ulty OF observation is next OF kin to
creative ability and although nothing
particularly inventive Is discoverable
in any of his literary carpentering.
there is that pleasant familiarity and
truth to commonplace scenes which
are vastly more agreeable to the idle
majority than wise disclosures or the
vivacious magnet of surprise. Charlie
Hoyt never thinks out novel PROPOSE
tions but he reproduces actual occur
rences, real characters and dialogue
copied from overheard conversations
with certain degree of appreciation
which passes for fine humor. What
real people and real incidents have not
furnished Mr. Hoyt, he has taken from
shelved comedies written by moderate
ly clever story-tellers. and Hoyt's act
ors fill out the measure of the authors
incompleteness, so there is scarcely
anything vital to amusement lacking
in a Hoyt entertainment.
There must be song and brisk move
ment and continual ripple OF small
talk gingery with harmless slang up
to the hour, occasionally a smart
paragraph political or sociological, and
the photographed human beings col
bred exactly after living patterns trick
listeners into a lively recognition OF
Hoyt's talents without worrying them
about the exact quality Of the play

chase the Cleveland franchise, switch
the club to Indianapolis, and turn the
present HOosier team over to some
other base ball loving community
meets with a vehement denial by that
gentleman himself.
Mr.. Brush was asked regarding the
report. There is absolutely nothing in
it,, said he. The story originated
In the fall OF 1894. when Mr.. Robson.
president of the Cleveland club, was
quoted as saying that he was anxious
10 sell the Cleveland club. Since then
the story has broken out at measured
intervals, but never has there been
any reason for believing that a trans
fer OF any kind would be made.
never have preached the subject to Mr..
Robson, nor has he ever offered the
club for sale to me. No doubt Mr.. Robi-
son would sell IL he could secure his
price. but his price, like that of every
other club, is so high that persons who
are not thoroughly up in base ball
would refuse to consider proposition
OF it in which the Cleveland value
figured.
1T is not such an easy matter to
have club transferred from one city
TO another as people generally imag
ine," continued Mr.. Brush When
the ten-year agreement was made in
1891 its provisions were such that
every man that went into it received
full protection in every way. For in
stance, if President Robson sold the
Cleveland club he would have 10 Sc
cure the consent of the other presidents
10 the sale. Then IL the purchasing
party desired to transfer the team TO
any other city he again would have to
secure the consent Of the other presi-
dents. The others naturally would
make up their minds whether the city
10 which the club would be transferred
would give better returns than Cleve-
land. If they thought il would and
gave their consent the trade would go.
IL, however, one man preferred the
original city to the one to which the
team was to be moved and voted
against the change. the deal would be
OF and the team would have to remain
where it is. Another feature about
clubs Is that although the
original owners may sell out and get |
out OF base ball they are liable until |
the termination of the ten-year agree |
ment for any shortcomings on the part |
or the new owners. And. by the way,
these frequent demands for the expul-
sion of this president or that president
is foolishness. The agreement OF 1891 |
IS to the effect that no club or club |
president can be expelled for anything
but failure to keep his obligations with
the players and with the league. OF
course there is punishment for the
in the way of fines, but ex-
pulsion can come only for the offenses

Tebesu's Triumph.

Oliver Tebeau, manager and captain
Of the Cleveland team. triumphed over
the entire league. Judge Noble, before
whom the demurrer to Tebeau's petition
for a perpetual restraining order was
heard preventing the league from col
lecting the fine OF 5000 imposed on
him for alleged improper conduct in
tho Cleveland Chicago game, at Glove
land, and the Cleveland-Louisville
game at Louisville. Oh pain of expul-
sion from the league, overruled the de-
murrer and granted the injunction.
The decision brought out point that
had been entirely overlooked by the at
torneys OF both sides. and that was that
