FORTUNES FOR Ball PLAYERS,
Friendly Rivalry in the Two Great
Leagues.


The great baseball battle which oc-
CURED short time ago between the
pennant winners of the National and
American Leagues for the seasons
playing recalls to mind that it was but
few years ago that these two rival
baseball associations were clashing
tooth and nail in deadly war of ex-
termination and survival. 1t was then
that the American League, under the
leadership of Ban Johnson, made in
roads into the ranks of the National
League. capturing its star players and
enllsting them in its cause through a
rainbow of big salaries. Rival teams
were placed in Chicago, st. Louis, Bos-
ton, New York and Philadelphia and
princely salaries offered to the players
of ability. There were, of course, suits
at law, and injunctions were sought re-
straining the contract jumpers. One
particular instance Of this is remem-
bered in the case of Lajoie, Delehanty.

the warming of an automobile horn, the
hunter is warned Of the approach of
the leader of n flying flock Of Canadian
geese. On come the lOngnecked wild

case of severe lightning. Still an un-

appeared to be foolish impulse,

the camp. This was done without
lights; and the tents and other equip
