ington.; Baltimore would make a fight
for 1t, but | think that the majority
of the club owners would vote for the
Capital City in opposition to the home
of the old Orioles. OF course that re
juvenatlon of the opposition party,
which sputtered and gasped last win
ter might change the plans Of the clul
owners. The plans would be ahan
doned entirely providing the players
organization looked with favor upon
the opposition,
The case Of Rusle, the phenomenal
pitcher, is a peculiar one. Had he re
manned in the New York club this year
he would, in all probability, have made
n splendid record. He and Ewing
were old friends, understood each other
thoroughly and the chances are that
his work in the box would have kept
Freedman's tail enders In better
position. Then the troubles of the big
fellow with his wife broke out, and he
deserted the team without notice and
now says that he has abandoned the
green diamond field for good. Rusie
in condition was probably the greatest
pitcher that ever lived. He had all Of
the skill and control of the Keefes,
Clarksons, MERGERS and Grlliths, with
a great deal more speed. Mrs. Rusie
says that Amos went TO the bad as a
husband on account of his associations
on the diamond. a ball player, like an
actor, is exposed to many temptations.
lie is the subject of hero worship. and
If his head it not well balanced his col
lapse is sure. There are always people
about ball grounds who pretend to
think it an honor to have well known
player walk with them into IA drinking
saloon and lean against the bar. They
are the same people who will be the
first to criticse a player on the field
when he does Indifferent work, saying
that he is q drunken loafer because
they have seen him hanging around
saloons. So the average player will
save his reputation and salary by Civ
ing the hero worshlpers a wide berth
when their days work on the field is
over. The diamond loses mighty
pitcher in Rusie, no matter how much
contentment Mrs. Rusie may gain by
his desertion of his chosen profession.
There is a man in the Brooklyn team
this year whose work entities him to
special mention. Arthur Jones has
during the year become one of the
crack Outfelders Of the profession,
Steady, painstaking and earnest, he
has won his spurs fairly His hitting
has been remarkable all the year, as
can be seen when he leads such men as
Keller and Kelley. He has improved
in his base running, and his fielding
has been first class. Jones was a
problem to Hanlon. When Griffin left
the team, there was a wall. Sheckard
and Anderson were both tried, but
neither seemed TO exactly fill the bill.
Then Jones got a chance, and, clever
fellow and great ball player that he is,
he did not allow the opportunity to
slip. He is today one Of the most pop
ular players among the champions.

see tho reduction of the salary limit
and the number of players each club
may reserve at the end of the season.
This intmatlon Of reduction was put
out merely as "feeler' to see how the
players would tal5e it, The players of
the country, knowing that the present
salary limit clause has never been OBJ
served. have read the stories and mere
~ chuckled.
The present salary limit In the Ma
tlonal league is supposed to be $2.4OO
year. Like the alleged limits In the
minor leagues there is not club in
any Of the leagues which has lived up
to the rule The officials of the leagues
know this, and, what is more, the play
ers know IT, The players also know
that nearly every club owner in the
National league is a rich man and that
each made his money out of baseball.
VIII they under these conditions sub
nit TO a reduction of salaries? Not for
n minute.
There is not a club in the big league
today which is not paying from one to
seven players in its team more than
the supposed limit of S2.4O0. In most
cases the players contracts may call
for that amount, but there Is always a
supplementary contract drawn up, In
which the player is guaranteed the
difference. He may get certain bonus
for signing his contract. extra money

or little bonus for abstalning from in
toxlcatlng liquors during the playing
season. Does anybody imagine that
'Mugsey" McGaw of the st. Louis
club is playing baseball for n salary
of $1,000 yearY You could tack an
extra 81 900 on to the limit and not be
far wrong. You can go right down
the list including Delehanty Of Phila-
delphia Nichols Of Boston. Clark Of
Plttsburg. and you would not make a
bad guess If you included the entire
Brooklyn team. The limit Is not ex-
ceedcd much in New York and Boston,
simply because Freedman Is not built
on the generosity plan. and Soden,
Conant and Billings of Boston have
lived in New England long enough to
realize the full value Of the mighty dol
lar. II the question of the reduction
of players ever comes up seriously you
can look to those two clubs, aided by
Plttsburg. to make the strongest fight
for the reduction.
While on the subject of the great
league il might be well to mention that
the magnates are already considering
plans for the practical reorganization
of that body. That old indianapolis
agreement will expire next year and n
new one will have 10 be made. The
conditions IN the metropolis are such
that there are already rumors that
either the New York or the Brooklyn
team Will be left out in the reorganlza-
ton.
II Freedman would consent to dis
pose Of his holdings the scheme already
considered might be carried through.
IL is nothing less than the consolida-
ton of the New York and Brooklyn
clubs, the giving up Of the franchise In
the City Of Churches. and the moving
over from Gowanus to Manhattan OF
the splendid aggregation Of baseball
talent now controlled by Hanlon In
Brooklyn. This would make room for
another city on the eight club circuit.

AS the baseball season progresses
the wise men of the game begin to dis
cuss the innovations and improvements
likely to be introduced before another
season comes around. Those same wise
men are not necessarily the club own
