with a general admission fee OF 20 cents.
There are very few professionals among
the players.
1t is evident that the players in the minor
ranks will think twice before jumping the
traces. An illustration is given in the case
of Pitcher Wolfe of the Kansas City club
who was wanted by Cincinnati. George
Tebeau threw a scare into the westerners
when he warned them not to jump either
the National or the American League
threatening deserters with the blacklist
That proclamation undoubtedly had more
weight with Wolfe than offers OF extra
coin. =
In the apparent extremity of the St.
Louis National League club President
Dreyfuss of the Pittsburg club proposes as
a partial relief to donate two of his play
ers to St. Louis Mr.. Dreyfuss says he does
not know what other National League
clubs will do in the way of donations, but
he is satisfied that the National will be
represented by a strong team at st. Louis
next season. Mr.. Dreyfuss will not make
known the names of the two players whom
he will part with, but the prevailing
opinion seems to be that Conroy will be one
Of them.
There does not seem to be the slightest
doubt now that the American League has
captured the star players of the st. Louis
toarp the mound pitv will have
two clubs next season. No matter what
ones sentiment in base ball may be, 1t Is
hard to deny the American League all the
credit for being a hustling set who have
not yet been caught mapping. The securing
of the pick of the St. Louis team for the
American League team in that city is a ten
strike and blow at the National. which can
not retaliate- The National League Is a
warning body, really. fighting with Itself
all the while. Take for instance, the, case
of Pitcher Swormstedt. Both Cincinnati
outbidding the other. The American
League, too, is boosting salaries every
where but the clubs of that league are not
fighting each other, as Is the case IN the
misunderstanding News.

That the Cincinnati club has been dicker-
