BASE BALL BRIEFS.

The Detroit club may take on Leewe,
now that Elberfeld has been suspended
for the rest of the season.
The Cincinnati management is trying to
get Second Baseman Beck, of the To-
ledos, but Strobel refuses to let go.
Gear is doing great work in the field.
His ability to hit makes a hit with the
crowd If he keeps up his fielding record
he may not be called upon to return to
the box.
Second Baseman Erve Beck, of the
Toledo Interstate league team, has been
sold to Brooklyn. Ted Sullivan personally
made the deal at Toledo last night He
offered the Toledo management $500 for
him and take him at once. This was re-
fused, and he was finally disposed of for
$1,000 to go to Brooklyn at the end Of
this playing season. Offers had been re-
ceived for Beck from Rogers, of Phil
adelphia; Brush, of Cincinnati, and the
Minneapolis management. Connie Mack
was after him, too, but was advised to
drop him owing to the fact that he is not
fast enough for big league company.
The base ball season is half over,
and yet the revival OF public interest has
failed to materialize. For two years or
more the attendance has shown a decided
falling off, and those who control the af-
fairs of the national game have been at a
loss to account for it. Last year the ex-
cuse offered was the war, but that will
not answer this season, and yet, If any,
thing, the attendance is in most cases
smaller: In only two cities perhaps.

EIGHT-CLUB LEAGUE.
The Cities Selected Which VIII
Comprise the New Circuit.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. $50 much has
been said in relation to the new base
ball association which Is forming to COM
bat the National league that has been in
the heat of reply to attacks of innuendo
that straightforward statement from
man who has put thousands into the
venture may not be amiss at the present
time and may be interesting. George
Schaefer who Is at the front of the move
ment In st. Louis, discussed the situation
in a dispassionate manner today
The first statement that I want to
make" said Mr.. Schaefer, SIS that the
new American association today is a
thoroughly Independent organization. 1t
has fifteen first-class base ball cities to
choose from. Every one Of them is al
ready supporting a base ball team Of the
f1rst-class, but is anxious to join hands
with US. Getting up our circuit Of eight
clubs is a much easier task than refus-
ing to accept as members the fifteen cities
that want to come in and join US. i
should add that we are determined to
keep our circuit down to eight clubs, four
in the East and four in the West that
our membership Is complete, and that we
have no room for other applicants than
those received and already acted on"
What will be the exact circuit?"
est. Louis, Chicago, Detroit and Buffalo
In the West. and Washington, Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New York in the East,
was the prompt reply.
"And for every city that we have we
have another city to take Its place In
case some Unforeseen accident should de-
velop and cause US to change our base
of operation. AS the matter stands now
1 can see no way on earth for the OPP
position to undermine us anywhere.
"They may try to form an opposition
league, and in that way try to rob US
Of our patronage, but previous expert
ence of that sort proved costly to the
National league folks, and they are not
likely to try 1t again. 1 am so sure OF
my ground and our members are so
firmly intrenched In their present posi-
lions that they stand ready to fight 1t
out with the National league folks in any
city where they may care to do battle
with U.S."
"Is there no chance for a compromise,
and for both the associations to do bust
ness under the so-called national agree
ment?" Mr.. Schaefer was asked.
None on earth that 1 can see.'
1.-THE fundamental principles of the Ma
tional league today are the slavery OF
the players, the reserve rule that makes
a player leave his home and family TO
play amid surroundings that are distaste-
full to him, and last, but by no means
| least, the syndicate system, which during
the season robS one CLUB Oh It's players 70

"Such action as that is un-Amer1can.
unmanly. is opposed to the building up
of the whole organization, benefits the
few, and robs the game Of the rivalry and
the wholesome competition that should
go hand in hand with it.
"Our organization Is to take the place
Of the old American association. That
body was carried on independent of the

what the prospects were for two major
leagues next year and said that there
was little or nothing in the rumors that

was very probable that some changes
would be made, that the number of clubs
in the national league would probably
be cut to eight and that at least two Ma
tlonal eague cities would have homes In
the Western league next year. Just
what two cities he would not say.
When asked in regard to the rumors
that he would not be at the head of the

a bee in his bonnet for the st. Louis

reticent. While he gave the impression
that the rumors were untrue, he would
neither deny nor affirm them.

Gen. Jiminez said he could not leave

work of the day was done by Fred Kohl
in the trotting stake for 2:1S performers.
Kohl sold but third choice to Charley

Dickerson kept him on his feet in good
shape, and he reeled off three heats
handily.
Billie Andrews was always a warm IA
vorite for the pacing stake. and expert

The opening race, the 2:2S trot, was
the contest of the day. Derby Lass and
Volo were the favorites and Tessie s was
an outsider. After Tessie had been
