THE BASEBALL DREAMS
ST. LOUIS NOW LIGHTS THE PIPE AND
TELLS THE STORY.
An Association Next Year-Watkins Is
to Manage the Cincin.
natl Team.

An Associated Press dispatch was yester-
day sent out from ST. Louis stating that the
project TO organize a baseball association
TO represent that city in the proposed
American Association was perfected yester-
day, and that the club, which is to be
called the ST. Louis Browns, will be organ
lied in time to take the field early next
season.
According to the story, Van der Ahe's old
Sportsman's Park has already been secured
and will be revamped and called Athletic
Park, and the new est Louis Baseball AS
ISOLATION will receive the park lease free
Of all membranes.
The general major league situation, as
described from st. Louis. is that in 1900
there will be two big leagues, known as the
National League and the American Associa-
ton respectively. The former will include
clubs in the following cities: Boston,
Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Pittsburg. Chicago.
Cincinnati, St. Louis and Louisville, while
American Association clubs will be placed in
New York. Philadelphia, Baltimore, WASH
ington, Buffalo, Detroit. Chicago and St.
Louis.
John T.. Brush, who, ii is said, has been
in consultation with Hart and Robson con-
corning the formation of the proposed new
league or leagues, left the city last night
without expressing any opinion on the mat
ter. 1t was rumored that he had gone to
Chicago. but Manager Comiskey, of the St.
Paul team, with whom Brush was in con-
sultation during the day. said that he had
announced his intention of going to Gin
cinnnati. Manager Comiskey, who has been
closeted with President Ban Johnson for
the past two days. joined his team here yes
terday. He said that while he had heard much
talk Of the new league, none of 1t was of
character to lead to the belief that there
was much behind 1t. On one point he was
positive; that the Western League would be
doing business with the same cities it now
has, and any plan the part of out
sders to put clubs in Buffalo and Detroit
would be resented by the Western League,
which is party to the National agreement
by which its territory is guaranteed to it.
Manager Comiskey also announced that
he had closed a deal for the service of
Catcher Harry Vaughn, whose ten days
notice of release from the Cincinnati team
expires Saturday.

ing the University-square site for the new

There is some sentiment in the church that
the new edifce should not be located farther
south than Tenth or Eleventh street, and
some are in favor of going even farther
north than Sixteenth street.
Members IF Plymouth Church feel that
should that congregation decide TO continue
as an institutional church, the new building
ought 10 be located "a nearly In the central
part of the city as possible.

GOOD NIGHT FOR SLEEP.
A Heavy Shower Ended a Very Sultry
Afternoon.

The day had been long and hot.
The street-car rails, FURNISHED as IL with
emery, reflected the rays of the merciless
sun, and the pavements seemed at a white
heat.
Heels sank into the softened asphalt, and
men wondered whether this was the fact
or the heat and their close attention to
business had not brought on paresis or some
other as mysterious and horrible mental
disease.
The writer of humorous weather stories
ran his tongue over his parched lips, grinned
horribly and dragged from the files of his
mind a story he had written last summer.
even as the indolent preacher gives to his
flock an old sermon.
But In the evening rain FELL beginning
with great, FLASHING drops and ending in
the midst of pour. And there official
promise of more rain on the morrow.
What lovely rain!' exclaimed the
housewife, smiling with joy.
This is good for the farmers" said the
workingman finishing his supper.
The philosopher sat at an open window
and breathed deeply the freshened air.
This will be good night to Sleep" he
said.

There has never been political
campaign that will equal in import
ance that of the one to be fought
next year. The Republican party,
backed by the money power Of this
country and Europe, is alert and
aggressive. Flushed with the vic
tory of three years ago it will seek
by every means in its power to
maintain its supremacy.
Democrats must be up and doing.
They must wage an unceasing war
upon their enemies. In no better
and more effective way can this be
done than by the circulation of good,
sound Democratic newspapers.
The publisher of THE CHICAGO
DISPATCH, will send to every new
subscriber for three months a copy
of THE CHICAGO DISPATCH for
ten cents. II you are not already
taking this great political weekly,
send in ten cents at once. You
should not only do this yourself,
but you should induce all your
