Veteran Paul Hines Is home again for
the winter and his jelly German face and
well upholstered form can bc seen regu-
larly at the Home Cinb of an evening.
raui started the season a. manager-captain
of the Burl .nGton, La club Of tie Western
Association, but owing 10 repeated clashes
with the directors, vino wanted to inter
fere with him, he Resigned and accepted
It like position with the Mobile CLUB ot the
Southern League, with which he finished
the season with fair success. He played
first base in Dixie and was great favorite
in the Gulf City. Though Paul has entered
the fortles his eyes are as bright and skin
as ruddy and healthy looking as a young
ster's. He says he feels no impairment OF
his athletic ability whatever, and ridiculcs
the idea OF pampered ball players WHO are
always complaining of sore arms and
harley-horse. As Paul is well fixed i'll
this worlds goods he is not worried about
the future, and says he has no well defined
plans for next season, though he expects
TO play ball as usual. However, he has a
hobby and may put 1t INTO form in tie
spring. He is of the opinion that strong
city league would pay and be of interest
If properly organized and conducted. His
idea is to put the players on salary, and
when the Senators are at home to fill out
side engagements with the clubs in sur
rounding States and in the minor leagues.
Then when the Senators are away, play
return games and a regular schedule at
National Park. The plan would pay If
properly pushed, and Paul's long expert
ence III the business befits him for under
taking the organization and maintenance
| of such league of clubs.
