great robber dug him up?"
Mr. Corbett, however, made an ex-
PLANTATION that put the thing in another
light. He said that although he had
charge of the affair, it was not a gath
ering of has beens' at all, but a con-
vention of every one interested in pu-
gilism who wishes to establish a pen
sion fund to provide for those who are
not strong enough to stand up in the
ring and be punched.
"All the leading pugihsts in the coun-
try have Joined the movement" said
he. 1T is grand and noble charity
The public should sympathize with our
plans to bury fighters. We have al
ready inferred several gentlemen Of
the ring, and we hope to bury large
number more before a great while
Mr.. Corbett has been very tactful in
his arrangements. All the old-time
fighters whom he intends to benefit
were induced to accept invitations on
the strength of the statement that they
ought to be present to give their moral
Endorsement to a plan to benefit the
other fellows
"If the Sportsman's fund feeds all
the hungry pugilists around New York,
who used to be of some account, it will
need pretty large kitchen" said a

SOMETHING IN THE WIND.
Base Ball Men Say Little of the Con-

Base Ball Men Say Little of the Con-
ference Recently Held at Buffalo.
There is something stirring in the
Eastern league which may affect the
circuit, President P. T. Powers of the
league and President Farrell of the
New York State league had a confer
ence at Rochester, N Y, day or two
ago. President Franklin of the West
ern league, who belongs in Buffalo, was
to have been a party to the conference,
but was detained at Buffalo by duties
pertaining to his office as aldermen He
gave President Powers of the Eastern
league power to- act for him in the
matter under consideration. Just what
the matter was, none of the officials
present would give out. Many guesses
have been made, but none of them show
any foundation over the others.
The question of Sunday base ball was
one of the matters discussed concern
ing which there was little secrecy. The
Wrigley matter was also brought up
although what action was taken is not
known. IT is limited that the possibin-
ty of the new base ball association
breaking into the circuits of the East
ern and Western leagues was also dis
cussed and that it was for such reason
the official Of the New York state league
was present.

WHERE SHALL THE TRUSTS FIND
LEADERS?

Between the capacity to run an ave
rage corporation and the capacity to
run corporation of five or ten times
the magnitude there is no calculaple
relation. Yet many of the trusts nave
RI denend for their success on thatvery
unknown quality of talent 1t cannot
be extemporized nor made In amontn
or a year. It is an open secret tnat
several trusts are at the present mo-
ment suffering keenly from this want
of ability to match the exigencies Of
the reorganization. A group OF cor
porations may have amongst its man
ayers a man TO match the new duties,
but 1t requires time and repeated tests
TO be assured of this. 1t requires time
to persuade other directors who think
well of themselves, to admit the SUI
periority Of another and yield to 1t.

and oil combinations came slowly and
naturally to their positions; but what
likelihood is there of extemporizing the
