The last turn of the baseball wheel de-
veloped condition Of affairs that was not
unexpected to those who have kept in touch
with League matters. The establishment
Of two elght-club circuits has been for
some time a pet scheme Of the magnates
This contamination so devOutly desired has
! been realized sooner than was expected
| and was brought about undoubtedly by
threats Of a rival organization.
! II is the opinion OF well informed men
| that the present arrangement is q solution
OF the unfortunate situation which has pre-
! vailed in the National League for the past
three years. II has been clearly demon
strated that 4 twelve-club league was IN
weldy and necessarily unsatisfactory and
expensive. The disparity in playing
strength between the large and small cities
was one OF the chief causes Of complaint.
Cities like Chicago. St Louis. Philadelphia,
and New York, by reason Of their metro
politan environments. were enabled to en-
ploy the very best talent procurable, while
the smaller cities. with less population,
were forced to keep themselves within the
order to avoid a loss. by the present ar
rangements the clubs will be more evenly
matched in playing strength and in cOnse
queuce the exhibitions will be more pleas
ing and entertaining to the patrons.
The personnel OF the teams that are to
compose the new association will be made
up with the surplus players Of the four
clubs that have been dropped from the Ma
tional Lague. numbering about one hundred
and fifty players, and in forming the new
association these surplus men will be util-
lied as far as possible or as ii is desir-
able. In temporarily surrendering the Ma
tional League rights. the Wagners trans
ferred all Of their players. therefore it viii
be necessary for them to select and sign
an entirely new team for this city. and It
is probable that some Of the better remain
ing players from last seasons team will
be secured. Earl Wagner said last night
that he would have as manager a ball
player who would be in the game and who
is recognized throughout the country as
a star. and whose hustling prOpensities are
well established.
The new association clubs will play uoOn
the grounds OF the National League on
dates that will not conflict with National
League games.
The indications. from the present out
look, are that the people of Washington
will witness more enjoyable games of ball.
il not better than heretofore. for the rea-
son, as stated. that the strength Of the
clubs will be more evenly distributed
Wagner expects to have a team under
contract within the next ten days, when
the prelimnaries for an active campaign
will at once begin.
Harry Won der Horst will manage the
Baltimore end and as the Baltimore club
did not transfer their players he will have
no trouble in getting a team together
which will be charge Of McGraw and Rob
inson, provided these players do not go to
St Louis. Full details Of the makeup of
the several clubs that are to compose the
new association will be made public in a
few days

THE BILLS DEFECTIVE.
Report of the commissioners on the
Pneumatic Tube Project.


The Commissioners yesterday sent re-
ports TO the District Committees Of both
houses OF Congress on The bills referred to
them. providing for the laying Of pneu-
matte tubes between the Capitol and the
Government Printing once
In their letters transmitting the reports
the Commissioners say that they are una
ware OF the desires Of the authorities of
the Capitol building or OF the Government
Printing Office regarding the establishment
OF the pneumatic tube service between the
two buildings. and they do nor feel it to
be within their province TO report on this
phase OF the subject
The Commissioners. however invite at
tention 10 the language used in Senate bill
327S and House bill s62S in which the
commission named In the bills is au-
thorized to designate the streets. ave
nues. and public grounds through which
pneumatic tubes shall be laid and to pre-
scribe such other conditions and require
ments as may seem reasonab BILE 20 them to
impose Another section Of the bills. say
the Comml ssioners contains similar pro-
vision, stating that said officers are en-
powered 10 consent 10 the opening Of such
streets. avenues public ways. or public
sary by the person or corporation to whom
the contract may be awarded" With ref
erence 20 these provisions he Commls-
sioners are Of The opinion that specific
routes should be named in the bills. Word
ed as they now are the bills authorize the
commission named 10 pass upon indef-
mite extensions Of the system and also
clothe The commission with many duties
now exercised by the Commissioners Of the
Of T-Tfrrrffg - ha1f
should remain under their jurisdiction
For instance say the Commissioners. Il IS
believed that they should retain the right
70 prescribe the location OF any construc-
tion in he public streets the manner in
which the work shall be carried on and
the restoration Of the streets to proper
condition after he work is completed leav-
ing 20 the officials IN charge Of public
buildings and grounds he same rights
within their boundaries.
The Commissioners emphasize the fact
that the bills are Carelessly drawn aud
if hey are TO receive favorable considera-
ton they should be modified and rewritten.
However, as he main features Of the
project relate to matters outside the juris-
diction OF the Commissioners. they DO not
feel called upon to indicate the changes
which IN their judgment ought 10 be made
on House bill 25sl The Commissioners
suggest that 10 the pneumatic service con-
templaJed in the measure is desired. n
would be advisable TO allow competition IN
the construction rather than 20 award the
work by Law 20 a particular company The
bill under consideration they say. would
not permit competition.
Furthermore. the Commissioners hold
that the bill is 100 vague and indefinite in
!ts present form 10 be safely enacted into
Law and they are OF the opinion that ii
should be carefully rewritten and proper
safeguards inserted before final action Is
taken
