SOME DETECTIVE WORK.
Mr.. Chalmers found a telegram
awaiting him from Chicago. 1t read

PLAYERS AFFECTED BY CLIMATE.
There are some baseball players who
can stand to play in any city in any cir
| cult in the country, while others must
have certain climates in which to perform
before they can show what they really
can do. Tom Corcoran, the Reds captain,
was asked the other day how it was that
some players could not make good in GER
tain cities, while in others they played like
stars.
1T is all owing to climatic conditions"
said CorCoran. Take Tom Daily, for in
stance. He is playing as fine game at
second as any man in the National League
to-day. Yet, when he was with the Chi
cago Americans he was not fielding up to
his standard. nor was he hitting much.
The climate of Chicago did not agree with
him, and 1t required change TO bring him
around right again. There are a number
Of players in the business who invariably
fall down when they strike St. Louis, for
the reason that they cannot stand the
heat there. Others find the salt-air damp
ness of Brooklyn and Boston disastrous to
their abilities. while with others the
handicap that makes them look like minor
leaguers whenever they play there. One
hears frequently of a star being praised
by men who see games in all the cities of
the circuit. and then some other chap viii
step up and declare that he could never
see where this particular player came in,
as he never plays good ball in our town..
There are many such players in the big
leagues who hate to visit certain cities,
because they cannot do themselves JUS
tice there. because of the climatic condi-
ditions. and many a good man has been
ruined by being compelled to remain In a
city where the climate did not agree with
him"
SALARIES WILL BE LOWER.
The signing of an agreement between
the major and minor baseball leagues
which is to govern the relations of the
organizations is particularly important in
that it means the end of exorbItant SAL
aries for players. While the minor leagues
apparently gained few concessions from
the majors, the agreement means much
to them because II assures peace With
protection for their palyers guaranteed,
the magnates will begin cutting expenses,
and the major league managers, antici-
pating the change, have for some time
been casting about for young and afnbi-
tious players who cannot command large
wages. There will be many new faces in
the line-ups of the big clubs next year,
while the minors will catch the driftwood.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
When old Father Time pushes his cal
endsr around for another week, the 1905
baseball season will have passed into his
tory as one of the most glorious and
prosperous eras OF the national game.
The National League, through its presi-
dent, has but recently stated that the
parent organization of baseball has not
before finished a campaign since the pres
ent eight-club regime in such a prosper
olIs condition.
According to Mr.. Pullian1. not a club in
his organization lost money, while New
York. PittsburS. Chicago and Cincinnati
have all made money in sufficient quanti-
ties to stave Off the wolf for several sea-
sons.
Only one league. the Pacific National.
has failed this season, and it IS not a
total wreck, as four clubs will continue
TO carry through. their part of the original

Philadelphia. Cleveland. Detroit and Chi

good. st. Louis and Washington have
plso made money for their stockholders
The only doubtful proposition in the Amer

New York. The Invaders" with their
heavy salary list, Will more than likely
quit to the bad.
The American Association has made
more money than last year, while the
western League is on a sound footing as
a result of its present business The
Tbroe-Eye League, K. /. T. League Mis-
souri, Valley. New England, and the ever
prosperous Eastern League, have all made
more money, as whole, this season, than
any time during the last ten years
PLAYERS SHARE OF PROSPERITY.
Nor have the stockholders of the clubs
been the only beneficiaries of the era of
prosperity. The players have come in for
their share of the gate receipts. Their
salaries have been higher than at almost
any time IN the history of the game.

The next season found him doing duty
on the slab for Paducah. His work there
was of such quality that it attracted the
favorable notice of the st. Louis National
League management. and. on recon-
mendation Of Frank Pears. ''Wee Willie
was given a trial with the local major
league team. Although he had many
chances to play with the big Eastern
teams, Willy steadfastly refused their Of

His performance for the Browns this
season stamps him as one of the leading

Although the Browns look to be the
better team. they do not look bit more
superior to the Cardinals now than they
did in the spring. AS is well known, they

The post-season fever has struck all
the towns except New York. and base

year for at least ten days after the close

teams will not be played for the reason

In the American League Boston cannot

is not at all likely.
Cleveland has the same cinch on sec

sition.
Third place in the American League,
however. still furnishes material for an
interesting fight. The .'Invaders' and last

hot battle for this place, with the chances
about even up. The Invaders" are just
beginning to show their rea. form, and

though Detroit will cap the second di-

seventh position, while Washington has
as good hold on the bottom of the
