BOTH LEAGUES WILL MEET.
American and National Masnates
Called to New York.


President Ban johnson has called the
next Thursday, March S, at the Fifth-ave-
nue. Hotel. AT this meeting Johnson will
make known the location of the local Amer
fcan League grounds.
President Pulliam made the announce
ment yesterday that a meeting of the
League would be held at the Victoria Hotel,
New York, at noon on Wednesday, March A.

The lower branch of the Missouri Legisla-
ture yesterday practically killed MIR. Brit
tains bill to prohibit baseball playing on
Sunday when it adopted. by a vote of 40 to
&C. an amendment by Mr.. Huck to prohibit
football on that day. but TO permit baseball.
britain then moved that the bill be post
poned indefinitely, which was ordered.
There are a great many baseball men who
cannot bring themselves to believe that the
new code of playing rules viii be extremely
popular. The joint committees met in Chi
cago last week and after much discussion
agreed to adopt the foul strike rule in
vogue in the National League last season.
Al first the American League delegates
voted agains. il, but it was finally adopted
unanimously Many practical baseball men
believe that the rule makers have taken a
step backward In adopting the foul strike
rule The rule has baneful effect upon
the most enjoyable side OF the spOrt-the
batting side. The rule makers have almost
nuIIifed the benefits of the heightened
pitching distance which was secured some
years ago. They have legislated against
the batters for the benefit of the pitchers
and have injured the sport from the stand
point of the spectator. The principal ex-
cuse for such a rule is that IL will shorten
the game, but the true fans would rather
see good batting than to see the game
shortened about ten minutes with the foul
strike rule in effect.
There is a story in circulation to the eff
feet that Brooklyn is to be dropped to the
Eastern League inside of another year.
There does not appear to be any immediate
danger that Brooklyn will be banished to
minor league company, but Brooklyn
scribes say il would be better TO be in a
minor league than in some major leagues
the way they have been managed. Ban
Johnson has said that he does not know of
anything that would be OF more real harm
TO the American League than 10 have the
National League fail and baseball be re-
duced once more to a single league organi-
zation. On the other hand, there are some
gentlemen in the National League who are
of opinion that IL anybody Is going under
IL Is Johnson with his league. They can
see nothing the matter with their own, but
are free 10 express their belief that the
American has heap OF trouble ahead of il
. IN the next year or two. The best thing for
porters OF both leagues walk around and try
10 boom the game in the interest OF both
without making an effort to put this, that
or the other league out of business.

come out boldly and announced that they

for the candidate to control 1t. and the

That is tho trouble about using money

But in order to carry on this industry

The success of the Southern cotton mills

they have over the North in the matter
of labor It Is true that the Southern
mills have an advantage in being located
In the cotton fields. and 1t Is also true
that these mills have had less trouble
with labor than the Northern mills. be-

better terms with their employers. but
the greatest advantage OF all is the up

TO IT'S OLD LOVE.

Mr. c. w Garris, chairman OF the
South Carolina Railroad Commission,
said in a recent interview that 1T began
to look as IL the old-tme alliance between
the South and the East, with consequent
victory were coming around
This refers, of course, to the Demo-
cratic party. Up to 1895 the Democrats
of the East-that Is to say. the Demo
Gratis of the Northern tier of States-and
the Democrats OF the South. stood Shout
der to shoulder together In all political
contests. and they made a strong and
sometimes an invincible combination.
Northern Democrats stood by us man
fully and almost affectionately in our
time of trouble, helping us to defeat the
Infamous force bill and kindred meas
ures designed 10 harass and distress the
South. They were friends In need. and
| friends true and tried. But In an evil
| moment the Southern Democrats turned
| their backs upon them and formed an al
lance with the West. What was the
result? The party gained few insgnifl-
cant States In the West, and gained the
| support OF some OF the Western Popu-
lists but we lost New York and other In
fluentinl Northern States and we lost
thousands and hundreds OF thousands OF
leading Democrats In that section.
We are not going to rake up old scores;
we are not going to quarrel about the
past; but tho South made a poor bar
gain indeed when 1t exchanged the North
for the West. and 1t Is now time for the

North. 1t Is significant and 1t Is reas-
surfing that so prominent man ns Mr.
+, Ciarris, of South Carolina, should make
the statement above credited to him, and
we hope and believe that he speaks fol
the great body of Southern Democrats
There Is no natural ahiiation between the
South and the West, politically speaking
The South is. par excellence. the Demo-

whereas the people of the Middle West

Moro than that, the interests of tn,
