County.

The membership of the CONNER

have been added during the past day
or two.
The club. il is understood, will
probably ask the city for an annual
donation of $1,000, and fiscal court
for a similar amount. The request
of fiscal court will be made at the
next regular meeting in April.
The organization has for its OBJ
ject only the upbuilding of the city

city and county both give several
thousand dollars towards its main
tenance.
Yesterday the new members ad-
ded to the club were the following:

TROUBLES OF THE BASEBALL LEAGUES

Jorlty Of transactions between major
and minor league clubs are bogus.
The national commission has given
its quasi approval to farming and
the National Association at its recent
meeting adopted an amendment to
Section 2, of Article @, legalizing
farming and forbldding the return Of
a farm player to the club to which
he legally belongs before the close of
the season for which he IL loaned.
The National league refuses to place
a limit upon the number of players
It's clubs carry and the American
league does not live up to its legis-
lation on the subject.
The National Associations repre-
sentatives should insist that both the
major leagues fix the complement Of
the team from May 10 to September
Is. 1t Is unfair to the weak clubs
OF major league that a club should
control players Il cannot use. and
also to the minor leagues which an
nually submit TO the draft and should
have the service of players not need
ed by the American or National
leagues. II a reasonable restriction
were imposed on the number of play
ess in the major league clubs ser
yteo tho curnIua ,u,uid 0p1 opnulo,,-
ment on minor league teams. BY
May 10 the major league manager
will have had sufficient time TO get
a line on his men and If mistakes
are made, one club is just as liable to
benefit as the other. The fear that
a player may show improvement upon
changing teams prevents club owners
from making sales and influences
them toward the farming practice,
The more mistakes Of this kind, the
better for baseball.
The Boston National League club
allowed Collins to 20 to Louisville in
1895 with the privilege of purchas-
ing him at the close OF the race. Use
less TO the Trlumvirs team, he be-
came star and drawing card with
the tail-ender. The National League
would have been the gamer had the
sale of Collins been unconditional.
Comparatively few major league
players have not been released and
many have given their best service
after returning to minor club.

GEN. LEW WALLACE IN
PADUCAH.
o o q o o O O O O

The Sun has received from Mr..
John b. Day, q former resident OF
Paducah. but now OF Bedford, New
York, the following self-explanatory
letter:
Bedford. n. Y, Feb. &c, 1905.
To the Editor of The Sun:
Sir: The death of Gen. Wallace
has so refreshed my memory OF my
life in Paducah, that | thought |
might write something of Gen. Wal
lace's life there that would interest
your readers. find instead there is
only an old mans rambling. There
may be something in 1t you would
care TO know, anyhow 1t can find a
place in your waste basket as we'll

(Signed) JOHN b. DAY.
Today's paper brings the news OF
Gen. Lew Wallace's death on the an
niyersary of his brilliant work at Fl
Donelson, where he checked and roll
ed back the victorious troops of Gen.
Pilloy. II would have been a barren
victory but for him that day.
To the present generation he is
only known as the writer OF Ben
Hur, to the Union soldier who knew
him in Paducah during the winter of
1861 and go and later in active
service, his death comes as per-
sonal loss.
Our Battery "a" Chicago Light
Artillery with the 9th and 18th IL
linois infantry was the force which
under Gen. Grant entered Paducah
September 6, 1861. and we remained
there until the following February,

so efficient that In after days though
widely scattered, they we're always
recognized In whatever army they
were, as being the best In the COM

that occurred to mar our otherwise
ideal life In Paducah, and of that We

Baseball conditions are not as
healthy as stereotyped statements OF
major and minor league officials
would indicate. says the st. Louis
News. Every circuit has its weak
links. and two or moreclubs in every
league are looking to 1906 10 recoup
financial losses incurred In the last
race. And In most instances they
depend more upon luck than labor
for the accomplishment of that pur-
pose. Retrenchment in expenses is
as essential to prosperity for profess
cional baseball as well equipped and
nicely balanced teams. The business
department Of the game has not kept
pace with It's artistic strides. and sue
cessive races result in the rich clubs
adding to their wealth aud the bur
dens OF poor clubs increasing with
each season. Long pennant races
and excessive pay rolls account for
the failure of all major league clubs
to realize a profit. and failure to OBJ
serve the salary limit prescribed for
each classification accounts for the
lnanci aldificulties of the second di-
vision clubs of the minor league. Re
duction In operating expenses has
been made by individual clubs In
many leagues, but professional base
ball will not be placed on a business
basis until there Is unity OF action.
There is no salary limit in either
major leagu and the first division
clubs OF 1904 will be conducted next
season at but a slight reduction in
expense as compared to 1903. The
partnership phase of baseball does
not appeal TO clubs which declare a
dividend.
As rule the most desirable grad
yates Of the minor leagues are Sc
cured by major league clubs which
were contenders In the previous race,
and the weaker teams divide the
that IL left. The games prosperity
Is not due TO the methods Of these
engaged In II as business. but to
the inherent popularity Of the pas
time. The second division clubs are
seldom accorded consideration when
stronger clubs dispose OF frst-class
players. but as rule they are trans
ferred TO a club with pennant pros
poets and a bank roll. Selfish base
ball is almost as harmful as the syn
dictate system of conducting leagues
Players who would strengthen second
division teams are kept In idleness on
the benches by contenders for the
championship or farmed to minor
league clubs in violation of the ma
tional agreement,
Prohibitlye prices are put on the
releases of extra men. and IL claim
on them Is not waived their salaries
are paid without any return In SER
vice. when league officials are asked
why such conditions are permitted,
the answer Is that the weak major
league clubs refuse to pay as much
for talent that will strengthen them
as minor league clubs The truth is
that the deals between major league
clubs are on a cash basis aud a ma
