Manager DonnelIy Advises Asso-
citation That He is Lining
Up Candidates.
HIS VISIT Is DEFERRED A MONTH
M. n. Sexton Elected Member
Arbitration Board of New Ma
tional Association

Frank Donnelly. manager OF the
Rock Island baseball team. writes Sec
rotary Lou Eddy that he will not be
able to come here for conference as
to plans for the coming season before
early in Decem Der. as his new duties
in Springfield are such that he will be
obliged to keep his nose 10 the grind
stone for some weeks. but he gives
assurance that he is keeping his
weather eye out for players and will
have a frst-class bunch 10 pick
from.
Few, il any, of the members of the
past seasons local team will be re-
tanned by the new manager. He has
made this announcem ent. He states
there are only i've of the men who
made up the team that he would con-
slider. The others he knows either
personally or by reputation as having
faults that, in his opinion, unfit them
for satisfactory work on the diamond.
Donnelly is himself a man of strict
habits and will not countenance
drinking, late hours and other weak
nesses so general among professional
baseball players. His idea is that the
men should report for practice at 9
O'Clock every morning during the
season, whether it be an off-day or
not He explained to Secretary + Idly.
when the latter engaged him at
Springfield, the rules he intended en-
forcing if he took tue management Of
the .eam. The officers of the local
association are thoroughly in accord
with his ideas as to how q baseball
team should be conducted, for in no
other manner can satisfactory results
be attained.
Now that Rock Island is assured of
able management, the one hope is for
a team of fast players. But those
who know DonneHy's reputation are
satisfied to trust him for that

Not Profitable Talk.

There is one young gentleman OF the

Government Excludes Private Persons
and Societies From Assisting in
Relief Measures

81. Petersburg, Nov. 1.-THE minis
try OF agriculture published its annual
autumnal crop report for European
Russia The minister has 1900 cor
respondents west OF the Ourals. All
crops were below the average it is
stated, and in some parts Of the east
and south they we're bad, IN places
very bad The staple grain, rye, was
particularly deficient. Potatoes were
nearer the average, but suffered with
other breadstuffs. The unfavorable
season was aided by field mice, which
swarmed in Perm. and by other pests.
The deficient harvests Of 1900 caused
a shrinkage Of 100000 roubes IN the
income from the payment of peasants
for their lands, and the minister of
finance is resolved to materially di-
minlsh the estimated receipts from this
source In the next budget
The government appears fully con-
scious Of the added responsibility that
it has assumed by virtually excluding
private persons and associations from
participation in relief measures. Judg-
ing from official publications and such
scattered notices as individual papers
publish from time to time every ef-
fort is being made to discover and miti-
gate suffetlng. II Is stated that the
governor of Saratoff has organized in
tho district OF Khavlinsk a special re-
lief commission composed of the Gems
y-Nachanlik-the government agent
the president of the executive council
Of the zemstvo and the Red Cross dele
gates.
The Red Cross will open free eating
houses and direct the medical relief.
The greatest difficulty is anticipated
from the Tartars and the Finnish
tribe known as the Mordva. The Tar
tars rent their lands to Russians and
are destitute. The cases Of scurvy and
typhoid are increasing. Grain is being
distributed at the rate of two pools
(about ~ pounds) OF rye per month
per adult A thousand free meal tick
cts are issued daily. The distress has
been increased by a fire which de-
stroyod 1900 huts.
