Two important propositions were
demonstrated by Wheeling this season.
One was the ability of the city to stick
with fast company, and the second was
the inability of the Western Associa-
ton to get along without Wheeling.
This city will no doubt have a team in
the circuit next year, but the circuit is
a guess. The situation is rather COM
picated and promises to be much more
so.
Meanwhile there are other base ball
schemes Matching in Ohio-Pennsylva-

mating in Youngstown and New Cas-
tie, for a compact league to embrace
cities In the two States. A. j. Watts,

BUYING AND SELLING PLAYERS.
President Hart, of the Chicago Team,
Discusses the Evils of the system.

President Hart, of the Chicago Team,
Discusses the Evils of the system.
Here is what President Hart, of the
Chicago team, has to say of the evils
of buying and selling players:
This buying ana selling of players
between clubs of the same league or
from big leagues by little ones is the
curse of base ball. In the National
League it has had the tendency of
keeping winning club always win
ner and a losing one always a loser.
If the players in minor leagues were
wise, and if buying could be abolished
except from clubs in leagues below,
base ball would regenerate rapidly. The
new players would have every incen-
tive to work, good players would be
developed and big leagues would have
/ evenly matched teams.
1.-The great trouble is that the minor
league managers are not on the square,
either with their fellow managers or
with the big leagues. They groom a
player for sale and cover up the good
ones if they can. To show how it
works: A player is promising. He
starts in a minor league at a small
1 anu SOou. iiC wants W
! rise. If the minor league owner We're
wise he would tell that man. Here, If
, you make good the big league will want
you; / can sell you at good salary
and we will both be ahead The play
err would play good ball, and eventu-
ally move up. When he got up he
would stay.
/ Instead of that the minor leagues
! pad up the averages of some second
rater and sell him to the big league at
a good price. The fellow can't make
good, so he goes back. He probably
got 5000 from the minor league and
$500 from the National. He will not
go back for 5000. He says. I will 20
back, but | must have $780, The
minor league manager knows the man
was popular, so he pays him a major
league salary. Both leagues lose by
| the transaction and the big league gets
to distrust the minor leagues so that
even when a man is good the reports
concerning him are not believed, and
he suffers through being unable to gel
a place higher Up.
'Wnat ought to be done is to make
an agreement whereby a major league
can take a manffrom the minor leagues
for trial for short period and return
him to the same club from which he
came in case he fails to make good"

HARVARD VS.. INDIANS.
The Carlisle Boys Were No Match
For the Wearers of the Crimson.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, October e.
Harvard easily defeated the Carlisle
Indians on Soldner's fed this afternoon
by score of 90 to 0. Harvard's line
was much heavier and easily outplayed
its opponents. Harvard also had
great deal of luck, five times fumbling
the ball, but recovering 1t instantly, At
the end of the first half the Indians
would probably have scored if time had
not been called. as ,ney had advanced
the ball from middlefield to Harvard's
eight yard line by series of trick plays
which proved very effective. The Har-
ward team showed greater spirit and
more team play than at any time this
season. On the line plays especially
every man helped to drag the runner
along. carrying him even after he had
been tackled. Marshall played a brill
liant game at quarter back and made
several good lodging runs after catch
ing punts. Harvard was only once held
