Henry B. Macdona is in town, and some
of the instructed Bryan delegates have
hinted Mr.. Macdona all day for the rea-
son that he brought along with him a
tea chest" whatever that may mean. 1t
was rather pathetic and more or less true
to see how eager these alleged Bryanites
chased the alleged possession of that
tea chest Mr.. MacGona said that he
was merely here 10 look on; that he want
ed TO tell the Manhattan clubites In New
York City just how the thing was done
here. and that he had no tea chest.
did not know anything about tea chests.
and would not have anything to do with
tea chests, anyhow.

MADE FORTUNE
in BASEBALL
LalOie Has Drawn $4,000
in Twelve Years
Work

Napoleon Lajoie will. in all probability
have made as much money out of base
oaif as any other player in the business
by the time he is ready 20 quit In his l2
years Of big league ball-playing ho has
nctted about $4,000. and since the Glove
land manager and second baseman ap-
pears TO be of a careful nature he Is
probably well off m this worlds goods.
Ills various contracts since tho time he
made his debut as a bis Lacquer with the
Philadelphia Nationals In 1896, show that
he has gathered IN that amount In sal-
aries He drew $eioO his first year, $500
the next. $4,000 in tho succeeding season.
$4,000 for 1899 and 1900 all tho while being
with the same club In 1901 he Joined
The Philadeiphia Athletics. and during
that wear and 1902 he received $500 each
season for his services. Then Cleveland
secured him under a three-yoar contract
for $4,000. which agreement was renewed
under another three-year clause at S2S,-
ooo Since 1905 Lajoic has managed the
cleveland team and while he has nover
won championship, his club has always
finished well mp In the standing. This
season his club was again a factor In
the American League race, and Il Is said
that he will be rendered another three
year contract TO sign at tho same salary
which he is now receiving.

DUCK SHOOTING ON
THE SUSQUEHANNA

HAVRE DE GRACE. Nd. Nov. 2-The
ducking season on tho susquehanna.
Flats opened to-day and unless all signs
fail It will be a poor first day. There are
very few ducks on the fiats.i and none OF
The better varieties have been seen.
II is true that the present cold wave
will bring the ducks. but since the cold
wave set in the ducks have hardly had
time to reach the susquehanna feeding
grounds.
The first day sees very few unfamiliar
faces on the fats, and this year will be
no exception, as many OF the local gum
ners outits are chartered to the same
parties who have for years been SPEND
ing the first few cunning days on the
flats. And thus Il would seem that the
number OF sports are yearly decreas-
ing, as nearly every season few are
missed.
There is plenty Of feed on the hats.
and the quality is good, the ice gorge
OF last spring having done very little dam
age TO the great beds OF wild celery.

REFORM FOR
WORLD SERIES
Plan Suggested for Putting
End to WrangIine Among
Players

CHICAGO. oct si-When the present
rules governing the worlds baseball
championship were famed it was
thought by their trainers, and all in
tcrcstcd parties. that every precauton
had been taken TO safeguard those
games from every possible suspicion
that could Re imagined by that class
Of patrons TO whom every occurrence
which they do rot prognosticate is evi.
donce of crookedness. The rule makers
tried 20 conjure up all possible vagarics
of the dishonest mind and provide a
worlds series which would be like
Caesars wife. But there are too many
people in the world who cannot under
stand that every professional baseball
PLAYER will not do what they themselves
would do II the price were right.
The players share of the 1905 series
was over $4,000. In 1906 Il was over
$780, 600. Last year, when five games
were counted into the players pool, II
amounted to over $4,000. and this yeai
the sum divided was over $4,000 From
these figures it ought TO be possible for
the two leagues and the national COM
mission 10 agree upon certain sum
which will be fair and ample in future
years Make this the fixed purse 10
reward players Of a team which has
won its league pennant, and lot the
greater share Of the purse. just as at
present. go to the winner of the worlds
series.
This purse could be set aside from
the receipts of the worlds series ana
all residue or surplus could be divideo
between the club owners and the ma
tional commission to suit themselves
if there was any residue II not the
club owners cotsa make up the deficit
from their own pockets, just as thoy
handed out the bonuses before the COM
mission ordered that stopped, A lump
sum OF fixed size would do away with
all suspicion that the players were try
ing TO increase their cnoluments, since
it would be impossible for them 70 do
so. and they naturally would get the
series over in four straight games II
possible The players would not care
whether the crowds numbered 1000 OF
$4,000. or who handled the receipts, and
the element of luck and weather would
be of interest only To tho club owners
lust as is the case in tho regular sea
son.
In other words let tho worlds series
prize be fNed and certain as is the
players salary. and le, the club owner
take his chance OF making or losine
money in worlds series. just as he
does in pennant race each year.
