Mr.. Brush's Plan for Three Base
Ball Leagues.
SUCCESS OF GOLDEN EAGLE BOWLERS
San Francisco Man Wants the Big
Fight.
MARLBOROUGH CONTEST

Before leaving New York for home yes
terday John T. Brush gave out for the first
time his plans for the reconstruction of
base ball under one powerful national
agreement.
With the major league cut down to an
ideal eight-club circuit Mr.. Brush proposes
to divide the country into eastern and west
ern leagues, in this way covering the entire
base ball territory for at least the next
five years, all clubs would have to sign
a strong agreement to that effect
The feature of the Brush plan would be
an intersection championship struggle each
year. the two crack minor leaguers meet
ing for an exchange of games. two at home
and two away, deciding the honors by total
games won or lost as sections, thus giving
the tail-end clubs at the close of a cham
pionship season in the east a chance for
team honorS later on.
Mr.. Brush claims that interest in minor
league races dies out early in the season.
and the clubs usually lose money, where by
playing sort of championship season of,
say, three and one-half months, the inter-
section contest would revive new inter-
est. and thereby give the players a longer
seasons engagement, and the promoters of
the sport a better chance to make money
1t would also give the people chance to
see the work of the rising young talent of
both sections.
When the national board changed its
agreement last week to pay 1000 for the
ieieaSe OF CLASS "A payer ana allowed the
minors chance to hold their men two
years instead of one. 1t was making a play
for the Brush plan, all agreed it was the
one move to head OFF new rivals in the base
ball business.
After giving out his scheme Mr. Brush
said: Under the conditions 1 have named
L have several friends who would like to
put money into base ball in most any of
the cities figured out as possibilities. No
doubt in the list of cities now selected we
may find lack of enthusiasm among the
owners at the start. There is, however, a
number of good available cities not named

OF Southwest College wrote a poem
which he thought was all right, and
which he offered tc the Century Mag.
azine for publication. His wife. Ida
Aheborn Weeks, made fun of his liter
airy aspirations, and kept telling him
about the fall which lay in wait for
his vanity. In due time, however, an
acceptance came from the magazine
accompanied by check for $40, and
then that man began to lord 1t over
the woman. Finally she got mad, and
declared she could write better poetry
than he with one hand tied behind her
and to prove 1t she indited a piece and
sent it to the Century. Almost at once

HE LIVES IN LUXURY.
Yet Albert Crosby Files Petition
in Bankruptcy.
SAYS HE OWNS ONLY HIS CLOTHING.
Gave All His Property to His wife
Years Ago, and Now Lives Upon
Her DOunty-Owes City of
Chicago 100000.

New York, July 12.-Albert Crosby,
of Brewster, Mass, and formerly rick
and prominent in Chicago, where he
owned Crosby's opera house and the Nc
Avoy Brewing company, was examined
in bankruptcy proceedings here Tues
day. In his petition he described his
assets as consisting of a few old clothes.
He lives in a handsome home ON Cape
Cod. Mrs. Crosby testified that she
owns the estate at Brewster, has $780,
600 cash in bank, mortgages for $16O, 900
more, real estate valued at $4,000 and
furniture and paintings valued at $12,-
900, besides her claim for $50, 900 against
Mr.. Crosby for advances made by her
to him from time to time. Mr.. Crosby
said he had owned nothing since 1875,
when he gave his all to his wife. Since
then he has lived by borrowing from
her, he asserts. They usually spend the
winters abroad and the summers at
Brewster.
Mr.. Crosby was ON the bond of David
A. Gage, city treasurer of Chicago, who
defaulted in very large sum. BY buy
ing timber lands and making barrels
in Indiana Mr. Crosby contracted debts
of 100000 in that state, Judgments
were obtained against him in Indiana,
and the city of Chicago also got judg-
ment for 100000. IT was found that he
had no assets.
Gave All to His Wife.
On examination Tuesday he said he
was very fond of his second wife and
very grateful to her for saving many
of his most valuable paintings at the
time of the fire. Therefore he gave her
property, Real estate, railway and
brewing stocks were all turned over to
her. He retained only his position as
vice president of the NlcAvoy Brewing
company, and in that capacity as an
employe of corporation in which he
had no interest drew salary of 81 900
a month and travelled in Europe. He
and his wife remained abroad several
years and were lost sight of. Four
years ago Judge Winfield, while spend
ing summer on Cape Cod, was taken
TO Brewster to see some of the show
places there. Among others was the
Crosby art gallery. The name of Cros-
by is common there and did not attract
his attention, but the chief picture in
the gallery, Biersladt's SIN the Yose-
mite" is not common. Judge Winfield
had seen it often in Chicago. Being the
lawyer for the Jerolomon estate, one
of the largest Indiana creditors, Judge
Winfield Immediately began suit in
Massachusetts, and secured judgments
there against Mr.. Crosby, which the SUI
preme court of the state has recently
affirmed. Mr.. Crosby then came to this
city, and, claiming residence here, filed
petition in bankruptcy.

Losses of Cotton.

Austin, Tex. July 12.-The cotton ex-
change in this city has completed the
work OF carefully tabulating the losses
to the cotton crop attendant upon the
Brazos river flood. They find that the
loss in the Brazos bottom will represent
100000 bales of cotton, representing ST.
100000 loss. They also find that the
heavy rains which produced the flood
and ruined the crops in the bottom have
benefited cotton growing on the upper
lands proportionately so that by far
the best crop harvested in years will be
produced from the uplands this sea-
son, and they predict that the floods
will have had little effect on the cot
ton yield of Texas.
