National League Playing Rip
Van Wrinkle No Longer.
Organization Demonstrates Its
Thorough Awakening.
PEACE STILL FAR AWAY
Jumping Of Wolverton Back to
Rogers a Surprise.
Ball Player Objected to Being
Transferred to Baltimore.

Boston, July 23.-American leaguers
recognize the fact that the National has
at last awakened from its lethargic sleep
and has reused itself to action. Agents
are said to be working among the ball
players of the younger leagues constant
ly and when the magnateS of the Amer
lean come to ask for signatures to con-
tracts for 1903 some time this August
many of them will be given. There is
not club in the American league that
has not been tempered with and 1T IS
probable that players long regarded as
the products of the American will be
seen with the rival next year.
Peace between these warning organic
ations now appears farther away than
ever, for as all of the National league
magnates are confirmed in the belief
that war will eventually down the
American they are now carrying out
their policy. President Hart of Chi
cago is the only peace advocate in the
National and he is said to be for peace
only that baseball may be organized
again.
It is evident that the National league
has not been idle while sleeping, as is
evidenced by the McGraw deal That
there are other surprises in store for the
American, some of them quite as big
and startling the Baltimore affair
is not to be doubted.
McGraw's actions have been followed
by the report of the disaffection or
Harry Wolverton, third baseman for
the Washington club, who has returned
to the fond embrace of Colonel John
Rogers. Considering the fact that VOL
verton had suit pending against the
colonel for $500 for unpaid salary 1t
took some time for the ballplayers to re-
alize the truth of his action.
1t is probable that as Welverton felt
he had not been making good with
Lotus team and that the Senators had
another third baseman almost the equal
of Collins, Cross or Bradley, he regard
ed his presence on the team as ham
dicap. Then, too, Manager Lotus de-
sired to give him to Baltimore, as the
orioles badly needed good third
sacker To this Wolverton objected and
opened negotiations with Rogers, with
the result he jumped his contract.

Statement of Hedges.

Washington, July 23.-'There is no
truth whatever in the statement that
Heidrick and Wallace will desert US
and join the National league" said
President Hedges Of the st. Louis club,
although tempting offers have been
made both these players to follow the
example of McGraw and Wolverton.
Acting upon my suggestion to them,
both Heidrick and Wallace have in
sisted upon written and not verbal prop
ositions from the representatives of the
National league, and consequently they
have the offers in black and white. Not
sions these offers have been presented
to both players, but in every case they
have been turned over to me for suE-
gestion as to the course to be taken.
Heidrick has been out of the game for
several days on account of the death of
his mother, but Wallace has been doing
his duty like a man at short field and
hitting the ball for keeps in every game
played on the eastern trip. Our friends
at home need have no fear about Held
rick and Wallace, or for that matter,
about any other men Der of our team.
All sorts of propositions are being made
in their support of the American league
and assure me that they will all stick
to St Louis. If any of our players are
dissatisfied with the treatment they re-
ceive at our hands all they have to do
is to say so and we will remedy it if
1T lies in our power. But up to date we
have not had word of complaint, and
the. team is working together, imbued
with but one object, and that is to land
the pennant at st. Louis this season.
There has been adverse comment about
the releasing of Donohue and Maloney
from our team but that is a matter
for which Manager McAleer is RESPONSE
bic, and we endorse any action that he
may see fit to take. He is absolutely
in control of the team, and what he
does or may do we are convinced he
is acting from the best motives We
Will not weaken our team by any means
by the addition Of kahoe, who has
proven himself a tower of strength in
an emergency caused by the laying OFF
of Sugden on account of injuries We
are paying Kahoe as much as we agreed
to pay Donohue and Maloney, SO that
disposes of the yarn that st. Louis is
looking for cheap baseball talent Moth
ing Is too good for our patrons and
despite the schemes of the National
league, we will continue to play bali
at the same old stand and in the same
championship form indefinitely"

Eighteenth Week Of Coal Strike
Finds Lines Tightly Drawn.
Philadelphia, Sept. 9.-The anthra-
cite mineworkers' strike enters upon
its eighteenth week to-day with the
lines between the operator and the
mine owner drawn almost as tightly
as when the suspension was inaugur-
ated on May II. There were many
predictions that the contest would be
over by the first week in September,
but if the officials of the mineworkers'
union are to be believed the struggle
will continue for months unless the
coal companies grant concessions.
Some of the operators looked for a
serious break in the ranks of the men
weeks ago., and admit they are sur
prised at the way the strikers are
holding out. Rumors are current,
and, in fact, statements have been
made by prominent men both in and
out of the coal trade, that the strike
will be ended this month. President
Mitchell, of the union, maintains he
knows nothing of a
Possible Early Ending
of the trouble, and says he knows
nothing of any negotiations on foot
looking to that end. The only move
now in contemplation is the sugges-
ton that Gov. Stone call IN extra ses.
SION Of the legislature for the purpose
of passing a law that would have the
effect of amicably and speedily end
ing the deadlock. Gov. Stone has
given the matter considerable thought,
and has announced that if a bill al
be framed that will have the desired
effect he will Immediately convene
the legislature. Last week more coal
left the mining region than in any
previous week since the strike began.
The number of men at work
throughout the entire anthracite ter
ritory is didficult to obtain. 1t is safe
to say, however, the number, COM
pared with the total number Of work
ers ESTIMATED at las, 000), is small,
and that among those at work the

IOWA AND DAKOTA.
Farm Prices to be LeveIed-History

Iowa is one of the great states Of the
Union. Her people are wealthy, well
educated and shrewd. Agriculture is
her chief pursuit, and it has been
made to pay. The time is compare
lively short since the state was prac-
tically undeveloped. A few years ago
farm lands sold at $40 to els per acre.
to-day they sell for SIS an acre up
ward.
South Dakota stands now where
Iowa stood a short time ago, contin-
ues the Aberdeen News. Climatic
conditions are the same, except that
here the falls and winters are more
agreeable. The soil is not much diff
ferent. except that in South Dakota
there is no waste land east OF h Mis-
souri, river, the toughest of it being
good for pasture. The products OF the
farms are the same-horses, cattle,
wheat, corn, butter and cream.
At present a man may become q
farmer in South Dakota on 100 to S2O
acres of land at one-ifth to one-tenth
the cost of land in Iowa, and he can
raise at least as many dollars to the
acre here as there. The time must
come, however, wher the difference IN
the price of farms Will be leveled.
