been in force about IA years and it has
been thoroughly satisfactory to the
greater league as well as the smaller
ones. Under it, the minor leagues have
become schools for the training of play
ers for the National league. They have
been protected in their rights as against
each other; and the best evidence of the
value of the agreement to them is the
fact that we are getting applications
for membership from small leagues all
the time. 1t is fair to the, player be-
cause, while it places him under strict
rules and makes it impossible to play
anywhere but in the club to which he is
assigned it gives him promotion and
increased pay with each enforced
change; and we have yet to see the
player who preferred TO stay in a smaller
club at small pay rather than be ad-
vanced into club of a higher grade at
better pay. 1t is in fact the ambition of
every baseball player to become mem
Der of the National league and the sys-
TEN of promotion under the national
agreement makes it certain that if a
player is worth employment in one of
the National league clubs he will sooner
or later get there.
In figuring on the financial prospects
of the coming season, of course, base
baN managers are counting on the bet
ter times which have been promised to
us. But hard times don't make such a
difference in the baseball season as in
some other business enterprises. If the
summer is very busy, people in New
York and Boston and other great com
mercial cities cannot get away from
their Offices to go TO the game. If the
season is dull, they have plenty of time
for amusement in the afternoon and the
cost OF seeing baseball game is not SO
serious a matter that it is going to keep
many people away even if the times are
hard. The matter of business activity,
of course, does not affect Washington,
where there are $4,000 or Il, 900 men and
women from the departments that have
finished their labors every afternoon
at four o'clock. There the popularity
of the home club makes the success of
the season. And the matter of business

A LETTER FROM PRESIDENT
YOUNG.


The baseball season for 1897 opens
April 90 in every city but Boston. There
the first game will be played April 10,
which is state holiday. The game
will be between Boston and Philadel-
phia, and it will count in the cham
pionship series. The opening games of
April 90 will be played in Baltimore,
Washington and Philadelphia in the
east, and Cincinnati, st. Louis and
Louisville in the west.
The outlook for the season is encour-
aging from sporting and also from n
financial viewpoint. The season of 1896
was success and the season of 1897
promises even better. In 1896 the clubs
were of more nearly uniform strength
than in former years and were fairly
we'll punched throughout the season.
This year the division of strength is
even better, 1 think. This is due to the
fact that managers of clubs have seen
the necessity of strengthening the
weaker organizations if the season is
to be made interesting and profitable.
The proposition to equalize the strength
of the clubs by dividing up the players
already suggested by some writers not
long ago, did not meet with success be-
cause, while managers recognized the
fact that it might be good policy to dc
this under certain conditions, they had
to take into account the possibilities OF
accident. \ farsi GIFTED manager will
always keep extra strength in his team
to provide against the chance of a
player breaking his arm or being i'll OF
in some other way becoming useless in
the middle of the season.
But the weaker clubs have been re-
cruited from the minor leagues and the
present season shows plainly the value
of the national agreement not only to
the minor organizations but to the Ma
+ional league. That agreement has
