Manning states that they have been
approached by McGraw, who told them
that he had assurances that the Ma
uonal league would be enlarged in
I902 by the addition of Washington,
and Baltimore in the East and Detroit
and Indianapolis in the West. Presi-
dent Johnson was promptly notified Of
the proposition. McGraw is anti-John-

the American league was so we'll gov

The PreSrdenfs yocbf,
Fall River Coffon Mills.

The Fall River manufacturers of
common print c'oths who have given
notice of cut in wages do not take
kindly to the suggesting that they cut
down their production instead and
thus give the market chance to alb
sorb surplus stocks and open the way
for a stiffening of prices. These man
ufacturers say with some truth that
if they were to reduce production
while their competitors did not the lat
ter alone would be the gamers. Re-
duced production to be really effective
cotton mills and they are SO widely
distributed that unanimity of action Is
impossible. At the same time the t X
tile Manufacturers Journal has it's
doubts whether the cut in wages II
made, will add materially to the profits
of the Fall River mills. It says that
a price reduction may come IS con-
sequence of the wage reduction. Man
ufacturers seldom retain any benefit
from special advantages The buyer
is usually the beneficiary. The fact
Of the matter is that there is so much
competition in the manufacture Of
common cottons that while mills which
have new and improved machinery and
are well managed are able to make
money mills with inferior machinery
cannot do so unless they can beat
down their workmen's wages. The
employees at Fall River are not ready
to submit to the proposed cut, and IL
it is insisted on there will be an ugly
labor war in that city.

this years race with Brooklyn doing
most of the sprinting.
Lajoie has distanced all competitors
in the country in doubles, while
Crawford leads in triples. Crawford,
Flick and freeman have made most
home runs.
There is no denying the fact that
Brooklyn feels the loss of McGinni-
ty and Cross. McGinnity is better by
far man any pitcher Brooklyn has,
while Cross is playing the liveliest
kind of game for Philadelphia.
Lajoie, Of the Athletics, hit safely in
twenty-seven straight games this sea-
son and in this respect leads all the
batters in the country. In forty-seven
games he failed to hit safely in but
three. A remarkable sticker is Napo-
