UNDER LEAGUE CONTROL.
Trouble for Objectionable Purcnas-

New York. Dec. 30.-The story to the ef-
feet that the league will probably control
the franchise in St Louis in case the club
is bought in at the receivers sale by per-
sons who may be Objectionable to the mag
mates was corroborated by Mr.. AbelI, of
the Brooklyn club. When asked what he
knew about the matter he said:
The report, wherever 1t came from. is true.
heard the matter discussed at the recent netting
here. and ! know that the league has adopted
definite policy. From what | can learn. there
is only who will be acceptable 10 the
league, and that Is Robson. Of Cleveland. II he
can get the club he will receive the franchise and
can then take his strong ball team to that city
without obstruction. As the league seems de-
termined to strengthen the ST. Louis end OF
the circuit, and as Robson has team that brings
il anything happens Tcbeau's players will rep
resent St. Louis next season later.
II is rather precarious business To buy
league ball club unless one feels that he
receive the right to play ball with the other
teams in the circuit. Those who would like to
buy the ST Louis club have not received assur-
anee that they will be accepted BY the league,
consequently they would do well not to jump
at conclusions. The present twelveclub compact
has three wears TO run. II. at the end Of that
time. the st. Louis club should still be financial
loser because of poor management there is no
doubt in my mind that the city would be dropped
from the proposed new eightclub circuit, another
town like Milwaukee Detroit being substituted.
In response to a telegram asking him
whether he would try TO take his team to
st. Louis. Robson wired from Cleveland
| today that he would not be a bidder at the

MARKET PEOPLE swINDLED.
Joseph McIrose Must Answer to
Serious Charge.

A peculiar case of obtaining money aid
market goods under false pretenses was
brought to the attention of the police Of
the First precinct station last evening.
Policeman Berman arrested Joseph Mel
rose In the vicinity of the Center Market.
Melrose is twenty-five years old and claims
to be a laborer. The police have been
watching him for some time.
He went to the Center Market it seems
and obtained large number of chickens
and eggs from Louisa Boswell. who is
from Prince George County. Maryland
He told the market woman that he would
be back in few minutes to pay for the
goods, and placing them in a wagon, drove
away. He visited the place of business of
Golden, Love G. Co., commission mer-
chants. where he disposed of the goods
Shortly afterward he was arrested.
When searched the man had in his
pocket a receipt made out to him by Col
den, Love & Co.. showing that he had sold
one coop containing twenty-five chickens
for S9.45 two hens for 40 cents and eight
cen dozen eggs for s4.14. receiving in pay
ment the sum of s9.5S Melrose had S96
in cash on his person. The case will prob
ably be taken to court this morning. The
police assert that Melrose has been ac-
customed to visit the markets and obtain
goods from countrymen on the strength
of his assertion that he was a merchant or
with the promise of returning soon and
settling his account.

Asbury Park, n. j., Dec. S0.-If Mccoy
does not win his fight with Tom Sharkey
on January 10 it will not be because he
has neglected his training. Long morning
walks and active bag punching and spar
ring and rope skipping in the afternoon

This morning the Kid carried his "med-

spent some time with a number OF young
men tossing the sphere. He did his hard

fatigue him. Mccoy still adheres to his
determination to keep Corbett from wit
Messing the fight. and will make serious
objection if the Californian is allowed in
the building.
In McCoy's mail today was letter from
Pennsylvania Railroad employe in Jersey
City. He urged the Kid to exercise on a
hand brake on a passenger coach. as this
would develop his back, arms and legs
Mccoy is thinking seriously of trying the
experiment.
Several letters attacking Tom O'Rourks

warning Mccoy to look out for him. Little

Ans.--As there is no difference in the price, the

profits may be smaller single sale, they will
be much greater in the aggregate.
How you get the public to know your make

If both articles brought prominently before
