NATIONAL LEAGUE SEA.
SON GIVES PROMISE OF
PASSING ALL RECORDS,


New York April l3.-ln my judg.
ment 1906 will mark the banne!
year, not only I'm the National
league, but In prOfe- sl0nal baseball
In general. By banner year /
mean that the patrons Of baseball
viii witness the highest type OF
skill yet shown IN the playing OF
the game, and, judging from The
interest shown by the press ana
public In the preliminary work OF
the various teams, the efforts OF
the so-Callcd magnates In proyid-
Ing the national sport will be re.
warded by ptronuBc never yet re-
Ceived In the history OF the game.
On April IA the National league
will enter upon the thirticth year
Of its existence, In all the Year,
of its career / don't believe It eve,
uttered upon campaign that
promised more i'm every sense Az
does the approaching season, The
patronage enjoyed by our organl-
1ation In 1904 reached the high
water mark, both IN attendance
and receipts and ! confidently look
to see both exceeded by decided
gains,
base my predictions ON several
common with all baseball interests,
Is enjoying the boom incident to
the benefits Of ORGANIZED baseball,
which so happily rescued tho game
from the chaos and confusion and
even feud In which II was a few
years ago. The public, freed from
the chickering's of the warning ole-
meuts I'm baseball, has tiyatcd its
attention on the game itself and
the result has been shown I'm the
Increased attendance from the At.
lantIC to the Pacific.
Then, again, clean sport has sue.
7eedcd rowdy bah, and skill Is gi.Cu
It's true reward and is not suDor.
dinate to tTickcry and uutalrnes-.
A higher type Of play has been the
result and the game not married hy
iisagreeable Incidents has a greater
charm for Its patrons, the great
American public
Lastly. and more particularly af-
fecting the National league, | be-
licvc the coming season will be-
most successful for the reason that
It promises a most interesting
championship race Thousands of
dollars and much time have been
spent by the clubs that finished
behind our champions Of 1904, the
New York Giants, and | believe
the efforts Of MesrrS Selee, Clarke
Duffy, Kelley, Tcnnoy Hanlou and
Nichols will bear fruit In a cham
pionship race that will be worthy
the support OF our patrons
