AMERICAN LEAGUE MEETS.
Salary of Han Johnston Is Raised to
 AIH.OAO.

Chicago. Dec. 12.-At the meeting of the American Baseball League. the sal- ary of President Ban Johnson was in- creased from s10,000 to $15,000 a year.
 This action was taken upon the mo- tion of Charles Comiskey of the Chi cago Club. The question of shortening the schedule to 140 games instead of 154 as played last season, was the principal subject discussed at the gath ering but after a lengthy discussion 1t was decided that the 154 games were necessary, so the schedule next year will remain the same as last year.
 CharIes W. Summs-- of the Clevc- land Club was reelected Vice-Presi- dent of the League. There was no election to the Presidency as President Johnson's term of office does not ex- pire until 1910.
 The new board of directors appointed consists of the representatives of the clubs from Boston, Philadelphia, St Louis and Detroit.
 With the conclusion of this business 1t was decided to hold another meeting tomorrow. Previous to the meeting the directors met and awarded the 1906 pennant to Chicago.
 Reports of the exchanging of players were numerous, but up to a late hour tonight there was no one who knew of any af the proposed deals having been closed

FINANCING OF TEAM TO BE
 SETTLED AT MEETING TODAY

ceipts from car fares going to and re- turning from the games.
 An official of the Traction Company claims that even with the receipts of the fares accruing from he all game cars, it costs his company llore to op- crate the extra cars than ;1e receipts from the fares, with the losses OH the team. justify. This will all be threshed out at tomorrow's meeting, and the in- dications are that everything will bc satisfactorily arranged.
 Two things are certain--a baseball team and plant cannot be operated without money behind it. The Cniy case on record of hall players sco 'n- ing ducats and laboring for pure un- adulterated loveand affection were those rare birds who worked 4or Billy smith without hope of reward last summe"
 As general rule ball players have a disagreeabIe habit of appearing promptly on the first and fifteenth days of every month. and at such times if the treasurer dces not come across with equal promptness there always grave danger of a rough house. or course. the Atlanta players oi last year were an exception to this rule, as Billy Smith did net have to undergo the ne- cessity Of putting some of them on the payrolls to be exhibited tt Tudg Kay dnduRhS auditors. Atlanta IS III a class by herself when it comes to h- nancing.
 As to the selection of a manager. it looks i'orc like John Maiarky now than ever Frank Weikart. who ap- piled for. the position. has signed as manager of a team in Texas, md of course is put of it locally. Molesworth, who was also an applicant will, accord ing to one of the local directors, not ts considered. as by bringing him here the local outfield, which is ihe fastest in the South. with Fred Houtz, Sau A9pperious and Mike McCann, would have to be broken up--and flat is out of the question.
 Boh GiIks will not be considered, as nothinP but a playing manager is wanted by the local association. With these three out of the way, t looks probable that Malarky will Le the man and if the hardworking pitcher is SC. leceted. he will have thessupport of all local fandom next summer.
 The signing of Bigsers makes the signing of Bill Hurly Unnecessary. as Hurly was wanted for a utility frsr baseman and change catcher A young ster will be signed to help out Bit Hausen in the backstop work, anC with the signing of an infieIdr to play second or third base, Perry being sniff ted to seccnd if the new man can play third-tho team will be in good shape to begin with the season.

rows eight deep would ill the driveway and promenades of Brooklyn Bridge from end to end. The 35.000 free dln- ners that were served by public and private institutions throughout the city would have fed a dozen good sized towns or prolonged the siege of Port Arthur something like two years and q half Perhaps the most enthusiastic ct these dinners was the annual fixture at the New York Juvenile Asylum, where 300 good citizens in embyro, the mem" bers of the institution taken from the sIums, stuffed their elastic insides to repletion at a regular old-fashioned meal at the schools country home. Feed the Boy" would seem to be the motto there, not only food, but knowi- edge, and the results obtained in mak- ing good citizens show that the latter is taken as greediIy as the former.

 Losing fits Old Spirit.

New York, Dec. 12-Facts which have just come to light show that when the average New Yorker visiting in other cities describes with pride the great ness of the metropolis, certain ot his remarks should be taken with grain of salt. For instance, good deal has been said about the subway as an illus tration of the city's up-to-date trans portation system. But on top of the fact that the subway has already reach ed the limit Of adequacy. the figures show that he city has not so much to boast of after all. There Is another side to the question which may be summed up in the statement borne out by figures that in antiquated street car service New York leads the whole country. Manhattan Borough alone has more old fashioned horse cars than all the rest of the United States to- gether. even counting the mule cars in the South. The miles of horse-car lines operated in the city total little more than ninety eight as against 213 miles of trolley track. It takes 2,533 horses to pull the 394 ears of this supposedly out grown equipment Last week, ear 243, the last of the old horse cars to
 run on Grant Street, was retired. For years it had been run only as fran
 chise holder, pumping along over cob ble stones when tracks were lacking, with never a passenger to enliyen the lives of the crew. Manned by couple of sailors. the car has long been known as the Packet" and these same sail ors are now rejoicing that she has at last, as they express 1t. reached har- bor." The truth of the whole matter is that the city's transportation lines 1 are even now inadequate. One day last week. 1,4s6,T77 nickels were taken in. of which 659,6S4 were in the sub
 way. This system was designed to handle a maximum of only 600,000 | passengers day. so that trouble looms close ahead Meanwhile the city con tinues to hold the record for horse car | equipment.

A strange consignment of 14'OOO precious bricks which are being care fully guarded by the police. was re- ceived in New York this week. They were not gold bricks, as the unwary might suspect, but plain small white bricks. of an old fashioned appearance straight from Holland from a Kiln which has been making them without change for 25O years. They are to be used by the Sons of the Revolution in their work of repairing in it's original style the old Fraunces Tavern at Broad and Pearl Streets, SD that it may pre- sent the same appearance as 1t dld when Washington bade farewell to his officers there. Since then the first wall has been torn out to make snow window for a store which after wafu became saloon, and in the work or restoring it as a club house It's pa triotic owners were confronted with the problem of securing small white bricks for facing 1t in the original style. A fruitless search revealed the fact that these were not to be obtained in this country and the Sons were al- most despairing when it was dtscoV- cred that fifteen miles outside or hot- terdam. in Holland. the identical fac- tory which made the original bricks 2O6 years ago. was still doing business at the old stand. ana the pTichs "0IS ordered accordingly.
 New York now has real chemist in her midst. and if the assertions of one John Raffel be true, Wall Street can shortly give up making money and take to making gold Every one can he as rich as he likes. apparently, for the process of acquiring the yellow metal is q simple one, according to Mir. Raffel All that is necessary is to bury chunk of copper with some 'doradium." and eighteen weeks later to dig up the lump of pure gold. Sill yer can be transmuted too, but It takes one year and eighteen weeks. according to the professor, and 'there7 fore. is not likely to become popular Of course. tho secret of the whole thing lies in the 'doradium, the make up of which Mr. Iiaffel keeps to him self. He has, @owever, written to the Secretary of the Treasury at Washing ton concerning his discovery and IS even now ready to open negotiations for it's sale to Wall Street interests. Of course. If Wall Street does get hold of the secret. the common people can expect little profit from it. and 1t ls. therefore. to be hoped that MT Rairel
