their second club idea of one year ago,
with some variations thrown in. Last
winter, when this idea was first sprung,
it was intended to have the second
club play upon the National leagues
grounds and to have it use the latter's
surplus players.
This would save the big clubs con-
siderable money in salaries would as
sist the players to improve quicker and
would enable the clubs to get consider
able additional revenue from the parks
when the regular team was away.
While not positively known, ii is not
believed that all the original plan of
this scheme will be carried out. For one
reason the association promoters might
object. and then, too. the National lea
guers doubtless realize that friendly OPP
position and not the slaughter OF an en-
terprising body is what the American
public desires to see.
Granting that the national in taking
up the association crowd does want this
very thing, it is not easy to understand
why the association should have been
preferred over Ban Johnson and his CO.
workers. The American league is com
posed of men who have proved that
they knew how to run base ball or
ganization successfully. while the asso-
citation promoters are nearly all men
who have never had anything to do
with the management of club. and
none of them has had amy experience
in the running of a league.
National league magnates say now
as they have said all along, that they

From the viewpoint of popular patron

successful season. Under these circum
stances it follows that it was financially
d failure also
Not since it's firm establishment in
popular favor in 1875 has professional
baseball had as unsuccessful a season
as it had in 1900. While it is true that,
owing to fierce competition in 1890 and
1891, imitation of salaries and expense
accounts. the cub owners lost more
money than they did in 1900. it is also
true that not in any year was the in
eXplica BILE falling off of patronage so
manifest as it was in 1900.
This public apathy was all the more
remarkable when it is considered that
never were the teams of the National
league so thoroughly we'll constituted
to please the patrons of the game and
attract their patronage. AS a matter
of fact, the various clubs never APP
peared so we'll matched in playing
strength, never contained SO many bril-
liant and attractive players or fewer
! bad ones. Then, from a commercial
/ standpoint. the era was prosperous
| Money was plentiful among the classes
which patroniZe the game. With every
thing III it's favor the great national
sport at first dragged, shone but dimly,

fashion. With one exception every

this exception was in a town where the
gaming habit DIETING on games) was
so strong that it helped attract the
people who love gaming better than
| baseball.
Even that greatest of all clubs, the
| most wonderful baseball team that was
ever put together, the Brooklyn club of
1900, failed to attract paying patronag e
either in it's home city abroad. The
Brooklyn club played the most wonder

pastime. Its exhibitions of brilliant and
masterful ball far exceeded everst hing

manual and mental plays made by the
men of this club We're simply astonish-

ton of baseball players failed to make
money.
