NEW BASE BALL LEAGUE
CIRCUIT OF PAYING CITIES IN THE
NEW NATIONAL ASSOCIATION.
Joe Kelley Booked for This City and
by Other Clubs.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
PHILADELPHIA, October 24.-The New
National Base Ball Association, which fall
ed to materialize last winter owing to lack
of financial support in Philadelphia, has
profited by that experience, and Its ennis
saries have put in a busy summer among
National League players. The circuit, which
will be composed of eight clubs, will prob
ably be made up follows: Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Washington, Boston, St. Louis,
Detroit. Chicago and Milwaukee in the
west. This will give a strong circuit, and
many prominent National League players
will be found with the new organization.
The various clubs have selected their
managers, and Brooklyn's champion team
will supply three, in addition to many of
its players. Hugh Jennings may be at the
head of the Philadelphia club. Kelley will
handle the Washington team and Lave
Cross will have charge of st. Louis. Mug
sy'' McGraw of this years st. Louis club
will again blossom out as manager, and
will take the Baltimore franchise, with
Catcher Robinson. The remaining man
are well known base ball men who have
had years of experience on the diamond.
The Players Protective Association is in
accord with the new league. and most OF
It's members will be induced to jump If
they can see good financial backing for
the clubs. The players association has not
made public many of it's plans, but its
members have been kept fully informed
as to the new leagues proceedings. The
Brooklyn club promises to be the principal
loser in the matter of players, no fewer
than nine of its men having promised to
jump to the latest organization. If 1t loses
such men as Pitchers McGinnity, kitson
and Kennedy, Catcher Mcclure, First Base
man Jennings, Shortstop Dahlen, Third
Baseman Lave Cross and Outlelders KEEL
ley, Keller and Jones it will be a death
blow to the club and the chances are that
these stars will secede Other clubs viii!
also suffer, but not SO badly. Nearly all
the Cincinnati players are dissatisfied with
their treatment by President John T. Brush,
the advocate of clean ball playing, and
have expressed their willingness to take a
jump. Chicago will lose several of its
best players, including two pitchers. Pitts
burg will be minus two of It's star twirlers,
who did so much to land the team in sec
ond place. Three of Phladelphias play
ers are said to have promised their services
and men from other clubs have also given
their words to join the league.
If the organizers can secure convenient
grounds and can show good backing they
will have as many players as they need,
and there is no reason why they should
not be successful. Their motto will be
clean ball playing. the elimination OF all
rowdyism and more liberal terms to the
players in the matter of reservation. Ihey
have noted the faults Of the National
League during the past season, ana
remedy will be found for each difficulty,
including the support Of umpires by all the
club owners.

DEMURRAGE CHARGES.
An Important Opinion by the Inter
state Commerce Commission.

An important ny the 1hter-
state Commerce Commission.
The interstate commerce commission in
an opinion by Commissioner Clements has
announced its decision in the case of the
PENNSYLVANIA Millers' State Association
against the Philadelphia and Reading Rail-
way Company and others. The commission
holds in this case that forty-eight hours Is
an unreasonably small allowance of time for
unloading where any portion of such time
has to be consumed in attending to the
preliminaries necessarily antecedent to the
actual process Of unloading. AS to grain,
flour hay and feed consigned to and de-
liyerable at interior points in the territory
of the Philadelphia Car Service Associa-
tion the carriers are required to cease and
desist from charging demurrage until the
expiration of a reasonable time for unload
ing after the cars have been placed for I'M
loading and notice of such placing has
been given the consignee or other proper
party.
The commission further holds that forty
eight hours is a reasonable time for the
actual unloading.
The commission also decides that by sec
ton one of the act toaregulate commerce
storage is named as a service in connection
with transporta ton, and the charges there
for are required to be reasonable and just;
that the schedule of rates required by sec
tion six of the act to be printed, posted and
flied with the commission should state,
among other terminal charges. the rules
and regulations, If any, Of the carrier, in
relation to storage
