LEAGUE BASEBALL
FOR TWO CITIES
M. ]. Farnbaker Thinks Padu-
cab and Cairo Will Have 1t
Too Big Salaries, Long Jumps and
Excessive Railroad Fare Gauss
ed Teams To Lose.
HAS CIRCUIT IN HIS MIND

NJ. J. Farnbaker, who is here TO
Iopen up a moving picture show in
The Kentucky theater, says that
Cairo and Paducah will be in base
ball leage next season; and already
The is busy mapping out a circuit. He
lis baseball fan first, last and al
ways, and disclosed his plans for
next season, and his reasons for be-
lieylng that fans here and in the
Egyptian city will demand profession
al league ball next season.
'Paducah can not be a success in
league without Cairo, and Cairo
can not do without Paducah, and
that point is understood" he began.
1--WE had four years of league base
ball, and with every succeeding year
the company grew faster This car
ried with IL an Increase in salaries,
and pretty soon we saw that the
towns were too small to support the
teams which fans demanded 1t was
a cry of faster BALI all the time, and
the expansion of league baseball soon
caused the demand to exceed the
supply. When the Kitty league start
ed in 1903 there were &c leagues af-
|filiated in the national agreement.
Now there are 40, so you can easily
see how professional baseball has
grown, and what an enormous de-
mand there is for fass ball players
With larger league taking all the
fast players, the smaller league could
not pay large enough salaries to
tempt company fast enough to suit
fans, and We had to quit.
''Giye 'em a rest" we said, and
this year they are getting it. Mark
my words. Fans in Paducah and Cal
TO and other cities where they have
had league ball, will demand it again,
but they will have forgotten the COM
parison. We can start with slower
ball players and give them good
sport. There may be comparisons be-
tween this player who started year
or two ago, and members of the new
team, but they will not be able to
really see the difference.
Another reason why we will be
able TO nave league pail next season
is in the reduction of railroad fares.
Formerly, before the interstate COM
merce act against discrimination, ball
teams got a two cent per mile rate,
with one gratis ticket for every ten
players. The act cut this out, be-
cause it was really discriminating.
The recent two-cent fare acts in
Illinois and other states, which will
become general by agreement Of
combined roads, will put us back
again where we can travel teams with
the former reduced expense.

CoMMENDs OFFICERS
FOR GOOD WORK DONE

The splendid work of the men on the
Los Angeles police force and the good
results accomplished the last few days,
during which time the number Of crimes
has materially decreased, has brought
forth from Chief of Police Edward Kern
the following letter of commentator and
thanks:
''It has been brought to my attention
by division commanders that consid-
cradle number of officers on day watches
have voluntarily and without any special
instructions or request worked overtime
and into the night during the last few
days, covering exposed places through
desire to prevent further offenses of vio-
lence and to apprehend the offenders.
"Such action on the part of the officers
affords me deep qualification, and indi-
Gates an interest in the departments s
work and an unse.fish devotion to duty
which is just cause for pride.
"I wish every officer who has so acted
to accept this as my personal thanks to
him."
