The All Stars of this city were
overmatched yesterday by the Peo-
ria Social Athletic football team in
game at that place. The men from
the Still city were SO superior in
weight and experience, in fact, that
there was no comparison between the

had piled up "A scores without half

PLAYERS ON THE ALERT.

The first meeting of the Players
Protective Association since it ratified
the agreement entered into between
the National League and Its represen-
tatives in regard to contracts for the
present season, will be held this
month. The fact that the players sue
ceeded 80 well in bringing the National
League around to their terms has made
some Of the more tiighty members Of
the organization holder, and they are
now advocating that when the League
meets next fall a resolution Of the
players shall be presented to the mag
mates In which the players shall insist
that the salaries which are in force
this seaon shall hold over for next-in
other words, there shall be nc enforce
ment of the salary limit rule In 1902,
and that there shall be 40 reduction in
salaries. An insistence on this point
will do more than anything that the
magnates car devise to bring about
a speedy settlement of the differences
between the National League and The
American League. Neither organi2a-
ton can afford to pay for another year
the salaries that players are drawing
this season. AS a matter of self-pro-
lection they must get together, so that
salaries may again be brought to an
equitable basis, and base ball at least
saved from being a losing venture for
the men who have invested thousands
In 1t. Let but the players insist on
this legislation concerning salaries and
they are certain to see peace between
the National and the American, also

HAHN.s FINE PITCHING.

The work of the Cincinnati team
so far this season has been of a high
order. With the material Of which the
club Is composed IL was not thought
that it would occupy a very high place
in the race for the National League
pennant, even at the start of Of the
season. But baseball is full Of sur
prises and the Cincinnatis once more
exempliied the old saw. The fine
work Of the Reds star twirlers-Frank
Hahn and Big Bill' Phillips-has
contributed more than any other cause
to the high standing OF the team. The
former has particularly distinguished
himself in the box. No pitcher in the
league, with the exception of Mathew
son, has made a better record thus far.
His recent feat Of striking ont 16 Of

LEAGUES MAY JOIN.

Significant and half-developed hints
concerning a possible amalgamation of
the two major baseball leagues Of the
country, when the magnates OF the
great organizations meet next fall to
consider their plans for the following
year, as being given circulation with
a frequency that ~forebodes realization.
Enough proof has been given the lead

teams, whether they belong to the
American or the National League, VIII

money in the treasures. This Is
enough to give assurance that both are

that has not made a handsome profit
when the expenditures and the receipts
are counted up. With this state OF az
fairs outlined before them the mag
mates of the rival organizations are
not going to allow any foolish war to
spoil their chances Of raking In the
dollars. They. have their eyes opened
to the fact now that the players are
the persons who are being benefited by
the rivalry, and they see, too. where
thousands of dollars in expense money
may be eliminated by a coalition. AS
things now stand every player Of any
ability Is at a premium. Whenever a
good one wants to jump from one
league to the other there is always a
tempting bit Of salary awaiting him
and he has only to say that he wants
1t in order to get II. The magnates are
too wise not to see that this Is a use
less burden to carry, and although 1t
is highly probable no such thing has
ever been discussed by the officials OF
the two organizations with one anoth-
err 1t cannot be said that such a move
ment has been u%nthought OF. There
may never be an open amalgamation.
Manifestly this would be a foolish
move, since the supporters Of each
league, especially where the teams
come into conflict in the same cities,
would lose their interest. But there
can easily be a secret understanding
through which league will be careful
not to encroach upon the rights Of the
other.

terized by many base ball experts as
the best twirler that the diamond has
ever Known. His speed is said to sur
pass that Of the great Rusie in his
palmiest days. New York is therefore
exceedingly fortunate in having a
catcher like Smith to back him up.
Aleck has been a member Of the
Brooklyn team for several years. He
was farmed to the Hartford club in SO
and caught in 107 consecutive games
for that team. He was one of the
crowd of base ball players who took
the trip to the Pacific coast in 1897.
