ms will be held in this city, just as
originally intended. The magnates will
probably begin to arrive today, and the
board of directors will meet at the
Windsor at 10 o'clock tomorrow, the full
league meeting at the same hotel at
noon. The adoption of a schedule is
the most important matter to come up,
the proposition to lengthen the season
to 140 games being likely to create quite
a contest. Comiskey, it is said, wants
Tommy Eernon, Kansas City's outfield-
er, badly, and has offered to give Man
ming either Stratton, Camp, Pepper or
Jones in exchange. Manning on the
other hand, wants Billy George. Where
CCmiskey can get an advantage on such
trade it is hard to see from this
distance.
Lange and Wilmot are picking flaws
in the substitute for the filming rule.
Bill says: l. Upon going on the field
remark loudly upon the umpire'S Vaga-
bond appearance. The color of his nose
may be spoken Of. Dirty hands and
face are good points to discuss. Speak
of the troubles poor married henpeck-
ed man has. Suggest that he get new
shoes and a hair cut. 2. In practice
strive to throw balls near the batsman,
keeping the eye fastened on the umpire.
A few stray cracks with the sphere will
put him in good humor. 8. Early in
the game remark in his hearing of the
good judgment Of certain other umpires
as contrasted with his. Ask him for a
loan. A. Strengthen your lungs while
In the field by diSputing his every de-
cision. 5. AS a final clincher expand
your Internal vocabulary by calling him
all the nice names you ever heard.
Manufacture a few new ones. 6. Act

Tom Bannon, who played sensation

lined to caVort about the Jersey City
infield this year
John T. Brush. although reaping a
harvest from a Western league city,
is the one man who is doing all in his
power to belittle the Western league.
1t is plain why Mr.. Brush should want
the drafting price cut down. He owns
the Cincinnati club, or, properly speak
ing, the Brush club, which is sup
6osed to represent Cincinnati, and
therefore can afford to spend a few
hundred dollars for the cream Of the
western league talent and then trans
fer them back to Indianapolis at his
will. Mr.. Brush should stick to one
league and not try to handle too many
eronS, at once. President Ban John

che interests of the minor leagues, the
ether delegates having apparently
beer hypnotized by some of the big
