Dissolution Fails to Como as
Predicted.
ORGANIZATION WOBBLY
Clubs Post Forfeits but May
not go Through Season.
Sharon Franchise Transferred to
Steubenville--Wright Says SAL
ary Limit will be Enforced.

Youngstown. o., March 26.--The
o. and p. league still lives. 1t got
a renewed lease on life at the meet
ing here last night at which every
club in the organization was repre-
sented. The Sharon franchise was
transferred to Steubenville. Newcastle
retains the franchise for that city and
f. E. Clepper OF Gharon, will con-
troll the Steubenville franchise, which
he owned in Sharon. Each club post
ed its forfeit money OF $500, guaran-
tceing to go through the playing year.
The league is now in better condi-
tion at the opening of the season
than at any time in its history. The
stand taken by President Wright at
the last meeting here, when he de-
rlared he would not permit the sea-
son to start unless the forfeit money
of each club was up, had the desired
effect
The change of Sharon 10 StelIben-
vile has neGessitated a rewriting Of
the schedule. An evening session
was held to do this work. The sea-
son will open May with Youngstown
at McKeesport. Newcastle, at Erie,
East Liverpool, at Canton and Akron
at Steubenville. The teams which
open away from home will play at
home May 13 with the same clubs
with which they open the season.
The schedule provides that the clubs
shall pair off on all holidays as fo!-
lows: Newcastle with Youngstown.
McKeesport with Eric, East Liver
pool with Steubenvine and Canton
with Akron. This means tnat the
clubs thus paired shall play morning
and afternoon games with each other
on all holiday dates.
The transfer OF the Sharon fran
chise to Steubenvile will strengthen
the league in the estimation of the
club owners. That city is ripe for
baseball and the newcomer is most
welcome. The sessions were harmon
ious, all the magnates expressing
themselves delighted with the out
come. Efforts are now directed TO
the success of the league and the
rivalry for the pennant promises to
be spirited. President Wright says
the salary limit will be enforced as
strcnuously as he insisted upon the
club owners obeying the clause call
ing for the posting of their forfeits.

Dope For Fans

Portland, Or. March 26.-iA short
half hours conference here yester-
day with Fielder Jones finally con-
WINGED G. A. Comiskey, president of
the Chicago White Sox, that his for
mer managers determination to re-
tire from acytlve participation in base
ball was irrevOcable and that the
only possible way to retain his serv-
ices would he as a partner in the
ownership 'of the White SIX, prop
oGition which the Chicago magnate
declined to consider or discuss.
The conditions Mnder which Jones
could have been induced to remain
in charge of the White Sox were not
new to Comiskey, nor were they
sprung on him here without warning.
They were contained in Joes' letter
to the club owner, which failed to
reach him in Chicago, but did reach
him in San Francisco.
President COmiskey has known for
weeks that the only way he could
keep Fielder in the business was as
a co-magnate, and that idea he would
not entertain seriously. Jones offered
to return at the same salary as last
year-$10,O 0,O00-and. an option for six
months on half interest in the Chi
cago American aeague club and fran
chise at reasonable figure.
TO friends here he admitted he
might shade those Inducements by
accepting the option OF buying less
than half the stock OF the club so as
TO allow Comiskey to retain the con-
trolling Interest. but maintained he
would not cnsider any chance to buy
anything but large block OF shares.
This he figured he would be in a po-
sition to pay cash for next fall

and the former Diyger's name Is
likely TO appear in the headlines
of the Blue Grass papers more than
few times.
Bob Quinn, who looks after the
business end of the Columbus club,
Is authority for the statement that
Ketter, DaTlue. and Brown will be
given thorough trials this spring.
None viii be let go unless 1t Is
certain that he will not make good
Or that he is in need for more
seasoning.
Quinn says the Columbus team
needs change in the outfeld and
there is tho big chance for Ketter.
A club Is always in need OF good
pitchers and IL Brown can de
velop a good curve ball with con-
troll Of the average kind he is GER
tain. LaRue Is the one. Of the trio
most likely to land. He has not a

in the o. s.

AT least the Ohio State league
will start the seaon with six clubs
and will probably finish with the
same six. But 1t is only a matter
of time until the Akron and Cam
ton clubs are members Of the hap
py family ruled over by Bob Quinn,
Put meanwhile the Ohio State is no
worse off for having failed to La
crease to eight clubs. Six live
ones are better than two more
with the new ones uncertain propo-

"The Cup That Cheers"

Col. Robert G. Ingersoll was an in- tellectual giant. He was fearless in all he said and did. His private life was above cavil and when history reaches a proper perspective he will stand out as one of America's greatest men. At heart he was a poet. Pages of his writings are purest poetry. The most commonplace themes were touched to glowing colors by his pen. The follow ing letter written by him has recently been discovered. It's delicate bit of writing we'll worth reproduction though in all candor it must be ad- mitted there is an obyerse side of the picture he failed to print. The letter is as follows:
 "Desr Jim:-I send you some of the most wonderful whiskey that ever chased a skeleton from d feast or painted landscapes on the brain of man. It Is mingled souls of wheat and corn. In it yea will see the sunbeams chasing each other over the blllowy fields, the dews of night, the wealth of summer and autumn's rich content, all gilded and imprisoned light.
 "Drink it and you will hear the songs of men and maidens fair, mingled with the laughter of children as they sing the Harvest Home.' Drink it, and through your veins you will feel the star.lit dawn, the dreamy, tawny dusks of many perfect days.
 "For forty years this liquid joy has been imprisoned within it's happy slaves of oak, awaiting an opportunity to touch the lips of man.
 "Yours truly,
 "RoBERT G. INGERsoLL."

 Speaker Cannon tells me that the kilt would never be popular on the wind-swep, prairies of Illinois. Why not? The bare knee hardens to the cold like the bare face. But to hear some people talk, you'd think the kilt as intolerable as Sanders McDowell's top hat.
 Islanders Mcdowell, a coal beaver of PeeoIes, said angrily to his wife one night:
 "'Havers, Lispeth, hoo many times am tell ye l wilma hae the children briugin' up coal in my top hat?'
 "'Hoot Sanders, mon, be reasonable said Lispeth. We've spoilt the shape O the top hat wi yer funny head al- ready; and since ye're heayiu' coal all day, wot can little extra coal dust in tbe headpiece matter?'

How They Salt a Claim

"I wish you would explain to me all about this salting of claims that hear so much about" said meek eyed ten derfoot to grizzly old miner who was banning about six ounces of pulverized quartz. "L don't see what they want to salt claim for, and I don't understand how they do it."
 "Well, you see, hot season like this they have to salt the claim lots of times to keep it. A fresh claim is good enough for fresh tenderfoot, but the old timers won't look at anything but a pickled claim.
 "You know what quartz is, prob ably?"
 "No."
 "Well, every claim has quartz-some more and some less. You find out how many quartz there are, and then put Tn so many pounds of salt to the quart Wildcat claims require more salt, be- cause the wildcat spells quicker than anything else.
 "Sometimes you catch a sucker, too, and you have to put him in brine or you lose him. That's one reason why they salt claim.
 "Then again, you often g'ubstake man"
 "But what is grubstake?"
 "Well, a grubstake is stake that the boys hang their grub on so they can carry it. Lots of mining men have been knocked cold by blow from grub stake.
 "What 1 wanted to say, though, was this: you will, probably, at first, strike free milling poverty, with indications something else. Then you will, no doubt, sink till you strike bedrock, or true Assure gopher hole, with traces of disappointment.
 "That's the time to put in your salt. You can shoot it into your shaft with a double barreled shotgun, or wet it and apply it with whitewash brush. If people turn up their noses at your claim then, and say it is snide, and that they think that there is something rotten in Denmark, you can tell them that they are clear off, and that you know it is all right"
 The last seen of the tenderfoot he was buying dou ble- barreled shotgun and ten pounds of rock salt
 There's no doubt but mining camp is the place to send young man who wants to acquire knowledge and fill his system full of information that will be useful to him as long as he lives Bill Nye.
