APPEARANCE OF MINOR LEAGUE
MAGNATES HERE AROUSES INTERES.

Although the sign nothing doing is
hung out around baseball headquarters
generally. the distant rumbiing of a
active campaign TO begin in the near fu-
ture is beginning to manifest itself.
ST. Louis is not the least inactive city
In the circuit. and the simultaneous ap-
p%earance Of so many minor league officials
is suggestive of many star chamber con-
f%erences.
Recently President Burt OF the Coast
League. President Pat Powers Of the
Eastern League, and President Sexton of
the Western League were in the city.
They conferred at the Southern Hotel al
most hourly. but still they were as tight
as clans when it came to divu.ging any
information regarding their real purposes
for comforting.
Just here to see the Fair was the u.s.
ual answe to the remotest question about
their sudden appearance in st. Louis.
The probable reason thai the trio landed
here was to discuss the Class IA proposed
at the recent meetings of the minors. Then
again they may have been considering
their ordnance in case of an open conflict
with the majors.
That the minors should protect them
selves moro from the Entertainments of
the major leagues must be conceded by all
fair-minded critics. But how they Will &C.
complish this is a problem that no one has
been fully able to cope with.
Major league clubs have the upper hand
now. and all that the minors have left is
to make the best out of a a situation.
TO PURCHASE PLAYERS.
Last Thursday evening w. H. Watkins
of Indianapolis was the guest of r. L.
Hedges at the Southern Hotel. Watkins
was also doing the Fair" But there vas
a slight suspicion in inner quarters that
Watkins was here to discuss the proba-
bic purchase of some Of the present mem
bers of the St. Louis Browns.
Mr.. McAleer of the Browns Is OF the
opinion that he has a string OF young
out next season. At present Mack" is
spending a brief vacation with Doctor
Starklof. Bobby Wallace and other friends
down In the st. Francis country killing
ducks. If McAleer should be fortunate
enough to land a couple of ducks, whose
fingers are not oieageneous. and whose
batting nerves are not affected with palsy.
It you'd be a lucky happening for st.
Louis. But McAleer AYERS that the only
kind OF ducks that he is now after are OF
he eathery tribe.
TWELvECLUB LEAGUE.
The old question OF a tweIve-club league
was recently reopened by Fred Postal.
former owner OF he Senator's. when Fred
passed through the city on u proposed tour
of Arkansas.
Mr.. Postal Is still one of the men who
believe that the best interest of the ma
1onal game require a twelve-club league.
He says that there are now not enough
good players to go round for sixteen major
league clubs.
Postal Is right In this contention. There
are not enough ball players Of major
League talent In the country to make SIX
strength.
Postal believes that return to tho old

OSCAR BRocKMEYm.
Captain and full back OF C.. 3. G. team

Considering the class OF its opponents
this season. the C. b. c.. team has made
as good a showing as any team in the
city. The college lads lave won all the
games played the first part Of the sea-
son. and among them were teams that
o~utweighed them by pounds to the
man. n others who were looked upon
to have a walkover against the local elev-
en-.
Most OF tine teams success is due to the
coaching of big Jack" Wilbur. who took
charge of the squad at the beginning of
the present season. and has developed as
fast a team as there is in the city.
The only drawback. II any. to the team
is that It is not as heavy as 1t might be,
gold have defeated teams that greatly
outweighed them.
At the beginning OF the season it looked
as though C. 3. c. would not give as good
an account of itself as in former years,
as most of the material from which to Sc
lect the team was light. and It was not
until several weeks after the season had
opened that the heavy men appeared and
practice had to be started over again.
After the Easton avenue boys had played
several games they began to improve. and
while they are now playing a great game,
1t is said that they have not stopped In
the advancement line.
When a football championship was
talked OF OF the Worlds Fair. C. B. C.
applied for entrance to the contests. but
thev were denied on the grounds that
they we're not In the proper class.
They then issued an open challenge to
the Two foremos teams of the city. but
each turned down the def OF the Cote
BriIliante lads. INC nov they claim part
of the local championship as a result OF
the other teams refusing 10 play to decide
the superiority.
The college eleven has been playing
great games. the most surprising of which
vas the tilt with Lombard at the campus
recently.
Before the game came OF. reports from
that training cam,s were to the effect that
the team WIS . heavy one. and was fast.

AL SCHULTZ.
Half back of c. Il. c. team

When the team arrived they proved to be
heavy, and nae they been pitted against
a slower team than the college eleven they
would a appeared fast. but the great
speed OF the college boys made the quick
ness Of the Lombard team look like ''thir-
ty cents of bad money and after the
game man wondered how it happened.
SURPRISED THEIR FRIENDS.
After c. 3. c. had scored its first touch
down In his game, few thought that il
was real football, but rather imagined
that 1t was a mistake on the part OF the
visitors to allow the college boys to score,
but soon these persons changed their
minds. n the college boys ran UP a
score that proved that it was real foot
ball that was winning for them.
The team, when in good condition. aver
ages about 155 pounds. although The alb
sence of Wynne. the big guard, who was
suspended from the team last week. will
bring down The weight to about $50
pounds.
1t IS said by many followers of the local
teams. that the college has the best pair

times, n cover a great deal OF ground
Birmingham is built just in contrast to
January. although they work together like
clock machinery.
Brit is about 10. but is small, his
height being about 5 foot 4, and he weighs
only 1N pounds. January. on the other
END, Is tall, lean sort of a fellow, and is
valuable from the fact that lie seldom
allows a player to pass him. as his reach
Is so long that he covers a great deal Of

They have distinguished themselves In
two different ways. Birmingham is very
fast on his feet. and in nearly all cases
AN outrun a punt. and as sooa as the
opponent catches the ball, he is dropped
by the little fellow.
His tackling has been a feature of sew
eral of the college games, and while very
small and frail. he has only once been
hurt badly enough to retire from the
game, and this was In practice. Being
small It is almost necessary for him to
tackle low, which always brings down
the man.

The former Senator magnate admitted
tina. If Johnson had not shown hostility
to him he would now be interested in the
Detroit club. But then Mr.. johnson would
not have been the Car OF the American

proof of the abiding wisdom of :he Cleve,-

REDS POOR RUNNERS.
Had the Reds shown the proper form
on the bases during the past season we
would nave been in second place and per
hsps We would have beaten New York."
remarked Manager Joe Kelley Of the Reds
recently.
1T has been our Door base work that
has cost US most of our games. We arr

stick TO cut a figure in the race higher
than We finished. and vet l venture to
say that neither New York nor Chicago

concerned.

Is it? But New York will have but one
of its regular players over the mark. and
the same is true of Chicago. We did not
bat strongly, that Is true. but we are not
far behind. II any. the teams tha. lead
US in the race. To my notion. It narrows
itself down to base work. and I figure that
It is there where we have been weak.
Surely no one could complain of our
pitchers. Their work has been Of the
highest order. I Will pit my twirlers
against any in the league or In either big

II Will make one prediction SO far as
the Reds are concerned. and that is that
without STRENGTHENING a single depart

year than we did this. and there is every

not going to talk about tough luck, for

Those games we PLAYED at st. Louis
convinced me that We have a team which

break well for US until the finish.

While he was a good player here. he
had not been fully developed. and when

so much different from the local aystems.
1t did not take him long. however. be-
fore he was one of the foremost candi-
Gates for the tackle position. His playing
has been satisfactory to the coaches. and

expected to spring some charge
against their opponents just before

such charges are invariably false
and are only sprung at the last
moment in hopes Of deceiving some
one. The Standards report Tues
day that the democrats were open.

because you have made the best

had sent carload of your boys
