parks in Baltimore, Washington and Louis
vile. and by adding these cities and In
dianapolis the twelve cities would be Sc
cured for the circuit Buffalo was also
mentioned, but the report has it that In
dianapolis would be more desirable.
1t is hardly believed, however, that the
National League will go back to the twelve
club circuit. In order to increase the cir
cult again the differences with the Players
Protective Association would have to be
amicably settled there could not be
enough talent secured for twelve clubs,
and there is danger of the eight clubs suf-
fering unless the differences are satisfac-
torily arranged But the report of Indian
apols being considered as National League
territory is significant and will no doubt
have great bearing on the American League
club owners when they meet to decide on
the eighth city for the circuit. President
Watkins has received no official notice of
the American League meeting to be held in
Chicago. and it is probable that the meet
ing may not be held until after the holidays
unless the National League comes to an
agreement with the players.

jerome HerR, of Peru, Against it
A New Candidate.

Jerome Herff, Of Peru, who was a candl-
date for treasurer of state on the Demo-
cratic ticket i'm the last campaign. is OPP
posed to a primary election law. Il have
reason to know something about law
OF this kind" he said at the Grand Hotel
last night, because we have nominated
our ticket in Miami county in this way
since 1Sso--that is, the Democrats have used
this means of selecting a ticket. We use
the Australian ballot system, and, speak
ing from our experience with IL, L don't
believe "A primary election law would be
q success. The greatest trouble we find
with the law is that the people are too
likely to bunch their candidates. L have
known two and three candidates to be NOM
mated from the same township This Is
very likely 10 cause soreness H. some other
quarters of the county. The most densely
populated tow nship would naturally fur
Iish the most candidates, and IL has seemed
impossible in our county to distribute the
candidates as they should b. Besides this
the expense OF carrying on primary cleo
ton would be heavy Ii would probably
cost s., 600 in each county.

NEW YORK, Dec. ia dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from London says:
Richard Croker has bought Moat House.
Vantage, with much of the surrounding
land. The price is withheld but ii docs
not exceed $4,000. The negotiations were
arranged last summer and the papers were
signed when Mr.. Croker arrived a few
weeks ago. The house is in the hands of
workmen, who are building new additions
and completely remodeling the interior.
The Improvements will cost $500. 1t looks
if Mr.. Croker intended to make his per-
manent home there. Moat House is not a
very attractive place, especially in winter.
as it is four miles from the railway and
two miles from the nearest town, Vantage,
which is a rural village. The house is a
low, two-story brick building, which
Croker is building tower that makes it
mere picturesque and adds considerable
room. The property has had several own
ers in the last fifty years, all of whom have
had some connection with the turf, and
all have been unsuccessful. The house is
considered a turf hoodoo in Berkshire"
