 John J. Little would seem to have quite contract in going up against Professor Dwyer at Wilkesbarre Janu- ary 9th, but John feels confident that he can turn the trick

'.It wouldn't be fair to them and it wouldn't be good business policy for me. I must get matches with good men. or I'll get none at all.'-Brockton Enterprise.

AN ODLIGING BISHOP.
His Willingness fo Help Others in Trouble Was Often Taken
 Advantage Of.

So kind and obliging is the bishop of Norwich, England, that host of stor- ies are told about how he has got him. self into trouble by his willingness to help others. One day he was to hold . confirmation in a small town, and. ar irving some time before the hour for service. took stroll. His steps led him to the outskirts of the town. and, passing picturesque little cottage, Ee stopped to admire it. A pretty little garden separated the cottage from the road, finished off with neat hedge and green gate.
 "Oh, please, sir," said a voice from the other side of the hedge, would you open the gate for me?"
 This the bishop at once did. Then, to his surprise, instead of the tiny child he had expected, there stepped forth a girl big enough to have opened the gate herself.
 And why, my dear" said Dr. Sheep shanks, ''could you not open the gate for yourself?"
 ''Please, sir, because the paints wet" " said the girl.
 A glance at his hand convinced the bishop of the absolute truth. of her statement.
 Another story, which the bishop de- nies, yet which is told of him. relates that small girl having tried vainly to reach knocker on a door, asked the bishop to rap it for her. Then she advised him to run away, as she in tended to do.

There Are Critical Times Ahead in the Baseball World

farming" evil, to agree in the con- tracts not to sell, trade or transfer player without the iatter's consent and to remove the stigma of being a hu- man chattel from the player. The American league had already agreed 10 abolish farming players and Pres ident Johnson, in behalf of the league, agreed to the other requests, with a proviso about the length of the reserve rule. Instantly the Players Protective union became an ally of the American league. When the National league frigidly ignored that body on the plea that it had made too many conflicting demands, the war was on. The play CTS were then forced to see the Nation al leaguers agree to limit the number of men on a National league club to 16 and learned that secret pact had been entered into regarding the salary limit. This was a threat to the men that if they did not be careful they would be deprived of their means of
 earning a living in baseball.
 No alternative is now left the players except that of permanently sticking to
 their organization and keeping up their strike until the public, weary of going 2 tosee mediocre players on the National diamonds forces the National league to come to terms with the men. Public sympathy will be with the ''strikers'
 and against the National league If

magnates to come out of their confer ence parlor, only to get the same story that was given to the other writer's Jim Hart introduced resolution call ing for railroad to the moon, etc. Small wonder that the daily papers contained so many varied accounts of the work of the national league meet ing. 'See how many lies you can tell and you will please your readers" has been the slogan at other league ses- sons. But the meeting just concluded is a sealed book so far as the future plans of the magnates are concerned. Yet there is not fan in the country who does not feel confident that this winter the ma9nates will be ''seein' things" The very existence of the big baseball trust is threatened.' The Broth erhood war was a hard one while it lasted. Its scars have not yet healed. But the prospect for the hardest year baseball ever had is too plain to be mis- understood. In a nutshell, the reason for the furrowed foreheads of the ma jor league magnates is that the lusty young rival, the American league, has decided that it does not need to worry along under the wing of the big league and that it does not see any beneficial results in signing the baseball trusts national agreement" Furthermore, the American league is committed to a policy of expansion that means con hict with the National league. Still another reason-the American league has struck vital blow at the idea of the National league magnates owning a player body and soul. While the major leaguers have refrained from mapping out a public policy of war on the American league, one action alone shows that war measures are deter mined upon. The national agreement being no longer operative over the American league, the players of that league are likely to be signed by the big league if they will bow to the offers that the National leaguers will offer. Boston tried to sign Capt. Richard Padden, of the White Stockings of the American league, but the doughty leader of Charles Comiskey's Chicago team ''fooled" the National leaguers. This so discouraged the major league schemers that they took it for granted that President Ban Johnson, of the American league, and his eonfreres had attended to the matter of signing play CTS and had all the good men corralled. The chances are that the big league will need all of it's spare money to fight and will abandon the costly plan of signing premier players of the Amer ican league.

But now they have theiz. Players Protective association, which, temporarily humiliated ard disgraced by the magnates, contemplates a great strike.

The pugilist SaIG yesterday afternoon that every tLinG had been amicably settled; that there would be q re-marriage before ti'c cad of the present week, and he admitted that ne was happier than any mortal who lived in the new cen tuiy. It seems, however, that NIr and Ms Selby had final meeting last evening, probably to set the date and time when the marriage should take place. Just what took place at this meeting is not known. There certain ly was disa gfeoment and much weep ing over some matter of very great importance, for Mccoy frankly admit ted last night that everything was off, for the present, at least. He showed an inclination not to discuss the matter. but intimated that there are some things that even a man who is head over heels in love with a wom- an considers unreasonable. He said he offered his love and everything clen that would express his sincerity, bli there was hitch.

league to let it into Chicago. Darkness will be complete if the big league does not read the handwriting on the wall. Without public sympathy or patronage, baseball would become as dead as wrestling. The American league has pursued an honest policy in the matter of disciplining rowdy players and in assigning umpires. This the National league has not done. There are so many partners" in the big league who are insanely jealous of one another that they may wreck their enterprise. Meanwhile Clarke Griffith will continue to hurl verbal bombs into the camp of the magnates and stir up things for his colleagues in the Players Protective association.
