Where Bali Players Come From.

WneTe Bdi TldyerS Tome Ffofns l
Charlie Comiskey says: "The best ball
players developed nowadays come from lit
tie towns In Ohio and Pennsylvania, and
there is a belt of country. running through
parts Of both States, which produces the
most promising and valuable young tim
Der Of the period. OF course, many good
men come from California, but II will be
found that few Of them were born in
California, and that many Of them came
from this same belt of territory.
THE reason for this IS simple. Through
out the section there are more little in
dependent clubs than you can enumerate.
Every town has its team, and usually a
strong team, too, as many of them have
shown in battle with the National and
American aggregatons. These teams are
well supported. play on good grounds get
good money, and give their boys every
chance in the world to develop. Thus it
happens that a host Of players-Sheckard,
Fielder Jones, Slagle. this same Clarke,
and many others 1 could mentlon-came
from this part Of the country, and the sup
ply Of good young7ers seems 10 be grow
ing steadily larger there and smaller in
other regions"

MINISTERS
WANT TIME LIMIT AGAIN
The Only Dissenting Vote on
the Question Was That
of DR.. Murray

Members Of the Wilmington NJ. e.
Preachers Association. with one ex-
ception. have put themselves on record
by declaring I'm favor Of the restoration
of the time limit OF pastor
ates in the Methodist Church.
The exception is the Rev. w.
l.. S. Murray u. D.. who is now COM
pleting his eighth year as pastor OF
st. Paufs Church and has been asked
to return for another year.
The question was brought up by DR..
Murray himself az a meeting OF the as
sociation last Monday. when he read a
paper on THE Time Limit" Discus
sion was postponed until the meeting
yesterday. when the subject was talk
ed over at great length.
The time limit win be one OF the
important topics for discussion at the
meeting OF the next General Confer
ence, which will be held in Los An
geles. California, when a determined
effort will be made to have the dis
cipline amended so as TO restore either
the three or five-year pastorate limit.
The five-year limit was abolished four
years ago.
Resolutions viii be presented at the
session OF the Wilmington Conference
in March instructing the ministerial
and lay delegates TO the General Con-
ference TO vote to restore the time
limit.
DR.. Murray claimed that the time
limit viii not destroy the itinerancy
for there have been ninety-six years OF
the time limit and seventy years with
out the time limit. History shows there
was an itinerancy before the time
limit was made effective in 1904 and
since the time limit was abolished IN
1900. The time limit only moved thre,
preachers in 100 in a year but few mer
stayed five years in a place. When 8
church and a pastor are doing well 4
Is a plain business proposition tha
the relation should be continued.
1t was claimed that the time limi
overruled Providence. If a man had
great revival his last year he must &,
by the almanac and a stranger mus
care for the probationers. Grea
building projects remaining I'm the las
year incomplete must be given into tn
hands of another because OF the tim
limit What business man would um
dertake TO run his affairs in that fash
ion.
The Rev. Or. A. w. Lightbourne. o
Epworth Church, the Rev. j. w. Eas
ley. OF Harrison Street. the Rev. As
bury Burke. Of Wesley. and the Rev
O. W. Hurst. Of Newport. discusse
DR.. Murray's views yesterday, afte
which the question Of limit or no limi
was submitted to a test vote. Ever
minister excepting DR. Murray de
clared in favor of a restoration OF tn
time limit.

"Roomy fields, hard. level footing and
a clear, open space with natural sur

American League Park is situated just
right for all these things. When the
ground is hard and level you have a

the best for hitting, and the fielder can't
get the ball quickly enough.

LOOK OUT FOR WILMINGTON
Shooting Team May Go To Baltimore
On Thursday

The return match between the VIII
mington and Baltimore trapshooters
viii probably be decided at the Balti-
more Shooting Associations grounds
Thursday. 1t Will be a team race at
100 targets per man.
The 3. S. A. shooters are not in the
best of form as they do not practice
at targets during the winter months.
The Wilmington boys are said to be
IN fine form as just at present the
sport is having a big boom in the Del
aware city where four clubs are now
engaged in the sport and a fifth one
is being organized.
The Wilmingtonias a few weeks ago
defeated the Baltimore team which
went to Delaware to meet them, and
there is naturally a strong friendly
rivalry now between the two cities. II
it is possible to get the home shooters
out to the B. S. A. grounds today the
boys viii have some practice.
The exact makeup of the Whining
ton team which win come here is not
now known. It is thought that the
team will consist Of nine or possibly
ten shooters. The makeup OF the local
team cannot be determined upon until
the day of the shoot.
Mr. Hood Waters, one Of the cracks
OF the B. S. A., had to start for Georgia
today on a business trip. the duration
of which he does not know. Last year
his trip extended over nine months.
Mr.. Z. ID. Coe. of the b. S. A., who
is now IN the South, may possibly
reach Baltimore in time to be a mem

team, has been under the weather for
a few days.-Baltimore sun.
