WANTS CLEARING HOUSE
FOR BASEBALL PLAYERS
President Dewey of Boston Nationals
Has Plan to Help the
"Poor" Clubs.

President Dewey of the Boston Ma
finals has plan for a national clear.
ing house for baseball players which
he will put up to the national commits
sion and the major leagues. In addi-
ton to this he will press resolution
limiting the number of players to be
held by any one club in either league
to IS players after May Is of each
year.
Dovey's clearing house scheme is de-
vised to do away with the exorbitant
prices paid by some of the clubs for
players and to put all clubs, regardless
of their money, on an equal basis. He
will ask the national commission as
formed at present, to be the clearing
house.
According to Dovey's scheme every
club in both leagues by May Is must
reduce its staff to Is players All play
ers who are released, whether new
players or drafted from minor leagues,
are to be sent to this clearing house.
The clearing house will fix price
on each player and this list of players
with their prices is then to be submit
ted to the clubs in both leagues, be-
ginning with the clubs of lowest stand
ing. After they have had their pick
the list goes to the better clubs. In
this way the poorer clubs. with no
money, will have chance to build
themselves up, as no player can go
back to the minor leagues or be pur.
chased by club of higher standing
until the lower club has waived on
him at the listed price. Dewey thinks
the national commission will hearken
| to the scheme.
THE club that won the pennant,' u
said Mr.. Dewey, with many of ita
players at the top of form, even If
| they did go bad the following year,
would have as good chance as any
other club to strengthen, even if it had
| to wait a season or so to do it. One
year club might be weak in pitchers
or another year weak in the infield
Under the clearing house conditions
the weak clubs stand a chance which
to-day doesn't exist. The clearing
house for ball players is, in my opinion
the salvation of organized baseball

NEW BLOOD TO BE SEEN In
NATIONAL CUE TOURNAMENT
Many Good Players Listed to Fill Va
cancies Made by Demarest
and Others.

There is likely to be some new blood
in the coming amateur championship
tournament under the auspices of the
National Association of Amateur Bill
lizard Players at New York. At least
two of the players who took part in
the championship last year will not
compete this year-Calvin Demarest,
who is now a professional, and J. F.
Poggenburg, whose wife died recently
and who has retired from competition
for while. 1t is doubtful, too,
whether E. w. Gardner plays this year,
and Wright of San Francisco is not
sure of entering.
There are plenty of amateurs Of
class, however, to make up good
field. Eligibles for this tournament,
players whom the tournament COM
mittee would regard as equal to 4
grand average of at 1S:2-this, will
be the first year for 1872 in the nation
al amateur tournament, though it was
the style of play in the last interna-
tiOnal communicable DR.. L. l.. Mial,
Arthur Townsend, Charles B. Norris,
Byron Stark, Wilson Foss, Martin Null
lin, Messrs. Rolls, Mayer Morton and
DIR. Uffenheimer of Philadelphia,
Messrs. Brown and Whitehead of New
York. Dreher of Cleveland and Jack
son, Bingham and Conklin of Chicago.
All these will not enter. but there will
be enough probably to give Sufficient
length to the entry list.
The N. A. A. B. P. championship
has been won by the following play
ers: 1901, Townsend; 1902. Gardner;
1908, Foss; 1904, Poggenburg; 1905,
Conklin; 1906, Gardner; 1907 and 1908,
Demarest.
Demarest's two victories gave him
the trophy for keeps, and a new one
will be played for this year. The N. A.
| A. B. P. has decided that outside OF
the trophy the regular prizes shall not
cost over 500 apiece this year. There
will be the usual special prizes for
high runs and best averages. The
place for the tournament has not been
decided, but should it be held at the
Liederkranz club at Brooklyn again nc
admission will be charged. Admission
would be by invitation only.
A French amateur championship
tournament is to be held in Paris soon
and efforts have ben made to induce
several of the American players to en-
ter. None is likely to be over, how
ever. One of those who was invited
was ]. F. Poggenburg, but he wrote tt
the Count de Dree that he would moi
be able to CO.,
Plans are already being discussed
for another international tournament
in 1910, and it is expected that one will
be held either in New York or Paris

Bringolf has been interested in proper

he has been in Colorado and Wyoming,
visiting relatives in the former state,
and he came to Lewiston direct from

Central Idaho Mineral Region Should

the Districts.

o. C. Lapp, of Sites, one of the men
chosen by the county commissioners to
superintend the gathering of exhibits
in Idaho county for the Seattle fair, ar
rived in Elk City Monday and has made
arrangements to get ore from this dis
trict. George Shissler, at Newsome,
and J. L. c. McCafrey, of Elk City,
have been engaged to assist in getting
together the samples of ore from the
two districts. Mr.. Lapp viii visit Oro-
grande, Buffalo Hump and Dixie and
will appoint an assistant in each dis
trict. The ore should be at the Lapp
store in Elk City by June 5th. 1t will
be sent to Lewiston to be shipped to
Seattle with the collected products
from Nezperce county, the two counties
going in together on the fair exhibit.
The Importance Of this move, the ad-
vantages that can be obtained by hav-
ing a good mineral exhibit at the big
fair, will readily appear to the thought
ful man. The fair town being the gate
way to the gold fields Of the north,
it is quite natural that considerable dis
