first national association of baseball
clubs was formed. 1t was strictly an
amateur sport until 1868, when MI
Chadwick brought about the separa-
ton of baseball classes into amateur
and professional. The present Ma.
tional and American leagues resulted,
with thousands of salaried players in
those leagues and the smaller ones.
1t is a part of baseball history thai
Mr.. Chadwick, who grew up in Brook
Ign, made up his mind in 1856, after
seeing a game of baseball at Hoboken,
n. j., that the game must become the
great national sport He tried to get
the city editors in New York inter-
ested, but found little encouragement
They would not print news about the
game Finally the New York Times
agreed to run baseball matter prepared
by Chadwick. The city editors look
upon baseball quite differently now.
Mr.. Chadwick from time to time
brought about desirable changes in the
rules of the game through suggestions
in his newspaper work and by appeal

Gambling, with poolrooms, bookmal-

kept free from such conditions and
largely through Father Chadwicks eff

famous sanitary commissioner of Lon

FARMERS MAY HOLD TO
PART OF THE CROP
Believe That Values May
Advance.

Farmers in Americas yesterday
especially the smaller ones, who
still held to a small portion of their
crop, expressed hope of an advance
in values since the political excite
ment of the presidential election is
subsiding. While some of them may
sell out, others will hold on to
few bales until the holidays, or even
later. in the hope of getting better
price for cotton. The farmers say
the cotton crop is very short, and as
they have very little to sell they are
determined to hold as much as posi-
BILE for better prices Now that cleo
ton is over it is hoped by many that
nrices viii advance. The railroad
men in CITY say that they are ex-
pecting business to improve.
