man, according to word from Bloom
ingtcn. who has returned his con-
tracts satisfactorily TO President Hol-
| land. The Bloomington correspond
ent says: President Edward Holland
is anxious that Three-Eye league man
ayers avoid an error in preparing
| their contracts fer their players dur
ing the season of 1904. He notices
that nearly every contract is dated
May 10 Sept. Is. inclusive. In case
that the season opens earlier and
closes later, as viii undoubtedly be
true this year, the clubs can not con-
| troll their men before May l or after
Sept. Is. The proper dating in his
opinion is from the opening of the
season to the close. and when this is
done there can be no misunderstand-
ing. If the schedule could be agreed
upon early, it would be possible to fill
out the contracts in conformity. but
as this seems TO be impossible. mana
gers should prepare their contracts in
the indefinite form indicated. So far,
Rock Island has been the only club
that has been accurate in this respect.
The mistake appears trifiirg. but the
occasion might arise when the conse-
quences would be serious to some
club"
The reported signing with Cedar
Rapids by Fora Oevenger is looked

An EnnDty DclusiOn.

How public conceptions are
and how inscrutable the powers that
govern prices-when the stables are
controlled by a CombinatiOn-is demon
strated by the latest information on
corning the ice crop OF the east. The
deluded public Of that section has
been taking for granted that after such
a winter ice will be cheap. But this is a
shallow and empty deSnliOn. n Is now
explained by the ice combination that
more must be charged next summer be-
cause the Maine ice crop cost more
than ever to harvest. The weather was
so stormy and adverse that the men
could work but a share of the time.
The ice vas so thick that the ordinary
avs could not cut 1t, the blocks were
too large TO TT the runways, and the
men got discouraged and demanded
higher wages. So the cost must be put
up, because there was so much ice
shat only the usual half crop could be
secured. This will doubtless surprise
the innocent purchaser who has to pay
the ice bills. But he viii swallow it as
usual. Indeed, that Is the pan of Wis
dom; since IL he kept Oh kicking the
companies might raise the price still
higher to pay for the cost Of getting
