proof he believes 1t is a good thing Tor
the game. The one great reason the mag
scared over Fietcher's third league is that
they realize such a league would be
go in many of the larger cities OF the
National and American leagues which
now have but one team.
There is always the danger OF the game
getting away from the present powers
and because of the fact that the fans are
so anxious to see base ball every DAY
during the season there is plenty OF room
for another league of major caliber. With
the proper people at the head of 1t there
is no doubt the leaders Of organized base
ball would be willing to give their con-
sent to new organization or at least to
banded.
Change of Sentiment.
A few years ago Tebeau would never
have given his consent to allow another
ball team to come into his territory. He
has learned, however, that in the cities
where there are two teams the fans turn
out better than they do in the one-team
cities and he is willing to take the step
in Kansas City. He is protecting HIM
self by doing SO. for he Is letting a club
in that is already under the protection OF
organized ball
II he should keep every one out Of the
territory. he rallies that in time he may
have fight on his hands to keep out q
team not identified with organized base
ball. The conditions in the great Amer
lean game are changing SO fast it is nee
essary for the powers to change with 1t
or else they will lose their control.
Welcome in Several Cities.
It is pretty sure guess that Garry,
Hermann of the Cincinnati Reds and
Barney Dreyfuss of the Pittsburg Pr
ates, Charles Somers OF the Cleveland
Maps and Frank Navin Of the Detroit
Tigers would be almost as glad to well
come second club into their cities as
Tebeau is to welcome a new team into
Kansas City If they can have the right
kind Of people at the head of the new:
clubs and can be assured that the clubs
will remain loyal to organized base ball
law.

MAY FIND 1T HARD
TO TRADE CHARLEY STREET
Doubtful If Local Manager Can Get What
He Wants for His Star-Squabble
in Old League Probable.

League solons has been expected to be
the most harmonious in the history OF the
organization, there is a chance OF there
being a nice squabble over the selection
would have everything his own way, but
now comes Charley Murphy with the an
nouncement that his candidate for the
job is James A. Hart, former head OF the
Chicago club.
Hart might be a most capable man,
and in springing him Murphy may get
enough supporters to effect another dead
lock, in which event the usual wrangle
will be in full force before the week Is
over.
If Mr.. Harris name had been present
ed last year instead of that of John
Ward, it is more than likely that he
would have been elected; but IN view or
developments of the past season 1t Is IN
conceivable that a majority or the clups
can be induced to vote against Mr..
Lynch, who proved his worth and his
ability in most trying season, and who
has earned the honor Of a reelection
And there is good reason for believing
that a majority of the delegates will vote
for his retention, despite the opposition
Of Mr.. Murphy.
The long schedule adopted last year by
the National League was not success.
All the clubs except two shortened 1t up

one of the excuses for extending the play
ing season, proved anything but prof1ta-
BILE. Interest was waning, and the
weather was none too propitfous. Theory
is one thing, practice is another. and IT
the club owners do not profit by the eX-
perience, little can be said for their
capacity as business men. The sport is
deserving of some consideration, and the
sport would be the better for shorter
schedule. Squeezing the last few dollars
out Of the fans" who support the game
will do more harm than good in the long
run. The playing rules are sure to be
discussed, but few If any changes are
likely. There is no reason to amend the
code in such q way as to provide for
more batting. The batsmen are doing
pretty well as it is, and to make any
radical changes, such as increasing the
number of strikes to four Or reducing the
number Of balls to three. would be ill
advised. The hard working pitchers have
their hands quite full as it Is, and the
FANS" so far as can be judged, are not
clamoring for something which would
change the character Of the game. If the
pitcher is to be handicapped still further.
the mound could be shaved off to q level
with the diamond. The necessity for
even this. however. is questionable.
