Significant and half-deyeloped hints
concerning a possible amalgamation Of
the two major baseball leagues Of the
country, when the magnates OF the
great organizations meet next fall to
consider their plans for the following
year, as being given circulation with
a frequency that forebodes realization.
Enough proof has been given the lead
er Of both bodies that all Of the big
teams. whether they belong to the
American or the National League, VIII
finish the present year with plenty Of
money in the treasures. This is
enough to give assurance that both are
permanent organizations, unless one
voluntarily gives way to the other.
Thus far there is not a team this year
that has not made handsome profit
when the expenditures and the receipts
are counted up. With this state Of af-
fairs outlined before them the mag
mates of the rival organizations are
not going to allow any foolish war to
spoil their chances of raking in the
dollars. They have their eyes opened
to the fact now that the players are
the persons who are being benefited by
the rivalry, and they see, too, where
thousands of dollars In expense money
may be eliminated by coalition. As
things now stand every player Of any
ability is at a premium. Whenever a
good one wants to jump from one
league to the other there is always a
tempting bit of salary awaiting him
and he has only to say that he wants
it in order to get it. The magnates are
too wise not to see that this is a use
less burden to carry, and although it
is highly probable no such thing has
ever been discussed by the officials Of
the two organizations with one anoth
er it cannot be said that such a move
ment has been unthought Of There
may never be an open amalgamation.
Manifestly this would be a foolish
move, since the supporters Of each
league, especially where the teams
come into conflict in the same cities,
would lose their interest But there
can easily be a secret understanding
through which league will be careful
not to eneroach upon the rights Of the
other.

NEW PINERO PLAY FOR DANIEL
FROHMAN.

Daniel Flahman is to offer the next
of Arthur Wing Pinero's plays to the
American public. He has purchased the
American right to the new comedy, as
yet unnamed, to be produced in Lon
don by Arthur Bourchier in September.
The New York presentation will be
made at about the same time, prob
ably by Mr. Frohman's stock company.
At what theater the play will be seen
in New York is a matter Of some con-
lecture. Mr.. Frohman did not prosper
at Daly's Theater last year, and rumor
has been insistent for several weeks
in saying he would not control the
house the coming season. The manag-
ers named as the future proprietors Of
the theater are Klaw & Erlanger, COM
prising a firm which the late Augustin
DAILY hated with deep intensity. If the
gossip proves to be based on truth the
situation will be almost unparalleled
for bitter irony.

The work OF the Cincinnati team
so far this season has been Of high
order. With the material OF which the
club is composed 1t was not thought
that it would occupy a very high place
in the race for the National League
pennant, even at the start of of the
season. But baseball is full Of sur
prises and the Cincinnatis once more
exemplified the old saw. The fine
work Of the Reds star twirlers-Frank
Hahn and big Bill" Phillips-has
contributed more than any other cause
to the high standing of the team. The
former has particularly distinguished
himself in the box. No pitcher in the
league, with the exception Of Mathew
son, has made a better record thus far.
His recent feat Of striking out 16 of
the Boston players has rarely, II ever.
been duplicated in the National
League.
Hahn is a native OF Nashville, Tenn,
and is in his twenty-fifth year. Before
his debut as a member Of the Cincin-
natis he pitched for the Montgomery.
