city OF the land, are in Memphis to-
day at the opening OF the annual joint
convention of the American Hardware
Manufacturers Association and the
National Hardware Jobbers' Associ-
alton. Three days will be occupied by
the deliberationD OF the delegates and
many matters of Importance affecting
the hardware trade will be taken up.
Among the visitors, tie opinion is al
most universal that the country is
facing a season OF renewed prosper
ity. This note OF optimism Is sounded
by delegates from every section.
The sessions OF the convention will
be held at the Hotel Gayose and will
be strictly executive in nature. The
trade and its demands will be the
chief topic of discussion, but the gen.
eral public will not be taken into the
secrets OF the meetings. One of the
rules of both associations is that no
business session can be interrupted
for pleasure, and the members will
seek their entertainment at night
The Hotel Gayoso is the headquar-
ters for the jobbers and the Peabody
Hotel the headquarters for the manu-
facturers.

BASEBALL "BUG" BUSY
Faithful Diamond Fans in New York
Beginning to Talk Of 1909
Season.

New York, Nov. 1S.---Although sew
eral weeks will elapse before the club
owners of the National and American
leagues get together for their annual
meeting, talk is rife as to what the
baseball magnates are going to do In
the way OF changes. New rules are
being discussed, but 1t is still too early
to make a definite prediction.
The unsatisfactory ending of the
National league fight will probably
lead to a lot of talk, and NAV he a
c-.ange. The controversy that grew
out Of the tie game of Sept. 2s between
the giants and cubs. offers an excellent
reason for modifying the rules.
Harry Pulliam is sure of reelection
as president of the league. but it Is
estimated that John r. Brush will not
cast the only vote against the Ken
lucky colonel at the next meeting.
Probably by the time the meetings
take place, the national commission
will have settled the case of the play
ers who were declared ineligible for
playing post-season games in and
around Chicago. IN this particular in
stan-e the commission must either
back down or begin to assess fines by
the wholesale. 80 many piuyerS are
involved that the fines probably will be
rernitted and new rules adopted to
cover such games.
The double umpire system and the
question of barring spectators from the
playing field will be brought up by
Mr.. Pulliam at the winter meeting. 1t
is believed that no changes will be
made in the umpiring system next
year-at least not in the National
league. One reason Is that umpires
are scarce that II 10 difficult to en-
gage even four good men, TO say MOTH
ing Of eight or nire. The American
league is partly committed to the
double system, but the league has not
acted. II Ban Johnson wants two
umpires for every game he will get
them.
While Mr.. Pulliam IL noncommittal
about the umpire business, he is out
spoken regarding the regulation OF
baseball crowds. He believes that
SPECTATORS should not be allowed on
the field and that any club owner who
packs his stands should be willing TO
bar the gates against fans who can
not be accommodated.
