Interesting nn.ebaII Figures.

The purchase OF the four clubs drop
ped by the National league entails some
interesting figures. The Wagners real
" received $4,000 for their franchise
and players, but the $500 received
for the three players sold to Boston
was deducted. Baltimore was paid
$4,000 for its franchise. Cleveland
got $4,000 and Louisville $4,000 to
get out. This makes total Indebted
ness shouldered by the League Of S1O4,-
600, which is to be paid of in three
years by setting aside 0 per cent Of che
gate receipts.
The first $4,000 secured In this way
will be divided among the four retir-
ing clubs, $4,000 going to each. This
will nquidate the claim Of Louisville,
leaving Washington credited with S29,-
900, Baltimore $4,000 and Cleveland
$4,000. After that the money will be
divided between Washington and Bal
timore until their claims are wiped
out, which will take two years, it is
expected.
During the third year the Cleveland
people Will get their $4,000 provided
that In the meantime the League does
not dispose of the Cleveland franchise.
In the event of the franchise being
sold prior to the commencement OF the
third year then the money received
will be paid over to the RObinsons.

One Cause of Poor Flavor.


It has been a matter Of considerable
wonder why the scores of butter at
the national conventions are lower
than they are at the state conventions.
The probability has been stated to be-
In favor Of better scores in February
than I'm November. but the facts are
the other way. and it has puzzled our
theorists To reconcile probability with
fact.
Since there are supposed 10 be fewer
fresh cows IN November than in Feb
ruary and since fresh COWS are gen
orally credited with the production OF
the finest flavor, it has puzzled the
savants to account for lower scores AT
the later date. But why limit to these
two dates? Is it not a general fact
that the longer cows are kept IN the
barn and fed on stored feed the more
ant the flavor Is 10 be Off The barns
get more aud more infected with germs
and the forage gets older and more
musty and, with the same care regard
Ing cleanliness and feeding, there VIII

naturally expect. and we may look for
stable nayors until the COWS are allow
