Chicago Jan. S.-The vanguard of the
bers Of the National Association of Professional
Baseball Leagues arrived here yesterday. and for
. the remainder Of the week the city will be in
the hands of hordes of minors from all parts
of the country. 2. T. Powers. president of the
association was among the first to arrive, and
registered at the Auditorium Annex.
President Powers said that he did not expect
anything sensational to happen during the COM
ing meeting. and that he sure the minor
and the major leagues would come to Salts
factory settlement of the draft question.
No official business taken up yesterday,
and both the constitution committee and the
Western association failed to meet. Both bodies
intended to get together, but on account of the
non arrival of some of the members Of both
bodies nothing done.
Among the early arrivals the representatives
of the western organizations outnumber those
from the east. President Tip O'Nell of the
Western league and D. NJ. Shiyely, president Of
the Western association, the scene
early.
From indications today there is possibility
of the American association holding meeting
during the week. Two of the members will not
ing. Both Brce Of Columbus and Lennon of
st. Paul are out on the Pacific coast. President
O'Brien did not arrive until late last night, but
& George Tebeau of Louisville and Kansas City

TALKING OF A
STATE LEAGUE
Southern Minnesota Towns May
Be Organized Into a
Circuit.
SpeciaI to The Journal.

Special to The Journal. = -
Owatonna. Mimi, jan s.-The project of
Southern Minnesota Baseball league has been
revived and there is strong probability of its
being carried thru this year, Just who Is to
back the; latest venture appears uncertain, but
current report has it that u number OF baseball
fanatics In Albert Lea have quietly begun the
agitation for the placing of clubs IN eight south
ern Minnesota cities, all of which have popular
lions ranging from 900 to $4,000. 1t is said
that Albert Lea will be made the headquar ters
of the league and that the president of the
league will be selectd from among that cltys
sporting enthusiasts.
Last year the proposition killed thru the
refusal Of Owatonna and Rochester to allow
Sunday baseball, but since the court decided that
the mayor council could not forbid such sports
this obstacle has been removed and 1t seems
as tho there were nothing to interfere with the
organization of the league.
Deprived of organized ball for several years,
every city in the proposed circuit is ripe for
the innovation, and for at least one season the
teams should prove gold mines for their re-
baseball parks, fully equipped with grandstands
and bleachers and are in position to welcome
the move.
The cities mentioned or proposed are: Albert
Lea, population 5000; Austin, population $780,
owatonna population 5000; Winona, population
%, 900; Red Wing, population 5000; Rochester,
population 5000; Waseca, population 1000, and
Mankato, population $4,000. This gives total
population of approximately $4,000 from which
the league may draw, and with a salary limit
in each club of $500 month and schedule
Of four games week, all should be money
makers.
F. Faribault is also possibility. but rather a
remote one, since that city has strong 1nde-
pendent team and the owner of that team is
the owner of the only available park in the
city. He refuses to join a league and will con-
tinue his team independent organization.
The rumor has Armstrong and McCleary the
promoters of the scheme in Waseca, Saulpaugh
In Mankato and McCulloch in Albert Lea, the
other cities being yet uncanvassed for opin-
ions as to the feasibility of the movement.

The circuit proposed is a very compact one
no long travelling distances provided for

Altho nothing definite has vet been done fl

the enthusiasts here expect to see the venture

CHICAGO AGAINST
4 SOCKER LEAGUE
Some Professors Would Stop ALI
Forms Of Intercollegiate
Contests.
Journal Special Service.

Chicago, Jan. s.-What may be the first step
in the abolition of the intercollegiate contests
at the University of Chicago is under con-
sideration by the Midway faculty members and
athletic officials. 1t has to do with the Seeker
football schedule.
The questions of arranging games with teams
outside the university is said of late to have
been subject Of warm debate and pressure
it is now believed, has been brought to bear
for the prevention of any games outside.
Seeing opportunity to make a beginning
in the Seeker realm of college sports, many of
the most staid and conservative directors Of
the faculty, who have argued strenuously against
Rugby football and who see only ruin in store
for the college or university which will permit
football to go now played, especially in
the matter of straining athletic relations and
general relations between institution of
learning and another. have jumped into the SUBJ
ject with arduous enthusiasm.
Professor Albin W. Small dean Of the gradu-
ate schools and head of the department Of
sociology, who is of the most interested Of
the faculty members in college athletics, has
long argued for abandoning of intercollegiate
contests. He believes that most OF the evils
of the colleges Of sports Of today are due TO
this rivalry.
Plans for an intercollegiate Seeker associa-
ton had been laid by Coach Purcell, resembling
the Big Nine" He had expected TO interest
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and other con.
ference colleges.

Detroit, Mich, Jan. S.-A game that will bring
together the greatest football players of the
age, that will see arrayed for the first time in
recent years representative team from the
west against team of graduates of eastern
schools, and the first venture on anything like
a large scale of professional football, is the
outline OF plan on which w. Martin Heston,
Mlch1gans famous halfback, Is working on at
present in the middle west.
1t has been scheme that has appealed to
Heston for over year. He has finally suc-
ceeded in interesting not only a lot of players
OF the stellar variety, both east and west, but
also a couple of capitalists who have promised
to assume the financial risk setting aside for

You can bank on one feature of it, says
Heston. eve shall have d set of officials who
will be so strict that the least tendency to
roughness brutality will be punished more
vigorously even than in a college game. We
mean to make professional football clean
sport. Our players will all be college men,
be no deviation from the strictest interpreta-
ton of the rules. There is hope for profess
sional football without this. We realize it and
will attend to that

fessional team Heston was working the make

letters to prominent athletes who finished their

Ugly Rumors.

Prior to- the worlds championship games r,l-
mors emanating from well-authenticated sources
said that Waddell had been approached by GER
tain gambling interests to either incapacitate
himself for the contests in which his club was
about to engage, or throw" the games in which
he was to pitch. At the time Waddell and
his friends denied the reports, but Macks dis
trust of his star box artist gradually strength
ened the belief that there must have been some
semblance of truth in the circulated statements
about Waddell.
Since then American leaguers, who think that
the Athletics In their games with the giants
did not furnish exhibition of bali that was
maintained by them during the season of 1908,
have demanded that that person or persons who
were responsible for the deterioration in play
by the Philadelphians should suffer In this
demand they have the support of officials of
American league clubs who convinced that
the championship team in their organization is
superior to the premier aggregation in the older
league. 1t is suggested the national committee
should consider whatever testimony is obtain.

Baseball followers will recall that few days
