Comment on Recent Action
 Of 7Wo Leagues at Chicago

It is hardly possible that the Amer .can AssOciation and the Eastern ontIawry. \ Last ass season sS s the American money, and that organized ball was shs Nn, principal IT factor cannot be denied: d: Q few of the grouchy members of the two leagues mentioned would cost them in the neighbcrhood of s5.Q00 to invasion of the territory of the two big leagues would open up a fight that would probably Kill the bill at the start First of all they would have to lease or, buy the ground in Chicago St. Louis, Cincinnati and the other big league towns that they threaten to fn-s wade, and after getting hold of the them with grand stand. bleachers and asmodern big league outfit.

 The next step that the outlaws would take would be to try and draw from the stars of the National Amor the confines of organized bali. Their plan in trying to get these stars would of course. have to be that they would offer the players better salaries than might work In the case Of the South srn. Western and even the Pacific Coast League, but just how the Amer t(au <ASSOCtdllOn ana eastern s,tcaEue3 can get money enough to pay a. ball player bigger salary than he is get ting or can get in Chicago. New York Cincinnati or any of the other teams In the two big leagues is something ridiculous on the face of it.
 Then again ball players wifi be very ieary about getting outside of the pale of of~organized ball. They realize that while they may possibly make more money temporarily by doing the kan garoo act. they will be hundred times better or as a permanent thing by sticking to law and order. It's . good safe bet that the outlaw scheme of the American Association and East ern Leagues will never be started as iong as organized bali is in the field. and the report of Secretary Farrell in Chicago, shows that the National As- sociation is setting stronger every year.
 The two recaicitrant leagues are slated for meeting in New York on the 5th of next month, and there may be some surprises then. It is barely possible that the other owners. of the l American Association clubs win re- fuse to back up O,Brein, Geo. Tebau. and the other sore heads. If this is done, then the scheme will be killed right at the start. even if every club owner ;n the Eastern League wants d light, for Pat Powers's crowd could not make 1t by themselves. ,.ss

COMMISSIONER WILKINSON
 RETURNS FROM NEW ORLEANS

Commissioner of Agriculture J. A. Wflkerson, and Chief Clerk c. H. Bill kingsley, returned to Montgomery and their office yesterday morning from New Orleans and Memphis, where they have been in attendance upon the ses- siens of the Farmers Educational and Cooperative Union during the past few days. Both officials were delighted with the two meetings, and the de- termination which the delegates reach cd with regard to the farmer holding hIs cotton until he can sell it with a reasonable profit.
 The Commissioner stated that while the meeting at New Orleans was bub- bling over with enthusiasm, there wa~ the most conservative feeling express ed in the speeches of the delegates. Night riding was condemned Tn ati forms, but there was a determination on the part of the delegates to hold their cotton until there could be a de- cent profit to the farmer.
 The proposal of the New orleans bankers to finance a million bales or cotton for the South, he declared 10 pc in line with the idea that some SouIh- ern cfty should fix the price or the sta- nle and leave New York and it's stock exchange in second place.
 MT. BiIiingsiey returned from the ,,oeeffng in Memphis and reported most enthusiastic and lively meeting .
