The National League, as it exists to-
day, is an instrument that is sadly out
of tune. The pipes that are most squeaky
are those called Louisville and ST. Louis
1t is extremely doubtful if these coulI be
utilized to any appreciablc extent in the
Western League. The national people
would be money In pocket had they re-
placed these two useless appendages long
ago, or got rid of them altogether at any

the matter is they can not work together
for the same club. If Mr.. Freedman de-
