
the club offering him the most money.
A. j. Reach, president of the Phiadel-
phia club, who was reported to be in
town trying to arrange a deal for the
crack pitcher, could not be found today,
although none of the st. Louis officials
would deny that he was here.

concerned. He had a few words to say
yeTerday about few things. He said:
Il am inclined to think that the Louis

go through their list, wen find some rat

that seems most backward ut present is
the st. Louis team. 1t ie pity that there
is such a strong opposition TO the club
there; mean the public sentiment that is
