According to Larry Hoffman. in a
 letter to The Atlanta Georgian. Macon and Columbia have signed a number of particularlv clever players who hrve no communications about claiming Chi go as their homes. Hoffman is per sonaIlv accuainted with the men Tn
 question and he vouches for their abil- ity.
 Here is the way he dopes them out:
 Several local players have anixed their sigma lures to Sallie League con , tracts during the past few weeks. Eree Wohleben, young fellow. but Riant in size. has signed to cover nrst pass for Macon.

 Definite and immediate declaration of what President Roosevelt intends t0 do Is necessary to save Cuba. There need be no fear to make a bold de- claration. for the people Of this island are with tine American government If prctectorate should be declared to- morrow 1t would be received with re- joicing. restore co .fldence and insure prosperity. A few politicians seeking place and pelf would buster for a day or two and then quietly accept the inevitable.
 The next best thing to an immediate protectorate would be the immediate announcement that the present provis- ional government is to be maintained for i've years to see whether in that time the cubans could successfully con- duet municipal and provincial self gov. ernment, and whether the existing fac- tional chaos could be rer -aced by or ganized political parties haivng other aims than merely to secure the spoila of office.
 Existing conditions are demoralisina and will inevitably end ia trouble. Prompt decision from Washington is absolutely essential to restore conf. dence and assure protection to life and property.

to .the brush" if he liked 1t so we'll but he decided on another scheme. 20 he wrote Sparks that if he thought that he was 50 good, the Atlanta club was willing to think the. same way and would pay him the salary offerSd and a large and lustv bonus if he would vii, twenty or thirty games next eea- son. Sparks reply to this proposition has not been received as yet.
 Tt would not be surprising if Sparks refused to report. For whole year he was the property of the Atlanta team and during that time he was piaying ball in the wilds of West Ten nessee. Northern Mississippi and Essf- arn Arkansas. Baxter's father has money and the boy doesn't have to work if he doesn't want to- Ills pee ple are rather oppressed to his playing aflvway And moreover Baxter would perhaps rather be he best independent pitcher in Mississippi than pretty good one in the Southern League.
 At any rate. there is 9 great pos sibility that he may not sfgn an Alt lanta contract this year.
 Tn addition to Billy. Smiths other worries he has a bad cold which keeps him confined in the Aragcn and his health is miserable, and has been Tor several weeks. However. he has be- gun to improve and hopes to back in form in a few days"

 News that the rural guard Is to be increased is not at all reassuring to the best element of the Cuban people. They fear that 1t reflects the intention of President Roosevelt to permit na- tional election at an early day. in which the liberal leaders will probably be elected, and the control of ten thous- ana rurales will be tremendous weapon to use against their oppon- ents. Hence the latter are frightened and less disposed than ever to come into the open and contest the election. for they have property exposed all over the Island. while the bulk of the lib- erals have nothing to lose and everv- thing to gain, including control of the government and graft
 Governor Magoon's concessions to the liberal leaders in the way of appoint ments and pardons are encouraging them to believe that the United States fears them.

 It is possible there is not In the United States a minor league as fast as the Tri-state affair up in Pensyi- vania. which Is no longer an outiaN concern but a member in good stand- ing of the National Association. 1t will be remembered that when Charlie Schwartz left Montgomery last summer. he went to the outlaws, going on the theory that as that league was not in organized ball there would be no re- serve and he-would be free to do busi- ness with anybody he cared to this
 There has been a change since then. however. That league Is now mem Der of organized ball, and Chariie Is on the reserve list of the Altoona club. That league fairly bristles with old Southern leaguers. On the Johnstown club Is eMatty Mccoy who pitched such great ball here for Montgomery in 1905, and who was one of the stars of this league. On the same club is Scrap Iron" Beecher the old Mem bhis third baseman, and one of the best In the business. Y On the Harrisburg club is McAleea who caught here last summer and Tamsett, the fast Birmingham and Memphis shortstop; and on the Altoona club Is Charlie Schwartz and Ward, the hard hitting inf.elder who was sign- ed up by Montgomery in the Spring of l 1905, but who went to the Philadel- phia National league club getting into | trouble with them and jumping to the outlaws. <.
