THE NEW srRoUsE, Adler 90.
Reorganization Goes lntO Effect 10.
morrow, Max Adler Mt the Head.

Max Adler, Of the firm of Strouse,
Adler & Co., last night confirmed the
report which has been going about re-
Gently to the effect that the firm was
about to be reorganized. Mr. Adler
stated that the reorganization would
take effect tomorrow, and that A.
Strouse of New York would retire from
the firm. Mr.. Strouse and Mr.. Adler
have been associated in business for
thirty-five years. Mr.. Strouse Is a
wealthy man and for five years has
contemplated retiring from active bus
mess until now he has finally decided
to do So Mr.. Adler will be at the head
of the reorganized firm, which will pre-
serve the old firm name of Strouse,
Adler &s Co. The concern is -co-part-
nership and will SO remain.
Several younger men who have been
employed in the business here and in
the New York house will be taken into
the new firm, but Mr.. Adler stated last
night that he could not say definitely
who these would be as the arrange
ments were not entirely completed. The
young members of the new firm are
thoroughly acquainted with the bust
ness and are prepared to assist Mr..
Adler in keeping up the successful bus
iness of this one of the largest corset
manufacturing firms in the world.
The business will be enlarged, al
though the plant will not be enlarged
in the immediate future. The new firm
will go into exporting more than the
old firm has hitherto There will be
no break caused in the business by the
reorganization, as an inventory haa al
ready been taken. The New York store
of the firm at 412 Broadway, New
York, will be continued.
Mr. Adler said last night that the
reorganization had nothing to do with
going into any corset trust In fact,
he said that there was no corset trust,
and there was not likely to be one.
Among the younger men who. have
been for a number of years employed
in the business of Strouse, Adler & Co.
are Colonel ]. M. Ullman, Frederick M.
Adler, son of Max Adler, and Police
Commissioner Louis M. UIIman.

zen as well as successful business

tive management of one Of the largest
Industries Of the city is a cause Of
qualification to his many friends.

Cincinnati will also go onto the diamond

would be hard to beat the pitching depart

results.
Pittsburg will retain the same players as
last year, and the rest of the teams will

among their men, and they should make
a good showing. 9s
A team Of star players does not necessa-
riiy make winning team, but the pres
ence on the field of one more record
champions goes far to attract the public
For instance, a team composed of men who
have led in one or more departments will
be drawing card. The new Brooklyn
team will contain several men who stood
at the top last season. Keller, who held
the batting record for 1S9S,. will occupy a
the game will be anxious to see if a change
of climate will affect his work at the bat.
Star Players of the League.
1t may be difficult matter to pick out
the stars in the league. Each club has a
few. OF the shortstops Davis, Long and
Jennings will probably have little diff
Guilty In maintaining their standing with
the public. Last season the following men
stood at the head of the record In their
relative positions. and they will this year
be pretty equally distributed among the
leading clubs:
First base, Beckley, Cincinnati; second
base. Rcitz. Pittsburg: third base, Wallace,
cleveland; shortstop. Jennings. Brooklyn;
fin. Cleveland; right field, Tiernan, New
York Delahanty. Philadelphia, led In base
stealing, and Ritchey. Louisville in sacri-
nee hits There were a number of other
players who were a close second, and any
one Of them may jump to the front in his
department this season. Il
The branch of the game In which the
Evening star., 1899-04-01

public probably takes the most interest is
in batting. A good batting contest is de-
light to the faithful rooters' hearts. A plan
has been discussed and will probably be car
ried out which will tend to increase this
feature of the game. 1t is the purpose to
furnish special ball to be used in the
league games; a ball which will contain a
greater percentage of rubber than those
heretofore in use. The result Is obvious,
and the patrons of base ball may look for
more work on the part of the fielders.
Another rule has been adopted to prevent
waste of time and shorten the games.
The pitcher will not be allowed to make a
feint to throw to base. The motion to
throw must be followed by the actual de-
livery of the ball to the baseman. This will
doubtless increase the base-stealing record.
Another rule. which applies to the catch
er, will be enforced this season He cam
not, as heretofore, step in front of the bat
ter to secure hunted ball, but must remain
in his position behind the home plate.
Last seasons experience taught the ad-
visibility of separating the players from
the patrons in the grand stand. Too much
opportunity for conversation between the
two has often led to disorder. This season
the players benches will be far enough
away from the stand to obviate this evil.
Changes in the Umpire system.
An umpire may be fined or suspended for
a violation of his trust, or may be removed
if the offense is sufficiently aggravated
The appointment of an efficient staff of
annoying delays and breaches of discipline
to which the patrons of the sport had OBJ
jected in the past.
The schedule for this year contains 154
games for each club-the same last sea-
son. This will make the season extend
from April Is to October Is. Each club
will make four trips and play fourteen
games with every other club.
There has been talk of dropping various
clubs and the reduction of the circuit to
eight teams. The league season will begin
with twelve clubs, as heretofore. but there
may be changes before the end. All de-
pends on the course of affairs during the
spring and early summer. The advocates
of the eight-club league say that there are
enough star players to make up eight teams
that would have the hottest kind of a fight
for each seasons honors, but that there
are not enough for twelve good clubs. OF
course, a crack base ball player cannot be
made to order. He is partly the result of
training. but more largely of a combination
of quickness, a sure eye and good judg
ment. These are the essentials of q sue
cessful base ball player, whatever his posi-
ton, and particularly In the batting depart
ment of the game. The minor leagues and
college teams, from which reinforcements
are chiefly drawn have not contributed as
many men to the big teams in the past two
or three seasons as they did for some time
before. Consequently, there is the cry of
dearth of base ball talent. If it proves to
be We'll founded the reduction in the num-
occur, as it will be more profitable and in
teresting to have eight star clubs in the
eight largest cities than twelve mediocre
teams in larger territory

changes are believed to be for the good of
the game. taking the needs and pessibli-
ties of the whole country into considera-
ton.
Aside from these transfers there will be
few important changes in the personnel of
the different clubs. The Boston team,
which has for the past two seasons
carried off the championship, remains prac-
tically the same as last year. It's play
ers are well seasoned, to be depended
upon, and play together Individual and
star playing is we'll enough and pleases

these teams to retain first and second

on the home grounds, arrangements may
be made whereby the Baltimore team will
play their home games at some place where
the patronage will satisfy the management.
To Have a Star Team.
The Brooklyn team of 1899 will be hard
aggregation to beat out. 1t will contain
probably more star players than any other
nine in the league, and great results are
looked for. There is no denying 1t, the
patrons Of the game in Greater New York
are tired OF being represented by two teams
which made no better showing than did the
Brookiyns and New Yorks last year.. They
want team which will play good, snappy
base ball.
A base ball enthusiast said to me the
other day: Building up the Brooklyn
team will be sure to boom the game in this
part of the country. What we want is a
team we can be proud of: one We can do
some yelling over. If the boys are beaten
at the finish, We want to have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that the other fellows had
to hustle to do it. / have been regular
attendant at the Polo grounds, but l am of
mind and there are thousands Just like
me, to go over to Brooklyn if the New
Yorks give us another sample like last
year. What we want is winning team to
represent the Greater New York.
Teams of Other Cfties.
The New Yorks will remain the same as
last year and they can put up a first-class
game Of ball, something which will be hard
to beat. George Davis will occupy his old
position at shortstop, and every one knows
