sidered by the league Is the revised
constitution. Various changes have
been made most of which have al.
ready been outlined. Players drafted
by higher class leagues will not be
taken back into the o. & p. This
serves double purpose. 1t does away
with the covering up" and reduces
the possibility of violating the salary
limits in assuming higher class con-
tracts
The salary limit must be observed
this season and the president will
have no choice in the matter. If the
magnates find him guilty of not full
filling the duties of his Office he may
be fined. In the years past gentle
| mems agreements" which did not hold
were supposed to be in force in the o.
& p. circuit and as a result most of
the club owners went out and loaded
up TO their hearts content and at the
end of the season were good and deep
in the hole. There will be no high
salaried players in the league this
coming season.
Another important question which
will lie freely discussed will be the
Akron matter 1t is said that a couple
| of men are anxious to take over the
Akron franchise and put club in the
| Rubber City. They may get the
franchise and they may not. 1t all
depends upon what ]. T. Windsor and
his associates think the chance of
losing money on ball club that never
paid is worth. An effort was made to
form stock company at Akron but
it all came to naught. Private inter
est seems to be the only method of
solving the baseball trouble in that
city
The baseball schedule for the com
ing season, which was made out by
the schedule committee at a meeting
which was held in the Tod house at
Youngstown, a week ago yesterday,
will also be presented to the magnates
for their approval and acceptance.

was so cool he had to turn his collar
up.
After few hours we got the ship in
the right place, about quarter OF a
mile south of the den, and Pa got the
cowboy ready with his lasso. and the
German ready to yell murder in his
language and the negro ready to
throw overheard for the lions to eat,
and Pa said, Turn her loose" and we
let go of the rope, and the ship sailed
right straight for the den, and we all
climbed upon a big rock to watch the
proceedings. 1t was the most exciting
moment of my life, except the time
the fat women in the circus sat down
in Pas lap, and crushed him beyond
recognition. and they had to scrape
him up with case knives.
There was Pa at the wheel, his eyes
staring ahead at the lions, all of the
lion family having come out of the den
to see the airship, and the dog lion,
the head of the household, waving
his tail and making the air fairly
tremble with his roaring.
Pretty soon the airship was right
over the den, the lasso was thrown
over the dog lions neck, and drawn
tight, and he coughed and strangled
like negro being lynched, and then
he turned tail and ran down into the
den in the rocks, with all the other

off the frame and as Mr.. Hagenbach
came up In a perspiration, Pa said:

the ground like n man who had con-

asked the cowboy how much more
rope there was left, and was told about
ten feet. so he told them to let up a
minute until the driver drove the cage
up to a point on the rock not far from
where the lion would come out, and
when the cage was ready and the door
open, so the lion could see goat
tied in the cage eating hay, Pa said
to the men to give a few more jerks,

After putting his cigarette a little,
and looking TO see If the cage was

were not pulling on the rope to line

The idea of airships is all right In
theory, but they are never going to be
reliable success. The trouble is you
never know what they are going to
do next. They are like a mule about
doing things that are not on the menu.
IL you want to go due south. the air
ship may decide to go north, and you
may pull on all the levers, and turn
the steering gear every way, and she
goes north as though there was no
otter place to so.
We waited for weeks to get new
supply of powder that makes the gas,
and finally It came. We got the bag
full and Pa and the cowboy with the
lasso and two others, a German and a
negro, got on the rigging, and about
fifty of us held on the drag rope, and
Pa turned the nose of the machine
south towards where he had located
a mess of lions in a rocky gorge, and
he was going to ride over the opening
to their den, and let the cowboy lasso
the old dog lion, and choke the wind
out of him, and drag him to camp by
the neck. but the airship just insisted
on going north, and It took the whole
crowd to hold her. and Pa was ur
there on the bamboo frame talking
profane, and giving orders.
She was up in the air about fifty
feet, and Pa pointed out the. place
where the lions den was to the soutf
about mile, and told us to drag tn,
airship tail first acrass the veldt, tC
the other side of the den, and cut he
loose, so we dragged the ship ava,
around south of the den, taking us al
